Hogwarts: I Obtained the Paternal System

Darren did not care in the slightest and simply followed Peeves forward.

He followed Peeves all the way to the top of Gryffindor Tower.

There was a portrait of the Fat Lady here.

"Password!"

"Worthless."

"So are you! Professor McGonagall already told me. You're the new student. I hope you don't wander around at night and disturb my sleep!"

the Fat Lady said with a headache.

The Gryffindor children were always full of energy.

Especially those Twins, who snuck out every single night.

She truly had no idea how she had survived all these years.

"Okay, I won't run around!"

Darren nodded obediently.

He lowered his head and curled his lips. How could anyone come to Hogwarts without sneaking out at night?

Wasn't nighttime wandering one of Hogwarts's defining features?

But he had only just arrived. He had no Invisibility Cloak and did not know the Disillusionment Charm. Running around recklessly would affect his image.

"Ah, such a well-behaved child. I truly hope you're sorted into Gryffindor."

the Fat Lady said with endless emotion before opening the common room door.

It was a place filled with red and gold.

Several sofas and tables had been arranged inside.

A warm fire burned in the Fireplace.

The common room windows rattled loudly in the wind.

It was both warm and comfortable.

There was a staircase at each end of the common room, one leading to the boys' dormitories and the other to the girls'.

Peeves led Darren toward one of the staircases.

She then pushed open the door to the first dormitory.

It was still decorated in red and gold, with four-poster beds and thick scarlet curtains draped around the posts.

Darren chose a bed and placed all his belongings on it. The House-elf would help him arrange them later.

"Thank you, Peeves. Did Professor Dumbledore tell you what I need to do next?"

Darren hurriedly asked.

He had slept for three days, and nine temporary quests had passed. He was now anxious to trigger another quest.

He did not want to lose today's quest as well.

"Yes, Mr. Dumbledore said you could perhaps go to Diagon Alley to buy some things.

"You need a wand and books. There are still three days before school starts, and there is quite a lot to prepare.

"Of course, aside from the wand, you may instruct me to buy everything else."

Peeves said cheerfully, her tone full of respect and enthusiasm.

There was also a kind warmth, as though she were looking at a junior.

By instinct, Darren felt that this House-elf might not be ordinary.

So he smiled and said, seemingly embarrassed:

"Thank you for the reminder, Professor Dumbledore and Peeves. Otherwise, I truly wouldn't know what I should do. Although this is my first time in the Wizarding World,

"I feel that everyone here is a good person. Every single person makes me incredibly happy."

After Darren spoke, Peeves's smile widened.

He could practically hear the sound of favorability increasing by one, then another, then another.

"Dumbledore and the other professors like you very much too."

Peeves praised.

After thinking for a moment, she said hesitantly:

"I wonder whether Mr. Darren has ever tried Apparition? I think it would be faster if I took you to Diagon Alley that way."

"Of course. Thank you, Peeves."

"You are the most polite child I have ever met."

Peeves's eyes were gentle.

She took Darren's hand, and in an instant, they arrived on a bustling street.

"Cauldrons, cauldrons! The latest cauldrons!"

"Nimbus Series Broomsticks, your best flying companions!"

"New pets in stock, ready to be taken to Hogwarts!"

"Mom, I want a quill..."

The street was extremely lively, and Darren clicked his tongue in amazement at the scenes around him.

He had to admit, wizarding things really did look magical.

"How did a Muggle get in here? What bad luck!"

"If you said that in the Muggle world, the Muggles might catch you and use you as a lab rat!"

Just as Darren was marveling at the place, two voices suddenly rang out.

He turned around and found a wizard and an ordinary man locked in a heated confrontation.

The wizard wore a worn-out robe, an extremely shabby pointed hat, and carried an umbrella as a walking stick. He looked exactly like one of those down-and-out nobles.

Darren did not pay much attention to it.

Arguments like this usually did not turn into fights.

It was merely a fallen noble jealous that an ordinary man was dressed better than him, nothing more.

Based on his experience from his previous life, they might not even end up arguing.

[ Ding, the system has detected an opportunity for paternal behavior. A temporary quest is now being issued. Stand in front of that ordinary man and say to the down-and-out wizard in a condemning tone: ]

[ "Sir, I will not allow you to bully ordinary people. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can take it out on me. Even ordinary people are not someone you can bully as you please!" ]

[ Ding, upon completion of the quest, you will receive the title Unlosable Wand. After equipping the aura, your wand will never be lost. Accept the quest? ]

[Accept!]

Although this title seemed inferior to things like the Phoenix Pet Egg, it was still a reward.

Besides, all he had to do was say a few words and make a few gestures.

Darren took a deep breath.

The face that had just been watching the show instantly turned furious.

He took a few quick steps and stood in front of the ordinary man. He silently encouraged himself, then said in a frightened yet righteous, condemning tone:

"Sir, how can you bully ordinary people? What is wrong with Muggles? Muggles are people too. I don't believe you don't have a Muggle among your ancestors!

"If you have any dissatisfaction, take it out on me. I only want to tell you that even ordinary people are not someone you can bully however you please!"

[ Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the title: Unlosable Wand. ]

As the system's mechanical voice faded, a bushy-haired little girl standing not far from the ordinary man gradually softened her gaze as she looked at Darren.

Oh my God, were there really such kind young wizards in the Wizarding World?

P.S. As of now, including website votes and comments-section votes: Gryffindor 0, Hufflepuff 4, Slytherin 4, Ravenclaw 4. This...

Chapter 14: Mundungus

Hermione's impression of the magical world was not very good.

Along the way, they had already endured mockery and sarcasm from several wizards.

At the Leaky Cauldron, one wizard had even pulled out his wand on them. Fortunately, the other wizards there were good people, and they had subdued that wizard together.

But Hermione's impression of the Wizarding World had still plummeted.

At the same time, she began to feel somewhat inferior because of her Muggle background.

It was only a little, but this little girl, who had always been confident in the Muggle world, truly had many worries now.

She worried whether she could really enter Hogwarts.

She had heard that everyone there was a wizard.
