Chapter 461

~6 min read 1,070 words

Why did that stupid guy become so fragile today?

He didn't seem to be like this usually!

Could it be that he was very sad because he was homeless on such a day?

But didn't he have Harry Potter to accompany him?

For that guy, wouldn't everything be fine as long as he had Harry Potter?

Cassandra was puzzled in her heart.

But she didn't say anything.

She didn't know why she couldn't raise any interest in talking to the stupid guy today; even mocking him was boring.

Forget it, forget it, maybe it was Christmas, and she felt this guy was too pitiful, which was why she had such a feeling.

"Hmph, he doesn't even have new clothes for Christmas!"

Cassandra complained.

She remembered she had sent this guy two wizard robes; why wasn't he wearing them?

And this robe, it seemed to be the one that the know-it-all girl from Gryffindor sent this stupid guy last year; did this guy like Gryffindor things that much?

"A guy with no taste!"

She satirized him again.

But as she stepped into the girls' dormitory, she still looked back in confusion.

Usually, when she was angry, that guy would apologize with guilt.

Although she could see that the guy himself didn't know why he was apologizing; he just felt that it wasn't good to make girls angry, so he subconsciously conceded.

Of course, it might also be a habit he formed from apologizing to people in the orphanage since he was a child.

She disliked it very much.

But she wasn't anyone to him, so she couldn't possibly manage even this kind of thing.

So she could only remain silent.

But this habit she disliked didn't appear today.

"Potter?"

Cassandra called out with a frown.

Hermione pretended to be Darren's usual expression for dealing with girls and looked back at her in confusion.

Cassandra's eyes became even more puzzled.

She suddenly said: "Potter, have you copied the Slytherin house rules that Professor Snape asked you to copy?"

"Professor... the professor didn't ask me to copy them..."

Hermione revealed a surprised expression.

Only then did the suspicion in Cassandra's eyes lessen, but she still said with a haughty expression: "Then why don't you go into your dormitory? You usually go straight in!"

"Yeah, Potter, you aren't trying to eavesdrop on us here, are you?"

Malfoy said slowly; he seemed to have thought of something, looking at Hermione with sharp eyes, his hand gripping his wand tightly.

Hermione, Harry, and Ron all turned pale.

Because they remembered that Darren's dormitory must be entered with his consent, otherwise they would be blocked outside.

Clearly, because of Hermione's tears, this Cassandra from Slytherin suspected them.

Even Malfoy became vigilant because of Cassandra's suspicion.

Thinking that if they were caught here, even Hermione felt suffocated.

However, she was Hermione after all; she shook her head embarrassedly, like Darren, and headed toward the boys' dormitory.

She felt grateful in her heart.

Fortunately, she had asked for Darren's dormitory number before.

She looked at the door plate without a trace, then found Darren's dormitory, and placed her hand on Darren's dormitory door with some trepidation.

Her eyes looked at Harry and Ron, signaling that if it really couldn't be opened, they would run out quickly.

As long as they didn't let those people see their faces, they would be fine.

After all, Darren definitely wouldn't expose them.

"Crabbe, go block the stairs!"

Malfoy suddenly looked at Ron and gave him a wink.

"Ah? Ah, okay..."

Ron was bumped by Harry before he reacted that he was Crabbe now; he stumbled toward the bottom of the stairs.

Ready to run at any time.

Harry was originally worried that Malfoy would suspect Ron's performance was wrong.

But perhaps Crabbe was usually like this, so Malfoy didn't suspect anything at all.

He was somewhat smugly telling Harry quietly: "Hmph, if this Darren, Darren Potter, is a fake, then I can get a reward from the professor.

Maybe this is a Death Eater in disguise, then I might even be able to get an Order of Merlin.

My father can definitely get it for me; that Darren Potter is just...

Anyway, my father is omnipotent!"

Harry wanted to mock Malfoy...

Darren getting that Order of Merlin was the result of Darren's day-and-night efforts, and it had nothing to do with Malfoy.

At most, it was because of Dumbledore's recommendation that Darren got that medal, without any suspense.

But he couldn't say it now.

And he was also very nervous.

Darren's room door, it seemed Snape had indeed said that no one could enter without Darren's permission.

It was said that it was to worry about these Slytherin students taking revenge on Darren.

Snape might be worried that if Darren had an accident at school, especially in Slytherin, Dumbledore wouldn't let him off.

Although he felt that such a mechanism was good, but now Darren wasn't even there, how could he agree to let them in?

He gripped his wand tightly, ready to run at any moment.

However.

The door handle Hermione pressed opened easily.

"Hmph, I didn't expect it to really be him!"

Malfoy put away his wand; the expression on his face was extremely disappointed.

Harry knew he was regretting the Order of Merlin he had lost.

However, he also hadn't expected that this door didn't need Darren to be there to agree; it could be opened as long as Darren recognized it in his heart.

He thought of Darren's personality and suddenly started to worry.

With Darren's personality, probably everyone in Slytherin should be able to enter, right?

Fortunately, no one knew about this mechanism.

Otherwise, Darren would definitely never have peace.

Of course, it was also fortunate that these people didn't know, otherwise Hermione's tears just now might have gotten them caught and taken to Snape.

Thinking of turning back into his own self in front of Snape, Harry felt his stomach start to ache.

Sure enough, Snape was his nemesis.

"Alright, Crabbe, come over here, I'll show you something good.

It was sent by my father today; if you see it, you will definitely be very happy..."

Malfoy said, while a gloating expression appeared on his face.

"This thing has to do with Scarhead and that red-haired Weasley.

You wait, I'll let you see... alright, it's this, look quickly, this news can make me happy all day!"
