Chapter 305: Chaos
When Darren followed Hagrid and Harry out of the labyrinth, there was a commotion in the crowd in the stands, of course, most of them were surprised that it would be him who called for help and quit the game, the previous broomstick even the judges said to be impressed, only a few people were because of Harry in Hagrid's arms.

Hermione was the first to run down the stands, followed by Mrs. Weasley, Bill and Ron, and Fred and George, who split into two directions as they approached.
Hermione, who was galloping, threw herself into Darren's arms, almost knocking him to the ground, hugging him tightly, her body trembling with nervousness; Mrs. Weasley and Bill rushed straight to Hagrid to ask about Harry; Ron stood in the middle, looking left and right, with Fred and George standing behind him.
"Okay, I'm fine, it was Harry who was hurt, I came out with Hagrid," Darren patted Hermione on the back, comforting her.
In Darren's arms, Hermione finally calmed down, and then seemed to remember that this was in the middle of the playing field, and there were several stands around it, all of which were full of spectators, and quickly separated from him, but still chattered, and whispered, "You don't know, it scared us to death at the time, and all of a sudden, Harry was gone, and the man, Professor Dumbledore was very angry and asked the professors to look for him, but no one knew where to go, and Mrs. Weasley always blamed herself, thinking that she was not optimistic about Harry......"
At this moment, Dumbledore also came from the referee's seat, and he hurried over to Hagrid, shouting, "Harry, Harry!" ”
He put his head on Hagrid's chest, then took it away, and said, "Follow me," and walked with Hagrid to the outside of the field, Darren looked at Dumbledore's back, turned his head to look at the referee's seat, and now there were only three people left, Bagman, Lady Maxim, and Amelia, and Karkaroff was gone.
Darren felt that he should leave too, there was no need to stay here, for him, the Triwizard Tournament was meaningless, and it didn't matter if he won the championship or not, but it would be because of Harry, which he really didn't expect.
Pulling Hermione and saying hello to Mrs. Weasley and Bill and Ron, Darren walked outside the field, and near the exit, suddenly, Professor McGonagall hurried over and said to him, "Professor Dumbledore wants you to stop dealing with other people for a while," she looked at Hermione next to her, "Irrelevant people, talk about tonight's matter, it's important!" She stared into Darren's eyes.
Darren nodded in understanding, and said in a voice that only he and Professor McGonagall and Hermione could hear, "Harry told me a little bit about it when I was in the labyrinth, and I know it's important. ”
Professor McGonagall's eyes widened and her lips quirmed, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately did not speak, nodded, and turned away.
Along the way, Darren didn't speak, just walked silently, Hermione followed him, they walked through the grass in front of the castle, entered the gate, and went straight back to the Gryffindor common room, which was indeed not there yet, but it would not be long before it would be full of people.
"Hermione," Darren thought for a moment, "I'm fine, everything is fine, I'm just sending Harry out, he ...... "He couldn't think of anything to say to Hermione about Voldemort's return, so he decided to wait for Harry to come back and let him talk about it, to face Voldemort's fear of the moment, a little less, if it was just for a day."
Of course, this answer could not satisfy Hermione, but looking at Darren's expression, she didn't ask any more, just sat next to him and quietly accompanied him, because, after what happened tonight, soon, they would not have such a chance to be alone, at least for a short time.
The next day, at breakfast, Dumbledore addressed the whole school in the Great Hall, asking them not to disturb Harry, to ask him questions, or to pester him about what had happened in the labyrinth that day, as well as Darren.
For this, Darren is grateful to Dumbledore, because as soon as people returned to the Gryffindor common room last night, they all gathered around him, trying to figure out what was going on, and what happened to Harry who came out of the maze with him, even if he hid back in his bedroom, there were still Neville and a few of them who couldn't stop asking, and Ron came back late and went straight to bed.
But despite Dumbledore's instructions, when Darren was walking in the castle, the people who saw him still whispered to each other, apparently, they didn't understand why the warriors of Hogwarts would drop out of the game halfway through the game and give up the Triwizard Tournament title, which obviously had a big advantage......
In the morning, Darren was called to Moody's office, except for Moody, Blake was also there, and he hugged Darren, "I came here last night, thank you, Darren, for bringing Harry out of the maze, he told me, thanks to you, otherwise," he frowned, "Hagrid should really change his interest!" Merlin, it's a spider! ”
"Indeed, Darren, you did a great job last night!" After Darren and Blake parted, Moody came over to shake his hand.
"How's Harry doing?" Darren asked.
"He's fine, just too tired and needs a break," Blake sighed, "Last night was too tough for him!" ”
Darren agreed, even knowing that Harry was destined to be with Voldemort and a large group of Death Eaters, it would be scary enough.
"By the way," Blake suddenly remembered something, and took a bag from his body, "I'm sorry about the Triwizard Tournament because of Harry," he handed the bag to Darren, "and I can't give you the honor of being the champion, but at least I can compensate you for the prize money." ”
Looking at the pocket, Darren wanted to refuse, but he still took it, anyway, Blake and he are not bad for money, so the other party can be a little better off in this way.
In the evening, Harry returned to Gryffindor Tower, finally sharing some of the curiosity from Darren, and when they met, he said, "Thank you, Darren, for giving up the game for my sake. ”
"It's nothing, I think, it's much more important than the Triwizard Tournament champion, you, and the news you brought back!" Harry nodded, not saying anything more, apparently having matured a lot after facing Voldemort and the many Death Eaters last night.
Although Darren didn't ask, when Harry sat with him with Hermione and Ron, he told him about the unfinished part of the previous night, and when he heard that Hermione didn't know anything, he also gave him a brief account of what had happened......
