Chapter 453

Ron and Hermione did the same.

"Fortunately, now that people have left, we don't have to see those terrifying looks from them... Darren, why aren't you angry at all?"

Harry looked at Darren helplessly.

He didn't quite understand why the two of them were being ostracized by the rest of the school, yet Darren wasn't sad at all.

"Why should I be sad? They are worried that we might hurt them; that's a certainty!

Although we know that we won't hurt others, they will be afraid; this is human nature.

So I've been avoiding them during this time, for fear of scaring them!"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

【Ding...】

Darren's face was filled with a relieved smile.

He didn't seem to be sad at all because of other people's alienation; he was still that Darren whose smile could make people cast away all their gloom.

"Alright, alright, Darren, you are always so kind!"

Harry laughed helplessly.

Clearly, he wasn't very angry anymore.

On Christmas Day.

Darren woke up from his sleep...

He pushed aside the gifts that almost filled his entire bed.

Inside were piles and piles of candy, many books, and a lot of new anime merchandise from the Muggle world.

Compared to Harry's cold and lonely situation of being ostracized, Darren actually hadn't spent Christmas all alone.

Because he wasn't in Gryffindor.

The fact that he was the Heir of Slytherin simply left the Slytherin students full of shock toward him.

They had never thought that the Potter family would actually have the bloodline of Slytherin. During this time, even the students who didn't talk to him much before started to greet him in an awkward way.

Because they believed that Darren would definitely be able to become the pride of Slytherin.

Even if Darren didn't really look like he possessed the bloodline of Slytherin.

After all, he was too kind.

They used to call Darren a "stupid lion who snuck into Slytherin" behind his back.

They didn't expect that one day, they would discover he possessed the noble bloodline of Slytherin; they changed their attitude all at once.

However, this matter made Malfoy extremely angry.

Every time he saw Darren during this period, he would tremble with anger.

Darren suspected he was thinking: How could it be that they are brothers, yet one possesses the bloodline of Slytherin and the other doesn't?

This is unfair!

But even so, the Malfoy family of three still sent three gifts.

Narcissa sent a thick robe.

Lucius sent him a genealogy of pure-blood families.

Malfoy sent him a Nimbus 2001 directly. Darren was a bit disdainful.

The thing he hated most right now was Quidditch.

Snape sent him a pair of boots.

After he put them on, he found that they had been cast with many warming charms; they were warm and cozy, and he almost couldn't bear to take them off once he put them on.

Of course, there were also Mrs. Weasley's sweater and her homemade fudge.

After tidying up all his things, Darren also discovered a gift from Dumbledore.

It was a blank piece of parchment.

At the bottom, written in the "circles within circles" font familiar to Darren, it said: "This was sent to you by your godfather; he thinks you might need it."

Godfather?

He still had a godfather?

Darren was a bit dazed.

Was it Sirius Black?

It shouldn't be.

Sirius Black hadn't escaped yet.

Even if he had escaped, it would be impossible for him to have Dumbledore send him a gift right now.

Then it was... Lupin?
