Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 58 It's Christmas Suddenly
When Connor woke up and found himself lying naked on the bed, Connor shook his head and rubbed his temples, memories of last night flooded back...

At the beginning of last night, everything went smoothly. Connor also thought that the birthday party would always be so smooth. Everyone communicated friendly, the wine was full, the guests enjoyed themselves, and the party came to a successful conclusion...

However, it does not.

Connor's imaginary party only lasts until brothers Fred and George arrive...

It is almost impossible for the twins not to cause trouble, and Connor is also mentally prepared. Anyway, the two are not ignorant, and Connor is not very worried about the two.

However, Connor's miscalculation of Fred and George's brain hole...

As Connor's close friends, the twins are undoubtedly the people who are most familiar with Connor (Connor has always been the image of a good baby in Flora's heart), in order to make trouble at Connor's birthday party and successfully make trouble, the two Come up with a "good" idea...

What is Connor's weakness?The twins, perpetually outnumbered in their "battle" with Connor, never stopped looking for an answer to that question.

Indeed, Connor is handsome, talented, good at studying, and knows everything about magic. On the surface, he is a gentleman, but secretly he is cunning. It is not easy to find his weaknesses.

But after three months of secret observation, the twins found out: Connor never refuses a girl's request!
Although this is not a weakness, but it is still very operable to use this to make trouble, so...

"Connor will not refuse a girl's invitation today."

This sentence, fueled by the twins, was known to the girls at the party in various ways...

"Go ask Connor to dance, I bet a Nat, you will succeed!"

"Hey! You know what? Connor wants to dance with you, but he's so shy, we decided to help him, what? You want too? Go for it! You'll make it!"

"Want to dance with Connor, afraid of being rejected? Don't worry, leave it to us, we are his good brothers, with us to help you, you will succeed!"

"..."

Then………

Whenever Connor finished a dance, the next contestant was a perfect relay under the arrangement of the twins...

At first, Connor didn't notice anything, but after dancing four or five consecutive dances, Connor felt something was wrong.

Why are these girls queuing up one by one to invite me to dance?Is brother's charm already so great?

After careful observation, Connor realized that the twins were secretly giving him a dance partner!
?

At that time, Connor wondered, when did the two of you become so interesting?Could it be that my twin brother's recruitment plan has been successful?The younger brother who knows how to give the boss a girl is very promising!

But it turns out that Connor overthinks it. Sometimes, having many girls invite you to dance is not necessarily a good thing.

After dancing for an hour, Connor understood, you twins are really little geniuses!

This time I fell, I beg you to take away your supernatural powers, if I jump down again, my leg will be broken!

Connor signaled his surrender to the twins with his eyes, while Fred and George raised their thumbs one by one, showing their shining front teeth, and continued to look for the next relay runner.

Because there were so many guests, few people even noticed that Connor hadn't left the dance floor from the beginning to the end.

Connor wanted to slip away, but he couldn't bear to refuse the invitations of all the shy young girls.

After all, others have traveled thousands of miles (in fact, they just drilled the fireplace once), and brought precious gifts (in fact, mostly chocolates and greeting cards), and came to their own birthday party (in fact, it was more to join in the fun?)

How could Connor, who aspired to become a gentleman archmage, refuse a lady's small request to dance.

Connor then dances from the beginning of the prom to the end, tired, and happy (and not).

While eating the cake later, Connor shook his legs, smiled and pressed a large piece of cake on Fred's face, and then Fred smashed the cake on the face of George who laughed, and a group of people There was a cake fight.

If it wasn't for Connor's better physique, he might not even be able to climb up to the second floor.

After seeing off the guests at last, Connor took a shower, was so tired that he didn't change his clothes, and fell asleep when he touched the bed with a bath towel on.

Well, that's why Connor woke up naked.

What?That's it?

That's all, do you still want to have any strange and indescribable plots?Connor is only 11 years old!
Connor gets dressed and starts the usual Christmas wake-up task: unwrapping presents.

Connor sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the pile of gifts next to him, feeling a little headache.

This is too much, and Connor feels dizzy when he thinks of returning the gift in the future.

It would be great if I had a secretary... Connor somehow had this idea.

