Chapter 1491

Of course.

In front of Harry and Hermione, he naturally wouldn't say that.

He pretended to be very earnest as he told them the truth.

"I was just too sleepy, I fell asleep… it wasn't from exhaustion…"

Harry and Hermione revealed expressions of understanding.

They could barely say anything more.

They only knew that Darren had suffered enough torture there.

"Don't think so much, come and eat something quickly. I looked for these for a long time and finally managed to get them for you…

Phineas said you weren't eating enough or dressing warmly enough outside, so I packed a lot of things from the dormitory.

Don't worry about being discovered… these are all my own, they won't know."

Darren took out some potions and a lot of food again.

Harry and the others' eyes grew redder and redder.

This was inevitable.

These were clearly things Darren had tried his best to get; he must have been preparing for this day for a long time, right?

He seemed to have returned to school, but in reality, he was even more haggard.

"Darren, you won't leave, will you?"

Hermione asked subconsciously.

Darren's face turned pale.

He opened his mouth and said, "I still have to leave… Ginny and the others are all there, and they, they threatened me.

If I ran away, they would kill…"

"I can't run… don't worry, I have food and drink at Hogwarts, I'm free and at ease…"

Every word Darren said was the truth.

But not one of them believed him.

They only felt that Darren must have suffered endless torture.

They couldn't even bear to press Darren further about his experiences at school; they understood that it must have been inhumane suffering.

"Don't worry about me, eat quickly!"

Darren hurriedly tried to stuff the sandwiches and beef patties he had brought onto the table into Harry and the others' hands.

Harry and the others tried to stuff one back to Darren.

Darren subconsciously revealed an expression of nausea.

He had really been too disgusted by these things lately; he was sick of eating them.

He tried hard to smile and said, "I won't eat… I'm not hungry."

But his condition clearly made Harry and Hermione misunderstand even more.

As they gnawed on the somewhat cold beef patties, they wondered if Darren had developed anorexia.

After all, although those people would let Darren eat, they were forcing him to eat it.

It would be strange if they had any good behavior.

Their eyes turned red again.

Darren could only try to stop them from continuing to speculate.

It was hard enough to come see them once; there was no need to fleece the sheep this badly.

So he truly changed the subject.

"Why did you encounter that snake today?"

Darren asked.

Harry hurriedly said:

"After we understood what you meant, we went to Godric's Hollow, originally intending to see if Phineas was really reliable.

Then I went to see my parents' tombstone, and then Bathilda came. She took us to her house and told me to go upstairs… who knew she was actually that snake…

It was terrifying. Bathilda must have died a long time ago. I wonder if that snake is dead yet?"

"No."

Darren said softly.

"I wasn't in a hurry to kill it.

I think that if You-Know-Who knows he has lost a Horcrux,

he will definitely make another one, and by then we won't know at all what he will use to make it."

Hermione nodded in approval.

Harry had no objections either.

What Darren said was already very clear.

"And you? How did you find us?"

Hermione continued to ask.

Darren said gently, "I found out your location from Phineas, so I went to pack some things…

Then I took the opportunity to sneak into his office. The portraits all like me; as long as Snape doesn't ask, they won't say anything…"

Harry and Hermione's hearts trembled.

If he doesn't ask, they won't say.

But if Darren goes back, Snape will definitely know, and he will ask those portraits.

By then, Darren will definitely be punished.

What awaits Darren might be death…

"Darren, can you…"

Hermione wanted to ask him if he could not go back.

Darren immediately shook his head and smiled, "I can't. Everyone is there; if I leave, they will all die. I couldn't accept the fact that I caused so many people to die…

Besides, this magic source can't accept much of my magic. After I Apparated over and saved Harry, it was almost used up…

Without magic, I have no way to block the tracking magic on me.

By then, if you take me with you, you'll be like carrying a signal tracker. I can't harm you…

Also, I still have to find a way to undo the magic. His seal isn't that easy to break; I must think of a way at school.

I already have a clue… don't worry, I won't die. I feel he won't kill me.

Even if he wants to kill me, he will kill me after catching my brother, so as long as you don't get caught, I'll be fine…"
