Chapter 933
They believed that Rita Skeeter had taken Darren's money.
When Darren took Veritaserum, she deliberately went easy on him.
Rita Skeeter desperately wanted to say that she had been disguised.
But because she herself wasn't someone who could stand up to scrutiny.
So she didn't dare to report it.
She could only accept this injustice.
But she believed in her heart that the person who disguised her definitely had something to do with Darren. In order not to be disguised again.
For the past two years, Rita Skeeter had glossed over any news about Darren, wishing she could make Darren completely invisible.
Even when Darren was taken away as a hostage by those Death Eaters last time, she hadn't mentioned Darren's name.
Throughout the whole thing, she referred to Darren as the fourteen-year-old boy.
This time was the same.
Seeing Darren, she turned her head away in disgust, looking as if she never wanted to see him again.
Darren, of course, didn't want to see her either.
So he just nodded politely to Rita Skeeter and turned to start talking to Fleur and Harry.
Rita Skeeter, who was indifferent to Darren, had a particularly high interest in Harry. While Darren was talking to Fleur, she grabbed Harry.
"Harry Potter, I would like to conduct a small interview here, is that okay?" Although Harry knew Rita Skeeter wasn't a good person.
But he remembered that when Darren was on trial, Rita Skeeter had actually helped Darren.
So he nodded without objection.
Rita Skeeter took him to a small room where brooms were kept.
"Is it okay if I use a Quick-Quotes Quill?"
She asked quickly.
Before Harry could speak, her quill was already prepared.
Then she looked at Harry happily and asked: "First question, Harry Potter, why did you choose to sign up for the Triwizard Tournament?"
"I didn't..."
Harry explained hurriedly.
"No need to cover it up, you completely failed to meet the conditions!"
Rita Skeeter ignored his defense.
Harry was furious.
He had explained this question countless times during this period, but no one believed he was innocent.
"I didn't at all, Darren will also testify for me!"
"So, Darren Potter was also involved in your cheating plan?"
Rita Skeeter became excited.
Her quill danced on the parchment.
Harry saw a line of text appear on it.
... With the help of Darren Potter, this Savior boy finally realized his dream and solidified his Savior image...
Harry was furious.
"No, he didn't, I'm telling you, he will testify for me, I didn't sign up for the Triwizard Tournament!"
Harry shouted angrily.
Rita Skeeter frowned.
She disappointedly crossed out the line above.
But she immediately had some other questions.
Harry was asked until he was overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Darren thought of him.
He walked into this broom closet.
Only then did Harry look as if he were relieved of a burden; he was taken out of the room by Darren.
Rita Skeeter could only look at their backs in anger.
She desperately wanted to grab Darren and write a bunch of nonsense.
But for some reason, she just felt that if she provoked this boy who looked especially easy to bully, she might be very unlucky.
Because of this intuition.
So Rita Skeeter finally released Harry under Darren's gaze. She muttered and walked out from inside as well.
Harry originally wanted to tell Darren about the questions Rita Skeeter asked inside.
But as soon as he came out, he saw Ludo Bagman.
He said excitedly: "Alright, children, everyone is here, now we need to proceed to the first step, checking the wands!"
"Yes, the wands must be kept in a normal state."
It was Ollivander.
Everything seemed like it was yesterday.
At that time, he was brought to the wand shop by Hagrid and got his wand. He looked at Darren.
Darren also seemed a bit dazed.
Harry thought Darren must also be remembering the time he bought his wand.
That was truly a magical experience...
