Chapter 1493

Darren's voice was very soft. And a bit ethereal.

Hermione felt a pang of heartache.

At that time, she hadn't been by Darren's side.

She imagined him going alone to see that once-lost home, that home without a single trace of him.

Did Darren cry there?

He must have cried; even now, they could see his somewhat red-rimmed eyes.

But Darren didn't give them a chance to ask.

He continued, "Afterward, I stayed there for a long time… then, I felt a magical fluctuation, so I immediately Apparated in.

Then I saw the scene where my brother's wand was bitten and he was also entangled. At that time, I thought he was dead, and I almost killed that snake… fortunately, my brother is still alive…"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

Harry was just about to say that he was still alive and to tell Darren not to worry.

But panic instantly engulfed him.

He had no wand… his wand had been bitten and broken!

He hadn't even brought that wand back…

"I brought it back…"

Darren seemed to know, and he took out Harry's wand.

That wand was completely broken, and it had almost become just wood.

Such a wand…

"Darren, can it still be repaired?"

Harry looked at Darren with hope.

Darren shook his head gently.

"Sorry, Brother…"

Harry thought of Ollivander, who had been captured by Voldemort, and Gregorovitch, who had disappeared without a trace.

He thought he couldn't possibly get another wand.

"Don't worry, Brother, just use mine."

Darren tapped on a cup.

A bright light flashed over the cup.

Then he handed the wand to Harry.

"You use mine for now!"

"Then what about you?"

Harry asked worriedly.

Darren smiled and said, "When I go back this time, they will definitely know I snuck out, and they will definitely try to confiscate my wand.

By then, they might even want to snap my wand…"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

Harry and the others' faces turned pale.

They thought again of the scene Darren would face when he went back.

They even wanted Darren to be a little more selfish.

Not to care about those people's lives.

But they also understood that if it were them, they wouldn't abandon those people and escape either.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. I came here this time not only to tell you these things, but also something else. This is the Sorting Hat…"

Darren took a Sorting Hat out from his bosom.

Harry and the others were stunned.

"Wasn't it sent to the vault by Snape?"

"That's right, it was supposed to be sent away by him.

But at the time, Ginny copied one, and Snape didn't notice, so they were all sent over…

I was worried those goblins would expose it, but not one of them did."

Harry laughed.

"They hate serving wizards the most, especially after Vol… You-Know-Who wanted them to call him Master, they became taciturn."

Darren handed over the Sorting Hat.

"Here you go, the sword is inside the Sorting Hat; when you need to use it, just pull it out directly."

Harry hurriedly put it away.

Darren brought up the second matter.

"The second thing is, Phineas said Ron left. Can you tell me why?"

Speaking of Ron, Harry and Hermione were both full of discomfort.

They indignantly recounted Ron's behavior.

Darren sighed.

"Forget it, if he can't continue, then so be it. I'm also very worried he might get into trouble… and I'm also worried about Mrs. Weasley's expression.

Also, Hermione, are you leaving? If you are leaving…"

"No, I won't leave. From the day I promised you, I won't leave!"

Hermione said firmly.

Darren's gaze rested on Hermione's face.

Hermione's face turned red.

She lowered her head, feeling a little shy.

Harry knew they wanted to whisper to each other.

He really didn't want to interrupt them.

But at a time like this, time was always precious.

He forced a smile and asked, "Darren, do you have any plans for the Horcruxes?"

Darren shook his head.

"I don't have many clues yet…

If you have any clues, you can contact me through Phineas. If I can get out, I will find a way to do so."

Harry could only nod dejectedly.

Then his scar suddenly began to ache.

He saw himself appearing in Bathilda's room.

Hearing Nagini report that Harry had run away again.

He also looked down at the photo that had fallen on the floor in Bathilda's house.

On it was that blond boy.

That boy who had stolen the wand.

The vision disappeared.

Harry took out from his pocket the photo he had stolen from Bathilda's room.

"Darren, do you know who this is?"

Harry didn't have much hope.

But Darren nodded gently, looking a bit guilty.

However, he still said softly, "I know, he is Gellert Grindelwald… Headmaster Dumbledore's friend and, same-sex lover…"

"What?"

"Impossible!"

Harry and Hermione both looked at Darren in shock.

"Darren, you haven't been misled by Rita Skeeter, have you?" ===== CHAPTER 1495 =====
