Change the world from Hogwarts

Chapter 70: Don't say things that don't match your identity

Isobel McDougal.

At the moment she appeared, Ernie and Justin couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

Connor even noticed that his roommate's expression turned teasing.

"Hey, what did I hear you say before? Ordinary classmate relationship? How can you make others wait for you at the corner without saying a word?"

"..."

Faced with Ernie's teasing, Connor rolled his eyes.

After all, he was thick-skinned, and this kind of well-timed teasing would not render him speechless.

"You don't allow others to come to me if they have any problems?"

"What can happen?"

Ernie disagreed with this.

His brain, which is naturally used for gossip, always comes up with some strange words, and it seems that he can find the most shocking and reactionary version of any topic.

"It's you, I think you have been hiding something. There must be a secret between you and McDougal."

Ernie's original intention was definitely out of gossip, but Connor still felt his heart twitch when he heard this.

There is indeed a secret between him and Isobel, but that secret is obviously different from what most people think.

"Okay, stop guessing over there whether these are available or not."

"Yeah, yeah, we won't guess."

Ernie seemed sincere, but the cunning in his eyes could not escape Connor's insight.

"So you..."

"Okay, okay, we won't disturb you anymore."

Before Connor could say anything, Ernie put his arms around Justin and Wayne's necks.

"Let's go, let's go, go back and try on some Halloween clothes, see if my boar hood matches the clothes."

Connor's roommate left in a hurry, but stopped again when they walked downstairs.

Connor could not only see their mysterious cover-ups, but the sense of presence they exuded was also extremely strong.

Seeing this scene, Connor couldn't help but stroke the kitten on his shoulder.

At this moment, only Phil's soft fur and body could soothe his extremely embarrassed heart.

What is this, what are you guys doing?

He really wanted to ask this out loud, but unfortunately when the words came out of his mouth, he felt as if he no longer had the energy to do so.

It's really annoying and funny.

"They are all very interesting people, aren't they?"

Isobel also spoke.

When Connor turned his attention back to her, he saw her walking over openly, with a smile on her face.

"At least it's much better than my classmates. It makes me want to join Hufflepuff... Maybe Hermione and I should both go to Hufflepuff, so that we can both live a better life.

This opening stirred up trouble, and Connor couldn't bear it.

The corner of his mouth twitched:

"I don't know much about Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, so I won't comment on this kind of thing... Anyway, do you have anything else to do with me now?"

"...Find a quieter place."

She spoke.

Unknowingly, the originally cheerful tone gradually dropped.

When Connor finally looked at her face, he found that she didn't even have a basic smile on her face.

"I do have something to ask you."

Is there any place in Hogwarts where I can have a quiet conversation?

The answer is yes.

In fact, whether it is rafting on the Black Lake, or some of the gardens in Hogwarts or even the library, they are all very good choices.

If that doesn't work, there are some towers in Hogwarts that are often left unused, and they can be used there too.

However, Isobel and Connor were not engaging in any secret activities. Maybe the content of the conversation did need to be kept secret, but the conversation itself was nothing special.

The location they chose was in the library.

Now that both Connor and she are students who have received approval to stay in the library, this place is indeed quite suitable.

"...Do you still remember that book?"

When walking to the library door, Isobel asked.

"The book you borrowed."

"You mean "Human Metamorphosis"? Have you finished reading that book?"

Connor asked this question casually, but Isobel's expression became ugly.

Looking at her face, Connor became embarrassed.

"Uh...you haven't finished reading?"

Instead of relaxing the atmosphere, this problem has become worse.

Isobel frowned,

"I just opened the title of that book and signed a contract with it... At present, it has only opened the basic chapters to me."

"……oh."

Connor could feel that Isobel was obviously a little unhappy in her heart now.

"Actually, one month is quite fast for most people. After all, the book itself is an advanced tutorial on the use of transfiguration, and some of the necessary conditions for Animagus are even classified as optional chapters.

First, most wizards...even senior students may not be able to answer the questions above."

Connor himself wanted to make amends, at least not making the atmosphere so awkward.

"You are actually very powerful."

But he seemed to have failed. Not only did Isobel not look grateful, her eyes became even more dangerous.

Connor only felt as if he was being stared at by some wild beast, and while the beast revealed the intention of eating people, there was also a strong question in its eyes.

A big question mark is just there.

Then, Isobel spoke:

"I remember you returned this book within a month."

"Yep."

In fact, on the same day, Isobel, who knew about this incident, borrowed the book.

"Then have you finished reading it?"

An ordinary question has now turned into a proposition.

Sensing a sense of crisis, Connor felt as if he was standing in front of a fork in the road.

Here comes the problem

Which one is more lethal, "I already knew what was written in that book" or "I read the whole book in a month"?

I haven't thought of a specific answer, let alone decided between the two.

But it doesn't matter, just follow her train of thought and speak.
