Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 139

"So, brother, could I take some money from here to buy gifts for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley? And could I also send Ron and the others a set of books each?"

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]

Harry listened to Darren whispering his question in his ear and chuckled helplessly.

"The money in here is yours too. You can spend it however you want, your brother won't interfere... I just thought you didn't realize they couldn't afford books!"

"How could that be? Mr. Weasley's salary may be decent, but raising so many children is indeed very difficult."

I heard that Ginny wanted to use old books, so I thought I should do something about it!

[Ding, Fatherhood Value +100]

This year's Gidrow Lockhart book is indeed very expensive.

The money Mrs. Weasley had withdrawn wouldn't be enough to buy so many sets of books.

"But what reason could you give?"

Harry scratched his head in frustration.

This way of giving gifts was indeed important; he didn't want Mrs. Weasley to think they were being sympathetic.

"When we go out later, I'll have Patchy deliver it to them under the guise of portraits of the Potter family's ancestors!"

"Okay, Darren, you're always so smart!"

Harry was full of praise.

After leaving Gringotts, Darren called Patsy over.

Amidst Patchouli's repeated praise of Darren's intelligence and kindness, she quickly pulled Harry back to the Weasleys' group.

“Dear Mr. Weasley!”

Patsy suddenly appeared in front of Mr. Weasley. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were startled.

"Hello, I am Patchouli, the house-elf of the Potter family!"

Patchi raised his chin authoritatively.

Despite its small size, it looks exceptionally tall.

“Yes, yes, I remember now, the Potter family business is now in the hands of this Patsy…”

Mr. Weasley whispered to Mrs. Weasley, explaining the concept.

"So, you've come here today to...?"

Mrs. Weasley looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, that's right. It's because the two young masters have been staying at Mr. Weasley's house for a while now."

The ancestral portraits learned of this and believed that the Potter family should respond and not be impolite.

So he ordered me to deliver these gifts..."

Patty snapped her fingers.

A pile of gifts appeared in front of the Weasleys.

Several sets of Hogwarts books, and brand-new wizard robes to prepare. And some other supplies.

The most valuable item is the gift box made of gold.

"These………"

Mrs. Weasley wanted to refuse.

"No, no, no, madam, I am just a poor house-elf. If you don't take me in, I will be punished!"

Patchouli looked troubled.

Then it pointed to the golden gift box, opened it, and proudly said, "This is the latest antidote invented by our young master Darren. The Ministry of Magic is currently preparing to nominate our young master for the Order of Merlin, First Class."

Just three days ago, Headmaster Dumbledore recommended Darren's son; there should be news about it in the papers today!

"So fast?"

Harry and Mr. Weasley rushed forward excitedly. They already knew about the potion Darren had made.

Mr. Weasley also mentioned that Darren should be eligible for the Sir Merlin Second Class Medal.

Harry thought Darren deserved at least First Class, or even Special Class. He never expected him to actually receive a First Class nomination.

"Of course, this is due to Darren's efforts, Patsy's honor, and a great event for the Potter family."

The ancestral portraits in the house were overjoyed; if they could have come out, they would have even wanted to prepare a feast for young Master Darren!

Patty said proudly.

Mrs. Weasley held Darren's antidote with great care.

She exclaimed in amazement, "This is amazing! I feel like, according to the instructions here, it seems like it can cure almost all poisons except for a few special ones!"

"No, no, no, this antidote is fine except for being less effective against wolfsbane... Young Master Darren is a genius, a great honor for the world!"

Patchouli boasted shamelessly.

Darren blushed as he was praised.

It's starting, it's starting! Sure enough, he knew the atmosphere would change instantly once Patchouli arrived.

After Patty left, Mrs. and Mr. Weasley became even closer to Darren.

They even told Fred and George to learn from Darren.

“Oh, Mom…we don’t hate Darren, but you can’t make that comparison. We can’t reach that level…”

"Yes, that's something many professors haven't been able to do..."

They each said a sentence, and then, under Mrs. Weasley's angry glare, they carried away their new set of books.

Ginny also received a new cauldron and a wizard's robe.

"Then let's go home!"

"Yeah, there's nothing fun to do outside..."

Fred curled his lip in disgust. They were even planning to go home and use their ghoul for experiments!

"No, no one is allowed to go back. Today is Lockhart's new book launch, how can you not go and attend?"

Mrs. Weasley said excitedly.

Harry and the others exchanged glances, about to say they didn't like it, when Hermione, who also seemed very excited, exclaimed, "Lockhart? No, I mean he wrote all the books this year..."

"Well, he's incredibly talented... just like Darren. Darren will grow up to be like Lockhart, handsome and capable."

Darren looked embarrassed, but he wasn't really interested. He agreed that Darren would grow up to be good-looking.

But he doesn't believe he'll turn into the flamboyant Lockhart from the original story!

He, Darren, the Little Father, is not a little show-off!

Chapter 143 Poor Weasley!

They soon headed to Flourish and Blotts.

There are so many people here.

People were everywhere wanting to go inside and visit. There was also a large banner hanging outside.

Gidrollowhat.

Signed copies of my autobiography, "The Magical Me," are available for sale.

"Ladies...don't push...don't push..."

"Lohart!"

"He's so handsome!"

"He has also written many books, which are said to be based on his true experiences!"

"I really want to see him soon!"

The witches around them went completely mad. Mrs. Weasley pushed her way in, blushing slightly, and said, "Let's squeeze in quickly, then we can see him!"

Led by Mrs. Weasley, they soon arrived at the front of the crowd. Gilderoy Lockhart was sitting behind a table.

He was surrounded by his large photograph.

He wore a sky-blue robe that perfectly complemented his blue eyes. Every time he winked at those around him, many witches would scream.

A man wearing a pointed wizard's hat was taking pictures of him with a large camera, and said to Ron, "Make way, make way, let me through!"

The lively scene made Ron exclaim, "This looks really amazing!"

Lockhart heard his exclamation.

Lockhart glanced at him, then shifted his gaze to Harry.

After watching for a while, he suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Isn't this Harry Potter? Where's your brother? Where's Darren Potter?"
