Chapter 1588

~5 min read 945 words

He crawled to Darren's side.

He hugged Darren tightly and began to wail loudly.

Harry subconsciously looked at Dumbledore and found that Dumbledore was wearing a bitter smile.

He spread his hands and said helplessly, "So, I said I didn't quite approve of him coming in now; I hadn't even thought about letting him wake up now.

Darren probably thought the same... He didn't even bring him back to the castle."

"But what should we do now?"

Harry asked, conflicted.

"Why don't you go and comfort him, Harry? I think Severus should like you too."

Harry subconsciously felt that was unlikely.

However, since Dumbledore had spoken, he decided to give it a try.

So he walked to Snape's side and said cautiously, "Professor... Headmaster Dumbledore says Darren can still be saved..."

Snape turned his head abruptly.

He looked at Dumbledore almost pleadingly.

"Albus, please, please, save him... I can give anything. What other utility value do I have? Take it, take it all!"

Harry also looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore felt a bit embarrassed.

He shook his head helplessly and said, "If you hadn't come in, Harry and I were just discussing how to save Darren...

Of course, now I think you can let Harry tell you everything...

By the way, I'm going to call Hermione and Ron. I think they would want to know too..."

Dumbledore went out of the office.

Only Harry and Snape were left.

Harry tried his best to smile at Snape.

But he found that Snape was righteously demanding him to tell him immediately.

If it were in the past, Harry would definitely have kept his mouth shut; he would have just wanted to go against Snape.

But now...

Thinking of everything Snape had done.

Harry could only tell everything exactly as it was.

Just as he was about to ask Snape to think of a way.

Hermione and Ron also came in.

They looked a bit disheveled.

But they still endured their grief and listened to Harry tell it again.

Afterward, Luna and Ginny also arrived.

Harry had no choice but to start telling it again.

Later, Fleur and Tonks came too...

When Harry was telling it for the fifth time, he suddenly felt, is Dumbledore a bit of a jerk?

Could he have already known that so many people would come?

And these people couldn't all come at once, so he told him first, letting him explain and recount it to these people over and over again.

But he immediately felt he was overthinking it.

Dumbledore shouldn't be like that, right?

Although he felt he had been tricked, Harry actually wasn't very annoyed at telling the whole story over and over again.

When he told everything over and over, he discovered that almost everything had been done by Darren.

Darren had racked his brains for these things, using every method he could.

But in the end, he chose to die.

Harry didn't even know what Darren was thinking when he faced Voldemort.

But he understood that Darren must have been extremely desperate.

For Darren, his alienation was enough to make Darren desperately want to die.

After finishing his eighth narration, Harry covered his face deeply.

Never before had he felt he had failed Darren so much.

"I hope no one else comes. I think we should think of a way now, instead of being here, listening to Mr. Potter repeat these things over and over!"

Snape said anxiously...

"But we don't know anything yet!"

Kingsley and the others who had just entered said indignantly.

But their words were ignored by Harry.

He had roughly figured out what to do now.

He looked at Snape with eager eyes.

"Pro, Professor, do you have any ideas?"

Although he knew Snape was a good person, he still couldn't face Snape so naturally.

Snape looked at him with disgust and then looked away.

He was silent for a while and said, "There is a way: a contract. If someone makes a contract with Darren, he will be bound.

Even if he wants to die himself, he won't be able to.

And known methods to achieve this include the Life-Sharing Contract, the Master-Servant Contract, and of course, the Marriage Contract!"

A light suddenly flashed in Hermione's eyes.

She asked excitedly, "What does a Marriage Contract mean?"

"It is known that if one party in a Marriage Contract dies, the other will also die; of course, their life force will be shared.

The Weasleys should have made such a contract.

But a Marriage Contract is actually not very secure; by paying a price, it can still be broken.

If Miss Granger thinks she can make him give up the idea of dying just by relying on a Marriage Contract, that is impossible.

The price to break a Marriage Contract is not severe; it only requires him to pay one-tenth of his life. Do you think he wouldn't do it?"

Snape said mockingly.

But Hermione's eyes did not dim.

They were still shining.

She even laughed out loud, "What if, what if there are many people?

Me, Ginny, Tonks, Fleur, Cho Chang, Astoria Greengrass, Luna, Cassandra...

I even think Pansy, Lavender, the Patil sisters, and of course other girls.

If they are willing, they can also make a Marriage Contract with Darren...

I think, he might be able to disregard his life to break ten people's contracts, but he shouldn't be able to do it for everyone else's.

In order not to implicate others' lives, he will definitely be able to endure it; after all, he is so kind.

Once he is willing to live, then what bloodline he has won't be so important, right?"
