He succumbed to his drunkenness and collapsed.
Before he closed his eyes, he heard Snape's growl.
"Darren! Darren!"
Snape screamed shrilly.
There seemed to be tears welling up in her voice.
"Dumbledore!"
He almost rushed up to Dumbledore.
Fortunately, Dumbledore stopped Snape.
He walked away with a helpless expression and said with a look of inquiry, "Severus, Darren is fine. He's drunk. Even if you blew up my office, he's just drunk."

Chapter 658 Spreading Rumors!!
"Many people saw it that day, and now they are spreading rumors that Darren was captured by Death Eaters and only returned after going through a life-or-death ordeal."
It was Hermione's voice.
"His condition really seemed like... who would have thought he was just drunk..."
It was Ron's voice.
"I heard he even went to Dumbledore's office. Did he forget because he was drunk?"
Harry's voice.
Darren finally opened his eyes.
He rubbed his forehead and said, "No, it's that I obtained Professor Slughorn's memories. In order to get those memories, Professor Slughorn, Hagrid, and I drank until we were completely out of our minds."
Luckily, I remembered to go to Dumbledore's place, so things weren't delayed!

Darren's words made Harry and the others extremely upset.
It's all because they didn't think of a good solution that Darren could only keep drinking with Hagrid and the others until he got so drunk, and he still had to keep trying to get his memories back.
"It's okay, I drink a little sometimes too. I just don't have a high alcohol tolerance. By the way, how did you end up in the school doctor's case, brother?"

Harry was a bit embarrassed.
Hermione spoke up for him.
"Harry was knocked off the broom by McCall." She smirked.
At that moment, Ginny came in from outside.
Her eyes were also smiling.
"At least we won in the end, and we beat McCall. Let's not talk about that. Darren, how are you doing now?"
Ginny sat next to him.
She looked at him with concern.
Her eyes gradually became moist.
Her face flushed slightly.
Darren wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
He could only ask with concern, "Ginny, are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so red?"
Ginny quickly shook her head.
Despite Ron's disapproving look, she lowered her head and kissed Darren on the forehead.
"No, but when will you finally put people's minds at ease?"
"Sorry……"

[...]
He spoke softly.
But it brought tears to the eyes of everyone present.
the next day.
Darren was discharged from the hospital along with Harry and Ron.
Mrs. Pomfrey joked with them, saying that they were indeed three brothers, as they were all discharged from the hospital on the same day.
After they were discharged from the hospital, Darren noticed that many people looked at him cautiously again, as if they were very afraid of hurting his fragile nerves.
"They spread rumors that you had been captured by Death Eaters..."
Later, someone spread rumors that you had been kidnapped by a mysterious person... They also spread rumors that you had fought with the mysterious person.
The mysterious man killed several Muggles to threaten you. Although you eventually struggled back, your mind was already greatly tormented.
Harry and his friends were dumbfounded by the rumors spread by these people.
Darren accepted it well.
"It's okay. Nobody here had any bad intentions. They're all people who care about me. Even though their eyes were a little strange, I don't blame them!"

[...]
After all, he can gain "saintly father value" just by saying a few words.
Some people even praised him for growing up, which does seem like a way of doing things.
"Darren!"
Luna's voice.
Darren turned his head.
He saw that Luna was holding a roll of parchment.
"Here, this is for you and Harry!"
she said with a smile.
Harry and Ron breathed a sigh of relief.
As Harry unwrapped the parchment, he praised her, saying, "Luckily, Luna, you didn't suspect Darren had been captured by Voldemort like those other people."
"Well, of course I have no doubt about it. After all, I met Darren outside the castle that day, and I could smell the aroma of alcohol on him, which was somewhat like Scotch liquor."
I tried to stop him, but the students who rushed out blocked my way to find him.
She skipped and hopped away.
Ron smiled as he watched her retreating figure.
"I found this girl to be quite impressive; she could identify the type of alcohol on Darren just by smelling it."
Harry and Hermione both looked at him.
His gaze was filled with something indescribable.
But it's okay.
Harry glanced guiltily at Hermione, as if he had cheated on her, and quickly changed the subject:
"Darren, this is Dumbledore's invitation, and it happens to be tonight. It seems he'll let us see those memories this time!"
8 PM.
Harry and Darren sat down in front of Dumbledore right on time.
Dumbledore looked at Darren and gave a helpless smile.
“Oh, Darren, you really scared a lot of professors and students last time…they were so worried about you…”
