Chapter 730: He deserves it!!

~6 min read 1,152 words

Hermione's words stunned Harry and the others.

Although they didn't mind using the Sword of Gryffindor to trade for Darren's safety.

However, it was clear that Darren would not agree to this.

But to their surprise, Darren did not object.

Or rather, he held back from asking Hermione to her face why she had agreed like that.

He kept his doubts to himself, and only when the three of them were alone did he ask about it.

Hermione was somewhat uneasy.

But she still said it.

"It's like this, I think the Sorting Hat can pull out the Sword of Gryffindor..."

"That is true, but we are asking, why did you agree?" Harry blurted out.

Ron also had a blank expression on his face. Clearly, they didn't quite understand what Hermione meant.

Only Darren's face showed a look of sudden realization.

But he frowned slightly and said, "Wouldn't this be very... very shameless?"

He hesitated.

However, seeing Hermione's unease, he immediately said, "Hermione, I am not talking about you; in fact, I had thought of doing this before, so when you said it, I was certain we had the same idea.

I was just wondering, would doing this make the goblin hate us even more?"

"Don't worry about it; they hate the Dark Lord too, yet don't they still have to serve him?"

Hermione said cautiously.

At this time, Ron and Harry asked impatiently, "God, you two should at least explain it to us, otherwise we can't understand what you are talking about at all!"

Hermione rolled her eyes at them.

"I told you to study hard... forget it, this matter isn't something you can understand just by reading.

This is something I asked the Sorting Hat about before: no matter where the Sword of Gryffindor is, it can always be pulled out from the Sorting Hat!"

Ron and Harry were stunned.

"If that's the case, then we can definitely use the Sword of Gryffindor to trick that Griphook into working."

"!"

Ron said excitedly.

Darren said uneasily, "Perhaps, after we have our final battle with the Dark Lord, we can give it to him; for now, we can let him play with it...

When we need to use it, we can just pull it out from the Sorting Hat again..."

[Ding, Saint Father Value +100]

[Ding, Saint Father Value +100]

[Ding...]

"Alright, Darren, don't worry.

Anyway, the contract Hermione made us sign only says we have to give him the sword; it doesn't say that once we give it to him, we can't take it back!"

Ron said with a smile.

Of course, that's what they said, but since it was their first time deceiving someone like this, they still felt a bit guilty.

But after a few days, a few weeks, they felt more and more that this contract was the most normal thing.

Griphook didn't deserve their promise at all.

Because this guy, while doing the preparatory work, was always trying to lead them into a trap.

Sometimes it would be discovered by Darren, sometimes by Hermione.

They would point it out and then sternly warn Griphook.

Besides that, Griphook was always telling them that wizards had stolen their things.

For example, the Sword of Gryffindor; Griphook always believed that Gryffindor had taken their things.

In reality, when Gryffindor had them make the sword, he must have given them payment.

But these goblins didn't think like wizards.

They believed that even if payment was made, these things still belonged to the goblins.

They only lent them to humans, and yet the humans didn't return them.

This concept made Harry and the others very disgusted.

But they still needed Griphook to take them into Gringotts.

Finally.

After they had ruled out the last problem, they decided that there was no time to lose; they had to enter Gringotts as soon as possible.

But when they told Bill and the others this news, they met with strong opposition.

Especially Ginny.

She had recently taken on the task of cooking.

When she heard that Darren and the others were going to leave to continue their adventure, the expression on her face became very much like Mrs. Weasley's.

"I don't agree!"

She shouted.

"I finally managed to put a little meat on your bones, and you're going out again... I can tell, you have another plan!

Will you go and never return? You might die out there!"

Her angry words made Harry and the others afraid to say anything more.

Because she indicated that if they said one more word, she would make them vomit up all the food they had eaten during this time.

Even Darren couldn't handle that.

Who made Ginny's cooking so delicious? He ate the most! But the matter of setting off was still decided.

They left a note saying they were going out, and then left early in the morning.

Hermione used Polyjuice Potion to disguise herself as Bellatrix.

Darren used his wand to disguise himself as a foreign nobleman.

An investigator from an investigative team who had come to inspect the Ministry of Magic.

After all, he still had that small key from the investigative team from his fourth year; using it to disguise himself was still very perfect.

Since this change of Minister hadn't gone through the Lianhe Society's approval.

It was normal for them to send someone.

As for Ron, he was disguised as Darren's attendant.

A bodyguard who looked particularly tall and sturdy.

And Harry could only hide under the Invisibility Cloak, with Griphook on his head, carefully reminding them from the side.

Of course, in Darren's words, even if Voldemort arrived, Harry would be able to run a step ahead.

They Apparated to the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron.

Then Hermione walked in wearing Bella's face.

While passing old Tom, Hermione and Darren both muttered a "good morning."

This made old Tom show a look of astonishment.

"You are too polite!"

Ron said helplessly.

Darren was one thing, but how could Hermione, a Death Eater, greet old Tom?

He was just a pub owner!

"You should show an expression like you're looking at trash to these people... Darren is one thing, but you just need to be expressionless!"

Harry said helplessly from under the Invisibility Cloak.

He didn't expect Darren to perform perfectly at all.

Letting Darren act was truly a helpless decision.

Fortunately, Hermione could still shape herself.

She nodded hard.

The expression on her face became more of a sneer.

When they passed through the Leaky Cauldron into Diagon Alley, some children on the street ran away.

These children looked panicked, a bit like they had seen a wolf.

This made Hermione show a look of pity.

However, under Harry's reminder, she immediately returned to her previous appearance.

"Mrs. Lestrange!"

Just after Hermione had recovered her expression, someone ran over from a street.

He shouted loudly...
