Chapter 24
Darren didn't care at all and just followed Pachi forward.
Following Pachi, they walked all the way to the top of the Gryffindor tower.
There was a portrait of the Fat Lady here.
"Password!"
"Worthless."
"You're the same! Professor McGonagall has already told me you're the new student. I hope you won't wander around at night and disturb my sleep!"
The Fat Lady said with a headache.
Gryffindor children always have a lot of energy.
Especially those two twins, who are practically wandering at night every day.
She really didn't know how she had gotten through these years.
"Alright, I won't run around!"
Darren nodded obediently.
Lowering his head, he curled his lip; coming to Hogwarts and not wandering at night? How is that possible?
Isn't wandering at night a specialty of Hogwarts?
However, he had just arrived, and without an invisibility cloak or a Disillusionment Charm, running around would affect his image.
"Ah, such an obedient child, I really hope you get sorted into Gryffindor."
The Fat Lady said with infinite emotion, then opened the door to the common room.
This was a place filled with red and gold.
It was furnished with some sofas and tables.
A warm fire was burning in the fireplace.
The windows of the common room were being rattled by the wind.
It was both warm and comfortable.
At both ends of the common room, there was a staircase, one leading to the boys' dorms and the other to the girls'.
Pachi led Darren toward one of the staircases.
Then it pushed open the door to the first dormitory.
It was still a red and gold layout, with four-poster beds and thick scarlet blankets wrapped around the posts.
Darren chose a bed and put all his things on it; the house-elf would help him tidy up later.
"Thank you, Pachi. I wonder if Professor Dumbledore told you what I need to do next?"
Darren asked hurriedly.
Having slept for three days, nine temporary tasks had passed, and he was now anxious to trigger tasks.
He didn't want to lose today's tasks as well.
"Yes, Mr. Dumbledore said that you might be able to go to Diagon Alley to buy some things.
You need a wand, as well as books. There are three days left until school starts, and there are still quite a few things to prepare.
Of course, except for the wand, you can order me to buy the others."
Pachi said happily, its tone full of respect and enthusiasm.
And also a bit of the kindness of looking at a junior.
By intuition, Darren felt that this house-elf might be unusual.
So he smiled and said, as if embarrassed:
"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore, and thank you for the reminder, Pachi. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do. Although this is my first time in this magical world.
I feel that everyone here is a good person, and everyone makes me feel incredibly happy."
After Darren finished speaking, Pachi's smile grew even wider.
He could practically hear the sound of favorability +1, +1, and +1.
"Dumbledore and the other professors also like you very much."
Pachi praised.
Then it thought for a moment and said hesitantly:
"I don't know if you have ever tried Apparition, Mr. Darren? I think taking you to Diagon Alley like that would be faster."
"Of course, thank you, Pachi."
"You are truly the most polite child I have ever seen."
Pachi's eyes were gentle.
It took Darren's hand, and in an instant, they arrived at a bustling street.
"Cauldrons, cauldrons, the latest model of cauldrons!"
"Nimbus series brooms, your best helper for flying."
"New pets, can be taken to Hogwarts."
"Mom, I want a quill…"
The street was extremely lively, and Darren looked at the surrounding scene with amazement.
You have to say, wizarding things just look magical.
"How could a Muggle come here? How unlucky!"
"If you said that in the Muggle world, you might be caught by Muggles as a lab rat!"
Just as Darren was sighing, he heard two voices ring out abruptly.
He turned his head and saw a wizard and an ordinary person confronting each other.
Looking at that wizard, with his worn-out robes, extremely tattered wizard hat, and an umbrella used as a walking stick in his hand, he looked just like some down-and-out aristocrat.
Darren didn't pay much attention.
Bickerings like this usually don't lead to a fight.
It was just a down-and-out aristocrat jealous that an ordinary person was dressed better than him, nothing more.
Based on his experience from his past life, they might not even end up arguing.
【Ding, the system has discovered room for Saintly Father behavior. A temporary task is now issued: stand in front of that ordinary person, face the down-and-out wizard, and say in a condemning tone:
Sir, I will not allow you to bully an ordinary person. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can vent it on me. Even an ordinary person is not someone you can bully at will!】
【Ding, after completing the task, you will receive the title "Unlosable Wand." After wearing the halo, your wand will never be lost. Do you accept the task?】
【Accept!】
Although he felt this title was worse than things like the Phoenix Pet Egg, it was still a reward.
And it was just a matter of saying a few words and doing a few actions.
Darren took a deep breath.
The face that had just been watching the fun instantly became angry.
He stepped in front of the ordinary person in two or three strides, gathered his courage, and said in a fearful but righteous and condemning tone:
"Sir, how can you bully an ordinary person? So what if they are a Muggle? Muggles are people too. I don't believe you don't have a single Muggle in your ancestry!
If you have any dissatisfaction, you can vent it on me. I just want to tell you that even an ordinary person is not someone you can bully at will!"
【Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the title: Unlosable Wand.】
As the system's mechanical voice faded, not far from the ordinary man, a little girl with messy hair looked at Darren with increasingly gentle eyes.
Good heavens, is there such a kind little wizard in the magical world?
