Darren observed that Pansy here resembled the movie version, sporting short black hair, cold eyes, and captivating lips.
"Whew!" She gazed at Darren with intimidation, the corners of her mouth hooking as she said, "Poor Mr. Potter, I hope you enjoy the feast that will follow, and, of course, I hope you won't use that power to cheat."
Darren, feeling the pressure, turned pale. He pursed his lips and asserted, "I can accept punishment or refrain from using that power, but I won't be separated from my brother!"
[Ding, Father +10].
[Ding, Father +20]
[Ding, Father +5]
[Ding... ］
Another slight wave of Father's value was credited.
Checking his own Father's value, he found it already surpassed three thousand three hundred.
Equivalent to redeeming thirty-three talent points for himself, or obtaining six books or three times in silence. Yet, the urgency now lay in dealing with the impending scene.
Darren pondered on what Betsy had in store for him. Surely, this punishment was something Snape was aware of, considering he saw Snape call Betsy away earlier, arranging this matter.
Snape, being Lily's son, wouldn't tolerate his child being bullied, especially at his academy.
Darren recalled Snape's fury when he ran with Neville's crucible earlier; Snape would likely take drastic measures if students were harming Darren.
Accept the punishment?" Betsy snorted coldly. She continued, "Slytherin regulations you don't know understandably.
If you admit wrong now, promise not to go to Harry Potter in the future when Slytherin is acting together, and my punishment will be spared this time.
If you still insist, then what awaits you will be drilling your heart and bones!"
"Sizzle!" Betsy's words sent shockwaves through Slytherin. While the house had heavy penalties, drilling the heart seemed excessively severe.
During Betsy's prior discussions, she had mentioned hanging Darren upside down in the lounge. The sudden shift to drilling the heart caught everyone off guard.
Facing this, Darren held his ground. "No, I wouldn't be so sure. When my brother comes to me, it must be important, and I can't refuse him!"

[Ding, Father +30]
[Ding, Father +50]
[Ding... ］
Another wave of Fatherly values was re-credited, now exceeding three thousand eight hundred.
Betsy, wielding her wand, tapped her palm and pointed it at Darren. "Drill the heart and cut the bones!"
Darren fell to the ground almost instantly, seemingly without pain, yet his body screamed involuntarily.
Confusion clouded his eyes, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he found he couldn't—Betsy had sealed his throat.
Ten minutes later, as Darren curled up in apparent misery, a senior Slytherin broke the silence, "Enough is enough? I went first, and it was not interesting to see him howling."
This prompted a succession of Slytherins leaving, with Betsy attempting to stop them. Slytherin's rule dictated everyone punish Darren once, and no one could leave without participating.
Betsy attempted to stop them, emphasizing Slytherin's rule that required everyone to punish Darren once.
The other Slytherin students, showing more compassion for Darren, chose to give up the opportunity to leave directly.
In the end, only Betsy, Kassandra, and Darren remained on the ground. Frank and Pansy, dutifully guarding the goal, still stood by the door.
The scene left Darren drenched in sweat, contemplating the complexities of his house.
"How's it going?" Betsy rushed over to pick up Darren, who was almost drenched in sweat. Screaming had proven to be an exhausting ordeal for him, yet his spirit remained unbroken.
"It's all right..." Darren hesitated, seemingly wanting to express that Betsy was cheating. However, with Kassandra by her side, he resisted, fearing Kassandra might denounce Betsy.
[Ding, Father +50]
"Scream Curse, Curl Up Curse, Panic Curse... Oh, Sister Becky, this combination of spells is really good!" Kassandra sneered at the corners of her mouth.
Betsy's face was slightly pale, and the wand in her hand tightened. "No, no, sister... Sister Besty didn't help me cheat," Darren said hurriedly, attempting to deny Kassandra's words.
He rarely lied and stuttered, almost teasing Kassandra.
"Nothing hides from my Kassandra's eyes. But only this time, the next time I find out that you are doing such a thing, I will definitely tell Professor Snape!" She raised her head and walked out without any nostalgia.
Betsy looked at Darren with a complex expression. After Kassandra left, she helped him up.
Betsy rolled her eyes. "Well, don't think this makes us friends. It's just Slytherin rules."
Darren nodded, understanding the dynamics of his house.
