Connor's Hogwarts

As the only magic school in the British wizarding world, Hogwarts is the focus of wizards' attention no matter whether there is any trouble or not, not to mention such a big thing happened.

The next morning, it rained owls in the auditorium, and there were so many letters from parents that they covered the auditorium floor.

Naturally, Connor also received letters from his grandfather and Flora. The letter briefly asked about Connor's situation, and then contained some family instructions, such as studying hard and being happy every day.

They still don't know that what happened last night was caused by Connor.

After reading it, Connor folded the letter and put it away, then wrote a reply and stuffed it into the owl that was being held by the twins.

After watching the aggrieved owl fly away, Connor picked up today's Daily Prophet.

Yes, what happened last night has been published in the newspapers. It is estimated that most of the parents of the students wrote to inquire after reading the reports.

The title on the first page of the report was "A giant gladiatorial arena suddenly appeared in Hogwarts at midnight." Connor took a quick look at it and simply introduced what happened last night. In fact, they knew nothing at all.

"Follow-up reports will follow up after interviewing Principal Albus Dumbledore..." That's what it said. This is indeed a fake "Prophet" daily.

The only bright spot is an animated GIF, which shows the arena hidden under the smoke. From this angle, you can tell it was taken from the direction of Gryffindor Tower.

Apparently, there is a mole in the newspaper office in Gryffindor, or is there a student who wants to make extra money?

These have nothing to do with Connor for the time being. Connor believes that Dumbledore will handle it all. What Connor has to consider now is how to arrange his future study plan.

Suddenly gaining knowledge from a library, Connor needed to re-plan what to learn and how to learn it.

For example, do you want to practice swordsmanship or something...

Even though Connor cut off Voldemort's head very handsomely at that time, it seemed that Connor knew how to use a sword.

In fact, that's because when Connor picked up the sword, the enemy could no longer move and could only stand there and chop it with Connor.

That's why Gryffindor said that this test is not difficult. If Connor pulls out the sword immediately, there will be no need to fight later...

"Let me tell you, that sword is really handsome. When I hold it, I feel like an invincible general!"

"Cool! Hurry to the base later, I can't wait to touch the sword!"

Connor glanced at the gang of four beside him who were listening to Roger's bragging with excitement. It was a bit hard to understand. It was just a sword. He didn't know what they were excited about.

Connor had already colluded with the twins on the lines. The script was that they accidentally found Gryffindor's treasure last night. Otherwise, if Lee and Roger didn't ask, they wouldn't say anything.

Obviously, people tend to care more about the results of things and are not interested in the process. Li and Roger only wanted to play with swords and did not ask about the process that was led by Connor Chunqiu's writing style.

Sure enough, the little kid is so confused...

"By the way, Connor, you said the secret passage you found is in the safe house? Why didn't we find it before?" Roger suddenly asked.

"That's right? Why didn't we notice it before?" Li Ye came to his senses and asked.

"..." Connor felt that he should stop planting flags in the future, and as expected, Gryffindors are more innocent, cute and lovable.

"Actually, the secret passage can't be found now. The secret passage is at the lion stone sculpture where we went down... After we found the treasure, the secret passage disappeared." Connor tried to muddle through.

"Oh, that's it." x2

Before they could notice the difference between "can't find it now" and "can't find it before", Connor quickly changed the subject: "Roger, you guys go to the base first."

"Um?"

"I have to go find Professor Nott."

"Eh? Oh, we get it." The four of them are used to Connor asking for Professor Nott every week. However, they don't know that Connor has completed Professor Nott's commission and hasn't visited Professor Nott for a long time. Professor.

"What are you stretching out your hands for?" Connor asked in confusion as he looked at the hands stretched out to him by several people at the same time.

"Sword? We want a sword." Several people said in unison.

"No, that sword is too sharp. I don't trust you. Let's wait until I get back." Connor refused directly. It is not an exaggeration to say that Gryffindor's sword can cut iron like clay. For these few A young man full of passion is not safe at all.

"Eh~ Why is this like this?" x4

…

Connor came to Professor Nott's office with ease.

Connor didn't know why Professor Nott was looking for him. After the magic painting was completed, Connor was dissatisfied with how his first work was treated.

The relationship with Professor Nott also became very tense. After that, Professor Nott never took the initiative to find me again. Even the double-sided mirror magic pattern that he gave me was couriered by an owl.

But at this time, Professor Nott suddenly invited him personally. Connor really couldn't think of the reason...

With such doubts, Connor knocked on the office door.

"Connor? Come in." Professor Nott's voice came from inside.

Connor did not hesitate and opened the door directly. Then he saw Professor Nott standing by the window with his back to him, and the oil painting "Spring at Hogwarts Castle" leaning on his desk. .

In the oil painting, a head suddenly pops out from the edge of the picture frame. It is the protagonist of this painting, Miss Mandy Miller.

Miss Mandy waved her hand and greeted Connor with a bright smile: "Hello! Connor."

It seemed like Professor Nott had mentioned him to her?

"Hello, Miss Mandy." Connor also waved.

"There you are, Connor." Professor Nott turned around and said with a smile.

Connor always felt that Professor Nott looked even more haggard than last night.

"I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to come over." Professor Nott motioned for Connor to sit down, and he also sat on the chair on the other side of Connor.

"It's nothing troublesome, Professor, your place is the place I visit most often in school." Connor shrugged and sat down, the automatic teapot on his side had already consciously flown up.

"Yeah, haha..." Professor Nott smiled, but looked a little absent-minded. He said, "Connor, your performance last night was very good, very good... I am proud of you..."

"This is all due to your guidance, Professor." Connor replied obediently. He did learn a lot of fighting skills from Professor Nott. Without the accumulation of these learning experiences, Connor might have fallen from the beginning.

"No, no, Connor, that's your battle, it has nothing to do with me... Connor, you are really outstanding... really... very outstanding..." Professor Nott shook his head and said, looking a little erratic. , Connor felt that his state was a bit strange.

"Connor..."

"Professor, I'm listening."

Professor Nott seemed to have finally come to his senses, and this time he met Connor's gaze: "I asked you to come here, actually, because I wanted to confess something to you."

At this point, he became dejected and depressed: "Some things will turn into nightmares if you hide them in your heart for a long time. I'm very, very tired, Connor, I'm really tired..."

Connor frowned and looked at Professor Nott in confusion. In Connor's impression, Professor Nott had always been an elegant and powerful wizard with a Slytherin-like aristocratic temperament. Such words did not sound like anything. Professor Nott said it.

Professor Nott turned his head and looked at Miss Mandy. Miss Mandy smiled back at him, as if she was comforting or encouraging.

"Connor, I'm a liar, a coward, a...sinner."

Connor looked at Professor Nott, and Professor Nott looked at Connor.

His eyes were... full of guilt and pain.

Professor Nott avoided Connor's gaze and looked at Miss Mandy aside:

"I deceived you and asked you to draw her for me, just to satisfy my own selfish desires... I thought I had a chance to truly own her this time... But I was wrong. It turned out that she had never loved her from the beginning. I……"

"Professor Nott, this...!" Connor's eyes widened.

"Connor, she was Mandy Miller, but then she had another last name..." Professor Nott closed his eyes, and he slowly spoke tremblingly:

"…Her name is Mandy Lake."

"She's your grandmother."

I took the train home today and was exhausted. I fell asleep again when I got home and couldn’t finish typing. orz
