Hogwarts: I got the Holy Father System
#5 - Section 5
However, a nod was enough.
Dumbledore didn't expect him to understand right away.
He chuckled, patting Darren's shoulder with a smile, "Let's go, dear Darren, perhaps we should have a good talk with your headmistress about your situation."
The headmistress was named Linda, and she was the fiercest teacher in the entire orphanage.
The memories Darren had fabricated didn't slander her; she had indeed starved the original owner many times, each time for two or three days.
She had also beaten the original owner for some minor things, forcing him to kneel before the Lord and confess his mistakes.
After obtaining the original owner's memories, Darren couldn't help but marvel at Mrs. Linda's ferocity.
Of course, what impressed him even more was her ability to rake in money.
Mrs. Linda often took the children from the orphanage to attend charitable events.
She had these children ingratiate themselves with kind-hearted and naive young ladies or wives, obtaining large sums of donations.
Mrs. Linda wouldn't invest all of these donations into the orphanage.
Instead, she would use one-thousandth of it to add a library to the orphanage, which the orphans weren't allowed to enter, to promote Mrs. Linda's educational philosophy.
The remaining funds would be sent to her son studying in France, hoping that he could live a life in upper-class society after completing his studies.
The philosophy she often instilled in the children was that they shouldn't eat too much because there was no money.
The original owner suffered from malnutrition every day, and at eleven years old, he was probably even thinner than Harry.
At least Petunia gave Harry Potter three meals a day and wouldn't starve him for two or three days at a time.
If Darren hadn't transmigrated and used his adult sweet talk to please a few new teachers, getting an extra piece or two of bread as a snack every day, he might have had to fight wits and courage with Kenley on an empty stomach.
Dumbledore followed Darren to Mrs. Linda's room.
This woman had smooth, golden hair, and she was wearing an expensive long dress, currently applying nail polish in the office.
Hearing someone knock on the door, she quickly put away the nail polish and pretended to be reading a book.
After Dumbledore entered for a while, she pretended to have just noticed him, standing up in an exaggerated and pretentious manner.
"Oh my, I was so engrossed in reading that I didn't see you. May I ask who you are, sir? What brings you here?"
"Dumbledore."
Dumbledore said sternly.
He took Darren's hand, pulled him to his side, and said coldly, "Darren is the child of a friend of mine. I have finally found him today, and I need to take him away."
"Ah! Take Darren away? Oh my, are you serious? Our little Darren is so clever and sensible. He is simply an indispensable part of our orphanage. If you want to take him away, you need to have a good reason, right?"
In one sentence, if you want to take Darren away, you have to pay more!
Every time an orphan was to be adopted, Mrs. Linda would squeeze a portion of money from the adopters.
It was said that things obtained for free were not cherished, and she would only feel at ease sending her "little darlings" from her orphanage away after receiving the money.
Dumbledore frowned, his expression even more serious.
However, he didn't explode, but turned to look at Darren, squeezing out an awkward smile, saying:
"Child, pack your things first, I may need to discuss some matters."
Obviously, Old Dumbledore was preparing to give Mrs. Linda a small lesson.
Trying to play tricks in front of this White Wizard, Mrs. Linda had clearly not been beaten up by a wizard before.
No, perhaps she had, but it had been Obliviated?
Darren blinked, wanting to go out directly and wait for the woman to be beaten up.
But thinking of his Holy Father aura, he quickly said, "Professor Dumbledore, you don't have to pay for me, I can't let you spend money for me…"
[Ding, Holy Father Value +50]
Chapter 6 They are Twins
The Holy Father Value that he freely displayed was obviously not as much as when the system issued a mission, but Darren still smiled very contentedly.
His smile was without any gloom, making people feel happy just looking at it.
Dumbledore was unsurprisingly infected by his smile.
"Oh, dear child, you don't think I would use my own money, do you?
Your parents have many Galleons… Well, I may not have told you what Galleons are yet, but you can ask Snape, who is your future Potions professor, he's here!"
Dumbledore pointed to the outside of the window.
Darren looked back and sure enough, a gloomy, black bat-like man was pressing his face against the window, his nose seemingly flattened a bit.
He didn't expect Snape to do this.
Darren almost burst out laughing.
However, he immediately thought of his Holy Father aura and quickly stopped his uncouth behavior.
He scratched his hair as if embarrassed, lowered his head to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, and then strode out eagerly.
"Professor Snape, is Kenley better?"
[Ding, Holy Father Value +50]
Darren accepted the Holy Father Value, looked at Snape, his face full of concern.
He only remembered this when he heard Dumbledore say that Lily and James had left Galleons.
Kenley was injured, Mrs. Linda would likely make him pay for the damages.
What if Dumbledore thought he was kind and really used his money to compensate Kenley?
Although just now Kenley was badly injured by Snape, and all the little brats he brought were so scared that they ran away.
They probably thought a murderer had come to the orphanage.
But this shock wouldn't last long, they would likely come back in a while to complain to Mrs. Linda.
At that time, Mrs. Linda would stop them and demand compensation, using the excuse of hurting children.
Heavens, Kenley was so tall, he suspected he wasn't much different from Hagrid, how could he still be considered a child?
And if Mrs. Linda really brought up the issue of compensation later, would he really have to pay?
That was his private property!
Otherwise, should he pretend to faint?
Darren thought tangledly.
The boy's face was full of hesitation and sadness, as if he had lost something important.
But how could Kenley be so important?
Didn't this child know that Kenley had cruelly hurt him?
Or was he too kind?
So kind as to be foolish?
Lily, what should I do with him?
If you were here, would you praise him, or would you gently reprimand him, telling him to take care of himself first?
Snape silently looked at Darren for a long while, before finally saying in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Use your… brain to think, if something had happened to him, I wouldn't still be standing here!"
Wizards who hurt Muggles would also be sent to Azkaban!
Although he used some methods to cover it up.
Those damned fools in the Ministry of Magic actually thought Kenley was a twenty-something-year-old mental patient with giant blood who wanted to attack him.
"In about ten minutes, he should appear!"
Huh?
Darren's eyes lit up.
Listening to Snape's tone, Kenley should already be better?
And he was fine too?
Tsk, truly worthy of being the most famous double agent in the magical world, he felt that this business was very skilled!
He just didn't know how Snape got away with it?
Shouldn't he be detained in the Ministry of Magic for a period of time?
From Dumbledore's appearance to now, Snape had probably only left for a little over an hour, when did the Ministry of Magic's efficiency become so superb?
Darren was curious, but now as a "don't understand anything" kid, he couldn't ask these things.
He only needed to know one thing, Kenley was fine and would appear soon.
He didn't have to pay money.
Hehe!
