Chapter 988

Moody laughed.

"It was Darren who told you, right?"

Harry wasn't surprised at all that Moody was the first to guess it was Darren's idea.

After all, Professor Moody seemed to like Darren very much.

He always laughed out loud whenever he heard things about Darren.

He had even publicly argued with Professor McGonagall, wanting Darren to become an Auror after graduation.

He believed Darren would be the most powerful Auror. But Harry didn't really want Darren to become an Auror.

Because being an Auror was too dangerous.

He couldn't imagine that if Darren became an Auror, he might be scared into not being able to sleep every night.

He might develop anxiety.

That would be too terrifying.

Of course, for now, Moody wasn't discussing with him what Darren needed to do in the future, but was asking him if it was Darren who found the clue.

This was certainly correct.

Only Darren could find clues so quickly.

Sure enough, after seeing him nod, Moody was overjoyed.

Although Harry felt that even when Moody laughed, his expression was very ferocious.

"I knew it, he is the strongest!"

Moody said excitedly.

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he looked at Harry.

"Alright, Potter, you hurry back!"

Harry could only stand up and walk toward the library.

When he walked a few steps and looked back.

He saw Moody open his map again, looking as serious as if he were studying some major national affair.

He must be studying the Crouch and Snape business!

He hoped Moody would suddenly discover Snape was a big jerk and then throw him into Azkaban, so he would wake up laughing in his dreams!

"You said you haven't found the clue to the golden egg yet?"

Hermione raised her voice; Harry hurriedly glanced at Professor Flitwick in the classroom.

Fortunately, he was turning around and pointing out the use of the Banishing Charm to everyone.

"Keep your voice down, anyway Darren has already figured it out, I just need to think about it a bit more, it doesn't affect the competition at all!"

He said angrily.

Clearly Darren had figured it out long ago, but Hermione wouldn't let Darren tell him, insisting he use his own brain.

This was really an infuriating thing.

"But..."

Hermione still wanted to say something, but Harry refused to listen to her continue.

"Alright, don't mention such minor matters, what I need to tell you is another thing, and that is that I met Moody yesterday..."

Harry told them about meeting Moody.

This shocked Ron and Hermione.

Even Darren showed an expression of disbelief.

Of course, he was pretending.

He had long known Snape's identity and Snape's past; he probably knew only a little less than Snape himself.

"Snape himself said Moody really searched his office?"

Ron asked excitedly.

He felt the same disgust toward Snape.

Darren opened his mouth wanting to say something, but Harry immediately said: "Darren, don't think I'm making things up, this is true, both Moody and Snape said it, I couldn't possibly lie to you.

I'm just wondering, why did Moody say Snape is a person full of stains?"

"Could it be that he thinks it was Snape who threw your name into the Goblet of Fire?"

Ron asked suspiciously.

But after saying this, even he didn't believe it himself.

Because Snape was furious at the time.

He seemed to feel that neither Harry nor Darren deserved to get that spot.

The champion of the Goblet of Fire should be a pure-blood student from Slytherin.

So, saying Snape put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire was simply a fantasy.

"Brother, you always look at Professor Snape with the eyes that he is a bad person... actually, he really is just worried about us.

When he knew you and I were chosen as champions, his anger was the anger of thinking we were being plotted against.

You forgot, in the first year, he didn't do anything bad at all, he is a good person."

【Ding, Saint Father value +10】

【Ding, Saint Father value +20】

【Ding, Saint Father value +100】

Only Hermione was moved by Darren's words.

Harry and Ron were both unimpressed.

They both felt Darren had been brainwashed by the old bat.

Or perhaps Darren was too kind.

He always couldn't see the parts of others that were annoying, always feeling that others were good people.

This had been shown many times before.

Of course.

They also had no way to refute what Darren said.

Because in the first year, Snape indeed didn't harm them; the one who harmed them was Quirrell.

Darren was right about this.

It was just that making them believe Snape was a good person was impossible.

Even if Snape was just standing there, they would feel Snape was brewing some bad thing.

It was just that they weren't willing to tell Darren all this.

Because Darren was too kind, he wouldn't believe such things at all.

So Harry and Ron exchanged a look to talk about it later.

He prepared to talk to Ron about this matter after class.

And for the latter part of the class.

He kept secretly asking Darren about the clues to the golden egg.

And carefully avoided Hermione, fearing Hermione wouldn't let Darren tell him.

After knowing about the Black Lake and the merpeople from Darren, Harry was extremely worried.

"I can't swim at all!"

He said desperately.

He had been a landlubber since he was a child.

He had never been in the water either; this sounded even more difficult to him than getting their eggs from in front of a dragon.

Seeing Harry looking miserable, Darren laughed.

"Isn't that easy? You use a Bubble-Head Charm, and you'll be able to breathe underwater." Harry's eyes lit up.

But when he started practicing the Bubble-Head Charm, he realized that wanting to practice the Bubble-Head Charm was also very difficult.

He seemed to need a long time to learn such unfamiliar spells.

And according to the hint, they should stay underwater for an hour, but his Bubble-Head Charm only lasted for a minute or two.

Casting spells underwater...

Harry felt he couldn't quite do it.

Because when the Bubble-Head Charm failed, he might not even be able to chant the spell.
