Connor's Hogwarts

After Artoria became invisible, she wandered around the castle aimlessly. The master did not want her to appear in front of others in her true form. As a "heroic spirit", she should obey his orders.

Except in the Room of Requirement, Artoria usually appears as a spirit body and tries not to attract other people's attention. She feels that she has always done a bad job——

"Have you ever seen this person? She is wearing silver armor and a blue dress..."

The floating Arturia's hair trembled violently. She subconsciously hid behind the wall, then realized that she was invisible, and quietly poked her head out from behind the wall...

Ah, it's that girl again. Artoria remembers her, Hermione Granger. She has been looking for her everywhere since she was rescued by her on Halloween. It's been almost a month now, hasn't she given up yet?

"Excuse me, have you ever seen..." At the door of the auditorium, Hermione asked every little wizard passing by, looking persistent.

She held a painting in her hand, which was of Artoria. It was painted by Ivan. Since Hermione couldn't catch Connor, she retreated to find Ivan.

Ivan knew immediately that the person Hermione was talking about was Saber, but he would not expose his brother's secret, so he casually helped Hermione draw a picture. Although his drawing skills were limited, he was better than most people. Well done.

Haha, only the master's fraternity people in this school know about him, and the fraternity people will not expose their companions. This child is wasting his efforts now——

"Ah, I've seen it before, just now..."

"What?!" x2

Arturia's eyes widened suddenly, and the hair on her head kept shaking in excitement. How could this be possible? Who dares to reveal...

Artoria took a closer look, only to find that it was an unknown boy, who seemed to be a second-year Gryffindor student. She heard him continue to say to Hermione: "When I got up just now, I saw the same figure sitting there. On top of Ravenclaw's tower..."

Oops! Having forgotten to be invisible just now, Artoria was stunned, her hair standing straight up in fear.

"What!? Really? Really!?" Hermione over there was stunned for a moment, then jumped up excitedly. She finally had news after asking for so long!

"Yeah, but that figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. I thought I was dazzled..."

"Quickly, can you tell me in detail?!"

After seeing the little girl walk away, Artoria secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was just seen by chance, so she shouldn't have discovered her... right?

Arturia shook her head, turned and left, she wanted to stay away from the girl.

She walked outside the castle. Snow was falling outside the castle. On a whim, Arturia removed her magic boots and stepped on the snow with her bare feet.

Artoria could feel the coolness coming from the snow. She tilted her head. Her body was completely made of magic power. Ordinary temperature had no effect on her. Of course, the temperature that could affect the soul was not in the "ordinary" category. , she only felt cool when stepping on the snow, and she would not get frostbite.

So suddenly a string of barefoot prints appeared on the deserted snow, as if there was an invisible girl running on the snow. If someone discovered it, there was no telling what campus legend would emerge.

After running blindly for a while, Artoria suddenly stopped because a figure was running towards her. Artoria quickly got out of the way, and the child ran past with a huff, not even noticing the mystery on the snow. footprint.

That was Harry Potter. Arturia knew that he was the kid who was deceived by his master into learning swordsmanship. He actually insisted on running in the morning even in the middle of winter. He was really perseverant.

But swordsmanship... emmm, because the knowledge of swordsmanship has been in Artoria's memory since she was born. It is like an instinct to be able to walk and talk. There is no need to practice at all, so she doesn't know how to master it. It takes a lot of effort for my swordsmanship, but seeing how hard this kid works... he will definitely succeed.

After that, Artoria walked around outside the castle again and checked the time. There should be someone in the Room of Requirement now, so she might as well go back and play games.

So she randomly found a picture frame and crawled into it, and the next second she appeared in the Room of Requirement.

The Room of Requirement was already very busy at this time, and Artoria saw several friends who were close to the Master there.

Fred and George were selling something to a group of boys, Roger was dueling with Wood Arcade, and Cedric was walking around a black-haired girl. Oh, that seems to be his girlfriend Zhang Qiu.

