Chapter 926

~4 min read 797 words

Darren had just come out of the common room in the morning.

Harry and Hermione were already waiting for him outside.

Harry looked very angry.

As soon as Darren saw Ron wasn't there, he guessed the situation.

But he still pretended to be completely unaware and asked: "Where's Ron? Did he sleep in?"

"Him? He won't even deal with me now!"

Harry said annoyedly.

He handed Darren a sandwich.

"The food in the Great Hall has already been cleared away; we got up late and only had time to bring you a sandwich."

"Thank you, brother!"

Darren took the sandwich and started eating it in big bites.

During this time, there was French cuisine, so he hadn't asked Dobby to prepare breakfast for him.

As a result, who knew that Cassandra and the others would block him in the common room and tell him many things to pay attention to in Slytherin.

The core was to remember to stay alive.

Run fast if there's nothing to do.

Darren naturally agreed with feigned hesitation.

Of course, he also received the amulets they sent. Even Malfoy gave him an amulet. He said to keep it on his person and not put it away randomly.

Darren looked at them.

The amulets were all good amulets. The only problem.

He really didn't need them.

After all, his dangers were all created by himself.

However, Darren could only look at them with gratitude.

Maybe it made those people feel embarrassed.

He was driven out.

He remembered those people were still carrying food; it was probably for him.

But because of their pride, he didn't get to eat a single bite.

He was extremely hungry.

Never mind that Harry brought a sandwich; even if it were excrement... oh, he wouldn't eat that.

He gnawed on the sandwich.

He was led by Hermione to the side of the Black Lake.

She took a bottle of juice out of her pocket.

Just as she was about to drink some herself.

Darren thought it was for him, so he took it and drank half the bottle in one breath; only then did he say: "Fortunately, Hermione, you brought juice, otherwise I would have choked; you are so thoughtful!"

Hermione murmured a soft "mm."

Her face was just a bit red.

Darren realized something.

【Text garbled/unintelligible】

After he cleaned up the food scraps.

Only then did he ask strangely: "Why are you arguing with Ron? Is it because of me?"

"Oh, it's not because of you, Ron is because of me!"

Harry said angrily.

He told Darren what happened last night.

He couldn't help but complain: "I don't even know what he's angry about; I've clearly been by his side the whole time, how could he think of me like that?"

Why? Jealousy, of course! Darren sighed.

Jealousy is a person's greatest original sin.

No one can not be jealous.

Just like if he were really Harry's brother, a brother without any golden finger and no time travel.

He might also be jealous.

He might even become the next Voldemort.

It's normal for Ron to be jealous.

Standing from the protagonist's perspective.

One would definitely be angry at how ungrateful Ron is.

But standing from Ron's perspective, one would definitely also feel depressed.

Inconspicuous in front of his parents since childhood.

Always bullied by his brothers, his robes were all second-hand, and even the Scabbers he hated most was inherited from Fred and the others.

Later, Ron met Harry.

Mrs. Weasley was even better to Harry than to him.

In school, one could only see Harry.

Hermione was even more of a brilliant student.

Only he knew nothing.

Although he was just an ordinary person, isn't it normal for an ordinary person to be jealous?

They are all children! Darren laughed.

"Darren, you're still laughing!"

Harry said feignedly and angrily.

Just watching Darren laugh, he couldn't help but laugh too.

No one could bear to be angry with Darren.

"Brother, Ron is just jealous... he's jealous of your savior halo, jealous of Hermione's brilliant student halo, and jealous that I'm liked by everyone."

"Bu, but..."

Harry stammered.

"I know what you mean; why didn't he show it? That's of course because he treats us as friends.

When a friend shines, he is very proud of us... but when too many shine, it will eventually leave a shadow in his heart, and a single straw will crush him.

He is jealous of us and powerless to change anything, eventually causing this kind of situation. Actually, there's my reason too; I saw it a long time ago, but I never said it out loud; I thought he could figure it out.

But I didn't expect that he wouldn't figure it out, and instead, it would become even more intense."
