Chapter 273

"So, Brother, can I take some of the money inside to buy gifts for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley? And can I also send a set of books to Ron and the others?"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

Harry listened to Darren, who was whispering his question in his ear, and smiled helplessly.

"The money in here is yours too. How you spend it is up to you, Brother won't interfere... It's just, I thought you hadn't realized before that they couldn't afford the books!"

"How could I not? Although Mr. Weasley's salary should be alright, it's truly difficult to raise so many children.

I heard that Ginny has to use old books, so I thought I should do something!"

【Ding, Saintly Father Value +100】

This year, Gilderoy Lockhart's books are indeed very expensive.

To buy so many sets of books, the money Mrs. Weasley took out wouldn't be enough.

"But, what reason should we use?"

Harry scratched his hair in a tangle.

The way of giving gifts is truly important; he didn't want Mrs. Weasley to think they were pitying them.

"When we go out later, I'll have Pachi send them over in the name of the Potter family ancestor portraits, that will be fine!"

"Alright, Darren, you're always so smart!"

Harry exclaimed in admiration.

Once they were out of Gringotts, Darren called for Pachi.

Amidst the background noise of Pachi repeatedly saying "Little Master Darren is so smart" and "Little Master Darren is so kind," he hurriedly pulled Harry back to the Weasley family's group.

"Dear Mr. Weasley!"

Pachi appeared in front of Mr. Weasley with a 'pop'. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were startled.

"Greetings, I am Pachi, the house-elf of the Potter family!"

Pachi lifted its chin majestically.

Despite its small body, it looked exceptionally tall.

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember now, the Potter family's business is now... managed by this Pachi..."

Mr. Weasley whispered to Mrs. Weasley to enlighten her.

"Then, what are you here for today..."

Mrs. Weasley looked at it with confusion.

"Oh, it is like this: because the two little masters have been staying at Mr. Weasley's house during this time.

The ancestor portraits learned of this matter, and they believe the Potter family should respond; we cannot be impolite.

So they ordered me to bring these gifts..."

Pachi snapped its fingers.

A pile of gifts appeared in front of the Weasley family.

Several sets of Hogwarts books, as well as the brand-new wizard robes that needed to be prepared, and some other utensils.

The most valuable was the gift box made of gold on top.

"These..."

Mrs. Weasley wanted to refuse.

"No, no, no, Madam, I am just a poor house-elf; if you don't accept them, I will be punished!"

Pachi put on a troubled expression.

Then it pointed to the gold gift box, opened it, and said proudly: "This is the latest antidote invented by our Little Master Darren. The Ministry of Magic is currently preparing to nominate Little Master for the Order of Merlin, First Class.

Just three days ago, Headmaster Dumbledore acted as Little Master Darren's recommender; the newspaper should mention this matter today!"

"So fast?"

Harry and Mr. Weasley rushed over excitedly. They had long known about this potion Darren had made.

Mr. Weasley had even mentioned that Darren should be able to receive an Order of Merlin, Second Class.

Harry thought Darren deserved a First Class, or even a special class. He didn't expect a First Class nomination.

"Of course, this is the result of Little Master Darren's hard work, it is also Pachi's honor, and even more so, a grand event for the Potter family.

The ancestor portraits at home are overjoyed; if they weren't unable to come out, they would even want to prepare a banquet for Little Master Darren!"

Pachi said proudly.

Mrs. Weasley held Darren's antidote treasure.

She said with immense emotion: "Truly amazing, I feel that according to the instructions here, it seems that except for a few special toxins, it can cure almost everything else!"

"No, no, no, this antidote isn't very effective against wolfsbane, but everything else is fine... Little Master Darren is a genius, he is the pride of this world!"

Pachi boasted shamelessly.

Darren's face turned red from the praise.

It started, it started; sure enough, he knew that once Pachi arrived, the tone would change in a second.

After coaxing Pachi away, Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley became even closer to Darren.

They even told Fred and George to learn from Darren.

"Oh, Mom... we don't dislike Darren, but you can't make comparisons like this, we can't reach that level..."

"Yeah, this is something many professors haven't achieved..."

They said one after another, and then, under Mrs. Weasley's glare, they carried away their own sets of new books.

Ginny also got a new cauldron and wizard robes.

"Then let's go home!"

"Yeah, there's nothing fun outside anyway..."

Fred curled his lips in disdain; they were planning to go home and use the ghoul in their house for experiments!

"No, no one is allowed to go back. Today is Lockhart's new book signing event, how can you not go and visit?"

Mrs. Weasley said excitedly.

Harry and the others looked at each other, just about to say they didn't like to watch, when they heard Hermione say, looking very excited: "Lockhart? No, I mean all the books this year were written by him...

*Cough*, he is very talented... just like Darren, Darren will also become like Lockhart when he grows up, handsome and capable."

Darren showed an embarrassed expression, but in reality, he wasn't interested at all. He would admit that he would grow up to be good-looking.

But he would not admit that he would become the flashy, showy type of Lockhart from the original work!

He, Darren, the Little Saintly Father, is not a little show-off!
