Connor's Hogwarts

()

() On the other side, Connor and Penello left the Ministry of Magic leisurely. Penello squeezed Connor's arm affectionately. The two looked like a couple going out on a date.

"Where are we going next?" Penello smiled happily: "I still want to hear your adventure story from last night."

Connor shrugged: "The next step... of course is to go to bed."

"Ah? Still... still sleeping, well, it's not impossible, in fact, I'm a little..."

"Wait, wait, wait," Connor looked at Penello's suddenly red face and said speechlessly: "I mean find a place to sleep, really sleep! I haven't slept in two days! There is something important tomorrow. I’m busy with things…”

"Oh, oh, that's true. You should take a good rest..."

Penello blushed even more, stuck out his tongue, and muttered: "Then shall we find a hotel now? Or go directly to my house..."

"No, no, no, I also have a house in London, just...uh..."

Connor suddenly stood where he was, with a strange expression on his face.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Penello followed Connor's gaze curiously, and then saw his own white car parked on the side of the road. There was a familiar figure standing beside the car. That person seemed to be... Connor's cousin?

!

Penello was taken aback, let go of Connor's arm guilty of guilt, and then came back to his senses, what was he afraid of?It's just a cousin of the cricket, no... nothing to be afraid of.

But Penello still didn't hold Connor's arm anymore.

Connor actually wanted to grab Penello and apparate and run away, but Blanche on the other side of the road had obviously found him, and his eyes were fixed on this side all the time, it was really impossible to hide past...

So Connor could only bite the bullet and greeted him, showing his usual "mature brother's smile", and led Penello to the little cousin.

"Hey, Blanche, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." Connor stepped forward and hugged Blanche, trying not to let himself go.

But Blanche just stared at Connor expressionlessly—the arm held by Penello just now, and said in the same cold tone as before:

"I was in the company just now, not far from here."

It probably means that she just happened to see Connor's strange car at the company, so she came here. Blanche's logic of speaking has always been different from ordinary people.

Before Connor continued to try to get away with it, Blanche pointedly pointed out Connor's luck: "Connor, are you dating?"

"...cough cough cough..." I'm really afraid of what will happen. Connor has told his family about "talking about friends" with Alice... Although... Connor really hasn't figured out how to deal with it. The relationship between two girls.

Connor broke into a cold sweat, laughed, and said casually: "Well, Penello and I are out on business. We just came out of the Ministry of Magic, so we are not dating."

Blanche looked directly at Connor →_→, without saying a word.

"..."

"..."

Penello put away the little disappointment in her heart and said hello awkwardly and stiffly: "Hello, Blanche..."

"... hello, Miss Clearwater."

Blanche said hello expressionlessly, but she didn't pay much attention to Penello. Instead, she turned to stare at Connor. Her eyes seemed to say, "Connor, I'm not happy. I have something to tell you." , please let this woman go away quickly].

The atmosphere at the scene was very awkward for a while, and Connor didn't know why he saw so much information from Blanche's eyes, but of course he couldn't just let Penello leave like this.

So facing the two girls with bright eyes beside him, Connor pointed to his car:

"Well, how about... let's get in the car and talk slowly?"

----

"When did Connor get a house in London?"

The three of them walked into a single-family villa on the outskirts of London. A devil maid who looked just like a real person was already waiting in the house.

Blanche looked at this well-decorated big house and asked Connor curiously.

"Ah, I asked Uncle Charles to help me buy it before so that I could have a place to stay in London. But I have only been here a few times and it hasn't been renovated yet. I'll just make do with it for now."

Connor went in and took off his jacket, took out a few magic cards and threw them up. The cards floated to the wall and stood up on their own in a sensible way. The big house soon magically warmed up.

Normally, Connor was a law-abiding student and would not use magic casually outside of school—of course, the main reason was that there was no wizarding area nearby, and the Ministry of Magic would come to him if he used magic. Connor didn't want to ask for trouble.

Blanche walked upstairs on her own. Connor directed the puppet to boil the water, and collapsed on the couch while loosening the bow tie. He glanced at the stairs, and then squatted softly in front of Connor.

"Connor~ can I have the key here?"

Penello blinked her beautiful eyes, and her eyes naturally showed a bit of charm: "You see, it is quite troublesome to get from my home to London, and in the future, I will have more and more work as a secretary, and there are many things that need to be done. Not suitable for making at home..."

