Change the world from Hogwarts

Apparition.

This is Connor's chosen method of movement.

Although the entire Hogwarts has been placed under an 'Anti-Apparition Curse', causing wizards to only walk in this ancient castle, there is one exception: house elves.

The magic system owned by this group seems similar to that of wizards, but the actual operating principles are fundamentally different.

In today's era, countercurses set by wizards are aimed at wizards, and house elves themselves can ignore them.

Even though there are many restrictions within Hogwarts, they can still use their own magic smoothly and can travel to various places through apparation.

But facing such a group of people, the wizards felt quite at ease and did not even have any doubts about their loyalty.

For no other reason than because the house elves' 'shackles' are in their minds.

Today, no one knows what house elves once looked like. Today's wizards only understand that this is a group that exists as slaves.

They have extremely short lifespans, are powerful, and are loyal to their masters. They are a precious legacy left by ancient wizards.

They must never take action against wizards. No matter how weak the wizard is, they are their masters. Even if they are not the masters they serve and are loyal to, their status is far higher than them.

Even, they have to habitually maintain a humble attitude and ask questions in a flattering tone:

"Does Mr. McMahon need anything else? For example, fire juice? Milk? Or some delicious cookies, honey cake?"

The house elf's voice was mellow and full of flattery.

For a moment, Connor couldn't even tell whether this was the kind of servility-based flattery that existed on the surface, or Wheatcake's true heartfelt care and kindness.

And since he couldn't figure it out, Connor had no intention of continuing to inquire.

He waved his hand directly.

"No, Maicake, please step aside. I will come find you if anything happens."

"Okay, okay."

After giving a funny bow, the wheat cake disappeared from the spot.

Connor looked around this room that he had never lived in before, opened the drawer, and took out the textbook from the restricted book area:

"Human Metamorphosis"

This ancient book, vaguely protected by magic, was tightly closed, seeming to reveal a sense of rejection.

Connor subconsciously twisted the cover to open it, but felt an inexplicable resistance.

"Um?"

With a raised eyebrow, Connor didn't feel anxious, he just said calmly:

"I'm going to give you back today."

In an instant, the originally closed book opened, and a series of questions emerged from it:

【?????】

Big question marks cover the pages of the book, as if interpreting the conscious questions that exist in the book.

[A month has passed, and you haven’t read much of what I recorded, so you plan to just let it go?]

"certainly."

Facing the shock displayed by the book, Connor nodded without any hesitation.

"After all, it's useless for me to hold you. I know all the knowledge you recorded above. Whether it's guiding my own wild nature or calling on the will of the spiritual beings that exist, I can do these."

【……】

This time there were no questions, just silence.

After a long time, a sigh appeared on the page.

[The book does not record how to summon the will of nature... You are even more outrageous than Albus and Aberforth at the time]

"There's no use staying here anyway."

Connor didn't take its emotion to heart, Connor just shrugged.

"It's better to put you back in your place and hand it over to others in need."

【Then why did you take me out in the first place?】

"...Well, for a piece of evidence?"

Connor said.

"I always have to find a reason and an excuse."

【You want to transfer all your talents and knowledge to me? 】

"Of course, isn't it possible?"

[Okay, okay, anyway, I was given a gag order when I was created]

When the four founders tried to adapt Merlin's magic notebook, tried to give him consciousness, and set up tests and contracts, they could not have considered the number of contractors.

In that era when wizards were not yet fully united, a book that knew many secrets could easily cause various problems, so of course there would be necessary measures to deal with them.

For example, it is forbidden for the book itself to communicate too much about other contractors with readers.

This is the content burned into the foundation of this book, and there is no mandatory statement. It is born that way.

"I hope you can find a better master than me."

[Maybe, I am quite happy during this period. I don’t need to answer questions, I am just chatting here.]

Perhaps because he realized that he was going back to the bookshelf, Connor obviously felt that the book "Human Metamorphosis" had a lot more words.

The words on the page appeared one after another, and Connor just chatted with them.

The two left the small secret room and returned to the library.

It is afternoon now, and there are some other students in the library. Some Xiaoying who love learning and are eager for knowledge are studying in groups, and there are also a very few students from other colleges who are alone:

For example, Hermione Granger is still reading alone in the library without any friends.

Another example is Theodore Nott of Slytherin. As a first-year student, he seems to have not yet recovered from the aftermath of the conflict at the beginning of the school year.

There is no "little brother", and there is no one to read with. His eyes are gloomy, staring at the book.

Of course, apart from being in groups or independently, there are also pairs in the library:

For example, Cedric.

Connor discovered his presence immediately. He was sitting with an oriental girl from Ravenclaw.

"Hey Connor, are classes in the lounge over?"

"Well, it's over."

Facing Cedric's smile, Connor responded with a smile.

"I came to the library this time to return a book and borrow another one by the way. What about you?"

"I...I study here."

"Ah, study,"

He glanced at Cedric and then at the Ravenclaw girl.

She smiled and held out her hand.

"Autumn Zhang."

He looks elegant and generous. Although he is embarrassed and shy, he is not restrained at all.

"Well, then I won't disturb you anymore."

Connor walked directly to Mrs. Pince.

"Madam, I'm here to return this book."

"It took a month... to finish reading?"

Mrs. Pings asked, she frowned unconsciously, looking obviously uncomfortable.

"Yes, I have read them all."

Connor said with a smile.

"Also, let me borrow another book, "The Body Structure of the Fire Dragon."

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Pince's eyes instantly became horrified.

She already remembered what books Connor borrowed before, combined with the book she borrowed now.

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, just learn a little bit of extracurricular knowledge."

Connor's smile looked harmless, and seemed to exude a strong desire for knowledge, but when it fell into Mrs. Pince's eyes, it was filled with an unspeakable strangeness.

"This is the approval note given by Professor Dumbledore. I hope you can approve it."

This batch of strips means the principal’s recognition and approval.
