Connor's Hogwarts

"What? You're staying at school for Christmas too?"

"Well, yes, anyway, I'm busy at home, and I don't have much to do when I go back. I'd better stay at school. Oh, I'll go home on your birthday."

Outside the school library, Connor was talking to his brother who was reading inside a few minutes ago.

The Christmas vacation starts tomorrow. Connor originally wanted to say hello to Ivan and go home together, but unexpectedly, this kid actually wanted to stay in school during the vacation.

"That's right. It's up to you. Fred and the others aren't going to Egypt anyway."

Connor was stunned. This Christmas, the younger members of the Weasley family are not going to visit Bill with their parents, which means that including Ron... and Ginny will stay in school for the holiday.

Connor gave Ivan an "I understand, I understand" look, patted his little brother on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, a lot of your friends will be detained in school, have fun."

Connor waved his hand and was about to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Don't miss my birthday party. Do you want me to pick you up from school then?"

"No need! I'm not a child anymore, I can go home by myself!" Ivan said with a straight face: "I will go there with Weasley and the others!"

"See you later then."

"See you."

Evan watched Connor gradually disappear into the crowd until he disappeared, and then turned around and walked back to the library.

————

On the other side, Connor was walking alone in the corridor of the school. The little wizards passing by all had excited smiles on their faces. After all, it was almost holiday, and the whole castle was filled with joy.

In order not to cause trouble to others or himself, Connor naturally activated the "stone ring" throughout the whole process. When he walked among the crowd, he was like an inconspicuous stone, unable to attract other people's attention.

Magic is so magical. Doraemon's treasure bag props that I fantasized about as a child in my previous life can almost become a reality in this world.

It's a pity that this ring can only weaken the sense of existence and cannot truly "disappear". Otherwise, Connor would really want to try some strange ideas in the plot of the book.

"Connor, you are here, I was just looking for you."

When Connor was distracted, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, which startled him. He turned around and sighed: "Ah, it's you, Penelo."

Connor looked at the little secretary in front of him who had a normal expression, and then at the Ravenclaw seniors who were looking very excited because they "suddenly" discovered Connor a few meters away, and twitched his lips:

"Although I know this ring is quite unreliable, I'm still curious about how you found me, Penello. Could you have cast a locating spell on me?"

Penello looked at Connor rubbing the ring on his hand, smiled and said: "No, it's just a coincidence, and Connor, haven't you done experiments with this ring? If you look carefully, you can still be found. , after getting used to it, I can spot you easily."

"Okay, it's not important...what do you want from me?" Connor waved his hand, turned around and continued walking forward.

Penello turned back and waved to her classmates, then quickly followed Connor, walking side by side with him, and at the same time opened her Facebook book:

"It's about the invitation list for your birthday party, Connor. I just made one here. Please check and see if there are any problems."

"Oh, please, let me take a look."

Connor subconsciously took over Facebook. After a few seconds, he suddenly froze. He turned around and said, "Penelo, I remember that I didn't arrange such a job for you, right? And didn't I say a few days ago that I would give you a job during Christmas?" Are you on vacations?"

Penello tilted her head and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears, revealing her smooth and jade-like earlobes. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I'm your personal secretary, Connor. How can I take a vacation without completing any work?" My secretary, that’s too incompetent.”

"I didn't assign this kind of job to you"

"Of course a good secretary should consider everything that the boss has not considered! It's the secretary's job to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. And isn't this something that you need, Connor, but haven't had time to think about yet?"

"Okay, okay" Connor shrugged: "My secretary is so dedicated to her duties. It seems she wants me to give you a salary increase."

"Really?" Penello covered her mouth and laughed, "But forget it. As long as Connor doesn't fire him, I'll be satisfied. I cherish this job very much."

"Then I won't let it go..." Connor nodded after reading the list and handed the Facebook back to Penello:

"There's no problem. Originally, I was thinking of inviting classmates from the fraternity, but after thinking about it, it still wasn't right. This would indirectly expose our club. You should have considered it carefully and really should invite more people. Then I’ll go with this list.”

"Leave it to me to send out the invitation letter!" Penello blinked: "This should be my job, right?"

"That's fine, then I'll trouble you." When Connor thought about it, he was happy to be free. Rather than thinking about such trivial matters, he would rather spend time on magic research.

Now Connor's birthday party is not just a simple party for ordinary students. His grandfather and Flora have already had a bad relationship with him. Presumably many celebrities and wealthy families in the magic world will be present. His birthday party will probably Become a "high-class drinking party" in the true sense.

Although Connor felt a little awkward, who made him cause such a big disturbance in the magical world? The Lake family had to deal with more things and sort out the relationships because of him than before.

Now his birthday party is a good platform to solve problems. Even if he doesn't like this kind of thing, as the young patriarch of the Lake family, he still has to accept it.

Connor even expected that he might not have any time to spare during this holiday. Ivan probably thought of this and was too lazy to go home.

But when he thought about what he was going to face when he returned home, Connor couldn't help but get a headache. He had to deal with those politicians and businessmen, so he might as well just stay in school and do experiments with Nico!

wow! Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that Nico always behaves like a seclusion and aloof from the world, and also wants to fool people with his whole skeleton appearance. He probably doesn't want to pay attention to these trivial matters.

Connor twisted the bridge of his nose irritably, and then he didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the girl beside him: "Penello, how about you go home with me tomorrow."

"Eh, eh——?!!" Penello was stunned for a moment, her pretty face turned red visibly, she waved her hands randomly, and said in a panic: "This is too fast, I, I still can't. Not ready to finish.I.I."

"Ahem, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that I will probably meet a lot of big shots in the past few days, and probably follow them to discuss business and so on. Although there shouldn't be much for me to do, but it's not. Ahem, Forget it, let’s talk about this later, I can’t let you work overtime on Christmas, um, that’s it, I’ll leave first.”

Connor himself felt a little embarrassed. He actually wanted to ask employees to work overtime during the big holiday. This was too capitalist. He really shouldn't be lazy for his own sake. Besides, if Penello was rounded up, he was still considered a child laborer.

Connor felt that he couldn't be so bottomless as a human being. While Penello was still in a state of panic and didn't react, Connor ran away in a hurry.

"I, I am willing." Penello watched helplessly as Connor ran away, but she still stuttered and finished what she wanted to say in a low voice, and then she covered her face with both hands.

"It's too much to say such irresponsible words without authorization."

After a while, a long voice came from Penello's palms. She put down her palms, her face was still a little rosy, her watery eyes looked at the direction Connor left, she took a deep breath and said :

"If it's only at this level, I can't complete my plan. I have to practice harder."
