Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 693

He gave you a pair of two-way mirrors. Why didn't you use them to question him that day?

Two-way mirror?

"I do not have……"

Harry stopped.

He remembered that Sirius had indeed given him a package. Was a two-way mirror inside?

If it's a two-way mirror, why, why didn't Sirius say so? Why did he never open it either?

If he opens it...

If he opens it, will Darren not have to risk going to the Ministry of Magic and die there?

Harry realized, almost never before, that he was entirely at fault. He was the one who, step by step, led Darren to this outcome. ...

Harry carried Darren's suitcase; it was incredibly light.

However, he was also carrying a pile of books, which he needed to help Darren return to the library.

He didn't want to return it... Darren didn't leave him many belongings.

But he had to return them; Darren didn't want to be branded as someone who didn't return school books.

After returning the books and putting Darren's luggage in his own dormitory, he came out and saw Luna posting a lost and found notice on the bulletin board.

Why aren't you going to the banquet?

Luna asked, puzzled. Harry shook his head.

"I don't want to go there. I want to be alone for a while. Besides, you didn't go either."

“My things have been taken. When Darren was around, he would help me cast a spell to summon Lunalovgood’s things.”

Then everything came back, but I can't do it myself; I don't have that much magic power. I can only take it slowly, finding it back one thing at a time.

Harry's voice caught in his throat again. He froze on the spot.

Luna seemed to know his emotions.

She said softly, "He will come back. Didn't you hear him speaking behind the curtain?"

Did you hear that? Yes.

He just didn't pay attention at the time.

At the time, he was mostly focused on saving Sirius. So, wasn't all of this foreshadowed?

If he had just taken one step to think things through properly, or taken Darren away from there, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"I'm going to a banquet, I hope my things come back soon..."

Luna waved to Harry.

She walked away.

Harry stood there silently for a long time, and finally he gently covered his face the next day.

They needed to climb from their dormitories onto the Hogwarts Express. Harry carried a suitcase in each hand.

Ron wanted to help him, but he refused.

"It's okay, Darren's suitcase is very light. I don't know why he always puts so little stuff in it. I don't know where his other things are!"

Harry chuckled softly.

In reality, he had no interest in talking at all.

He was just subconsciously imitating Darren, who would comfort them even when he didn't have the energy to speak, worried that they would be concerned about his emotions.

He didn't want Ron and the others to overthink things.

He didn't want to hear them say anything more and told him to stop thinking about Darren. He went into the private room.

During the journey, Malfoy and his men attempted a sneak attack.

As it turned out, almost all the DA members were in the next private room, and they rushed out to help.

They smiled as they threw Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle out.

Harry even perked up a bit, which was rare for him.

Then he heard Cho Chang's voice; she asked in a melancholy tone, "Harry, when will Darren's injury heal? Is it that difficult to heal injuries at St. Mungo's? Is he seriously injured?"

His spirits plummeted once again. Fortunately, Ron covered up all the problems. For the rest of the journey, Harry remained silent.

He had no energy left to answer any more questions.

He just wanted the train to reach its destination as soon as possible so he could be separated from these people. But as the train approached its stop, Harry regretted it. He would rather the train keep going than get off, because then he would face his aunt and uncle's faces.

He might also face the Nicolas Flamels. They might ask him, "Where is Darren?"

And Mrs. and Mr. Weasley, perhaps the Order of the Phoenix has already told them that Darren has fallen behind the curtain.

They would look at him with red, swollen eyes, as if questioning him: why did everyone else go there, and why was Darren the only one left there forever?

Harry's voice faltered.

He suddenly felt an unbelievable pain in his throat, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

However, the train eventually came to a stop.

Harry heard an announcement on the train telling them to get off.

His face was deathly pale as he lifted down his and Darren's suitcases, as well as Hedwig's cage.

It wasn't a very heavy thing, but Harry felt like he was carrying a ton of bricks when he carried it.

However, as he walked out of Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, he saw Sirius Black, Moody, Lupin, and even Tonks…

Harry's heart was almost unable to beat.

He lowered his head and approached them, suppressing his sorrow as he met their gazes.

he thinks.

He's been through the most painful things, so these are nothing.

“Harry, I am innocent. The appearance of the Man of Voldemort, the testimonies of the Death Eaters, and Dumbledore’s assurances have made me ready to leave.”

"Really?" Blake said happily.

Sirius Black was able to get out. He was free!

In the past, Harry would have burst out laughing upon hearing this news, but now, he could only force a smile.

"Congratulations!"

"Darren will be overjoyed when he finds out!"

Blake said happily.

Harry looked at him, not understanding why he could say Darren's name so easily.

Darren died there, and they seemed to forget about him very quickly.

"Yes!"

But Harry still chimed in with a comment.

Pretend that you have moved on from Darren's death.

No one else felt the same way he did; only he could grieve for Darren. They might even think he died a worthy death…

615

Chapter 615 Are you alright?!

"Harry, are you okay?"

Lupin looked worried, and Harry gently shook his head.

After realizing that these people weren't really sad for Darren, he decided not to bring up Darren anymore.

So he gently shook his head and said, "I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me."

Sirius is free, I've regained my reputation, the Ministry of Magic has apologized, Dumbledore has returned to school... What more could I ask for?

“Darren…”

Lupin tried to say something in a low voice, but Harry interrupted him.

He changed the subject and asked, "How did you end up here all of a sudden?"

"Oh, we're planning to talk to your aunt and uncle before you go back, about your stay with them, about how they feel about you..."

"They were very kind to me!"

Harry said with a smile.

After speaking with Dumbledore, he learned that he had to return to Uncle Vernon's house.

But he also knew that after Darren and Uncle Vernon talked, Uncle Vernon had already been very kind to him.

However, because Dudley was attacked by Dementors last summer, they have been very wary of him.
