Connor's Hogwarts

"Professor Dumbledore, this is the research report that Professor Babbling asked me to give you."

After dinner, Connor met Dumbledore. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. He hadn't aged much and was still very energetic.

Soothing piano music is played in the principal's office, and the music box with its rich music library is very popular with Dumbledore.

"Good evening, Connor." Dumbledore greeted with a smile. There was a large crystal ball on the table in front of him. The crystal ball was close to him. The style of the painting was a bit inconsistent, but it was I can't find anything wrong with it.

Probably the bad old man who likes to peek into crystal balls is the character that most people imagine.

That crystal ball was a [monitoring large crystal ball] made by repeatedly combining double-sided mirrors. Dumbledore installed monitors in many places in the castle. This crystal ball can switch lenses at will, basically covering A view of the entire castle.

As the supreme ruler of the school, it is normal to have a crystal ball that can monitor the entire academy...right?

Connor handed the report in his hand to Dumbledore, and when he got closer, he discovered that Dumbledore was secretly spying on a certain Potter with a crystal ball - Harry was doing sit-ups in the Gryffindor common room...

"Professor Dumbledore, it is immoral to peek into other people's private lives." Connor complained noncommittally.

"Well, I just want to pay attention to what the little lions of Gryffindor are doing on a daily basis. This will help me carry out my work." Dumbledore did not pay attention to Connor's words, but watched with more interest. I also ate a few cockroaches.

"Is there any progress in the research on magic scrolls?" Dumbledore took out a handful of candies, put them on the table and pushed them in front of Connor.

"No, the progress is stable, there are no breakthroughs." Connor naturally sat down in his old position and crossed his legs. He didn't know what this bad old man was leaving him to do.

"Take your time, take your time, you can't rush this, research is always boring. Nico and I suffered a lot when we studied the use of dragon blood together in the past."

Dumbledore and Connor chatted like an ordinary old man showing off his glorious past. This kind of Dumbledore made Connor feel much more friendly.

"He has been very calm recently." Dumbledore suddenly changed the subject, and the crystal ball switched to a figure - Quirrell.

At this time, Quirrell was staying in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, grading homework seriously.

"Voldemort." Connor thought for a while and asked what he had always doubted: "What is the state of Voldemort and Professor Quirrell now? Well, didn't you say that Voldemort is in Professor Quirrell? Then he Where is it hidden?"

In order not to appear to know everything, Connor asked relatively low-level questions.

"." Dumbledore was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Actually... Quirrell is already dead."

"Eh? What?" Connor didn't expect to get such an answer.

"Voldemort is parasitic on the back of Quirrell's head." Dumbledore patted the back of his head and said, "He has taken over Quirrell's body and used Quirrell's life force to maintain his existence. Their current state is It's inseparable, even if we drive Voldemort out of his body, Quirrell won't survive."

"Although Quirrell still looks alive, in fact his life no longer belongs to him."

"." Connor frowned and asked softly: "Is it hopeless?"

Dumbledore was a little surprised: "You want to save him? Why?"

Quirrell was now wearing the same pants as Voldemort, and Dumbledore thought Connor understood this.

"Professor Quirrell is actually quite innocent. I heard that he was originally a cowardly person. Voldemort must have used Quirrell's life to threaten Quirrell to do things for him. In order to survive, Quirrell had no choice but to become the devil's lackey."

Connor pondered for a moment. He was not a member of the Holy Mother. He just felt that Quirrell was pitiful. He was originally just a cowardly scholar. An accident happened when he went out to collect materials. He was possessed by a hermaphrodite. The entire novel is one of his best. Tough luck, Connor wouldn't mind saving his life if it could be saved.

"In the end, this is all Voldemort's fault."

Anyway, just put the blame on Voldemort.

"In fact, it's not impossible to save." Dumbledore nodded. He liked the kind child very much. He slowly touched his beard and said:

"Once Voldemort leaves Quirrell's body, he will inevitably take away all the vitality in Quirrell's body. It can be said that Quirrell will definitely die. If you want to save him, you must replenish Quirrell at the moment Voldemort leaves. The vitality he needs, it is very difficult to do this, and "

Dumbledore raised his eyes and glanced at Connor: ".Not worth it."

"." Connor smacked his lips, and this answer was expected. Dumbledore was not a good person to begin with. Forget it, Professor Quirrell, you should go in peace, your wife and daughter. Oh, you are the old man. The bachelor is here. Excuse me.

"But," Dumbledore said before he said anything, "there is a simpler way now."

"Oh? What is it."

Dumbledore pointed to Connor's earrings: "Isn't your painting magic able to attach to the soul?"

Connor suddenly understood.

——

"Professor Dumbledore, why did you bring me here?" Half an hour later, Dumbledore took Connor to an empty room on the third floor of the castle. Connor looked at the empty room and wondered. asked.

"Well, Christmas vacation is coming soon. I'm here to prepare a gift for the naughty child." Dumbledore smiled in a relaxed tone. He raised his hand, and a small mirror appeared in his hand, and then slowly rotated, slowly It slowly grew larger, and soon turned into a very majestic mirror, reaching the height of the ceiling, with a gorgeous golden frame, supported by two claw-shaped feet underneath.

Connor saw the string of words on the top of it, which was the Mirror of Erised. Connor quickly determined what it was, and then he subconsciously looked at the mirror.

"This is the Mirror of Erised that I told you before. It can see the deepest desires in people's hearts. This is a very magical magic item. The soul and space magic on it is very profound. How to use it It’s also very interesting, you can just stand on the back of the magic mirror.”

Dumbledore was introducing this magical mirror to Connor in a ostentatious manner, but when he turned around, even as steady as he was, he showed a surprised expression: "Connor, you"

".Why are you crying?"

On Connor's fair face, a line of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes. This was the first time Connor shed tears since he was able to control his body.

"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I lost my composure." Connor reacted. He immediately turned his back and wiped away his tears, and then walked towards the door without stopping: "I suddenly remembered that something is urgent. I'll leave first. ”

Connor left the room, and Dumbledore looked at his leaving figure without holding back.

Dumbledore was confused. According to his understanding, Connor lived in a happy family. He thought Connor would only see his own appearance in the mirror...

But he cried? Why?

Dumbledore didn't understand that he didn't use magic on the mirror just now.

That kid...what did he see?
