Connor's Hogwarts

When Connor woke up leisurely and found himself lying naked on the bed, Connor shook his head and rubbed his temples. The memories of last night came flooding back...

At the beginning of last night, everything went smoothly. Connor also thought that the birthday party would always go so smoothly. Everyone communicated in a friendly way, the guests were full of wine and food, and the party ended successfully...

But no.

Connor's imaginary party only lasts until brothers Fred and George arrive...

It is almost impossible for the twins not to cause trouble, and Connor is also mentally prepared. Anyway, the two of them are not ignorant of the importance, and Connor is not too worried about the two of them.

However, Connor misjudged Fred and George's imagination...

As Connor's close friends, the twins are undoubtedly the people who are most familiar with Connor (Connor has always been a good baby in Flora's heart). In order to make trouble at Connor's birthday party and successfully make trouble, the two of them Come up with a “good” idea…

What is Connor's weakness? The twins, who were always at a disadvantage in their "battle" with Connor, never stopped looking for the answer to this question.

Indeed, Connor is handsome, talented, good at studying, and knows everything about magic. On the surface, he is a gentle man, but secretly he is sinister. It is not easy to find his weaknesses.

But after three months of secret observation, the twins discovered: Connor never refuses a girl's request!

Although this is not a weakness, it is still very practical to use this to cause trouble, so...

"Connor will not refuse a girl's invitation today."

With the encouragement of the twins, this sentence was known to the girls attending the party in various ways...

"Go ask Connor to dance. I'll bet Nat that you will succeed!"

"Hey! You know what? Connor wanted to dance with you, but he was too shy, and we decided to give him a hand, what? You want it too? Then go for it! You'll make it!"

"Want to dance with Connor and are afraid of being rejected? Don't worry, leave it to us. We are his good brothers. With our help, you will succeed!"

"..."

Then………

Whenever Connor finished a dance, the next contestant made a perfect relay under the arrangement of the twins...

Connor didn't notice anything at first. It wasn't until he danced four or five times in a row that Connor felt something was wrong.

Why are these girls lining up to invite me to dance? Is my charm already so great?

After careful observation, Connor discovered that it was the twins secretly giving him a dance partner!

?

Connor was confused at that time, when did you two become so interesting? Could it be said that my plan to recruit my twin brothers has been successful? The younger brother who knows how to send girls to his boss has a bright future!

But it turned out that Connor was overthinking. Sometimes, having many girls invite you to dance is not necessarily a good thing.

After dancing continuously for an hour, Connor understood, you twins are really little geniuses!

I've failed this time. Please use your magical powers. If I jump again, my legs will be broken!

Connor conveyed his surrender signal to the twins with his eyes, while Fred and George raised their thumbs left and right, showing their shining front teeth, and then continued to look for the next relay runner.

Because there were so many guests, few even noticed that Connor never left the dance floor from beginning to end.

Connor wanted to run away, but faced with invitations from shy and beautiful girls, Connor really couldn't bear to refuse.

After all, others have come all the way (actually just to visit the fireplace once) and brought precious gifts (actually mostly chocolates and greeting cards) to attend my birthday party (actually it’s more to join in the fun?)

How could Connor, who aspired to become a gentleman archmage, refuse the lady's small request to dance.

Then Connor danced from the beginning of the dance to the end, tired, and (not) happy.

When they were eating cake later, Connor shook his legs, smiled and pressed a large piece of cake on Fred's face, and then Fred smashed the cake on his face into the face of George who was laughing. A group of people There was a cake fight.

If Connor hadn't been in better shape, he might not have been able to climb up to the second floor.

After finally seeing off the guests, Connor finished taking a bath and was so tired that he didn't even change his clothes. He put on a bath towel and fell asleep when he touched the bed.

Well, that's why Connor woke up naked.

What? That's it?

That's it, do you still want to have any weird and indescribable plot? Connor is only eleven years old!

Connor got dressed and then began his Christmas routine: opening presents.

Connor sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the pile of gifts next to him, feeling a little headache.

This is too much, and Connor feels overwhelmed when he thinks about returning gifts in the future.

It would be nice if he had a secretary... Connor had this thought inexplicably.

