Chapter 383

~4 min read 780 words

This was a velvet chair, looking much more comfortable.

Darren was extremely envious.

He also wanted to sit on this one.

Dumbledore misunderstood his expression; he thought Darren was afraid.

So he placed his hand on the top of Darren's head.

"No one can coerce you!"

His voice was full of power.

Darren felt that if it were Harry, he would definitely be much happier and feel much safer, but for him, this little Saint-Father.

The only thought was, what if I don't grow taller from having my head patted?

Of course, he naturally couldn't say it out loud.

As a little Saint-Father.

He didn't need to show the happy, excited, and secure expression like Harry, but at least he should be obedient, right?

So Darren tried his best to smile, but there wasn't much sense of security on his face, but rather more self-abandonment.

This made Dumbledore's heart skip a beat.

He suddenly thought of the anxious expression Arthur had just now when he came to find him.

At that time, he had arrived just in time, so in order not to be late, he didn't listen to what Arthur had to say.

He thought Arthur was going to talk about helping Darren.

He didn't take it to heart at all.

Regarding this matter, Darren was a victim from beginning to end; as long as he insisted that he didn't kill anyone and didn't do bad things, it was just going through the motions.

Fudge was at most just trying to disgust him; this case had no suspense, but he didn't consider Darren's mood at all.

This child had always been so kind; when seeing so many students die in front of him, he was very likely to blame all of this on himself.

Thinking of the scene described by that student when he first heard it, Dumbledore couldn't control his emotions at the time.

Letting such a child face such a scene, and it was the kind-hearted Darren, he couldn't imagine this child's mood at the time.

When he heard that Slytherin student say that Darren knelt down to those Death Eaters to save people, his heart rose.

This child must have been extremely miserable at that time.

Of course, because he had seen too many deaths over these years, he mostly wanted to let Fudge suffer a loss and make him behave.

But he never thought that he could calmly face death, but this child was different.

He was facing such a scene for the first time, and he was truly facing a battlefield.

It was very normal for him to be so self-abandoned.

Many people would be like this, and this child was just exceptionally kind.

But this wasn't a normal trial now; this was Fudge's difficulty!

Dumbledore frowned tightly.

Fudge didn't know what Dumbledore was thinking.

He just saw Dumbledore frowning and thought Dumbledore was really unhappy with him.

He was extremely anxious in his heart.

He tried his best to maintain his decency.

But listening to the people behind him who were discussing because Dumbledore frowned, he inevitably became irritable, annoyed, and slightly regretful.

Of course.

He couldn't back down now.

This was just a trial.

There was no evidence to prove that he was making things difficult for Dumbledore.

Thinking this way, he gradually regained some calm.

So he took a piece of paper from a pile of documents and said, "Interrogation, that's right, we must know what happened at the time, Darren, you speak first!"

Fudge said with malicious intent.

He looked at the boy in front of him with some sympathy.

Oh, kind child!

Just give Dumbledore a difficult problem!

"No, I object!"

But his words were objected to by Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, you..."

"It's like this, I think since it's an interrogation, perhaps we can try... Veritaserum?"

Dumbledore leaned his body against the back of the chair.

He saw Darren looking at him somewhat blankly, but there was no anger in his eyes at all, but rather some worry.

Dumbledore saw that he wasn't worried about himself, but was worried about those students.

A more absurd guess suddenly appeared in the bottom of his heart; besides cooperating with Death Eaters, did those students do even more excessive things?

His body was even trembling; the evil of human nature was actually reflected so perfectly on this group of students.

PS: The protagonist will soon be able to complete Filch's long-term task.

He will get a high-level bloodline; I have made a poll in the comment section and on the PC webpage, everyone can take a look.

It will end in about three days.

Currently, Hufflepuff and Slytherin each have one vote.
