But Ron didn't believe it.
His exact words were: Darren, I believe he didn't put his name on it, because it was Cedric who did.
Whether it was out of revenge or gratitude, he had the motive to do that.
But Harry, how could someone possibly put your name in for you? Or maybe it's an Invisibility Cloak?
Or have you found some other useful method?
I heard that if you participate in the Triwizard Tournament, you don't have to take the academy's final exam, and you might even win a thousand Galleons. Why didn't you tell me?
Harry was furious.
He kept explaining to Ron that he hadn't done that. He even went so far as to ask Darren to testify for him.
But Ron didn't even smile anymore.
He said angrily, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, making Darren testify for you... You know perfectly well that he listens to everything you say, even if it's to lie for you!"
"I'm not stupid. You said this morning that you could easily slip the note in without anyone noticing!"
Harry was furious.
That was something he said jokingly this morning!
"I thought you were joking too, but... now you make me look like a complete idiot!"

Chapter 435 Jealousy!!
Darren had just come out of the lounge that morning.
Harry and Hermione were already waiting for him outside.
Harry looked very angry.
As soon as Darren saw that Ron wasn't there, he guessed what had happened.
But he still pretended to know nothing and asked, "Where's Ron? Did he sleep in?"
"Him? He doesn't deal with me at all now!"
Harry said angrily.
He handed Darren a sandwich.
"The food in the auditorium has already been removed. We got up late and only had time to bring you a sandwich."
"Thank you brother!"
Darren took the sandwich and started eating it in big bites.
During this time, he enjoyed French cuisine and didn't ask Patsy to prepare breakfast for him.
To everyone's surprise, Cassandra and the others cornered him in the common room and told him a lot of things Slytherin should be careful about.
The core idea is to make him remember the importance of survival.
Run faster if there's nothing wrong.
Darren, of course, pretended to be hesitant and agreed.
Of course, he also received amulets from them. Even Malfoy gave him one, telling him to carry it with him and not leave it lying around.
Darren looked at it.
All the amulets are good amulets. The only problem is...
He really doesn't need it.
After all, he created all the danger for himself.
Darren could only look at them with gratitude.
Perhaps it made those people feel embarrassed.
He was kicked out.
He remembered that those people had brought food, probably for him.
But because of those people's arrogance, he didn't get a single bite.
He was extremely hungry.
Even if Harry brought sandwiches, or even excrement... well, he wouldn't eat that.
He was munching on a sandwich.
Hermione led them to the edge of the Black Lake.
She pulled a bottle of juice out of her pocket.
I was just about to have a drink myself.
Darren thought it was for him, so he took it without thinking and drank half the bottle in one go before saying, "Luckily, Hermione, you brought juice, or I would have choked. You're so thoughtful!"
Hermione gave a soft "hmm".
Her face was a little red.
Darren realized something.
The right side of his chest was marked with a long, protruding mark, and medicine was administered to warm the child's mouth.
After he cleaned up the food scraps.
Then, puzzled, he asked, "Why did you argue with Ron? Was it because of me?"
"Oh, not because of you, Ron, it's because of me!"
Harry said angrily.
He told Darren what had happened that night.
She couldn't help but complain, "I don't know what he's angry about. I've been right next to him the whole time, how could he think of me like that?"
Why? Jealousy! Darren sighed.
Jealousy is the greatest original sin of a person.
No one can help but feel jealous.
It's like if he really were Harry's brother, a brother without any cheat codes or time travel abilities.
He might also be jealous.
He might become the next Voldemort.
It's normal for Ron to be jealous.
From the protagonist's perspective.
They'll definitely be angry at Ron for being so ungrateful.
But from Ron's perspective, he must also feel depressed.
I was inconspicuous in front of my parents since I was a child.
He was always bullied by his older brother, and his robes were all second-hand. Even Peter Pettigrew, whom he hated the most, was inherited from Fred and his friends.
Later, Ron met Harry.
Mrs. Weasley treats Harry better than she treats him.
You can only see Harry at school.
Hermione shines even brighter with her academic achievements.
He's the only one who can't do anything.
Although he is just an ordinary person, isn't it normal for ordinary people to be jealous?
"They're all just kids!" Darren laughed.
"Darren, you're still laughing!"
Harry said, pretending to be angry.
Seeing Darren smile, he couldn't help but smile too.
No one could bear to be angry with Darren.
“Brother, Ron is just jealous… He’s jealous of your savior aura, jealous of Hermione’s academic genius aura, and jealous that everyone likes me.”
"Yes, but..."
Harry was speechless.
“I know what you mean. The reason he didn’t show it is because he considers us friends.”
When a friend excels, he is very proud of us... But when there are too many outstanding people, it will eventually leave a shadow in his heart, and a single straw will break him.
He was jealous of us, but powerless to change anything, which ultimately led to this situation. Actually, I was partly to blame; I saw it coming a long time ago, but I never said anything. I thought he would come to his senses.
But unexpectedly, instead of figuring it out, his reaction became even more intense.
