"Dumbledore, since when has the idea of equality been used as a reason for your suspicion?"

Chapter Thirty-Four: Jealous of Harry?

"Severus..."

Dumbledore interrupted Snape, leaning back in his chair with a weary expression, and sighed softly:

"I know you might find it hard to believe, but I think you should understand.

Any theory can spark a war, and the magical world cannot endure a third upheaval."

Equality?

If Darren consciously promotes this idea, then goblins, house-elves... all the creatures oppressed by wizards will rally around him.

The chaos he unleashes might be even more severe than what Voldemort and Grindelwald caused.

"So, Darren, why do you advocate for equality?"

Dumbledore straightened up, awaiting Darren's answer.

Darren felt a headache coming on.

Why did he advocate for it?

Of course, it was the system that told him to.

That system detects any opportunity to exploit, and dares to make him say anything.

What could he do?

Okay, he admitted that the more exciting parts were his own ideas, after all, the Saintly Points were too tempting.

They blinded him.

But could he say that?

No.

So he could only say in a dazed tone:

"Because life is inherently equal. Patchy is a house-elf, but he's still so good.

I heard outside that Slytherins are all bad wizards, but I found that Professor Snape is a good person.

Miss Greengrass from Slytherin, although her beliefs are different from mine, kindly took me to St. Mungo's.

Mr. Malfoy is a bit annoying, but he's just being childish.

So life is equal, it shouldn't become unequal just because of who someone is."

Darren stated plainly.

And he used the Slytherins he knew, as well as Patchy, as examples.

[Ding, Saintly Points +100]

[Ding, Saintly Points +20]

Two notifications of Saintly Points rang out.

Darren realized that Dumbledore and Snape each contributed one.

So...

When he met with Snape and Dumbledore before, Dumbledore probably didn't contribute many Saintly Points; it was all from Snape, right?

Damn, that old schemer!

Dumbledore naturally didn't know Darren's thoughts; he simply breathed a sigh of relief, his tone slightly cheerful.

"It seems our little Mr. Darren is always so kind and lovely."

"Hmph!"

Snape snorted.

"Alright, alright, next question, Darren, will you compete with Harry for the position of head of the Potter family?"

What the heck?

Why would he compete for that?

A declining family head position, he really didn't care for it!

"No, I won't."

He said without hesitation.

Snape slammed his fist on Dumbledore's desk, looking at Dumbledore with displeasure and anger:

"You're not going to tell me that you're going to push them into a fight for inheritance right now, are you?"

"No, no, Severus, besides some money and properties, the Potter family doesn't have anything valuable left.

There's only one thing, a treasure that even moves me, but I need it to ensure it ends up in Harry's hands."

Dumbledore sighed softly.

Darren conservatively guessed it was the Invisibility Cloak.

Seeing Snape's still annoyed face, Dumbledore hesitated for a moment before continuing to explain:

"Darren's incident in Diagon Alley has made many people aware that Harry Potter has a younger brother.

Many of them are Harry's fans, and some of them have grown up listening to Harry's stories.

When they learned that Harry had a younger brother, their first reaction was that Darren would snatch Harry's inheritance.

We all know that Darren is a kind child, but they don't know that.

They will only think that Darren is showing off to overshadow Harry's fame and inherit the Potter family.

Because of a secret that cannot be said now, I must ensure that Harry becomes the heir to the Potter family in order to give him that thing.

So I promised them that the Potter family will only be inherited by Harry, even if the Potter family exists because of Darren."

Dumbledore had a bit of a headache.

He never expected that after the news of Darren being Harry's brother spread, most people would react like this.

He really hadn't thought of that before.

To think that he, the great White Wizard, actually used Veritaserum to ask a child such a question; Dumbledore felt somewhat ashamed.

"A bunch of meddling fools!"

Snape commented.

Dumbledore sighed and didn't speak.

The next few minutes were silent. Just when Darren thought the questioning would end like this, Dumbledore suddenly asked:

"Darren, are you jealous of Harry?"

"Dumbledore, why are you asking this question? What are you suspecting?"

Snape questioned Dumbledore.

"Severus, be quiet. Actually, even you are worried that Darren is jealous of Harry, aren't you?"

"I'm just worried that the two little brats she risked her life to protect will eventually turn against each other!"

"Me too, Severus."

"..."

Ah, this?

It seems like this question is indeed valid.

If you ask Darren himself, he definitely wouldn't be jealous. He has the system, doesn't see this place as home, and doesn't view these people as family.

He's more in a game-playing mindset.

Who would be upset because the protagonist in a game has good treatment?

But if the original Darren was here, he would probably be very sad, right?

Harry Potter has fame and so many people care about him.

But he died in that orphanage.

Even if the original Darren didn't die in that orphanage and came here.

He doesn't have the system, so he can only be himself.

Then he would see Dumbledore's suspicious gaze, Snape's complicated bad temper, and many people's wary eyes.

Even because he doesn't have a phoenix egg, he doesn't even have the only house-elf who acknowledges him.

Living like that, the original Darren would probably grow into a major villain, right?

So, answering Dumbledore's question, I can't directly give my own one-sided thoughts.

It's too unrealistic.
