Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 243 Connor's Little Secretary
Out of the library, Connor ran ahead, turning his head from time to time with lingering fear, for fear that a certain little beaver would catch up from behind and ask this and that.

Connor thought that since he couldn't stay in the library, let's go to the Room of Requirement, he hurried upstairs.

He didn't even notice that he didn't let go of the little girl's hand.

"Kang Connor's hand. Hand." Penello was pulled, and reminded in a low voice shyly and happily.

"Oh! Sorry!" Connor quickly let go of his hand and apologized.

"No...it's okay." Penello replied a little dizzily, touching his wrist with light red marks.

Connor coughed a few times, and changed the subject a little bluntly: "By the way, Penello, what are you looking for me for?"

"." Feelings, you were talking nonsense just now. Penello put away the disappointment in his eyes, and forced a smile: "It's about the monster card matchup. The total number of people is 111, including 21 Slytherins and 39 Gryffindors."

"... 23 people in the sixth grade and 12 people in the seventh grade." Penello handed over a folder, and the top paper was filled with names by category: "This is the list of all registered players."

"Ah, ah. This, I'm sorry to trouble you." Connor took it, browsed it roughly, and finally couldn't help but said: "Penelo, since you don't need to report to me about the organization of activities, since I leave it to you If you are in charge, then you have decision-making power.”

As a school-level student association, the Brotherhood is a school-level student association, and all activities are voluntarily signed up by members. Connor only proposes activities, whether it is the club's recruitment, the school's weekly newspaper, or this card battle activity, all of which are self-recommended by members.

"But." Penelope lowered her head. She took over the task of planning the event as soon as her brain became hot. She originally wanted to exercise her ability, but when she really did it, Penelope still Feeling a bit lacking in confidence: "But I'm worried that I won't do well in case I screw up."

"Don't worry about this. This is a small event organized by my own people. Even if it is messed up, it's no big deal."

"How can this be!" Penello's reaction was even more intense than Connor's, and she frowned a little dissatisfied: "Since I have accepted this task, of course I have to take it seriously and try my best to do it It's best, how can it be so casual."

"Uh, I'm sorry, actually, what I mean is that you don't need to be too stressed, just treat it normally."

"Ah!" Penello blushed and waved his hands again and again: "Yes... I'm sorry, I'm obviously the one who troubled Connor, but my attitude is still so bad, I'm really sorry!"

"Uh...no...it's okay, I still admire your serious attitude...haha..." Connor smiled awkwardly and politely, why was he suddenly apologized?
Penello looked at Connor's expression, she stopped, and her shoulders slumped in frustration: "Yes... sorry, Connor, am I stupid?"

"Eh?" Connor also stopped, they were standing by the window of the tower stairs now, Penello stopped on a few steps lower, with her head down, the wind blowing from the window lifted her long hair , looks... a little pitifully beautiful.

"How come? Penello, why do you have such a strange idea?"

Penello raised his head to look at Connor, his eyes were still clean and pure, Penello looked away, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly:

"Actually, since I joined the fraternity, I realized that I am just a wizard with ordinary talent. I am a Muggle-born and have no special skills. I often have to rack my brains for a long time to think about problems that others can figure out at once. Even if I try my best, I can't catch up with you, and... I can join the brotherhood only because of the help of my friends... I try my best to prove myself, but now I can't even organize the simplest activities..."

"Hey hey hey! Penello, you are the first in the grade, how could you be stupid? Don't think about it..." Connor was a little at a loss for a while, he was not familiar with comforting girls, and this...how did it suddenly become Like this?

"Sorry, I'm talking to you all of a sudden..." Penelope smiled reluctantly. She brushed the hair by her ear, looked out the window, and said, "The girl just now is Hermione Gryffindor from Gryffindor." Ranger?"

"Huh? You know her too."

Penello smiled again: "I heard it mentioned by the first-year school girls, and they were all wondering why she wasn't Ravenclaw."

"Ahem, I'm actually curious too." Connor wiped off the non-existent cold sweat. He was secretly glad that Hermione was not assigned to Ravenclaw.

"She is very hardworking and smart, and she is of Muggle origin like me...but she is much better than when I was in the first grade." Penello's tone was a little melancholy.

Connor scratched his head: "So you were stimulated by that child?"

"No! How is it possible!" Penello suddenly smiled brightly, but Connor could clearly see that her smile was far-fetched. This time it was Penello's turn to change the subject abruptly:

"Don't talk about this, Connor, just pretend that I couldn't help saying something stupid, ah! By the way, Connor, this registration list was directly published in the weekly newspaper after we arranged their respective opponents. Announce it?"

"Yes, otherwise."

"But how do we arrange games for them? If there are more than 100 people, there will be more than 50 games. If we arrange time for them one by one."

"Stop, wait, why do we have to arrange time for them?" Connor suddenly interrupted: "Penello, you have to understand that our purpose is only to select the final winner and determine the goal. In fact, the process does not important."

"Let them compare themselves in the first round. No matter how many times they play or how they compare, they just need to fill in the names of the winners of the duel in the newspaper before next week."

"Ah? But in this way, what if they both refuse to admit defeat and fill in their names?"

"Isn't there two weeks for the first round of competition selection? Next week, if there are wizards who don't agree with the [competition result], then we will arrange a competition for them, which can greatly reduce the workload. And because it is an independent competition The reason is that they can still promote our game when they are playing card battles everywhere, killing two birds with one stone."

"So it is, so it is"

"." Looking at Penello who took out a small notebook to take notes, Connor said helplessly: "Actually, you can think of this method by yourself, and maybe you can think of a better way. I do what I say."

"But I think Connor is very powerful. He can always think of all kinds of magical ideas to solve problems. If I were to think about it, I would definitely not be able to think of them." Penello looked at Connor again, his eyes seemed to flicker shine.

Connor avoided this gaze subconsciously, and said, "It's just some very common thoughts, not worth mentioning."

Penello finished taking notes, and asked again: "Then how do we arrange for them to compete? Now, except for everyone in the club, no one knows who organized this competition. Well, maybe they can guess it." It's you, Connor, but the identity of our fraternity members cannot be revealed, right? Then who will host the game then?"

"." Why have you become a hundred thousand why?Is this thing contagious?Connor complained secretly, turned around and replied as he walked: "Actually, I have an arrangement for this, and there will be some special [friends] who will help us host the game."

"Oh, well. By the way, about this week's weekly report"

From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Penello was seriously taking notes on the notebook in his hand while walking, and Connor was inexplicably touched. He said, "Penello, how about... you will be my secretary in the future?"

"Ah, ah? Eh?" Penello reacted for a while before raising his head, his eyes full of doubt and shock.

Connor was a little embarrassed by her look, he coughed dryly: "Well... don't you want to exercise your abilities? Come and help me with some things, not only in school, but also outside school... because I have more and more things, and I can't manage it...Actually, I originally planned...It's nothing, I will pay your wages...Of course, if you don't want to..."

"No, no, no! I am willing!" Penelope's eyes were brighter than ever, she kept nodding, and repeated: "I am willing!"

Connor scratched his head, feeling that he was a little emotional, but...the problem shouldn't be too big...well, after all...he is a decent person.

"Okay, let's talk about salary now..."
