After the start of the school year, Darren and his friends resumed their search for Nicolas Flamel in the library.
Although they had given up all expectations.
But she still fantasized that maybe she would receive news of this person in the next second.
They might find out then what Dumbledore hid in the room at the end of the fourth-floor corridor.
However, everything went wrong. There was no progress.
Wood even brought Harry some sad news: Snape would be the referee for the next Quidditch match. Harry was practically in tears.
He felt that Snape wanted him dead.
“Last time he wanted to kill me… Yes, yes, Darren, you’re right. It’s not necessarily Snape who wants to kill me.”
But now that he's going to be the referee, he really wants to kill me. If I can't win Quidditch, what's the difference between that and being killed?
Harry almost cried when he told Darren and the others the news.
Perhaps because his voice was too loud, he was also tragically kicked out by Mrs. Pince.
Fortunately, Darren and the others went out with him, which made Harry seem less pitiful.
"It's alright. Actually, Professor Snape may look fierce, but he's a very nice person."
As long as you don't provoke him and avoid him, there won't be any problems... Really, I'm not lying to you...
Just as Darren was comforting Harry, he saw Malfoy standing at the library entrance, pointing his wand at Neville.
[Ding! Detecting the presence of the Father System around the host, a temporary mission is issued: Walk up to Neville, point your wand at Malfoy, and angrily say, "Malfoy, if you bully Neville again, I'll tell Professor Snape!"]
[Ding! Quest completed. You have acquired Neville's Herbalism talent. Would you like to accept the quest?]
[Come on!] Darren immediately stepped forward.
He quickly walked to Malfoy's side, shielding Neville behind him, and said angrily, "Malfoy, why do you always bully Neville? If you bully him again, I'll tell Professor Snape and have him put you in solitary confinement!"
His expression was very serious, as if he were about to cast a curse on Malfoy, but what he said made people smile kindly.
The most vicious method this child could think of was solitary confinement?
[Ding, congratulations host, you have completed the mission and obtained Neville's Herbalism talent.] Neville's Herbalism Talent: After use, Herbalism talent +15. Huh?
A person
Has Na'vi's talent in Herbalism reached such a high level?
Although Darren knew from the original book that Neville was well-suited for Herbalism, he never expected that Neville's Herbalism talent had already reached 15 at this time.
Neville never showed any particular talent in Herbalism, leading Darren to believe that Neville's Herbalism talent was at most a 10.
Well, maybe when school started, Neville's Herbalism talent was 10, and now it's 15.
His previous Herbalism talent was 3, which he increased to 10 using talent points. With Neville's 15 talent points, he now has 25 talent points.
Clearly, his talent in herbalism was also genius-level, even in his second year.
He thought excitedly.
Then you see Malfoy's face contorted with rage.
The guy looked at him as if he were a scumbag who had bullied someone. He tilted his head in confusion.
Then they saw Malfoy storm off with Crabbe and Goyle.
Before leaving, they even threatened Neville, saying they would definitely teach him a lesson.
"Oh no, Malfoy must hate me to death."
"Navi said, weeping."
He looked at Malfoy as if he were looking at a demon.
"Neville, you have to be brave!"
Hermione walked over angrily to cheer Neville up.
She never imagined that there were people like Malfoy in the magical world who specialized in bullying others!
"Navie, have some courage and knock him down!"
Ron offered Neville some advice from the side.
Neville shook his head and said sadly, "I don't have the courage at all. I don't even know how I got sorted into Gryffindor. In fact, I think Hufflepuff is a better fit for me!"
[Ding, detecting a scene where the Holy Father System is in action around the host, a temporary mission is now issued: Comfort Neville and cheer him up...]
[Ding! Upon completion of the quest, you have gained Animal Affinity Talent +2. Would you like to accept the quest?]
Huh? It's that natural affinity for animals again. Darren was a little curious.
However, I still immediately clicked to accept the request.
He walked over to Neville, took a chocolate frog from his pocket, and put it in Neville's hand.
He said seriously, "Neville, a few days ago when Malfoy was bullying a Hufflepuff student, you were the one who stood up for him."
Even though you were scared, you stood in front of that classmate, which is why Malfoy has been bullying you every day lately.
So how can you say you lack courage?
Neville, you're a hero, a hero just like your brother!
Neville blushed.
This was the first time he had ever been praised like this.
That was Grandma. Everyone liked to say that he was too stupid, lacked courage, and was cowardly.
But Darren told him that he used to be very brave and a hero, just like Harry Potter.
"I... I just... I just didn't want to see him bullying people..."
Neville stammered.
But Darren had already put his hand on his shoulder and said encouragingly, "I understand, but that doesn't diminish your courage. Here, eat this chocolate frog, and you'll definitely become even more courageous!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission. You have gained Animal Affinity Talent +21.]
Neville looked much happier.
He picked up the chocolate frog and put it in his mouth.
Feeling the bouncy sensation in her mouth, she happily squinted her eyes.
"Cards, Dumbledore's... I don't know if you've collected these cards, Darren. I already have several of Dumbledore's."
Neville handed the card to Darren and left happily.
"I already have too many of Dumbledore's cards, far too many. I suggest you throw them away, Darren!"
Ron pursed his lips, not particularly fond of the Dumbledore Card. He'd much rather collect a complete set of celebrity cards.
"Never mind, I really like Professor Dumbledore... Wait, Ron, thank goodness I didn't listen to you. I think I've found Nicolas Flamel!"

Chapter Ninety-Two: Brother Believes in You!
"Niccolò Flamel is actually here!"
The four of them found an empty classroom and discussed in hushed tones. Hermione suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly said, "I knew it! I feel like I've seen it somewhere before. It's the book 'Hogwarts: A History of the School'."
Darren had mentioned wanting to read the book last time, but I told him I'd already read it and told him not to waste his time. Well, Darren, you're always right!
Hermione looked at Darren with admiration.
Darren quickly shook his head, embarrassed.
"I was just saying it, and I never actually watched it."
"It's all my fault for misleading you. Otherwise, we would have found it long ago. We've wasted so much time. I feel like you've lost weight from exhaustion, Darren!"
Hermione said with heartache.
Ron, who was standing next to Hermione, was a little annoyed and interrupted her.
"What do you mean Darren lost weight from exhaustion? We were all checking the books together, why don't you say we lost weight from exhaustion too?"
"Yeah, yeah, how could Darren possibly lose weight from exhaustion? I keep an eye on Darren every day!"
He had lost weight from hunger. I noticed a couple of days ago that he seemed a bit rounder than before, but now he's back to his former self.
I noticed he's been eating sweets these past few days, that's why he's lost weight!
Harry said unhappily.
He finally noticed that Darren seemed to have gained some weight, but he ate it all back in just two days.
“No, no, I’m the same as before.” Darren quickly denied Harry’s suspicion.
He'd been eating too much and too well lately, and gained some weight. He only noticed it when he looked in the mirror one day, and immediately reduced his food intake to regain his weight. He didn't want to become a chubby little boy and then gain "saintly points." He couldn't bear to imagine that.
"Alright, that's enough. If Darren says no, then no!"
Hermione impatiently swatted Harry and Ron's faces away.
