Chapter 1315

Harry knew this was the Disillusionment Charm.

He was just shocked that Darren would actually use magic during the summer holidays; he would be...

"Oh, brother, last year, Headmaster Dumbledore removed the restrictions on my use of magic during the summer. Don't worry, I'll be back in a flash!"

"No, I'm going too!"

Harry said hurriedly. He took out his Invisibility Cloak. He was just about to put it on and leave.

But Hermione and Ron grabbed them both at the same time.

"Take us with you!"

Harry and Darren had no choice.

So Darren could only cast the Disillusionment Charm on Hermione as well. They rushed together in the direction Malfoy had left. As expected.

They followed him to Knockturn Alley.

Then they saw Malfoy inside Borgin and Burkes.

"Too bad, there's no way to hear them talking... Huh!"

Darren sighed softly.

However, he immediately pretended that he had only just noticed the Extendable Ears in Ron's arms.

"You still have this thing?"

Ron also just remembered it.

He said proudly: "I was planning to put it away, but I just mixed it out. They brought the Extendable Ears along."

They happened to hear Malfoy say: "Is that thing fixed yet?"

"Not yet... but if you could bring it to my shop..."

"That's none of your business, you just fix it well... If you're unwilling, I think my friend Fenrir Greyback will make you understand, and of course, this too..."

Malfoy suddenly leaned close to Borgin to let him see something. Harry and the others didn't see it, and Malfoy pulled it back. Darren, however, did see it.

It was the Dark Mark.

But he pretended he hadn't noticed.

"Don't tell anyone, you hear me, including my mother!"

Malfoy finally said coldly.

Then he walked out of Knockturn Alley. Harry and the others looked at each other.

But to avoid being nagged by Mrs. Weasley, they hurried back to the shop as well.

Harry and Ron handled Mrs. Weasley.

They told Mrs. Weasley that they had been in the back of the shop the whole time, and that Mrs. Weasley just hadn't looked carefully enough.

They didn't let Darren go over. Because Darren couldn't lie.

If Darren were sent to handle Mrs. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley might discover he was lying at a single glance.

However, she might worry about Darren being upset and pretend she hadn't noticed. But she would definitely lecture Ron.

She would think Ron had led Darren astray.

She would also be heartbroken while disciplining Ron.

To avoid this step, they still thought it was enough for Darren to just stand there and smile.

Sure enough. They passed the test.

Mrs. Weasley didn't suspect anything.

But perhaps because of the panic of not being able to find them just now, Mrs. Weasley took them away early.

That evening.

Mrs. Weasley prepared a large table of delicious food.

She also invited Lupin and the others to attend Harry and Darren's sixteenth birthday party, which they had wanted to hold for a long time.

But because of Darren's situation, no one had been in the mood. Now that Darren had finally returned, the party was extremely lively.

At the party, Sirius even played with a spinning firework together with Fred and the others.

Before the party ended, Fred and George gave Darren several anti-jinx gloves.

As long as you stare at someone's face, you can rebound their jinxes.

"Although it feels like you won't need them, don't let your guard down. You're in Slytherin; it will definitely be more dangerous than Gryffindor!"

"That's right, last year I wrote to Dumbledore, wanting to stuff you into Gryffindor, but Dumbledore thought Snape would take care of you.

I don't think he took good care of you at all; he always abuses his power for personal vendettas, I don't trust him!"

Sirius said angrily.

"I also didn't expect a silly dog to know how important my care is!"

Snape curled his lips.

He finished eating, stood up, wiped his mouth, and said: "Potter, I advise you, since you just came back from St. Mungo's, don't do things that involve staying up late.

If I find dark circles under your eyes again, then I will send you to the school infirmary!"

Darren showed a look of embarrassment... in fact, he was a bit desperate.

Clearly, last year, because Dumbledore's control over the school wasn't good, Snape let him stay up late.

This year, that shouldn't happen.

After all, Dumbledore was back. And he came back unscathed.

He didn't come back with a charred hand like in the original work.

Darren specifically asked Harry, pretending to be worried about Dumbledore's safety. Harry told him that Dumbledore was much healthier and safer than a young man like him.

He just needed to take care of himself. He didn't mention the charred hand at all. Obviously.

Dumbledore didn't touch Voldemort's Horcrux with his own hands this time. He knew that Dumbledore couldn't bear to.

He just didn't know how Dumbledore would arrange things for Harry. Darren wondered curiously.

Of course, on the surface, looking at Snape's face, he still nodded honestly.

He said obediently: "I've been much better this year. Last night was just too exciting, and with bro... I was reading by myself, cough, reading too late. I'll be careful in the future."

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father Value +100】

【Ding...】

His words, besides making the expressions of Snape and the others a bit better.

The rest was Mrs. Weasley's glare at Ron: "Darren just came back, and you guys kept him up late. He'll get sick...

Oh, Darren, you don't think that just because you covered for them, we wouldn't know that they were the ones keeping you talking?

Everyone knows your acting skills. Last year, your performance with Severus really made everyone decide never to let you perform those things again.

Child, you can't lie at all!"

Mrs. Weasley said with a helpless smile. The others nodded vigorously.

Only Ron and the others shouted loudly: "What? It's a lie, how could it be a lie? Did Darren really not fight with Snape?"

"It's Professor Snape!

Of course Darren didn't fight with Professor Snape. They were acting. Dumbledore was right by Darren's side... he had to keep giving Darren cues.

Heavens, Darren even said he wanted to be an Auror. He can't lie, maybe that won't work?

If you ask me, he should just stay at Hogwarts. A child like him is suited to stay at Hogwarts!"
