Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 1: Let’s show off. Stop pretending. Your dad is a wizard.
On the evening of July 1991, 7, the lawn of number 15 Privet Drive.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

A blond boy, about eight years old, was crying loudly, his little hand still holding a lollipop - even though his palm was empty, with nothing in it.

The instigator of all this, Cohen Norton, had already walked home with his back to the child.

Cohen was a thin eleven-year-old boy with neatly styled black hair. He wore a white T-shirt and blue jeans and lived in number five, Privet Drive.

In his hand was the fifty-pence fan-shaped rainbow lollipop that he had just "generously" given to the neighbor's child.

"Desserts are still more joyful - and even better if you don't have cavities."

Cohen licked the lollipop in his hand with satisfaction.

The pain caused by tooth decay is too far away for a child who changes his teeth more diligently than he changes cups.

Now that I've been reborn, I should first enjoy the carefree and happy time with the children - and complete the task at the same time.

[Ding! Goodwill +1, Sin +1]

[Note: Giving candy first and then grabbing it is immoral and you will be condemned by your conscience]
An electronic synthesized voice rang in Cohen's ears. Of course, Cohen only "selectively" heard the first part, the accusation against the system...

It was a small system. It was so angry that it broke down because it found out that Cohen exploited a loophole to get double mall currency. It cried and made a fuss. It was so pitiful.

The system did not appear out of thin air, and Cohen of Privet Drive certainly did not appear out of thin air.

To be precise, it was a car accident more than a month ago that brought Cohen to this familiar yet unfamiliar world. He was truly a truck driver from another world who came to do business.

Privet Drive, the villa next door at number 4 is home to the Dursleys, and there's a "Harry Potter" who rarely appears outside. All the elements are complete.

Cohen instantly realized that he was in the world of the famous "Harry Potter".

As an Earthling who has read the original novel several times, Cohen is well aware that his childhood and youth might not have been so good.

After all, Harry Potter is exactly the same age as him, and he actually knows some "magic" such as making objects float, disappear out of thin air, and teleport with his mind. Everything in the magical world must be related to him.

In this world, he also has a pair of adoptive parents who dote on him extremely. Both of them are Muggles who cannot use magic - at least no trace of magic was found in the original "Cohen's" memory.

But the world of Harry Potter is not friendly to Muggles, especially after the resurrection of the final boss Voldemort.

If you want to protect your parents' safety, you have two options.

Either flee Europe as quickly as possible, or kill Voldemort in advance——

I fought Voldemort? Really?

Along with it came a less competent system called the "Redemption System."

"Open the panel." Cohen muttered.

A broken, half-black and half-white virtual circular interface appeared before my eyes.

In the middle is Cohen's simple and rough attribute panel.

Cohen Norton

[Race: Dementor/Human/? /? /? ]

[Soul Completeness: 11%]

[Special Ability Unlock: None]

[Soul Strength: 11]

[Current Goodwill Value: 1250]

[Current Sin Value: 250]

When Cohen first inherited the body of the eleven-year-old boy, he was completely in disbelief when he saw the word "Dementor".

Apart from having a mouth-like organ, as a human with a normal appearance, I have absolutely nothing to do with Dementors!

But as he gradually explored his body, a terrible truth emerged.

He seemed to be a Dementor in human skin. He could see the "souls" in people and had an irrepressible hunger for souls. Especially when he was close to other people, Cohen couldn't help but want to suck on them from a distance.

This behavior is certainly dangerous, as Cohen's attempt on his sleeping adoptive father, Edward Norton, almost sucked the guy's soul out.

Although Cohen stopped in time, something was still sucked out by Cohen, maybe the soul, or maybe "happiness", this thing is sweet and not greasy.

This is also the reason why Cohen always has candy with him. Eating sweets is like eating his soul.

After taking a minute to accept the fact that he was a terrible Dementor, Cohen began to delve into this "redemption system."

First of all, the system gave Cohen a magical function that seemed useless but actually allowed Cohen to judge whether to run away first or suck the opponent's soul first after encountering the enemy.

He could see the soul strength of anyone, like a virtual digital label marked on the head of all creatures. As long as Cohen wanted to see it, the number would always appear immediately.

Soul strength should be the standard that Cohen uses to judge whether he can devour the target soul. The soul strength of Cohen's adoptive father Edward is 10, so Cohen can absorb it, while Cohen's adoptive mother Rose has a soul strength of 20 points, so Cohen can't absorb her at all.

Cohen's soul strength is linked to the integrity of his soul, and Cohen's soul integrity is obviously shockingly low.

But at least the integrity of the soul can be improved, and the method of improvement is in the system's store - perhaps also by absorbing human souls.

Because when Cohen was sucking Edward's soul, he saw that the integrity of the soul was fluctuating. If he had not stopped immediately, Edward's soul would have become data on Cohen's system panel.

However, Cohen believes he is a humanoid creature, full of humanity, and would not do something as evil as sucking out the soul of his father, who toiled every day to prepare meals for his family. The system has two stores: the "Goodwill Store" and the "Sin Store." Whenever Cohen does something good or bad, the system will award him "Goodwill Points" or "Sin Points" based on the impact of the event. These system currencies can be used to purchase items in the corresponding stores.

What the system didn't expect was that after it calculated the perfect intention value, Cohen turned around and ruined the good thing, so it had to continue to provide Cohen with subsequent sin values, so that Cohen could easily make two profits.

