Chapter 86

She cleared her throat and placed a tattered hat on a stool.

The hat was very old and patched, looking dirty.

The hat twisted a few times and began to sing:

You may think I'm not pretty

But don't judge a book by its cover

If you can find a hat prettier than me

I can eat myself

Come and wear me! Don't be afraid

In my hands

You are absolutely safe

Because I am a hat that can think!

After the hat finished singing, applause thundered.

"So we just have to wear this hat; who said we had to duel a troll?"

Ron shouted in annoyance.

Darren stood out "embarrassed" and said guiltily: "Sorry, it was me who said it, I heard... I heard it from someone else, sorry..."

【Saintly Points +50】

Madam Pomfrey, sitting at the edge of the teachers' table, smiled gently.

This child...

Is truly extremely cute.

Darren accepted these Saintly Points, and then his excellent ears heard Ron snort, followed by him whispering bad things about him to Harry.

Saying he and that Slytherin old witch Becky must be together.

Evil, vicious!

Darren rolled his eyes secretly.

Oh, youth!

If you say I'm evil, then I have nothing to say.

But you say such a beautiful lady is evil; where is your conscience?

Young people don't know the value of a senior, mistaking a lolita for a treasure!

He was somewhat unhappy and wanted to step forward to exert his saintly radiance, but his shoulder was pressed down by a small hand.

It was Cassandra again.

Darren was a bit anxious and pulled Cassandra's hand down.

He was busy farming Saintly Points right now and didn't want to bicker with this girl; don't stop him!

"If you go over there, I'll tell Professor McGonagall to have you and that boy expelled together!"

Darren was stunned.

Is that necessary?

He just wants to be a saint, and they want to expel him?

"I believe with your character, you wouldn't want him to be expelled, right?"

Cassandra said with an expression that seemed to have seen through Darren.

Darren opened his mouth.

That's true.

Although he knew Dumbledore couldn't possibly expel him, he couldn't know that with his current identity.

So he pursed his lips, sighed, and stood where he was, feeling frustrated.

So sad.

If he had gone over to lecture Ron, he should have been able to gain Saintly Points!

【Ding, Saintly Points +10】

Hmm?

Who gave this?

Giving alms to a beggar?

Is he, Darren, someone who can be bought for 10 Saintly Points?

【Ding, Saintly Points +50】

Huh?

Was this an addition, or did someone else see his inner strength despite his pretense and send him their gratitude?

Darren scratched his hair.

He accepted these Saintly Points with satisfaction.

At the same time.

Snape on the stage also withdrew his gaze extremely quickly.

He fixed his gaze on the tableware in front of him.

His hollow eyes didn't know what they were thinking.

Darren didn't notice Snape.

His gaze was already fixed on the Sorting Hat.

He didn't know if this hat would listen to him and put him into Slytherin.

He suspected Dumbledore could control this hat.

What if Dumbledore insisted on stuffing him into Gryffindor?

Thinking of this, Darren felt a little anxious now.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall walked to the front with a piece of parchment.

She called out: Hannah Abbott.

Darren nodded.

Flowing Hannah, iron-clad Abbott.

"Hufflepuff!"

"Susan Bones"

"Hufflepuff!"

"Terry Boot"

"Ravenclaw!"

"..."

Darren pricked up his ears, waiting for his name to be called.

Until.

"Harry Potter!"

The Great Hall suddenly went quiet.

Darren widened his eyes, making an excited expression, tilting his head and standing on tiptoe as if trying to see what Harry looked like.

But when he saw Harry's appearance, he suddenly opened his mouth in shock.

"Brother..."

He seemed to have never expected that the boy he had helped earlier was his brother.

He was so happy he wanted to say hello, but thinking this was the Great Hall and Harry's sorting ceremony was about to happen, he couldn't embarrass his brother, so he hurriedly stood "obediently" in place.

A pair of emerald green eyes were bright and shiny.

【Ding, Saintly Points +100】

【Ding, Saintly Points +50】

【Ding, Saintly Points +80】

【Ding...】

Following Darren's performance, nearly five hundred Saintly Points were suddenly credited.