I didn’t expect there to be so many people. It seemed that I had to queue up to play the arcade machines. Arturia walked into the conference room and changed into home clothes. She took out a stack of "reserve food" and prepared to sit on the sofa and eat while queuing up. .

Seeing Artoria appear, everyone started to take care of her.

After knowing each other for so long, everyone is familiar with Miss Saber. It is not difficult to get along with her as a student of the same age. Moreover, the heroic Saber is very popular among boys and girls.

"Saber! Come sit here!"

"Saber, do you want to play monster cards together!"

"Saber, George and I have studied some gadgets. Do you want to try them out?"

Invited by the girl to sit aside, Artoria responded to everyone with a smile, then sat quietly eating and participating in the conversation from time to time.

The little wizards in the Brotherhood are all very friendly people. Every time they stay here, they give Artoria a sense of relaxation, which makes her feel that there is nothing wrong with "living".

After that, Artoria spent a day playing in the Room of Requirement, playing arcade games, monster cards, and gossiping about little girls... The peaceful life was very beautiful.

During this period, Arturia also held an initiation ceremony for a second-year Slytherin. As a witness to the brotherhood's initiation, this was considered one of her serious "jobs".

Several other girls came to see Connor (Penello, Emily, etc.). Arturia did not receive the master's instruction to conceal her whereabouts, so she directly told them that Connor was in the library.

By dinner time, Arturia finally got tired of playing games. She was so bored that she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Target..." Walking invisibly in the castle again, Arturia murmured to herself, how can we find such a thing? It's enough to live like this, carefree, without worrying about anything or thinking about anything.

But sometimes I still feel a little empty...

"You must tell me clearly today! What is your relationship with Connor?"

Suddenly, Artoria heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from the corner in front of her. Is this voice Alice? Is she bullying other little girls who like Master? Alice is really careful...

Well, Artoria was stunned, because the person being pulled by Alice's collar and pressed against the wall was not a little girl, but Cedric, ah...

"My eldest lady, I have already explained that there is really no strange relationship between Connor and I! It's all a misunderstanding!! I have a girlfriend!" Cedric raised his hands above his head in surrender. Shi, explained with a grimace.

"Who knows if you are trying to cover up your ulterior motives, but you actually have bad intentions! Connor can't like men! Then you must be lusting after Connor's body! How dare you ride on Connor's body? On my body! Obviously I haven’t even tried it! Not even me...ah! Who is it!"

Alice was grabbing Cedric's collar and banging it wildly, shaking poor Cedric until he was dizzy. Arturia couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked over and grabbed Alice's back collar. She lifted it like a puppy.

Alice, who was lifted up in the air, was stunned. Could this familiar feeling be...

"Artoria!!! Let me go! You rude and violent woman! Let me go!!"

Alice struggled wildly, punching and beating Jiojio, but all her attacks failed. In front of Artoria, Alice was just a scumbag.

"Stop causing trouble to others. Are you a child? How old are you? Can you be more mature? Sorry, Cedric, please leave quickly. I will deal with her." Artoria was like an old mother. He said the same thing to Alice.

"Ah, that's really helpful, Saber, I'll leave first!" Cedric turned around and ran away very decisively after the disaster.

"Hey! Stop! Don't run!"

Cedric ran faster and disappeared in an instant.

Artoria let go, and Alice stumbled and fell to the ground. She put her hands on her hips and glared, yelling angrily: "Weird girl! Why do you want to meddle in my business!"

"You just went too far. As a knight, I can't stand you bullying others like this." Artoria didn't lie. Every time she saw Alice, she couldn't help but want to "correct" her. She thought this was her integrity. The embodiment of knightly virtue.

"I want you to take care of it!!" Alice was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. She moved her foot to step on Artoria, but then her eyes blurred and she was picked up again.

"Ahhhhh! Let me go! I won't hit you! I won't hit you anymore! Violent maniac! Monster girl! Let me go!!" Alice was going crazy. She was really trying to get around Connor. There's nothing she can do about this girl. She can't be beaten or driven away. Artoria is simply her nightmare!

"Pia~" Arturia let go of Alice. She was kicking her legs randomly this time, unable to stand firm and fell to the ground.

