Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 387 Aunt's Story (5000+)

"Ah~ Is this the scene of the Monster Cup? There are so many people!"

After visiting Diagon Alley, Connor brought Camilla to Hogsmeade Village. There are still 5 days before the end of the Goblin Cup. Now the competition has entered a fierce stage, and the auditorium is basically full. , many crooked Chinese came from thousands of miles just to catch a glimpse of the game after hearing the news.
After all, the feeling of watching live is definitely different from watching TV, and now with the Lake International Floo Network, within Europe, if you go out to watch the game in the morning, you can still go back for lunch at noon.

In addition, due to the huge increase in the number of people in Hogsmeade this week, not only the various shops in Hogsmeade have made a lot of money, but even Hogwarts has been affected.

After all, in addition to watching the game, the Hogwarts school next to it can also attract tourists, which is one of the best magic schools in legend
And as long as you apply according to the procedure, a professor will take you in to visit the campus, which is very convenient.

Dumbledore also said that he had received letters from many foreign parents wanting to enroll in Hogwarts, and the number of new students in the school may increase this year
Overall, the Yokai Cup went very successfully.

Connor brought Camilla to box 1A10. The sky above the open-air venue magically refracted the sunlight, and the audience could only see the blue sky and white clouds without being troubled by direct sunlight.

"... After all, it's already the round of 16, and there will be more people in a few days," Connor replied, leaning on the guardrail and looking at the lively auditorium, with his mouth slightly raised.

In fact, card games are of course not as exciting as ball games like Quidditch, and there will be no bursts of cheers, but chess and card games also have a unique charm, which can also capture the hearts of the audience.
"Little Connor, did our family make a lot of money by hosting the Monster Cup? This ticket." Camilla looked around and observed, talking non-stop, "...and those snacks and snacks, I remember our family bought The Chocolate Frog Snack Shop, right?"

"Earn it, I'm sure it's gambling that makes the most money." Connor shrugged. There are far more card games than ball games, and it's the most suitable game for gambling.

"There are so many games every day, and we have set up a gambling house at the entrance. Almost no one who comes to watch the game has not placed a bet. This thing is like stealing money, you see—"

At this time, on the field below, one of the chess pieces was eaten. Connor pointed to a small group of spectators who were excitedly jumping in their seats and said, "If it wasn't because the game was about their pockets, how could they be so excited?" , Watching the game after placing a bet and watching the game by chance are two completely different concepts.”

"That's right, there is nothing more profitable than gambling." Camilla looked seriously at the arena below. There was a huge fire dragon roaring in the arena, which looked no different from a real dragon.
"What a spectacular sight." Camilla sighed, and said in a tone of reminiscence: "I haven't stopped all these years. After leaving home, I went to Egypt through France, from north to south. After passing through Africa, passing through Madagascar, I ran to India and then returned to Rome, and then walked eastward, Maoxiong Country, Far East Country, Cherry Blossom Country, Australia to South America, and finally the United States”

"." As far as I am concerned, I would like to call you the strongest. Connor, who can lie down and is unwilling to sit, casts admiring glances at Camilla.

"I have traveled to so many places and seen so many landscapes. But" Camilla rested her hands on the railing, with starlight flowing in her eyes: "I still think the scenery here is the most special I have ever seen , very very special”

What's so special, Connor shrugged: "Maybe you just haven't seen so many wizards together?"

Camilla rolled her eyes: "I went to see the Quidditch World Cup in the United States two years ago! There were more people at that time, 10,000+ people. I mean special, not the number of people."

Connor tilted his head: "Then what are you referring to? I personally participated in the planning of the game. Why don't I think there is anything special about it? Besides the opening ceremony I carefully prepared, isn't this just an ordinary large-scale competitive game?" ?”

Camilla supported her chin with one hand, put something on the railing, bent over and looked at Connor with a smile, and said, "Hey, little Connor, do you want to hear my story?"

Connor didn't look sideways, and said calmly: "Okay, is it your adventure story, auntie? Actually, I'm also very interested in the magic world in other countries."

Camilla smiled: "Let's talk to you about the adventure story next time. Let me tell you the story of my journey away from home."

"By the way, I heard that Connor, you are now a student of Principal Dumbledore?"

"Huh? We are all the principal's students, but I'm smarter and the professors like me."

Camilla couldn't help but messed up Connor's hair again: "Hahaha, it's amazing for ordinary students to go to the principal's office once in seven years. Your treatment is not what ordinary students can have."

Camilla rolled her eyes at Connor again and said, "Connor, you should be very familiar with Professor Dumbledore, right? I didn't meet the headmaster a few times except when I went to the auditorium for dinner."

"Well, it's okay, the old principal and I still have a lot in common."

"It's amazing to you." Camilla tapped Connor's head, then held her chin, and began to fall into memories:

"I was not the same as you when I was in school. The years when I was in school happened to be the years when the power of the mysterious people was the most inflated. At that time, the environment of the British wizarding world was hard to describe. Originally, our family was a neutral family, strong enough to protect itself, and eat death. There is no conflict between the gangsters. Whether it is the life of the father or the sisters, it has not been affected much.”

