Hogwarts: I Obtained the Paternal System 28

"What exactly is your name?"

She gave this guy one more chance.

"Move!"

Darren's roar came from behind her.

Becky froze where she stood.

The nobility of the Greengrass family had earned her such an answer from that little brat.

Becky clenched her fists.

Her gaze turned icy.

She wanted to turn and leave.

But a body blocked her path.

And then... a green light shot from the figure in black robes, their face hidden beneath a hood.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"You..."

Becky's eyes widened.

Even as shock filled her, she wrapped one arm around the body in her arms and pointed her wand at the black-robed figure.

"Stupefy!"

"Incendio!"

"Crucio!"

"Petrificus Totalus!"

"..."

Holding Darren with one arm, Becky raised her wand with the other and continuously fired spells at the black-robed figure.

Watching this, Darren felt every hair on his body stand on end.

Good lord, luckily Becky hadn't planned to attack him earlier.

This was practically a one-sided slaughter!

In an instant, the black-robed figure howled and collapsed to the ground, no longer moving.

It was impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive.

Becky cautiously approached and lifted the hood with her wand.

Beneath it was a gaunt, deathly pale face.

It was a man's face.

He looked as though he had not seen sunlight in a very long time.

"Who are you?"

Becky stared intently into the man's eyes.

The man remained silent.

"Hmph, just a coward!"

Becky rose proudly, aimed her wand at the man, and coldly recited, "Stupefy, Stupefy, Stupefy!"

Useful spells had to be cast three times.

Darren even doubted whether this man would ever wake up again.

After finishing her spells on the man, Becky fired a beam of light into the sky.

She was probably notifying her family.

"Are... are you all right?"

Becky frowned as she looked at Darren.

There was an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

Even she did not know how she felt about Darren.

When she saw him block the Killing Curse for her, amid her shock, all she could think of was avenging him.

But she had not expected him to still be alive.

Was Darren special, or was this a conspiracy?

Darren naturally noticed the suspicion in her gaze.

He snorted and struggled free from her chest.

"Don't flatter yourself. I was trying to run away just now, but I was too slow and accidentally blocked the spell for you. I'd never help pure-blood supremacists like you!"

[ Ding, mission complete. Congratulations, Host, you have received one Bloodline Lottery. ]

Darren curiously accepted the reward, then began considering how to leave this place as soon as possible.

He had just remembered that he had forgotten Peeves at Flourish and Blotts. He needed to hurry back and take Peeves away.

Fortunately, Peeves was not here.

Otherwise, his actions just now would probably have scared Peeves to death.

Becky looked at the little brat preparing to leave, pursed her lips, and thought he was a little stupid.

Who would run slowly enough to block someone else's path?

Besides, she was the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family. If someone had truly blocked a spell for her by accident, they should have found a way to make her think they had done it on purpose.

Instead of being like this little brat, his eyes filled with rejection as though he desperately wanted to sever all ties with her.

It seemed that this little brat truly hated her.

But even though he hated her, he had still risked his life to block the spell for her. Was he... an idiot?

Becky coldly mocked him in her heart.

If she had done something like that, the Greengrass family would probably have disowned her.

What an annoying little Muggle-born brat!

"The Greengrass family will not forget your contribution. This is my Gringotts key.

"There are thirty thousand Galleons inside. Consider it part of your reward. I hope you won't tell anyone about what happened today!"

Becky lifted her chin.

But inwardly, she felt a little embarrassed.

If she had not squandered Galleons before, she could probably have saved a hundred thousand or so by now.

Instead of taking out this mere thirty thousand Galleons and pretending to be generous as she handed them to this little brat.

Shit!

So embarrassing!

If this little brat told others that Greengrass had only paid this many Galleons for her life, Becky's reputation at Hogwarts would be utterly ruined.

"And you, come with me to St. Mungo's in a moment.

"Of course, a Muggle-born... little brat like you probably doesn't know what St. Mungo's is. But I'm sure you'll understand after going there once!"

Becky haughtily snorted.

With her palm facing upward, she once again extended her hand toward Darren.

This was the last time the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family would lower herself for someone.

Only because he had saved her life.

"Hurry up. I'm going to Apparate. How are we supposed to go if we don't hold hands? Stop dawdling. Just because you were hit by a Killing Curse and nothing happened, do you think you're Harry Potter?

"Be careful not to suddenly die here and make your parents die of grief!"

PS: There was an error in Chapter 27. The reward of 2 points of Transfiguration talent has been changed to 2 points of Potions Talent. It has already been corrected.

Chapter 30: Voldemort's Bloodline

Darren had not wanted to go to St. Mungo's.

But noble little Miss Becky simply ignored his decision. No matter how he tried to persuade her, she would not listen. In the end, she simply grabbed him and Apparated, taking him straight to St. Mungo's.

She was tsundere to the extreme!

"Hmph, I just don't want to watch you suddenly drop dead!"

Becky gave a cold snort.

Then she pushed Darren into St. Mungo's Hospital.
