Hogwarts: I Obtained the Paternal System — Part 25

He had thought only Weasley and Harry were disliked by Malfoy, and that they occasionally got into arguments and fights...

All right, he remembered now.

It seemed Draco simply loved causing trouble.

Poor social skills, a poisonous tongue, arrogance, and a petty nature.

Whatever this guy did, he really should not have been surprised.

Draco smugly lifted his chin.

No Malfoy could tolerate being rejected at a ball.

Especially when he had been the one to extend the invitation.

"Are you sick?"

Becky rolled her eyes at Malfoy.

She felt that the Malfoy heir had something wrong with his brain.

Why would she, Slytherin's Head Girl this year, accept an invitation to dance from some little brat?

So she refused, explaining in passing that she would not dance with a child.

Yet that made the Malfoy heir explode.

He insisted she was mocking him.

Not only had he openly clashed with her at the ball, but now that she had come to buy books, she still had to endure this lunatic's antics.

Making an elegant lady fall in public was such a cruel thing to do!

"Malfoy, you're finished. The glory of Pure-bloods shall not be insulted!"

Becky gritted her teeth. Once school started, she would make this hateful Malfoy understand that she was only not arguing with him here because she did not want people to accuse her of bullying the young.

Once he entered Slytherin, she would punish him severely in her capacity as Head Girl!

By then, not even the Malfoy family would be able to say anything.

She snorted.

Then turned to leave.

However, Malfoy thought she was afraid of him. He grabbed the hem of her dress and said smugly:

"I'm telling you, do you think this is over? You need to apologize to me. Say that your Greengrass family is beneath the Malfoy family!"

"What?"

Becky turned around furiously.

They were both part of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Why should her Greengrass family be beneath the Malfoys?

Her Greengrass family had four children in this generation. Though three were girls, they were still far more prosperous than the Malfoy family.

What made him, Malfoy, think he was worthy?

[Ding, it has been detected that there is room for the Paternal System to act near the host. A temporary mission is now being issued: Walk over to Malfoy, frown, and say:

You should apologize. This lady did nothing wrong. Also, no one is beneath anyone else. If someone is beneath another, it can only be in terms of character!]

[Ding, upon completing the mission, obtain +50 favorability from Cassandra Vole. Accept mission?]

Cassandra?

She seemed to be a character from a magic game Darren had played before transmigrating.

Slytherin's Cassandra.

A blonde girl with a mole beneath one eye.

She really existed here?

Well, if he himself could transmigrate, then fictional characters becoming real did not seem so strange.

[Accept.]

At first, Darren had not intended to involve himself in this matter between nobles.

After all, these two kept talking about Pure-bloods. One look told him they came from the sort of families that worshipped Pure-blood status above all else.

If he stepped in, he probably would not gain either of their favor.

Even if he helped the girl.

They might even turn around and accuse him of meddling.

They might even look down on him.

So he had not even considered farming Paternal Points from the two of them.

Besides, if they were not moved, he might not be able to earn any points anyway.

Yet the mission had appeared just like that.

Hehe.

Whether she was grateful or not did not matter. He simply could not stand seeing a man treat a girl so unreasonably in broad daylight!

The radiance of his paternal love had to shine right in these people's faces!

P.S. I originally wanted to skip over the plot of these two days. Daily life scenes are easy to write, but they really are not as easy to write as the parts after entering Hogwarts.

And if they still did not enter Hogwarts, everyone might be getting annoyed.

But after giving it some thought, I decided to add two more reasons for the protagonist to enter Slytherin. Entering Slytherin for Snape alone was not enough.

So I added Head Girl Becky, as well as Cassandra.

With invitations from these two, the protagonist's reasons for entering Slytherin would be more well-rounded.

Becky's Anger

Watching the two people confronting each other in the distance, Darren's gaze gradually turned serious.

He strode forward and stopped in front of Malfoy. Frowning, he said unhappily:

"Sir, you should apologize to this lady. You cannot push her over in public just because she refused to dance with you.

"You should not humiliate her here, much less insult her through her family. Everyone is born equal. Pure-blood status has never made anyone superior. The only thing that makes someone superior is noble character!"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining 50 favorability from Cassandra Vole. Due to an exceptionally outstanding performance, you are awarded 2 points of Potions Talent.]

As Darren finished his performance, the system's reward arrived as well.

Darren quickly accepted his reward.

He smacked his lips happily.

All right, his Potions Talent was now at 8 points.

According to the system, 10 Talent points for a first-year student counted as top-tier genius level.

With 8 points in Potions Talent, he could at least be considered a little genius.

Of course, his Dark Arts Talent was particularly outstanding.

It had started at 9 points...

As for the other reward, Cassandra's 50 favorability, Darren liked that very much too.

He had not expected the system to reward this sort of thing.

Cassandra in the game had been extremely beautiful.

He wondered what she looked like in reality.

In the game, she had blonde hair and green eyes.

According to rumors spread by Draco-Harry pairing fans, she was Draco and Harry's daughter.

Of course, they were all just rumors.

Their "evil" claims, that was.

But it could not be denied that Cassandra truly had Draco's personality and Harry's green eyes.

As well as powerful magic and fearless qualities.

She believed she was better than everyone else.

Everyone else was her "dog."

Proud and sharp-tongued.

But whenever trouble arose, she silently stood at the very front.

That awkward personality had made many people her loyal fans.

Of course, many also hated her, because the game's developers had made her character someone who liked to "suppress evil," stirring up all kinds of conflicts to drive the plot forward.

Those who disliked her loved watching her make a fool of herself.

Darren lowered his head with some regret, wondering when he would get to meet Slytherin's Cassandra.
