Connor's Hogwarts

"Blanche, go up a little bit."

"A little further down"

"Stop getting out of bed. Come on, try this."

"."

Seeing the little red book floating and moving slowly under Blanche's control, Connor forgot his words for a moment.

Although Connor had learned the ability to control objects through space at a young age, wasn't the little girl in front of him a squib? How could you... suddenly... do it so easily?

Are you so awesome and you haven't noticed it before? ? ?

"Blanche, can you always feel the magic in your body?" Connor thought that his little cousin was hiding his strength.

"What does magic mean?" Blanche tilted her head, and it could be seen from her innocent eyes that she was not lying.

Blanche said in a factual tone: "I just imagined the book flying as you said...and then it flew."

Having said this, Blanche turned to look at Connor's bookshelf next to her, staring~

But nothing happened.

"I just imagined that I could control the books on your bookshelf to fly, but it seems to have failed." Blanche said calmly.

Connor was thoughtful. He took the little red book, walked a few meters away from Blanche, and signaled: "Would you like to try again?"

Blanche stared at the book. The pages shook a few times, but in the end they did not fly up.

Connor understood and took a step closer. This time, the book was indeed controlled to fly up, drifting precariously towards Blanche, and was caught by her.

It doesn't feel like a wizard, it feels like a girl with super powers.

Connor believes that this should be caused by Blanche's magic power being inert and the lack of magic power reserves in her body.

Connor looked at Blanche and said: "Blanqi, you should have a strong talent for controlling magic power, but your magic power reserves are insufficient. Maybe it is because of this that you have not discovered the existence of magic power before..."

"But this is good news, it means you are still very likely to learn magic."

"So what you said before were just lies to me?" Blanche told the truth directly.

"Uh, uh, of course not! Hahaha, I can tell at a glance that you have extraordinary talents!" Connor tried to change the subject and muddle through:

"So if you want to learn magic, then what you have to do is improve your magic manipulation ability."

Blanche didn't pay attention. She blinked her big eyes and said, "Well, I want to learn this, Connor."

"Okay, okay, I will help you. I will write to my grandfather and ask him to find you a tutor."

Blanche stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the hem of Connor's clothes, her big beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak: "I want you to teach me."

"Uh." Connor hesitated for a moment and was too embarrassed to refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay, I can teach you. I still have some experience in this."

What Connor is best at is controlling magic power. He has been trying to control magic power since he was just able to crawl. He still has a lot of say in this aspect.

"Wait for me." Connor nodded and walked out of the bedroom. After a while, he came back with a basin, used magic to move a stool over, and placed the basin on it.

Connor scratched his head and then pulled off a strand of hair.

He put his hair in the basin and it floated on the water. Connor pointed to the hair in the water and said to Blanche:

"Blanqi, try to imagine controlling this hair to change according to your wishes. This will not only help you feel the magic, but also exercise your control over the magic."

"I did the same thing back then. It's a very useful method. After you can control the deformation of one hair at will, try to control two hairs at the same time."

At this point, Connor started scratching his head again, but after scratching for a long time, no hair fell out. He smiled awkwardly and didn't care. He said:

"Try it first. Controlling a hair at will is not something you can do in a short while."

As a result, Connor discovered that Blanche was not listening to him at all. She was already staring at the hair on the basin.

Connor shrugged, sat back at his desk, and began to draw his new drawing card. Time was tight, and he also had to catch up on the drawing.

after an hour

Connor felt someone poking his back. He turned around and saw his little cousin Blanche standing behind him, looking at him with big eyes and stretching out her little hand to him.

"?" Connor looked at her doubtfully and slowly typed a question mark.

"Hair, Connor," Blanche said in a steady tone.

"???" Connor turned to look at the basin, and saw that the hair in the basin was controlled to form the shape of "B \u0026 C" in cursive fonts.

This...successed so quickly? ! It took me a long time to soak in the bath before I learned this time-killing skill!

And...you ask me why I want hair! ?

Connor stared blankly at Blanche's long, silky golden hair, then at her expressionless face, and then at her outstretched little hand. After a moment of silence, he began to scratch his head.

"Now, Blanche, you have several choices before you."

A week later, it was still Connor's bedroom. Connor looked at his little cousin in front of him with a serious face.

Connor has had a somewhat magical life this week. Now he believes that there are really geniuses in the world (in Connor's eyes, he is just a lucky person with a little talent), and his little cousin Blanche is undoubtedly such a person. genius.

Blanche's performance this week has made Connor a bit autistic. Blanche's learning ability is quite amazing. She can basically learn all the tricks that Connor taught Blanche in just two glances. After a week, she I took out Connor's forty-eight unique skills...

Nowadays, her magic control level is better than that of many young wizards.

Connor could imagine that if this child was not a squib, but a witch, he would definitely be a very powerful wizard when he grew up.

If it weren't for the fact that this child's magic power is inert, and her magic power reserve is not as good as that of six-year-old Connor, even if she is a squib, Connor believes that she can do better than ordinary wizards...

It's a pity that there is no if...

Connor put away his thoughts. He raised his index finger, and a flame appeared on it. Then as Connor's magic power was injected into it, the small flame grew bigger and bigger. Then... it disappeared suddenly.

"This is the simplest fire element magic among elemental magic. Its magic patterns are quite simple. I believe it is not difficult for you to learn it, including the other three elemental magic patterns."

Blanche's eyes lit up.

"However, although elemental magic is simple, it consumes a lot of magic power. With your magic power characteristics and reserves, even if you specialize in this way, the achievements you can achieve in the future are limited."

Blanche's eyes dimmed.

"Elemental magic is ancient magic, and it is different from the modern magic we use." Connor took out his wand and said: "Scourgify [Clean and refresh]"

A breeze swept through and took away the dust in the room, emmmm, although the effect was not obvious.

