Wizards are so efficient.

Given the damage Snape just unleashed, an ordinary person would probably die by the time the ambulance arrived.

In St. Mungo, the treatment was successful in just over an hour.

He really is a wizard.

"That's good, that's good!"

Darren remarked with a sigh.

He got a lot of good stuff from Kenli, and without Kenli, he can't trigger any temporary quests now.

I wonder when the system will issue temporary tasks?

[Ding, sensing the host's thoughts, the system will issue three temporary tasks daily; the host will need to take matters into their own hands for the rest.]

Ok.

So that's how it is. He was wondering why the system wasn't releasing tasks anymore. Apparently, it only releases three temporary tasks per day.

And it is obvious that temporary tasks will yield more rewards.

I wonder what rewards I'll get tomorrow.

……

The boy's eyes lit up the moment he heard the news.

He seemed extremely happy.

He truly had no lingering doubts; he was only happy about Kenli's safety.

Snape clenched his fists, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Lily!

As expected of Lily's child.

Red hair, green eyes, fair skin, handsome appearance, and a personality so similar to Lily's that he couldn't bear to inflict his hatred for James Potter on him.

Lily has two children, Darren Potter and Harry Potter.

He would soften if he had just one; what if he had two standing in front of him?

The same red hair, the same green eyes, the same courage, the same kindness, the same... He felt he might not be able to control himself from showing his soft heart towards the two children.

Dumbledore said that Voldemort would come back, and he had to be a double agent; he couldn't be kind to the two children.

But he simply couldn't find a reason to be bad to the child.

Looking at that face, those emerald green eyes, those red hairs, and his kind and courageous qualities, he really couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh to him.

There's also Harry Potter coming up...

They are twins; they will look exactly alike.

Damn it, he can't see him as James Potter's child at all.

This is his Lily's child!

Heartbroken by Lily's passing, Snape, despite living very close to Privet Drive, never visited Harry Potter.

He thought that by not looking, he could harden his heart, but all of that failed him with Darren Porter.

(P.S.: The original books don't mention whether Snape secretly read Harry Potter. This setting is that he didn't. Don't argue with the author; if you do, you're right!)

Chapter Seven: Packing Up

Darren, unaware of Snape's thoughts, also thought of Harry Potter at this moment.

He never imagined that the famous protagonist Harry Potter was actually his brother.

At the same time, I also feel sorry for the original owner.

Look at Harry Potter, although his parents only stayed with him until he was one year old.

But Lily had placed a bloodline curse on him, which rebounded and killed Voldemort.

Moreover, as long as Harry Potter believes that Petunia's place is his home, Voldemort cannot harm him.

At birth, one has both a name and a status.

Even though Penny treated him badly later, she still provided him with three meals a day, unlike the original owner who often went hungry for two or three days at a time.

Harry Potter became famous in the wizarding world, but the poor original owner of this body died in this small orphanage.

Tsk, how miserable!

Darren was deeply moved.

Then he looked up at Snape.

I don't know if this person has read Harry Potter, but you know that many people have written fan fiction pairings of him and Harry.

I heard he has a crush on Harry?

Oops, I've switched channels.

"Professor Snape, I read in the letter that I have an older brother, Harry Potter. May I meet him?"

The main character, huh?

He's never even seen a creature like the protagonist before!

You will meet after the start of the school year.

Snape spoke with a blank, emotionless gaze.

Darren nodded in disappointment.

I also have to admire Snape's dedication; wow, he's using Occlumency at all times.

Or is he really that much like Lily?

Did this mean Snape could no longer pretend in front of him?

Thinking about this made Darren even more curious about what he looked like now.

The original owner did have red hair and green eyes, but due to injuries, malnutrition, and neglect from the orphanage, she didn't look good.

Not only was he slovenly, but he was also pale, thin, and had sunken eyes.

Darren was disgusted with his appearance back then.

After that, he focused on improving his health every day and tried to get his hands on any food he could find.

However, he hadn't looked in the mirror for several days and didn't know what he looked like.

Especially with the "Saint Father Aura" given by the system, I believe his appearance will definitely improve, but I don't know how much it will improve.

But at this point, he couldn't very well say that he wanted to go back and look in the mirror, so he could only stand curiously next to Snape, pacing back and forth with a restless feeling.

"If you have nothing better to do, use those hands of yours that are always thinking of doing stupid things to tidy up some things!"

Snape glanced at Darren and said sarcastically.

What is so important about Kenli?

Why do we have to stand at the door and wait like idiots?

You'd be better off using that time to pack your things and get some rest.

The marks from the fall a few days ago are still there, and I don't think I'll end up in St. Mungo's or the school hospital a few days before school starts.

And Dumbledore, he's really getting old, his brain's been clouded by sugar, he actually talked for so long with a woman who loves money more than anything. Can't he just forget about it and move on?

He thought the Death Eaters had some excellent ways of solving problems, at least they wouldn't waste time.

Damn it, he came in such a hurry, there was still a pot of truth serum boiling in the crucible.

It's probably useless now.

That damn Dumbledore, why can't he do things faster?

Darren, of course, had no idea that Snape was thinking so much beneath his empty eyes; he had only heard Snape tell him to pack his things.

Hey!

Could it be that Snape noticed his curiosity?

"Okay professor!"

Darren nodded vigorously and walked happily toward his room.

Snape was left watching his retreating figure, silently reminiscing.

Lily!

……

Darren's room was fairly clean.

Although the original owner was a child who didn't like tidying up his room, he is an adult and will occasionally feel like tidying up.

Besides, the room wasn't very tidy.
