Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 471 Isn't it natural that something will happen on Halloween?
Dumbledore actually called the skeleton dance troupe to dance
Connor really doesn't know what's so good about a group of skeletons dancing a striptease. Could it be that Dumbledore is trying to let the little wizard understand what is called a "pink skull"?But you, a wizard, don't believe in Buddhism.

The Halloween dinner went well. From time to time, little wizards who love to express themselves came to the stage to perform, sing and dance, or pretend to be scary ghosts, which reminded Connor of the shameful past he did in the first grade. Fortunately, the person who knew about it had already graduated It was half over, and there was no video evidence left. Although it was a commendable magic performance in the eyes of others, Connor only felt that it was a dark history that needed to be covered up.

The Weasley brothers obviously held the opposite opinion with Connor. They are "stars who will die if they don't do anything", and they will never miss the opportunity to perform at the banquet. No, they performed the coin dance on stage. Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs cheered in the auditorium as it rained magical gold coins.

But Connor looked at the contemptuous and disgusting eyes of the quiet Slytherins around him, and suddenly understood why the people from these two houses were always at odds with each other.

For example. In fact, Slytherins enjoy the same feeling of being sought after by everyone as Gryffindors, but they can't hold back their face to "sensationalize", and the psychological effect of "I can do it on me, I just don't bother to do it" Now, they don't like the flamboyant Gryffindors.
Then Connor looked at the long table in Gryffindor. Ivan, who was sitting next to Ginny, suddenly became a little worried about his brother's interpersonal relationship. Could it be that the kid has no friends in the academy?You just sit on the side of the "enemy" camp so openly, will your little friends really let you go easily?

"Are you worried about your brother?" Alice asked with a chuckle after noticing Connor's gaze.

"No, Ivan also has his own life, I can't care too much about it," Connor categorically denied, bowing his head to eat.

"Hehe, that's what you say." Alice smiled sweetly, and said in a low voice: "So I said that you don't understand our Slytherin [tradition] at all. In Slytherin, what affects a person's status in the group There are many factors, but the most important one is always the family background”

"Almost all wizards in Slytherin come from magical families. They may not have learned magic since they were young, but they are absolutely clear about the division of power in the wizarding world. After all, this is one of the compulsory lessons we have learned since childhood."

"Is there such a thing? Why don't I remember that I have learned it. Oh, by the way, I didn't have enlightenment with a tutor when I was young. It seems that I really missed a lot of courses."

Connor recalled Ivan who had to go to class every day when he was a child, and himself who skipped the elementary school stage and fast-forwarded to learn magic with his grandfather, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be the "other".
Alice rolled her eyes slightly, and continued: "Perhaps outsiders may see us Slytherins as arrogant and indifferent, united and xenophobic, and often being isolated by other houses is our own fault."

"Is not it?"

"...Yes! But there is a reason!" Alice glared at Connor: "We wanted to manage every relationship seriously at the beginning, but just sorting out the relationship network with classmates from the same college Has worn out most Slytherins."

"Most Slytherins were told by their elders before entering school to have a good relationship with so-and-so, and to keep a distance from so-and-so. Our first priority after entering school is also this. Compared with learning magic, managing interpersonal relationships is the most important thing. The focus of our lives, but you can't expect a bunch of [-]- and [-]-year-olds to be really good at making relationships."

Alice put down the knife and sighed deeply: "So the end result is mostly messing everything up"

"Puchi, Connor, don't believe Alice's nonsense, in fact, she can't make friends because of her bad temper." (Sister)
"That's right, that's right, I still remember that when I was in the first grade, Alice almost always went home with a dark face, obviously I got along well with my friends~" (Sister)
"Could you two shut up!" Alice was furious, and she slapped Connor's thigh fiercely: "In short, this is the result of my careful investigation! Connor, you believe me or believe them!"

"I believe you believe you! Of course I believe you." Connor comforted with a dry smile. Is this kind of thing worth arguing...

"Hmph! In short, in Slytherin, it is difficult for you to make real friends, because all relationships here are actually about interests. Under the influence of our family, we are used to measuring feelings by interests, and it is precisely because of this that we It will appear united, because our interests are connected together!"

Alice crossed her arms and said, "So Connor, you don't have to worry about your brother at all. Now your Lake family is the object of everyone's curry favor in Slytherin."

Not knowing what to think of, Alice suddenly hugged Connor's arm again, and said with a serious expression: "But I'm different! I really like Connor!"

"Hey~ Astoria, you have bumps on your arms, it's disgusting~" (Sister)
"Daphne, you too, disgusting~" (sister)
"Enough is enough for you two!!" Alice jumped angrily, almost jumping over the table to hit someone.

Connor patted Alice on the head amusedly and said, "Okay, they're just joking."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Alice's eyes, she leaned her head on Connor's arm, and muttered: "But I seem to be turning Connor's brotherhood into a place that values ​​​​interests, and I know you always That was not the intention at the beginning.”

Connor smiled: "Do you think I have stopped you? There is nothing wrong with what you did. It is not a bad thing to pay attention to interests. Who can say that a friendship that emphasizes interests is not friendship? Or how many friendships are true? Doesn't it involve any interest?"

"." Alice held Connor's hand tightly again, and after a while she whispered: "Connor, I dragged Daphne and Astoria into the brotherhood without authorization, do you blame me?"

"Huh? No, why did you suddenly mention this?"

"I also know that it is wrong for me to abuse my power like this, but I often think that it would be nice if our house also had a fraternity atmosphere... In fact, every Slytherin is eager to make friends in school, and in Everyone in the fraternity does it easily, so I hope to bring them in... All Slytherins should have the opportunity. But I don't know how to go about it."

Alice buried her head on Connor's shoulder and muttered incoherently.

"." Haha, this crazy girl is cute sometimes, Connor patted Alice's head and didn't speak.

Suddenly, Connor felt something vibrate in his arms, and he helped Alice up: "Sorry, I'll check Facebook information."

But just as Connor took out Facebook from his pocket, before he even opened it, the door of the auditorium was suddenly knocked open, and Ron and Hermione who were running out of breath came in.

Ron looked out of breath, but he managed to yell, "Help! Snakes! Lots of snakes!"
