Chapter 1307
"That's right, because Darren almost had an accident this time, they feel they can't keep waiting.
They want to let Darren understand their feelings sooner... oh, don't look at me like that, this is what they said.
Mom invites Tonks at every turn; she wants Tonks to give up because Tonks's job is too dangerous... Mom thinks Darren should find a 'good girl,' someone like Ginny."
Ron's words were met with Ginny's glare again.
"Hmph, don't you think she's right?"
"But, but I don't think you look like a 'good girl'..."
Ron's words clearly angered Ginny.
She glared at Ron, then slammed the door and went out.
"See, I said she doesn't look like a lady."
Ron said, looking at the closed door. Harry really wanted to agree.
But he also felt that was impolite.
So he changed the subject and asked: "Do you know Darren's situation?"
"They say he hasn't woken up yet; I don't know anything more. You know, they aren't willing to tell us more.
If I ask, they just say it's classified. I thought... what about you? You went out with Dumbledore; didn't he tell you more?"
"No, he won't even let us visit Darren, saying we have to wait until he wakes up before we can see him. I can only hope he wakes up quickly."
"Dumbledore's twisted logic..."
"By the way, he said he wants me and Darren to take classes with him this year."
Harry interrupted Ron's words.
Ron gasped.
"Really? What is he going to take you to learn? Is it advanced magic? I knew it, you two are his favorite students!"
"I guess not; perhaps it has to do with the prophecy orb... the crystal ball Voldemort wanted me to get at the Ministry of Magic last year."
"But didn't you smash it?"
"Yes, but Dumbledore heard the prophecy with his own ears; he let me see it... in short, it's that either I or Voldemort must live."
"Hiss!"
Ron gasped hard.
However, he still immediately comforted him: "Don't be afraid, there's Dumbledore and Darren; they are both on your side, and Hermione and I will help you too!"
Harry nodded vigorously.
Actually, he wanted to say that before last night, he was holding onto the idea of giving up on himself.
He wanted Voldemort to kill him, so that he could be reunited with Darren. But now, he wanted to live.
"By the way, didn't you invite Hermione over?"
"I invited her; she'll come today. She said she would secretly go to St. Mungo's once in the morning under the excuse of visiting a patient.
She thinks that if she doesn't bring you, perhaps St. Mungo's will let her in."
Harry smiled awkwardly.
No way, who let his identity be so sensitive right now?
"Don't mention it, St. Mungo's wouldn't let me in at all; as soon as I said I was visiting Darren, they grabbed me."
They forced me to say I was a Death Eater until I told them I was Darren's classmate.
Remus also just came out of the ward and recognized me; only then did they let me go." Hermione's voice appeared at the door.
She was also carrying a trunk.
Then she looked at Harry sternly.
"So, Harry, you already know the news that Darren is still alive?"
"Yes..."
Harry felt a bit guilty.
But Hermione didn't care about that.
She put the trunk in another room.
Then she said righteously: "I originally planned to tell you after school started, but it's very clear you've already received a profound lesson, so..."
Hermione suddenly hugged Harry.
"I forgive you, Harry!"
Harry felt a warm current surge in the bottom of his heart. Everything was back on track, wasn't it?
"Just now when I was at the door, I also eavesdropped for a while... don't look at me like that, my trunk is heavy, and neither of you came out to show a gentlemanly demeanor and help me carry it."
"But you didn't say..."
Ron tried to defend himself.
But Hermione interrupted his words.
She looked at Harry calmly and said: "Harry, believe me, I will also be on your side; no matter if it's for our friendship or for Darren, I won't want you to die!"
Harry's eyes were a bit moist.
He blinked the tears from his eyes hard.
He pretended to be calm and said: "I won't die; I know you are standing behind me. If I die, Voldemort will be even more smug, and he will kill more people!"
