Chapter 1489

~4 min read 784 words

Darren spoke in a tone full of agitation. But Harry's expression grew increasingly angry.

He interrupted Darren.

"Mutual destruction? You're going to wait until your magic is stronger, and then you're going to destroy yourself along with him? And what about me?

Darren Potter, you really have courage. You're planning to be a hero, and if you survive, you're prepared to take him down with you.

You just like people calling you a hero, don't you? Are you an idiot? What good does this do you?"

Harry roared in anger.

Hermione tried to stop Harry, not wanting him to say these things.

But in truth, she also wanted to say exactly that.

Darren looked a bit dazed, as if stunned by his scolding.

But he wasn't angry; he just smiled gently and said, "Brother… I don't want to be a hero. I just want you to be a little more comfortable, and I want everyone's lives to get back on track…

Those Muggle-born children, the Ministry of Magic is still studying them… many of them have died…

Brother, I can't be that selfish.

If I can't do it, then I certainly won't go and destroy myself along with him.

But perhaps I can do it, right?

I'm trying every possible way, for the sake of increasing my magic, for the sake of returning to peace. I don't want to be a hero; I just want everyone to smile again!"

Harry's throat tightened.

He knew, of course, that Darren didn't care about fame or fortune.

He was just kind.

He just thought too much of others.

But Darren was his younger brother, and he also wanted his brother to be safe and sound.

"Fool… what can you do? I heard from Griphook that your magic has even been sealed by Vol… by You-Know-Who!"

Darren forced a laugh.

He changed the subject, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"By the way, Brother, I brought you some food…"

"Enough, Darren. First tell me, if you have no magic, how did you get here?"

Harry questioned him.

Darren revealed a guilty expression. He seemed to want to evade the question.

But Hermione held him back too.

"Don't lie, Darren, you can't lie!"

Darren's face turned a bit pale.

He said softly, "I went into Snape's office and got his magic source from there…

It can only last for a while; once it's used up, I won't be able to use magic anymore."

Harry and Hermione's hearts tightened.

Hermione asked with red eyes, "I'm asking you, how did you sneak in?

You've broken into his office… that is, the Headmaster's office, once before. How could he possibly give you a chance?"

Darren was silent for a long while.

Only then, under the gaze of Harry and the others, did he say in a low voice, "I went to curry favor with them, and they let their guard down."

"How did you curry favor?"

"I made a meal for the Carrow siblings…"

Darren said softly.

It sent them to the infirmary.

After all, since the little master had made it, they had to eat it. Once they finished, they were vomiting and having diarrhea, and they ended up in the infirmary.

Darren didn't say any of this.

Looking at Harry and Hermione's distrustful gazes, he could only continue, "I also made clothes for them…"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

That was after the Carrow siblings found out he was Voldemort's bloodline and came over to apologize to him.

He made them a set of clothes and forced them to put them on.

Those clothes couldn't do much else, but they made anyone who wore them have bad luck. Harry and Hermione looked at him with red eyes.

Hermione coaxed him softly, "What else did they make you do? Tell us everything."

Darren could only honestly say, "I also cleaned their rooms, washed their hands, gave them…"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

Bang!

Hermione shattered the cup beside her. Her eyes were already bloodshot.

Darren tried to comfort her.

"It's fine, it's all trivial, and I didn't even clean for them properly…"

After all, Snape was there at the time, so of course he had to pretend to annoy Snape, saying he would rather clean for the Carrow siblings than eat a single bite of his food.

And then, as soon as he picked up the rag, the Carrow siblings took the house away.

They were terrified that Voldemort would find out he was cleaning for them.

It really was a laughable matter…
