Chapter Ninety-Eight: Back to the Basics!!
You can't slip away.
So many professors, and his parents. Coward Neville, and that penniless Weasley.
Oh, and there's also Granger, the Mudblood. All these people are here. If he slips away, he'll be laughed at to death.
Malfoy snorted and, forcing himself to be brave, pointed at Darren.
"It was him, he hit me!"
He maliciously withdrew Darren's name. Perhaps he could keep it a secret a little longer.
[Ding, detecting a scene where the Holy Father System is in action around the host, a temporary task is now issued:]
He stepped forward, took all the blame, and said in front of everyone: "I think I should drop out of school... I might not fit in here."
I can't guarantee that next time I see Malfoy bullying someone, I won't impulsively step in and beat him up again.
Rather than causing trouble for the professor and classmates, it's better to leave on your own.
[Ding! Mission complete, you have obtained Dumbledore's Blind Box]
Huh?
Are they releasing Dumbledore blind boxes? I wonder what good stuff I can get.
Hopefully, it won't be like Snape's wand last time. Darren looked at the system's reward with interest. [Accept]
He might even draw upon Dumbledore's magic.
Then he would instantly become the number one person in the magical world. Darren rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Of course, that's not the point now. He looked at Draco Malfoy.
Draco looked extremely guilty.
However, he still yelled fiercely at Darren, "What are you looking at? I'm going to make sure Dad fires you!"
Hmph, even if I can't expel him, I'll still give Potter a scare!
Darren Porter, being such a coward, would probably cry. Draco excitedly looked up.
He then noticed Darren's wry smile.
Indeed, Darren's face showed the fear he wanted to see. But more than that, it was a sense of relief.
He shook his head and sighed softly, "Yes, Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Malfoy Jr. is right. It was indeed me who hit him. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Draco raised his head triumphantly.
Seeing Potter's expression made him happy. Hmph, Potter should apologize to him now, shouldn't he?
Draco felt that if he had a tail, it would be wagging high in the sky by now.
However, this joy vanished the moment Darren said his next sentence.
"I think I should drop out! I've been very happy here at Hogwarts."
The professors here care about me a lot, and my classmates are very kind to me. So I can't just turn a blind eye and a deaf ear when I see them being bullied.
Mr. Malfoy's bullying of his classmates is something that can't be corrected, and I can't correct my code of conduct either.
So I choose to leave, so the professors in the province won't have to worry about me.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and obtaining Dumbledore's Blind Box.]
Dumbledore's Blind Box: Opening it will grant you any item from Dumbledore.
Darren accepted the reward with great anticipation.
Could any of Dumbledore's items be bad? He almost couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
However, he still forced a smile, which made people feel indignant and sorry for him.
How did Hogwarts become like this?
Why would Dumbledore treat a good child like this? Professor McGonagall pursed her lips.
For so many years, she had considered Hogwarts her home. But why was there something about this home that she couldn't quite understand?
"Albus, if you insist on firing Darren, then I will resign from my position!"
"Professor McGonagall said gravely," the other professors echoed. Dumbledore was stunned. He was speechless.
To be honest, who told these people that he was going to fire Darren?
However, Lucius completely disregarded Dumbledore's feelings and said with great pleasure, "Whether you want to resign or not, this... kid, I must fire him. No, he's the one who wants to leave."
Come, Draco, tell me his name. I need to give his name to the Ministry of Magic.
I want everyone to know that there's a student who actually asked Hogwarts to expel him—Draco, that's his name!
Lucius waited for Draco to open his mouth.
Narcissa frowned, glanced at Darren, and said hesitantly, "It doesn't have to be so serious. It's just a child playing around."
"This is no joke; it's a provocation against the Malfoy family!"
Lucius insisted that he found Draco seemed dazed, as if he hadn't heard him at all.
He then looked at Darren, a noble air appearing on his indifferent face.
"So, child, what is your name?"
"Darren Porter".
Darren said softly.
For a moment, Lucius seemed to hear Merlin's voice. His lips trembled slightly.
He looked down and glared fiercely at Draco. Draco quickly lowered his head.
He looked extremely guilty.
Clearly, the child before him was Darren, his long-lost son. What did he just say?
They're going to hand this child's name over to the Ministry of Magic? And expel him?
This seems a bit too serious.
And Draco only had a small bruise above his eye, nothing serious, a spell at the school infirmary would fix it...
Is this child planning to receive an education based on his love?
“Lucius, I think we should let it go. It’s just kids playing around. There’s no need to make such a big deal out of it. Draco, you should be alright, right?”
Narcissa said with a smile.
His eyes were filled with a warning to Draco. Draco took a step back, bewildered and at a loss.
Today's mom is actually Dad in disguise, right? He quickly turned around to look at his dad.
But then he noticed Lucius's ferocious expression.
He took another step back, avoiding Lucius's eyes. Wasn't he the family's little darling?
Seeing Draco's hopeless state, Lucius felt increasingly that he had ruined his son.
Is it cruel?
This kid can't be that ruthless. You could say he's kind, right?
This child is completely devoid of kindness. At least try to be a little law-abiding?
Good grief, he's defiant of everyone, yet he can't beat anyone. He's even a bit brainless.
He really wants to send this kid back to the factory for a makeshift retraining!

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Like a Ray of Light!!
Lucius was furious.
If there weren't so many people around, and if he weren't so focused on Darren, he would definitely have hit Draco on the head with his cane right now!
What kind of lousy kids are these?
Lucius felt extremely embarrassed.
We just said we'd fire Darren. How can he say it to ease the tension?
He turned his gaze to Darren, intending only to take a closer look at him.
The more I looked at him, the more I liked him. This kid could be liked by so many professors, and he was even from Slytherin. This was practically a Dark Lord's start!
She looks just like him.
No, no, no, it's not a physical resemblance. Darren looks more like Lily.
Although he didn't quite remember what Lily looked like, he knew that she was a great beauty and the most beautiful girl in Gryffindor.
