Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 501 Before Christmas Holiday
"What? You're staying at school for Christmas too?"

"Well, yes, anyway. I'm busy at home, and I don't have anything to do when I go back. I'd better stay at school. Oh, I'll be home on your birthday."

Outside the school library, Connor talked with his brother who was reading in there a few minutes ago.

The Christmas vacation will start tomorrow, and Connor originally wanted to say hello to Ivan and go home together, but he didn't expect this kid to stay in school for the holiday.

"Well, that's up to you, anyway, Fred and the others are not going to Egypt"

Connor was taken aback. This Christmas, none of the younger generations of the Weasley family will follow their parents to visit Bill, which means that including Ron...and Ginny will stay in school for the holidays.
Connor gave Ivan a look of "I understand, I understand", patted his little brother on the shoulder and said with a smile, "That's all right, there are quite a few of your friends staying in school, have fun."

Connor waved his hand and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, he turned his head and said, "Don't miss my birthday party. Do you want me to pick you up at school then?"

"No need! I'm not a child anymore, I can go home by myself!" Ivan said with a straight face: "I will go there with Weasley and the others!"

"See you then."

"See you."

Ivan watched Connor gradually disappear into the crowd until he disappeared, then turned and walked back to the library.

----

On the other side, Connor was walking alone in the corridor of the school, and the faces of the little wizards passing by were filled with excited smiles. After all, it was almost a holiday, and the whole castle was filled with joy.

In order not to cause trouble to others or himself, Connor naturally activated the "Stone Ring" all the way. He walked in the crowd like an inconspicuous stone, unable to attract the attention of others.

Magic is so magical. Doraemon's treasure bag props that I dreamed about when I was a child in my previous life can almost become a reality in this world.

It's a pity that this ring can only weaken the sense of existence, and can't really "disappear", otherwise Connor really wants to try some strange ideas in the plot of this book.
"Connor, you are here, I was just looking for you."

When Connor was distracted, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, which shocked him a lot. He turned his head and hissed: "Ah, it's you, Penelope."

Connor looked at the little secretary with a normal face in front of him, and then at the several Ravenclaw seniors who were very excited because they "suddenly" discovered Connor at the corner a few meters away, and twitched the corners of their mouths:

"Although I know that this ring is quite unreliable, I'm still curious how you found me, Penello. You probably cast positioning magic on me, right?"

Penello looked at Connor rubbing the ring on his hand, smiled and said: "No, it's just a coincidence, and Connor, didn't you use this ring for experiments, as long as you look carefully, you can still find you , I can easily spot you after getting used to it."

"Well, it's not important... What can I do for you?" Connor waved his hand, turned around and continued walking forward.

Penello turned her head and waved to her classmates, then quickly followed Connor, walked side by side with him, and opened her Facebook at the same time:
"It's about Connor's invitation list for your birthday party. I just drew up one here. Check to see if there is any problem."

"Oh, sorry to trouble you, let me take a look."

Connor took Facebook subconsciously, and after a few seconds, he suddenly froze, turned his head and said, "Penello, I remember that I didn't arrange such a job for you, did I? And didn't I say a few days ago that you will be given a job during Christmas?" Are you on vacations?"

Penello turned her head sideways, stretched out her hand to brush her hair behind her ears, revealing her smooth and clean earlobes, she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "I'm your private secretary, Connor, how can I go on vacation without finishing my work?" Secretary, that's too incompetent."

"I didn't give you this job"

"Of course, an excellent secretary must consider everything that the boss didn't consider! It's the secretary's job to check for omissions and fill in vacancies, and isn't this what you need, Connor, but haven't had time to consider?"

"Okay, okay." Connor shrugged: "My secretary is so dedicated, it seems that he wants me to give you a raise."

"Really?" Penello covered her mouth and laughed, "But forget it, as long as Connor doesn't dismiss me, I will be satisfied. I really cherish this job."

"Then I'm not willing to..." Connor nodded after reading the list, and handed Facebook back to Penello:

"No problem. Originally, I thought it would be good to invite students from the fraternity, but after thinking about it, it is still inappropriate. This will indirectly expose our club. You should have thought about it and really should invite more people. Then I will follow this list."

"Leave me the matter of sending the invitation letter!" Penello blinked: "This should be my job, shouldn't it?"

"That's fine, then I'll trouble you." Connor thought about it, and he was happy to be at leisure. He would rather spend time on magic research than thinking about such trivial matters.

Now Connor's birthday party is not just a simple gathering of ordinary students. His grandfather and Flora have been in touch with him for a long time. Presumably there will be many celebrities and wealthy families in the magic world. His birthday party will probably be Become a real "upper party".

Although Connor felt a little awkward, who made him cause such a big storm in the magic world, the Lake family needed to deal with things and sort out relationships because of him, not as much as before.

Now his birthday party is a very good platform to solve problems. Even if he doesn't like this kind of thing, as the young patriarch of the Lake family, he still has to accept it.

Connor even expected that he might not be able to relax this holiday, and Ivan probably didn't bother to go home because of this.
But when he thought of what he was going to face after returning home, Connor couldn't help but feel a headache. He had to deal with those politicians and businessmen, so why not just stay at school and do experiments with Nicole!
woc!Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that Nico always looks like a secluded person who doesn’t compete with the world, and he wants to fool people with the appearance of the whole skeleton. He probably doesn’t want to pay attention to these trivial matters.

Connor twisted the bridge of his nose irritably, then he didn't know what to think, and suddenly turned his head to look at the girl beside him: "Penello, why don't you go home with me tomorrow."

"Eh, eh——?!!" Penello was taken aback for a moment, her pretty face turned red visibly, she waved her hands indiscriminately, and said in a panic: "This is too fast, I still Not ready to finish. I. I.”

"Cough cough, don't get me wrong, I mean I'm going to meet a lot of important people in the past few days, and I'm going to talk about business with you. Although there shouldn't be many things for me to do, it's not. Cough cough, Forget it, let’s talk about it later, I can’t let you work overtime on Christmas, well, that’s it, I’m leaving first.”

Connor himself felt a little embarrassed. He actually wanted to let employees work overtime during the holidays.

Connor felt that he couldn't be so bottomless in life, and while Penello was still in a panic and didn't react, Connor ran away in a hurry.

"I am willing." Penello watched Connor run away, but still stammered and whispered what she wanted to say, and then she covered her face with her hands.

"It's too much to say such irresponsible words without authorization."

After a while, a voice came from Penello's palms. She put down her palms, her face was still a little rosy, her watery eyes looked at the direction Connor was leaving, she took a deep breath and said :
"If it's only this level, I won't be able to complete my plan. I need to practice more."
