Chapter 1301

~4 min read 691 words

"Yes, yes, hiding all the time isn't a solution... You-Know-Who does fear Dumbledore the most... there are many powerful wizards there... Darren Potter is also very powerful, he..."

And at this moment, Dumbledore came out.

He looked at Slughorn and said: "Horace, I'm about to take Harry away; it's so late, this child needs to rest..."

"You're leaving just like that?"

Slughorn blurted out. Dumbledore laughed.

"It's clear that the outcome is decided... then we won't intrude any further."

Dumbledore pulled Harry and made a move to leave.

Slughorn suddenly grabbed them.

"I'll do it, I can do it; Dumbledore, you win. If Darren Potter isn't as excellent as you say, I will definitely go back on my word, definitely!"

Dumbledore laughed heartily.

"Rest assured! We'll see you on September 1st!"

Dumbledore pulled Harry out.

When they were far away, Harry suddenly asked: "Why did you have to use Darren to lure him? You, you know Darren has already..."

He couldn't continue. Tears filled his eyes.

He couldn't go on.

Dumbledore looked at him for a long while, then said softly: "Harry, I've said it before, you need to change that temper of yours, and besides, everything we said was the truth.

Darren has been found; he is at St. Mungo's. Although his injuries are very serious, fortunately, he returned after being missing for over a month.

This happened on the very day I sent you the letter. If you had asked me one more question, I might have told you that he is still alive!"

When Harry arrived at The Burrow, he felt as if he had been reborn; a big smile appeared on his face.

The grief that had lingered for over a month suddenly vanished. He lifted Lezi up and gave it a hard kiss on the face.

Then he said with a bit of disdain: "You hurry up and eat something, otherwise if Darren finds out I let you get thin, he'll definitely be sad!"

Dumbledore also laughed.

However, just as Harry was about to step into The Burrow, he stopped Harry again.

"Harry, I must inform you of a few things.

First, about Darren; in the future, I hope you can listen to him more. You know that everything he does is only for your own good."

Harry nodded vigorously.

"Then, the second matter, about the prophecy orb; I think you should share it with Ron and Hermione.

Such an important matter shouldn't be hidden; it will hurt their feelings. They have always been very worried about you!"

"I know."

Harry said in a low voice. But he also felt a bit of resentment.

Darren wasn't dead, but no one told him. They were all keeping it from him, watching him grieve every day.

"Hmm, I think it's more because they also wanted to teach you a lesson; after all, Darren protected you too well.

And I think Remus tried to explain to you several times, but you wouldn't listen at all; they thought you already knew... after all, it was normal for you to be in a bad mood when Darren went missing."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Next is the third matter; I hope that after school starts, you can follow Darren to my office to study."

"I don't have to follow Snape to study anymore?

This means I don't have to attend his classes this year, that's great; my grades probably wouldn't allow me to choose his Potions class."

Dumbledore corrected him sternly.

"It's Professor Snape, and besides, the grades will be in your hands tomorrow; we'll talk about it then."

Harry nodded.

"Finally, you living here means that Molly and the others' letters, as well as the Floo Network, will be monitored; this place has received the tightest protection the Ministry of Magic can provide.

This also means they have many inconveniences, so while you are here, don't do anything risky; it will cause them to be blamed.

Also, you cannot visit Darren for the time being."

"Why? On what grounds? Darren is my brother!"

Harry shouted indignantly.

He could agree to everything else, but he couldn't agree to not seeing Darren!
