Chapter 992
Darren's words made Hagrid happy.
He returned to his usual happy self.
It was just that he wasn't without change.
He now really wanted to retaliate; he kept praising Darren.
And he even tried to get him to take first place.
"Darren, you are the little wizard I have admired the most for so many years; you were thrown into the battlefield where they were fighting as soon as you were born.
Then you grew up in an orphanage, you were bullied by those Muggles.
Dumbledore said, if they hadn't gone in time, you would definitely have been beaten to death by that Muggle.
But you are still so kind, so likeable...
You grew up in Harry's shadow, everyone at the time thought your life would be very difficult, but you still bravely survived.
Darren, promise me, become the most powerful champion of the Triwizard Tournament! You defeat them openly and honestly, tell them, so what if they are pure-blood?
Pure-blood can only be stepped under your feet, the students of the entire Hogwarts can't even compare to one of you!"
He said loudly.
Darren showed an embarrassed expression.
Then he said very sincerely: "Hagrid, I really didn't suffer in Hogwarts.
During that time in the orphanage before, I felt that although it was slightly difficult, I could endure it..."
【Ding, Saint Father value +100】
【Ding, Saint Father value +100】
【Ding, Saint Father value +100】
【Ding...】
His sincere words didn't make anyone believe him.
Because they felt he had lived a miserable life.
He almost died when he was in the orphanage.
He lived an even more tumultuous life in Hogwarts.
At the very beginning, he was thrown into Slytherin.
Those students were all mocking him.
The students of the entire Hogwarts were all saying he wasn't a good person.
He lived in deep water and scorching fire every day, how could he have lived well? He was always so kind, so simple.
Even until now, he was still saying that the Slytherin students were good to him.
But whether they were good or not, Hermione, who had entered his dormitory, considered herself to have a complete right to speak.
He was mocked by the entire Slytherin, excluded by all of Slytherin.
Maybe only a few Slytherin girls could be a bit good to him, but that was of no use at all, he still lived so pitifully.
Because of their disbelief, Darren could only show an expression of trying to explain but not being believed.
He thought, if they finally knew the truth in the future, he could also explain it as: he explained, but they didn't believe it.
Just like when he was in his first year, helping Snape explain that he was a good person, but they didn't believe it, so he showed such an expression.
In the end, everyone discovered Snape hadn't done anything bad, and thinking about the words he explained before, they felt he was always so simple, never having doubted Snape.
Now it was the same.
In order not to collapse his character in the future, Darren naturally showed such a conflicted expression.
Anyway, as a little Saint Father, it was impossible for him to have any flaws...
After coming out of Hagrid's place.
Harry was extremely decadent.
Because Hagrid didn't just want Darren to get first place, he even wanted Harry to get second.
He said they both had to become the best people, so that those people would realize that pure-blood wizards were worth nothing.
Harry didn't have the face to tell Hagrid that he hadn't learned the spells Darren taught him yet.
And even the Gillyweed that was the only possibility for him to pass smoothly, he didn't know if the pharmacy still sold it.
Because that was also a very precious medicinal herb, a herb that could keep one breathing underwater for an hour, and could also become a main ingredient for some important potions.
Of course it was very precious.
He didn't know if he could get those things at all.
Thinking of the possibility of him embarrassing himself in the end, Harry felt extremely anxious.
However, he thought there was still time.
After all, there was still some time until February 24th.
What if he suddenly learned those spells during this time? Or, what if those pharmacies got Gillyweed?
This was always possible.
Just.
The distance to February 24th was getting closer and closer.
Two weeks... one week... five days... three days... two days... when there was only one day left.
Harry finally regretted it.
Because he still hadn't thoroughly mastered the Bubble-Head Charm.
With Darren's help, he could now maintain the Bubble-Head Charm for forty-plus minutes.
But... he needed to maintain it underwater for an hour!
This meant he would definitely become the laughingstock of Hogwarts...
Everyone would laugh at him, becoming a Triwizard Tournament champion through improper means, and then not even being able to master a Bubble-Head Charm.
The unsatisfactory Bubble-Head Charm wasn't the biggest blow to Harry; Gillyweed was the biggest.
Darren had already asked all the pharmacies.
They said they could wait a bit longer, they would be able to get a batch of Gillyweed, but that time would be after the Triwizard Tournament ended.
As for the Gillyweed in Snape's office, Harry also gathered the courage to ask, but Snape indicated that his Gillyweed had already been used up.
He even deliberately mocked Harry in class.
Saying he should have come to ask for help early, after all, no one could resist the proposal of a champion.
What a pity.
