Harry and Darren turned to look at her.
Luna didn't look at Harry; she looked at Darren.
"Darren, I think I saw you inside..."
"Shut up, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"Hermione said angrily. Darren also felt it was bad luck."
But he reassured Hermione, saying, "It's alright, I'll just avoid it!"
Hermione grabbed Darren's arm and dragged him away.
Harry quickly followed.
Luna silently stared at the curtain for a while before walking out, suddenly becoming melancholy.
She would occasionally look at Darren with a sorrowful gaze. This angered Harry.
However, at this time, they were still looking for Sirius, and no one had time to pay attention to Luna.
They placed another mark in the room. Then, they pushed open another door.
After the door was pushed open.
Harry suddenly shouted excitedly, "This is it!"
They saw that the place was filled with a diamond-like brilliance. There were also mechanical watch dials.
And there was a clock beneath a large crystal dome at the far end. Jumping lights shimmered on the ceiling and floor. Harry's eyes lit up.
Then he said, "This is it!"
Darren glanced at him, then said in a low voice, "Brothers, don't rush, wait here. I'll go check if there's any trace of Sirius..."
He rushed in, wand in hand.
Harry was startled. He chased after him and rushed out.
Ginny and the others followed suit. The room was filled with the sound of footsteps. Harry walked through the 97th shelf... and then he stopped.
He saw rows of crystal balls.
"Harry, this crystal ball has your name on it!"
Ron said suddenly.
Harry quickly turned to look at the crystal ball. A strong desire welled up within him. He reached out and touched the crystal ball.
"Brother, no! This is a conspiracy!"
Darren's voice rang out.
But Harry had already placed his hand on the crystal ball.
Then, a black rope suddenly appeared and bound Harry tightly.
And it continues to tighten.
"stop!"
Darren quickly waved his wand, and a barrier appeared in front of Harry and the others.
It seems to separate them from the space in front, creating two separate spaces.
Harry and the others then saw a few people coming out from behind the gate. Lucius Malfoy.
Crabbe, Gore.
Bellatrix, and several Death Eaters he didn't recognize.
"It's here, Darren Porter. Stop struggling. The Dark Lord knew you were coming, so how could he not have made preparations?"
606
Chapter 606 The poison is about to take effect!!
Harry froze.
They looked at the Death Eaters before them in terror. Had they attracted...?
This word reminded them of the conspiracy Darren had just mentioned.
"Sirius..."
Harry was tightened by the ropes, but he still cried out in concern. Malfoy chuckled.
He's still perfectly fine at home!
"There's nothing we can do, we really can't catch him, but... Potter, you clearly don't understand the meaning of dreams. A dream is just a dream!"
Malfoy's words left Harry frozen in place. He was almost speechless.
Darren waved his wand, clearly not intending to say anything more to these people. He prepared to leave.
But when he was about to lead these people out...
He discovered that ropes bearing the mark of the Dark Lord were rising from beneath Luna and the others' feet.
These ropes bound them together.
And it suddenly made them feel as if they were carrying an immense burden.
Furthermore, Darren discovered that Harry, who was initially tied up, was now showing signs of poisoning.
Malfoy laughed loudly.
"So, Darren Porter, you may leave now. Your friends will die in half an hour."
Of course, if you want to save them, then you should smear these ropes with your blood and let them go inside your body.
They will only imprison you for ten minutes.
I think if you can let us get that Crystal 023 quietly, we will leave. Today, no one here will lose their life.
Malfoy laughed.
Darren hesitated. He looked at Harry and the others, his face turning deathly pale.
But he still acted very quickly.
He cut his palm and then placed his hand on the rope. Sure enough, the moment his blood touched it...
The ropes then contracted and entered his body through his wound.
This process is obviously extremely painful.
But Darren just trembled from the pain and moved on to the next person.
He whispered in Hermione's ear, "Untie it and run, understand? Don't worry about me, I won't die!"
Hermione's eyes were bloodshot.
She couldn't utter a single word. But she tried her best to believe Darren. Because Darren said he would come back. He had always been telling the truth.
After Daren had gathered all the ropes, he leaned against the wall, his face pale.
"Hahaha, very good, very good, Harry Potter, hand over your crystal ball to us!"
Malfoy laughed loudly.
"It's now!"
Darren suddenly shouted.
This was his hint to Harry and the others, telling them to run away with the crystal ball.
Even if they might not be able to escape, they at least had to try. Sure enough, Harry and the others rushed towards the door.
Darren stood in front of Malfoy and the others.
He said firmly, "The only way out is for me to die!"
"Then kill him!"
Bellatrix raised her wand.
Malfoy grabbed Bellatrix's wand.
He said anxiously, "The Dark Lord forbids me from killing him!"
"He thwarted our plans!"
Bellatrix said with a sneer.
"Let me talk to him, let me talk to him, I'll try to persuade him!"
Malfoy walked up to Darren, who was eager to see what Malfoy would say in his words.
Then Malfoy silently said, "Knock me out, and run!"
Darren was almost moved to tears.
But it's just fast.
This is clearly the result of Malfoy's two-pronged investment strategy.
