Chapter 576 Let Me Go!!
Darren's words were not agreed with.
He was stopped in the Gryffindor common room by the Gryffindor students and was not allowed to leave.
He could only sit on the couch and sigh, pretending to reproach himself. Okay.
Alas, he was not alone in sighing. Angelina kept crying.
Because the Seeker and the Beaters were gone, even if the Quidditch team still existed, it was useless.
Hermione and Ginny grabbed Darren's clothes.
The two of them held Darren on the left and right, afraid that Darren would rush out again on impulse.
"What about Ron?"
After Darren sighed and realized he couldn't get any Holy Father points, he finally remembered Ron.
Hermione and Ginny shook their heads.
They didn't know where Ron had gone.
"As soon as our game was over, Ron flew away. He must be very uncomfortable."
Harry said helplessly.
Darren was about to say something when he saw the door to the Gryffindor common room open.
Speak of the devil.
Ron was back.
He threw the broom on the ground.
"This is terrible. I'm quitting the Quidditch team. I think Angelina should choose a more reliable player."
"Don't be like this. If you quit, Angelina might have to disband the team!"
Harry said bitterly.
He told Ron what Umbridge had done. Ron looked at them in shock.
Then he cursed Umbridge for a while.
He thought Darren would correct him, but Darren didn't. His eyes were fixed straight ahead.
Then he suddenly said, "There's good news. Hagrid is back!"
...
Fifteen minutes later.
They had already rushed out of the castle under the invisibility cloak.
They hurried through the cold wind and snow and finally reached Hagrid's hut.
"Who is it?"
Hagrid heard the knocking and opened the door.
Darren and the others made a sound.
Hagrid happily stepped aside.
"Take off the invisibility cloak and let me see you!"
Hagrid said cheerfully.
Under the light, his face looked especially frightening.
It was blue and purple, still swollen, as if it had been beaten into pulp and then healed again.
"Hagrid, I think you should go to the hospital wing!"
Darren said solemnly.
He lifted the invisibility cloak. Hagrid bent down and hugged him.
"Oh, finally seeing you again, Darren. Everything really feels like yesterday.
I remember four years ago you were a little boy. Now you're a big lad. The only change is from cute to handsome!"
Hagrid praised loudly.
Darren couldn't help smiling.
But he immediately looked seriously at Hagrid's face.
Then he took a bottle of potion out of his pocket and said, "Actually, I injured my hand before… ahem, anyway, I brewed this potion myself."
[Ding, Father +100]
[Ding, Father +100]
[Ding, Father +100]
[Ding…]
"Hand injury? When?"
Hermione asked sharply.
She grabbed Darren's hand and carefully examined it.
"No, no…"
Darren pulled his hand back.
In fact, there had still been a faint mark a few days ago.
That was when he was carving an alchemy spell and accidentally stabbed his hand. After brewing the potion, the wound had already healed.
He put the potion back in his pocket. It just so happened that Hagrid was injured, so he took it out to farm some Holy Father points.
Darren's words made Harry and Hermione feel very distressed. But seeing his evasive attitude, they didn't press further.
After all, Darren didn't want to talk about it, and besides, the wound might already be healed. They trusted Darren's potion.
Moreover, Hagrid was standing in front of them with such a frightening face.
With scars all over it, it seemed that Hagrid was the one who needed more concern.
But Hagrid himself didn't care about his injuries.
He also didn't want to use Darren's potion.
He said weakly, "Anyway, it hurts when you use it, and if it suddenly turns out like this again, it'll attract attention."
"So you fought with the giants and brought one back?"
Darren directly pierced through Hagrid's concealment.
Hagrid froze.
He quickly denied it. "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense. How could Hogwarts allow a giant? And I don't even know a giant that well!"
Darren was amazed.
Because what Hagrid said sounded very real… his lying skills were quite good now.
This explanation dispelled Harry and the others' suspicions. Even Hermione felt that Darren had guessed wrong.
Naturally, Darren didn't insist.
So he smiled, changed the subject, and said, "Anyway, Hagrid, your injuries can't be delayed. You must drink the potion. Don't keep letting yourself get hurt.
If you keep getting injured, Headmaster Dumbledore might not let you continue as a professor. After all, there's no professor who walks around covered in scars every day."
[Ding, Father +100]
[Ding, Father +100]
[Ding, Father +100]
[Ding…]
Hagrid didn't care about that.
"We have to trust Dumbledore!"
After that, they talked about Hagrid's experiences with the giants.
Hagrid had convinced the giant leader on the first day. But that very night, the leader was killed.
On the second night, they went to find a new giant leader.
That leader wasn't interested in them and wanted to kill them. Thanks to Madame Maxime, Hagrid managed to escape.
However, because of this incident, the new giant leader resented them even more.
On the third day, they discovered that Death Eaters had also arrived. The new giant leader became interested in the Death Eaters.
Hagrid and the others could only keep contacting the giants who were willing to listen to them, but the Death Eaters hunted them down.
At the same time, the new giant leader hunted them and even attacked the giants who wanted to listen to Hagrid.
In the end, the attempt to win over the giants failed. Only Hagrid's younger brother was brought back by him.
Darren shook his head helplessly.
Then he suddenly stood up.
He said vigilantly, "Umbridge is coming. I heard her footsteps."
Harry and the others quickly covered the four of them with the invisibility cloak. Darren also used a Vanishing Charm to make the teacups they had used disappear.
Sure enough, just after he finished, there was a knock on the door.
It was Umbridge.
With a condescending smile, she appeared at Hagrid's door.
She said smugly, "You are Hagrid, right? Do you know who just came here? I just saw four sets of footprints outside. Tell me."