"You!!!" Due to her physical condition, Alice fell to the ground without any buffer, her nose was red from the fall. She stared at Artoria with tearful eyes, as if she wanted to bite her to death. .

Artoria spread her hands: "You asked me to let go."

"..." Alice stamped her foot hard, causing pain to her feet again. She whispered, then gritted her teeth, limped away, and turned back towards Saber. He waved his fist and cursed: "Don't interfere with my business anymore! I hate you!!"

Seeing Alice's petite body staggering away, Arturia felt more and more like a pitiful dog, the kind that was lame and got soaked in the rain on a heavy rainy day. She thought for a moment , and asked:

"Why would you do this? Alice."

Alice stood still without looking back. She said stiffly: "What are you referring to?"

"I know you like Master very much, but Master has clearly rejected you, right? Why don't you give up? With your conditions, there will be many boys who like you, right? Why do you have to embarrass Master? What about wasting your efforts?”

Artoria felt that Connor didn't like Alice. Although she didn't understand the feeling of "like" very well, it was really something that couldn't be forced, right? Alice is obviously forcing this relationship, and Artoria doesn't understand why she is so persistent.

Alice turned around suddenly and walked up to Artoria. Her eyes were full of anger: "What do you know?! You don't know anything!? You are just a painting! You are both You don’t know Connor! You don’t know me either! Then how do you know how much I like him!? Stop talking to yourself here!! Bastard violent woman! Don’t look down on others just because of Connor’s preference. Such feelings!!”

Arturia didn't expect Alice's reaction to be so big. She waved her hand in a panic: "Hug...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look down on you..."

"Ugh...!" Alice squatted on the ground, buried her head in her arms, and cried out in grievance: "Why is this happening! Why! I was obviously the one who came here first, and it doesn't matter if I like Connor or get married. It’s a contract! Why do you, a painting that appears from nowhere, want to snatch everything away?”

"Ah, well, I don't like the Master. It's not that I don't have that kind of relationship with the Master..." Arturia quickly waved her hands and explained.

But hearing this, Alice cried even more sadly. What she wanted was abandoned by others, which made her angry and uncomfortable: "Go away! Go away! I don't want to see you! I hate you." !”

But Artoria did not leave. She knelt down and put her hand on Alice's little head. Artoria actually didn't realize that Alice was also a very special existence to her. She just subconsciously thought Do it, so do it.

"I didn't mean to irritate you, I'm just...curious. I'm curious about what keeps you insisting on not giving up..." Artoria said softly:

"You also know that I am actually a painting. I don't really understand many things. If I hurt you unintentionally, I hope you can forgive me..."

"Master told me that I hope I can find a [reason] to exist in this world... In my opinion, it should be something like a goal, a goal that I can devote everything I have to achieving. .But I can’t find anything like this.”

Alice's crying subsided, she raised her head while sobbing, and asked angrily: "What...what do you mean?"

"In my opinion, Alice, you have such a goal. Alice, you want to pursue master, right? I'm just curious, what made you find such a goal and persist in it? "

Alice sniffed and cursed in a low voice: "Are you an idiot?"

"Eh? Huh?"

"What's not clear about this? I can do this because of course I love Connor." When the word love was mentioned, Alice didn't blush at all, as if it was a matter of course.

"Love?" Arturia's eyes flashed with confusion. She couldn't even understand liking this kind of emotion. The word love was too profound for her.

Alice wiped the tears and snot from her face, stood up and said, "I have always liked Connor. He is smart, kind, gentle, talented, and good-looking. His family background is the same as mine. He is so good." Connor, what reason do I have to dislike him?"

"..." So does Master have so many advantages?

"But that's just a liking. If I just like him, it's not enough for me to throw away the face of the Windsor family and pursue a boy."

Alice slowly squatted down by the wall: "But Connor is different, he is different... He reached out to me when I was the most helpless, the most isolated, and about to fall into despair. That person is none other than Connor."

"...What you don't know is that at the beginning, I spent my second grade in a state of confusion. I didn't know what happened to me, but what I always remember is that the person beside me who has been patiently protecting me is Connor."

