Chapter 1078

~3 min read 409 words

These people were acting like he was about to die.

Darren felt it was extremely unlucky.

Fortunately.

They were soon arranged to take the train home.

After he got on the train, he heard Ron say angrily:...

"My mom went to Dumbledore and said she wanted you to stay at our house this summer; she said she wanted to comfort you, especially Darren, she is very worried about you."

"But Dumbledore didn't agree; he let Harry continue to live with the Dursleys and let Darren live at Mr. Flamel's house."

"This is really too much, can't you two decide where to live?"

"Especially when you, Darren, haven't come out of the low point yet!"

Darren showed a helpless smile.

"I'm already better, really, I'm already better!"

He emphasized again.

But Ron nodded perfunctorily.

"Yes, yes, you're better! So... we might see each other next term!"

While on the train...

Hermione received a copy of the Daily Prophet.

She looked at Darren's worried eyes and smiled softly: "Don't worry, it doesn't write bad things about me and Harry anymore."

"And, I think she shouldn't have a chance to talk about those gossipy things for a while."

Hermione said with a smile.

Then she took a small bottle out of her schoolbag.

Inside was a beetle.

Darren looked at it curiously and said: "Animagus? Rita Skeeter?"

"Oh, Darren, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Before, when you were hospitalized in the infirmary, you were in a bad mood... I saw this thing on the window, so I caught her!"

"But..."

Darren wanted to say something Saint Father-like.

But his mouth was covered by Hermione's finger.

She leaned in extremely close and said: "Don't always be so kind... I don't want to tolerate her saying those things that drive a wedge between your feelings anymore!"

Darren felt a bit powerless to resist her. So he closed his mouth.

This made Hermione extremely happy.

"I told her that when we return to London, we will let her go... I threatened her, telling her not to write those slanderous things for a year, and she had to agree now!"

"Heh, Miss Granger is extremely happy now. Perhaps she has caught a personal reporter for Dumbledore."

"This way, Harry Potter can be praised as a student with good character and scholarship again!"

The compartment door was opened.

It was Malfoy, along with Crabbe and Goyle.

They showed mocking expressions from high above...
