Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 266 Arturia's Day
After Arturia disappeared, she wandered aimlessly in the castle. The master didn't want her to appear in front of people in her real body. As a "heroic spirit", she should obey his orders.

Except in the Room of Requirement, Arturia usually appears as a spirit body, trying not to attract the attention of others, she feels that she has always done a good job——

"Excuse me, have you ever seen this person? She is wearing silver armor and a long blue dress..."

The fluttering Artoria's dumb hair trembled suddenly. She subconsciously hid behind the wall, and then realized that she was invisible, and quietly poked her head out from behind the wall...

Ah, that girl again, Artoria remembered her, Hermione Granger, she had been looking for her since she was rescued by her on Halloween Eve, it's been almost a month now, hasn't she given up yet?
"May I ask if you have seen..." At the entrance of the auditorium, Hermione asked every little wizard passing by, with a persevering look.

She was holding a painting in her hand, which was Artoria, and it was painted by Ivan. Because Hermione couldn't catch Connor, she went to Ivan for the second best.

Ivan knew right away that Hermione was referring to Saber, but he would not reveal his brother's secret, so he drew a picture for Hermione casually. Although his drawing skills were limited, he was better than most people. Well done.

Hehe, only the master's fraternity in this school knows about himself, and the fraternity will not expose his companions, this kid is wasting his efforts now——

"Ah, I have seen it before, just now..."

"What?!" x2
Arturia's eyes widened suddenly, and the hair on her head kept shaking in irritation. How could it be possible? Who would dare to reveal it...

Arturia took a closer look, only to find that it was a boy she didn't know, who seemed to be a second-year Gryffindor student, and he continued to say to Hermione: "When I got up just now, I saw a similar figure sitting On top of Ravenclaw's tower..."

Oops!Forgot to be invisible just now, and Artoria was stunned, her hair bristling upwards in fright.

"What!? Really? Really!?" Hermione over there was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up excitedly. She finally got the news after inquiring for so long!

"Yeah, but that figure disappeared in a blink of an eye, I thought I was dazzled..."

"Quickly, can you tell me in detail?!"

After seeing the little girl go away, Arturia secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was only seen by chance, so she shouldn't be able to find out... right?

Arturia shook her head, turned and left, she wanted to stay away from that girl.

She walked outside the castle, and it was snowing outside the castle at this time, Artoria, on a whim, scattered the boots made of magic power, and stepped on the snow with bare feet.

Artoria could feel the coolness from the snow, she tilted her head, her body was completely made of magic power, the ordinary temperature had no effect on her, and the temperature that could affect the soul was of course not in the category of "ordinary" , She only felt cool when she stepped on the snow, and she would not get frostbite.

As a result, a string of barefoot prints suddenly appeared on the deserted snow, as if there was an invisible girl running on the snow. If someone found it, there would be some campus legends.

After running around for a while, Artoria suddenly stopped because a figure was running towards her. Artoria hurriedly stepped aside, and the child ran past, not noticing the mysterious figure on the snow. footprint.

That was Harry Potter. Artoria knew him. He was the kid who was fooled by the master into learning swordsmanship. He was still insisting on running in the morning in the middle of winter. He really had perseverance.

But swordsmanship... emmm, because the knowledge of swordsmanship has been in Altria's memory since she was born, just like the instinct of walking and talking, she doesn't need to practice at all, so she doesn't know how to practice it It takes a lot of effort for my own swordsmanship, but seeing this kid work so hard... he will definitely succeed.

Afterwards, Artoria walked around the castle again and checked the time. There should be people in the Room of Requirement now, so it's better to go back and play games.

So she randomly found a picture frame and drilled in, and the next second she appeared in the Room of Response.

At this time, the Room of Requirement was already very lively, and Artoria saw that several friends who were very close to the master were there.

Fred and George are selling something to a group of boys, Roger is fighting Wood's arcade, and Cedric is circling around a dark-haired girl, oh, that seems to be his girlfriend Qiu Chang.

