Chapter 1249

~6 min read 1,070 words

For nearly five years, no matter what, whenever he and Darren thought of their father, they would feel he was a hero, a good man who commanded respect.

But now, he didn't even dare to tell Darren about this. The Easter holidays had ended.

For all three days of Easter, Harry had been immersed in a foul mood.

He let others believe his bad mood was caused by Darren's poisoning and the upcoming exams.

But today, Darren quietly saw through him.

"My brother, you might be able to fool others, but you can't fool me.

Although you are a bit worried about my poisoning, you are thinking more about something else. I even heard you muttering something about Dad being a bad person a couple of days ago.

Hmm, I think your bad mood must have something to do with Mom and Dad, can you tell me?"

Darren wore a curious expression.

Harry struggled for a long time, but still refused him.

"No, I can't tell you this news because I haven't verified it either. If only I could see Sirius..."

Harry blurted out.

Then he saw Darren's thoughtful expression.

"If you want to see Sirius, it's not like there's no chance."

He said, pondering.

Harry whipped his head around to look at him.

"Don't you go having wild ideas, don't do anything dangerous!"

Darren laughed.

"Indeed, I also think my plan is a bit reckless. I need to discuss it with Fred and George!"

Darren walked off excitedly.

Harry tried to pull him back but couldn't stop him.

He thought in horror about what terrifying decisions Darren might make after consulting with Fred and George.

Fortunately.

For two days in a row, Harry noticed that Darren didn't mention the matter again.

He assumed Fred and George had talked Darren out of the idea. He formed a new impression of Fred and George.

He felt they were actually quite reliable.

Before he could thank them, he suddenly noticed that career advice notices had been posted on the school bulletin board.

And there were many magical pamphlets, even flyers.

This made him forget about thanking them; he suddenly understood how important the upcoming exams would be.

Of course, Professor McGonagall's career consultation at two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon was also very important; they had to figure out what jobs they wanted to do in the future before today.

This was a very important matter.

Harry could only head to the library with Hermione and Darren to look up potential future jobs.

"Darren, if you want to stay at the school, you must get an 'Exceeds Expectations' or higher in every Ordinary Wizarding Level exam, though I imagine these shouldn't be anything for you."

Hermione took out a form, looked at the requirements on it, and smiled happily.

"'Exceeds Expectations' isn't anything? Fine, for Darren, he can get an 'Outstanding' in every one of his courses.

As long as he wants to, he can choose any of the professions here. But to stay at the school, he still needs the Headmaster's approval.

I feel that Umbridge wouldn't agree right now, but perhaps by the time Darren graduates in two years, Dumbledore will have long since returned!"

Ron analyzed earnestly.

They all knew that Darren actually really wanted to stay at the school. Because, like Harry, he regarded Hogwarts as his home.

And they wouldn't feel at ease letting Darren do other work; staying at the school was both safe and free of danger for Darren.

But Darren hesitated.

He looked at the form and said softly: "I don't know if I should stay at the school. If Voldemort isn't eliminated, I can't teach at the school with peace of mind.

I want to be an Auror, I want to fight on the front lines.

Brother, Hermione, and Ron, you only live once, so I hope I die in battle, not in the rear.

Moody is right, I should stand up!"

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding...】

"Little Darren has grown up!"

"But if Mom knew about this decision, she would definitely be very worried."

It was Fred and George. They had come over.

They patted Darren on the shoulder, then looked at Harry and the others' horrified expressions and said with a smile: "Don't be so worried. I think that by the time Darren graduates, maybe You-Know-Who will have already been killed by Dumbledore, or perhaps Harry will have finished off You-Know-Who. Darren will then realize how wonderful it is to stay at the school, unless he encounters students like the two of us!"

Fred and George laughed out loud. This made Harry and the others relax as well. That was true.

If Voldemort never died, Darren might encounter danger even while teaching at Hogwarts.

And if Voldemort died, then maybe Darren would be fine even as an Auror?

They thought this way. Their expressions relaxed.

And just as they were relaxing, they heard Fred and George begin to say in low voices: "We discussed with Darren before how to let Harry see Sirius..."

Hermione shrieked.

"You want to see..."

Her mouth was covered by Darren.

"Oh, Hermione, if your voice is too loud, others will know."

Hermione felt a bit embarrassed being pulled into his embrace.

Her face turned bright red. At the same time, she closed her mouth.

"Currently, only Umbridge's fireplace isn't monitored.

We discussed it with Darren: as long as we lure Umbridge out of her office, then let Harry go in, that part is actually very simple.

Let Darren call Umbridge out, then cast a Memory Charm on her, and we can make her..."

"No!"

Harry flatly rejected this suggestion. Fred and George nodded.

"This was Darren's own idea, which we already vetoed because we don't intend for him to be expelled, so there is only one other way.

We will do this; we have been stockpiling our weapons recently...

We have already finished the ones you ordered; we originally intended to throw them into Umbridge's office.

But since we can create some time for Harry, then why not do it?

How much time can we buy for Harry? Twenty minutes?

Darren, you stand guard at the door of Umbridge's office; there is no decree that says students cannot stand in front of the Headmaster's office.

After that, I think everything can be done, don't you?"