There was no way around this system, except to make various insinuations about Cohen's behavior during each broadcast.

The items in the two stores are also completely different. The items in the Goodwill Store are mostly normal props that look very sunny and cheerful, such as manuals and books that record various positive magical knowledge, magical animals, magical plants, non-black magic props and other items.

The props in the sin shop appear to be much darker, with numerous black magic books, evil materials that are obviously banned in the magic world, and even "souls".

The souls here include not only "soul fragments" worth one thousand sin points that can improve Cohen's soul integrity, but also the souls of living people.

The Tortured Human Soul

[Collections from another world can be used to create a variety of evil magic items, including but not limited to 'Horcruxes', evil spirit puppets, etc.
——You can always hear the screams of the soul, maybe the next one will be you]

[Value: 7000 Sin Points]

This price is enough to snatch lollipops from seven thousand kids. It's so evil.

So Cohen didn't buy anything from the Sin Shop except the "soul fragments" that improved the integrity of his soul - not because he didn't have enough money.

However, the increase in soul fragments is not optimistic.

When Cohen first arrived in this world, his soul integrity was 10 and his soul strength was also 10. After doing evil for so long and finally accumulating a thousand sin points, his soul integrity only increased by 1% and his soul strength only increased to 11 points.

As for the special ability with all the question marks in the middle...

He had no clue, and the system didn't respond when he asked it, which made Cohen quite skeptical about the completeness of the system.

Fortunately, the integrity of the soul does not seem to have any impact on Cohen's normal life, so Cohen does not need to rush to do bad things to make up for the integrity of the soul.

This meant that he could enjoy his last carefree days before Hogwarts delivered his acceptance letters.

But now, a less good news surfaced as Cohen walked into his living room.

There was a little gray owl running around frantically on the ceiling of the living room. There was only one possibility for such a thing to appear in one's home - a letter from Hogwarts.

Today is Cohen's eleventh birthday. It is indeed time for Cohen to receive the admission notice. However, Cohen waited for the whole morning but did not receive the letter. Otherwise, his "doing good things" plan would not have been implemented until the afternoon.

A middle-aged man with messy light blond hair rushed towards Cohen with a look of joy on his face, waving something with curled edges that looked like parchment in his hand.

"Oh, Cohen! My dear son, you are going to Hogwarts!"

Edward, Cohen's adoptive father, is in his forties and has accomplished nothing. For so many months, Cohen has always known him as a househusband who stays at home every day to take care of housework. Although the dishes he cooks are not that dark, at least there is no trace of magic.

It doesn't make sense. Why would he be excited about his son enrolling in Hogwarts, an "unpopular school" that was completely unknown in the Muggle world?
You know, some time ago, Edward and Rose were preparing Cohen's new school uniform for Smelting Middle School.

According to Edward, this school is the best private secondary school in the southeast of England. He especially emphasized that the food would not disappoint Cohen - even though Cohen repeatedly emphasized that he just liked to eat desserts regularly and was not a big eater, and the food was simply not worth mentioning compared to the teaching environment.

Then there is only one possibility, Edward is a wizard who has deliberately concealed this from his family for such a long time.

Bushmen, are wizards really creatures that can be so easily sucked of their souls by Dementors and then continue to sleep like dead pigs?!
Wait, that's not right...

Is the soul strength of an adult male wizard so low?

Only 10 o'clock?
The soul strength of a Muggle is only between 5 and 10 points! (Cohen previously thought that Rose's 20-point panel was a superhuman among Muggles)

This is only the soul strength of Cohen, a half-dementor! Even Cohen is already 11 o'clock!

Or is it that a normal wizard should be like Rose, my adoptive mother? 20 points?
Cohen had never seen other wizards, and based on his parents' two samples with huge differences in soul strength, he had no way of determining what a normal wizard was like.

"Okay Edward, your voice will soon be heard in the living room of the Dursleys next door. Don't forget Dumbledore's reminder."

The woman in the violet jumpsuit came down the stairs and harshly criticized Edward.

The woman with long brown hair is Cohen's adoptive mother, Rose.

Although she was the same age as Edward, she still looked very young, with a pair of light blue pupils as beautiful as an elf hidden in the lake - of course, when she was fierce to Edward, she looked more like a hungry tiger.

But she was a different person when facing Cohen.

"Cohen, Mom is very happy that you can be admitted to Hogwarts. Your dad will tell you everything later. Mom will go to a seminar at a newspaper and may not be able to sing for you at your birthday party."

Rose leaned over, smiled and kissed Cohen on the forehead, and her expression changed faster than the speed at which the TV switched from BBC to ITV.

"But mommy will bring you a birthday present. Love you."

Before Rose hurriedly left, she sternly reminded Edward, "Don't scare Cohen."

After the tigress left, an excited Edward moved Cohen to the sofa.

"Now that the notice has arrived, it's time for us to confess some truths to you."

"Yeah, yeah, if there's anything you don't understand about the wizarding world, you can ask me."

Cohen really wanted to answer like this, but when he thought about how to explain to Edward why an eleven-year-old boy who had never been exposed to magic knew about the magical world...he decided to pretend to be mute.

"Uh-huh." Cohen sat obediently on the sofa and listened.

"Dad is telling you, Dad is a wizard, the kind that can do magic."

I'm also revealing my cards. I'm a Dementor, the kind that sucks your soul.