Unexpectedly, there are so many people. It seems that you have to queue up to play the arcade. Artoria walked into the meeting room and changed into a home clothes. By the way, she took out a stack of "reserve food" and prepared to sit on the sofa and queue up while eating. .

Seeing Arturia appear, everyone took care of her one after another.

Having known each other for so long, everyone is familiar with this Miss Saber, and it is not difficult to get along with her as a student of the same age, and the heroic Saber is very popular among both boys and girls.

"Saber! Come sit here!"

"Saber, do you want to play monster cards together!"

"Saber, George and I have researched a little gadget, do you want to experience it?"

Invited by the girl to sit down, Artoria responded to everyone with a smile, then sat quietly while eating, and participated in the topic from time to time.

The little wizards in the fraternity are very friendly people, and every time they stay here, they give Artoria a sense of relief, which makes her feel that there is nothing wrong with being "alive".

Afterwards, Arturia spent a day playing in the Room of Requirement, arcade machines, monster cards, gossip about little girls... A peaceful life is very beautiful.

During the period, Artoria also held an induction ceremony for a second-year Slytherin. As a witness of the initiation of the fraternity, this is also one of her serious "jobs".

Several other girls came to find Connor (Penelo, Emily, etc.). Arturia did not receive the master's order to conceal her whereabouts, so she directly told them that Connor was in the library.

When it was time for dinner, Artoria finally got tired of playing games, bored, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"Target..." Arturia murmured to herself as she walked invisibly again in the castle, how can she find such a thing?Obviously, it is enough to live like this, carefree, don't worry about anything, don't have to think about anything.

But sometimes I still feel a little empty...

"You have to tell me clearly today! What is the relationship between you and Connor!"

Suddenly, Arturia heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from the corner ahead. This voice...is Alice?Could it be that she is bullying other little girls who like master?Alice is really careful...

Uh, Artoria was stunned, because it wasn't some little girl who was pressed against the wall by Alice's collar, but Cedric, ah...

"My lady, I have already explained that there is really no strange relationship between me and Connor! It was all a misunderstanding!! I have a girlfriend!" Cedric raised his hands above his head in surrender potential, explained with a bitter face.

"Who knows if you are trying to cover up people's eyes and ears! In order to cover up your ulterior motives, you actually have bad intentions! It is impossible for Connor to like men! Then you must be greedy for Connor's body! How dare you ride on Connor's body?" Body! Obviously even I haven’t tried it! Even I haven’t... Ah! Who is it!”

Alice was grabbing Cedric's collar and crazily "wall-dong", shaking poor Cedric dizzy, Artoria couldn't see it, so she walked over and grabbed Alice's collar She picked it up like a puppy.

Alice, who was caught in mid-air, froze. This familiar feeling, could it be...

"Arturia!!! Let me go! You rude violent woman! Let me go!!"

Alice struggled frantically, punching and punching jiojio, but all the attacks failed. In front of Artoria, Alice was just a scumbag.

"Don't trouble others anymore, are you a child? How old are you, can you be more mature? Sorry, Cedric, you go, I will deal with her." Artoria is like an old lady Same thing for Alice.

"Ah, it's really helpful, Saber, then I'll go first!" Cedric turned around and ran away decisively after the disaster.

"Hey! You stop! Don't run!"

Cedric ran faster and disappeared in an instant.

Arturia let go, and Alice staggered and fell to the ground. She akimbo and stared, and shouted angrily, "Weird girl! Why are you meddling in my business!"

"You went too far just now. As a knight, I can't see you bullying others like this." Artoria didn't lie. Every time she saw Alice, she couldn't help but want to "correct" her. She thought it was her integrity. The embodiment of knightly character.

"I want you to deal with it!!" Alice wanted to hit someone angrily. She moved her foot and wanted to step on Artoria, but then she was picked up again.

"Ahhhhh! Let me go! I won't hit you! I won't hit you anymore! Violent maniac! Strange girl! Let me go!!" Alice was going crazy, she really wanted to be with Connor There's nothing this girl can do. She can't be beaten or driven away. Arturia is simply her nightmare!
"pia~" Artoria let go of Alice, who was kicking her legs indiscriminately this time, but she couldn't stand firmly this time, and pia fell directly to the ground.

