Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 188

The place is deserted; clearly all the professors have gone out to find Darren.

Just as Harry and his friends were thinking of leaving, they heard hurried footsteps coming in from outside.

No, it was the sound of two footsteps.

One of them, Harry would bet his invisibility cloak on, is definitely Snape.

"Dumbledore, I suggest we arrest them all and interrogate them one by one with Veritaserum. That should be enough to find out where that little Potter is!"

It's Snape.

Only he would say such cruel things!

Harry thought angrily.

"Severus, who are you referring to in your interrogation?"

Dumbledore's voice was low and tired.

Clearly, this elderly man faces no less pressure than anyone else.

"Of course it's Si..."

Snape stopped talking.

He narrowed his eyes and looked in one direction.

Harry flinched.

He felt that Snape seemed to have discovered him.

He now misses the invisibility cloak that Lezi brought him last time terribly.

In comparison, his invisibility cloak is rubbish.

Unfortunately, now not only is Lez gone, but even Darren is nowhere to be found.

If Snape hadn't also been searching for Darren, Harry would have even suspected that Snape had killed Darren.

There was always an inexplicable dislike for this gloomy, greasy professor, as well as for Darren.

Harry witnessed him giving Darren the Truth Potion and then threatened to expel Darren.

A truly despicable professor.

Harry didn't expect to get anything nice out of the professor anyway.

Sure enough, just as Harry was complaining, he heard Snape say with a cold laugh, "Dumbledore, I suggest we arrest Harry Potter and interrogate him properly."

After all, it's obvious that Potter said he needed to go out and calm down because of him.

Maybe he's the one who lured that little Potter out, got him to write those words, and then found a secluded spot.

"Kill him! Kill Darren Porter! That way, that little Porter brat won't stop him from showing off again!"

Harry noticed that Snape choked up a little when he finished speaking.

However, he immediately realized he had misheard.

Because the next second, he heard Snape continue to advise Dumbledore.

I suggest Dumbledore arrest him now, lock him in his office, and let him interrogate him properly.

Harry was trembling with anger.

But Hermione and Ron held him back, preventing him from doing anything impulsive.

"Alright, Severus, you're being too harsh on that child. Darren's disappearance was our..."

Dumbledore said in as calm a voice as possible.

Harry was listening anxiously when Snape angrily interrupted Dumbledore.

"enough!"

Snape looked very angry.

Harry remembered that Snape had the same expression on his face when they defeated the troll last year.

Harry had no idea what he was angry about.

It was completely inexplicable.

However, he suspected that Snape was angry because he was annoyed to see how powerful they were when they defeated the trolls.

This time, it was clearly because he was angry that Dumbledore wasn't interrogating him according to his wishes that he did this.

He just didn't understand why Dumbledore would use Veritaserum on Darren so easily, but not on him.

Is it because he seems more trustworthy?

But he felt that Darren was clearly more trustworthy than him.

Darren is so kind, innocent, and easy to understand; his thoughts are almost crystal clear. I don't really understand what Dumbledore is thinking.

I always felt that Darren had bad intentions.

If Darren had any bad intentions, wouldn't his older brother be overjoyed and celebrating?

Chapter 190 I want to know the truth!

Harry felt a pang of sadness when he thought of Darren.

He even wondered if Darren might have been captured, or even being tortured.

Perhaps those people will even kill him…

Thinking about it this way, Harry felt like he couldn't breathe properly.

“Dumbledore, perhaps you should come and see the Black Lake… There’s something amiss here.” A silver tabby cat rushed between Dumbledore and Snape, speaking in Professor McGonagall’s voice.

Harry noticed that before the tabby cat could finish speaking, Snape had already left, his black robes billowing in the wind.

Even Dumbledore, who had been trying his best to remain calm, lost his composure for the first time and jogged out after them.

"On the shore of Black Lake... Oh my god!"

Harry heard Hermione's voice, turned around, and saw that Hermione's eyes were already filled with tears.

“I’ve passed by there several times in the morning, but I’ve never thought to look for it there.”

Perhaps Darren was there, perhaps he was still being tortured, perhaps he watched me walk by...

Harry suddenly felt a stomachache.

Because he had passed by there that morning as well.

"Guys, stop talking. Are you still going to Black Lake?"

Ron said anxiously.

If we don't go now, they might have to wait for further notice.

Reminded by Ron, Harry and Hermione quickly ran after Dumbledore.

They were no longer willing to conceal their footsteps, as this would slow them down.

"right here!"

When they were out of breath from running, they finally saw where Dumbledore and his companions had stopped.

The scenery there was much the same as usual, but apart from Lockhart, the other professors were solemnly tapping their wands in the air.

“I have seen this scene before; the person was trapped in this spatial position.”

What is a day in our reality may have been a hundred years for the people inside.

Lockhart spoke with great enthusiasm.

Harry couldn't imagine Darren looking all white-haired.

Lockhart continued speaking.

"Of course, it's also possible that this is a point in time where, after he entered this place, he was thrown into the past and grew up from there..."

Harry began to rack his brains, trying to recall if he had ever seen anyone who looked like Darren before, because he knew that even if Darren had traveled back in time, he would definitely want to find him.

"This place has been cursed with a confusion spell and an invisibility spell..."

Professor McGonagall said solemnly.

Lockhart quickly changed his tune.

"Yes, yes, I remember now, I've seen this before in Wollong."

The place had been shrouded in confusion and invisibility spells. When you opened it, you found vast numbers of corpses inside; it turned out to be a battlefield.

Harry was almost in tears.

He imagined Darren appearing on the battlefield.

Darren must have been terrified.

He's always been so kind, how could he possibly want to see a corpse?
