Connor's Hogwarts

"Where did Connor go? Why did he suddenly disappear?"

"This is the first time I have encountered such a thing in school. What did the principal say?"

"Professor Dumbledore said that Connor asked for leave, but how is this possible? He was fine yesterday, but such a big man disappeared without a word. Is this normal?"

"We have to go to the principal and ask for an explanation. The school board will never allow this to happen."

"That's right, let's put our family together to put pressure on the school. Even Professor Dumbledore must give us an explanation."

The Room of Requirement, the round table meeting room, and the members of the fraternity gathered together, but at this moment, the harmony of the past is completely gone, and it is as noisy as a vegetable market.

Connor didn't show up all day today. During dinner, Dumbledore, who was rarely seen, suddenly came out to inform a student that he had "asked for leave".

Maybe ordinary students think this is a small thing, but in the eyes of fraternity friends, it is a big thing.

The members of the fraternity realized that something was wrong and spontaneously called an emergency meeting of the fraternity.

It was the first time the fraternity held a meeting without Connor present, and things seemed a little chaotic for a while.

If we continue arguing like this, there will definitely be no results...

"Everyone be quiet"

Alice slapped the table violently, trying to stop the messy scene, and dozens of eyes looked at Alice who stood up at the same time.

Alice took a deep breath and said slowly: "Everyone, please calm down. I know everyone is worried about Connor, but there is no use in arguing like this..."

"Alice, you are the first people to find out that Connor is missing. Do you know anything else?" Jacob, the student council president of the school, asked.

Alice frowned, a little unhappy that her words were suddenly interrupted, but she shook her head and answered truthfully: "We found out that Connor was missing this morning. After that, a few of us searched all over the castle. Connor was not found in the secret passage, and he asked Principal Dumbledore, but he only got a reply that Connor had taken a few days off..."

"Since you discovered this situation this morning, why didn't you tell us about it as soon as possible?"

"If this matter had been told to us as soon as possible, we might have discussed a solution long ago, and we wouldn't be gathering here to argue pointlessly now..."

"Do you really understand the seriousness of the matter? Connor's disappearance is not a small matter."

"As expected, without Connor here, you guys in the lower grades are unreliable..."

Several senior seniors raised questions one after another, and the ones who spoke were all "elite wizards" from those big families.

They are indeed worried about Connor's safety, because their family has close contacts with the Lake family. Connor's disappearance is very urgent for them and the family behind them, and needs to be dealt with without delay. Top priority.

Although the members of the fraternity are all "passed" little wizards, it doesn't mean that their motives for joining the fraternity are as "pure" as Fred's. Compared with the somewhat inexplicable "creed", they value brothers The "benefits" that can be brought to them.

Although young wizards generally don't value profit when interacting, these young wizards from big families, under the influence of their families, instinctively feel that the Brotherhood is a "organization" that is still very weak, but will inevitably grow into a giant.

They all want to gain a little say in the Brotherhood. This phenomenon was not obvious when Connor was there before, but now that Connor is not there, this situation is inevitable.

Connor's ability, strength, and background are all so strong that these little wizards have no idea of ​​fighting.

So even if Connor doesn't take care of things, no one will bring trouble to question his decisions and organizational appointments.

Except for Connor, no one can convince this group of proud children.

The dragons have no leader, and they don't know whether it is good or bad.

Alice gritted her teeth secretly, you bastards, if you are really worried about whether Connor will find out that he is missing, what are you doing here in hindsight? Why don't you stand up and speak if you are not convinced that you are the "vice president"? What a failure

"Hey guys, we are all busy looking for Connor today. We don't have time to notify everyone one by one. Besides, we didn't confirm that Connor was really missing. Who knew at the time whether it was a misunderstanding or not? In any sense," Fred said, patting the table.

"Everyone, stop arguing. The most important thing now is to find out what happened, instead of arguing meaninglessly here." Cedric reconciled.

These friends at the same level as Connor are the "cabinet" of the fraternity. In fact, some small groups have formed in the fraternity. Although they may not realize it themselves, they will still take the initiative to protect "our own people" .

Without Connor, some problems in the fraternity that had not been discovered have been exposed. If you want to keep this society healthy and not become a real "brotherhood", there is still a long way to go.

After several discussions, everyone calmed down and began to discuss issues.

"So there is no news at all about whether Connor is really missing?" Wood asked the question that most people had.

Penello said: "Yes, we have asked everyone we can, but we haven't gotten any useful information. Moreover, Connor's brother doesn't know about Connor's leave. There were people in the castle last night. to Connor, so this is definitely not something that can be explained by taking a leave of absence.”

"Conan and Saber, don't they know where Connor is?"

"He Conan refused to say"

"..." Everyone looked at the picture frame on the wall at the same time, where Conan with dead fish eyes was waiting.

"Don't look at me like this. Without Connor's permission, you can't get any information about him from me..." Conan in the painting shrugged:

"This is the rule Connor has set for me. I cannot violate it. What happened to Connor is naturally not within the scope of the available information."

"Can't we even say where Connor is now and whether he is safe?"

"Sorry, I can't say." Conan strictly followed the order.

""

"You didn't say it, and Professor Dumbledore didn't say it either. Isn't that embarrassing?" Roger slammed the table angrily. As a good gay and roommate, Roger was one of the people who was most worried about Connor. , he was not even in the mood to attend class today, which was a first for Roger, who loved learning.

"Calm down, everyone. Doesn't this situation mean that Connor is still safe? If something really happens, I don't think Principal Dumbledore will hide it from us." He hasn't appeared in a long time and has been silent. Emily said calmly.

