Chapter 827

~6 min read 1,134 words

Hermione, Ron, and Harry went to see him off, leaving only Darren standing in the office, pretending to be sad and unwilling to face the scene of parting.

"Oh, Darren, parting is something everyone has to face constantly.

I think there will always be a period of time every year that allows you to understand the meaning of this sentence."

Dumbledore came in and said with a smile.

Darren looked at him, trying his best to reveal a painful and sad smile.

As if wanting to say he was already fine.

But Dumbledore was even more helpless.

"Alright, Darren, if you really don't want to smile, then don't."

"Sorry, Headmaster Dumbledore... I just can't accept it.

Remus left after everyone knew his identity as a werewolf. I think for a long time, he won't be able to find a job...

No one will be willing to have him. I can't even imagine what his life will be like after he leaves.

Before, when I first saw him on the train, his robes were patched, and his face was sallow and thin.

It was hard for him to work at the school for a while to recover, but now he's been driven out... I'm really worried."

【Ding, Saintly Value +100】

Darren rubbed his eyes.

He stood there, looking extremely sad.

"Understandable... I think I understand, you don't care about the parting, but are thinking about his future life... Darren, has anyone told you that you are really warm?"

Dumbledore asked with a smile.

Darren hurriedly revealed an embarrassed expression.

But he immediately said as if he had thought of something: "Headmaster Dumbledore, can I let Remus work at the Rosiers' place?

I mean, if Remus can't find a job, I can provide one for him.

Of course, if you could tell him that it was a job you found for him, that would be great. I think he wouldn't be willing to let me find a job for him.

After all, after all, he is my godfather, he always wants to pretend to be omnipotent in front of me..."

【Ding, Saintly Value +100】

"Mmph, this idea is good, but I have another condition. If you can do it, I will agree!"

Dumbledore laughed.

Darren nodded hurriedly.

Clearly, he didn't worry at all about whether he could agree to the condition Dumbledore proposed; he just wanted Remus to live better.

"It's very simple, that is, during the summer vacation, I hope you can come to my house to stay... as a guest, yes, stay for a period of time."

Dumbledore blinked with a smile, and he also said happily: "Perhaps there is another person who wants to see you, after all, you took in his subordinate."

Darren looked at him in astonishment.

"Is, is Grindel..."

"Mmph, it's him, but you don't have to worry about him doing anything else... Nurmengard could never hold him."

"Darren... I think he regretted it later, so now he wants to see you."

"See you, the kind of person who can take in his subordinate." Dumbledore said softly.

Darren curled his lip inside.

Good guy.

Isn't it just the two of you, a couple, coming to see the child, and you're blowing it up to be so high and mighty? When he took in Rosier before, why didn't you let him be a guest?

Isn't it just that Grindelwald is afraid that Dumbledore will be unhappy if he sees him?

The two of them are together, and even if they don't have children, it turns out one of them actually has a child.

And such a big child at that.

Although it was a coincidence, who knows when he might get angry.

So Grindelwald probably never dared to say he wanted to see him in front of Dumbledore.

This time, it should be because he discovered that he also has Dumbledore's bloodline in his body, so the two of them got excited.

Preparing to live a life as a family of three? Darren complained in his heart.

But on the surface, he still nodded obediently.

"I will go see him, don't worry!"

Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, he intended to summarize by saying some words to cheer Darren up, but instead, he saw Darren looking at him with some regret.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, although Sirius left yesterday and I was very happy, I let Peter go... I caused Sirius to be unable to clear his name, and also caused them not to get revenge. I feel like I harmed Sirius."

【Ding, Saintly Value +100】

【Ding, Saintly Value +100】

Darren's eyes were red... but he quickly held it back.

Incidentally, he noticed Harry, who seemed to have walked to the door.

Harry was clearly listening to their conversation, but he should have just arrived.

After all, it was only when this sentence came out that he gained his Saintly Value.

Dumbledore laughed.

He didn't seem to see Darren's sadness and said: "Child, do you know? Fate is sometimes so wonderful.

You cannot predict what will happen in the next second, nor can you avoid those things. All you can do is welcome them...

Darren, adults have to pay for all the decisions they make.

Just like Sirius, that night, he didn't explain his motives, didn't honestly tell me everything.

That's why he has his current imprisonment, and also his current inability to clear his name."

"That's because he was guilty..."

"Yes, yes, he was very guilty, but he did wrong...

I cannot condemn him, because I might have lost my mind like that in that situation, but what's done is done, and he must bear the consequences.

Last night, if you had let him kill Peter Pettigrew, do you think his name would have been cleared?

No, it wouldn't have been cleared. The Ministry of Magic wouldn't believe that he was an innocent person carrying Peter Pettigrew's corpse.

And because he and Lupin worked together to kill someone, it would have led to more than just him going to Azkaban.

So, child, although you let Peter Pettigrew go, you also saved both of them. Your decision was not wrong."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

Darren seemed much better, but he immediately said guiltily: "I must have caused you trouble yesterday, I even attacked Minister Fudge, I am the one who should be thrown into Azkaban."

"Mmph, Darren, I just said, adults must pay for their actions, but minors don't have to. You are still a child!

Think on the bright side, there has never been a minister like him.

I think if I were at your age, I might have done something even more excessive, I might have even taken his life!"

Dumbledore said coldly.

But after seeing Darren's worried eyes, he immediately changed his words.

"Just a joke, don't worry, my child!"