"." Flora must have been in a relationship at that time. Thinking about it this way, I always feel that the parents of the recent Hogwarts students are not ordinary.
".However, I enrolled as a Gryffindor student."

Connor looked at Camilla, she had only memories on her face, with a smile on her lips, she seemed to be in a good mood.

"Although it's not a big deal to be admitted to Gryffindor, but you know that our family is all Slytherin, and I, an outlier, have an awkward life in school."

Camilla stuck out her tongue playfully as she spoke, "At that time, there were many fanatical followers of the mysterious person in school. They often wanted to bully me in Slytherin. Of course, they could only think Think about it! I will not be easily bullied"

Connor felt that there must be a lot of concealment in these few words. Campus bullying is something Connor is familiar with.
"Maybe it was because Flora had already graduated when I entered school, and Elena was no longer a prefect. Those people thought I was a bully... Haha, now that I think about the experience of fighting wits with a group of little ghosts at that time, it's quite interesting." Yes." Camilla shrugged, and then the smile slowly disappeared, "It's just that the only thing I can't bear is that they use my mother to attack me"

"Oh! By the way, my mother is also a Gryffindor! That is your grandmother, she is a..." Camilla suddenly clapped her hands, as if the gloom on her face had never appeared before.

"I know that, I know about my grandmother." Connor nodded.

"Ehhh!? You actually know that my dad never told me." Camilla puffed up her mouth and looked at Connor with some dissatisfaction, then turned her head to look at the field and continued: "After all, I As long as I can remember, I have never seen my mother and father say that she died in the line of duty and died accidentally.”

"But I don't believe it. For various reasons, I have never given up the opportunity to know my mother, but what I hear most is that they said that the mysterious person [executed] my mother."

Camilla smiled wryly and said: "This has led me to always regard the mysterious man as an imaginary enemy. My thoughts back then were also very radical. Now I think it's too stupid to be a young self, but I know, although my mother may not be killed by the mysterious man. Yes, but Mom's death must have something to do with You-Know-Who, she's an Auror after all."

Camilla leaned against the railing again: ". At that time, I worked hard. My favorite class was Defense Against the Dark Arts—although I changed professors every semester, I learned more things like this. , I was thinking that if I graduate in the future, I must devote myself to the struggle against the mysterious man."

"." You are Camilla Paul Korchagin Lake?

"In the end, when I was about to graduate in a year, the mysterious man ran away." Camilla raised her head sadly: "It was quite sudden...you know, the kind of goal you have been striving for, suddenly, With a pong, it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s an uncomfortable feeling.”

Camilla scratched her hair, took out a cigarette-like thing from her pocket (probably a cigarette) and lit it, holding the cigarette between her slender fingers and propping it on the railing, it was indeed a bit of "unrestrained love of freedom" That smell.

"What's the matter with this mysterious man? Can't wait for my mother for two years? I haven't graduated yet, and he died at the other side, or was killed by a brat. I really don't give face." Camilla swallowed the cloud cursing Breathing out the fog, her cigarette didn't smell like tobacco but had a refreshing aroma. Connor couldn't help observing it curiously.

"I made it myself with potions. I saw Muggles smoking pretty cool, so I made some myself. Do you want to try?" Camilla handed Connor a small pack of cigarettes.

"Eh? What's your ingredient? It won't be harmful to your body, right?" Connor took the cigarette and asked carefully.

Wizards rarely smoke. Anyway, he doesn't know anyone who smokes, because wizards can sensitively detect the harmful components of vanilla through magic power, and filter them out directly. Wizards usually "smoke" cigarettes without any taste.

In the same way, there is no market for drugs on the side of wizards, because the magic power will automatically filter out those harmful ingredients. Of course, there are some potions that make wizards feel "cool", such as hallucinogens and Felicia, but once these Potions are very expensive, and secondly, even if you are addicted, you can be cured, so there is no such thing as a drug-addicted teenager in the wizarding world
"No, I made it with a magic plant found in the Brazilian jungle. In addition to its refreshing effect, it can also be used to calm the irritable mood. I brought back a lot of seeds and plan to plant some in the manor."

Connor paused the hand holding the cigarette, raised his head and asked, "Is the magic plant you mentioned easy to feed?"

Camilla spread her hands with a cigarette in her mouth: "I don't know, I haven't planted this yet, you ask this. Wait"

Camilla froze for a moment.

"Wizards... probably wouldn't like this, would they? And it's quite complicated to make."

Connor glanced at Camilla strangely: "Auntie, I think the business at home is enough, so why don't you move mines home?"

Camilla scratched her head: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, where did we just talk?"

"Speaking of your graduation"

"Yes, graduation." Camilla patted her forehead and continued: "After I graduated, I didn't know what to do for a while. At that time, Flora and Dad had a stalemate, and Elena hid in France to give birth. He refused to come back, and my father put on a bad face every day at home, I was really annoyed by him, so I thought about going out and traveling around the world."

