Chapter 685

~5 min read 828 words

Lupin's words stunned Darren.

That's not necessary, right?

Lupin could actually influence Dumbledore's decision? He had only been at school for a few days!

Could it be that he negotiated with Dumbledore using his identity as his godfather? But he reacted immediately.

It might be because of his behavior on the train earlier that made Dumbledore have this idea.

After all, Dumbledore and the others really thought he had already let it go.

Didn't expect it to still affect him so deeply now.

Alright.

Darren sighed in his heart.

But on the surface, he still wore a somewhat embarrassed expression.

He said somewhat guiltily, "Sorry Professor, for making you and Headmaster Dumbledore worry. Actually, I'm already fine, I just... I just have a bit of..."

【Ding, Saint Father value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father value +100】

【Ding...】

He couldn't say it anymore. His eyes were slightly red.

This was normal.

For a little Saint Father like him.

How could he forget about the nine lives so lightly?

Lupin's expression became serious.

He knew this child hadn't forgotten at all.

He always pretended to be fine in front of outsiders.

But for a kind and simple child like Darren, this kind of thing would torture him for a lifetime.

However.

He didn't say it out loud.

He sighed and said, "It seems Darren, you haven't walked out of it. Perhaps after class, you can find Headmaster Dumbledore and let him remove these memories..."

"No, Professor, I don't intend to remove these memories!"

Darren looked at Lupin seriously.

He looked at the surprised gazes of Lupin and the other students, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Nine students' lives... If I were stronger, perhaps they wouldn't have died.

It was all because I was too weak... I can't just forget it like that.

I want to keep the memory; I want to always remember what kind of consequences I once caused!"

【Ding, Saint Father value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father value +100】

【Ding, Saint Father value +100】

【Ding...】

"Darren, those things weren't caused by you!"

"Darren, you didn't kill them; the ones who killed them were the Death Eaters!"

"Darren, perhaps if you remove the memory, you won't be so sad all the time. Since last year, your smile has become increasingly faint."

"Darren..."

Whether it was the Slytherin or Gryffindor students, they couldn't bear it anymore.

They felt that if Darren removed that memory, he might be happier.

In their view, if it were them, they would have moved on long ago.

After all, it wasn't them who killed those people.

They had done their best, and being able to let six of those people survive was already not bad.

Perhaps the only misery was being betrayed by those people.

But Darren was different; he always blamed all the mistakes on himself.

This certainly brought him immense pressure. Of course, their persuasion didn't work at all.

Although Darren thanked them for their good intentions.

But he firmly rejected this request.

Because if this memory was gone, he wouldn't be able to farm Saint Father values next time.

After all, he had forgotten.

Wouldn't he look less pitiful?

And without a story, how could he attract the attention of young girls?

Darren was very firm.

This made Lupin helpless as well.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to have class first.

Removing memories could be discussed later.

So he talked about the Boggart again.

"I think Dumbledore will talk to Darren, so let's focus on the class first.

After all, although I wanted Darren to face the Boggart, I didn't just want Darren to face the Boggart; I also wanted you all to face it.

This kind of creature is still quite common, and it is also a creature that is mainly discussed in Defense Against the Dark Arts; your final exam will definitely have it... So, who can tell me what forms a Boggart has? What kind of creature is it specifically?"

Lupin asked.

Hermione raised her hand high.

"A Boggart is... they can see the fear in people's hearts..."

"Very good!"

Lupin praised.

Then he looked at Darren and asked, "So, Darren, can you tell me, if we want to solve a Boggart, what do we need to do?"

"What repels a Boggart is laughter, and of course, the spell to deal with it: Riddikulus!"

"Very great, ten points to Slytherin... Darren, I hope you can do all of this today... break the fear in your heart, break the cowardice in your heart, I hope you can do it!"

Lupin said encouragingly. Darren looked up in shock.

What's the situation?

Why did he have to break his fear?

If he broke his fear today, how could he pretend to be in pain in the future? This was simply making things difficult for a little Saint Father like him!

But his expression was misunderstood.

Everyone thought, was Darren afraid to face the Boggart?
