HP: At the beginning, I influenced Snape's childhood.

Ever since Lin Mo and Snape's date, Snape had occasionally come to the Lin family home. Although Professor Snape had to teach at Hogwarts, he would sometimes come during holidays or to various strange parties.

Once his period of weakness passed, Lin Mo became a wizard and gained magical powers. Snape discovered this by chance during one of his visits and was overjoyed for a long time. Therefore, the serpent king of the dungeons patiently persuaded Lin Mo to go to Hogwarts at the age of eleven.

The earnest and instructive manner made Lin Mo suddenly want to see what Snape would feel like if he went to other magic schools. However, curiosity was not as important as his own Severus, so Lin Mo nodded in agreement.

Regarding Snape coming to their house every day, Lin Boyan didn't react much except for a little jealousy. He knew his younger brother wouldn't suffer any loss, and besides, he himself had liked Snape in his past life, so he eventually stopped caring. (Ahem, mainly because this brother-obsessed guy didn't really have a say. (o^^o)♪)

Because Little Dragon is Snape's godson (not mentioned in the book, this is a personal interpretation), Snape would occasionally go to Malfoy Manor to teach him potions. Knowing that Lin Mo also possessed magic, he simply asked Lin Mo if he wanted to go to Malfoy Manor so he could teach both of them together.

Thinking that he could study, spend time with Severus, and also teach Draco not to focus too much on purebloods, Lin Mo was curious about what would happen if Draco and Harry became friends, so he agreed.

Upon receiving Lin Mo's message, Lin Boyan wrote to Lucius. Lucius was also eager for his eldest son to learn from Lin Mo, and since the teaching would take place at Malfoy Manor, Lucius readily agreed.

In fact, the connection between the two brothers and the Malfoy family has always been subtle. The Malfoys relied on "Yu Ying's" influence to grow their power, while "Yu Ying" used the Malfoy family to do things that were inconvenient for them to do themselves. (Let's just combine Lin Boyan and Lin Mo's code names to represent their combined influence; I'm too lazy to think of anything else.)

"Feather Shadow" disdained to use underhanded tactics against the Malfoy family, and had finally found a useful weapon. The Malfoy family was shrewd and knew who they could cooperate with and who they could oppose, so they naturally dared not make any underhanded moves.

With their interests intertwined, the two sides maintain a delicate balance. The friendship between Lin Mo and Draco can solidify this fragile relationship, which is an outcome that both sides are willing to see. Therefore, neither side is too worried about the other taking action.

In Lin Boyan's words: "If Malfoy wants to mess with Draco, he should consider whether his family can withstand destruction. Whether Draco wants to be friends with him is his choice. I won't actively attack the Malfoy family, after all, they're not of much value to me. So Lucius, being a smart man, knows he can safely let Draco and Draco interact."

Thus, under the premise of consolidating interests through friendship, Lin Mo and Draco became acquainted.

To be precise, this arrogant little dragon became Lin Mo's younger brother, following him around asking questions every day. Whenever Snape asked a question or assigned homework that Draco couldn't answer, Lin Mo would help him, so the clever little dragon learned to cling to Lin Mo's coattails.

A——L——W——A——Y——S

"Little Dragon, stop looking." Lin Mo closed Draco's potions textbook with a mischievous grin. "How about I take you out to play?"

"Oh no!" Draco's face tightened, feigning anger. "You know everything about potions, and you can answer every question the Godfather asks. Compared to me, who occasionally gets it wrong, my dad always criticizes me."

Hearing this, Lin Mo touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. Draco's grades weren't bad, and were even better than those of other young wizards of the noble generation. However, because of Lin Mo's academic genius, the poor little dragon was directly outshone.

"How about this, I'll take you out to play. If Mr. Snape asks you any questions about potions, you can answer first. I'll remember how many you get wrong, and when Mr. Snape asks me, I'll make sure I get more wrong than you. How about that?" Lin Mo coaxed Draco.

"Really?!" The platinum-haired boy's head visibly twitched with excitement. "Then promise me you'll definitely help me!"

