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

Sensing a change in his surroundings, Harry looked up warily and scanned his surroundings, noticing two boys taller than him who instinctively ducked back.

Seeing Harry's actions, Draco seemed to scoff with disdain, but looking closely into his blue eyes, one could see concern and heartache in them.

Hearing the voice beside him, Lin Mo turned to look at Draco, then smiled and thought: Really, another two-faced guy. (Why "again"? Guess for yourself. |ω・）)

"Hello, my name is Mo Lin, you can call me Mo. His name is Draco Malfoy, what's your name?" Although Lin Mo knew Harry's name, he still asked him seriously.

"Hello... I'm Harry Potter... You can also call me Harry," Harry said somewhat shyly and cautiously.

Seeing this, Draco reluctantly extended his hand to greet Harry: "Harry, hello, you can call me Draco."

"Okay..." Harry nodded like a kitten, "What are you here for?"

"We..." Draco froze, what could he say? Should he say they were angels who came to save him, or that he was there to be friends? He'd probably be kicked out for being mentally challenged. Completely at a loss, he could only look to Lin Mo for help.

Receiving Xiaolong's look, Lin Mo nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then said, "Harry, your mother... your parents and my... his godfather have some connections, but he's been quite busy, and some special matters have prevented him from visiting you. We heard you wanted to see how you're doing."

Completely ignoring Draco, whose eyes were practically popping out of their sockets in fright. Draco: Dude, what are you doing? Even if you can't figure it out, you can't use my godfather as an excuse! You...you're really brave...(ಥ_ಥ) Don't drag me into this.

Lin Mo changed his words twice. The first time, he thought it was not good to talk about other people's affairs. At least some things could be reminded but not explained by him. The second time, he felt that he and Snape had no relationship in front of others and it was not worth introducing.

A bewildered Harry nodded, about to say something, when suddenly a ball of flesh rolled out of the house—no, a person rushed out: "Harry! What are you doing, you brat? Didn't you hear me tell you to come in and do the laundry?!"

The angry shouting stopped abruptly. Seeing two more children in his yard, Dursley choked for a moment, then his anger flared even more: "Who...who are they?!"

Harry's legs went weak with fear, but he still shielded Lin Mo and Draco behind him, the dazed boy thinking that this would prevent the other party from venting his anger on his two new friends.

Yes, friends. Bullied by Dudley since childhood and disliked by the Dursleys, considered a monster because of his magic, no one his age had ever spoken to him so gently. In young Harry's heart, he already considered the two of them his friends, even if they might not agree.

Lin Mo looked at Harry, who was much shorter than him, trying to shield him and Draco behind him, smiled helplessly, and gently patted Harry's shoulder to comfort him. Such a naive yet trustworthy person was truly hard not to want to befriend; no wonder people say that sincerity is the best weapon.

After gesturing to Draco with his eyes, Lin Mo walked over to Harry and stood at the front, while Harry stood quietly behind Draco and watched.

"Hello, Mr. Dursley." Lin Mo gave a forced smile and a perfunctory greeting. "I'd like to talk to you about Harry."

Dursley was somewhat stunned, and for a moment he didn't understand what the child in front of him meant.

Ignoring the other person's reaction, Lin Mo turned to Draco and said, "Draco, take Harry outside to play for a while. I'll be right back."

After giving his instructions, Lin Mo looked at Dursley again: "Mr. Dursley, won't you invite me in?" Although he looked like a child, his accumulated aura over the years intimidated Dursley.

After a moment, Dursley realized that the other party might be a wizard, so he could only nod solemnly in agreement.

Upon seeing the two enter, Draco pulled Harry aside and told him a lot about the wizarding world and Harry's identity as the savior.

Through the descriptions in the book, the information he had gathered over the years, and his speculation about the Dursleys' feelings, Lin Mo could see Dursley's concerns.

Lin Mo quickly resolved the issue. First, he assured the Dursleys that Harry's magic would not cause any trouble for them and that the events involving the Mystic would absolutely not affect them. Second, he offered Mr. Dursley a job at one of his mid-sized subsidiaries, which would pay significantly more than his current salary. Then, he gave Mr. Dursley a sum of money as an incentive to raise Harry.

Adhering to the principle of "courtesy first, then force," Lin Mo stated that if the other party still could not treat Harry well, some wizards might not give up easily. Moreover, with Lin Mo's power, it would not be difficult to make the other party lose their job; this was coercion.

Mr. Dursley was a smart man who understood the principle that those who are wise will prevail. After pausing for a while to consult his wife, he finally nodded in agreement.

As for Lin Mo's identity, Dursley didn't ask, nor did he want to. Lin Mo's identity wasn't something he could find out just by wanting to know. Besides, even if the other party had kidnapped Harry, he had no blood relation to Harry after all, so naturally he wouldn't care too much.

Of course, he didn't know that later, the dragon really did kidnap Harry.

Now, facing Harry's situation, Lin Mo did not choose to do the same thing he did with Snape back then. Because he was still clear-headed and could distinguish between the pros and cons of Dursley and Tobias, and Harry would have to stay in the Dursleys' house for the next few years, it was of utmost importance to maintain a good relationship with Dursleys. Therefore, Lin Mo chose to treat Dursleys with courtesy first and then force.

When Lin Mo walked out, Dursley was still sitting in his chair, reflecting on everything. He opened the door and saw Draco chatting and laughing with Harry.

"Come on, I'll take you to get something delicious." Lin Mo approached the two and patted their heads. Mmm, double the happiness~ (o^^o)♪

Seeing that Lin Mo looked like he had it all figured out, the two kids didn't ask any more questions. As long as the result was achieved, what did the process have to do with them, these kids who were just lying low? As long as they had a powerful backer, they didn't need to worry about anything else.

Lin Mo took the two children out for a meal and then to the amusement park for a while. He didn't notice anything else, but he could see the little things the two of them did on the Ferris wheel.

Finally, the two took Harry home and agreed to meet again at a later time. Draco seemed reluctant to leave, whether because he had just made a good friend or for some other reason. Lin Mo watched him walk away with a look of reluctance on his face.

Lin Mo and Draco were brought back to Malfoy Manor after Lin Mo summoned the candy wrapper again. The moment they felt the solid ground beneath their skin, they felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.

"Godfather... Godfather." Draco managed to call out the name with difficulty. When he saw Snape, dressed in a black robe, sitting on the sofa watching them, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.

Noticing Draco's reaction, Lin Mo gently tugged at him and looked at Snape, saying, "Sir."

Hearing Lin Mo's voice, Snape nodded, suppressing his anger. (Draco: Not Godfather, you...you're being so hypocritical! I called you too, why didn't you answer? (ಥ_ಥ))

"Let's test how well you've learned Potions," Snape said casually. Draco looked at Lin Mo with a pleading expression, and Snape noticed his subtle movements.

So in the end, although Lin Mo knew Snape had seen it, he still kept his promise, making exactly one more mistake than Draco. Seeing this, Snape sneered and said, "Very well... Draco, you go out, I'll have a good talk with him."

Draco shuddered again, gave Lin Mo a "good luck" look, and hurriedly left.

"Heh..." Snape chuckled expressionlessly at the embarrassed Lin Mo. Lin Mo also gave a dry laugh.

"Fine," Snape finally relented, saying helplessly, "you can sit down."

Author's ramblings: Ugh, I'm really fed up. I fell asleep while writing yesterday (ಥ_ಥ). I'll make up for yesterday's missed chapter today. One more chapter today is like adding another chapter to make up for yesterday's missed chapter.