"Okay, okay, your key has been prepared for you a long time ago," Connor reached out and pinched Penello's nose, and said with a smirk: "Otherwise, what do you think I brought you here for? The owner of this house in the future that is--"

"Connor, the room in the middle of the upper floor is mine." Blanche said something at the top of the stairs, and then retreated.

"..."

"..."

Connor hesitated to speak, but finally said with a twitch of the corner of his mouth: "Well, it seems that there is an extra key for this house."

Penello looked at Connor with a resentful expression.

Connor had no choice but to lower his voice and bite her ears: "Don't worry, there are as many houses as you want..."

"Pfft~" Penello suddenly realized that she seemed to be "nurtured" by her little brother. Although this was indeed the truth, because she had never thought about it in this direction before, she suddenly realized this. , somehow laughed out loud.

Penello bit her lower lip, her moist eyes seemed ashamed and annoyed, and she didn't know how much she was hiding.

"Connor, Alice...what are you going to do?"

"..."

What was supposed to come finally came. In fact, Connor thought Penelo would ask him this question after that night. So many things happened in the past two days, and he pretended to have forgotten it.

But since he met Blanche just now, Connor knew that he couldn't continue to deceive himself about this matter. No matter how much he pretended to be deaf and dumb... he still had to face this matter.

Connor had no choice but to sit up, scratching his head, and dodged his eyes: "That... this... Alice..."

On the night of his birthday, while talking on the phone with Alice, Connor was beaten to death by Penello under the table. In the end, he made mistakes and made mistakes.

Looking back now... Connor has no regrets at all and is very happy!

Although I am a little sorry for Alice, but the fact is that as Penello said, there is not much... love between Connor and Alice.

Although Connor couldn't tell what love was, he really couldn't say how much he liked Alice.

The reason why he was willing to accept Alice as his girlfriend was partly because of his "indifference" to this period of his life in the past. As Slytherin said, he did not fully accept his identity. His soul is split, and there is nothing wrong with saying he is a mental patient.

Because of her indifferent attitude towards her future, and Alice's focus on herself, coupled with the slightest bit of short-talking mentality...

Connor had the idea of ​​"Let's live like this for the rest of our lives with Alice."

Connor felt that his mentality was not normal, and he didn't want to harm other girls, so he decided to make do with Alice, who was chasing after her.

After all, considering the development of the family, marrying the Windsors would save at least ten years of struggle to realize Dumbledore's dream.

This was Connor's true thoughts before. He really didn't have any feelings for Alice, and more often regarded her as a naughty sister.

Due to various causes and coincidences, the relationship was unclear, so he finally gave up the struggle and obeyed the little girl's willful request... Anyway, Alice is quite beautiful, and Connor felt that he was not at a disadvantage...

Who can refuse the crazy pursuit of a rich loli?No matter how many problems Alice has, she is always serious about her love for Connor.

But after this birthday...everything changed.

Connor couldn't resist the temptation, and was wiped out by the little secretary who had long harbored evil intentions.

Although Penello started this matter first, Connor would not evade his responsibilities, he did what he did, and he only wanted to have a clear idea in his life, and he never lacked this responsibility.

Especially after Slytherin clarified the confusion in his heart, Connor no longer excluded himself from the world. He no longer regarded himself as a passenger watching a story. He had become the protagonist of the story.

Connor's various ideas became more and more arbitrary. He wanted to change the world by himself, so he became radical in Dumbledore's eyes; Connor wanted to meet his girl, so he ran directly to someone's house Abducted the other's daughter; and now the little lover asks his old wife what to do——

Connor would have loudly replied, "I want them all!"

——It's impossible, Connor is not that stupid to say such a thing in front of Penello.

Although I really think so in my heart, of course I can't say that!

Penello saw through that Connor actually didn't like Alice, and felt that he had a chance to gain power, so he boldly gave herself as a gift on Connor's birthday.

Other girls are here to fight for husbands, not for nothing!What Penello wants to hear most now must be "I will dump Alice when I go back", not some trash talk like "you are all my wings".

And Connor's enthusiasm today really gave Penello the confidence to ask this question. She thought Connor had already made a decision and she wanted an answer.

But Connor didn't think of an answer to that question.

Although he admitted that he did not have any feelings for Alice before, but this specific issue needs to be analyzed in detail.

Alice is already his girlfriend and fiancée in name, and both families have already acquiesced to this fact. If Connor dares to break up with Alice now, although it will not cause any catastrophic consequences, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Not to mention the important position of the Windsor family in the UK, Alice's mother is Flora's best friend, and her father is also a powerful figure in the American wizarding world.