"Okay~" Lin Mo nodded and smiled, then casually patted the little dragon's head. Draco hadn't put any hair gel on his head yet, so it felt fluffy. Lin Mo patted it again with satisfaction.

"Ah!~" Draco's plaintive voice reached Lin Mo's ears from below, "You touched my head! I'm going to tell my dad!"

After the period of weakness, Lin Mo's growth rate was even faster than in his previous life, so Draco was more than a head shorter than Lin Mo.

The traditional method of Little Dragon complaining was clearly ineffective against Lin Mo: "Go tell your father, and see who Mr. Malfoy will side with?" He then adopted a "come and hit me" look.

Draco immediately deflated upon hearing this. It wasn't that he hadn't tried before, but without exception, his dear old father would always side with Lin Mo. However, when Xiao Long complained, it was either out of a joke or out of childish temper. In his heart, he regarded Lin Mo as an older brother.

"Candy wrapper." Lin Mo called out, and a house-elf appeared in the living room, bowing to the two young masters: "Greetings, young masters."

"Take me and Draco to 4 Privet Road, Little Wheeking, Surrey, London," Lin Mo said. It was best not to use honorifics when speaking to house-elves, a tip he had learned from books and practical experience.

The next second, Sugar Paper teleported the two of them to the Muggle world, and after delivering them, Sugar Paper left.

"Do you want to find a good friend?" Lin Mo looked down at Draco. He knew that although those younger generation wizards from the noble families seemed to be Draco's friends or followers, how much of that was true friendship? Most of it was probably just entanglement of interests, and even if there was friendship, it would be based on self-interest.

Lin Mo was ultimately not the same age as Draco, and he was afraid that Draco would be lonely if he didn't play with him. So he decided to ask Harry to help Harry have a better childhood, and it would be good for the two of them to be friends and have each other's company.

As expected, Draco nodded seriously. Seeing the little dragon's action, Lin Mo said in his mind, "Changfeng, help me exchange for that top-tier Illusionary Body Charm in the shop."

"2000 points."

"Okay." Lin Mo smiled upon hearing the price and immediately agreed. The top-tier Illusionary Body Spell was a better way to become invisible than the Invisibility Cloak, because while the Invisibility Cloak was prone to falling off and had a limited number of users, the top-tier Illusionary Body Spell could be used on many people. (I'm not entirely sure if the Illusionary Body Spell can be used on others, but since it's top-tier, let's assume it can.)

In fact, Changfeng was very lenient with Lin Mo's use of the system because Lin Mo learned many things very quickly and basically didn't need to exchange points for anything. Therefore, Changfeng gave Lin Mo a lot of benefits, and the things he exchanged were much more valuable than the points he was given. Lin Mo became the king of cheaters.

Having obtained the Disappearance Charm, Lin Mo snapped his fingers, magic surged, and he used the Wandless Spell, successfully making both of them invisible. While Lin Mo himself couldn't use Wandless Spells, top-tier spells could be used without a wand.

Lin Mo said softly, "We're invisible now. I'll take you to see your new friends." Draco replied, "Okay," and was pulled by Lin Mo to a courtyard.

The two saw a thin boy tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, while urging and cursing could be heard from inside the house from time to time.

Hearing the vulgar curses from inside the door, Draco frowned. He was about to speak to Lin Mo when he suddenly stopped, looking at the boy with surprise at the lightning-shaped scar on his bangs, which he had revealed because of the heat.

"The Savior... the Savior Harry Potter?" Draco muttered to himself. He had seen the Savior's picture on Lucius's desk before. At first, he didn't dare to recognize him because Harry in the picture looked quite robust, but after seeing his lightning bolt scar, he was finally certain.

"Hmm," Lin Mo said calmly, ignoring Xiao Long's surprise, "Harry's situation doesn't seem as good as people think. So, want to be friends with him?"

"Yes." Draco answered this question, seemingly guided by some unknown force, and felt a strange sense of relief and happiness afterward.

"Let's go find him." After saying that, Lin Mo released the illusion spell.

Author's ramblings: I've been busy having fun these past two days. I just finished one chapter, but I'll try to write three.

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve! ~(￣▽￣～)~!
