Or have any dissatisfaction with him.
He had heard that murderers were people whose souls had fallen, but looking at Darren, he only felt deep sorrow for him.
Darren must have been utterly desperate at that time.
They only saw his strength when he came back; they would never know what he had been through.
“That day Darren gave me these memories, and I brought him in… It was here that he lost his mind.”
He kept screaming, desperately trying to kill himself. He believed he had fallen and that he had killed everyone.
He thought he was a jerk, a bad seed… I had to take him to the school clinic, and you know what happened next.”
Dumbledore led them back to his office.
Harry and his friends still wore expressions of terror and despair; that suffocating feeling seemed to linger in their hearts.
"Alright, kids, each of you have a glass of milk to calm yourselves down, then go back to sleep... Harry, stay behind, I need to say a few words to him."
Fred, George, Hermione, and Yuen nodded hesitantly.
They drank the milk and then left the office.
Harry sat in his office looking at Dumbledore.
There were still tears on his face.
Dumbledore's gentle voice rang out.
“Harry, I know you’re angry…you’re angry that I made Darren take out his memories.”
"That's right!"
Harry said angrily.
“You knew perfectly well, you knew he couldn’t handle it, you…”
"No, Harry, I don't know. Like you, I thought Darren had been tortured."
However, I believe that it was all within his emotional capacity.
I want to use his memories to find some clues that can lead to the discovery of those people's crimes.
Harry, I'm not a god, nor Merlin. I'm just an ordinary, well, slightly magical old man.
You might think I know everything and can do everything, but I have let you down. I am not that kind of person.
Indeed, it was my fault that Darren ended up like this, so all I can do is help him forget all those memories, just like he did.
The reason I asked you to stay is that I want you to be more careful during this time. If Darren's memory is damaged, it could cause him even more pain.
I need you to stop him from thinking about what happened that night and try to help him move on.
"Dumbledore said seriously."
Harry nodded quickly.
Looking at the elderly man, his anger suddenly vanished.
Regardless, Dumbledore did do it for Darren.
"Alright, child, go back now! I need to sleep too. You know how important sleep is for an old person."
Darren, of course, had no idea what had happened to them that night.
But he guessed they went to Dumbledore and looked at his memories.
Because the next day, they looked at him as if he were a helpless baby.
They even wanted to feed him food.
They even followed him secretly when he went to the toilet.
He suspected that while he was squatting, these people would be outside smelling the odor.
Fortunately, this condition disappeared after two days.
Because they were scolded by Snape.
Snape seemed to think they were sick.
Not only did they deduct a lot of points from them, but they also said they would tell Professor McGonagall that they had been stalking students from their college.
Harry and his friends were furious.
However, after realizing that Snape was always watching them, they gradually returned to their normal behavior.
This made Darren feel much better.
Thursday.
Slytherins are required to attend Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Gryffindors. This is their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the term.
But many students are really looking forward to it.
Because Moody had previously turned Malfoy into a weasel, his strength was already evident to all the students.
Also because Moody was a very strong retired Auror.
He is very capable.
They once captured a great many Death Eaters.
It can be said that many of the Death Eaters in Azkaban were his mortal enemies.
This also led to Moody never eating food from outside.
He also doesn't drink alcohol from outside.
He only eats and drinks what he brings with him.
He was worried that someone might poison him.
During the summer vacation, it is said that Moody believed someone had planted a bomb in his trash can because of a problem with it.
That's why Mr. Weasley went out of his way to deal with it.
It turned out to be just a cat passing by.
Of course, Moody became suspicious after retirement.
But everyone knows he is incredibly capable.
As soon as class started, Moody said, "I came here at Dumbledore's request to teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts for a year."
During summer vacation, I received a letter from Remus Lupin. He said that we had already studied Red Hat, Hinkpunk...
Very good, you have learned a lot, and now, I think I will be able to do so in this year.
I will teach you how to deal with dark magic, real dark magic!
"But... these dark magic spells will corrupt the mind..."
Darren said with concern.
Moody's expression softened.
It looks like a smile.
It's still very scary, though.
His tone lowered, as if afraid of scaring Darren, and he said, "Darren... I knew I would see you in a classroom."
But I think you're too conservative. Have you forgotten what you've been through these past few years?
Students need to go through those things; if they don't, they'll die if they encounter what you've been through.
Be vigilant from this moment on!
Moody's last words were directed at the other students in the classroom.
"But it's too early..."
Ron couldn't help but speak up as well.
The other students in the classroom also looked disapproving.
Their defense against dark magic never intended to confront true dark magic.
"You're the youngest son of the Weasleys. Thank you to your father; he helped me a lot during the summer..."
At this moment, Malfoy let out a laugh.
Moody turned to look at him.
"Very well, a Death Eater like you wants to attend my class? Get out, Malfoy, you're not welcome here!"
424
Chapter 424 Get out of here!!
"You think I want to attend your class? I'm leaving!"
Malfoy simply picked up his schoolbag.
He also gave Ron a disdainful look.