"Ahem, the characteristic of modern magic is that it consumes very little magic power. Even with your magic power reserves, you can cast it at will. However, their magic patterns are quite complicated, and wizards can only cast them easily with the help of blood. And it’s not easy for you to do that.”

"But it's possible for me to do it, right?" Blanche's tone remained calm.

"Indeed." Connor couldn't bear to tell her the truth. Squibs who can learn modern magic basically don't exist...otherwise they wouldn't be called squibs...

Connor shook his head and said, "But you have another choice."

Connor took out a bright silver ball and handed it to Blanche.

"This is a magic pattern ball with a magic pattern on it." Connor paused and said, "This magic pattern is the painting magic pattern of our Lake family."

"Painting. Magic pattern?" Blanche stroked the magic pattern ball, but her eyes were fixed on Connor's face.

"Well, look at these drawing cards I drew. They are all born from the painting magic." Connor pointed to the drawing cards on his desk and said in a slight voice: "Although the painting magic is not offensive, it is not as effective as those. Like the magic spell, it can produce various effects, but I think the magic of painting is the most amazing magic in the world!"

"What the magic of painting can do is completely different from the magic that makes people hurt each other. It can record beauty, imagine beauty, and create beauty..."

Connor's eyes flashed: "Magic does not exist to make some people competitive. One day I will use painting magic to change the world!"

After Connor came back to his senses, he coughed a few times in embarrassment. He seemed to be a little too excited just now. Inexplicably, he always felt that he had been a lot more impulsive recently...Has he reached his age?

"Ahem, of course, I don't know if you will be interested in this magic, but with the help of the magic ball, you will be on the same starting line as ordinary wizards when learning this magic... and your The magic power reserve is enough to complete a painting, and painting magic is the most suitable modern magic for you to learn at present."

Connor peeked at Blanche's face, but she was expressionless and couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"In short, all kinds of magic have advantages and disadvantages. Elemental magic is easy to learn, but your magic power reserves do not support your mastery of it. Modern magic is extremely difficult for you to learn, and you may not make any progress in a while. "Painting magic is very suitable for you to learn, but it depends on whether you are interested in painting."

Connor explained the advantages and disadvantages of several types of magic to Blanche in detail, and finally concluded:

"Of course, in the end it still depends on your choice. No matter what you want to learn, I will teach you."

Blanche stared at Connor for a while and said, "You seem to want me to learn painting magic?"

"." Connor broke into cold sweat. Did he show it so obviously? ? ?

Indeed, after learning that Blanche was a little genius, Connor's mind became active. Now Connor is basically drawing all kinds of drawing cards by Connor, and recently Connor has been drawing more and more cards. , it is foreseeable that we will draw more and more in the future!

This will be a serious waste of Connor's time to study (wan) and study (shua)!

Connor doesn’t want to sit at home and draw every day from now on! He is the big boss behind the scenes! He’s not a cartoonist locked up in a dark room by his readers!

So Connor has been trying to find someone to share the pressure for him recently.

There is no hope for my grandfather. Not only is he busy, he even paints in a wrong style (grandfather’s paintings are very period-feeling). Although Flora and Aunt Elena can also draw magic, their painting skills are really not that good. , there is also a lot of work to be busy with, so it is not considered

Connor wanted to ask his classmates for help, but...putting aside whether they could learn it or not, Connor couldn't trick anyone into learning painting magic.

Connor finally knew that he was actually tricked into learning painting magic by his grandfather.

Facts have proved that most wizards have no interest at all in these... magics that are useless to learn and difficult to learn.

Connor wanted to teach the twins, but was disgusted to death.

Ivan is willing to learn, but his painting skills are...hard to describe, and are of no use at the moment.

The Lake family's painting magic has no successor.

Now, Connor finally met a little cabbage, and of course he couldn't help but want to trick him into giving him a favor (cross out).

If Blanche learns the magic of painting, with her talent, it will not be difficult to learn to paint. Then Connor can get an assistant for free and escape the fate of becoming a hard-working painting dog!

Connor's eyes rolled around and he said: "Now, look, you are also a member of our Lake family. Of course I hope you can learn the magic of our family! If you learn the magic of painting, I believe grandpa will also be very happy! Hahaha”

"I don't want to make him happy," Blanche said abruptly.

"Ah?!" Connor was stunned, and then heard Blanche say:

"But..." Blanche stared at Connor's face and asked, "I have learned this, will you teach me to draw?"

"Of course! I am the best painter in our family, and my grandfather is not as good as me. Of course I will be responsible for teaching you to paint." Connor nodded, pretending not to hear what he said before.

"Well, this magic looks quite interesting."

Connor smiled with satisfaction, picking up an assistant for nothing haha.

"So... Connor, can I learn them all?"

"Huh?" Connor was stunned.

"I think I can give it a try, just in case I can learn it."

"Of course, of course, but we have to do it step by step. We can start with painting magic."

"Shouldn't we start with the simplest elemental magic?"

"Well, it seems... right."

"Well, I'll leave it to you, teach me the simplest elemental magic first, and then learn the painting magic after I learn it." Blanche blinked her innocent big eyes, looked at the dumbfounded Connor, and asked: " is it not OK?"

Connor looked at the pile of unfinished works on the table and felt that he had shot himself in the foot... Why am I talking to this girl so much? Wouldn't it be better to just teach her the magic of painting? Can she still resist if she has no choice?

Well now, there's one more thing to do.

Connor showed an awkward yet polite smile and said, "Of course, no problem..."

Today my manuscript was eaten by the writer's assistant on my mobile phone (_), which made me have to re-code it, so I updated it so late, dbq, although it is only one update, it is only 4,000 words.
