Chapter 271

~6 min read 1,079 words

Harry was handed a handful of Floo powder by Mrs. Weasley. Because it was his first time using it, he ended up in Knockturn Alley.

Here he saw Malfoy.

"Don't touch anything, Draco!"

Harry hid in the black cabinet at Borgin and Burkes, secretly listening to the conversation between the elder and younger Malfoy.

"I thought you came over to buy me something!"

"I did say I would buy you a broom..."

Lucius raised his eyelids, Draco was a bit angry, he remembered the scene of Harry flying around on a broom in his first year.

Jealous, he kept complaining. Harry almost laughed out loud in triumph. Sure enough, Malfoy was just jealous of him.

"You've already told me at least ten times..."

Lucius knocked on the counter, and a hunched-over man appeared before them.

"... I came to sell things, the Ministry is starting to check strictly... it must be that Weasley..."

Harry listened to Lucius's slander of Mr. Weasley, and was burning with anger. At the same time, he was glad Darren wasn't here.

Otherwise, Darren would definitely have rushed out to quarrel with Malfoy. And then he would be killed by the evil Malfoy to silence him.

Too terrifying.

"What is that?"

Draco Malfoy suddenly pointed to a withered hand and asked.

"That is the Hand of Glory, it is for thieves and robbers..."

"No, no, no, I hope my son has more prospects than thieves and robbers... of course, if he doesn't study hard, perhaps that is the only path..."

Lucius said slowly.

"Dad, it's all because the professors are too biased... that Hermione Granger, a Muggle-born witch..."

Draco said angrily, but was interrupted by Lucius.

"Heh, you are not only surpassed by a witch from a non-wizarding family, you can't even compare to Darren, Darren Potter's grades!"

Harry hurriedly covered his mouth when he heard this.

That was of course, Darren and Hermione's intelligence was something everyone knew. The rest was a pile of tedious haggling, which gave Harry a headache.

Finally, Lucius and the others finished, and only then did Harry slip out.

However, he almost got into trouble in the alley of Knockturn Alley, but fortunately he met Hagrid, and only then did he come out safely.

"Heavens, finally found you, Harry, if I couldn't find you again, Darren would have gone crazy!"

Hermione saw Harry and hurriedly pulled him to run forward. Clearly, Hermione was also here to buy books together today.

She had met the Weasley family early.

Harry, who was pulled to the front by Hermione, finally knew why she was so anxious. Because there, Harry saw Darren with misty eyes.

"Brother, I almost lost you... I should have held onto you..."

【Ding...】

"Little Darren baby, don't say silly things, Floo powder can only be used one person at a time...

Oh, my little darling, little pitiful one, fortunately Harry was found, otherwise this child would definitely have cried!"

Mrs. Weasley hugged Darren tightly. Darren showed an obedient smile.

"Thank you for your comfort, I feel much better now... and Hagrid, thank you for finding brother..."

"Oh, my Darren, I was doing business there... you are right, otherwise he would have been caught by those people...

No, no, no, Darren, Harry is fine, don't worry, I was just assuming!"

Hagrid hurriedly defended himself.

Hagrid's giant hand was pinched by Molly, and he hurriedly changed his words.

"Alright, alright, Molly... I will also pay attention to safety, I was just going there to buy insect repellent... Goodbye, see you at Hogwarts!"

Hagrid was startled by Mrs. Weasley's enthusiasm. He was a bit embarrassed and hurriedly ran away.

His back looked a bit like he was fleeing in panic.

At this time, Harry was already telling Darren and the others about the Malfoy family.

"Hmph, he's scared... the thing I want to do most is find evidence of his crimes!"

Mr. Weasley leaned over and said. He had just heard Harry's account.

Knowing Lucius ran to Knockturn Alley to sell things, he said triumphantly.

"Be careful... that family is not to be trifled with!"

Mrs. Weasley touched him and said worriedly.

"You think I can't beat him?"

Mr. Weasley raised his fist, wanting to let the children see his muscles.

Then the next second, he was attracted by the Granger family who had just walked into Gringotts with them.

"This is Muggle money?"

He picked up a coin with great interest.

In a short while, Mr. Weasley and Mr. Granger became familiar with each other because of Muggle money, and they even decided to have a drink together later.

Then they went to the underground vault to get money together.

When they reached the Weasley family's vault, Harry was extremely embarrassed. Because there was only one gold Galleon and a small pile of silver Sickles inside. Harry didn't dare to speak at all.

However, Darren became curious instead.

So he turned to look at Mr. Weasley and asked: "Sir, did you spend all your salary on buying the car?"

The Weasley family was quite poor.

But Darren estimated that their poverty was because they didn't save money. They spent it as soon as they had it.

Just like in the third year, Mr. Weasley won five hundred Galleons, and the whole family went to Egypt to play.

And Mr. Weasley also bought the car to modify. Maybe there were other Muggle things.

Anyway, Darren felt their family wasn't really poor. Mr. Weasley's salary was definitely not low.

"Oh, yes, and many other little treasures... cough, Molly you heard wrong, I didn't talk nonsense to Darren again..."

Mr. Weasley said with a giggle.

However, he winked at Darren. Clearly, he still had many modified items.

"Hmph, hurry up, take the money, we still have to go get money for Harry and Darren!"

Mrs. Weasley clearly felt Mr. Weasley was corrupting Darren.

Such an obedient child, if he were corrupted by her husband, she would feel her conscience ache.

Harry watched Darren and the Weasley family in a daze.

He had thought Mr. Weasley's salary was too low to support the whole family!

"Alright, children, hurry up... next stop!"

As the small cart continued, they finally reached the Potter family's vault. As soon as the door opened, even Darren couldn't help but hiss.
