Chapter 61: Dumbledore's Summons

~6 min read 1,089 words

After organizing his mood, Darren walked out of St. Mungo's.

As soon as he went out, he saw Betty standing upright at the entrance of St. Mungo's.

Her deep black hair was blown by the wind, and from Darren's angle, it looked like he was seeing a famous scene from some idol drama.

However, this idol drama heroine was not in a good mood at all.

She stood at the entrance of St. Mungo's, where people were coming and going, her brows tightly furrowed.

From time to time, she dodged one or two wizards who might have strange bloodlines, her face full of disgust.

"Finally out. If you didn't come out, I might have had to go to the boys' restroom to fish you out!"

After dodging a guy who was spraying blood all over, Betty finally saw Darren and said with relief.

If Darren didn't come out again, she was afraid she would have already fled here.

"Sorry, kept you waiting."

Darren said embarrassedly.

He took the initiative to walk to Betty and grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Betty looked at his hand, huffed, raised her wand, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Diagon Alley was still as bustling as ever.

People were coming and going all around.

After Darren was put down by Betty, Pachy greeted him.

Muttering and rambling:

"Young Master Darren ran too fast. Pachy came out of the bookstore and couldn't find Young Master Darren.

In the end, Pachy could only go to Dumbledore. Mr. Dumbledore said Young Master Darren was fine and told Pachy to wait here..."

"I'm sorry, Pachy. I was too angry before, so... I'm sorry!"

He could imagine Pachy's anxiety.

House-elves were originally meant to serve their masters wholeheartedly.

After their master disappeared, some would even punish themselves out of guilt.

However, Darren had no choice; if Pachy knew he had been hit by a Killing Curse, he was afraid it would be a mess today.

"Young Master Darren doesn't need to apologize to Pachy. Pachy knows everything the young master did.

The young master thinks life is equal, the young master thinks Pachy and the young master are the same.

Pachy is really too moved. Just now, Pachy has been crying, crying for a long time.

No one would do so much for a house-elf like the young master..."

Pachy said with a proud and sad old voice.

Darren wanted to comfort it; when he said life was equal, he mainly referred to people.

He forgot to think about other races.

But he felt that saying this would be a bit of a mood killer and didn't fit his Saint Father persona, so he held back and didn't speak.

"By the way, Young Master Darren, Mr. Dumbledore wants you to go back to his office."

After crying for a while, Pachy finally remembered this matter.

Darren was shocked in his heart.

Thinking of the Voldemort bloodline he had just gained today, he started to feel afraid.

No way?

Was old Dumbledore so well-informed?

He had just gained it!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

It should be something else.

"Did Professor Dumbledore say what it was about?"

Darren asked tentatively.

Although he knew that even if Dumbledore discovered something, he wouldn't tell Pachy, he still had a bit of hope.

What if Dumbledore's brain had water in it?

"Pachy knows. Mr. Dumbledore told Young Master Darren to go to his office. Pachy was worried that Mr. Dumbledore would hurt Young Master Darren, so Pachy eavesdropped for a while."

Ah, this?

Was it that ruthless?

Speaking of which, did Dumbledore really not know about house-elves eavesdropping?

God!

Wouldn't this be another trap laid by Dumbledore to test if he was honest?

Darren felt his head start to ache.

With such a white wizard who was hard to fathom watching him, he didn't know if it was good or bad.

If it was good, then it was indeed quite good.

If he encountered a fatal danger, Dumbledore would definitely come to save him.

And he could grind Saint Father points from this white wizard, which was quite fulfilling.

But the disadvantages were also obvious; he had to constantly fathom the white wizard's thoughts.

However, this wasn't difficult; as long as he showed the qualities of being upright and kind to this white wizard, it would be enough to deal with it.

And everything he was doing now was nothing shameful.

Except for Voldemort's bloodline.

But this thing shouldn't be easily detectable either.

No big problem.

Thinking of this, Darren felt relieved again.

He looked at Pachy and said seriously:

"Pachy, don't eavesdrop on other people's conversations in the future. That's impolite, bad, violates other people's privacy, and betrays other people's trust, do you know?"

This wasn't entirely to show off his Saint Father persona.

There were many talented people in the wizarding world; he didn't believe those famous wizards couldn't discover a house-elf eavesdropping.

This time it was Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't care, and it just happened to test his qualities, so he didn't say anything.

If he met a bad wizard next time and they discovered Pachy eavesdropping, they might just finish it off directly.

Darren didn't intend to let his house-elf die for this reason.

"Okay, Young Master Darren is always the best."

Pachy nodded obediently.

It was just that its gaze looking at Darren was even more worshipful.

Young Master Darren was upright, kind, and cute; it believed that if he returned to the old house, the ancestors of the Potter family would also like him.

Maybe in the future, Young Master Darren could even inherit the glory of the Potter family!

Thinking a rebellious thought.

It was somewhat unwilling to become Young Master Harry's house-elf; it only wanted to serve Young Master Darren forever, and also serve Young Master Darren's children.

It was just that Young Master Darren wasn't the eldest son of the Potter family, so it was very likely he couldn't inherit the Potter family.

It had heard this when it eavesdropped on Mr. Dumbledore's conversation today.

Mr. Dumbledore was promising someone that the Potter family would only let Young Master Harry inherit it.

But would Young Master Darren have to be kicked out?

It didn't tell Young Master Darren these things because it knew that even if it told Young Master Darren, he wouldn't go and fight for those things.

Young Master Darren was too kind; he definitely wouldn't want to do that kind of thing.

Pachy should think of a way itself. ===== CHAPTER 63 =====
