Chapter 818

Then, just as they were about to relax and wait, they saw Dumbledore and Fudge returning from outside the castle.

Dumbledore and the others were chatting and laughing, passing by here with ease.

Then they left.

"Do you think we should stop Dumbledore?"

Harry asked hurriedly.

"Impossible. If you stop Dumbledore, then Fudge will come along too.

Then, they would discover that we used a Time-Turner and that we saved Buckbeak.

Most importantly, they won't listen to our explanation; they will hit Black with a Killing Curse directly!"

Hermione said with a sneer.

She thought Harry was extremely childish.

Darren would never ask such a silly question!

"We could leave Fudge out of it..."

Harry argued.

"Look, Remus is coming!"

Just as they were arguing, Darren interrupted them.

They saw Lupin running over quickly from the distance.

Then he leaned over to look at Harry's Invisibility Cloak.

He seemed to confirm something.

Then, he picked up a branch from the ground and poked the knot on the Whomping Willow.

He left through the passage under the Whomping Willow.

"I wish he had taken the Invisibility Cloak with him, then Snape wouldn't have one to use!"

Harry said indignantly.

Then he came up with an idea.

"I'm going to take the Invisibility Cloak; I won't let Snape use it..."

He was about to rush out immediately, but a burst of singing interrupted his movement.

It was Hagrid.

Hagrid was singing, carrying a flagon of wine as he approached.

Hermione grabbed Harry's clothes and scolded him angrily: "Enough, can you stop causing trouble? If someone finds us here, we're all finished.

We aren't supposed to be here right now, and if we interrupt what is happening in the past, we won't be able to know the future.

Our time will fall into chaos!"

Hermione was furious.

Harry was still a bit unwilling.

He waited for Hagrid to leave, eager to try again.

But Snape had already arrived.

He appeared at the Whomping Willow in a flash.

He picked up the Invisibility Cloak.

"Damn it! If it weren't for him, Sirius Black would have been cleared of his crimes already!"

"But brother, Professor Snape doesn't know those things; he just wants revenge.

If he weren't so eager for revenge, you wouldn't have been able to hurt him at all."

【Ding, Saintly Value +10】

【Ding, Saintly Value +10】

Very little Saintly Value.

Snape was still so unpopular.

"Eager for revenge? How is that possible?"

Harry couldn't imagine Snape being eager for revenge.

"I don't know either, but I feel he cares a lot about our mom and dad's affairs. Remus said Dad once stopped him... perhaps even though he hated Dad back then, he also formed a deep friendship with him?"

【Ding, Saintly Value +20】

【Ding, Saintly Value +10】

Still very little Saintly Value.

Because Harry and Hermione simply couldn't imagine Snape and James forming a friendship.

However, regardless of whether Snape could have formed a deep friendship with James, they could only wait now.

Because everyone had gone inside.

They could only wait outside for the result.

Hermione tied Buckbeak to the tree.

She sat under the tree, and finally, as if remembering something, she asked Darren.

"Darren, do you think Black really threw you away because of your strangeness?"

This was something she still couldn't quite understand.

Harry turned to look at her, bewildered.

"What else could it be? It's not like he discovered Darren had some relation to Voldemort, right?"

His joking remark almost made Darren think he had traveled back from the series finale.

Fortunately, Harry was just joking.

Hermione shook her head quickly and said: "Of course I didn't mean that. I know Darren definitely has nothing to do with Voldemort. I was just thinking.

Could Mr. Black have handed Darren over to the Death Eaters just because of his strangeness... We all know that in the hands of the Death Eaters, Darren would only have a dead end. Did he really not think about that?"

Hermione's words made Harry's face look rather ugly.

He pursed his lips.

He didn't seem to have any rebuttal.

He had never realized so clearly that Black had once truly wanted Darren's life.

【Ding, detected a scene where the Saintly System can be utilized. Issuing a temporary mission:

Tell Harry and Hermione in a gentle tone that you don't care about this point.

Even if Black really did such a thing, it only represents that Black loved your mom and dad, and you are honored to have a relative like him.】

【Ding, upon completion of the mission, you will receive the reward: Kreacher's respect. Do you accept the mission?】

Kreacher?

That house-elf from the Black family?

【Accept】

Darren clicked accept immediately.

It was just a few words! So he looked at Harry.

The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a gentle and bright smile.

"Don't be like that, brother. I'm not sad. On the contrary, when I heard Black say this news, I was very happy and honored."

As soon as he finished speaking, Darren saw the shocked expressions on Harry and Hermione's faces.

They probably thought he had gone crazy.

It would be good enough not to be angry at Black's behavior, yet he was happy and honored.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm really happy..."

Because Sirius did that for Mom and Dad and for your safety; he wanted you to be safe and sound.

He loved Mom and Dad very much, and for that, he didn't hesitate to do such a thing. I think Sirius must have regretted it deeply after doing it.

He has been staying in Azkaban just to atone for his sins. I think no matter how big a mistake he made against me back then, he should be forgiven now.

And brother, Sirius is your godfather. I know he must have been embarrassed at the time and didn't want to talk about this.

But I want you to know that you have a godfather too, brother. You have relatives other than me.

This way, even if I die in the future, I think you won't be too sad." Darren revealed a saintly smile.

Harry burst into tears.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't say silly things. You will always be my younger brother, you are irreplaceable..." ===== CHAPTER 820 =====
