Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 130

Who knew that Darren would push him off the bridge?

As he fell, he discovered that the rope had snapped. Then he heard Darren talking to Death.

"Come at me! Why attack an old man?"

These words suddenly touched him.

So many years have passed, his children, his grandchildren... his family has disappeared into history.

No one has ever made him feel this way again. He's an old man, yet he's being protected by a child.

This feels like.

Before he could figure it out, Darren jumped off the bridge.

As Darren helped him up, Nicolas Flamel seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Why did you save me? You clearly..."

Even if Darren didn't know that it was Death, he should still be afraid.

"I feel a sense of warmth towards you, you remind me of my grandfather..."

This polite reply suddenly stunned Nicolas Flamel. He suddenly realized that what he had lost over the years was family affection.

With the passing of his family, he had nothing left to hold him back except Perenel.

That's why he went to Fang when Darren said he didn't like immortality.

Besides his resentment, he might also have hoped that Darren would persuade him to give up his life and return to the embrace of death.

Embark on that great adventure.

But he didn't expect that after meeting Darren, he not only didn't give up his desire for immortality, but even had the idea of ​​having another family member.

Perhaps he should have another heir?

Chapter 132 Subjected to a Soul-Stealing Curse?!

Nicolas Flamel's idea shocked Perenel. She gasped and covered her mouth in surprise.

"My God, how could you think that? You know I'm over six hundred years old!"

"...I'm not asking you to have a child, I'm planning to adopt an heir."

You said what if we adopted the second child of the Potter family, that is, Harry Potter's twin brother Darren Potter.

"Will I be able to enjoy the fun of raising kids again?"

"I can't believe it," Nicolas Flamel asked excitedly.

He knew that Perenel loved children; he had wanted to adopt and raise all the children in his family.

But those children always have impure thoughts; they understand many things at such a young age.

Even as little kids, they were already scheming to get them to hand over the magic stone.

Nicolas Flamel wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone, so naturally he couldn't hand it over.

But since they were his own descendants, he was willing to pass on the craft of making the Philosopher's Stone to them.

But none of them could learn it, and they even suspected that what he gave them was fake. This experience made Nicolas Flamel very angry.

So he closed his estate and stopped these people from coming to him.

He remained secluded for several decades. When his anger subsided and he reappeared in the wizarding world, he suddenly discovered that his family was gone.

The Lemaître family simply vanished.

In just a few decades, the Lemaître family squandered their wealth, wandered from place to place, and the last member of the family died at the hands of a traitor due to a bad friendship.

Nicolas Flamel avenged them.

But the days that followed became increasingly dull.

He was only three or four hundred years old at the time, and he had already begun to quietly regret it. Why did he live so long?

He gradually lost his passion.

Perenel was all that remained in his life.

Perenel was in despair, and for a time she even considered stopping using the Philosopher's Stone.

Perenel chose to wait for himself to tire out until he said he wanted to live.

After the Philosopher's Stone lost its effect, he considered researching other things to extend his lifespan, which wouldn't be too difficult for him.

However, when he saw Perenel's relieved and happy expression, he finally gave up.

Later, Dumbledore came and borrowed his Philosopher's Stone, and then destroyed it.

He wasn't interested at all until he heard Dumbledore say that Darren said he didn't like immortality, which sparked his competitive spirit.

Who knew that this trip would give him another idea? He wanted an heir.

"Darren Porter? Is that the kid who said he didn't like immortality?"

Perenel asked curiously.

She had heard Nicolas Flamel talk about the child, and she especially remembered the angry look on his face when he mentioned him.

That expression could be a source of a joke for her for a year.

I just didn't expect that Nicole would suddenly make Darren their successor.

"You haven't forgotten that we were going to die together, have you? I can't take this anymore!"

Perenel said warily.

She no longer wanted to live forever. There was nothing in this world that mattered to her, so what was the point of living?

All these years she has only been there to accompany Nicolas Flamel. If he were to create something that grants immortality again, she would go down to earth sooner!

"No, no, no, I was just thinking that since we'll be dying naturally for several years after we stop using the Philosopher's Stone, why don't we train an heir?"

Look, other people have bad intentions. If they stay with us for too long, they'll become greedy and repulsive.

But Darren is different. He is simple-minded, has good character, and has no parents. He doesn't even have a right to inherit the Potter family business.

Let Dumbledore decide to adopt him into our family, adding Flamel's surname in the middle.

He doesn't need to change his surname to Potter, and even the portraits of the Potter family can't say anything about it.

Then we passed on all the knowledge we had acquired in our lives to him. I heard that the child was a genius, and he might be very suitable to learn alchemy.

Even if he's not a good fit, he can still memorize all our books and will eventually find a perfect successor.

And in these final years, we can also enjoy the pleasures of taking care of the children, don't you think?

"I can't believe it," Nicolas Flamel said excitedly.

He also told Perenel what had happened in Darren's mental world. This startled Perenel, who then criticized his recklessness.

But it did indeed stir up some hope in Perenel's heart. It wasn't entirely impossible.

She hadn't seen a young child in over a hundred years.

Because those children always became greedy, which made her very uncomfortable, she avoided raising children herself.

But this child, as Nicole said, is very kind and innocent, so perhaps she can really make her last few years happier.

Then she became anxious. She nudged Nicolas Flamel.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly write to Dumbledore and ask him to inquire about the Potter family portrait and whether the child himself is willing or not!"

Nicolas Flamel nodded quickly.

He took out a piece of stationery and wrote a long string of words on it with great effort.

Then, with a flick of the wand, the letter appeared directly on the desk in the Hogwarts Headmaster's office.

"That's not enough. We also need to find Darren. First, we want you to have more contact with him and see if you're a good match."

Although I think it's impossible for it to be unsuitable, the moment you see that child, you feel incredibly happy, and all the dark thoughts accumulated over the past few centuries disappear.

Secondly, we need to gain the child's approval. Perhaps we should read more books and study what kind of situations can make a child like their elders!

"I can't believe it," Nicolas Flamel said excitedly.

Although Perenel felt he was exaggerating, a strong sense of anticipation welled up inside him.

Perhaps, she will be able to spend her last few years very happily…

Hogwarts. The Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore stared in astonishment at Nicolas Flamel's letter. His old friend wanted to adopt Darren?

He remembered that Nico had once said he hated children. But what was Nico saying now?

He actually praised children as the most innocent creatures in the world.

Ha, he remembered that not long ago, Nicole had said that children were the most annoying thing, and that he and his wife hadn't let any children into their house for centuries.

Has my old friend been cursed with a soul-stealing spell?
