Professor McGonagall asked with concern.
Darren paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Harry and the others haven't come back yet. I'm just... just a little sad. I wanted to come back and rest for a bit..."
he stammered.
Her face betrayed her distress. Professor McGonagall immediately understood.
She frowned.
"Did they bully you?"
Darren never does anything reckless.
Although he was reckless, he was passionate about everything, especially Harry, whom he would give his heart to.
And now he's back all by himself.
Something must have happened.
It's also related to Harry and his friends!
"Professor... my brother didn't bully me. I just feel that I need to calm down and think about what my brother said for a while."
Perhaps I should reflect on whether I made mistakes in the past… I'm sorry, Professor… I… I'm just a little sad…
Darren spoke softly, then his voice gradually choked up.
His eyes gradually reddened, and finally he lowered his head, seemingly unable to say anything more.
Professor McGonagall's eyes were filled with worry.
Darren had already recovered before she could comfort him.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Then he politely looked at Professor McGonagall and said obediently, "Professor, I'll be leaving now... Perhaps it's my fault, I'm just a little tired... I'll go back and rest now."
He turned and left gracefully.
His steps, however, carried an indescribable sense of desolation.
Professor McGonagall stood there, growing angrier the more she thought about it.
When she saw Harry and the other two slowly returning from outside the castle, she was overwhelmed by anger.
"...I'm warning you, Mr. Potter, if you make Darren angry again, then don't go looking for him again!"
Malfoy returned from St. Mungo on Thursday.
He was bandaged up, looking like a triumphant hero.
He kept describing to those around him how brave he was, and how he was able to escape from the monster.
Of course, he also proudly told Darren that his father was preparing to sue Hagrid.
Hagrid will definitely be fired and charged with murder.
Darren was also a little surprised.
Didn't the original book say that Hagrid was alright?
Why was he charged with murder this time? Didn't Dumbledore try to intervene?
Wait, could this guy be lying to him? It's very possible!
After all, he was a pitiful orphan, and so naive that he would believe whatever Malfoy said.
[Ding, detecting a scene where the Holy Father System is in action around the host, a temporary task is now issued:]
He walked up to Malfoy and pleaded in a panicked tone not to prosecute Hagrid.
And he agreed to Malfoy's request to be his follower for a month.
[Ding! Mission completed. You have obtained a Time Converter x1. Would you like to accept the mission?]
Ah this?
Is the system disapproving of him because he uses the Ministry of Magic's Time-Turner? Or does it think that using the Time-Turner to attend classes is a waste of time that would otherwise be spent grinding for Holy Father Points?
but.
Having your own time-twister is certainly much better than having one monitored by the Ministry of Magic.
[Accept!]
Darren immediately accepted the mission.
He glanced at Malfoy, who was still smugly basking in the spotlight, as if he had made a decision.
He walked over to Malfoy. Draco Malfoy raised an eyebrow.
Of course he did it on purpose.
He knew, of course, that Darren didn't want that big oaf to be fired.
Darren will definitely come begging to that big oaf for his sake.
It's about time Darren became his sidekick for a while.
He's clearly his brother, so why does he always follow Harry Potter, that scarred guy around?
That scarred guy only knows how to cause trouble.
I've never done anything good for him! He's the guy's older brother!
Perfect timing! That scarred guy had a fight with Darren, let him enjoy what it's like to be the older brother!
Malfoy thought smugly.
Then I watched Darren rush over anxiously.
Darren certainly knew what this guy was thinking.
So, right from the start, he showed a flustered and fearful expression and asked, "Could you... could you please stop Mr. Malfoy from suing Hagrid?"
Looking at the expression on his face, Malfoy felt a little guilty. It seemed that there was no sense of accomplishment in bullying such a guy!
However, as someone who wanted to enjoy being an older brother, Malfoy continued to pretend.
He raised an eyebrow and said in an arrogant voice, "Why should I listen to you? You know, if it weren't for the amulet I have, I would really be dead!"
Darren's lips trembled a few times.
Clearly, he understands this principle.
Malfoy almost died.
just.
Thinking of Hagrid's joy at finally becoming a professor.
I thought of Hagrid crying that day.
Darren finally gritted his teeth and said, "Please, please don't let Mr. Malfoy sue Hagrid. I'll do anything you need me to do."
I can make up for it, whether it's with Galleons or something else..."
"No, no, no, I don't need Galleons or anything like that, because the Malfoy family represents the pinnacle of the wizarding world!"
Draco curled his lips.
If Darren is recognized again, he will know how powerful and wealthy his family is.
What can the Potters do with their meager Galleons?
The disdainful expression on his face made Darren's eyes redden slightly.
He shook his head bitterly and bowed his head to say apologetically.
He thought Malfoy was right. He had almost died, so how could he give up suing Hagrid just because of a few words from him?
Moreover, Malfoy lacked nothing.
He should think of another way.
He turned to leave.
Just as he turned around, Ma Nifu suddenly called out to him.
"If you really want my dad not to sue that big, dumb guy, that's fine too. Just be my loyal follower for a month, and I won't sue him!"
Draco spoke with great confidence.
In reality, I have absolutely no confidence.
How could Darren be his sidekick?
This guy is actually quite proud; he just follows behind Scarface.
Someone as outstanding as him would only tell Scarface to protect him.
Draco was stunned for the next second.
Because Darren agreed without any hesitation.
"Okay, no problem!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Time Converter.]
