Chapter 968: Dance Partner!!

Darren's words made Hermione sad yet moved.

However, she also believed that Darren hadn't "opened his mind" and hadn't thought too much about it.

So she didn't have the courage to say anything more.

The relationship of changing from friends to lovers always needs to be extremely cautious.

Because once it doesn't work out, you can't even be friends anymore.

Hermione was not such a foolish girl.

So she pretended not to take that sentence to heart and breezed through that awkward time.

Fortunately.

Darren pretended to be unaware and brought up the matter of Rita Skeeter.

Although he followed Harry and the others' advice not to worry too much about Hagrid.

But he couldn't just not ask a single word? Hagrid felt a bit guilty.

Because Darren and the others didn't let him accept Rita Skeeter's interview.

But he had secretly accepted an interview now.

However, he didn't think there was any problem.

What he felt unhappy about was that Rita Skeeter wasn't very interested in those magical creatures.

"She kept secretly asking about Harry; she seemed interested in Harry.

And she even asked me how I should evaluate Harry's performance? Asked if Harry needed some criticism?

I was extremely angry; I told her Harry is my friend.

From the moment I took him away from the Dursleys, we have been friends; he has no problems.

In the end, I kicked her out; I really should have listened to you guys, that way perhaps there wouldn't have been such an incident."

Harry sighed.

He had thought Rita Skeeter was really interested in Hagrid's affairs.

He didn't expect Rita Skeeter to be interested in him after all.

"After all, you are a Triwizard Tournament champion... Don't tell me why she doesn't go to Darren; that's naturally because she's afraid of Darren.

Just say, after that punch from Darren, who wouldn't be afraid?"

Ron said with a smile.

Harry also laughed out loud.

But after he finished laughing, he said unhappily: "If she really wants to know my bad deeds, she should go find Snape.

Snape would definitely tell her that for these past few years, I've had privileges everywhere, never studied properly, and only thought about causing trouble every day."

He muttered.

This made Ron and Darren laugh.

Except for Hermione.

She frowned and said: "Rita Skeeter is still digging into Harry's affairs? This is really not a good thing; I'm very worried about what strange things she will write when the time comes."

This was indeed a worrying thing.

As they walked toward the castle, they couldn't laugh.

Of course, what made Harry even more miserable was that he still hadn't found a dance partner.

Those girls were all girls who wanted to get close to Darren.

As soon as he showed the intention of wanting to invite them, those girls started tentatively asking for news about Darren.

Some even tried to get him to take Darren's personal belongings.

This left Harry speechless.

He complained to Ron that the girls in the castle were simply sick.

He couldn't even tell the difference between those women and the people who wanted to harm Darren.

After all, these people all wanted Darren's personal belongings.

One kind seemed to want his life, the other kind seemed to want to collect them.

Of course, Harry didn't tell Darren about these trivial matters.

He believed that if he told Darren, Darren might really generously give his things away.

After all, Darren was always this kind.

He didn't have a shred of defensiveness against others.

The last week before Christmas.

The atmosphere in the school was very thick.

Some professors saw that everyone was absent-minded and simply stopped teaching.

For example, Professor Flitwick was like this.

He let the other students play games, and then pulled Darren over to discuss the spells he used in the Triwizard Tournament.

Because he saw quite a few spells adapted by Darren in there; for example, the ordinary Levitation Charm couldn't fly that high at all.

But Darren was able to do it.

"This was in the third year... when I was saving my brother, this idea suddenly flashed through my mind, I thought about it this way..."

Darren and Professor Flitwick discussed for an entire class. It made Professor Flitwick keep exclaiming that he was a genius. Although he had known Darren was a genius since the first year.

But the feeling of discussing with a genius was just too comfortable.

Finally, the class ended, and Professor Flitwick was still left wanting more.

He even made an appointment to continue the discussion next time.

Just like Professor Binns.

Death hadn't stopped his enthusiasm for teaching, let alone a small Christmas.

So Darren could only listen to this Professor Binns talk about a goblin war as boringly as a boss holding a meeting.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Moody wouldn't let them be idle either.

They kept them studying until the very last second of class.

As for Snape.

He would probably rather have tea with Harry with a pleasant face than watch them play games.

He hated them playing games the most. ===== CHAPTER 970 =====
