Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 51 Going to the Principal's Office for Tea
Through the door knocker of the Griffin Head, Connor came to the Hogwarts headmaster's office for the first time, which was a spacious and beautiful circular room.

Dumbledore hadn't returned yet, and there was no one else in the room. Dumbledore's phoenix Fawkes was standing on a gilded perch, tilting his head and looking at Connor who came in.

The walls of the room were covered with portraits of former male and female old principals. As soon as Connor entered the door, the people in the portraits all looked over, or continued to pretend to be asleep, or talked a lot, but no one spoke to Connor.

Also in the center of the room was a huge table with claw legs, and on a shelf behind the table was the battered Sorting Hat.

Nothing happened for a while, Connor decided to chat with the sorting hat.

"Hey, Sorting Hat, we meet again."

The dirty sorting hat shook, probably waking up from thinking. It looked at Connor with its "eyes", as if "seeing" who it was, and said happily:
"Hello, Connor Lake, the most qualified freshman in recent years, I remember you, I haven't seen you for a while, you have become stronger."

?Connor seems to have heard some strange adjectives? "Sorry to interrupt, I didn't hear you wrong... What did you just say that meets the requirements?"

"Oh, you heard me right, it's okay to tell you. As a hat that was endowed with wisdom by the four founders, in addition to working for the new branch, I was also given the mission of finding qualified candidates!"

? ? ?I seem to have overheard something incredible?Connor asked cautiously, "Excuse me, what is a qualified person?"

"Qualified students are students who meet the requirements of the four founders at the same time, and are eligible to inherit the treasures of Hogwarts." The Sorting Hat said honestly.

?Connor was stunned for a while, did he trigger the plot?But never heard of the Sorting Hat having this function?Moreover, why did the Sorting Hat utter such a secret that sounded terrible? ! ?
Connor swallowed, and asked, "Then... May I ask what your request is?"

"It's very simple, pure blood, extraordinary courage, extraordinary wisdom, kind nature and strong strength."

"..." Then your condition is really very simple.

"So you think I still lack strong strength?" Connor asked without blushing.

"Basically, it's just that they didn't tell me how powerful the powerful strength is at that time, and it's hard for me to judge."

? ? ?You are too unreliable, why is it such a joke to hear what you say?Connor had black hair, and he asked: "Isn't Principal Dumbledore a qualified person?" Could it be that old Dengtou is actually a big devil who likes to snatch girls' lollipops, and he is not kind at all?Connor thought maliciously.

"Of course Dumbledore is eligible. Dumbledore is indeed qualified to inherit the treasures of Hogwarts." The Sorting Hat said one thing.

"Huh? So Headmaster Dumbledore got the Hogwarts treasure?"

"That's not true. Dumbledore didn't find the treasure. He doesn't seem to be interested in what I said..." The Sorting Hat's tone seemed a little unhappy.

"Um, so the qualified ones just have the qualifications. If you want to get the treasure, do you have to find it yourself?" Fuck, I was so happy, I thought I heard some big secret.

"Of course, there will be a few students like you who are suitable for the four colleges every few years. It's a pity that they all left the school before they have great strength. Like Dumbledore, you don't really believe my words." The resentment in the Sorting Hat's words seemed to deepen.

Hehehe, Connor pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled dryly. In fact, I don't really believe what you said. If I didn't have nothing to do, I wouldn't want to chat with you: "Then...do you know where these treasures are?"

"I do not know."

"..."

The Sorting Hat also seemed to feel that it was a bit embarrassing to say so, and it quickly added: "Actually, I probably know where one is! The four founders left me hints! This is only after the qualified people have strong strength. Will tell them!"

Under Connor's skeptical gaze, the Sorting Hat sang loudly: "Gryffindor favors the indomitable. Cowardly and cowardly are not Gryffindors; Slytherin grows himself in the secret room, and foresight is for Slytherin ;the climb……"

"Wait, wait!!" Connor quickly interrupted the behavior of the sorting hat, he said: "Didn't you sing this song when the school started?"

The interrupted Sorting Hat said a little unhappy, "Yes."

"??? Then you say this is a hint?"

"That's right, that's the hint. Look at how obvious the hint is. I can guarantee with my head that Slytherin's treasure is in his secret room..."

"No... so this reminds you that you sang it like this at the beginning? No, you can only know it after the qualified people are strong?"

"Dumbledore was there at the time! I sang it to him!" The Sorting Hat said with a bit of embarrassment like a child who was found lazy and didn't finish his homework, "And it's been more than 1000 years, and no one I have found their treasure, and I have no problem saying it!"

"..." Well, you are old, you are awesome, you are right, but when it comes to the Chamber of Secrets, Connor's interest has been aroused again, this is a real place, "So Hogwarts There are four copies of your treasure?"

"No, there is only one Hogwarts treasure, but you need to be recognized by the four founders to get the treasure. Maybe you can treat it as having five treasures. As far as I know about them, once you get their recognition , you will get a lot of benefits.”

"Oh, that sounds interesting."

"Really! Do you want to get these treasures? Listen to me, go find them, boy! The founders have already put all the treasures there!" the Sorting Hat said excitedly.

Connor was sweating, you are the legendary branch. D. hat?Connor was about to say something more, but the door behind him suddenly opened.

