Chapter 1377: Spreading rumors!!

"Many people saw it that day, and now they are spreading rumors, saying that Darren was captured by Death Eaters and only returned after experiencing life and death."

It was Hermione's voice.

"His situation really looked like that, who could have imagined, he was just drunk..."

It was Ron's voice.

"I heard he even ran to Dumbledore's office; could it be that he forgot after getting drunk?"

Harry's voice.

Darren finally opened his eyes.

He rubbed his forehead and said: "No, it's because I obtained Professor Slughorn's memory. In order to get the memory, Professor Slughorn, Hagrid, and I drank until we were out of our minds."

"Luckily I still remembered to go to Dumbledore's; it's good that I didn't delay things!"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

Darren's words made Harry and the others feel extremely uncomfortable.

It was all because they hadn't thought of a good way, forcing Darren to keep drinking with Hagrid and the others until he was in that state, all while still having to remember to bring the memory back.

"It's okay, I drink a little sometimes too, I just don't have a good tolerance for alcohol. Let's not talk about me, by the way, brother, why did you also end up in the infirmary?"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

Harry felt a bit embarrassed.

Hermione helped him speak.

"Harry was knocked off his broom by McLaggen." She covered her mouth and laughed.

At this moment, Ginny came in from outside.

Her eyes also held a smile.

"At least we won in the end. McLaggen was taught a lesson by us. Let's not talk about that. Darren, are you okay now?"

Ginny sat down beside him.

She looked at him with concern.

A pair of eyes gradually became moist.

Her face also quietly turned red.

Darren wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

He could only ask with concern: "Ginny, are you not feeling well? Why is your face so red?"

Ginny shook her head quickly.

Under Ron's disgusted gaze, she lowered her head and kissed Darren on the forehead.

"I'm fine, but you, when will you ever stop making people worry?"

"I'm sorry..."

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【...】

He said softly.

Yet it made the eyes of everyone present turn red.

The next day.

Darren was discharged from the hospital along with Harry and Ron.

Madam Pomfrey teased them, saying they were worthy of being three brothers, being discharged on the same day.

When they left the hospital, Darren noticed that many people's gazes toward him had become cautious again, as if they were very afraid of hurting his fragile nerves.

"They previously rumored that you were captured by Death Eaters..."

"Later, I don't know who it was, but it was rumored again that you were captured by the Dark Lord... They even rumored that you had a fight with the Dark Lord."

"The Dark Lord killed several Muggles to threaten you. Although you struggled and returned in the end, your soul has already suffered tremendous torture."

Harry and the others were dumbfounded by these people's rumors.

Darren, however, accepted it well.

"It's fine, everyone has no bad intentions, they are all people who care about me. Although their gazes are strange, I don't blame them!"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【...】

After all, he could gain Saintly Father Value just by saying a few random words.

There were even people praising him for growing up; this was indeed a way of being pampered.

"Darren!"

Luna's voice.

Darren turned his head.

He saw Luna holding a roll of parchment in her hand.

"Here, this is for you and Harry!"

She said with a smile.

Harry and Ron and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Harry opened the parchment while praising her: "Luckily, Luna, you aren't like those people who suspect Darren was captured by Voldemort."

"Hmm, of course I wouldn't suspect that. After all, I met Darren outside the castle that day, and I smelled the scent of alcohol on him; it was a bit like Scotch..."

"I wanted to pull him over later, but the students who rushed out blocked my path to find him."

She skipped away.

Ron watched her back with a smile.

"I've discovered that this girl is actually quite impressive; she can tell the type of alcohol on Darren just by smelling it."

Harry and Hermione looked at him simultaneously.

Their gazes were filled with something indescribable.

But it was fine.

Harry looked at Hermione with a guilty conscience, as if he were the one having an affair, and he hurriedly changed the subject:

"Darren, this is Dumbledore's invitation. It's just right for tonight; it seems he should let us see those memories this time!"

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Harry and Darren were both sitting in front of Dumbledore on time.

Dumbledore looked at Darren and revealed a helpless smile.

"Oh, Darren, you really frightened many professors and students last time... They were truly too worried about you..." ===== CHAPTER 1379 =====