Once the alliance between the Lake family and the Windsor family is broken, it will not only affect this three-acre territory in the UK. If it is serious, the Lake family's unstoppable momentum will be interrupted.

It means that the consequences of breaking up are very serious, and this hand is a bit hard to separate.

And... Connor doesn't really want to break up...

Cough cough cough, although it is a bit shameless to say this, but Connor is not willing to fall into the arms of others in the future with Alice, who has had an in-depth communication with him.

Connor is as possessive as he is controlling.

(Alice's mouth is so soft, only I can taste it!)

All in all, Connor's mind has become active. It's impossible to break up over there, but he can't make dear Penello sad. This matter still has to be postponed first...

Connor brewed his feelings, looked at Penello, and said:

"...Well, Penello, listen to me...After that night, I already know who I like..." (I like both)

"Really!?" Penello's eyes widened in surprise, and she almost couldn't hold back and threw herself into Connor's arms. She was right!Connor really doesn't like Alice, that bad woman!

"Well, yes, in fact, a lot of things happened last night, which made me see my heart clearly. From now on... I won't choose to be alone again." (You are all my wings)

"Connor!" Penello grabbed Connor's hand, her eyes filled with tears, she succeeded!She saved this strong lonely genius!Connor is finally willing to open up to me!

"But, I... still can't get over the hurdle in my heart," Connor lowered his head in "pain": "No matter what, I still betrayed Alice. This is all my fault, and I can't forgive myself easily... "(I regret it so much. If I had known it would be so great, why would I...)

"No! That's not your fault, Connor. If you want to blame it, it should be my responsibility. I seduced you on my own initiative!" Penello said excitedly, and suddenly turned to look at the stairs , breathed a sigh of relief, and continued in a low voice:

"If there's anything wrong, it's my fault too, but Connor, you didn't do anything wrong, you just made a choice, and everyone has the right to choose..."

Connor shook his head "sadly": "I will not evade my responsibilities. Don't talk about this anymore. I will apologize to Alice in the future. I will bear all the sins alone." (Alice, I'm sorry. !)

"Connor~" Penello's eyes blurred. She didn't choose the wrong person. Connor was indeed the best!

"But, it's not possible now. I can't confess all this to Alice yet..." Connor held Penelo's shoulders and used all his acting skills since childhood, with a hint of regret in his "affectionate" eyes. It is divided into 91 points of self-blame, [-] points of confusion and [-] points of pain, and the eyes of a person who "painfully makes a decision contrary to his heart" are vividly expressed.

"It all happened so suddenly. Alice won't accept this result. I'm afraid she will do something stupid, and..."

Connor tilted his head, his face "gloomy" and his expression "shameless":

"The irony is that our family cannot lose the power of the Windsor family now. I'm sorry, Penello, I can't act selfishly. Now is the most important stage of cooperation between the Lake family and the Windsor family, and..."

"...I don't hide it from you. In fact, I will go to the Windsor family for help tomorrow. Professor Dumbledore and I are just completing the first step of the plan. In fact, the next step is our real goal... to complete this matter , the strength of the Windsor family is indispensable."

Connor lowered his head very "remorsefully": "So Penelo, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm actually not as noble as you think. I can't leave Alice now. I even want to continue to use her." family...I...actually just a shameless villain, I may not be worthy of you——"

With her arms full of perfume, Penello hugged Connor tightly, her body trembling slightly: "No, you are not wrong, Connor, you are the best person I have ever met, and I don't want you to belittle yourself like this."

Penello stood up, with a crying and laughing expression on her face. She touched her tears and showed a bright smile:

"I understand everything, I understand everything. This is the best result. I have never been confident that I can snatch you away from Alice. Even I can't find a way for you to give up Alice and choose to have nothing. My reason, Connor, you can open your heart to me, I am very satisfied, Alice, she-"

Penelope paused, gritted her teeth and said: "She will understand in the future, she will understand that the relationship between you is not love at all, and she will let go at that time, I...I am willing to wait!"

What a good girl... Connor couldn't help but feel guilty. Penelo is such a kind girl, but I still lied to her like this... I'm really not a human being.

So Connor gently lifted Penelo's chin with his hand, kissed the tears on her face, and said in her ear: "Thank you Penelo, I will never let you down in this life. ensure."

"Hmm~"

Since then, Connor has opened up an incredible mechanism, which has been...unable to stop...