"." My grandfather didn't know the reason, did he?Should not know?If he knew, he would definitely cry, right?Connor felt sorry for poor old Devon.
"...Just do what you say, I always follow my word. At that time, I packed my bags and prepared to run away. At home, my father dotes on me the most. At that time, I said that I would come back after going out to play for two years. In the end, he insisted. But I had no choice but to agree, hahaha, how can he care about me when I leave home?" Camilla said triumphantly with a cigarette in her mouth.

"." If it was my daughter, I'm afraid she wouldn't die of anger on the spot. Wait, Connor suddenly knew why Flora was scolded so badly when she came home. Is there a part of your credit for the relationship?
"Hahaha, in fact, at the beginning I planned to play for two years before going back." Noticing Connor's strange eyes, Camilla slapped a haha, trying to pass the test, "It's just that the outside world is so exciting, I can't help but play for a few more years."

"." Let's just beat him to death. Did the old Diwen become too good-tempered by me?Why does this kind of daughter stay?Wasting food?

Camilla took another puff of smoke, making herself look like a "woman with a story", she said: "In short, I left the UK with the mentality of going out to relax and travel around the world. When I came back, my mentality It’s completely different from when we left.”

"Back then, the Mysterious Man... No, it should be Voldemort. He was my nightmare. In my world, he was just a big devil waiting to be killed by a brave man like me. But now, I don't think he is still alive. It scares me."

Camilla took a puff on the cigarette butt, and after the smoke passed, the cigarette butt had disappeared from her hand, "Connor, guess how many great devils like Voldemort I have met along the way?"

"One, two, three" Camilla raised her slap, counted her fingers, and then gave up quickly, "I can't even count! You know, I can hear it every few countries. Such and such legends of the Dark Lord, the vampire Count Dracula in Romania, the evil witch Qiulier in India, the ghost rider in the western United States, and the "Vampire in the Far East"

Camilla Barabara talked a lot like tongue-twisting, and finally stopped when she couldn't make sense.

".There are ghost ships, Alcatraz, cannibal tribes. I have seen and experienced all of these so-called horror legends. Some of these so-called horror legends are really powerful wizards, and some are just Paper tigers, some are ten times and a hundred times more dangerous than Voldemort, and some are just hateful wretches."

Camilla did not know where to take out a wine bottle, took a big sip, and then continued: "After traveling around for a while, I realized that Voldemort is not just a [horror legend] in our UK. Is it? This kind of thing is everywhere in this world! Isn’t it just a crazy old man who likes to kill people? Why did I feel afraid of him in the first place?”

"." Although I think what you said is very reasonable, I understand the reasoning. What are you trying to prove by saying so much?Connor continued to remain silent, watching the little aunt ashamed by the side with cold eyes.

Then Camilla slapped Connor on the shoulder, and shouted excitedly: "So, this world is so big and so exciting, it's normal for me to forget to go home after playing too much!"

"." No, my old man, is that the point?You obviously just watched the scene of the Monster Cup, how did you come up with such a sigh?Looking at his aunt who behaves frivolously, smokes, drinks, and is not sure if she has tattoos, but she is probably a good girl, Connor once again feels that it is not easy for old Diwen...

"But, Connor, I have traveled to so many places, visited so many countries, and saw the same things, although the scenery is different, but the people are the same, although the stories are different , but the outcome is similar.”

"." Yimi wow ka milk, I don't understand, big sister, are you drunk? Is your wine so powerful?Connor tried to break free from this imposing embrace, but in the end it was in vain.
Camila stretched out her arms to embrace Connor carelessly, she pointed to the densely packed audience below, and said, "But, it's different here, Connor, it's different here, if what I saw before was all I can understand If it’s an old-fashioned story, then this place should belong to one of the old-fashioned story stages, but my hometown has suddenly become incomprehensible and impossible to figure out.”

"I see countless possibilities here, and here is an unpredictable future." Camilla narrowed her eyes, and Connor in her arms really felt the great pressure...

"That's great, Connor, that's great. I think it's great that I can hurry back. This place is no longer the depressing place that made people breathless. The air here is extraordinarily pleasant ah"

"Kakamila, let me go!" Connor struggled hard. Camilla glanced at Connor with crooked eyes, then kissed him hard on the face, and said:

"Connor, you are amazing! Why did my sister give birth to such a big baby like you? I really want to snatch you from her."

"Hey Hey hey!"

"Hey, Connor, do you feel it? The wheel of the times is turning forward, and the thought of me being able to give it a hard push behind it makes me so excited that I'm about to climax!"

"I feel re-bah! You can say whatever you want, can you let me go first!"

"Hahaha, Connor, your face is so red, but why do I feel that there is no reluctance in your eyes? Don't you look very happy?"

"I'm not! I'm not! Let go!"

Connor's miraculous aunt, Camilla Lake, has returned to the Lake family. This woman who shouldn't have returned at this time may bring a different storm to England...
