Hogwarts: I Got the Holy Father System
Chapter 1 — The Holy Father System Appears
London.
In an orphanage.
Darren sat alone in a corner of the garden, staring blankly at the gray sky.
He had crossed over.
Somehow.
And not even into his own country.
Fortunately, he'd inherited the memories of this body's original owner.
That saved him from being exposed for not speaking the language properly.
Still, he was confused.
Wasn't crossing into another world supposed to be a voluntary thing?
Darren sighed.
When he looked up, he saw Kenley walking over with a few other kids.
Great. Headache incoming.
Kenley was the self-proclaimed king of this orphanage. Every kid had to listen to him, or they'd get beaten up.
The original Darren had died because of him—pushed down the stairs for breaking one of Kenley's "rules."
His skull had hit the ground, and that was it. Game over.
That was when the new Darren woke up—Darren from the twenty-first century.
Over the past few days, Kenley hadn't made much trouble, but he still tried to make Darren submit to him.
Naturally, Darren wasn't the type to back down.
Using his adult mind, he'd set up a few tricks to trip Kenley up—literally.
The kid had eaten dirt more than once lately.
Darren had hoped that would make him back off.
But apparently, Kenley didn't have enough brains to realize he was being messed with.
He still came looking for Darren every day.
If it weren't for the fact that Darren had just arrived and didn't want to cause chaos yet, Kenley would've already "enjoyed" the same fate as the original owner.
"Darren!"
Kenley's loud voice broke his thoughts. "I heard from Yali that you were hiding here!
You didn't give me your snacks today. Do you still want me to push you down again?"
Kenley was a year older—twelve this year—broad-shouldered and heavyset, looking like he'd been raised on pig feed.
Darren almost laughed. Did this idiot really think he was going to hand over snacks like the original Darren had? Not a chance.
He'd eaten every crumb himself this time.
Just as he was about to reply, a mechanical voice echoed in his head.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Holy Father System.]
[Ding! As long as the Host performs acts perceived as "Fatherly," you will earn Holy Father Points, which can be spent in the System Shop.]
[Ding! Starter Pack detected. Would the Host like to open it?]
"Holy Father System?"
Darren blinked. "Seriously? That's a thing?"
He fell silent for a second, then frowned.
No way. He didn't want to be some goody-two-shoes saint. Even if there were rewards, he wasn't about to ruin his personality.
[Host's thoughts detected. System will now explain.]
[The Holy Father System rewards behavior perceived as selfless or saintly. As long as others believe your actions are pure, your true intentions don't matter.]
[Even if the Host were to… commit crimes in secret, it would not violate the system's rules—as long as no one finds out.]
Darren was speechless.
[If the Host insists on rejecting the System, the System will initiate self-destruction.]
"Uh—wait!" Darren coughed awkwardly. "You'd better stay."
Forget about principles. He was way too curious now.
[Binding complete. Would the Host like to open the Starter Pack?]
"Open it!" Darren said immediately, rubbing his hands together.
Everyone knew Starter Packs were where the good stuff came from. Let's see what he got.
[Congratulations! You have obtained—]
• Holy Father's Aura: Enhances appearance, temperament, and personal charm.
• 'Treat Death as a Homecoming': Immunity to pain; can control perceived damage levels.
• Heart of the Shadow Emperor: Allows perfect control over expressions, emotions, and physical state.
• Mana +100
"Wait, what's with that last one? Mana?" Darren muttered.
Did that mean there was magic in this world?
Before he could even think further, the rewards surged into his body.
He stared at a flower in the garden, focused on the thought of chocolate—and the flower morphed into a small chocolate bar, landing softly on the ground.
"…No way."
That was definitely magic.
Which could only mean—
"This is the Harry Potter world?" Darren whispered.
His imagination was running wild, but it made sense. Magic, mana… it all fit.
[Ding! The Host has a chance to perform a Holy Father act.]
[Temporary Task: Give the chocolate to Kenley and say, "Here, take it. Don't bully others, okay?"]
[Reward: God-Level Occlumency (can create false memories when being observed). Accept mission?]
Darren's eyes lit up. "Occlumency?! Definitely accepting!"
That was a top-tier skill in the wizarding world—especially for someone like him, a transmigrator.
He looked up. Kenley hadn't noticed a thing and was still smirking, thinking Darren was scared of him.
Darren rolled his eyes—but quickly wiped the look away.
He raised his head and smiled sweetly, holding out the chocolate in his hand.
It was the same chocolate he'd just transformed, unwrapped but somehow still warm and fragrant.
Gathering fake courage, Darren said softly, "Here, take this chocolate.
Just… don't bully other people anymore, okay? If you want, I'll give you more next time."
(Next time I'll just turn a rock into one and see if you notice, he thought darkly.)
With the Heart of the Shadow Emperor active, Darren's face looked pure and kind, even angelic.
Not far away, a black-robed man who had just arrived stopped in his tracks.
Snape's fists clenched, and for a moment, his expression flickered with emotion.
[Ding! Mission complete. Reward: God-Level Occlumency obtained.]