These are birthday and Christmas gifts sent by owls last night. There are probably hundreds of them ordered, and most of them are from girls who have asked me for paintings.

Connor mainly paid attention to gifts from some familiar people...

Roger gave a book...well, it was Lockhart's "Holiday with a Dominatrix". Emmm, it's pretty good. It saved me money on a future textbook...

Penello sent some British-style coats, which look quite handsome...

Professor Nott gave one as a gift...Hey, isn't this a double-sided mirror...

Wait, a double-sided mirror? Knott's two-way mirror? Why does it sound familiar?

correct! Connor remembered that when he was shopping for mirrors in Diagon Alley, the owner of the utility store mentioned Knott's double-sided mirror!

Could this thing be produced by Professor Nott's family? emmm, I always feel that we are inseparable. Let’s go back to school and ask...

Haha, this is the Kyubey painted by Ivan, eating lotus root like this, hahaha, but it can barely be regarded as a successful magic painting. It seems that Ivan is also working hard at home, not bad.

Then there are a bunch of miscellaneous gifts, chocolates, greeting cards and snacks, oh, and a sweater from Mrs. Weasley, sky blue, not bad, although I prefer pink, and...eh? What's this?

Connor saw a small gift box...

This gift...was actually given by Dumbledore? ! Dumbledore actually gave himself a gift!

Connor was a little flattered. He really didn't expect Old Deng to give him a gift. It seems that he didn't prepare a Christmas gift for him... so he wouldn't be kept in the notebook.

Connor opened the packaging box and found a small, square and metallic "Rubik's Cube". Connor had seen this thing before and bought it in Diagon Alley. It is a magic prop for recording music.

There was a note left in the pink packaging box, written in a fancy font that circled around. Connor almost didn't recognize it:

"The Sorting Hat wants me to give this to you. Happy birthday, and Merry Christmas. - Albus Dumbledore"

Well, Connor scratched his head and looked at the small recording box in his hand. This can be considered a very interesting magic prop.

The sound it records can be retained for a long time. The disadvantage is that it can only record one piece of voice at the same time. Well, this is a repeater.

Connor injected magic into the repeater, and the strange singing voice of the Sorting Hat came out, which was exactly the part it sang at the beginning of school:

"Gryffindor favors the unyielding. Being timid and cowardly is not Gryffindor; Slytherin is in the Chamber of Secrets..." (See Chapter 24)

Eh?

Something was wrong, Connor frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

When a clue appears three times in a novel, there must be something to it! (Cross out this sentence)

Why did Dumbledore suddenly give him such a thing?

If I remember correctly, the Sorting Hat said that this passage was a clue to the Hogwarts treasure?

But Dumbledore seemed to sneer at it at the time, and Connor didn't take it seriously afterwards, thinking that he would join in the fun after the Chamber of Secrets opened.

But why did Dumbledore suddenly send such a paragraph now? Is he implying that Hogwarts does have such a treasure? But that's not what you said that night.

The small box repeated the Sorting Hat's weird tune. Connor withdrew his magic power and the repeater stopped.

Although he didn't know why Dumbledore behaved inconsistently, Connor didn't think that Dumbledore was the kind of person who gave gifts to others casually. This repeater must have a deep meaning.

Maybe...Hogwarts does have such a treasure? Dumbledore is encouraging me to find this treasure? But why didn't you give me a hint in the principal's office? Do you have to wait until my birthday to give such a gift?

emmm, I can’t figure it out, so forget it, let’s just think that I triggered the hidden mission, and wait until I get back to school to look for any relevant clues.

The treasures of Hogwarts seem very interesting...

"Connor Connor! Get up and come out to play cards!...Wow! Why do you have so many gifts!"

Ivan broke the door rudely and was shocked when he saw the pile of gifts piled up in front of Connor.

Then thinking about his pitiful gifts, Ivan felt a little sour.

"I'm envious. Your brother and I are very popular in school. It would be great if you can receive half of the gifts here when you go to school..."

Seeing Ivan running in, Connor put down the repeater in his hand, rubbed his head with a smile, and said cheerfully:

"Also, thank you for the gift. The painting is very good. Keep up the good work!"

"Um!"

My brother praised me!

The sour mood suddenly disappeared, my brother is so awesome! A bright smile appeared on Evan's face.
