Connor's Hogwarts

Because Connor promised to accompany Alice, he was going to the Slytherin table tonight to eat and drink. Although Connor knew a lot of Slytherins, this was the first time he went here directly. The dining experience is a bit novel.

When Connor walked with Alice, the Slytherins he met greeted Connor in a friendly manner. They were elegant and not overstepping the rules, making Connor feel like he had arrived at some aristocratic cocktail party.

Alice pulled Connor and sat down among a group of girls. Connor smiled and said to her: "It seems that they welcome me. I thought that according to your Slytherin tradition of xenophobia, I would be kicked out." Woolen cloth"

Alice rolled her eyes: "That's just because the person here is you. If a Hufflepuff came here, he would definitely be thrown out. And I think you don't understand our so-called traditions of Slytherin at all. Obviously your whole family is Slytherin."

"I really don't understand," Connor shrugged: "I don't have the time to waste studying these red tapes, you know me."

"Yes, yes, our young master Connor will be praised no matter what he does. Who dares to say you are wrong..." Alice smiled and helped Connor adjust his collar, speaking with a sense of pride.

"I feel that even if I was sorted into Slytherin, I still can't get along with most of you..." Connor looked around and whispered: "They seem to be very friendly to me, but I can actually feel it. Alienation…”

"They have very complicated feelings about you... But no matter what, I still think that our Slytherins are much better than those noisy and mumbling brats over there!"

The "imps" Alice was referring to were naturally the lively Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. Speaking of which, the Slytherin table was indeed much quieter. Although in Connor's eyes they were all a bunch of imps, it was obvious that Slytherins prefer to act mature.

"Pfft, crybaby Alice can actually call others brats~" (Sister)

"That's right, I'm obviously the one who never grows up~" (Sister)

Sitting opposite Connor and Alice were the Greengrass sisters, Daphne and Astoria. They were two sweet-looking girls. The sisters, who were only one year apart, looked almost like twins. They had platinum hair. Her long, colored hair was tied into a side ponytail in the opposite direction.

At this time, they were looking at Alice sideways, covering their mouths with one hand and whispering.

"Shut up, you two!" Alice blushed angrily.

"Oh? Was Alice still a crybaby when she was little?" Connor asked with a curious smile.

"Connor-!?"

"Isn't that right? Not only before, but now she is also crying. Alice cries profusely every time. If we don't comfort her, we don't know if she will die of dehydration." (Sister)

"That's right. She is obviously older than us, but we have taken care of Alice since she was a child. Now she's fine. She can't even grow taller. Alice, I will soon be taller than you, really. Poor—wuwu—I was wrong” (sister)

"No one will think you are dumb if you two don't speak!" Alice took out her wand with a dark face and controlled the magic hand to pinch the little girl's face.

Connor snapped his fingers, and Alice's magic hand disappeared. Then Connor held down Alice's hand and said with a smile: "Keep talking, keep talking, I will make the decision for you, Alice can't bully you. .”

"You, you! I don't care!" Alice was furious, blushing and sulking.

"Yeah! Connor, you are such a good person!" (Sister)

"Great, finally someone can control Alice, Astoria, our good days are finally coming." (Sister)

Connor became interested in what the two sisters said. It seemed that he didn't know much about Alice's life. Now that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, it would be interesting to learn more about his girlfriend's past... It's necessary.

"I heard that you and Alice have known each other since childhood?"

"Yes, our Greengrass family has always been a contracted family of the Windsor family. Each generation of Greengrass must be dominated by the heirs of the Windsor family." (Sister)

"So we have lived with Alice since we were children. We are Alice's housekeepers and personal maids. Not only do we work hard without complaint, but we also get beaten and scolded." (Sister)

Alice glared at Astoria fiercely: "When have I ever beaten or scolded you?"

But no one paid attention to her. Connor pressed Alice's hand to prevent her from moving, and asked himself: "Contract family? This old-fashioned bad habit still exists today. What kind of contract did you make?"

As a result, as soon as Connor asked this question, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly stagnated. Alice and the Greengrass sisters both looked a little unnatural, and Connor realized that something was not right about the situation.

Alice sighed and said: "Connor, it's okay to tell you. But it's not good to let others know this kind of thing."

Connor raised his eyebrows and waved his wand to create a soundproof barrier: "Now others can't hear our conversation."

Alice lowered her eyebrows while arranging the tableware, as if she didn't dare to look up at the two sisters opposite, "Actually... the contract signed between our Windsor family and the Greengrass family is a blood curse."

"Blood curse?" Connor was really shocked now. He didn't expect to hear such a secret here. Speaking of Alice, are you really okay with telling me such a thing so easily?

Alice noticed Connor's doubts and explained: "This matter is actually not a secret among the major families. After all, the 'close' relationship between our two families has been maintained for hundreds of years, and we can't hide it from anyone at all. of"

"." Connor was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

The so-called blood curse, also known as the "blood curse" by wizards, is a kind of magic rooted in the blood of wizards.

Connor knew that there was a kind of blood-cursed orc that would irreversibly turn into an animal as he grew older. No one had a way to get rid of this curse in his blood, nor did he know about the Greengrass family's blood curse.

Alice lowered her head and pretended to be calm and said: "This blood curse was signed by the ancestors of our two families many years ago. The Greengrass family members must regularly take the blood of our Windsor family members as adults in order to continue their lives. This blood curse has lasted for hundreds of years, and we have no choice."

"A blood curse used between master and servant."

Connor didn't expect Alice and the others to have such a relationship, but it wasn't surprising that wizards in the past would do such things. It was unexpected, but it was reasonable.

"That's it. We are destined to serve the Windsor family from birth, so the biggest wish of us Greengrass family members is to meet a good head of the family. After all, this will determine the fate of our lives." (Sister) )

"Yes, yes, when I met Alice as a child, I already despaired of the rest of my life. After all, Alice is unruly, willful, bad-tempered, and petty. Oh, please, help, help, I'm going to be silenced." (Sister)

Although Alice's hands were held down by Connor, she still made a gesture as if she was about to pounce: "Astoria! I've hurt you in vain before! If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth off." rotten!"

With a scared look on her face, Astoria hid behind her sister and covered her mouth and said secretly: "Sister, look, she is anxious, she is anxious."

"Yes, yes, we are very unfortunate to have such a troublesome owner as Alice," her sister Daphne also covered her mouth and said "secretly".

"Connor! Look at them! It's obvious that they have been bullying me since I was a child!" Alice tried to find Connor for comment: "I'm not as bad as they say!"

"." Connor wanted to say something about your character. They were really right, but Alice was still his girlfriend no matter what. He decided to give her some face, so he patted Alice's hand to comfort her. Said: "Don't be excited, don't be excited, the past is in the past, Alice will definitely become a gentle person in the future."

"?" Alice was about to retort when the lights in the auditorium suddenly dimmed. Dumbledore over there came to the stage, and the Halloween party officially began.
