Chapter 116: Antidote Formula!!

~7 min read 1,218 words

Perhaps because they were too happy, Snape’s detention was ultimately not confirmed for Darren.

But Darren noticed that his attitude toward Harry was even worse.

Before, it was mostly anger mixed with ridicule; now it was disgust mixed with anger and ridicule.

Well, overall, this year ended like this. No.

It was still a little bit away from being perfect. The final exam scores came down. Darren got first in the whole grade.

Every professor gave him a perfect evaluation.

As for Harry and Ron, they also passed the exams with high scores.

This was clearly Hermione’s credit.

Finally, their luggage was placed on the train. And they also received a notice.

They were required not to use magic during the summer vacation. Hagrid sent them to the train station.

The train quickly drove into the platform, and they arrived at Platform 9 and 3/4.

"Harry, Darren, remember to write to us during the summer vacation!"

"You both must come to our house to play during the summer vacation!"

Ron and Hermione said excitedly.

Harry’s mood was a bit lost.

When he was in the wizarding world, he felt like a savior, but in front of his aunt and uncle, he became that detestable bug again.

Fortunately, Darren was with him.

Only he felt this news was even worse.

He didn't really want Darren to know the kind of life he had lived before, nor did he want Darren to come over and be scolded.

But Dumbledore said this was necessary.

"Oh, Darren, Dumbledore said you have to live at Aunt and Uncle’s house with me; what do you think... otherwise let Paqi clean them up first?"

Harry thought excitedly.

However, he was refused by Darren, who took out two large gifts from his suitcase, handed one to Harry, and took one himself.

"Brother, Headmaster Dumbledore also told me that we need to live at Aunt’s house all the time."

But going to Aunt’s house, we also have to bring gifts.

Before, Harry, you didn't have money, so you were eating and drinking for free at Aunt and Uncle’s house.

But now we have money, we need to give them the living expenses to thank them for raising you.

[Ding, Saint Father value +50]

Harry was a bit moved, but still a bit unwilling; he said somewhat unwillingly: "They locked me in the small cupboard under the stairs and even thought I was a monster... I still don't like them."

[Ding, detected a scene where the Saint Father system can be used around the host; now issuing a temporary task:

Walk to Harry’s side, press his shoulder and say: Brother, I know your sadness.

But this kind of life is actually really much better than living in an orphanage; those teachers are very good to us in front of people, but behind our backs, they often don't give us food.

I was always hungry for two or three days; one time I was too hungry, I rummaged through the trash can for food, and ended up grabbing a bunch of rotten leaves; guess what?

I stuffed them all into my mouth and ate them, because if I didn't eat, I was afraid I would starve to death, and then I wouldn't be able to wait for Mom and Dad to come pick me up.]

[Ding, after the task is completed, you will receive the reward: Antidote Formula; does the host accept the task?]

Antidote Formula?

Darren was stunned for a moment.

He remembered that the wizarding world already had antidotes. Could it be that the system wanted him to make a pirated version?

Darren thought suspiciously. However.

[Accept]

He walked to Harry’s front, held Harry’s shoulders with both hands, and showed a comforting smile on his face.

He said gently: "Brother, I can feel your current discomfort, as well as your disgust for Uncle and Aunt."

"Actually, after you came to school, I let Paqi secretly inquire about your life before; at that time you were always locked in a small cupboard and bullied by Dudley."

"Sorry brother, I wasn't by your side and couldn't protect you. If I had been by your side, you definitely wouldn't have had such a miserable childhood!"

Harry hurriedly shook his head; his eyes turned red, and he hurriedly said: "It’s not your fault; I didn't find you back then either; if I had found you, maybe you wouldn't have had to stay in the orphanage..."

He had also asked Paqi about Darren’s life in the orphanage, but Paqi wouldn't tell him, saying Darren wouldn't let him.

So he went to several professors to inquire.

Only then did he know that Darren had lived so miserably before, even more miserably than he had at Aunt’s house.

"Brother, see, you also know the orphanage wasn't good; Aunt is clearly much better to you than those teachers in the orphanage were to me."

"Those teachers always forgot to give me food; one time I was hungry for three days, I was really too hungry."

"I ran to rummage through the trash can, touched a handful of stinky vegetable leaves; guess what I did?"

"I ate the vegetable leaves, because if I didn't eat, I would starve to death."

"I kept fantasizing that Mom and Dad would come pick me up; maybe I had a brother or sister; would they like me..."

"Then I saw you, brother; you are the best brother in the world and the savior of everyone; I am really happy..."

Darren said with red eyes; Harry sniffed. He thought he had already guessed what Darren was going to say.

"Yes, brother, forgive them! On the day we lost Mom, Aunt also lost her sister."

"She was clearly afraid of your magic and thought you were a monster, but she still took you in."

"Mr. Dumbledore said he left a letter for Aunt and Uncle and put you at their doorstep."

"But he didn't give any money, nor did he hand over Mom’s remains to her sister. Mom was a great person in the wizarding world, but she was also Aunt’s sister."

"Even at that time, after Voldemort died, there were still many Death Eaters wandering around, and Aunt and Uncle still took you in at the risk of danger."

"This is what I am grateful to her for; she is a woman who is impossible to like, but I am still grateful that she raised you; perhaps, should I thank her?"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for perfectly completing the task; received Antidote Formula, received Scene Card x1]

Antidote Formula:

The latest antidote formula in the future wizarding world, can neutralize over three hundred types of toxins, three times more than known antidote formulas.

Ah, this!

If he takes this antidote formula out now, would it be a bit too genius?

Petunia is clearly a housewife, Vernon earns money alone, she raises her sister’s child; even now, some husbands wouldn't agree.

Let alone that this child was a monster in their eyes...

Of course, if you have different opinions, then you are right, I am wrong!


— Author's Notes —

ps: Whether reading the book or watching the movie version, I always feel Dumbledore was too hasty at the time, not even giving people money, just letting people raise the child.