"You!!!" Because of her body, Alice fell to the ground without any buffer, her nose was red, she stared at Artoria with teary eyes, as if she wanted to bite her to death .

Arturia spread her hands: "You told me to let go."

"..." Alice stomped her feet fiercely, but her soles hurt again. She gritted her teeth in a low voice, and limped away, turning her head towards Saber. Waving his small fist, he cursed and said, "Stop meddling in my business from now on! I hate you!!"

Seeing Alice's petite body bouncing away, Arturia felt more and more that she looked like a poor dog, or the kind that was limped and soaked in heavy rain, she thought for a while , asked:
"Why did you do this, Alice."

Alice stood still without turning her head. She said bluntly, "What are you referring to?"

"I know you like Master very much, but Master has clearly rejected you, right? Why don't you give up? Based on your conditions, there will be many boys who like you? Why do you have to come to embarrass Master? Wasting effort?"

Artoria felt that Connor didn't like Alice. Although she didn't know the feeling of "like" very well, it was really something that couldn't be forced, right?And Alice is obviously forcing this feeling, and Arturia doesn't understand why she is so persistent.

Alice turned around abruptly, and walked up to Arturia, her eyes were full of anger: "What do you know?! You don't understand anything!? You are just a painting! You are both You don’t know Connor! You don’t know me! Then how do you know how much I like him!? Stop talking to yourself here!! Asshole violent woman! Don’t look down on others here because of Connor’s preference feelings!!"

Artoria didn't expect Alice to react so strongly, she waved her hands in a panic: "Hold... sorry, I didn't mean to look down on you..."

"Woo...!" Alice squatted on the ground, buried her head in her arms, and cried aggrievedly: "Why is this happening! Why! Obviously I came here first, and it doesn't matter if I like Connor or get married. The contract is also good! Why do you want to snatch everything away from a painting that appeared out of nowhere!"

"Ah, that, I don't like the master, no, I don't have that kind of relationship with the master..." Artoria quickly waved her hand and explained.

But hearing this, Alice cried even more sadly. The things she dreamed of were abandoned by others, which made her angry and uncomfortable: "Go away! Go away! I don't want to see you! I hate you !"

But Artoria didn't leave, she knelt down and put her hand on Alice's little head. Arturia didn't realize that Alice was also very special to her, she just subconsciously thought Do it, so you do it.

"I didn't mean to provoke you, I'm just... curious, I'm curious what is supporting you to persist and never give up..." Artoria said softly:

"You also know that I am actually a painting. I don't really understand many things. If I hurt you unintentionally, I hope you can forgive me..."

"The master told me that I hope I can find a [reason] to exist in this world... In my opinion, that should be something like a goal, a goal that I can put everything into and want to achieve .but I can't find anything like this."

Alice's crying subsided, she sobbed and raised her head, and asked in a low voice, "You... what do you mean?"

"In my opinion, Alice, you have such a goal, Alice, you want to pursue the master, right? I'm just curious, what made you find such a goal and persist? "

Alice sniffed and cursed in a low voice: "Are you an idiot?"

"Eh? Huh?"

"There's nothing I don't understand. Of course I can do this because I love Connor." When the word love was mentioned, Alice didn't blush at all, as if it was a matter of course.

"Love?" Artoria's eyes flashed blankly, she couldn't even understand the feeling of liking, the word love was too profound for her.

Alice wiped the tears and snot all over her face, stood up and said: "I have always liked Connor, he is smart, kind, gentle, talented, good-looking, and his family background and I are in the same family, so outstanding Connor, why do I not like him?"

"..." Does the master have so many advantages?

"But that's just liking. Just liking it is not enough to make me lose the face of the Windsor family and go after a boy."

Alice squatted down slowly by the wall: "But Connor is different, he is different... When I was the most helpless, the most isolated, and I was about to fall into despair, the one who extended a helping hand to me Man, it's Connor."

