Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 126

However, we should bring gifts when we visit our aunt's house.

Harry, you used to have no money, so you ate and drank for free at your aunt and uncle's house.

But now that we have money, we need to pay them child support to thank them for raising you.

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +50]

Harry was touched, but still a little resentful. He said somewhat bitterly, "They locked me in a small cubicle under the stairs and thought I was a monster... I still don't like them."

[Ding, detecting a scene where the Holy Father System is in action around the host, a temporary task is now issued:]

He walked over to Harry, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "Brother, I know you're sad."

But this kind of life is actually much better than living in an orphanage. The teachers treat us very well in front of others, but they often don't feed us behind our backs.

I often go hungry for two or three days. Once, I was so hungry that I rummaged through the trash can for food and ended up grabbing a bunch of rotten leaves. Guess what?

I stuffed them all into my mouth and ate them all, because if I didn't eat something, I was afraid I would starve to death, and then I wouldn't be able to wait for my parents to come and pick me up.

[Ding! Mission completed, reward: antidote recipe. Would you like to accept the mission?]

Antidote formula?

Darren paused for a moment.

He remembered that the magical world already had antidotes. Could it be that the system wanted him to make pirated versions?

Darren thought to himself, puzzled. However...

[Receive]

He walked up to Harry, put his hands on Harry's shoulders, and gave him a reassuring smile.

He said softly, "Brother, I can feel your pain and your disgust for your uncle and aunt."

Actually, after you came to school, I had Patchouli secretly find out about your past life. Back then, you were always locked in a small cubicle and bullied by Dudley.

I'm so sorry, brother, I wasn't there for you, I couldn't protect you. If I had been there, you definitely wouldn't have had such a tragic childhood!

Harry shook his head quickly, his eyes reddening, and hurriedly said, "It's not your fault. I couldn't find you back then either. If I had, maybe you wouldn't have had to stay in the orphanage..."

He also asked Patsy about Darren's life in the orphanage, but Patsy wouldn't tell him, saying Darren wouldn't let him.

So he asked several professors for their opinions.

I only found out that Darren had lived such a miserable life before, much worse than when he lived with his aunt.

"Brother, see? You know the orphanage is bad, but Auntie is obviously much nicer to you than the teachers at the orphanage are to me."

Those teachers always forgot to feed me. Once I was starving for three days. I was so hungry.

I ran to rummage through the trash can and found a handful of rotten vegetable leaves. Guess what I did?

I ate the vegetable leaves because I would starve if I didn't.

I keep fantasizing that my parents will come to pick me up, and maybe I have a sibling, and I wonder if they'll like me...

Then I saw you, brother. You are the best brother in the world, and the savior of everyone. I am so happy…”

Darren spoke with red eyes, and Harry sniffed. He thought he already knew what Darren was going to say.

"Yes, brother, be forgiving of them! On the day we lost our mother, our aunt also lost her sister."

She was clearly afraid of your magic and thought you were a monster, but she still took you in.

Mr. Dumbledore said he left a letter for his aunt and uncle and dropped you off at their doorstep.

But he neither gave any money nor handed over his mother's body to her sister. His mother was a great figure in the magical world, but she was also his aunt's sister.

Even after Voldemort died, when many Death Eaters were still wandering around, your aunt and uncle still risked their lives to take you in.

This is what I'm grateful to her for. She's a woman no one can like, but I'm still grateful that she supported you. Perhaps I should thank her?

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have perfectly completed the mission and obtained the antidote recipe and 1 scene card.]

Antidote formula:

The latest antidote formula in the future wizarding world can neutralize more than 300 kinds of toxins, which is more than three times that of known antidote formulas.

Ah this!

Wouldn't it be a bit too much to praise him for sharing this antidote formula now?

P.S.: Whether reading the book or watching the movie, I always felt that Dumbledore was too hasty back then, not even giving them money, and just letting them raise the child.

Penny is clearly a housewife; Vernon is the sole breadwinner, and she supports her sister's children—some husbands wouldn't agree to that nowadays.

Not to mention that this child was a monster in their eyes...

Of course, if you have a different opinion, then you are right and I am wrong!

Chapter 128 Weight Loss Potion!

After Darren accepted the reward, he looked at the recipe for the antidote and was then shocked.

The formula for this antidote looks familiar.

It's similar to the current antidote formula, but it contains three more common medicinal herbs.

However, these three common medicinal herbs made this antidote surpass the original antidote in effect.

Darren decided to give the antidote formula to Patty later, saying that he had made it by accident and let her test its effects.

Then apply for a patent.

"Maybe I can even get a Merlin Medal!" Darren smiled.

Then he looked at the scene card and declined to use it at this time. This thing is like filming a movie; perhaps he should use it at night. Speaking of which, he seems to still have one bloodline lottery draw left unused.

Let's use it together tonight!

At this point, it was necessary to reassure Harry again. Harry was clearly very moved by what he said.

I was almost in tears at this point.

Darren coughed, interrupting Harry's daydreaming about how much Aunt Petunia had cared for him all these years.

In this house, Father only needs him! So he looked at Harry and whispered, "Brother, we should be grateful to Aunt Petunia, but I've decided to teach Dudley a lesson for bullying you!"

Harry was pleasantly surprised.

Darren has finally stopped being so kind.

Then he heard Darren say viciously, "If we run into him, we'll punch him, hmph, scare him to death!"

Ah... Harry suppressed his surprise. It's still Darren. He hasn't changed.

Kindness can lead to revenge that's just a punch.

Sigh, as expected, no matter how smart the younger brother is, he still needs the help of his older brother.

Harry smiled proudly.

"I said, are you all ready?"

Just as Harry and Darren had walked a short distance in search of Uncle Vernon, a man with a face flushed purple yelled at Harry and Darren.

"Uncle Vernon!"

Harry was startled to see Uncle Vernon appear before them.

Even though he had just thought that Uncle Vernon had a tough time, now he felt nothing but disgust and fear.

Aunt Petunia and Dudley stood behind Uncle Vernon, but Aunt Petunia's eyes were red, as if she had just been crying.

Darren suspected she had overheard his conversation with Harry, so he politely took out his large gift bag and said, "You must be Aunt and Uncle, right? My name is Darren, Darren Potter. This is a gift I prepared for you, Aunt and Uncle, this is my first meeting..."

"I don't want your wizards'..."

Uncle Vernon's words of refusal and disgust remained unspoken. He saw Darren pull out a car key.

"This is a new car from England. I know men love cars. Don't worry, it's a regular car. I hope you like it, Uncle!"

Darren handed the car keys to Uncle Vernon. Uncle Vernon hesitated before extending his hand.

He suspected that Darren was lying to him, or playing a prank, or that it would turn into a toad.

But he still reached out his hand. Nothing had changed.

It feels amazing; it's exactly the same as the car key his boss had when he drove for him last time.

He then looked Darren up and down, trying to find something wrong with him so he could yell at him and regain his dignity as his uncle.

However, he was stunned when he looked at Darren.

Darren was wearing custom-made handmade clothes, neat and clean, with delicate patterns visible on them.

Uncle Vernon estimated that the clothes Darren was wearing were worth around a thousand pounds.

Looking at his hair, although a wisp of hair on his forehead ruined the neatness of his hair, it actually looked surprisingly quite pleasing.

He turned back to look at Harry. Harry was dressed the same way.

But he clearly doesn't look as handsome as Darren in it.
