Chapter 90

Dumbledore looked at Darren seriously.

This child always made him feel constantly moved.

Before meeting Darren, he wanted to tell others that love was the greatest thing in the world.

But now, he had no way to praise him like that. He worried that Darren would become even kinder because of it.

Holding his cypress wand, he was truly like the meaning represented by cypress: kind, with a spirit of self-sacrifice.

No, he was even kinder than those who held such wands in the past. He was like a ray of light.

Making this suspicious old man constantly moved by him as well.

"Mr. Draco Malfoy, I think you might need a detention!"

Dumbledore said seriously.

Draco looked at Dumbledore in disbelief. He had already apologized; did he still need detention?

"Yes, one month of detention, to be arranged by Severus."

A look of fear appeared on Draco's face.

He had already enjoyed many days of detention this semester. He really didn't want to go to the Head of House for detention!

"Because of Mr. Malfoy's bullying of Neville, Slytherin loses twenty points.

Darren Potter, because you hit Mr. Malfoy, Slytherin loses ten points."

Dumbledore placed his arms on the table, his hands crossed together.

He looked very serious.

Professor McGonagall wanted to say something, but he blocked her. His long beard twitched, looking somewhat comical. But no one dared to underestimate this headmaster.

Dumbledore continued: "As for Darren, I refuse your idea of dropping out.

Young wizards need to learn to control magic; Darren, you wouldn't want the magic in your body to lose control and hurt others, would you?"

Darren shook his head quickly.

He clearly didn't know there would be such serious consequences before, which was why he easily spoke of dropping out.

Now hearing Dumbledore say this, his face turned pale with fright.

[Ding, Saint Value +20]

[Ding, Saint Value +10]

[Ding, Saint Value +5]

[Ding...]

The Saint Value wasn't much, but Darren still happily accepted the reward. One act of pretense at a time.

Then, just as he was thinking about whether the matter here was over, he heard Dumbledore raise his voice and say to everyone: "Having finished the punishments, I should now mention the rewards. Hermione, Ron, and Neville.

Facing power, you faced it bravely and intelligently called for a professor; Gryffindor gains 50 points, 50 points each!"

Darren was speechless.

Alright.

Snape's half-year of effort was gone.

I wonder what expression Snape will have when he finds out? He'll probably have to find more problems with Harry. Poor Harry.

Just as Darren was mourning for Harry, he heard his name.

"Next, that is Darren. Darren Potter, congratulations, you have received the Award for Excellent Character, as well as the Special Contribution Award.

Because of your actions, Hogwarts will add a school rule: those who bully classmates will be punished with detention at Mr. Filch's!"

"What? Filch!"

Draco was terrified.

Filch was the fiercest person in the entire school.

Even Malfoy found Filch tricky to deal with.

And this person had no bottom line for punishments, often turning them into corporal punishment for students. He didn't want to go there at all.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Malfoy, it seems I forgot one thing.

That is, in addition to the detention with Severus, you also need to serve a week of detention with Filch."

"Oh my god! Dad, save me!"

Draco Malfoy looked at Lucius in fear.

Lucius looked at Dumbledore and said in a drawn-out tone: "Albus... I think... isn't this punishment a bit too much?"

Dumbledore was far less relaxed facing Lucius Malfoy than he was facing Draco Malfoy.

His face became even more stern.

"No, no, no, Lucius, what punishments children receive is the headmaster's business!"

"I am a school governor!"

"I'm sorry, I contacted the other governors earlier, and they unanimously agreed that you have lost your decision-making power..."

"What?"

Lucius shouted in shock.

At this moment, he didn't even care about his image.

How could he have lost his decision-making power over Hogwarts? Those spineless bastards!

And Draco!

"Alright, then, see you next time!"

Lucius left Dumbledore's headmaster office with a livid face. He was gripping Draco's hand very tightly.

Clearly, this gentleman needed a long time to calm down. After Lucius left.

The headmaster's office erupted in excited laughter. Ron laughed loudly and shouted: "Darren, did you see Malfoy's face? It looked like a toilet lid."

"Ron!"

Darren said disapprovingly.

But before he could radiate his saintly light again, he was pulled out of the headmaster's office by Hermione.

"Hermione, thank you!"

Darren said earnestly.

His expression was very sincere.

Hermione had originally wanted to be angry about him talking about dropping out in the office, but now she couldn't be angry anymore.

She lowered her head shyly and said coyly: "No, it's nothing, I just came up with that one method, it doesn't seem like it was of any use.

Malfoy didn't think about expelling you after he heard you were Harry's brother."

This clever witch had already seen through Malfoy's thoughts. Darren was full of admiration.

"Hermione, you are being too modest; you are truly amazing. I dare say there isn't a witch in school smarter than you."

Hmm.

Anyway, first year... ah no, at least the original work is like this. Hermione blushed.

She smiled very cutely. Until.

Ron came out of the office.

"Hermione, you and Darren came out too fast, you didn't see the scene just now; Professor McGonagall was so happy, she hugged Neville and gave him a big kiss."

I suspect she has always wanted Darren to come to our Gryffindor; did you hear her say that line: "If Darren is expelled, I will resign!"

That was really... anyway, she has never been like that toward us.

Hey, Hermione, why is your face so red? Like a monkey's butt."

101

"Whether my face is red or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Hermione said angrily.

She stepped hard on Ron's foot. She revealed a smile amidst Ron's cry of pain.

"Fortunately, Darren turned a misfortune into a blessing this time and received the Award for Excellent Character and the Special Contribution Award; he is truly amazing!"

Hermione looked at Darren with admiration.

She had always thought she was very smart.

But when she saw Darren, she knew she was far behind.

Darren was knowledgeable; as long as he wanted to learn something, he could learn it all. And unlike her, he didn't just rote memorize, but understood the meaning behind it. And he was so kind and righteous.

He was truly like a little angel.

"Alright, the way you're looking at Darren now, it's like you want to eat him.

Don't glare at me, it's really like that... by the way, I always feel like we've forgotten something?"

Ron scratched his head in confusion. Darren blinked.

It seems, it seems we really did forget someone...

"Brother!"

"Harry..."

"Oh my god, after seeing Harry catch the Golden Snitch, I've been worrying about Darren's matter the whole time.

I actually forgot to celebrate Harry's championship, and also forgot to notify him..."

The three of them ran hurriedly toward the Quidditch pitch.

However, there was no one there anymore. They searched the entire school. Finally.

They found him outside the Forbidden Forest.

"Why are you here? Just in time, let me tell you something; do you know who I saw just now?"

Darren thought for a moment.

He guessed Harry had overheard the conversation between Snape and Quirrell.

Alright, when Hermione went to find the professors they knew earlier, she also forgot to find this Professor Quirrell.

It seems Snape still has someone for company.

Harry mysteriously found an empty classroom and told the whole story to Darren and the others.

"In that case, our previous guess was true; it really is Snape who wants to get that thing through Fluffy...

Darren, don't look at me like that; it's already like this, you can't still believe Snape is a good person, right?"

Darren shook his head and said hesitantly: "I'm going to find him and question him!"

"My little ancestor, don't go; you hit Malfoy today and were almost expelled.

If you go to question Snape again, do you want to be kicked out of the magical world?

I know you're not afraid, but if you're kicked out of the magical world, your magic might lose control; you wouldn't want to hurt anyone, right?"
