He looked around suspiciously, but found nothing suspicious, so he turned to Dumbledore.
Next came the annual bonus point drama. He lost, he gained, he was filled with mixed emotions. And indeed he was.
"So, before awarding the college trophy, we need to take recent events into account."
"Dumbledore said."
Harry and Darren were the first to be looked at. Harry was surrounded by praise, while Darren was met with snorts.
Only Cassandra spoke, and it was a threat: If you dare to be reckless again, no one in Slytherin will help you!
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
Darren looked guilty.
He wanted to say more to express his remorse, but then he heard a buzzing sound coming from the Slytherin table.
"There's no need to be so strict."
"Yeah, I actually find it quite amusing to see him do something stupid."
"He's finally back alive, so there's really no need to talk about him anymore."
"He's been spoiled by people like you."
"So you weren't one of those who sabotaged the voting machines?"
"Tch, I just accidentally cast it while practicing my spells!"
"childish!"
Darren kept his head down, not knowing who had said it.
When he looked up, he saw that everyone was sitting quietly in their seats, as if he were the only one who had lost his memory.
Ha, a bunch of arrogant guys.
However, in order to maintain his persona, he still said very sincerely: "Thank you. When I was first sorted into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat, I was very scared. I was always worried that I would be ostracized and disliked by others."
Who knew you would take such good care of me this past year? I understand all the times you've gone easy on me, I…”
He wiped his eyes, his emerald green eyes filled with tears. Clearly, he was deeply moved.

[bite………]
Darren has acquired a bunch of low-value "Holy Father" coins. He looks even more pitiful now.
"Hmph, who cares about your gratitude!"
"That's right, we're Slytherin, we won't take care of you!"
"Who took care of you? Prove it!"
"Even if there is evidence, it was done unintentionally. Who would take care of this idiot?"
"Slytherin doesn't do things for free; even if they're taking care of you, it's on purpose!"
"That's right, we're taking care of you so that you'll repay us!"
A group of people were talking all at once. Not a single kind word was said.
This was in stark contrast to Harry's treatment in Gryffindor. So much so that Harry thought Darren had been bullied again. An angry expression appeared on his face.
But because those people didn't attack Darren, he could only be angry with himself, wondering why he hadn't gone to Slytherin in the first place.
If he went, wouldn't he be able to protect Darren at this time?
While Harry was getting angry, Dumbledore above him also got to the point.
"First, Ron Weasley... He won the most brilliant game of chess in the history of Hogwarts, for which he is awarded fifty points in Gryffindor!"
"Hoohoo!"
"Ron is our brother!"
The twins cheered loudly.
Ron blushed, covered his face, and slumped onto the table.
"Secondly, Hermione Granger... Faced with danger, she used her calm mind to repel the devil's web and save her classmate. Gryffindor gets another fifty points!"
This earned Gryffindor a hundred points.
The score is now 412.
"Third, Harry Potter... He displayed a fearless spirit, for which Gryffindor gets 60 points!"
Now, Gryffindor and Slytherin have the same score.
“There are many kinds of courage… For this, Neville Longbottom is awarded 10 points!”
The Gryffindors' roar startled the Great Hall.
Harry noticed that the Slytherin students had stood up in discontent. Darren was trying to calm them down, but to little avail.
"Finally, there was one more person, Darren Porter, who faced danger without fear..."
Therefore, Slytherin receives 60 points, making Slytherin the winner of this House Cup!
"Dumbledore said with a loud laugh. Slytherin cheered."
They took off their wizard hats and threw them into the air, and a few daring witches came over and hugged Darren.
Of course, there are also many different opinions.
"Dumbledore is so unfair! Darren clearly put in more effort than Harry Potter, yet he gets the same points!"
"Exactly, what does Harry Potter have?"
"Alright, if Darren hears you and keeps pestering you to say good things about Harry Potter, can you handle it?"
"I can't take it anymore, I'm scared!"
"It's alright. If you ask me, adding 20 points would be enough. With that idiot Darren, adding points this time might just encourage his recklessness!"
"Hmph, we should be even fiercer, then he'll be scared!"
"Of course! Next time, let Blood Man Barrow teach him a lesson. Blood Man Barrow won't care whether he's kind or not!"

Perhaps because he was too happy, Snape ultimately did not decide on Darren's confinement.
But Darren noticed that his attitude towards Harry had worsened.
Previously, it was more anger mixed with sarcasm; now it's disgust mixed with anger plus sarcasm.
Okay, so overall, that's how the year has come to an end. No.
It was almost perfect. The final exam results were in. Darren got first place in the whole grade.
Every professor rated him as perfect.
As for Harry and Ron, they also passed the exams with very high scores.
This was clearly Hermione's doing.
Finally, their luggage was placed on the train. They also received a notification.
They were told not to use magic during the summer holidays. Hagrid took them to the train station.
The train pulled quickly into the station, and they arrived at platform nine and three-quarters.
"Harry, Darren, remember to write to us during the summer vacation!"
"You all have to come to our house to play during the summer vacation!"
Ron and Hermione said excitedly.
Harry was feeling a little down.
In the magical world, he felt like a savior, but in front of his aunt and uncle, he became that annoying bug.
Fortunately, Darren was with him.
He just felt this news was even worse.
He didn't want Darren to know about the life he used to lead, nor did he want Darren to come over and get scolded.
But Dumbledore said it was necessary.
"Oh, Darren, Dumbledore said you have to live with me at my aunt and uncle's house. What do you think... maybe we should have Patchouli give them a good beating first?"
Harry thought excitedly.
Darren refused, instead taking two large gifts out of his suitcase, giving one to Harry and keeping the other for himself.
“Brother, Headmaster Dumbledore also told me that we need to live with Auntie indefinitely.”
