Connor's Hogwarts

When Connor woke up in a daze the next day, he touched his body first and luckily he was still wearing pajamas.

Christmas Eve passed peacefully...

Connor always feels that his birthdays have always been difficult since he went to school. Sure enough, parties are not suitable for me. Labor and management hate parties the most.

Connor got out of bed, approached the mound of presents, and opened them as part of his early Christmas routine.

The gifts that Connor gives to others are basically products produced by his own family, such as cards, Facebook, brooms, etc.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Connor gave the twins a set of potions books each. Although Connor knew that they wanted to give them new cards, as their good brother, Connor still hoped that they could study hard.

Connor also gave Dumbledore a bunch of purple socks. The old man didn't need anything. Connor couldn't think of anything to give him. Seeing that he looked like Santa Claus, he gave him a bunch of socks. I believe he would be very happy. of.

Connor also teasingly gave Snape a painting on which a lily was drawn with the "eye brush". Anyway, Snape, the dull guy, probably didn't dare to ask why he gave him this. Really If you ask, just say that this is the student's blessing to him, haha, who makes this stingy guy so angry that he refuses to give himself more points in class.

Connor started to open the gifts, because the classmates all knew that Connor was very rich, so the gifts were not expensive. The male classmates gave him a bunch of snacks, and the girls gave him a lot of scarves, scarves, etc. Just leave it all to Ivan.

"Cross??? Professor Sablay would actually give me a gift."

"The professors were kind to me and gave me so many useful books."

"Tsk, what the hell did these two bastards Fred and George send? "Write down the love words you most want to say to Connor"? Hiss ~ so many girls' signatures. Bah, what do I want from this thing? use?"

"Is this a dragon eggshell? Does that guy Daklos really have a dragon at home?"

Connor was talking to himself as he was taking it apart. Thanks to the rich guys in the fraternity, Connor had collected all the materials he wanted to make the "magic paper". Sure enough, being friends with the rich is a comfort.

"Eh? Dumbledore's gift? "The Theory of Elements"? This book looks good."

"What...is this a collar?" When Connor opened Alice's gift, he was stunned by the black sexy collar that appeared in front of him. He looked at the small note attached in front of him with a painful look on his face:

"Darling, this is a love necklace. It is said that as long as the person you love wears it, you can feel where the other person is no matter how far apart they are! I spent a long time rummaging through the night to find this gift from my mother's treasure house. Oh! Let’s keep wearing this collar until we grow old, okay? - I love you the most, Alice.”

"." Lady Windsor also knew how to play when she was young.

Connor threw the horrible gift aside and continued to open the box

Penello gave a few more sets of clothes that were very fashionable now, but Connor thought they were old-fashioned. Emily gave an eagle-shaped brooch, which is pretty and can be worn. Blanche gave a can. maltose? Ha, this is a snack that is not available in the wizarding world. This seems to be good...

Fortunately, not all girls are as unreliable as Alice.

"Connor! Morning...uh(Д)! Sorry to bother you, please take my leave."

Ivan probably wanted to say hello to Connor, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Connor opening a mountain of gifts. When he thought about his few gifts, he suddenly became unhappy.

Connor shrugged. This Christmas morning wasn't so bad?

——

Lake Chess and Cards Experience Store, Hogsmeade branch, officially opened on Christmas Day.

Connor walked with his grandfather from Lake Manor to see the new store opening.

The new experience store was opened opposite the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, which is considered the most central place in the village. This house was bought by the Lake family three months ago. It has been renovated and has finally opened.

Although it was during the Christmas period, the new store opening was quite busy (it seemed like there were a dozen customers).

Of course, Hogsmeade is not as lively as Diagon Alley in London. In fact, Connor opened a shop here mainly to make money from students.

Because Hogwarts students after their third year can go to Hogsmeade Village on weekends with their parents' permission, so there is still a lot of money to be made in opening a store here.

The branch here has only three floors, and only two floors are open to the public. The second floor is the monster card hall, and the first floor is the event hall.

The first floor is large enough to accommodate many people. It has a bar, a board game experience table, and many separate compartments for card duels or class reunions.

Connor's design idea for this experience store is to make it an Internet cafe, providing entertainment seats and food services, making it a good place for entertainment and leisure.

"It seems like the business here is okay?" Old Devin and Connor walked into the new store. He looked around and saw that there were already many people playing cards inside.

"Our event hasn't started yet. When the New Year event comes out in a few days, there will be more people here. Of course, there should be more people going to Diagon Alley." Connor shrugged.

"I think you can win this game, yes, keep this momentum." A rough voice came, attracting the attention of the two people.

Near the door, there was a table of people playing monster cards, and a tall, bald man stood next to him. He was mumbling and secretly supporting a certain player.

"Oh, that's the manager of this store, Bob!" Connor pointed at the big man and shouted.

The bald man turned around and saw his boss. He hurriedly rubbed his hands and walked over: "Master Connor, and Mr. Lake, you are also here. Welcome."

Bob is a Muggle-born wizard, his full name is Bob Luther, and he was born in Hufflepuff. Despite his appearance, he is actually a very thoughtful person. When Connor wanted to recruit a branch manager, the applicants There are so many that Bob can stand out, which shows that he is not simple.

Bob used to be an Auror, but because he was tired of living in the darkness, he came to apply for the job of the Monster Card store manager with his love for Monster Cards. He was outstanding in all abilities and eliminated many competitors. , became a store manager.

Of course, the store manager in Hogsmeade cannot use a squib. This is a wizarding village. It is not easy for a squib to gain a foothold here, so Connor is still very satisfied with being able to hire a wizard who has been an Auror to be the store manager. of.

"How do you feel about the opening of the new store?" Connor asked with a smile. There were not many people there now, so it didn't matter that he, the store manager, came out to watch others play cards. After all, there were still several waiters here.

"Very good! I feel great! I like this life! I have to thank you for giving me this job, my little boss." Bob smiled honestly, and he seemed to be in a good mood indeed.

"Okay then, go and get busy. My grandfather and I will look around. By the way," Connor looked at the new store with a somewhat monotonous wall layout and said, "I think I should bring some paintings to hang up here. "

"This is indeed a good idea." Old Devin also nodded: "I like it here, Connor. It seems that I can come here often in the future."

"As long as you're happy, Grandpa."
