Chapter 270: Mr. Weasley scared to the ground!!
Fred's words caught Mrs. Weasley's attention.
She said somewhat embarrassedly: "Darren is of course good-looking, but he is still just a boy.
For us 'aging' women, Gilderoy Lockhart is more attractive."
"A boy? Hmm, Mom, your tone sounds just like those little witches at Hogwarts.
They also say all day 'Darren is still a little boy, I want to wait for him to grow into a man'.
Heavens, it's as if there's no one left at Hogwarts they like, and they need to wait for a little boy to grow up..."
Fred joked affectedly.
It earned him Darren's embarrassed smile, and only then did he helplessly close his mouth.
"Heavens, I finally know why even the fiercest Snape at Hogwarts wouldn't yell at Darren; who would bully such an innocent child?"
"Hmph... realizing this, don't make jokes randomly, Darren is not one of your fox friends!"
Mrs. Weasley said angrily.
Fred and the others helplessly walked towards the garden. Those annoying gnomes would always keep coming back. They had already driven them away many times.
Mrs. Weasley watched their backs, urging them that they must finish before they could come back.
Then she put down the book in her hand, and looked at Darren and Harry with soft eyes, saying: "Children, I think you are sleepy, don't go work with them."
Darren hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, Madam, my brother and I will go together, after all, when Fred and the others were driving, we didn't stop them..."
【Ding, Saint Father Value +50】
【Ding, Saint Father Value +60】
【Ding, Saint Father Value +40】
【Ding...】
Putting the Saint Father Value into his pocket, Darren pulled Harry and hurriedly followed Fred and the others.
Just as Darren and the others were catching gnomes in the garden, Mr. Weasley came back.
As soon as he entered the door, he lay on the chair. Closing his eyes, he looked very exhausted.
"Raided nine houses... Mundungus actually tried to cast a spell on me while I turned around..."
【Mundungus?】
Darren read the name hesitantly, which gave Mr. Weasley a fright.
He looked at Darren suspiciously.
"You, you are?"
"Dad, he is Darren Potter, this is Harry Potter... we picked them up..."
Fred's words were interrupted by Mrs. Weasley.
"Yes, this morning they drove a flying car, flew to Harry's house, and picked up Darren and Harry!"
"Did it fly well? Oh, children, that is wrong... not right."
Mr. Weasley saw Mrs. Weasley glaring, and hurriedly changed his words.
To change the subject, he also remembered the reason he noticed Darren just now.
"Darren, you know Mundungus?"
"I don't know if I know him, but last year in Diagon Alley, I saw a wizard named Mundungus..."
Darren recounted what had happened back then, making Mr. Weasley suddenly realize.
"So Mundungus fell into your hands..."
Oh oh, Molly, I was just sighing, I didn't mean to lose my temper at Darren.
I think he did the right thing, Mundungus is sometimes just asking for a lesson...
Mr. Weasley muttered to Mrs. Weasley about the things Mundungus had done, and Ron grabbed Darren and Harry.
He whispered: "Come, let's go to my room, I'll introduce you, let them talk!"
Life at The Burrow was very pleasant. Especially for Darren.
Here there was the gentle Mrs. Weasley, and also the humorous and witty Mr. Weasley.
Upon learning that Darren had created an antidote that could treat over three hundred types of poison, Mr. Weasley fell to the ground in shock on the spot.
"Heavens, Darren, you are simply a genius, Lily didn't have as much talent as you back then!"
Mr. Weasley believed that this achievement of Darren's could definitely earn him the Order of Merlin.
He pointed to Mrs. Weasley's Lockhart book and whispered to Darren that even someone like Lockhart could obtain a Third Class Order of Merlin.
He highly suspected Lockhart had slept with those female judges.
However, after saying this, he was tapped on the head several times by Mrs. Weasley with chopsticks.
"Don't talk nonsense to Darren, he is still an innocent baby!"
Hmm, except for Mrs. Weasley's syrupy address, Darren felt everything was quite good.
Especially there was also the Weasley family's little daughter, Ginny. Ginny was undoubtedly close to the appearance in the original work.
She was worthy of the title of the school beauty.
She would blush every time she saw Harry and Darren, but she could talk a few more words with Darren.
She also told Mrs. Weasley that Darren had once given her a candy. 'Oh, we were once so close!'
Ron exclaimed in surprise.
He actually never knew of Darren's existence.
"Alright Ron, stop talking nonsense, little Darren must have been shy back then, you can't expect everyone to be like Fred and George!"
Mrs. Weasley poured all the sausages in the pot into Darren's plate.
"Baby, eat up! After eating, we'll go to Diagon Alley to buy books today, the letters were sent this morning."
Mrs. Weasley took out several thick envelopes and handed them to them one by one.
"Hurry up and open them!"
For a time, there was only the sound of everyone tearing open envelopes.
Besides the school notification, there were the books to buy. Most of them were Gilderoy Lockhart's books.
Darren curled his lips; he wasn't sure if he should just not buy the books, which would save a sum of book money.
But thinking about it, it wouldn't be right; if people knew the Savior's brother was so frugal, someone might suspect Harry didn't give him money to spend.
It didn't fit his persona.
Forget it, buy them and treat them as storybooks, and according to the original story, these are real stories inside.
Lockhart just took them as his own.
Speaking of which, does Dumbledore really not know Lockhart is a fraud? And Lockhart, a straw bag, really dares to come to Hogwarts to teach? Is he not afraid of being exposed?
These two people are really one dares to come, and one dares to hire.
