Chapter 1075

He said seriously.

Darren looked at the potion on the side.

This stuff wasn't made for him by Snape.

The taste was terrifyingly bad.

When he was sent to St. Mungo's earlier, after being forced to drink a few mouthfuls of this stuff, he couldn't keep up the act anymore.

That was why he pretended to struggle while waiting for Harry here. In reality, he didn't want to drink this stuff at all.

He would rather someone give him a Stupefy.

So he leaned there and said softly: "Headmaster, I don't want to fall asleep... I get a little scared when I fall asleep, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up..."

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding...】

Dumbledore paused.

He was silent for a long while, finally walked to Darren's side, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then, I must use another method. Stupefy!"

Darren fell into Mrs. Weasley's arms.

Dumbledore looked at Harry.

Harry hesitated for a moment, gulped down the potion, and then looked at Dumbledore.

He said hesitantly: "I want to say, I'm also afraid I won't wake up, do you believe me or not?"

Harry also felt that he would rather be knocked out by a spell than drink this stuff, but Dumbledore and the others didn't believe him.

They even thought he was being clever.

Harry could only drink the potion with tears in his eyes.

He felt that this St. Mungo's potion was even worse than the one Madam Pomfrey brewed.

As Harry drank the potion and felt drowsiness brewing, he saw Dumbledore tucking the blanket in for Darren, his eyes also a bit red.

But he also felt that he might have seen it wrong.

Because Dumbledore, who had straightened up, didn't look any different.

He walked out seriously.

Darren was released on the fourth day.

Because Mr. Diggory's funeral was about to be held.

Naturally, he couldn't stay at St. Mungo's and not go earn Saint Father Value.

That was impossible.

As a little Saint Father, how could he miss such an opportunity? So he went.

Attending Mr. Diggory's funeral, Darren had originally thought he might encounter difficulties from Cedric and his mother.

But he didn't.

They were all very kind.

And also very grateful to Darren.

They were grateful to Darren for bringing Mr. Diggory's body back.

"But I couldn't save him... If I hadn't been so reckless and hadn't been hit by the magic-dispersing agent, I could have saved him."

"But I, I couldn't do anything, I watched helplessly as he killed Mr. Diggory..."

【Ding...】

Darren looked up at forty-five degrees, revealing a sorrowful expression.

This made many people feel heartache for him.

"That's not how you say it; if you hadn't participated in the Triwizard Tournament, you wouldn't have been transported there."

Cedric said guiltily.

He looked at Darren's body.

At the time, he saw Darren almost die, blood staining his robes red.

Originally, if he hadn't helped Darren put his name in for the Triwizard Tournament, perhaps Darren would never have encountered such a thing.

"That's not how you say it, I should thank you for doing that... if you hadn't let me participate in the Triwizard Tournament, perhaps my brother would have really been killed by Voldemort... The only thing that makes me feel sorrow and guilt is Mr. Diggory, I didn't do anything..."

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding...】

Darren gained Saint Father Value again.

But he still thought he should press his advantage.

So he took a bag of Galleons out of his pocket.

This was the prize money for the Triwizard Tournament winner given by Fudge, which Harry had given to him.

One thousand Galleons.

He pushed it toward Cedric.

"Take it! You don't have a job yet... you must have some expenses!"

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding...】

"No, no need, Darren, I have money, we still have some money, and I have also been accepted into the Ministry of Magic, the place where Dad worked before he died."

"He... still feels that you were wrong."

"But I know, you are the kindest, you saved his life before, this time... perhaps it was his fate!"

Cedric pushed the Galleons back to Darren.

Darren showed a stunned look.

No one thought he was faking it.

He was just too sorrowful.

In his second year, when several students who harmed him died, he was almost on the verge of a breakdown, let alone Mr. Diggory.

This gentleman who hadn't offended him too much! After the funeral ended.

Darren was dragged to the infirmary by Harry.

He stayed in the infirmary for another two days before being declared completely recovered.

However, when he left the infirmary, he was still looked at by students from every house with concerned expressions.

As if he would collapse and fall down at any moment.

Darren was starting to wonder if he had acted a bit too tragically.

Fortunately, Hermione told him.

It was Dumbledore who had warned everyone not to disturb them the day after he and Harry had their accident.

Dumbledore believed that everyone knew the whole situation, and there was no need to get information from Darren and the others.

And he stated that everyone should give Harry and Darren some private space.

Private space...

Darren looked at the eyes of those people and always felt that this was a bit far from private space; these people were almost about to eat him!

During a break, Harry told Darren the results of the interrogation of Barty Crouch Jr.

Darren showed a stunned look.

"It was him who poisoned me..."

"Yes, Barty Crouch Jr. said he didn't have time, which is why he didn't kill you."

"But Dumbledore believes he concealed some things, very likely something like a secrecy spell..." ===== CHAPTER 1077 =====
