Chapter 15 If I'm Guilty

Darren scrutinized Mundungus in front of him.

Mundungus had a pulled and somewhat stocky beard, his legs were bowed, and his hair was long and messy.

As Darren looked down at him, a pair of swollen and bloodshot eyes looked particularly terrifying

. The strong stench of tobacco and alcohol mixed on his body became more pronounced as Darren got closer.

Initially, Darren had thought Mundungus was dressed in shabby clothes and held an umbrella as a walking stick, resembling a fallen nobleman.

However, upon closer inspection, it seemed like Mundungus might have stolen someone's umbrella.

In the original book, this character was loyal to Dumbledore and helped Harry several times.

However, his poor character, involvement in theft, and indirect contributions to unfortunate incidents raised concerns among other characters, including Mrs. Weasley.

Darren hadn't expected to encounter Mundungus on his journey, and the encounter was unsettling. Despite the intimidating appearance, Darren decided to face the threat head-on.

Closing his eyes and then reopening them, he projected an air of strength, ready to confront Mundungus.

Taking a courageous step forward, Darren's clenched fist revealed the fear in his heart. Despite this, he managed to speak, his lips trembling and eyes showing some fear.

He took a breath, attempting to maintain a calm tone, and said, "Sir, if you insist, then if you kill me, don't harm them, okay? I am willing to sacrifice myself for them."

"If there really is such a fierce and ruthless person as you, then I don't regret breaking in here. I'm just a bit sorry that I haven't met my brother Harry Potter yet, and I miss him so much..."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission and gaining the theft ability of Mundungus.]

Darren read softly and accepted his reward. The theft ability allowed him a 50% chance of randomly obtaining an item within three meters of a person.

Reflecting on the potential of this ability, Darren wondered if he could have obtained Dumbledore's old wand if he had been around him for an extended period.

However, he dismissed the idea, considering Dumbledore's vigilance.

As Darren sighed regretfully, the sound, though low and inaudible, had a profound impact. Onlookers directed angry glares at Mundungus, shocked by his callousness towards a child.

Unaware of the brewing anger around him, Mundungus found himself in a precarious situation.

Hermione, observing from the background, felt a deep admiration for Darren's courage.

She believed him to be a greater man than even Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world.

Despite not meeting his brother yet, Darren faced adversity without flinching, standing tall in front of them.

As the crowd prepared to take action against Mundungus, a voice rang out coldly, suggesting that Mundungus might need a beating before bullying Darren.

The situation escalated quickly, with Mundungus being tied up and subjected to physical punishment.

The screams and chaos continued, leaving Darren both amazed and sympathetic toward Mundungus, who now faced a personal vendetta.

The chaotic scene unfolded, prompting Darren to wonder if Mundungus would be sent to Dumbledore in a battered state, sparking reflections on the fragility of life.