Although they knew that this was an optimistic guess, the little wizards of the fraternity still breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what their mood was, everyone sitting here was really worried about Connor.

"Don't you want to say it?" Everyone once again turned their attention to the picture frame on the other wall, but the picture frame was empty as usual.

Alice shook her head and said: "Leah Saber is missing like Connor. I can't find her, and there is no response to my calls."

Gorga asked Conan: "Then Saber's information cannot be disclosed?"

Conan thought for a while and said, "Saber is by Connor's side, so I can't say anything else."

""It makes a difference whether you said it or not.

Everyone in the fraternity couldn't help being discouraged again, and then an inexplicable depression arose, not for Connor, but for themselves.

Before that, they always thought that the fraternity was a very powerful organization, omnipotent and omnipotent in the school. They didn't say it on the surface, but they were secretly happy all the time.

But now they discovered that the strength of the Brotherhood was actually built on Connor, without Connor, they seemed to be unable to do anything.

To find Connor, and even rely on the help of Connor's own magic, a large group of people sitting here is useless.

The scene was a bit silent for a while. After a while, Jacob pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Let's analyze it together. What is certain now is that Connor is indeed missing. According to his character, if he is prepared in advance , he would definitely tell us what happened, but he didn’t.”

"This shows that Connor's disappearance was an accident. Professor Dumbledore was vague. This does not mean that there is no problem, but it proves that there may be a problem. If Connor really has nothing wrong, Professor Dumbledore may give us more clarity. information, rather than perfunctory us like now.”

"So I think Connor is in trouble. He may be in need of help, and we should try our best to find ways to help him. Whether it is as his friend or as a member of the fraternity, we are reasonable and reasonable. "It is our duty to do so."

"" Everyone was silent, they felt that Jacob was right, which was why they gathered together.

"So you all provide Connor's latest information, maybe you can analyze some clues."

"" Everyone was silent again, and many people even lowered their heads in shame. Everyone sitting here had been helped by Connor to a greater or lesser extent, but they didn't even know what Connor was busy with recently.

Connor is always like this. No matter what the problem is, it can be easily solved in his hands, so that the people who are helped feel as if they are just asking for a small favor. In fact, think about it seriously, in Connor's hands it is Things that are "easy to do" may actually be a big trouble in their hands.

But Connor always helped solve the problem so calmly. "The brotherhood of helping each other", they seemed to be the one who was always helped by Connor. Did they provide any help to Connor?

It doesn't seem to be. Even the materials that Connor asked them to collect before are still exchanged for real money, which is not a big help.

How could Connor, who seems so perfect, need any help?

They seem to have thought so.

Human beings always tend to ignore those good people, thinking that good people should do good things, and then accept the favors of others with peace of mind.

They were used to accepting Connor's help, but they never cared whether Connor needed their help. They didn't even pay attention to what Connor was doing usually, and they felt ashamed when they thought of this.

Connor has no pretensions. He is handsome, talkative and nice. Everyone likes to make friends with Connor, so they gather around him.

But it was only then that many young wizards present realized that they seemed to know too little about this "friend"

"I remember that Connor has been busy researching some magic with the professor recently." Fred and George said as they looked at each other.

Jacob and Gorga both nodded: "He also told us about this matter, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Connor's disappearance, but it's not necessarily. Write this down first, is there anything else?"

Penello said: "In addition to his spare time during school hours, Connor usually wakes up in the morning to practice magic near the greenhouse, goes to the Room of Requirement during lunch time, and after dinner, may go to Ravenclaw Tower to daze, just to think about problems. "

"Other than that, he usually goes to the professor's research room on the fourth floor. He occasionally handles some documents here at night. Oh, he also often goes to the library to check information recently. I don't know if it has anything to do with it."

"What information are you checking?"

"I only remember one book of History of Magic: Era, and I forgot the rest."

Alice thought hard for a long time before saying, "Connor has been painting recently."

“He doesn’t paint every day.”

"It's different this time. He refused to show us his paintings or tell us anything. It may have something to do with this matter."

"" Cedric then said: "Connor has been studying space magic recently, and he discussed this matter with me."

Roger added: "Connor often runs out of the dormitory in the middle of the night recently. This must be related to it."

After that, everyone talked about a lot of bits and pieces, most of which were fragments of information, and when put together, they only restored Connor's usual image, and it seemed that they were of no help and made no progress.

Just when everyone sighed in disappointment, a voice suddenly sounded

"Connor gets up around seven o'clock on weekdays and has breakfast at the Room of Requirement at 07:30. He likes to stay alone on the roof of Ravenclaw Tower during morning classes. After lunch, he will find a place to rest for half an hour. , after class in the afternoon, I would go to the Astronomy Tower to draw, or go to the laboratory, or go to the Room of Requirement to play the arcade for a while. In the evening, I usually stay in the library for two hours, and sit in the Ravenclaw lounge for a while around nine o'clock. Will return to the dormitory before 10:30”

Everyone cast surprised glances at Emily who was "singing" with a small book, and her face turned red, but she was still reading clearly:

"Connor recently wrote that he met Alice about 15 times a week, Penelo about 30 times, Cedric about 18 times, Fred 24 times and Lady Gray about 3 times in Ravenclaw Tower. We stopped about 11 times at the top, about 8 times at the Astronomical Tower, and about 21 times at the West Tower.”

When Emily finished reading from her little notebook, the whole audience was silent, staring at the red-faced girl in stunned silence, as if she was looking at something terrible.

Emily blushed and lowered her head and whispered: "These are part of my records. I hope they can be helpful."
