Chapter 93

~7 min read 1,326 words

Harry echoed.

"Heh, maybe it's because you have too little homework..."

Hermione looked at them through gritted teeth...

Day after day, Harry and Ron regretted their loose lips countless times, because they truly experienced the feeling of doing their own homework.

Before, Darren would secretly lend it to them to look at for a while, and Hermione would turn a blind eye.

Now Hermione strictly forced them to write it themselves.

If they dared to copy homework, she would tell Professor McGonagall. So Ron and Hermione stayed up late every day to finish their homework.

They could only look greedily at Darren leaning comfortably on the library chair back, reading some storybooks.

But they could only look greedily.

Even Hermione wouldn't say anything to Darren.

Because Darren had already learned all the textbooks for the first year, as well as some extension books the teachers introduced they could read.

He learned more solidly than Hermione, so Hermione's requirement for him was just not to be bullied.

Just one afternoon, when Harry and Ron were in pain finishing their homework, Hagrid's note was delivered by Hedwig.

It said: It's about to hatch. Ron and Harry jumped up.

They now felt that as long as they weren't doing homework, anything was great. And it was a dragon.

How many dragons can a person see hatch in a lifetime? Hermione was persuaded by them.

They woke up Darren, who was dozing off while hugging a book, and headed straight for Hagrid's hut. By the time they arrived at Hagrid's hut.

A deep crack had already appeared on the dragon egg.

"It's about to come out!"

Hagrid said excitedly. They leaned their faces over.

Sure enough, the dragon egg began to crack into pieces.

Darren suddenly remembered the phoenix eggshell he had eaten before. So he quietly touched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ptooey!

It really was eggshell.

Fortunately, no one noticed, otherwise Darren felt his image would be ruined.

"Wow!"

Following Ron's cry.

Darren discovered that this little guy had come out completely. The moment it came out.

Darren lost interest. This thing was really ugly...

He felt this thing might be even uglier than a lizard. Spiky wings, pitch-black body.

A big nose, bumps on its head. A pair of orange-red eyes bulging outward.

Darren really wanted to chase this guy out of his sight with a broom.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Hagrid excitedly stroked Norbert. He was bitten hard on the finger by Norbert.

"Look, it recognizes its mother... I'm so moved..."

Hagrid was full of tears and even wanted Darren to touch it.

Darren glanced at the sparks this guy sprayed and suspected these sparks could set his clothes on fire.

So he smiled kindly and said obediently: "Hagrid, when little animals just crawl out of the eggshell, it's best not to use your hands; I heard there are bacteria, it will make them sick!"

[Ding, Saint Value +100] [Ding, Saint Value +50]

Darren suspected the largest Saint Value was given by Hagrid.

Because he had already been moved to tears.

The remaining one was given by Hermione; although she was somewhat disgusted by Norbert, she believed Darren's heart was kind.

As for Harry and Ron, they were too disgusted by Norbert and didn't want to get close at all, so they didn't hear Darren's words.

"Ah! It's Malfoy!"

Just as Darren was disgusted and wanted to leave to return to the library, he heard Harry shout angrily.

He rushed out quickly, only seeing Malfoy's back. So he said anxiously and worriedly: "I'll go chase Malfoy, I hope I can make him keep it a secret!"

[Ding, Saint Value +50]

[Ding, Saint Value +60] [Ding, Saint Value +100] [Ding, Saint Value +80]

Following four Saint Value entries. Darren ran faster.

That's right, he was chasing Malfoy, definitely not to avoid looking at that ugly guy.

Darren naturally didn't catch Malfoy.

After all, when he went out, he only saw Malfoy's back.

By the time he returned to the common room wanting to find Malfoy, that guy was hiding far away and wouldn't face him at all.

In order not to break his persona, Darren even tried to talk to Malfoy during class, but Malfoy ignored him completely.

It was obvious that after the last incident, Malfoy was somewhat unwilling to see Darren.

He even felt that it would be best if both sides never appeared in front of each other for the rest of their lives. For a Malfoy like this, Darren couldn't do anything about him either.

He couldn't just slap someone for no reason, right? That didn't fit his persona.

So he could only mourn for Hagrid with deep sorrow.

For the next week, while Harry and the others were watching Norbert, Darren would always say sadly that he had to go and try to persuade Malfoy again.

Hagrid was moved to tears time and time again.

But by the end, everyone understood that this lizard, Norbert, had to be sent away.

Harry suggested letting Ron's brother, Charlie, secretly take Norbert away. After communicating with Charlie, they chose to send Norbert away on Wednesday. It was just that on Wednesday, Ron was bitten by Norbert.

And the wound seemed to be infected. He had to go to the hospital wing.

Darren originally suggested that since Ron couldn't go, he would take Norbert to the roof.

Sending this guy off was something he could do. But Harry refused him.

He thought Darren was too weak and might be bitten by Norbert.

If Darren also ended up in the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey would really suspect they were raising a dragon.

So they let Darren wait downstairs, and he and Hermione wore the Invisibility Cloak to take Norbert to the roof to give to Charlie.

Darren could only wear the Invisibility Cloak Snape gave him and stand downstairs on guard.

He remembered that in the original work, Malfoy seemed to have discovered Charlie's letter from Ron's book and would snitch to Professor McGonagall; maybe he could still farm some Saint Value.

Sure enough, not long after Harry and the others left, Malfoy brought Professor McGonagall over.

"Professor McGonagall, I heard them say the word 'dragon'; they plan to send the dragon away tonight; if you go late, they'll be gone!"

"Impossible, there absolutely won't be a dragon in the castle, Malfoy; don't you try to deceive me.

You come upstairs with me now; I'm going to hand you over to Filch and have him put you in detention!"

Professor McGonagall didn't believe a word Malfoy said. This child almost got Darren expelled!

Darren was standing right next to the two of them wearing the Invisibility Cloak, and hearing the conversation between Malfoy and Professor McGonagall, he almost laughed out loud.

Malfoy had no credibility with Professor McGonagall right now. But he, this little saint, should make his appearance now.

It was just that as he was planning to apologize to Professor McGonagall, the system triggered a mission.

[Ding, detected a scene for the Saint System to function around the host, now issuing a temporary mission:

Wear the Invisibility Cloak to a hidden location, take off the Invisibility Cloak, and then stop Professor McGonagall with a trembling body.

After Professor McGonagall asks if you were tricked into coming here, insist that you came here yourself, and delay for ten minutes.]

[Ding, after completing the mission, you will receive the Soul Healing Spell; does the host accept the mission?]

[Accept]

Darren was overjoyed; he hadn't farmed a mission with such a good reward in a long time.

If he didn't accept this mission, wouldn't he be a fool?

Looking at the requirements on the mission, Darren quickly went to a hidden location in the corridor wearing the Invisibility Cloak, and then took off the Invisibility Cloak there.

Then he swallowed his saliva, made a very frightened appearance, and walked out of the hidden location.
