Chapter 49: Slytherin

It was already late at night by the time Darren finished dealing with Pachy.

Darren's child-sized body finally felt the onset of drowsiness; he merely turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, sunlight was already spilling across the earth.

After washing up,

Pachy brought over a bowl of oatmeal and two treacle tarts.

Perhaps thinking Darren liked sweets, a generous amount of sugar had been added to the oatmeal.

Darren ate it while feeling that he might develop diabetes in the future.

"Young Master Darren, are we going to Diagon Alley?"

"Yes!"

Of course he was going!

Darren wiped his mouth, patted his stomach, and prepared with satisfaction to go to Diagon Alley to grind for temporary quests.

Pachy nodded with a smile and Apparated him to Diagon Alley.

Diagon Alley was as bustling as ever.

The closer it got to the start of the school term, the more crowded Diagon Alley became.

There were always students who insisted on waiting until the last minute to buy their books.

Darren saw an elderly woman scolding her grandson.

As he walked closer, he heard her say:

"Neville, how can you always be so forgetful? If you lose the Galleons, how are we supposed to buy things?"

"I'm sorry, Grandma, I forgot..."

"Sigh!"

Darren curiously observed the grandmother and grandson for a moment. Neville, the boy who lived in the original story, looked honest and interesting, just as expected.

However, since no temporary quest had been triggered, he didn't go over.

He had to go buy his books first.

Flourish and Blotts was located next to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions in Diagon Alley.

The bookshelves here were piled high with books, reaching all the way to the ceiling.

Some of the books were even fighting with each other.

Darren also saw a book printed with countless strange symbols, which made his eyes swim.

"Ah..."

A cry of surprise brought Darren back to his senses from the books.

It turned out an older girl had been knocked over by someone.

She stood up, frowning, and glared with some annoyance at a boy with pale blond hair and gray eyes in front of her.

"Malfoy, how dare you do that?"

Malfoy?

Darren immediately recalled Draco Malfoy from the original story.

At present, he should be the only child in the Malfoy family.

He didn't immediately step forward to let his "Saint Father" radiance shine; instead, he stood to the side to watch the show.

"Hmph, Betty Greengrass, who told you to reject me at the ball? This is for you!"

Greengrass?

This surname, like Malfoy, was at the forefront of the Sacred Twenty-Eight.

Darren remembered that in the original story, Malfoy seemed to have married a Greengrass girl.

It shouldn't be this one, right?

Darren couldn't recall the specific name for a moment, but he remembered it definitely wasn't Betty.

Besides, Malfoy would argue with others too? ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
