Chapter 973

Last night, I fell asleep while holding it in there, and then I accidentally opened it, and finally, I heard what was inside."

"Oh, Darren, I told you long ago not to be so tired; you actually fell asleep in the bathroom, you could have choked to death!"

Hermione said worriedly.

Darren hurriedly showed an embarrassed expression. This made everyone else hold back whatever else they had to say.

Because everyone knew, why would Darren be like this?

Wasn't it all for him and Harry, wasn't it all so that Hermione and the others wouldn't have to worry?

While he was racking his brains day and night to figure out this golden egg, not a single one of them had thought of a way to help him.

Of course.

Hermione had helped him.

But even Hermione hadn't thought he would be this tired.

"I won't do this next time."

Darren showed a guilty expression. This made him appear even more pitiful.

And so.

No one had the heart to say another word to him...

The entire morning of Christmas, besides eating, was playing games.

After they read Black's letter on the lawn outside, they returned to the common room.

Because it was too cold.

They played in the common room for the whole morning.

In the afternoon, after the sun came out a bit, they had a snowball fight outside the castle.

Finally, five o'clock arrived.

Hermione thought she needed to go dress up.

"But there are still three hours until it starts!"

Ron looked at her in disbelief.

But Hermione didn't pay him any mind; she rolled her eyes, looked at Darren with a shy smile, and ran off.

There was no Christmas tea today.

Because there would be some at the ball.

And the school's professors probably thought they wouldn't be in the mood for tea today.

So Darren and the others returned to their respective dormitories.

They needed to change into formal robes.

Because it was Christmas, there weren't many people in the common room.

But there were still a few girls who were already dressed up, discussing things there like ladies.

Seeing Darren walk in, their faces flushed, and they started hovering around him without leaving a trace.

There were beautiful butterflies on their robes; thanks to magic, those butterflies were flapping their wings as if ready to fly.

As if they were about to fly off their robes at any moment.

Darren politely complimented them.

And after passing by a few more groups of girls, he finally returned to his dormitory.

His formal robes were quite normal.

Dark green robes, and he paired them with a Slytherin-limited edition green scarf that Hermione had given him.

A proper handsome Slytherin boy.

He stood in front of the mirror and was almost moved to tears by his own handsomeness.

His mirror was even more full of praise.

It kept praising Darren for having great fashion sense; if it could, it really wanted to take a picture of Darren as he was now.

Darren was so puffed up with confidence by its blowing that he almost walked out arrogantly.

But for the sake of his persona.

He still looked in the mirror, made sure he was indeed looking gentle and refined, and only then walked out with a smile.

The moment Darren walked out, the eyes of all the girls in the Slytherin common room lit up.

If they hadn't remembered Slytherin's reserve, they would have gone up to ask for a signed photo long ago.

Of course, even so, their gazes remained hotly glued to Darren.

Darren felt the gazes of these girls were no less intense than the gazes he had when looking at girls back then—sure enough, girls also look at handsome guys, of course, they must be handsome enough.

And he, happened to be the one who was handsome enough.

Of course, this handsomeness also brought him some trouble.

For example, when he walked to the entrance hall, it was no longer just Slytherin girls.

The reserve that Slytherin girls had didn't work at all with the Gryffindor girls.

Darren heard girls whistling at him.

Good heavens, this is truly "Yin strong, Yang weak"!
