Connor's Hogwarts

"Yes, the contract has been signed. I will negotiate for future matters, but...Professor, there are still too few people I can use. Can you recommend a few?"

"I do have a few people I trust...all of them are old friends from many years ago, but they may not understand what I stand for, so I can't solve your problem for the time being."

"So it is urgent to recruit professors so that professors can free up more time to do more meaningful things."

"Hahaha, you can rest assured about this. I have received more than a dozen application letters from all over the world since the news was released yesterday. Our school's signboard is still very effective. I will be busy during the next period. I’ll leave everything to you over there.”

"OK, let's discuss the specific matters back to school."

Connor hung up the Facebook message and found Penelo, the passenger next to him, staring at him unblinkingly.

"What's wrong? Have you decided where to go next?"

"Well, no, I'm just curious." Penello tilted his head and smiled: "Connor, can you tell me what happened now? I have been confused from morning to now, although I don't mind Yeah, but I keep feeling itchy inside. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you touch me?”

Connor coughed pretending to be serious. He had just left Windsor Castle and tempted me like this. Which cadre could withstand such a test.

Connor had friendly discussions with several Muggle nobles, and settled on cooperation intentions and preliminary cooperation plans. Then, after several people had lunch in the castle, Connor, under Alice's resentful eyes, said: Penello said his goodbyes and left.

"I will tell you everything, but I have to tell you one by one. You can ask, what do you want to know?"

"Well, Connor, what is the purpose of your cooperation today? Although I know that you have finalized a plan to build a power plant, I don't quite understand what your cooperation actually means?"

"The purpose of today's meeting is actually to form an alliance with those Muggle nobles. Building a power plant is just the first step. It is a piece of bait I threw out. As long as they see what cooperation with me can bring to them. They will pounce on us more and more like sharks smelling blood." Connor chuckled lightly.

"Them?" Penello pressed the troublesome hand on his chest: "Why do I feel that they are not the two dukes you are talking about, Connor?"

"It's them, but it's not just them. I want to catch more than just these two fish." Connor shook his head: "Before, I made them mistakenly think that my purpose was to seek status in the wizarding world. It sounds like I It seems like they are relying on them to rebel, but in fact it is all a lie to them.”

"As you saw just now, what I am doing today is planned with Professor Dumbledore. To put it more arrogantly, we are playing a big game of chess."

"Originally, Professor Dumbledore's plan was to start slowly. He wanted to deal with the internal problems of the wizarding world first and then find a way to solve the threats of the Muggle world in the future. But I think If he followed his pace, he wouldn't be able to wait for that day, so I convinced him that he should take a two-pronged approach and might as well take a bigger step."

"Wait a minute," Penello said with a blush, "I don't understand again. You should tell me first what you and Professor Dumbledore are going to do, right? Although I know you are planning to do something big. , but I’m still confused now.”

"Huh? How do you put this? If I say we are saving the wizarding world, would you believe it?"

"Believe it, I believe whatever you say Connor."

"Haha, actually this is the truth. Professor Dumbledore and I are looking for a way out for us wizards. I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. According to the current development speed of Muggles, we won't have to wait many years. I estimate it will be twenty or thirty years. In time, Muggle technology will develop to the point where wizards will find it difficult to compete. Grindelwald had already seen this future. The Dark Lord planned to start a war to rule the Muggle world, but Dumbledore and I Even Lido thinks that is just asking for death."

Penelo ignored her body's reaction and listened in shock with her small mouth. She was just an underage girl. How could she have considered such a thing before? Connor's straightforward words brought her a The impact was huge. Because of her trust in Connor, she did not even doubt the possibility of this future. She did not expect that the seemingly peaceful wizarding world actually lurked such a crisis.

"Grindelwald's crude method of overturning the table is destined to fail, but if we don't want future wizards to become guinea pigs in Muggle laboratories, we must find another way for wizards to survive. Dumbledore and I Everything we are doing now is to achieve this goal.”

"Then what is our plan?" Penello frowned, she was so scared by Connor that she felt in crisis.

