Chapter 130

After breakfast.

Harry was handed a handful of Floo powder by Mrs. Weasley. Since it was his first time using it, he ended up in Knockturn Alley.

Here, he saw Malfoy.

"Don't touch anything, Draco!"

Harry hid inside a black cabinet at Borgin and Burkes, secretly listening to the conversation between the elder and younger Malfoy.

"I thought you came here to buy me something!"

"I did say I would buy you a broomstick..."

Lucius raised his eyelids. Draco was somewhat angry; he remembered the scene in his first year where Harry flew around on a broomstick.

Jealous, he kept grumbling and complaining. Harry almost laughed out loud in triumph. As expected, Malfoy was just jealous of him.

"You've already told me that at least ten times..."

Lucius tapped on the counter, and a hunched-over man appeared before them.

"...I'm here to sell things; the Ministry is starting to conduct strict inspections... It must be that Weasley..."

Harry felt his anger flare up as he listened to Lucius disparage Mr. Weasley. At the same time, he was glad Darren wasn't here.

Otherwise, Darren would definitely have rushed out to argue with Malfoy. And then he would have been silenced by the evil Malfoy.

It was too terrifying.

"What is that?"

Draco Malfoy suddenly pointed at a withered hand and asked.

"That is a Hand of Glory; it is for thieves and robbers..."

"No, no, I hope my son will amount to more than a thief or a robber... Of course, if he doesn't study hard, perhaps that is the only path left for him..."

Lucius said in a slow, measured tone.

"Father, it's just that the professors are too biased... that Hermione Granger, a Muggle-born witch..."

Draco said indignantly, but was interrupted by Lucius.

"Hah, you haven't just been surpassed by a witch from a non-wizarding family; you can't even beat Darren, Darren Potter's grades!"

Hearing this, Harry quickly covered his mouth.

That was only natural; everyone knew how smart Darren and Hermione were. The rest was just a pile of tedious haggling, which gave Harry a headache.

Finally, Lucius and the others finished, and Harry slipped out.

However, he almost got into trouble in the alleys of Knockturn Alley, but fortunately, he ran into Hagrid, and he was able to get out safely.

"Oh my god, I finally found you, Harry! If I hadn't found you, Darren would have gone crazy!"

When Hermione saw Harry, she immediately pulled him along to run ahead. Apparently, Hermione was also there to buy books today.

She had met up with the Weasley family early.

Harry, being pulled along by Hermione, finally understood why she was so anxious. Because there, Harry saw Darren, whose eyes were filled with mist.

"Brother, I almost lost you... I should have held onto you..."

"Little darling Darren, don't say silly things; Floo powder can only be used one person at a time..."

"Oh, my little sweetie, my poor thing, luckily Harry was found, otherwise this child would definitely have cried!"

Mrs. Weasley hugged Darren tightly. Darren revealed a sweet, well-behaved smile.

"Thank you for your comfort, I feel much better now... and Hagrid, thank you for finding my brother..."

"Oh, my Darren, I was just there on business... you're right, otherwise he would have been caught by those people..."

"No, no, no, Darren, Harry is fine, don't worry, I was just speaking hypothetically!"

Hagrid hurriedly defended himself.

Hagrid's giant hand was pinched by Molly, and he quickly changed his tune.

"Alright, alright, Molly... I'll be careful too, I only went there to buy insect repellent... Goodbye, Hogwarts, goodbye!"

Hagrid was startled by Mrs. Weasley's enthusiasm. He felt awkward and quickly ran away.

His retreating figure looked a bit like he was fleeing in panic.

By this time, Harry was already telling Darren and the others about the Malfoy family.

"Hmph, he's scared... The thing I want to do most is find evidence of his crimes!"

Mr. Weasley leaned in and said. He had just heard Harry's account.

Knowing that Lucius had gone to Knockturn Alley to sell things, he said triumphantly.

"Be careful... that family is not to be trifled with!"

Mrs. Weasley nudged him and said worriedly.

"Do you think I can't handle him?"

Mr. Weasley raised his fist, wanting the children to see his muscles.

Then, the next second, he was distracted by the Granger family, who had just walked into Gringotts with them.

"Is this Muggle money?"

He picked up a coin with great interest.

In a short while, Mr. Weasley and Mr. Granger became familiar with each other over Muggle money, and they even decided to have a drink together later.

Then they went down to the underground vaults to withdraw money.

When they reached the Weasley vault, Harry felt extremely awkward. Because there was only one Jin Jin Jin Jialong and a small pile of silver Sickles inside. Harry didn't dare to speak at all.

However, Darren became curious instead.

So he turned to Mr. Weasley and asked: "Sir, did you spend all your salary on buying a car?"

The Weasley family was indeed quite poor.

But Darren estimated that their poverty was because they didn't save money. They spent it as soon as they had it.

Just like in the third year, when Mr. Weasley won five hundred Jin Jin Jin Jialong, the whole family went to Egypt for a vacation.

And Mr. Weasley also bought a car to modify. Perhaps there were other Muggle items too.

In any case, Darren felt that their family wasn't truly poor. Mr. Weasley's salary was definitely not low.

"Oh, yes, and many other little treasures... cough, Molly, you heard wrong, I wasn't talking nonsense to Darren..."

Mr. Weasley said with a chuckle.

However, he winked at Darren. Apparently, he still had many modified items.

"Hmph, hurry up, get the money, we still have to go get money for Harry and Darren!"

Mrs. Weasley clearly felt that Mr. Weasley was corrupting Darren.

Such a well-behaved child; if he were corrupted by her husband, she would feel her conscience ache.

Harry stood by, looking blankly at Darren and the Weasley family.

He had thought Mr. Weasley's salary was too low to support the whole family!

"Alright, children, hurry up... next stop!"

As the cart continued, they finally reached the Potter vault. As soon as the door opened, even Darren couldn't help but hiss.
