Connor's Hogwarts

After dealing with Alice, Connor finally sent her away, and finally only he and Penello were left in the office.

"Penello, is there anything else?" Connor looked at the little secretary beside him doubtfully. Something seemed wrong with her today.

"Ah? That...me..." Penello, who had been immersed in her own thoughts, looked a little at a loss. In fact, she didn't know what she was going to do if she stayed.

Originally, she just wanted to see Connor's decision and test her position in Connor's heart, but the result was not satisfactory.

She didn't test out her status or anything, but instead took a mouthful of lemon. Now Penello regrets it, very regrets it. Why on earth did he recommend Hermione to come to Connor in the first place?

Originally, that was supposed to be my job. It should be me who was taught by Connor himself, and I should be the one who was ordered to do things by Connor. Woohoo, that was obviously the task Connor gave me.

As for whether work would be tiring or something like that, Penelo didn't mind at all, not to mention that the workload was nothing at all. In fact, Penelo herself was a workaholic, and she would only feel it when she was busy. Fulfillment, the more tasks Connor assigns to her will only make her more excited.

Normally, she would have gone to work long ago at this time, but now Penello could only feel a sense of emptiness, loss, and lack of motivation.

Her hard work was in vain, and she ended up making clothes for others. She was unwilling and angry, but because this was the result of her own fault, all the emotions were mixed together and she was left with only frustration.

To put it simply, it is - [The baby is unhappy and needs to be coaxed to get better].

Of course, Penelo didn't think Connor would coax her, so she just thought about it.

Penello sighed imperceptibly: "I'll stay and ask what the next arrangements are."

Connor was not aware of Penello's complicated thoughts. He pondered for a while and said: "I don't have any arrangements, but there is something Penello you should know about. It's about our Professor Lockhart. Penello, you still Have you ever taken this professor’s class?”

"Um, no, the fifth grade Defense Against the Dark Arts class is the day after tomorrow, but didn't they all say that the professor's teaching... wasn't very good?"

Penello signed a ten-year "contract" with the Lake family, or in other words, with Connor. Penello will serve the Lake family for the next ten years, which is almost like signing a "contract of sale."

In fact, this kind of magic contract is very common. Every year, major magic families come to Hogwarts to look for outstanding "ordinary students" in the fifth, sixth and seventh grades, and offer them contracts with favorable conditions. It is a magical version of campus recruitment.

Most young wizards of Muggle origin who go to magic universities will not return to live in the Muggle world. Without family support, their employment problems after graduation are much more difficult than other young wizards.

They work hard to take various certificates and get good grades in the exams just so that they can get a better offer after graduation. In this regard, there seems to be no difference between the wizarding world and the Muggle world.

The contract under the now prosperous Lake family is undoubtedly a top offer. In the wizarding world, it is almost as bragging rights as "signing with the Fortune 500 after graduation", but it is rare to sign a ten-year contract.

Penelo is undoubtedly special at this point, and it is precisely because of this that Penelo is qualified to know more "insider information."

"Don't say that. Professor Lockhart's teaching method is very special. Maybe you can actually learn something..."

"..." What do you mean [maybe you can actually learn something]? When you say that, I really have no expectations at all! Penelope pursed her lips.

"Anyway, you will know after you take his class. Although he is just a liar, but..."

"Eh??! Liar? Connor, are you talking about Professor Lockhart? Is he really a showman as the rumors say?"

"Oh, you don't know this yet, it's like this. During the summer vacation, I actually invited Lockhart with Principal Dumbledore..." Connor told Penelope the story of Lockhart.

"Oops! He is such an embarrassment to us Ravenclaws! I'm even ashamed of him!" Penello frowned and scolded. Originally, she had not had a bad impression of Lockhart after reading Lockhart's books, but now she has a good impression. All was lost.

"Ahem, although this professor is not a good character, he still has abilities. I plan to recruit him into our family."

"Huh? But..." Penello frowned, "Don't we expose his true face? This kind of person..."

"Don't worry, he will be punished," Connor waved his hand, "Dumbledore had no intention of letting him go. [Gilderoy Lockhart] will no longer exist in the future..."

"I value his ability very much. There are not many people who can use memory magic to such an advanced level. This professor is like a movie crew alone."

"Movie? Crew?"

"Haha, Penelo, maybe you will be able to see movies produced by our wizards soon. Maybe we will build a wizard cinema in the future..."

"?" Penello didn't understand.

"Hey, Penelope, what do you think we make a movie based on the second grade Harry Potter and put it on the Muggle screen? I've already thought of the name, it's called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" "How about..." The pleasant smile on the corner of Connor's mouth could not be concealed at all, and you could tell at a glance that he was planning some bad idea.

"..." Although Penello didn't quite understand, looking at the excited Connor, he really couldn't bear to spoil his interest with words.

Connor is different from everyone she knows. He is always particularly persistent in some strange places, always particularly interested in some strange things, and is easily immersed in his own world, or that he has always lived In my own world…

His world seemed to have never been opened to anyone.

Penello lowered his eyes, really wanting to step into his world and get to know the real Connor, but... why didn't you even give others a chance? After all, it was you who built the airtight wall. Or has no one ever found the right door?

"Ah, it seems it's getting late, Penello, let's go have dinner together?" Connor, who had been talking to himself for a long time, then looked at the clock.

"Well, okay, I'm very honored." Penello showed a bright smile, hiding all his thoughts in his heart.

I have seen your strength and am willing to stay by your side. I hope that one day when you let go of your guard, you will be willing to take me out of this entangled love network.
