This time, Darren and Hermione were called into the Headmaster's office to tell Dumbledore what had happened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Slughorn would be glad to have a student like you," Dumbledore said to Hermione after hearing the whole story, "and you, Darren, anyway, if you were with him, if there was only one person, with the intensity of the poison, even if he knew how to detoxify, he would not have had time to operate. ā
......After a pause, Darren asked, "How's the professor?"
"You're getting help in time, he'll be fine, Madam Pomfrey says he's going to be here for another week or two...... Continue to take rue. Dumbledore sat in his seat, looking tired, "It's late, go back and rest, I'll inform Professor McGonagall to give you extra points for your actions." ā
Darren and Hermione looked at each other, said goodnight to Dumbledore, and left the Headmaster's office to walk down the aisle before they had time to seriously reflect on what had happened.
"It's so dangerous this time, but luckily there are enough coincidences, otherwise it ......"
"Yes, as Professor Dumbledore said, it's a good thing that Slughorn drank with us, otherwise, if there was only one person, it would have been over, and he didn't even have time to shout for help. ā
"By the way," Darren said to Hermione seriously, "thank you for stopping me from drinking tonight." ā
"Ah, that's nothing, I'm just," Hermione didn't really care, "from those books of yours," she frowned, "I don't know what Dumbledore is going to do with this." ā
"How? It's the same as before," Darren said casually, "haven't we had many things happen in the past few years? ā
After listening to Darren's words, Hermione walked quietly, and after a long time, she whispered, "But that's not right!"
"What?" Darren didn't hear clearly.
"That's not right," Hermione's voice was still not loud, but clear, "Hogwarts is a school, it shouldn't handle these things on its own, and it can't do that, the Ministry of Magic has the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Division, and the Aurors, that's who is really responsible, not ......"
At this point, Hermione noticed that Darren had stopped and stared at her, "What's wrong?"
"Why do you think that?" asked Darren.
"I'm just," Hermione took a breath, "after reading those books you gave me, I thought a lot of things shouldn't be like this, but everyone thought there was nothing wrong, just like the last time Katie was attacked, and nothing came out in the end, and the Aurors never came to investigate, as if as long as Katie could heal, it didn't happen!
"yes, it's not fair," Darren said as he looked at Hermione and repeated her words, but he was relieved that the seeds had finally taken root, "but everyone else thought it was normal, because their minds were still at the level of primitive emotional cognition and didn't think too much about it. ā
"Darren, why are you different?" Suddenly, Hermione asked, looking at Darren.
"Me?" Darren sighed at Hermione's question, it was a real feeling, "In the orphanage, that's what it's like, I just have ten more years of experience and time to think than you. ā
"......" Hermione gently hugged Darren and ......
The next morning, while going to breakfast with Hermione, "What gift did you have for Ron?" she asked.
"Gifts, what gifts?" Darren felt a little strange.
"I'm guessing you'll forget," Hermione said, "It's Ron's birthday, and Penelope was the one who made it for you last year." ā
"Oh, I'm not interested in celebrating a boy's birthday......" Darren struggled.
"Well, I've got it ready for you, Quidditch Goalkeeper Gloves, he'll love it," Hermione said, and suddenly a little melancholy, "I didn't expect it to be ......"
For what Hermione didn't say, Darren can also understand, after all, he has known Ron for several years, and he has lived with 12 Grimmauld Place in The Burrow, but now because of emotional matters, there is a trace of estrangement, which is a bit of a pity.
Of course, having said that, Darren doesn't regret it at all!
However, when they returned to the Gryffindor common room, they found that the birthday present might no longer mean anything to the person concerned, and Ron was pestering Harry, "Romida, you just said Romida, Harry, you know her, can you introduce me?"
"What is this?" Darren and Hermione both looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, if Ron's name was Lavender, when did they get together with Romilda?
"Darren, great, you're here," Harry shouted as he tried to get Ron in his chair, "come over and help!"
"What's wrong?" Darren and Hermione hurriedly walked over, but didn't know what to do, because Ron looked a little strange, but he was still conscious.
"Aphrodisiac," Harry said to them after Harry took a moment to get Ron under control, "Ron ate the chocolate cauldron that Romida gave me. ā
Hearing Harry's words, Darren and Hermione understood, "Didn't I tell you to put that thing away or just throw it away, how could it be eaten by Ron?"
"I put it in the box, but when I was looking for Ron's birthday present this morning, it fell on the floor, and he picked it up from the ground and ate it as his own birthday present. ā
"So, such a dangerous thing, you think it's okay if you put it in a box?
āā¦ā¦ā
"Alright," said Darren, "there's no point in talking about that now, let's discuss what Ron is going to do!" He was literally wrestling with Ron right now to prevent this guy from jumping out of his chair and rushing out of the common room.
"You've been putting the aphrodisiac on it for too long," Hermione frowned, staring at Ron, "According to the book, the longer this thing is left out, the stronger the medicine will be. ā
"No wonder......"
Finally, Darren couldn't stand it anymore and pulled out his wand from his body, "It's all petrified!" Ron who was hit by the spell stiffened in his seat, finally quieted down, "Okay, it's much better now," he wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The power of love" is really strong, just like this, it makes people tired enough, "Otherwise, just wait for the effect of the medicine to pass." ā
"But," said Harry hesitantly, "today, it's his birthday......"
