Connor's Hogwarts

"Connor? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just felt like someone was discussing me behind my back."

"It would be strange for you not to discuss it. Sorry, Connor, if you care about those people's eyes, how about... let's go back this time. Let's see it together next time."

"No, no, I really don't care."

Connor smiled and patted Alice on the head, and the two continued walking towards the Quidditch pitch.

To be honest, Connor hasn't found the "right" way to get along with Alice yet.

How should I put it? Although the two are nominally boyfriend and girlfriend (actually they should be), when he is with Alice, Connor does not have the "heart pounding" that he imagined when he was in love. Feel.

But if Connor has any objections to Alice, it doesn't happen. Alice is not as "clingy" as when she was pursuing Connor before. Instead, she leaves a lot of personal space for each of them. The two of them usually Everyone is busy with their own affairs, and Connor doesn't dislike this way of getting along.

Connor himself felt a little guilty because he rarely spent time with Alice, so he invited Alice to watch the Quidditch match together to fulfill his obligations as a boyfriend.

But it seems that Alice doesn't care much about Connor not having time to spend with her.

"Connor, 70% to 80% of the [mission] you assigned to the brothers has been completed. We have eliminated most of them. I believe the results will come out soon. You will never have to suffer this injustice again. It's wronged!" Alice hugged Connor's arm and said proudly as if taking credit.

"Ah, yes, that's good."

"Humph! After all, it is the fraternity we established together. Its energy and effect will become more and more powerful in the future!" Alice proudly patted her empty chest.

"I think so too."

Alice talked endlessly about her recent work and achievements with Connor, while Connor listened quietly and chimed in a few words from time to time. The atmosphere between the two seemed good.

Connor looked at Alice who was smiling happily beside him, but his thoughts slowly drifted away.

Because he had always been focused on magic research and Dumbledore's future plans, now Connor has been temporarily placed aside by Dumbledore, and he is forced to worry about the love of his son and daughter for various reasons. Connor rarely has the energy to focus on Put it on other things - such as the girl in front of you.

Connor thought he was quite familiar with Alice. She was a wealthy daughter of a prominent family. She had been arrogant and a bit petulant since she was a child. Although her outlook on life was relatively normal, it was probably influenced by her family environment. Alice was the kind of person who was very good at showing off her abilities. A careerist who has his own advantages and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Alice is a "Slytherin"--or so.

In fact, with Alice's huge family power and her outstanding abilities, she can walk sideways in Hogwarts. If there is no "Connor of the Lake family" in Hogwarts, Alice will probably live a "wanted" life. The aristocratic campus life of "you can get whatever you want."

After all, in terms of status, the only student in school that Alice had no control over was Connor.

Alice, this girl, actually has extremely high standards, and even a high-quality man like Cedric is completely looked down upon. Connor often thinks that if Alice hadn't met him, according to the original world line, in Growing up in that kind of "invincible" environment, she would most likely become a person with a very bad personality.

Having said that, Connor is a little unsure now. Whether Alice really likes herself or whether she likes the symbol of "Connor, the best among his peers". Perhaps it is because he was once her "want but can't have" symbol. "To" thing, is that why she has a pathological obsession with herself?

Otherwise, I can't explain why Alice became less enthusiastic after I was with her. Could it be that this is the legendary "what you can't get is the best"? Connor's thoughts wandered further and further.

"Connor? What are you thinking about? We're here." Alice waved her little hand in front of Connor's eyes.

"It's nothing, let's go, let's find a better seat to watch the game." Connor came back to his senses and grabbed Alice's flailing little hand.

"Hmm, let's go to the one next to the Slytherin stand. I don't want to be seen as not cheering for my college team." Alice stuck out her tongue and said.

Connor led Alice to a stand and sat in the highest seat in the back row, just in time to see the lively Gryffindor holding red flags and banners opposite and cheering loudly.

"Connor, who do you like more in this game?"

"Gryffindor, I think they will win."

Alice pursed her lips: "Don't put it so bluntly. I am a Slytherin after all. The Malfoy brats have put new brooms on the team. It would be too embarrassing if we still lose like this." .”

"Don't you always pay much attention to Quidditch?"

"But if the team loses face, the whole college will have a hard time."

"That's right. Then I have to play more seriously in the next game. The whole team has new brooms and we can't lose."

"Connor, you are so bad, but I like it."

The atmosphere in the auditorium gradually became warmer, and soon the players from both teams took the field. After the loud and clear whistle of Peeves Pepper, the "team girl", the game began amidst the hustle and bustle.

"Ah, it looks like it's going to rain."

Not long after the game started, the sky started to get dark and it seemed that today's game would be played in heavy rain.

"This is not good news." Connor shook his head. He took out his wand and held up the magic umbrella. There was no rain shelter in the open-air auditorium.

"I feel pretty good~ Connor, don't you think it's very romantic for us to sit together under an umbrella in a thunderstorm?" Alice hugged Connor's arm tightly and smiled happily.

"Maybe." Connor shrugged, and once again turned his attention to the competitors who were soaked in water. He happened to see Harry dodging the impact of a Bludger in a bit of embarrassment. Surprisingly, the Bludger was a He turned sharply and crashed into Harry again.

"Huh? That Harry Potter seems a little unlucky. Was he targeted by the Bludger?" Alice also saw this scene and covered her mouth and laughed softly. Of course, she still hoped that her college would win.

"Ah, there seems to be something wrong with that ball."

Connor narrowed his eyes and finally remembered this incident. The ball was enchanted by Dobby, the elf of the Malfoy family. It seemed that it was to injure Harry so seriously that he would have to leave school and knock him out of the Hall. Here comes Gwartz

Connor has been so busy recently that Connor had forgotten about this matter. After all, it was not very important and would not affect him. However, Dobby, who had been threatened by Connor, actually dared to come and "warn" Harry. It seems that he really loves Harry

But Dobby's little thing has no value to him anymore. He doesn't know who has the diary, so why don't he just leave it alone?

Just when Connor was thinking about how to deal with the troublesome elf, there was a sudden noise in the crowd, and Connor subconsciously looked up.

At this time, Harry, who was sitting on the broom in the sky, had become the focus of everyone, because on the speeding broomstick, Harry's right hand lit up with a blazing "flame"!

Red "flames" wrapped around Harry's right hand, making his fist seem to be on fire. Harry's eyes were fixed on the Bludger that hit him again, and then he pushed the broom with all his strength, heading towards Hit the bludger head-on!

When the Bludger was about to collide with Harry, Harry roared angrily, and then he raised his fist high - "Bang"!

The black Bludger collided with Harry's fist. The ball was dyed with Harry's color. It turned sharply at 90 degrees and turned into a red meteor at a speed several times faster than before, heading straight towards The grass below fell and then collided with the ground. The Bludger sank deeply into the grass and became motionless.

"."

All the little wizards, including the professors, were stunned by the scene before them, especially Malfoy, who was flying in front of Harry. He saw Harry's arm hanging limply on one side, obviously broken and broken... He was so shocked that he was speechless when he had an expressionless face, as if he didn't care about his injured hand at all.

"Connor? Then... what is that?!" Alice in the audience covered her mouth in surprise, pulled on Connor's sleeve and asked.

"." Connor looked at the transparent umbrella rising from the top of his wand, then looked at Harry's limp arm hanging aside in the air, and clicked his tongue: "That red one seems to be magic power."

In the silence, Harry moved. He raised his right hand that looked a little crooked. In his hand was the golden snitch with fluttering wings.

Then, the stadium boiled.