"...You don't know, at the beginning, I spent my sophomore year in a muddle, I don't know what happened to me, but what I always remember is that the person who has been patiently guarding me by my side is Connor."

"...At the beginning, when I was about to be completely lost, as if I was going to be swallowed up by darkness, Connor was the one who put on the collar he didn't like all along and found me and brought me hope."

"... Back then, when I was abandoned by everyone and no one was willing to try to save me again, the one who was willing to risk his life to come to me like a real prince charming was Connor."

Alice raised her face slightly, with a happy smile on her lips: "Say, how could I not fall in love with Connor like this?"

"..." My master, what did you do to this poor child?Although Artoria has no body, she feels goosebumps all over her body.

"I thought he liked me..." But then, Alice hugged her legs tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks unstoppably: "If you don't like someone, how could you?" How about making such sacrifices for him? But, Connor doesn't like me at all!"

"He doesn't like me..."

"He doesn't like me at all..."

Seeing Alice hugging her knees and curled up like a small animal, Arturia's heart was touched. Even she could clearly feel Alice's sadness.

She slowly sat beside Alice, stretched out her arms to embrace Alice, and rested her head on her shoulder, comforting her carefully.

Alice whimpered and cried for a long time, because of her arrogant personality, she didn't have many friends in school, and it was the first time she said these words. Although the person listening was her biggest rival in love, she still felt a little relieved Relax.

"...So, I can only take the initiative. I don't know what to do to make Connor like me. I thought about eliminating other competitors, but it didn't help. I did it all...I tried to pester him, but it only made him bore me more...I tried to use my strengths to make myself more useful, and I wanted to use my body to attract his attention, but In the end, it just made him avoid me even more..."

Alice murmured in a low tone: "I've tried everything, but he still doesn't want to look at me any more. What else can I do? What else can I do... "

"I don't understand, but I can't give up. My heart, my life, everything belongs to Connor."

"Because I love him."

The air suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that the sound of footsteps quietly going away could be heard. Artoria hugged Alice lightly, speechless for a moment.

She never thought that feelings would be such a heavy thing, and she felt the weight of Alice's "love", as if it was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

Master, you are really... sinful.

"Okay, if you want to make a joke, I'll take advantage of it now." After a while, Alice sniffled, pushed Arturia away, and stood up: "Anyway, I won't give up, even if I will use all disgraceful means to get Connor, and I will not lose to anyone!"

Alice's face was full of stubbornness, and Artoria could feel the seriousness in her tone. From this point of view, Alice is actually a very strong child...

Artoria smiled and said, "How about, Alice, let me help you?"

"Huh, huh? Ah? What did you say?" Alice's eyes widened, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears.

"I mean, I'm here to help you pursue my master!" Arturia said solemnly.

"Ah?" Alice was stunned, what's going on?I persuaded the enemy to surrender?Arturia is not French, is she?how come...

"You see, I don't actually have that kind of affection for the master, and now I also lack a [goal]. After thinking about it, I might as well make it a small goal to help you catch up with the master! It's good for the two of us. It's all good!"

"Ah!? This... you... are you really willing to help me?" Alice looked suspicious.

"Of course! Although I don't know much about your relationship, it's okay to be an insider just to pass on news. I still hope Alice that you can succeed."

Artoria doesn't think there is any problem with being the ghost. Although Connor is my master, I don't want to hurt him. Being the ghost is not a problem at all.

"Really!? Artoria! Are you really willing to help me!" Alice jumped up in surprise, she grabbed Saber's hand, and was so excited that she couldn't control herself. I'm so tired.

"Well, Alice, believe me, the King of Knights will never break his oath!"

"Great! I'm sorry, Arturia, you are a good person! I wrongly blamed you before!" Alice was so happy, she didn't expect such a harvest tonight.

"..." The master seems to have said that the good person card is not a good thing?Arturia shook her head, not caring about these details, and then patted Alice on the shoulder to cheer her up:
"It's okay, come on! Alice! With my help, I believe you will succeed!"