Connor turned around, and it was Dumbledore who walked in. He smiled and said, "I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long, Connor, the Sorting Hat entertained my guests for me? It looks like you guys had a good chat."

"Hello, professor, I was just listening to the Sorting Hat talk about the treasures of Hogwarts." Connor replied obediently.

"Oh, so you are still a qualified person, right? This is a great honor." Dumbledore walked over and sat back on the chair behind the big table, waved his hand again, and a chair flew to Connor In front of him, he said: "Sit down, Connor, as far as I know, most of the previous headmasters of Hogwarts are qualified candidates in the Sorting Hat. Maybe you will become the headmaster of Hogwarts in the future."

"But you never looked for the treasure! What I said is true! You don't believe me!" the Sorting Hat shouted loudly.

Dumbledore shrugged helplessly at Connor: "I think this school is the best treasure left by the four founders, isn't it?"

Connor sat down slowly, noncommittal. In fact, he was quite concerned about what the Sorting Hat said. After all, it mentioned the Chamber of Secrets. If it was any other Connor would think that the Sorting Hat was bragging, but the Chamber of Secrets really exists. Maybe Harry didn't check the Chamber of Secrets at all, and there might be something big to eat in it.

It's a pity that Connor doesn't know Parseltongue, otherwise he wants to sneak away to find out what's going on now. Should he use a lollipop to trick Harry into opening a back door for himself?Abducting a little friend into the women's bathroom sounds irritating. Ahem, anyway, it's ok to find out when the time comes.

At this moment, Dumbledore took out a pile of cockroaches from under his table, and a large pile of cockroach-like candies crawled around on the table. He said, "Want to eat some? This pile of cockroaches is very sweet. "

Connor kept an embarrassed yet polite smile, silently picked up one, bit down, and found that it was quite crisp: "Thank you, Professor, it tastes good."

Dumbledore smiled happily: "That's right, it's been a long time since anyone shared the delicacy of the cockroach pile with me, and people don't seem to like eating sweets very much."

Connor has been silently observing the greatest white wizard in the world, trying to see something, but unfortunately Connor only saw a very ordinary old man, a very kind old urchin.

After eating a few cockroaches, Dumbledore seemed to have finally remembered the business. He said, "By the way, Connor, I don't think you have forgotten the commission to draw a picture for me, the old man."

"Of course not, Professor. It's just that I've been busy recently so I didn't come to bother you." Shameless old man, if I didn't fly into the arena today, you would have definitely forgotten me!
"Oh, I can see that you have made great progress in the past two months." Dumbledore leaned forward slightly, his eyes looked over the half-moon glasses to Connor's eyes, this old man wants to use Legilimency again!It really is a perverted voyeur!Connor activated Occlumency, stuffing some uneasy feelings and what he ate at dinner tonight into the pseudo-consciousness space, trying to get away with it.

In fact, Occlumency works very well, and simple Legilimency cannot see Connor's true thoughts.

Dumbledore quickly smacked his lips, looked away, and said nonchalantly, "Connor, you are very talented. I haven't seen such an outstanding little wizard like you for a long time. The last time I saw you was 50 years ago." forward"

Dumbledore paused, changed the subject, and said, "Don't be too nervous, I called you here just to chat briefly, we need to understand more, don't we?"

"Yes, professor, I'm actually not too nervous, I'm still thinking about the treasure of the Sorting Hat." Connor pretended to be relieved, scratching his head and said.

"Well, that's an interesting story indeed."

"Hey! Dumbledore! That's not a story! It's all true!" the Sorting Hat yelled.

"No! You are a liar!" A stinking voice sounded, and Connor turned his head to look, it was a portrait, and Connor saw the name of the owner of the portrait under the frame—"Phineas Nigel Black (1847-1926) "The ancestor of Sirius?
"I just listened to your nonsense! I paid for the overhaul of Hogwarts' underground pipes! I went to find the secret room you said! As a result! I turned the castle upside down! I found nothing! I lost money for it A lot of money!" The old headmaster growled angrily at the Sorting Hat as if he had just woken up from pretending to sleep, or recalled a bad memory.

"You are not qualified." The Sorting Hat's tone seemed to be three points weaker: "Just because you didn't find it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"Okay, okay, Phineas." Dumbledore stopped the old headmaster who wanted to continue arguing, turned his head and said to Connor, "Of course I hope my students will be adventurous, but I don't want them to be reckless. Put yourself in danger, no matter whether the legend of the chamber of secrets is true or not, I don't want you to take the initiative to explore its secrets before you have enough strength."

"Uh, of course, of course, I obey the school rules." Connor scratched his head and stuck out his tongue lightly, trying to pass the test. Connor knew very well that Dumbledore hadn't used Legilimency just now, but he could see It turned out that it was the old fox, he could guess so accurately without magic, and he really couldn't let his guard down when dealing with old Dengtou.

Afterwards, Connor and Dumbledore bragged for half an hour, bragging each other in business throughout the whole process, and finally made an agreement with Dumbledore to come to the office for tea every two weeks, and the old Deng let Connor leave.

On the way back to the dormitory, Connor couldn't help sighing: Dealing with foxes is really tiring, let's have fun with the little kids.
