Connor's Hogwarts

"..."

The air was deadly silent, as if a storm was brewing in the secret room.

After a long time, the man in black robe finally slowly raised the brim of his hat...

"It was discovered by you, where did you show your feet?"

It was his own brother Ivan who appeared in front of Connor!

If Ivan wasn't wearing a black cloak at this time, and he was a little shorter than Connor, the two brothers confronted each other as if they were looking in a mirror.

"...I have a map that shows the distribution of people in the castle...but I didn't see your name on it tonight."

Connor's tone was very calm, perhaps because he had been mentally prepared for a long time, or because he hadn't thought about how to face the situation in front of him at all. He put down his wand and tried to chat with Ivan as usual.

"I think so. I didn't expect you to go back to school tonight. Connor, aren't you spending Christmas with your mother and the others?" Ivan reached out and scratched his head, with a smile on his face. He looked like the one before. My younger brother who is always shy in front of me is no different...

"Connor, why did you suddenly return to school? It shouldn't have been like this. All the plans were messed up. If I had known better, I wouldn't have let Bethri catch Harry and the others..."

Ivan read in bits and pieces, looking normal, but also a little sick.

Connor looked at Ivan in front of him, as if he saw the kid who always liked to follow his ass as a follower when he was a child. Memories flashed in his mind, and then Connor's eyes diverged, and he murmured:

"Actually, I should have thought of it earlier..."

"This was not the original plan, Connor, listen to me..."

"I should have thought of it earlier. After all, the biggest [variable] in this world, besides me, is you, Ivan. Only we, the two biggest butterflies, can make this 'plot' completely different..."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Don't you want to know what I have done, Connor? You listen to me first..."

"But I subconsciously don't want to doubt you, Yiwen. After all, you are my younger brother. I thought I taught you well since I was a child. You would never do such a thing—"

"Connor Connor Connor look at me! Connor—! Listen to me—!"

The fiery red light shot towards Connor, but Connor himself seemed to be distracted and didn't react at all. Of course, the attack did not hit, and a translucent circle was formed centered on Artoria's great sword. The barrier blocked Ivan's spell.

Connor's eyes regained focus, and he looked at Ivan who was panting heavily opposite him, and asked, "Ivan, are you mad at me? Why?"

"------"

The air became quiet again, and only Ivan's heavy breathing was left in the secret room. Seeing that Ivan hadn't responded for a long time, Connor's thoughts began to diverge again.

He's a little lost now.

In fact, from the moment he couldn't see Ivan's name on the Marauder's Map, Connor was in a bad mood, because he faintly sensed that the person behind the scenes might be his younger brother.

But after all, he had some fantasy and didn't want to believe it, so he didn't even think about notifying Dumbledore, but planned to solve the matter by himself.

Until now, Yiwen has directly admitted his identity.

This made Connor figure out a lot of things, and also caused more doubts - because he really didn't understand why Evan would do this.

Yiwen was brought up by himself since he was a child. It is not too much to say that an elder brother is like a father. Yiwen has been a very obedient child since he was a child. Since when did he suddenly go astray?

Why is Ivan the "mastermind behind the scenes"?Is there something wrong with my education?Why does Ivan seem to have such a strong opinion of himself?Was it Voldemort who bewitched Ivan?But Ivan didn't seem to be under control at all, or did he inadvertently hurt his younger brother?It shouldn't be, Connor thinks he is a very good big brother...

Could it be...did I do something wrong?

All kinds of messy thoughts flitted through his mind, and Connor didn't want to believe that such a "bloody" plot would happen to him, yes, it shouldn't be like this.

Connor hates things that develop out of his control, but what happens this semester is always beyond his expectation, and now he knows that the "culprit" who caused all this is actually his younger brother who has been living under his nose. And I didn't realize it before tonight...

Connor's mood at the moment was very complicated, and he was even too tired to think about it, so he turned his eyes to Ivan, hoping to get an answer.

"...Angry? No, how can I be angry? Connor, you have never done anything wrong, how can I be angry? What right do I have to be angry? I'm sorry, I shouldn't yell at you, I'm sorry, I don't I should have attacked you, I'm sorry..."

Ivan lowered his head, trembling all over while muttering.

"Evan...you..." Connor frowned. Evan's mental state seemed abnormal, and he was a little worried.

"call--"

Suddenly, Ivan stopped trembling. He took a deep breath and raised his head. There seemed to be red eyes in his eyes, and he stared at Connor:

"Connor, actually I am a Parselmouth. I opened the Chamber of Secrets with my own hands. I did all the bad things in the school. I destroyed your magic painting and framed you and Harry...I Admit all my crimes, and I don't intend to stop there—"

Ivan raised his wand and shouted: "I still want to beat you here! All my arrangements are for now, even if you didn't come here today by accident, I will find an opportunity to initiate a one-on-one with you!" What a challenge! Now it is just advancing the time! This is the test that Slytherin left for me, and I will definitely win the final victory!"

"Pull out your wand! Connor! I will duel with you!"

"..." Connor looked at Evan, lowered his eyes, and smiled softly: "Evan, are you challenging me?"

"That's right!" Ivan shouted loudly.

"You think you are my opponent?"

Ivan looked at the smiling Connor and subconsciously shrank his neck, but in the end he still shouted forcefully: "...I...I want to defeat you here!"

"I don't know how to put water."

"Just... just let the horse come over!" Yi Wen said in a stern tone.

"it is good..."

Connor strode forward, raised his wand, and dropped it.

"Protego (Armor Protection)!"

Ivan blocked Connor's silent spell attack, but before he could catch his breath, several bursts of red light followed.

"Protego!" "Finite!" "Protego!"

During several rounds, Ivan was pushed back step by step by Connor, and the little brother was helpless in Connor's hands.

"Relashio" Connor muttered a curse in a low voice. The curse hit Ivan at a weird angle and bounced him to the wall. Ivan fell down with a huff.

"Only to this extent?"

Ivan couldn't see Connor's face, but he seemed to hear strong contempt from this sentence.

"If that's the case, then Ivan, you are too stupid."

Ivan seemed to feel the disappointment-filled eyes on him, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "It's not over yet!"

Connor suddenly felt empty under his feet, and the floor beneath him disappeared, a trap.

His body fell suddenly, but it didn't help Connor. He controlled his body after only falling a few meters. When he returned to the ground again, he heard the familiar yet unfamiliar hiss of a snake.

"*****! 【Snake Language】"

Ivan retreated far away, and what appeared between him and Connor was a group of snakes of different sizes. Yes, Ivan seemed to be able to control the space here, and I don't know how he did it.

Connor still had time to think about it, but the group of snakes seemed to have received an order, and a large group of snakes catapulted towards Connor, and the group of snakes rushing towards him felt overwhelming.

But of course the little snake couldn't scare Connor, he raised his wand and whispered: "Protego."

Different from the small air shield formed by Ivan, a three-dimensional cylindrical light-colored air wall formed around Connor, and the little snakes knocked him unconscious before reaching Connor's side.

"That's it?" Connor smiled contemptuously, and then was stunned, because Ivan suddenly disappeared in front of him. He was looking for someone when he suddenly noticed that the snakes seemed to spit something out of their mouths...

That's...a scroll?

"boom--!!!"

The gravel in the secret room rolled, and a violent explosion submerged Connor.