"...Back then, when I was about to be completely lost, as if I was about to be swallowed up by the darkness, he put on a collar that he never liked and found me. The person who gave me hope was also Connor."

"...Back then, when everyone gave up on me and no one was willing to try to save me, the person who was willing to risk his life and come to me like a real Prince Charming was Connor."

Alice raised her face slightly, with a happy smile hanging on her lips: "Tell me, how could I not fall in love with Connor like this?"

"..." My master, what on earth did you do to this poor child? Although Artoria had no body, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

"I thought he liked me..." But then, Alice hugged her legs tightly, and tears couldn't stop falling from her cheeks: "If you don't like someone, how can you do it?" How about making such sacrifices for him? But Connor doesn’t like me at all!”

"He doesn't like me..."

"He doesn't like me at all..."

Seeing Alice hugging her knees and huddled up, as humble as a small animal, Artoria's heart was touched. Even she could clearly feel Alice's sadness.

She slowly sat next to Alice, stretched out her arms around Alice, rested her head on her shoulder, and carefully comforted her.

Alice sobbed and cried for a long time. Because of her arrogant personality, she actually didn't have many friends in school. This was the first time she said these words. Although the person listening was her biggest love rival, she still felt a little relieved. Relax.

"...So, I can only take the initiative. I don't know what to do to make Connor fall in love with me. I thought about excluding other competitors, but it was of no use. Some people have even done what they should do. I've done it all... I tried pestering him, but it only made him more annoyed with me... I tried to use my strengths to make myself more useful, and I also tried to use my body to attract his attention, but In the end, it just made him avoid me even more..."

Alice murmured in a very low tone: "I have tried everything, but he still doesn't want to look at me more. What else can I do? What else can I do... "

"I don't understand, but I can't give up. My heart, my life, everything about me belongs to Connor."

"Because I love him."

The air suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that you could hear the footsteps quietly walking away. Arturia hugged Alice lightly, speechless for a moment.

She had never thought that feelings could be such a heavy thing. She felt the weight of Alice's "love", as if it was so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

Master, you are really...sinful.

"Okay, if you want to laugh at me, do it now." After a while, Alice sniffed, pushed Artoria away, and stood up: "Anyway, I won't give up, even if it's I will use all dishonorable means to get Connor, and I will not lose to anyone!"

Alice's face was full of stubbornness, and Artoria could feel the seriousness in her tone. It seemed that Alice was actually a very strong child...

Artoria smiled and said, "How about, Alice, let me help you?"

"Huh, huh? Huh? What did you say?" Alice's eyes widened, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears.

"I mean, I'm here to help you pursue my master!" Arturia said seriously.

"Ah?" Alice was confused. What is going on? Did I persuade the enemy to surrender? Arturia isn't French either, is she? How come...

"Look, I actually don't have that kind of feeling for the master, and I also lack a [goal] now. I thought about it, so I might as well make it a small goal to help you catch the master! This will be good for the two of us. It’s all a good thing!”

"Ah!? This...you...are you really willing to help me?" Alice looked doubtful.

"Of course! Although I don't know much about your relationship, it's okay to just pass on the news and act as an internal agent. I still hope that Alice can succeed."

Artoria doesn't think there's anything wrong with being the mole. Although Connor is her master, I don't want to hurt him. There's no problem with being the mole.

"Really!? Artoria! Are you really willing to help me!" Alice jumped up in surprise. She grabbed Saber's hand. She was so excited that she couldn't control herself. She had fought all the way here alone, but it was really hard. Too tired.

"Well, Alice, believe me, the King of Knights will never break his oath!"

"Great! I'm sorry, Artoria, you are a good person! I wrongly blamed you before!" Alice was so happy. She didn't expect such a gain tonight.

"..." Master seems to have said that good guy cards are not a good thing? Arturia's hair swayed on her head and she didn't care about these details. Then she patted Alice on the shoulder and encouraged her:

"It doesn't matter, come on! Alice! With my help, I believe you will succeed!"
