Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 128

And then there were Penny's two bags, which looked like they cost more than his salary for one or two years.

There's even such a beautiful diamond necklace, so next time Penny won't nag him about not having any matching jewelry when they go out to parties.

Darren is such a polite child.

As for the claim that Harry also had a share in this, Uncle Vernon didn't believe it at all.

This kid doesn't have such a delicate mind, and he also dislikes their family very much.

Of course, they disliked each other.

Even if that kid becomes rich, he won't give them a single penny! Darren is a much better kid, a good boy just like Dudley. Maybe he should consider giving Darren the room on the second floor.

As for Harry, he either continues to sleep in the downstairs cubicle or shares a room with Darren.

After all these years, he wasn't afraid that Harry would dislike him even more. Even Dudley thoughtfully opened the car window for Darren to ventilate the car. He also went to great lengths to praise Darren for being handsome and polite.

Harry stood outside King's Cross Station, watching the warm family leave with a happy gaze.

After a long while, I was suddenly stunned.

By the way, did you guys forget something?

Chapter 130 Recognizing a Grandfather?!

Fortunately, Darren quickly remembered Harry. He hurriedly urged Uncle Vernon to go back.

He only breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw Harry. Luckily he remembered, otherwise his character would have been ruined.

Finally, they arrived at Uncle Vernon's house.

After tidying up, Darren and Harry finally settled in. Because of Darren's gift and those words.

Vernon and Penny were obviously much more amiable.

They began to try to accept Harry, and on Darren and Harry's birthdays, Uncle Vernon even bought them a cake himself.

Aunt Petunia bought them both a new outfit. Harry felt more comfortable here.

The only thing that made him feel lost and confused was that since the holidays started, no one had sent him and Darren any letters.

No one gave them gifts on their birthdays.

He also heard Dudley say today that Darren had been looking outside for a long time. Harry thought Darren must be heartbroken.

Because their friends had all forgotten about them. Only the two of them were exchanging gifts. Alas!

at this time.

Harry pitied Darren, who was lying bored in bed.

He had originally intended to sneak a peek at Dobby today.

He was also thinking that if he encountered one, he would definitely observe this house-elf carefully to see if it was really as unreliable as in the original story.

What if this house-pom is like Patchouli, a really great and powerful house-pom?

But we never actually met.

However, he wasn't disappointed; he knew he would see them eventually. It's just that he's having trouble sleeping right now.

Hedwig kept biting the cage, it was so noisy, he still preferred living in a single dormitory.

Darren sighed.

Then he remembered.

He still had one bloodline lottery draw left unused. Perfect, he's free now.

I wonder which lucky dad will be drawn this time. Hopefully, it won't be too surprising.

[System, begin Bloodline Lottery]

[Ding, lottery started, lottery ended. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Remus Lupin bloodline.]

Remus Lupin Bloodline: Upon fusion, grants the werewolf free transformation talent and a Gentle Aura, increasing attraction to all good-attribute animals by 20.

Ah this

Darren stared blankly at the bloodline. A chill suddenly ran down his spine. Was it real?

Is this some kind of trouble-making scheme?

Won't his James dad really jump out of his coffin? Apparently, cremation isn't common in the wizarding world…

No, no!

None of this has anything to do with his mother, Lily; it's all a prank by the system. This is just a reward and doesn't represent what actually happened.

Besides, Lily didn't even have the chance to be with Lupin! However...

Darren still couldn't fall asleep. He needed to calm down.

He felt that Lupin would feel awkward seeing him in the future.

After all, this is a relatively gentle werewolf, loyal to his friends and kind to others.

So, they really won't be together, right?

Darren felt he shouldn't have drawn this reward today. Maybe it would have been better to wait a few days until his luck improved and try someone else?

He scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, Lupin wouldn't be able to recognize his bloodline at a glance like Voldemort.

Then I kept imagining it all. Everything was perfect.

But I really can't fall asleep.

He initially planned to go to sleep after participating in the lottery. Now, however, he's actually more alert than before.

[System, using scene card]

[Ding, scene card successfully used] He's planning to film a movie to clear his head. Darren rubbed his hands together.

He found that the scene in front of him had changed. It was a bridgehead.

An old man was standing nearby. And look at his attire.

Hmm, that's his bedtime outfit. And this is an on-the-spot task!

[Ding, scene card task issued: First stage task: Ask the old man why he is unhappy?]

After completing all stages of the mission, the scene card can be projected into reality. Okay.

It seemed this task was a conversation one. So he looked up at the old man and asked, "Hello, why do you look so downcast? Is something bothering you? If so, you can tell me. We don't know each other, but telling me might cheer you up."

[Ding, scene card task issued: second stage task, listen to the old man's complaints and comfort him, saying that birth, aging, sickness and death are the cycle of the world, and there is no need to be too sad.]

Ok.

It really is a conversation scene.

Why bring up such high-level topics in a simple conversation setting?

And isn't it a bit strange that they're discussing these things on this out-of-place bridge?

Fortunately, these are all scene cards, and they are all fake until he completes the task.

While he was pondering, the old man had already looked over.

"Many of my friends are slowly growing old and disappearing from this world. I am left watching helplessly as I try to hold onto them, but they always refuse to live forever. Some people pursue it, while others reject it. Did I do something wrong?"

The old man spoke earnestly, looking into Darren's eyes. His gaze revealed sadness.

Then he turned around and looked out over the bridge.

Darren looked in the direction he was looking, but there was nothing there, just a blank space. Clearly, the scene card hadn't intended for him to see any of this.

That's a bit too economical.

"I don't know if you've made a mistake."

Darren answered seriously, and a look of understanding flashed in the old man's eyes. The next second, he heard the boy continue, "If you want to live forever, then make yourself live forever; if you don't want to live forever, then give up on living forever."

The cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death continues endlessly in this world. There's no need to be too sad; just be yourself.

[Ding, the third stage of the task is being issued: Listen to the old man's complaints, and when he stops, push him off the bridge.]

Ah this?

Isn't this a bit disrespectful to the elderly and children?

Darren felt this scene was a bit too bizarre. However, he continued with the story.

The old man was clearly shocked by his words, but he also had other thoughts.

"You're still a child; you don't understand the inner turmoil of people's hearts."

When faced with the unknown and the exciting aspects of life, people always have endless ideas; they want more...

The old man suddenly stopped speaking in fear.

Darren didn't see anything, but he still did as the system instructed.
