Chapter 336: Descendants of Slytherin?!!
Besides Ginny being a bit strange lately, Hermione had also become a bit strange.
She started running around the school library constantly. Holding all kinds of big books and reading all night.
Darren could gain more knowledge every morning when he woke up. This fully proved the diligence of this lady lately.
"My god, what exactly are you looking for?"
One day, Ron finally couldn't help but ask. Hermione glared at him and said: "You don't care about the so-called Chamber of Secrets at all; such a big thing happened that day, don't you guys use your brains at all?
Oh, I'm not talking about you, Darren, you've already been very diligent; I'm talking about these two guys who don't use their brains!"
Hermione praised Darren with a red face.
Darren put down the storybook in his hand with some embarrassment.
"Just a storybook, sometimes I also read it to change my mind..."
Hermione comforted Darren.
Ron was dumbfounded, but he immediately looked at Hermione with a cheeky smile and said: "Hermione, lend your essay to me and Harry to copy; we are working hard now!"
Harry nodded vigorously.
"Dream on! The professor gave you several days to write the essay. And you?
Only know how to play; do you know how much Darren wrote? He filled the whole piece of parchment!"
Hermione pointed at Harry and Ron, scolding them angrily. Ron complained: "Not to mention that Darren's handwriting was particularly ugly before, but he wrote very well after practicing later.
But besides being good-looking, he now writes letters very large; if there are ten lines on his parchment, I'll call him Dad!"
"What's wrong with ten lines? Ten lines is also the result of Darren's hard work; you guys didn't even write ten lines!"
Hermione angrily slapped the book on the table in front of Ron. It gave Ron a big fright.
Darren handed over his essay with some embarrassment, and said obediently: "Copy mine, remember to write in the future... as for the large letters, I don't know, ever since I changed my handwriting, I've been used to writing large.
In order to let the professor understand, I can only write that much; I will try to correct it in the future..."
Ron took Darren's essay.
He was a bit suspicious that Darren was talking nonsense. Just to be lazy and write less.
Because for the whole piece of parchment, he and Harry had already written the letters large enough to write less, but they still needed to write twenty lines.
But Darren could write letters to the extent of only writing ten lines; it was obvious how large he wrote the letters.
But thinking of Darren's usual performance, Ron still shook his head and dismissed his excessive speculation.
Impossible, Darren is different from them. He picked up Darren's notebook.
He put his eyes on the content above.
Beautiful wording, beautiful writing, ten lines written that made him sigh involuntarily.
No wonder Darren writes so little every time, and those teachers give him full marks. Is this talent?
It's just that he still put Darren's essay back. No wonder Hermione didn't stop them from copying Darren's essay.
It was really impossible to copy.
Darren writes such beautiful sentences, the professor will praise Darren for his good wording. But if they write such sentences, the professor will ask them where they copied them.
"Hmph, I advise you to write well!"
Hermione ended the conversation in a haughty voice. Then she immersed herself in looking for various books again.
Harry and the others didn't quite understand.
Until History of Magic class, they knew what Hermione was preparing for.
History of Magic class was taught by Professor Binns. Professor Binns was a ghost professor.
It is said that when he went to class one day, he forgot to bring his body, so he became a ghost.
His History of Magic class was very dry, boring, and dull; even Hermione would often lose focus in his class.
Except for Darren.
What Harry and the others admired most about Darren was this point.
No matter how boring the course was, Darren could keep up with the professor's train of thought. Every time the professor looked over, he could nod thoughtfully. Although everyone didn't know what he was thinking, he must have thought of something important.
This made everyone very respectful.
Even Professor Binns liked Darren very much.
During the exam last year, Professor Binns graded Darren, and he didn't even look at the answers before giving Darren full marks.
Of course, we won't talk about this now. Now we are talking about Hermione.
In the middle of Professor Binns's class, Hermione suddenly stood up and asked: "Professor, may I ask if you know about the Chamber of Secrets?"
"This subject of mine is History of Magic; I study facts, things that have happened!"
Professor Binns said in a dry, breathless voice. He continued to lecture from the book.
However, Hermione didn't give up at all. She said directly: "Professor probably doesn't know, but the castle is rumored that Darren is the Heir, and they all say he opened the Chamber of Secrets.
Last time there was a student, his name is Justin, he almost pulled out his wand to cast a spell on Darren when Darren went to visit him.
You wouldn't want to see Darren be wrongly accused like this, right? What's more, legends all have some facts!"
"Is that so? Darren?"
Professor Binns's tone finally changed a bit. He looked at Darren.
Darren shook his head hurriedly, and said a bit stammeringly: "Hermione is exaggerating too much... Justin is just a bit afraid of me... not to the point of casting a spell on me.
And... the timing of my appearance was indeed too clever, it's normal to be suspected..."
"So it's true!"
Professor Binns said angrily: "I have never seen such a student; the Chamber of Secrets is all nonsense!"
