Chapter 67

Harry's money was also from his vault!

If he could, he really wanted to return the one Harry bought and use someone else's.

But since he had to return them, he had to return them all, otherwise people would think he looked down on them!

Darren, who had been pretending to be happy all day, returned to Slytherin at night.

To let everyone know he liked the broomstick, he had ridden it for a whole day.

When he came back carrying the broomstick, he felt like he had suddenly developed broomstick-phobia.

He didn't want the one Harry bought anymore; could he return it?

He suddenly became annoyed with flying.

Fortunately, he had triggered three missions today, which comforted his disappointed mood a little.

The sad thing was that those three missions were all ordinary Saint Father value rewards.

There were no missions that made his eyes light up.

He could only comfort himself that luck is rare, and misfortune is common.

At the very least, he had briefly possessed thirty-two flying broomsticks... and...

77

Before Halloween.

Hogwarts was filled with pumpkin lanterns.

Professor Flitwick announced in Charms class that they could learn to use the Levitation Charm.

"That's right, it's the spell that little Mr. Potter used during flying class!"

Professor Flitwick said excitedly.

He had never seen a first-year student use a spell so well.

"Darren, if you had used that spell for the first time in my class, I would definitely have added 20 points to Slytherin, it's wonderful!"

Professor Flitwick continued to praise.

Darren was a bit embarrassed, his face blushing slightly.

This caused a burst of good-natured laughter from Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Since the broomstick misunderstanding last time, everyone knew that Slytherin House actually had quite a few students who liked Darren.

They just didn't want to express it, which made Darren look like he was all alone.

In reality, there were quite a few people taking care of Darren in secret.

This also made many people realize Darren's good popularity.

Darren sighed slightly; because he didn't look as pitiful as before, people started talking to him when he went out recently.

This made him annoyed.

Just as he was thinking, Darren heard Professor Flitwick clapping.

It turned out that this professor had finished explaining the key points of casting the spell and intended to divide them into groups of two to practice the Levitation Charm.

Because Darren already knew it, he was allowed to sit on the side and do his homework. After he finally finished his Charms homework, he heard the bell ring.

[Ding, detected a scene where the Saint Father system can be utilized around the host, now issuing a temporary mission: After Ron finishes bad-mouthing Hermione, walk to Ron's side and ask him angrily: In your eyes, does a partner who has encountered danger with you not count as a friend just because she corrected your spell error? Then what am I?]

[Ding, after the mission is completed, you will receive a Forbidden Forest blind box; do you want to accept the mission?]

Hmm?

Darren froze.

Forbidden Forest blind box?

What kind of thing is this again?

If this system wants to give him a reward, it can give it directly; why put it in the Forbidden Forest?

He complained.

However, he was very happy to see this mission.

After all, the missions he had received recently were at most two talent points, and they were all added to the Dark Magic talent.

Causing his Dark Magic talent to have reached 22 points now; he was practically an Azkaban reserve.

The rest was the Saint Father value.

He reserved one thousand Saint Father values to use the Obscurus, and the rest were all used by him on the study of textbooks.

He had already learned all the first-year textbooks and was currently setting his sights on the Hogwarts library.

It was a pity there weren't enough Saint Father values.

[Accept!]

Darren sighed and immediately chose to accept the mission.

And after the mission was accepted, he picked up his books and stood up.

He saw Harry and Ron were already waiting for him at the door.

"Let's go! I'm really fed up with that Hermione Granger..."

Ron said unhappily at the classroom door.

Darren frowned and interrupted him.

"Ron, a gentleman cannot bad-mouth a lady behind her back!"

"Forget it! We're just children! And she's really annoying; honestly, she's like a nightmare."

Ron said, waving his hands angrily.

Then a figure bumped into him heavily and then left from his side—it was Hermione!

Darren saw she was shedding tears.

He hurriedly wanted to pull her back, but Hermione disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"She heard what you said."

Darren looked at Ron; Ron felt a bit uneasy, but he still stiffened his neck and said stubbornly: "So what? She must have noticed she doesn't have a single friend!"

"Doesn't have a single friend?"

Darren's tone gradually rose; everyone could see he was angry.

Ron didn't understand, not knowing what he had said wrong, when he heard Darren say angrily: "Hermione is our friend; she has adventured with us, night-walked with us; she just has a bad temper, how can you mock her like this?"

Just because she corrected your spell error, you can talk about her like this? Then in your heart, what am I?

I must be an evil, vicious, disgusting Slytherin, right?

Darren's tone became more and more agitated; suddenly he looked at Harry and said sadly: "Brother, I always thought Gryffindor and Slytherin were the same.

In Slytherin, even if everyone rejects me because I like Gryffindor, they won't bad-mouth me.

Instead, they take care of my feelings and even try their best to avoid punishment for me.

I thought the Gryffindor you spoke of would be very good, which is why I looked down on Slytherin, but how could you guys bad-mouth people behind their backs?

And bad-mouth a lady? I can't believe it!"

Darren turned and left, somewhat broken.

Before leaving, his pair of emerald green eyes were filled with sadness.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for perfectly completing the mission, receiving a Forbidden Forest blind box, Dark Magic talent +2]

Forbidden Forest blind box: a blind box opened in the Forbidden Forest, filled with strange items from the Forbidden Forest.

As the system's reward fell, Darren also walked to the corner of the corridor.

Seeing that there were still people staring at him in shock, he sighed sadly and left with feigned calmness.

After he left.

"Harry, Darren is making too much of a fuss..."

Ron looked at Harry, saying unhappily.

He was interrupted by Harry before he could finish.

"Darren is right, Ron, how can you bad-mouth a lady behind her back?"

I am also at fault for not stopping you; Darren just cried from sadness!

Harry thought of what Darren had just said, and there was no unhappiness in his heart, only full pride.

This was his brother.

From childhood to adulthood, he was bullied by Dudley and his gang at school and shunned by other classmates in his class.
