Harry said incredulously.
Darren looked even more guilty.
He said hesitantly and with some hesitation, "I've wanted to tell you this for a long time, but it's a private matter for Headmaster Dumbledore... He didn't say it could be spread."
Moreover, Gellert should have been in Nurmengard at the time… Headmaster Dumbledore released him…
I don't think this is a good thing. Even though Gellert said he's changed, and Headmaster Dumbledore said he has high hopes for him, but... Anyway, I didn't say anything.
But I think I should tell you now.
Because right after Dumbledore passed away, I couldn't get in touch with Gellert... I heard from them that he had returned to Nurmengard...
It's my fault for not protecting Dumbledore... It's all my fault...

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]
Darren's eyes were bloodshot.
He devoutly took all the blame upon himself.
"No, Darren, it's not your fault, it's Dumbledore's fault!"
He never told us he had a Squib sister, did he? He didn't consider us his best friends!
As Aunt Muriel said, he locked his sister in the house while he was dating Gellert!
Darren, he's a politician!
You don't need to be sad or angry about him!
Darren shook his head gently.
He stood up.
"Brother, I don't believe it, I don't believe Dumbledore would be that kind of person... I believe he loves us... Ah!"
"Time is running out. I'm sorry, brother, I have to go. It's almost dawn, I must get back quickly!"

Harry saw Darren's hand press the door key.
Before Darren left, he saw Hermione trying to touch Darren's hand.
And Darren's bloodshot eyes...

Chapter 712 You're a piece of trash!!
Darren is gone.
Harry and Hermione's lives returned to normal.
Their current idea is to find a way to pull the sword out of the Sorting Hat.
They asked Phineas and the Sorting Hat, and both said that only a true Gryffindor could pull out the sword of Gryffindor.
But for some reason, Harry and Hermione just couldn't pull out Gryffindor's sword.
Harry then heard Phineas's mocking voice.
It seems to be saying that Darren could pull out a Slytherin, but he couldn't pull out a Gryffindor.
Harry was furious.
But he really couldn't pull it out.
He now regrets it a little; he should have let Darren pull it out for him that day.
But it's too late to say anything now; they'll have to figure it out themselves first.
It's impossible for the two Gryffindors to expect Darren, a Slytherin, to come up with a solution.
As for Darren's situation...
Let's analyze based on what Phineas brought.
It's probably getting worse.
He is no longer allowed near Snape's office.
In addition, Snape sent two Slytherin students to monitor him.
Moreover, his private dormitory has been cancelled.
Snape seems to have revoked all of Darren's privileges, and Darren is no longer able to contact Phineas at will.
Harry couldn't say anything.
Darren didn't care about such punishment.
Darren should be most concerned about whether he has found the Horcruxes or destroyed them while he is out there.
Darren would even sacrifice his life if it meant restoring everyone's previous lives.
Harry sighed softly.
Perhaps all he can do is pull out the Gryffindor sword and quickly destroy one of the Horcruxes.
But so far, he and Hermione are still clueless.
That evening, Harry sat at the entrance of the tent, shivering and wearing the Sorting Hat, praying that the hat would quickly hand him the sword.
Of course, this will only invite ridicule from the Sorting Hat.
Harry was extremely annoyed.
Finally, he decided to go out for a while wearing a hat and an invisibility cloak.
Hermione told him to be careful.
no way.
Harry still couldn't control his mouth.
He would always accidentally say Voldemort's name, and then Death Eaters would come after him.
So they changed locations several more times.
Hermione was very worried because he would say Voldemort's name so casually when he was outside.
Harry will then be caught by those Death Eaters and given a good beating.
Harry was speechless.
"I'm wearing an invisibility cloak, so I won't talk to anyone."
Hermione had no choice but to let him be.
Harry went outside wearing his hat.
He kept thinking about what the Sorting Hat and Phineas's words—that only a true Gryffindor could pull it out—really meant…
What would a real Gryffindor be like? Courage?
But he tried to bravely face Voldemort, yet he just couldn't bring himself to draw his sword.
If the Sorting Hat hadn't told him that the sword was inside, he would sometimes have even suspected that Darren had made a mistake in rewarding him!
But what exactly is Gryffindor? Harry squatted by the river.
He removed his invisibility cloak.
He looked at his face reflected in the clear river.
Harry was momentarily confused, wondering if it was him or his father.
Then he thought of his mother.
I thought of Darren.
Why was Darren able to pull out the sword? What quality of his was it? Was it his kindness? His naivety? His compassion?
Because of his piety in being willing to perish together with Voldemort? Or perhaps both?
Harry was wearing a hat. He was thinking a lot.
Finally, he understood.
He was willing to draw his sword and strike at the Death Eaters, at Voldemort, at everyone who had taken his home from him.
courage.
Yes, he had the courage to pull it out!
He felt as if something had hit him on the head.
He slipped.
He fell into the river. The water was icy cold.
