Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 84 Professor Nott's Invitation 2.0
Hogwarts, as the only school of magic in the British wizarding world, is the focus of wizards' attention regardless of whether there is any disturbance, let alone such a big thing that happened
The next morning, it rained owls in the auditorium, and letters from parents filled the auditorium floor.

Naturally, Connor also received letters from his grandfather and Flora. The letters probably asked about Connor's situation, and then there were some homely instructions, such as studying hard and being happy every day.

They still don't know that what happened last night was caused by Connor.

After reading it, Connor folded the letter and put it away, then wrote a reply and stuffed it on the owl who was held by the twins and refused to leave.

After watching the aggrieved owl fly away, Connor picked up today's Daily Prophet.

That's right, what happened last night has been published in the newspaper. It is estimated that most of the parents of the students wrote to ask after reading the report.

The headline on the front page of the report was "Giant Colosseum Surprised at Hogwarts at Midnight", Connor glanced at it briefly, and just briefly introduced what happened last night, but in fact they didn't know anything at all.

"Follow-up reports will follow up after the interview with Headmaster Albus Dumbledore..." That's what it says, and this is indeed a fake "Prophet" daily.

The only bright spot is that there is a dynamic GIF, which shows the arena hidden under the smoke. From this angle, it can be seen that it was taken in the direction of the Gryffindor Tower.

Apparently, Gryffindor has newspaper insiders, or students who want to make extra money?

None of this has anything to do with Connor for the time being. Connor believes that Dumbledore will take care of all this. What Connor needs to consider now is how to arrange his future study plan.

Suddenly obtained the knowledge of a library, Connor needs to re-plan what to learn and how to learn.

For example, do you want to practice swords or something...

Don't look at Connor beheading Voldemort's head handsomely at that time, you think Connor will use a sword.

In fact, that was because when Connor picked up the sword, the enemy could no longer move, and could only stand there and slash for Connor.

That's why Gryffindor said that this test is not difficult. If Connor had pulled out his sword immediately, there would be no fighting at all...

"Let me tell you, that sword is really handsome. When I hold it, I feel like an invincible general!"

"Cool! Hurry up to the base later, I can't wait to touch the sword!"

Connor glanced to the side and listened excitedly to Roger's bragging gang of four. It was a little hard to understand, it was just a sword, and he didn't know what they were excited about.

Connor had collude with the twins for the line, the script was that they accidentally found the Gryffindor treasure last night, and the rest, if Lee and Roger didn't ask, they wouldn't say anything.

Obviously, people tend to care more about the outcome of things than the process. Li and Roger only cared about playing with swords, and didn't ask about the process of being taken by Connor Chunqiu's brushwork.

Sure enough, the little kid is so confused...

"By the way, Connor, you said that the secret passage you found is in the safe house? Why didn't we find it before?" Roger asked suddenly.

"Right? Why didn't we find out before?" Li also asked in response.

"..." Connor felt that he should stop planting flags indiscriminately in the future, and indeed, Gryffindor was more innocent, cute and likable.

"Actually, the secret passage can't be found now. The secret passage is where we go down to the lion stone sculpture... After we found the treasure, the secret passage disappeared." Connor tried to get away with it.

"Oh, that's it." x2
Before the two of them noticed the difference between "I can't find it now" and "I couldn't find it before", Connor quickly changed the subject: "Roger, you guys go to the base first."

"Ok?"

"I'm going to find Professor Knott."

"Eh? Oh, we got it." The four of them took it for granted that Connor would look for Professor Nott every week, but they didn't know that Connor had completed Professor Nott's commission and hadn't gone to see Nott for a long time. professor.

"Why are you stretching out your hands?" Connor looked at the hands that several people stretched out to him at the same time, and asked suspiciously.

"Sword? We want a sword." Several people said in unison.

"No, that sword is too sharp. I don't feel comfortable giving it to you. Let's talk about it when I come back." Connor directly refused. It is not an exaggeration to say that Gryffindor's sword can cut iron like mud. A hot-blooded teenager is not safe at all.

"Hey, why is this?" x4
……

Connor came to Professor Nott's office with ease.

Connor didn't know why Professor Nott was looking for him. After the magic painting was completed, Connor was dissatisfied with how his first work was treated like this.

Even the relationship with Professor Nott has froze a lot. After that, Professor Nott didn't take the initiative to find him again, and even sent him the double-sided mirror magic pattern by owl express.

And at this time, Professor Nott suddenly invited him personally, and Connor couldn't imagine why...

With such doubts, Connor knocked on the office door.

"Connor? Come in." Professor Nott's voice came from inside.

Connor didn't hesitate, and pushed open the door directly, and then saw Professor Nott standing by the window with his back to him, and an oil painting leaning on his desk - "Spring at Hogwarts Castle" .

In the oil painting, a head suddenly popped out from the edge of the picture frame. It was the protagonist of the painting, Miss Mandy Miller.

Miss Mandy waved her hand and greeted Connor with a bright smile: "Hello, Connor."

Looks like Professor Knott mentioned himself to her?

"Hello, Miss Mandy." Connor also waved.

"Here you are, Connor." Professor Nott turned around and said with a smile.

Connor always felt that Professor Nott looked more haggard than last night.

"I'm sorry, but I'll trouble you to come here." Professor Nott gestured for Connor to sit down, and he also sat on the chair on the other side of Connor.

"Professor, there is nothing troublesome. Your place is the place I frequent most in school." Connor shrugged and sat down, and the automatic teapot on one side had already consciously flew up.

"Yeah, haha..." Professor Nott smiled, but looked a little absent-minded, and said, "Connor, you did a good job last night, very good...I'm proud of you..."

"It's all because of your guidance." Connor replied obediently. He had indeed learned a lot of fighting skills from Professor Nott. Without the accumulation of these learning experiences, Connor might have fallen from the very beginning.

"No, no, Connor, that is your battle, it has nothing to do with me...Connor, you are really very good...really...very good..." Professor Nott shook his head and said, his expression was a little erratic , Connor felt that his state was a bit strange.

"Connor..."

"Professor, I'm listening."

Professor Nott seemed to have finally come to his senses. This time he met Connor's gaze: "I asked you to come here because I actually wanted to confess something to you."

Speaking of this, he became dejected and depressed: "Some things are hidden in my heart for a long time, and they will turn into nightmares. I am very tired, Connor, I am really tired..."

Connor frowned, and looked at Professor Nott in puzzlement. In Connor's impression, Professor Nott was always an elegant and powerful wizard with a Slytherin-like aristocratic temperament. Professor Nott said it.

Professor Nott turned his head to look at Miss Mandy, and Miss Mandy smiled at him, as if comforting and encouraging.

"Connor, I'm a liar, a coward, and a... sinner."

Connor looked at Professor Nott, and Professor Nott looked at Connor.

His eyes... were full of guilt and pain.

Professor Nott avoided Connor's gaze, and he looked at Miss Mandy on the side again:

"I lied to you and asked you to draw her for me, just to satisfy my own selfish desires...I thought I would have a chance to truly have her this time...but I was wrong, it turned out that she had never loved from the very beginning I……"

"Professor Nott, this...!" Connor's eyes widened.

"Connor, she's Mandy Miller, but she got another surname later..." Professor Nott closed his eyes, trembling and speaking slowly:
"...Her name is Mandy Lake."

"She's your grandmother."
