Wizards are efficient indeed.

The kind of damage Snape just unleashed would probably be fatal to an ordinary person waiting for an ambulance.

Yet, at St. Mungo's, he was successfully treated in just over an hour.

Wizards are truly something.

"That's good, that's good!" Darren said with feeling.

He had obtained many good things from Kenley, and without Kenley, he couldn't even trigger temporary missions now.

He wondered when the system would issue another temporary mission.

[Ding, sensing the host's thoughts, the system will issue three temporary missions daily; the host needs to take the initiative for the rest]

Alright.

So that's how it is. He wondered why the system hadn't been issuing them. It turns out it only issues three temporary missions per day.

And clearly, temporary missions yield more rewards.

He wondered what kind of rewards he could get tomorrow.

… …

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

He looked extremely happy.

He genuinely had no gloom, only joy for Kenley's safety.

Snape's fingers clenched, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

Lily, ah!

Truly, he was worthy of being Lily's child.

The red hair, green eyes, fair skin, handsome features, and a personality so much like Lily's made it hard for him to even inflict the hatred he had for James Potter on him.

And Lily had two children, Darren Potter and Harry Potter.

One already made his heart soften; if both stood before him...

The same red hair, the same green eyes, the same bravery, the same kindness, the same… he felt he might not be able to control the tenderness he felt for the two children.

Dumbledore said Voldemort would return, and he had to play the double agent well. He couldn't be kind to these two children.

But he couldn't find a reason to be unkind to this child.

Looking at this face, looking at those emerald eyes, looking at that red hair, and his kind and brave qualities, he really couldn't say anything harsh to him.

And then there's Harry Potter…

They are twins; they will look exactly alike.

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

This was his Lily's child!

Because of the grief over Lily's departure, Snape, even though his home was very close to Privet Drive, never went to see Harry Potter.

He thought that if he didn't look, he could harden his heart a little, but all of that was undone by Darren Potter.

(ps: The original work doesn't mention whether Snape secretly watched Harry. Here, it's set that he hasn't. Don't argue with the author; if you do, you're right!)

Chapter 7: Packing

Darren, unaware of Snape's thoughts, was also thinking about Harry Potter.

The famous protagonist Harry Potter was actually his brother; he never would have imagined that in eight lifetimes.

He also felt a little sorry for the original owner of this body.

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

But Lily cast a blood protection spell, which rebounded and killed Voldemort.

And as long as Harry Potter believed that Privet Drive was his home, Voldemort couldn't hurt him.

From birth, he had a name and status.

Even if Petunia treated him badly later, she still gave him three meals a day, unlike the original owner of this body, who often went hungry for two or three days at a time.

Harry Potter was famous in the wizarding world, while the poor original owner died in this small orphanage.

Tsk, so tragic!

Darren sighed.

Then he looked up at Snape.

He wondered if this guy had seen Harry Potter. He knew that many fanfics later wrote about him and Harry as a couple.

He heard that he had a crush on Harry?

Ahem, wrong script.

"Professor Snape, I saw in the letter that I have a brother, Harry Potter. Can I meet him?"

The protagonist, eh.

He hasn't seen a protagonist-type creature yet!

"You will meet after the start of the term."

Snape said with an empty gaze, devoid of emotion.

Darren nodded in disappointment.

He also sighed at Snape's dedication. Good heavens, constantly using Occlumency.

Or was it that he really looked so much like Lily?

That Snape couldn't even pretend in front of him anymore?

Thinking of this, Darren was even more curious about what he looked like now.

Before, the original owner of this body was indeed red-haired and green-eyed, but because of injuries, malnutrition, and the orphanage's lack of care, he didn't look good.

Not only was he unkempt, but he was also sallow and emaciated, with sunken eyes.

Back then, Darren disliked his own appearance.

Afterwards, he focused on nourishing his body every day, trying to get his hands on anything edible.

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

Especially after obtaining the Saintly Father Halo from the system, he believed that his appearance would definitely improve; he just didn't know to what extent.

However, he couldn't just 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 an itchy feeling in his heart.

"If you have nothing better to do, you can use those hands of yours that are always thinking of doing stupid things to pack your belongings!"

Snape glanced at Darren and said sarcastically.

What was so important about Kenley?

Why stand at the door and wait foolishly?

With this time, you might as well pack your things and rest.

The marks from the head injury a few days ago are still there. Don't tell me you want to be admitted to St. Mungo's or the school hospital a few days before the start of the term?

And Dumbledore, he's really old, his brain is addled with sugar. Why is he talking so long with a woman who loves money like her life? Can't a Forgetfulness Charm solve the problem?

He felt that some of the Death Eaters' ways of solving problems were very good, at least they wouldn't waste time.

Damn it, he came too hastily, and he was still brewing a pot of Veritaserum in the cauldron.

It should be ruined now.

That damn Dumbledore, why can't he be quicker when doing things?

Darren certainly didn't know that Snape had so many mental activities under his empty gaze; he just heard Snape tell him to pack his things.

Aha!

Could it be that Snape had discovered his curiosity?

"Okay, Professor!"

Darren nodded vigorously and walked cheerfully towards his room.

Leaving Snape to look at his back and remember silently.

Lily, ah!

… …

Darren's room was fairly clean.

Although the original owner of the body was a child who didn't like to tidy up, he was an adult, and he would occasionally have the whim to tidy up a bit.

Moreover, there wasn't much to tidy up in this room.
