Chapter 643

She had almost done everything that Darren disliked.

"I'm sorry..."

Hermione said in a panic.

But she was interrupted.

"Hermione, why did you speak to Luna like that just now?"

Darren asked expressionlessly.

Hermione opened her mouth; she felt terrible seeing Darren and Luna talking.

"I hate her; she's a Ravenclaw loony, and a muddled madwoman. She even told me to leave you!"

Hermione said hatefully.

"Hermione, you know, I sometimes say things that hurt others; actually, many people know that.

So I'll apologize in advance, because what I say today might hurt you a little..."

He apologized gloomily. Hermione shook her head quickly.

She wanted to tell him, no, that's not it.

He had never hurt anyone.

But Darren stopped Hermione's words.

He continued: "Earlier, in front of the carriage, I saw Thestrals... Thestrals, a kind of creature that only those who have seen death can see..."

Darren choked up a little.

Hermione's eyes turned red instantly.

She remembered why Darren could see Thestrals.

And she also remembered why Darren said that.

He had witnessed death.

And not just one or two, but the deaths of nine students.

This was a huge blow to Darren.

Earlier on the train, he had collapsed because the Dementor sucked away his happiness, reminding him of this incident.

"I didn't know..."

Hermione murmured.

Darren shook his head.

He looked at the Thestrals and continued: "At that time, after I saw the Thestrals, I felt especially sad... It was Luna; she interrupted my previous mood and pulled me back from the edge of a breakdown... Shouldn't I be grateful to her, shouldn't I treat her as a friend?"

Hermione shook her head quickly.

If that was the case, they should all be grateful to Luna.

It was just that Darren's expression was still serious.

"Hermione, you yelled at my friend, called her a loony, and showed her no respect at all."

And you even dragged me away directly, without any manners at all. Why?" Darren's expression had turned stern.

Hermione had never seen such an expression on him.

She felt somewhat sad.

And even somewhat afraid.

She was afraid that Darren would never talk to her again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Darren, I just didn't know, I..."

"Hermione, are you still my friend? If you are my friend, how could you do that? You are not my friend, you are not anymore!"

Darren's expression was repressed.

Hermione was even more terrified.

Her tears were about to fall.

Just as they were about to fall, Darren's voice suddenly changed, and he said gently: "Silly Hermione, you are not my friend, you are my family, my favorite big sister.

Every time, you are the one accompanying me on adventures; in my heart, you are much more important than a friend, which is why I followed you back directly!"

"Is, is that so? I thought you didn't want me anymore, I thought you hated me from now on..."

Hermione said, crying.

Darren shook his head, stood up, hugged Hermione, and said firmly: "Stop crying, you are of course much more important than my friends. If you don't want me to, I can stop making friends from now on.

If you really don't like her, I just won't talk to her again.

Although I think that is very impolite and a bit ungrateful, but Hermione, those things don't compare to how good you, my big sister, are to me!"

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding, Saint Father points +100】

【Ding...】

Darren happily accepted the Saint Father points.

And he heard Hermione say, through tears and laughter: "How could I not let you make friends? I was just worried she would bully you; I misunderstood her. Next time, I will apologize to her."
