Chapter 690

~4 min read 669 words

Lupin brought the scene under control.

He laughed loudly: "Children, since Darren has overcome his fear, what about you?

Don't you want to conquer your own fears during such a joyful time?"

And so, Lupin had all the students face the Boggart next.

Except for Harry.

Harry felt extremely aggrieved.

On such a good day, he actually couldn't face the Boggart.

He also wanted to know what his fear was.

Of course.

He had some guesses in his heart.

He originally thought he was most afraid of Voldemort, but in the end, he thought of the Dementors.

That kind of coldness that seeped out from the soul was too terrifying.

He originally wanted to ask Lupin, but then felt, would that make him seem like he was making a fuss over nothing?

Harry thought irritably.

Of course, what made him even more irritable was Darren.

Because when class ended, Darren was dragged away by Malfoy again. Malfoy loudly told others that Darren was already his lackey.

Otherwise, he would sue Hagrid and send Hagrid to Azkaban.

These words successfully made Harry forget his small dissatisfaction with Lupin.

However, he did not continue to apologize.

Because Hermione was right.

Darren was working so hard to be Malfoy's lackey for Hagrid's sake; he couldn't make things difficult for Darren anymore.

Hadn't the previous lessons been enough?

Darren was ostensibly being a lackey for Malfoy.

In reality, he only had to cooperate with Malfoy when Harry was around; at other times, Malfoy didn't bother with him.

Malfoy just wanted to take revenge on Harry.

This was the one thing Darren admired about Malfoy.

Persistence!

An unkillable husky.

The day after learning about Boggarts.

Darren received a summons from Lupin.

Lupin asked him to wait in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

But when Darren arrived, Lupin was already there.

Seeing Darren enter, he stood up with a face full of smiles and said:

"Oh, my child, how are you feeling today? Do you feel uncomfortable?

I hope you aren't too bothered; I need to know how you are feeling now so that I can take the best course of action for you!"

Lupin rubbed his hands together.

In reality, he didn't need to ask at all.

Because the smile on Darren's face was much brighter.

Looking at his smile was like seeing the Sun God.

It made one feel extremely comfortable inside.

However, Lupin couldn't say that.

Because he didn't know what other excuse he could use to call Darren over.

Darren pretended he hadn't noticed anything.

He obediently described his feelings.

This made Lupin extremely happy.

He kept Darren there and talked for quite a while.

When Darren showed a sleepy expression, his heart stirred, and he tentatively asked: "Darren, are you afraid of Dementors?"

"A little afraid..."

Darren answered honestly.

"Then would you like to learn the spell to subdue Dementors from me?"

Darren was speechless inside.

He remembered that in the original work, Lupin waited for Harry to take the initiative to ask him this question.

Only then did he agree to teach Harry the spell.

He didn't expect that when it came to him, Lupin would actually take the initiative to say he would teach him.

It seems this brother's son is still a bit different from his own son.

(Note: The source text here seems to have garbled characters/typos.)

As a little Saint Father, of course, he had to show Lupin his learning ability; naturally, he could also farm some Saint Father points here.

"Professor, can I, can I really learn from you?"

Darren stood up excitedly, his face full of anticipation.

Lupin laughed softly.

"Of course you can. If you want to come and learn any other spells, you can always find me.

If there's one I don't know, I can help you ask other professors to see if they know it.

And I am your father's... your mother's... just a good friend of your parents, you can safely tell me all your worries!"
