Chapter 736: Look!!

"They're here!"

Hermione said suddenly.

Aberforth looked at Darren blankly.

"Go in from here, and you can enter your school... they have blocked every door, only this one can get in.

As for what you do after you get in, that is your own business.

I hope I don't have to collect your corpses!"

He said impolitely.

Then he pointed to the passage.

And at this time, a boy was appearing in the passage.

It was Neville Longbottom.

He was covered in wounds, and his face also had scars; he looked at Darren and the others and showed an excited smile.

"Great, are you here to lead us to victory?"

Neville hugged Darren, and then hugged Harry and the others in turn.

"What happened to you?"

Harry looked at the scars on Neville's face with worry.

Neville shrugged his shoulders.

"This is nothing... Darren is more miserable than me!

They aren't allowed to create wounds on his face, so they deliberately create them under his clothes... it's fine, we're used to it!"

"What, Darren, why didn't you tell us?"

Hermione screamed.

And went to pull at Darren's clothes.

Darren hurriedly covered his clothes.

Afraid that everyone would discover that he didn't have a single wound on his body.

"Alright, Hermione, it's already healed, it's been healed for a long time..."

Perhaps realizing that there were many people here, Hermione didn't pull his clothes after all, and Darren breathed a sigh of relief.

Neville laughed.

"You guys have such a good relationship... by the way, Aber, two more people will come later, when the time comes, let them go in from here!"

"What? The whole village has been set with Screaming Charms, they will be discovered if they come!"

"Don't worry, they will Apparate directly into your pub, you just need to be responsible for letting them go in from here!"

Neville finished speaking, ignoring Aberforth's jumping expression.

He pushed Darren and Harry, and said excitedly, "Let's go, hurry up, Hermione, Ron, everyone wants to see you, wants to know about your adventure!"

"You all heard?"

Harry grinned.

"Yeah!"

Neville walked backward down the corridor.

He looked at Darren and Harry excitedly.

"We heard you burst out of Gringotts riding a dragon. What kind of massive undertaking did you pull off?

Before, everyone said you were on the run, but Darren kept explaining to everyone that you had a mission to complete.

A mission left behind by Dumbledore, right? How much of the mission have you finished now?"

Harry said with a bit of a guilty conscience: "Still a bit left. What about you? How is life at school..."

The smile on Neville's face vanished.

He sighed softly: "The school now can't even be called a school. You know the Carrow siblings, right? Darren should have told you—they're those two Death Eaters..."

Harry and the others shook their heads blankly. Darren rarely talked about school matters. Neville sighed.

It was clearly something he had expected.

So he explained: "They are the Death Eaters teaching here, and they are also in charge of discipline. The thing they love most is punishing students."

"Like Umbridge?"

Harry asked curiously.

After all, in his eyes, Umbridge was the most detestable person.

"Hardly. If it were just Umbridge, everyone wouldn't hate them this much.

Compared to them, Umbridge could be considered kind. They love handling all the students in detention.

In Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the Carrows use the Cruciatus Curse on students who have been given detention.

I refuse to do it, and Darren can't even cast the Cruciatus Curse, so the two of them torture Darren and me, seemingly wanting to force Darren to use the Cruciatus Curse..."

Neville said indignantly.

Ron and the others all looked at Darren.

Painful expressions appeared in their eyes.

"Darren, why didn't you say anything?"

Darren shook his head.

He revealed an embarrassed expression: "It's nothing. Actually, I'm used to it. I don't think the Cruciatus Curse hurts that much."

[Ding, Saintly Father Value +100]

[Ding, Saintly Father Value +100]

[Ding, Saintly Father Value +100]

[Ding...]

The Carrow siblings didn't dare to truly use the Cruciatus Curse on him.

They wanted to use him to make an example of someone in front of a crowd.

But unfortunately, they didn't dare use the Cruciatus Curse on him at all, so they could only use other spells as a substitute.

It didn't hurt, and it even helped strengthen the body.

"No matter what, we waited for your return. You will definitely lead us to do great things!"

Neville looked at Darren and nodded, shouting excitedly.

"Even though we were all tortured by them before, Darren didn't give up. He led us to graffiti the walls with contact information for the Potter Club and things like that.

Later, he even restarted the D.A., and we organized ourselves once again.

Darren made them so angry they wanted to kill every time..."

"It's a pity that after Easter, because Darren went to rescue you and wasn't at school, our treatment immediately worsened.

Especially my refusal to give up—it really ticked them off. They started to think that perhaps there was one person who could make me quiet down, and that was my grandmother.

Yes, they believed that if they caught my grandmother, I would definitely behave.

But Darren must have known this news in advance; he sent people to take my grandmother away. My grandmother even left me a note.

She said she had never been so happy to realize that I am just like my father—we are both heroes!"

Neville said happily.

Then he stepped through a passageway and continued: "After that, when they discovered my grandmother had escaped, they decided to stop being patient with me.

But Darren had already notified me long ago; he suggested I hide in the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.

But I thought, if I left, and you guys came back, you wouldn't even know a single thing.

So I hid in the Room of Requirement... I stayed there for two days. I thought I was about to starve to death, thinking it would be great if I could go out and find food.

Then this passageway appeared, and Aberforth was right there. He gave me food...

Later, as more and more people were being tortured, I suggested everyone hide here.

The facilities here are fantastic, and there's no shortage of food or drink. We are just waiting for you now, waiting for you to return here once again!"

Neville looked at Harry and Darren excitedly.

He stepped across a threshold again.

Then he pushed open a door.

He shouted loudly and happily: "Look! I brought Darren and Harry back!"
