Chapter 1474
"It's fine, I won't die."
Hermione told Harry by mouthing the words.
Goblin!
Harry recalled the name Griphook; he was the goblin who had taken him inside Gringotts the very first time he went there.
"So, you have been on the run for a long time?"
A mellow male voice said.
Harry felt this voice was somewhat familiar.
Then he heard those goblins say:
"That's right, we've been on the run for six or seven weeks now. What about you, Ted? What was the reason you escaped?"
"I am Muggle-born... My wife is pure-blood, I think they shouldn't do anything to her."
Harry remembered.
This man named Ted should be Tonks's father.
Ted Tonks.
Ted continued: "I met Dean here a few days ago; Dean also couldn't clearly state his own origin, right?"
"Yes, my dad should be, but he ran off after I was born, and I can't find him..."
Harry and the others could tell.
This was their classmate, Dean Thomas.
"Then what about you? Why did you goblins run?"
"I am not a house-elf, I will not serve wizards!
Now Gringotts is actually under the jurisdiction of wizards, this is impossible, I cannot call a wizard master!"
Griphook said angrily.
Ted and the others laughed out loud.
"By the way, before I left, I also got a piece of news. You know that Darren Potter, right?"
Griphook asked suddenly.
Harry and the others sat up straight immediately.
They had not expected to hear news of Darren here as well.
Perhaps this was the first time during their flight that they had learned of Darren's specific situation?
It wasn't just them; Ted, Dean, and the others were also very curious.
"Of course, he was the heartthrob of our school. Although he was in Slytherin, many Gryffindor girls liked him...
I have to say, even as a guy, I quite admire him. What happened to him?"
"Yeah, ever since the Daily Prophet said he was taken to the school, it hasn't mentioned him again.
Sometimes I even wonder, is he really still alive?"
Ted also asked.
It was clear that their appetites had been whetted.
Griphook said mockingly: "Of course, news about him naturally couldn't be written in the Daily Prophet, because if it were written, there would be many more members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Would you believe that during the time he was first taken to the school, he starved himself for a whole week.
When he was brought out by Severus Snape, he was almost unconscious. It is said that he wanted to starve himself to death so that Harry Potter wouldn't come to save him."
Harry and the others felt a chill run through their bodies...
