Chapter 741: Make them run fast!!
Darren finished speaking.
Everyone below the stage revealed various expressions.
Some were afraid, some were firm, and of course, there were also those who were disgusted and fearful.
Darren didn't rush to comfort them right now.
He just looked at Slytherin.
"You guys go first!"
Cassandra said without hesitation: "I want to stay. I'm seventeen. As an adult, wherever I go is up to me!"
Darren looked at her, and she met his gaze without any timidity.
"I, Cassandra, have never backed down!"
"The Vole family..."
Darren tried to say something.
But Cassandra interrupted him.
"What the Vole family did has nothing to do with me, but what you, Darren Potter, do has everything to do with me. I think no one in Slytherin doesn't know I like you.
I'm staying to help the person I love most. I think there's no problem with that at all, and you, Darren Potter, you can't stop me!"
Darren's eyes turned red.
He turned his head away.
He still wanted to perform a little more.
Suddenly, a voice echoed throughout Hogwarts.
It was Voldemort.
"I know you are preparing to escape, but we have guarded all the exits.
However, you are not without a way out. As long as you hand over Harry Potter, I will spare everyone in Hogwarts.
I will only wait until midnight. After midnight, we will attack Hogwarts. I hope you consider it clearly!"
The voice vanished.
Then Crabbe shouted loudly: "Harry Potter is right here, hand him over to the Dark Lord!"
Darren looked at Crabbe.
Then he raised his wand.
"Stupefy!"
Crabbe fell to the ground.
Darren looked at everyone.
"I don't care what you think, but I will protect my brother. As long as I am alive, I will not allow anyone to hurt my brother!"

[Ding...]
After he finished speaking.
All the students raised their wands.
They didn't point their wands at Harry, but at Slytherin.
Cassandra walked out from Slytherin.
A few more Slytherin students walked toward the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw areas.
As for the other students.
They were pale and motionless.
Darren didn't make things difficult for them.
He said calmly: "Alright, everyone put down your wands. I believe you are all students, and I don't think you would go so far as to cross swords.
So, Mr. Filch, you take the Slytherin students and leave first!"
Mr. Filch nodded.
He pointed his wand at the Slytherin students.
"Hurry up, don't make me say it a second time!"
All the Slytherin students went out.
"Next is Ravenclaw!"
A portion of the Ravenclaw students went out.
"Then Hufflepuff!"
More than half of the Hufflepuff students remained standing in the Great Hall.
"Finally, Gryffindor."
Only the first-year students left from Gryffindor.
"Students below the sixth year must leave. If you don't leave, I will use my wand to knock you out and get you out. You choose one!"

[Ding, Saintly Father Value +100]
[Ding, Saintly Father Value +100]
[Ding...]
The students who remained but didn't meet the requirements revealed annoyed expressions.
Why couldn't they grow up faster?
"Darren, we heard you are going to find something, go quickly, we will drive away the rest of the people!"
It was Fred and the others.
Darren revealed a bit of unease.
He urged anxiously: "Make sure they all leave, they are still children..."
[Ding, Saintly Father Value +100]
[Ding, Saintly Father Value +100]
[Ding, Saintly Father Value +100]
[Ding...]
"Yes, yes, yes, we will handle it!"
Fred and George laughed.
Then they pushed Darren and Harry toward the outside.
Darren sighed.
He seemed a bit uneasy.
But at this moment, it really wasn't the time to be driving people away.
He revealed an anxious expression and said: "There is half an hour until midnight, we must find Ravenclaw's diadem..."
"But where is it, Darren, do you have a clue?"
Hermione asked worriedly.
Darren closed his eyes.
He seemed to be thinking.
Steak.
Sandwiches.
Mapo tofu. Kung Pao chicken.
Salmon.
As he thought, amidst Harry and the others' anxious expressions, he suddenly said: "A place to hide things, what kind of place can hide things? You tell me, what kind of place can hide things?"
Harry and the others frowned and thought hard.
But Darren had already revealed a smile.
"I'm really stupid, that sentence is the password to enter, the place to hide things inside the Room of Requirement!"
He shouted.
Harry realized.
He was just about to praise Darren.
Suddenly the entire castle vibrated.
"It's midnight, they have started the attack!"
Darren's face looked a bit ugly.
But he still calmed down.
"Go, let's find the Horcrux!"
He shouted.
Then they ran toward the eighth floor.
On the first floor, they met Hagrid. Hagrid was taking Grawp and running outside.
Seeing them, he grinned widely.
"Lads, watch me go beat them up!"
When they passed the second floor, they saw Professor McGonagall taking Neville and a few D.A. members and walking outside, they were carrying blood-stained vines in their hands.
When they ran to the third floor, the ceiling above them exploded.
Death Eaters had already rushed into the castle.
Darren used his wand to clear away the obstacles that had been blown open in front of him.
He quickened his pace.
Finally, they arrived at the Room of Requirement.
Inside, only three women remained.
Ginny, Tonks, and Neville's grandmother. Mrs. Longbottom revealed an excited expression.
She shook Darren's hand.
"Darren, do you know the situation now?"
"They have started fighting, the Death Eaters have already begun to attack Hogwarts, Neville has already gone out!"
Mrs. Longbottom nodded proudly.
"Very good, very good, he is worthy of being my grandson, I am going to help him, see you later!"
Mrs. Longbottom left.
Only Tonks and Ginny remained.
Tonks looked at Darren intently.
She asked a bit nervously: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
Next was a silence.
Tonks only kept examining Darren from head to toe.
After discovering that nothing was wrong with him, her face turned bright red.
"I'm going down too!"
She shouted hurriedly. Then she rushed down.
Ron looked at Ginny.
"Ginny, you need to go out too..."
Ginny immediately went out.
She seemed to be wishing for it.
But Darren stopped her.
He said somewhat worriedly: "Ginny... I remembered one thing, we forgot to notify the house-elves!"
"Do you want them to come up and fight? I'll go call them!"
Ginny said and was about to go down.
But Darren stopped her again.
"No, let them run fast! They have nothing to do with us, let them run fast, and take you with them by the way. Ginny, listen to me, you..."
Darren didn't finish, Ginny kissed him forcefully...
