Connor's Hogwarts

At the same time as Helen's announcement fell, in the basement of Hogwarts' newly built competition hall, in a room not open to the public, a man with a bright smile also put down his hands at the same time, and a clear sound suddenly sounded in the room. The applause and the light became brighter.

"As expected of Professor Lockhart, the performance is very good. I have more confidence in you." Connor applauded and walked out from the side, followed by the little secretary Penello.

Lockhart showed an expression that didn't tell if he was crying or laughing, and twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly: "Connor, to be honest, it does feel a bit...weird for me to play Helen..."

That's right, the Helen who appeared on the billboard in Diagon Alley was actually secretly controlled by Lockhart. Connor used special techniques to synchronize their movements, expressions and sounds, creating the wizarding world's first "virtual" "Idol" [Helen], and Lockhart is Helen's "one among them".

This is also the contract signed by Connor and Lockhart. The Lake family will keep Lockhart from Dumbledore after this semester, but Lockhart will serve the Lake family for ten years.

Now Lockhart is on probation. Connor promised to leave Lockhart with a position as a general in Lake Media Department after the probation period, with favorable treatment and high authority. To gain a new life, you still need to pay a small price...

"Professor, this is just the beginning. Did you hear the cries of the audience just now? This is not much more powerful than the popular writers you used to do in a small way. Believe me, [Helen] will definitely become a miracle. Even if it causes another Trojan War, I won’t be surprised, do your best, I’m very optimistic about you!”

Connor gave Lockhart a thumbs-up gesture and opened his mouth to draw a pie.

Lockhart is very good at packaging himself. Making others like him is as easy as eating and drinking. As a competent actor and memory master, what he can see most clearly is the human heart.

When he was a best-selling author, he could make women crazy about him. When he was appointed to become a professor, he could make people hate him without revealing any flaws. When others thought he was a clown, in fact, in his eyes, those who were being teased by him were People are as pitiful as clowns. He is good at playing with people's hearts and enjoys it.

Being forced to "play" a woman at this time, although Lockhart instinctively felt a little uncomfortable and awkward, looking at the group of wizards who were crazy about "himself" on the screen, he actually felt some kind of morbid pleasure deep in his heart. , this job... unexpectedly suits me very well...

"Ahem, I think this is all because the Helen you painted, Connor, is so beautiful. I think it's hard for anyone not to be moved, right? If I hadn't seen the original painting with my own eyes, I think I would have fallen in love with her."

Connor was not modest at all: "Of course! Helen is the [perfect human] that I calculated using big data and arithmetic divination. Whether it is appearance features or body proportions, they are all... Ouch! Penello, pinch me What am I doing?"

"Yes...I'm sorry!" Penello blushed and lowered her head silently, not daring to look at Connor. She just couldn't hold back and subconsciously moved her hands. As a secretary, she actually pinched her boss's waist. It was really unruly. ...But when these two men are talking, can they be considerate of the fact that there is a lady standing next to them? !

"Ahem, I'm going to give my next speech soon. Connor, do you... still want to attend?" Lockhart pointed to the "filming equipment" next to him. Eight o'clock is actually only the Diagon Alley in London. Press conference, in fact, Lockhart will also connect to Lake experience stores in other countries to give more than ten different speeches. This is Lockhart’s first job during his probation period. He really felt that Connor’s love for him "attention".

But although Lockhart didn't mind anyone being present, having two students watch him "live"... was still quite embarrassing. He actually still needed a period of adaptation.

Connor nodded empathetically and said, "I feel at ease with Professor Lockhart's work. I believe he will not disappoint me. Professor, you can use this room as you wish. We still have things to deal with, so I won't disturb you further." "

With that, Connor and Penello left the room.

This is the basement of the newly built competition hall in Hogwarts. In fact, it did not take several wizards a week to build this relatively small basement. The reason why it took so long to build is actually because there is a lot of space underneath this basement. ...There is something else.

Connor and Penello walked deeper into the basement and stopped only when they reached the end of the road.

"Penello?"

"Ah! I'm here!" Penello seemed a little distracted just now. After being reminded by Connor, he hurriedly took out a sapphire and stuffed it into the mouth of a lion holding a torch on the wall.

The gem disappeared and the magic mechanism was activated. Connor and Penello walked straight through the stone wall and came out to another world.

There is still a long corridor in front of us, but it has changed from a dark classical magical style to a bright luxurious aristocratic style. The simple stone brick walls have become palace walls covered with murals, and the monotonous candle lighting has also become The exquisite magic lamp, this style of painting is suddenly different.

Penello turned around and took out the gem from the eagle ring on the wall, and quickly followed Connor, nodding to the paintings on the wall along the way. She knew that the paintings here were all "living"...

The two of them walked through the long corridor and passed many rooms. They also met several maids during the process. However, those maids were all housekeeping demons. No one thought that Connor was secretly working in Hogwarts in the name of building a competition hall. A small "palace" was built below!Although... this was done with Dumbledore's permission...

The two arrived at their destination quickly. Penello quickly stepped forward and opened the door. The two walked into a huge room. Dozens of housekeeping dolls were working together. They were working together to assemble some kind of large-scale housekeeping doll. In addition to the magical "machine", there is another "person" in this room - the ghost of Gryffindor, Nicholas de Mimcy, also known as Sir Nico the Nearly Headless.

What is being built here is a place conceived by Connor to hide the "core technology" of the Lake family - [Ghost Factory].

In the future, this will be the main base for the production of magic pens and magic stones. No one would have thought that the Lake family would build their factory here, "the safest place in the world", Hogwarts.

"Sir Nico, how does your new body feel? Are you still getting used to it?" Connor smiled and greeted the flesh-and-blood man in front of him.

The man suddenly looked back (his head was not thrown away), and he smiled brightly: "Oh! Connor, you are here! And Miss Crevat! It is difficult for me to describe my excitement in words! If you must If I had to use one word to describe my mood, I can only say..."

"Excellent!"
