CHAPTER-13 Stopping Conflict

Darren nodded, understanding that Dumbledore might want him to be sorted into Gryffindor House.

Given his Gryffindor lineage and the fact that the protagonist would also be there, it seemed necessary for him to familiarize himself with the house in advance. Even if he did end up in Gryffindor, there was a chance that even his bed wouldn't change.

Regardless of the assigned house, Darren was confident he could play the role of a father figure in any college, even Slytherin.

Unperturbed, Darren followed Paige up to the top of the Gryffindor Tower, where the Fat Lady's portrait hung.

"Password!"

"Worthless."

"So are you! Professor McGonagall has already told me that you're a new student, and I hope you won't disturb my sleep by roaming around in the middle of the night!" the Fat Lady complained with a headache.

Gryffindor kids were known for their boundless energy, especially those mischievous twins who were active almost every night. The Fat Lady couldn't fathom how she had managed all these years.

"Okay, I won't run around!" Darren nodded obediently. It wasn't the time for nighttime adventures, especially without an invisibility cloak or the ability to cast a phantom spell.

Darren wanted to make a good first impression.

"Ah, such a well-behaved child, I wish I had been assigned to Gryffindor," the Fat Lady said with infinite emotion, opening the door to the lounge.

The Gryffindor common room was adorned in red and gold, radiating warmth. There were sofas, tables, and a fireplace casting a cozy glow. The lounge windows crackled in the wind, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Staircases led to boys on one side and girls on the other. Paige led Darren down one of the stairs, pushing open the door to the first bedroom.

The room maintained a reddish-gold layout, with a large four-cornered pillar bed wrapped in a thick scarlet blanket. Darren chose a bed and placed his belongings on it, leaving the house-elves to tidy up.

"Thank you, Paige.

I wonder if Professor Dumbledore has informed you about what I need to do next?" Darren asked hurriedly. Three days had passed since he woke up, and he was eager to trigger the next mission. He didn't want to miss another day's task.

"Yes, Mr. Dumbledore mentioned you might need to visit Diagon Alley and purchase some supplies. You'll need a wand, books, and more, at least three days before school starts. Feel free to let me know if there's anything specific you need," Paige replied cheerfully, her tone full of respect and enthusiasm.

Intuitively, Darren felt that the house-elf might not be ordinary. So he smiled and said as if embarrassed, "Thank you, Professor Dumbledore and Paige, for your guidance. Even though it's my first time in this magical world, everyone here makes me incredibly happy."

When Darren finished, Paige's smile grew even bigger. It seemed like he could hear the sound of +1+1+1 of goodwill.

"Dumbledore and the other professors also liked you very much," Paige exclaimed.

After thinking about it again, he said hesitantly, "I wonder if Mr. Darren, have you ever tried phantom shapeshifting? I think it's quicker to take you to Diagon Alley like this."

"Of course, thank you, Paige."

"You are the most polite child I have ever met," Paige said, her eyes gentle.

Taking Darren's hand, Paige transported them to a lively street in an instant.

"Crucible crucible, the latest crucible!"

"The Light Wheel series broom, your perfect companion for flying."

"New pets can be brought to Hogwarts."

"Mom, I want a quill pen..."

The streets were extremely lively, and Darren was amazed at the scene around him. Not to mention, everything in the wizarding world had a magical touch.

"How did Muggles get here? It's perplexing!"

"If you say that in the Muggle world, you might end up being treated as guinea pigs!"

Just as Darren was sighing, he heard two voices suddenly ringing out.

He looked back and saw that it was a wizard and an ordinary man who were fighting each other. Observing the wizard's torn robe, extremely worn wizard's hat, and an umbrella used as a cane in his hand, he seemed like a fallen nobleman.

Darren didn't care. Instances like these mouth-wringing quarrels were generally not easy to get involved in. It was often the case that fallen nobles were jealous of ordinary people who dressed better than them, and they were just venting their frustration.

Based on his experience from his previous life, Darren knew it might not be worth quarreling.

[Ding, the system found an opportunity for the Father's behavior and now releases a temporary task: block the ordinary man, face the fallen wizard, and say in a condemning tone:

"This gentleman, I don't allow you to bully ordinary people. Whatever dissatisfaction you have can be vented at me. Even if it's an ordinary person, it's not someone you can bully casually!"]

[Ding, after the mission is completed, you will gain the title "Wand Guardian." After wearing this aura, your wand will never be lost. Do you accept the task?]

[Accept!]

Even though Darren felt that this title was not as appealing as those of the Phoenix Pet Beast Egg, it was still a reward. Besides, it involved speaking and taking action.

Darren took a deep breath. The lively face he had just seen instantly turned into a determined one.

He took three or two steps in front of the ordinary man, encouraged himself, and said in a frightened but upright condemning tone:

"This gentleman, how can you bully ordinary people? What's wrong with Muggles? They are also people. I refuse to believe that you don't have Muggle ancestors!

Whatever dissatisfaction you have, vent it at me. I just want to tell you that even ordinary people are not beings you can bully at will!"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the title "Wand Guardian" and not losing the wand.]

As the mechanical sound of the system fell silent, not far from the ordinary man, a little girl with disheveled hair looked at Darren with gradually gentler eyes.

Oh my God, was there such a kind little wizard in the wizarding world?
