Chapter 96

He was extremely worried in his heart, even somewhat unwilling to leave, just staring at Snape like that, forbidding him from physically punishing Darren.

He had always suspected that the reason Darren was always timid was because he was scared by Snape!

"It's okay, brother, you go back quickly, Professor Snape is very gentle."

Darren waved at Harry, not noticing at all that after he said this, even Snape's expression went blank for a moment.

Harry almost jumped up.

But fortunately, just as he was about to point at Snape's face and speak ill of him, he was dragged away by Hermione.

"Enough, Harry, don't cause any more trouble for Darren.

What if, because of your impulsiveness, Darren gets physically punished by Snape in Slytherin? He is still in Snape's hands!"

Watching Hermione drag Harry away, Darren finally looked at Snape.

The expression on Snape's face was somewhat sarcastic, but his eyes remained hollow; it was unknown what he was thinking.

"Now, let's talk! What exactly did Harry Potter do!"

Snape said coldly.

His eyes didn't look at Darren, but instead stared straight at Malfoy. Clearly, he felt that asking Darren would be a waste of time.

"It's like this, Professor, a few days ago I heard them discussing the word 'dragon' in the library.

So I secretly followed them, and who knew I would discover them actually going to that Hogwarts Forbidden Forest keeper.

I lay on the window and took a look, and do you know what I found? A dragon!

That Hogwarts Forbidden Forest keeper is actually raising a dragon, a Norwegian Ridgeback, very beautiful, it's just like..."

Malfoy desperately described how great that dragon was, successfully making Snape's face turn black.

He stared coldly into Malfoy's eyes.

Malfoy gradually quieted down, hurriedly took a step back, lowered his head, and no longer met his gaze.

Darren frowned slightly.

He felt that Snape seemed a bit abnormal.

Logically speaking, wasn't he capable of Legilimency? Why didn't he just look directly?

Could it be that he couldn't use Legilimency on Malfoy? Did the Malfoy family amulet have this effect too?

Of course, it was also possible that Malfoy knew about this spell.

Looking at Malfoy's actions just now, he probably really did know. After all, the most important thing for Legilimency is to lock eyes.

It was just, why wouldn't Snape use Legilimency on him? Darren scratched his hair in confusion.

Could it be that he couldn't bring himself to do it to him? Tsk.

A master of Legilimency, actually having to ask Malfoy for the reason here. But Malfoy spoke so detailedly.

Good fellow, he could even describe how long that ugly lizard was; it was evident that this guy probably had a lot in common with Hagrid.

Right, he had to hurry and spread his Saint Father radiance.

As a little Saint Father, how could he just watch the fun here? So Darren hurriedly took a step forward and said anxiously to Snape, "Professor, what Malfoy saw was all my prank...

It has nothing to do with Harry and the others, I said just now, it was me who did it... If you want to punish someone, punish me!"

[Ding, Saint Father points +50] [Ding, Saint Father points +10]

The Saint Father points given by Malfoy were as few as ever.

"Hmph!"

Snape heard Darren's words and was noncommittal, even snorting from his nose to express his attitude.

"Professor..."

Darren called out, unwilling to give up.

Snape curled his lips in sarcasm and said in a mocking tone, "If you had that kind of brain, Slytherin would be worth celebrating!"

"But..."

"Enough, detention. Besides Professor McGonagall's detention, you will also serve a week of detention in my office.

Now go back to sleep, if I catch you again..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but one could hear the thick threat in it.

But Darren was still worried about Harry's matter, his emerald green eyes looking at Snape with a worried expression.

"My brother..."

"He wasn't caught, was he? Hurry... go back to sleep!"

For the next period of time.

Harry simply became a target of public criticism. He had been very popular with the students at first.

But this time, he took Hermione and Neville with him, and one hundred and fifty points were deducted, which made the students of Gryffindor House very angry with him.

Even some students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff felt he was annoying.

Because they also really didn't want Slytherin to win the House Cup again. Harry didn't even want to go to Quidditch anymore.

Because those people wouldn't talk to him either, and if they had to call him, they would just call him 'Seeker'.

Harry felt very annoyed.

He swore that he would never meddle in other people's business again.

Because of such a small matter, Gryffindor had points deducted, and he was ostracized by everyone.

Even Darren, he didn't know if he had been tortured by Snape.

Although Darren kept saying that Snape only interrogated Malfoy about the previous situation and then let him go back to sleep, none of them believed it.

They all felt that Darren was forcing a smile.

Because Snape was not the kind of gentle person Darren described.

When Harry dreamed at night, he dreamed of Darren being caught by Snape and tortured severely with spells.

He woke up from his dream in the middle of the night, almost crying with worry.

Hermione was a bit better; she wasn't famous to begin with, and her popularity wasn't good, so she didn't look any different from usual now.

At most, she was a bit more silent.

Neville... he was just like that; anyway, no one was more miserable than Harry.

Now every time he had class with Slytherin, those people would shout thanks at him.

Thanking him for bringing Slytherin closer to the House Cup again. Harry was extremely sad.

Fortunately, the exams were approaching. The whole school became nervous.

This made people gradually forget about Harry's point deduction.

However, Harry still told himself that he would never meddle in other people's business again.

He heard from Malfoy that besides Professor McGonagall's detention, Darren was also arranged to serve detention in Snape's office.

He couldn't imagine what kind of abuse Darren would receive.

It was a pity that he had asked Darren, and Darren always told him to rest assured, saying that Snape only made him do homework in the office.

But who would believe that? No more meddling! He would never meddle again!

However, one week before the exams, Harry's resolve was tested.

Because when he passed a classroom, he heard Quirrell crying and saying something.

He leaned in to listen.

"No... no... I can't do it anymore, please!"

It sounded like someone was threatening him.

"Alright... alright..."

Quirrell said, sobbing.

Finally, he came out of the classroom with red eyes.

Harry also saw the door on the other side of the classroom open a crack, and footsteps walked out.

He somewhat wanted to go up and take a look. But then he thought of his resolve. He couldn't meddle in other people's business anymore.

But he swore that, judging by the sound of those footsteps, that person was definitely Snape.

It seemed Quirrell had compromised.

Hmm, not meddling in other people's business is so hard!
