Connor's Hogwarts

1990.12.21. The Christmas vacation has begun.

Connor has never looked forward to the Christmas break so much, because it means he can get away from school and no longer have to play hide-and-seek with Alice.

In the past two months, even though Connor used all his skills, he was still caught by Alice several times. He had no choice but to draw several cosplays for her, and he still painted several pictures at a time... Connor's body It’s a bit too much, in every sense of the word

Connor began to realize that his body had grown.

This is really a happy and frustrating thing.

Today, Connor regrets it. He regrets very much if he didn't go around looking for people to draw every day, if he didn't drag Alice into the founding group of the Brotherhood, if he didn't draw [Alice Knight] so awkwardly.

Hey~ Fortunately, I have a vacation, I finally have a vacation.

Connor ran away from the school excitedly. As soon as he arrived at the cabin in the woods, he gave Ivan a warm hug after not seeing him for a long time. After not seeing each other for a few months, even this bratty brother became cute in Connor's eyes.

"Connor. Why are you so suddenly..." Ivan said, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Finally, you stayed at home when I came home. I'm very happy." Connor pinched Ivan's face and smiled.

Ivan blushed angrily: "No way! Well, I just didn't remember the time you came back before."

"Okay, okay, you go and play first. I also have something to do. I'll come back and say hello to you. I'll grab something and leave." Connor ruffled Ivan's hair vigorously, and then walked upstairs.

"Connor, where are you going?" Ivan straightened his hair and chased after him and asked.

"I'm going to London to see Uncle Charles later, and then I'm going to Lake Manor. Our Lake Experience Store branch in Hogsmeade Village is about to open, and a new copy of the Monster Cards is going to be released. I It may be quite busy in the past few days.”

Connor returned to his room, threw Mira aside, and then rummaged through the box to find something. Ivan leaned against the door and muttered:

"Grandpa and mother can handle these things. Your help is needed wherever possible."

"I still need to take a look at some things." Connor walked out of the room and raised his hand to mess up Ivan's hair: "I'll play with you when I come back tonight."

"Who wants you to accompany me?" Ivan murmured softly as he pushed Connor's hand away.

Connor laughed, went downstairs and walked into the fireplace. Ivan slowly walked downstairs, looked at the empty living room, was silent for a while, ran out, and rode his bicycle away——

"Well, the story this time is very good, I believe all the little wizards will like it."

London, Lake Company, Connor holds the Monster Card script in his hand and keeps nodding.

"It's just an expansion of the outline you gave us. Besides, you gave us the settings and original paintings." Charles lay on his boss's chair and chuckled, shaking his head, not taking any credit.

"It's the details of the story that are hard to imagine. This is a big help..." Connor put away the script and stood up: "Then I'll leave first and hurry up to arrange publicity."

"So fast? Well, anyway, you will only disturb my work here." Charles waved his hand as if seeing off guests.

"Uncle Charles has become a very busy man." Connor chuckled. The squib uncle in front of him had indeed changed a lot. In just a few months, he no longer had the shadow of the former poor writer.

"Hey, I can't help it. Life has forced me into the shape I hate the most. Obviously I was just an aspiring young man who wanted to write for my dream." Charles looked sad.

"Hey, that's okay. I'll find someone to manage the company. Uncle Charles, you can pursue your dreams as much as you like."

"Don't, don't, don't!" Charles shook his head repeatedly: "I can realize my dream in this position. Most of your story and script are my credit! Mainly in this position, I can also manage a bunch of authors, forcing Watching them deliver the manuscript, this feeling is really addictive, I really like my life now."

"Tsk"

"By the way, Connor, Blanche is also on vacation. As soon as she came back, she said she wanted to play with you. After Christmas, she will probably stay at your house for a while."

"Oh, that's no problem. I'm leaving first. Ask your driver to take me to the Leaky Cauldron. I'm going to Diagon Alley. Oh, by the way, Uncle Charles, remember to come to my birthday party in a few days. !”

"Of course, of course I remember, bye!"

——

Diagon Alley was also very lively today. Connor walked into Diagon Alley from the Leaky Cauldron and went straight to Lake Experience Store. Then at the door he met the store manager Ansel Norman, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Norman, come with me." Connor stopped Norman who wanted to run over to say hello and walked towards the elevator entrance.

"Yes, Master."

Arriving at the office on the fourth floor, Connor took out the script and handed it to Norman: "This is the new plot of the monster card, take it."

"Okay, I will arrange the publicity work. It will probably be done in the next few days," Norman said conscientiously while flipping through the script.

"Well, the promotional poster will be sent to you tomorrow, but this time the promotion is a little different. You should be able to understand it if you read the script carefully." Connor pointed to the script in Norman's hand.

"Does this require staged publicity?" Norman quickly saw the crux of the problem.

"That's right, this time we will not release all copies of [Pocket Monsters Thousand-Year Pharaoh Chapter] at once, but will divide them into seven stages," Connor explained his plan.

"So, for this Pokemon New Year event, we will only launch the [Millennium Building Blocks] card set, and every month in the future we will launch a Millennium Artifact card set until all the cards are released. Next year's work on Lake Chess Cards The focus is on this copy, the publicity work is very important, you must pay attention to it."

"I understand, it seems that this is the version of the rise of weapon cards and function cards." Norman muttered to himself professionally at first, then suddenly reacted and covered his mouth with a fist in embarrassment: "Ahem, this , I’ve been hearing about it in the store for so long, I’ve almost become a professional player of Yokai cards, I’m really sorry.”

Connor smiled and waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. On the contrary, I'm glad that you like monster cards. Norman, do you think this kind of card game will become popular in the Muggle world?"

"Emmmm, it's hard to say. Monster cards without magical effects will lose their luster a lot. But if I modify them a little, I think there will be a lot of market in the world over there." Norman gave a pertinent reply.

"Emm, maybe, but it won't happen in a while. Our little monsters are still not well-known in the Muggle world. Let's wait until the anime version is released and then look for opportunities to promote this card game."

Connor shook his head and said: "By the way, Norman, you still need to clear a space on the first floor to display the [Star Dream] brooms. I will have the brooms delivered in two days. The exhibition will be officially launched one week later..."

Under the control of the Lake family, Star Dream has become famous in the wizarding world. I believe there will be a wave of rush buying in the New Year.

"Understood, I'll send someone to take care of it soon."

"Emm, there's nothing else. I have to go to Lake Manor. You can go and do your work."
