Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 281 Secret News
"Are you serious?" Helena raised her head, with surprise and expectation in her eyes.

"Of course, I never lie." Connor didn't expect to have such a harvest tonight. Is there an easier way to get clues to Ravenclaw's treasure than to ask her daughter?
What can be known so far is that although the female ghost in front of her is full of nonsense, she obviously wants to get the crown of Ravenclaw, and the not-so-bright Yazi...

Connor thinks it can be manipulated...

"How can I trust you?" Helena said warily.

Connor shrugged: "I didn't ask you to believe me, I proposed a deal, whether you are willing to proceed, that is a question for you to consider."

Connor roguely gave Helena the right to choose. No matter what the secret was, the whole "secret treasure" was a dispensable "life-sweetener" for him, but the crown was obviously full of love for Helena. allure.
Helena lowered her head and thought for a while, then took a deep breath and asked, "Answer me a question, Connor Lake."

Connor shrugged: "Excuse me."

"Are you sure you can crack the secret of the staircase and find the treasure left by Rowena?"

"Obviously, no." Connor spread his hands and said frankly, "As you can see, I'm at a loss now, and I haven't made any progress."

"I'm asking if you're sure"

"No, when I look for treasures, it's all by fate. I can't guarantee whether I can find it or not."

"." Helena was choked to death, so you can't lie to someone?What are you doing so honestly at this time?If you answer like this, I just want to cooperate with you, so I can't save face! !

After a while, Helena sighed helplessly: "Forget it, you are the closest person I have met in the past thousand years to find the secret. Even if you can't find it, I have been waiting for nearly a thousand years anyway, so I don't care." continue to wait"

"The diadem is the key to Rowena Ravenclaw," she said.

Connor frowned: "What do you mean? Find Ravenclaw? You mean she's still alive?"

Helena took a deep look at Connor and said, "Yes, she is still alive. My mother, Rowena Ravenclaw, is not dead."

Connor only felt a chill run up his spine, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of excitement in his heart. Didn't the characters from nearly a thousand years ago die?interesting
"Can you elaborate?"

"My mother was the most powerful and knowledgeable magician at that time." Helena said, "Of course she will not be defeated by mere diseases. She has been pursuing knowledge all her life, and knowledge is inexhaustible. Yes, how could she be willing to lose in time? So she created a magic item that can make her live forever."

"Have you ever heard of Horcruxes?"

Connor froze in place. He never expected to hear this term from a ghost. He nodded: "I heard that if a person separates the Horcrux and the soul is immortal, he will not die. It is a kind of The means to seek eternal life”

Connor looked at Helena in surprise: "You mean Ravenclaw has Horcruxes?"

That's incredible. As far as Connor knows, to separate a soul requires killing, right?Could it be that, but it seems that one or two people died 1000 years ago is not a big deal?
Helena lowered her head, her expression was uncertain: "That's right. My mother has a Horcrux, so she won't die easily."

Having said that, Helena paused, and then continued: "But she is not in the castle, so the Horcrux must be in the [treasure] she left behind, and she herself may have stayed in it." There. If you want to find [treasure], you must use the power of the crown. I want to find it. I want to see my mother again. That is my lifelong obsession."

Connor frowned, since Ravenclaw has Horcruxes, why should they stay in some treasure place?Isn't it good to live directly in this world?Or is there any limitation in the Horcrux itself?
"Don't you also want to find [treasure]? Our purpose is the same, I think we can cooperate." Helena raised her head and said urgently.

Connor touched his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "I can indeed help you find the crown."

Helena's face brightened, but she heard Connor say again: "...but how can you help me?"

Helena's joy froze on her face.

"Since it's cooperation, it can't be my unilateral contribution." Connor chuckled and said, "How can you help me, Ms. Gray."

Helena bit her lips, as if she was thinking about her own role, and after a while she said happily: "I can tell you where the treasure will be!"

"Oh?" Connor said, "I would like to hear more about it."

Helena let out a sigh of relief, as if she had finally thought of her own role: "My mother is a master of space magic, and her treasure is not in the castle, but in a different space that belongs to her. Middle. And the crown is the key to open the door of that space!"

Connor asked immediately, "Then you know how to open that door?"

"." Helena looked away: "This. I. I don't know"

"." Then what's the point of what you said?Connor looked at the distressed appearance of the ghost in front of him, and probably knew that he couldn't ask anything. It was a silly Ravenclaw ghost.
Connor sighed: "Forget it, give me two days, and I will find the crown."

"Really!?" Helena said in surprise.

"Who is it?" Suddenly a voice came from the stairs of the girls' dormitory, and someone noticed the movement in the lounge.

Helena took another deep look at Connor: "Then I'll wait for your good news, Connor Lake."

Then it disappeared through the wall.

"Connor? Why are you up?" A girl came out from the stairs. She had messy blond hair, was wearing light blue pajamas, and held a fat Pikachu doll in her arms. It looks like Connor's secretary, Ms. Penello.

Penello rubbed his eyes and walked over and said, "Who were you talking to just now?"

"It's nothing, I'm talking to myself, I can't sleep and come out for a walk." Connor shrugged and said with a smile.

"Oh..." Penello didn't look very sober, she didn't even pay attention to the tightness of the pajamas on her chest, she looked dull, which was quite different from her usual gentle and dignified appearance.

Connor's gaze unconsciously stayed in certain places for one, two, and three eyes. Then, in order to let Penello hear clearly, he deliberately walked a few steps closer and said without squinting: "Penello, why don't you ran out?"

"Oh me. Get up at night and open the door. I heard the sound and yawned and came here"

You opened the wrong door for feelings, I'm afraid it's because you didn't wake up at all, are you sleepwalking?This girl is really big-hearted, Connor didn't look sideways, and silently complained: "It's very late, I have to go back to sleep."

"Oh yes, go back to bed and sleep, tomorrow I have to send the children to the train station to go to school." Penello rubbed his eyes with one hand, and then naturally took Connor's arm with the other hand.
Connor's arm sank into some indescribable place naturally.
The air suddenly became strangely quiet.

Connor seemed to feel that the temperature around him had suddenly risen a lot. He turned his head. Even though the light was not enough, he could feel that the face of the girl beside him had turned red to the base of his neck.
Looks like I'm completely awake this time.
"Ah----!!!" Penello screamed suddenly, threw away Connor's arm, and ran back to the dormitory like flying.

"."Miss, your dream is a bit bad, and you are not harmful
Hearing the door opening sound from the dormitory passages on both sides, Connor twitched the corners of his mouth and complained silently. Then, before anyone came out to check the situation, he quickly cast a disillusionment spell on himself and slipped back to the dormitory.

Great harvest tonight, in every sense
