Darren lowered his head shyly and said, "Mr. Filch hates magic. I was only thinking of helping my brother. I'm sorry..."
"You... I'm sorry, but I won't say anything more to you!"
Harry lowered his head in dejection.
He shouldn't have mentioned Darren.
Darren always makes me feel so sorry for him. And Darren always does it for him.
Perhaps he really should try to avoid causing trouble in the future!
But for some reason, things just kept coming his way!
"Sigh, Darren, you should go back to sleep!"
Harry pushed Darren back.
He walked towards Gryffindor with Ron and Hermione, asking with some confusion, "What is the Chamber of Secrets? And what about the Heir? What are all these things?"
Ron shook his head. He didn't quite understand either.
Bill had told him that Hogwarts had a secret chamber.
But it's unclear whether it's true or false, let alone what's inside.
the following few days.
The topic of the locked room and the heir is being discussed everywhere in the school.
Because of what Filch and Snape said to Darren at the time, some people in the school began to suspect that Darren was behind it.
Because he's from Slytherin, and he's also the famous Harry Potter's brother...
And he also has the ability to do such a thing.
On Darren's way to class, they even tried to ambush him.
But whenever they tried to cause trouble, the Slytherin prefect would just look at them with a cold expression.
Those eyes held a chilling murderous intent that sent shivers down one's spine.
Some of them even suspected that this Miss Cassandra Wore had killed many people.
"There was a murderous glint in her eyes... I once saw a murderer..."
"
Justin addressed the people around him.
He was from a Muggle family. He was once going to Eton College.
As a result, I received an acceptance letter from Hogwarts.
He sensed with his unique intuition that Darren was definitely the heir to Hogwarts.
Even the cat was petrified by Darren.
Darren's usual kindness is actually a facade.
“I’ve read the book. The mysterious man also performed very well during his time at this school. I believe that Darren Porter is destined for this path!”
Justin boasted wildly in the library.
Harry even wanted to go up and teach that guy a lesson, but Darren stopped him.
"Alright, brother, I don't care about any of that. You know, all I want is for you to be well..."
Despite saying that, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes. Clearly, he was also upset by the rumors.

Chapter 173 Incredibly Spicy, A Feeling Like Flying!
Darren's feigned sadness lasted only half a day, because in the afternoon, Justin was put in solitary confinement by Professor McGonagall.
He was locked up until midnight.
It's unclear whether Justin was distracted.
As he was going up the steps, he suddenly tumbled down the stairs and was stepped on and had his leg broken by Mrs. Pomfrey, who happened to be passing by.
When Ron came over to tell them the good news, he was overjoyed.
"I heard that he was severely scolded by Mrs. Pomfrey, who asked him why he went to that staircase."
There are precious medicinal herbs there, herbs used to treat Lady Loris.
So Madame Pomfrey suspected he was trying to steal the herbs and even asked him if he had opened the secret room, since he had arrived there very early that day.
I knew this guy was talking bad about Darren; he'd get his comeuppance sooner or later…
"Oh, Darren, you can't be so kind. He said such bad things about you, is it okay for us to laugh at him a little?"
[Ding, detecting a scene where the Holy Father System is in action around the host, a temporary task is now issued:]
Stop Ron from mocking Justin, and visit Justin, saying: "I really just came to visit you, I have no bad intentions."
[Ding! After completing the mission, you have gained Tom Riddle's attention. Would you like to accept the mission?]
[Accept!]
"No, Ron, we can't do that. We should be kind to each other. How about we visit Justin tonight?"
He came from the Muggle world and is now being wrongly accused of being the heir. He must be very lonely. Let's go and comfort him!
His words touched Harry and the other two.
They decided to visit Justin after class that evening, even if they came back a little late.
Because Mr. Filch has become so lovable, he's been very kind to Darren and the others. Last time, he even brought Darren a cream puff and sent it to the library.
However, Darren and the other two suspected that Filch was trying to woo Mrs. Pince, the librarian.
After dinner in the evening.
Darren and the other two went to the school clinic.
They saw Justin lying alone in the hospital bed. One of his legs was bandaged.
Darren took out the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans that he had specially prepared for Justin.
This was a gift from Patty after he told Justin about it that afternoon, and mentioned that he was going to take Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans to Justin.
He also instructed Darren to make sure that the latest version of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans was delivered to Justin.
It was used to express Darren's consolation.
Darren secretly guessed that even if it didn't taste like manure, it must have some other strange and unusual flavor.
So he smiled and offered Justin the Beans of Flavor. But Justin didn't appreciate it at all; he was so frightened he almost jumped up. He pulled out his wand, pointed it at Darren, and said, "Are you trying to kill me? Let me tell you, Mrs. Pomfrey is in the infirmary."
"If she knows you're the heir, she'll definitely hand you over to Dumbledore!"
"But...Dumbledore already said I was innocent..."
"
Darren looked sad.
He tried his best to bring the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans to Justin, and said very obediently...
"I'm not lying to you, Headmaster Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of this century. If I have any problems, he will definitely arrest me."
I really came to visit you; I have no ill intentions.
"Have some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. This is a new flavor; I had someone deliver it specially."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for gaining Tom Riddle's attention.]
Tom Riddle's Gaze: Immune to Tom Riddle's Soul Attacks.
During your time at Hogwarts, Tom Riddle learned from the Basilisk that you were also the heir to Slytherin.
His gaze fell upon you.
Darren shook his head speechlessly; he knew the system's rewards were weird.
Being noticed by a Horcrux is pretty boring. Justin is much more interesting.
Justin sat down with some skepticism. He opened the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans that Darren had given him.
He discovered that the box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans was still unopened, meaning Darren had no chance to switch the box.
Perhaps Darren didn't have bad intentions?
"I'll eat one. If I get sick, then it's your fault!"
Justin cautiously picked one out and put it in his mouth.
Darren noticed that it was a bright red bean.
Hmm, this looks like a super-spicy product made by Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Extremely spicy.
And it melts in your mouth. Enjoy the feeling of flying.
Sure enough, Justin's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. He called out loudly for Mrs. Pomfrey.