These are birthday presents and Christmas presents sent by owls last night. I ordered hundreds of them, most of which were given to girls who had asked me to paint.

Connor mainly paid attention to the gifts of some acquaintances...

Roger sent a book... Well, it's Lockhart's "Holidays with Hags", emmm it's pretty good, and saved the money for a future textbook...

Penello sent a few British-style coats, which look very handsome...

Professor Nott sent a piece of... Hey, isn't this a double-sided mirror...

Wait, double mirror?Knott's two-way mirror?Why do you feel a little familiar?
correct!Connor remembered that when he was shopping for mirrors in Diagon Alley, the owner of the grocery store was talking about the double-sided mirrors of Knott's house!
Could this thing be produced by Professor Nott's family? emmm, I always feel that it is close to ten, I will go back to school and ask...

Haha, this is the Kewpie drawn by Yiwen, eating lotus root like this, hahaha, but it is barely considered a successful magic painting. It seems that Yiwen is also working hard at home, not bad.

Then there's a bunch of miscellaneous gifts, chocolates, greeting card snacks, oh, and Mrs Weasley's sweater, sky blue, not bad, although I prefer pink, and... eh?What's this?
Connor sees a small gift box...

This gift... was actually given by Dumbledore? !Dumbledore actually gave himself a gift!

Connor was a little flattered. He really didn't expect Old Deng to give him a gift. It seems that he didn't prepare a Christmas gift for him and said... he won't be kept in a small book.

Connor unpacked the box and found that it was a small boxy metal "Rubik's Cube". Connor had seen this thing before, and bought it in Diagon Alley. It was a magic prop for phonograms.

There was still a note in the pink packaging box, written in gaudy handwriting, circled around, Connor almost didn't recognize it:
"The Sorting Hat wants me to give this to you. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas. - Albus Dumbledore"

Uh, Connor scratched his head and looked at the small recording box in his hand. This is also a very interesting magic prop.

The sound it records can be kept for a long time, but the disadvantage is that it can only record a piece of voice at the same time. Well, this is a repeater.

Connor injected magic power into the reciprocating machine, and the strange singing of the Sorting Hat came out, which was exactly the part it sang at the beginning of school:
"Gryffindor favors the indomitable, timid and cowardly is not Gryffindor; Slytherin is in the Chamber of Secrets..." (see Chapter 24)

Eh?
Something was wrong, Connor frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

When a clue appears three times in a novel, then it must have something! (Strike out this sentence)

Why did Dumbledore suddenly send such a thing to himself?

If I remember correctly, the Sorting Hat said that this passage was a clue to the Hogwarts treasure?
But Dumbledore seemed to scoff at this at the time, and Connor didn't take it seriously afterwards, thinking that he would join in the fun after the Chamber of Secrets opened.

But why did Dumbledore suddenly send such a passage now?Are you implying that Hogwarts does have such a treasure?But that's not what you said that night.

The little box repeated the song of the Sorting Hat's weird tune, Connor withdrew his magic power, and the repeater stopped.

Although he didn't know why Dumbledore's behavior was inconsistent, Connor didn't think that Dumbledore was the kind of person who gave gifts to others casually, and this repeater must have a deep meaning.

Maybe... Hogwarts does have such a treasure?Dumbledore is encouraging me to find this treasure?But why didn't you hint at me in the principal's office?Do you have to wait until my birthday to give such a present?
emmm, I can't figure it out, forget it, let's just think that I triggered a hidden mission, and wait until I go back to school to find any relevant clues.

The treasures of Hogwarts, it seems very interesting...

"Connor Connor! Get up and play cards!...Wow! Why do you have so many gifts!"

Ivan broke in very rudely, and was startled when he saw the pile of presents piled up in front of Connor.

Then thinking of his poor gifts, Ivan felt a little sour.

"I'm envious, your brother and I are very popular at school, it would be nice if you can receive half of the presents here after you go to school..."

Seeing Yiwen running in, Connor put down the repeater in his hand, rubbed Yiwen's head with a smile, and said cheerfully:

"Also, thank you for your gift, the painting is very good, keep up the good work!"

"Ok!"

My brother praised me!

The sour mood suddenly disappeared, my brother is so powerful!A bright smile appeared on Evan's face.