"We"? Connor looked at Penello and smiled: "There are too many enemies we have to face, such as this magical world filled with racial discrimination and constant infighting, the wizarding world where the people are ignorant and unwilling to make progress, and The Ministry of Magic clearly knows our situation and there are so many problems that need to be solved, but arrogantly chooses to turn a blind eye."

"Penello, do you know? Once our actions are exposed, we may be enemies of the entire magical world. I may become the new generation [Dark Lord] in the mouth of most wizards. Even so, you Do you still want to choose to stand with me?"

"Why not?" Penello's eyes were firm: "I believe you are right, Connor, and I will always support you behind your back."

"Haha, thank you for your trust." Connor lowered his head and kissed Penello's forehead. The car was open and the passenger seat was unoccupied for some reason.

"By the way, Connor, does Alice know what you are going to do?"

Connor's expression was strange: "Ahem, no, she doesn't know. Although her father has agreed to this, she should be counted as the one who was dragged onto the pirate ship by me, but she should have figured it out. Our Lake family The Windsors are already staunch allies of Professor Dumbledore, so you don’t have to worry about her betrayal."

"I'm not worried about this! So that's what it is. I understand." Penello rolled his eyes, smiled slyly, twisted his body a few times in Connor's arms and said with a smile: "You continue."

"Then let's continue talking about our plan. First of all, the professor's purpose of breaking the news about the Chamber of Secrets is to attract talents to teach at Hogwarts. On the other hand, it is also to attract the attention of the entire wizarding world. On the other hand, we act, Next, our cooperation with Muggles is the focus of the plan."

"Using our wizarding skills to cooperate with Muggles, and finding a way to hide from the Ministry of Magic's detection, this matter will be our most important task next."

"This is also the solution for wizards that Professor Dumbledore and I discussed - reintegrating us human wizards into the Muggle world through profit bundling."

"The fundamental purpose of all these actions is to allow the wizarding world to find its own position in this world again." Connor simply closed his eyes and let the car drive by itself: "The wizarding world has been separated from the Muggle world for too long. When we want to return to the system of the entire human world, we will inevitably be assigned a [position] that belongs to us, and what we are doing now is to find ways to take the initiative in position allocation in the hands of wizards."

"Location? What do you mean?"

"Just imagine, a war broke out between the wizarding world and the Muggle world. In the end, we failed because we were outnumbered. What will happen to the defeated wizards?"

"Um" Penello shuddered: "Will he be arrested? Will he be hunted for witches like in the Middle Ages?"

"This is indeed the most likely outcome. In this way, wizards will completely lose their status. Wizards will be exposed to Muggles again. They can be considered integrated into the Muggle world, but they will be assigned the worst position."

"That's true! So what should we do?"

"So we cannot break out a war. The number of our wizards is too small. The result of the war must be defeat. We must take the initiative and integrate into the human world proactively, subtly, and without leaving any trace. For example, transform wizards from a kind of An identity becomes a profession.”

The magic car drove smoothly on its own. Connor continued: "In fact, most of the resources in the Muggle world are in the hands of a very small number of people. Our first step is to contact this group of people and let them accept us. existence, carry out deep binding of interests, and then slowly expand this circle of interests to influence more people, and finally allow us wizards to have the right to speak in the Muggle political world."

Connor opened his eyes: "At that time, there are many things we can do. For example, let the most powerful government in the Muggle world announce that humans have discovered a new energy [magic], and then wizards will become the researchers to study this kind of energy." Human beings with new energy are no longer the aliens being chased and killed.”

"Of course, things can't be that simple, but integrating into this world as naturally as possible is our ultimate goal."

Penello suddenly said: "Connor, you seem to have been emphasizing us humans, what about goblins and other magical races?"

"." Connor suddenly let out a sigh of relief: "I thought you hadn't noticed that I didn't know whether I should praise you for being so smart."

Penello blinked his eyes and lightly covered his mouth: "Is it possible?"

"We have to do our best to protect the interests of our wizards. Penello, I can only guarantee the interests of our wizards. This world is not beautiful at all, and it is not a fairy tale at all. I can only promise that I will do my best, but the result will be What will happen? I can't see that kind of future either." Connor sighed and stopped talking.

".You have done a good enough job. I believe Connor that you will find the best way. I believe in you!"
