Connor's Hogwarts

"Yes, the contract has been signed, and I will negotiate with you later, but...Professor, there are still too few people I can use, can you recommend some?"

"I do have a few trustworthy people... They are all old friends from many years ago, but they may not understand my proposition, so I can't solve your problem for the time being."

"So the recruitment of professors should be done without delay, so that professors can free up more time to do more meaningful things..."

"Hehehe, you can rest assured about this. Since the news was released yesterday, I have received more than a dozen job application letters from all over the world. Our school's signboard is still very useful. I will be busy in the next period of time. Everything over there is up to you."

"OK, let's discuss the specific matters back to school..."

Connor hung up the Facebook chat, only to find Penello, the co-driver next to him, staring at him without blinking.

"What's the matter? Have you figured out where to go next?"

"Well, no, I'm just curious..." Penello tilted his head and smiled: "Connor, can you tell me what happened now? I have been confused from morning to now, although I I don’t mind, but my heart keeps feeling itchy, if you don’t believe me, can you touch it?”

Connor coughed pretentiously. He just left Windsor Castle and tempted me like this. Which cadre can stand this kind of test.

Connor had a friendly discussion with several Muggle nobles, and decided on a cooperation intention and a preliminary cooperation plan. After they had lunch in the castle, Connor, under Alice's resentful gaze, brought Penello bid farewell and left.

"I'll tell you everything, but I have to tell you one by one. Come and ask, what do you want to know?"

"Well... Connor, what is the purpose of your cooperation today? Although I know that you have finalized a plan to build a power plant, I don't quite understand what your cooperation actually means?"

"The purpose of today's meeting is actually to form an alliance with those Muggle nobles. Building a power plant is only the first step. That is a piece of bait I threw out. As long as they see what cooperation with me can bring them Benefits, they will pounce on them more and more like sharks smelling blood." Connor chuckled lightly.

"They?" Penello pressed the big hand on his chest that was making trouble: "Why do I feel that they are not the two dukes you said, Connor?"

"It's them, but it's not just them. I don't just want to catch these two fish," Connor shook his head: "Before I made them think that my purpose was to seek a position in the wizarding world, it sounds like I It seems that they are relying on them to rebel, but in fact it is all deceiving them."

"As you saw just now, what I'm doing today is planning with Professor Dumbledore. In a more arrogant way, we are playing a big game of chess."

"Originally, Professor Dumbledore's plan was to take it slowly, and he wanted to solve the internal problems of the wizarding world first, and then try to solve the future threat of the Muggle world, but I think At his pace, he couldn't have waited for that day, so I convinced him to do both, and maybe take a bigger step."

"Wait, wait," Penello said with a blushing face, "I don't understand anymore, why don't you tell me what you and Professor Dumbledore are going to do first? Although I know you are planning to do something big , but I'm still confused."

"Huh? How do you say this, if I say that we are saving the wizarding world, do you believe it?"

"Believe me, Connor, I will believe everything you say."

"Haha, actually this is the truth. Professor Dumbledore and I are looking for a way out for us wizards. I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. According to the current development speed of Muggles, we won't have to wait many years. I estimate it will be 30 to [-] years. Over time, Muggle technology will develop to the point where it is difficult for wizards to compete. Grindelwald had already seen this future. The Dark Lord planned to start a war to rule the Muggle world, but Dumbledore and I They all feel that it is just asking for death..."

Penelo ignored her body's reaction and listened in shock with her small mouth. She was just an underage girl. How could she have considered such a thing before? Connor's straightforward words brought her a The impact was huge. Because of her trust in Connor, she did not even doubt the possibility of this future. She did not expect that the seemingly peaceful wizarding world actually lurked such a crisis...

"Grindelwald's method of overturning the table is doomed to fail, but if we don't want future wizards to become guinea pigs in Muggle laboratories, we must find a way to find another way for wizards to survive. Dumbledore and I Everything we do now is aimed at that end.”

"Then what's our plan?" Penello frowned, she was frightened by Connor and felt a sense of crisis.

"We"?Connor looked at Penello and smiled: "We have to face too many enemies, such as this magical world filled with racial discrimination and constant infighting, the wizarding world where the people are ignorant and unwilling to make progress, and The Ministry of Magic clearly knows our situation and there are so many problems that need to be solved, but arrogantly chooses to turn a blind eye..."

"Penello, do you know? Once our actions are exposed, what greets us may be the enemy of the entire magic world. Maybe I will become a new generation of [Dark Lord] in the mouth of most wizards. Even so, you Do you still choose to stand with me?"

"Why not?" Penello said firmly, "I believe Connor, you are right, and I will always support you behind your back."

"Hehe, thank you for your trust." Connor lowered his head and kissed Penello on the forehead. The car was driving and the passenger seat was empty for some reason.

"By the way, Connor, does Alice know what you are going to do?"

Connor's expression was strange: "Ahem, no, she doesn't know. Although her father has agreed to this, she should be counted as the one who was dragged onto the pirate ship by me, but she should have figured it out. Our Lake family The Windsors are already staunch allies of Professor Dumbledore, so you don’t have to worry about her betrayal..."

"I'm not worried about this! It turns out that's what it is... I understand." Penello rolled his eyes, smiled slyly, twisted his body a few times in Connor's arms and said with a smile, "You continue."

"Then continue with our plan. First of all, the purpose of the professor's news about the Chamber of Secrets is to attract talents to teach at Hogwarts, and to attract the attention of the entire wizarding world. On the other hand, we will act. Next, our cooperation with Muggles is the focus of the plan."

"Use our wizard's technology to cooperate with Muggles, and find a way to hide from the Ministry of Magic's investigation. This matter will be our most important task next."

"This is also the way out for the wizards that I talked about with Professor Dumbledore - to reintegrate us human wizards into the Muggle world through the bundling of interests."

"And the fundamental purpose of all these actions is to let the wizarding world find its own position in this world." Connor simply closed his eyes and let the car drive by itself: "The wizarding world has been separated from the Muggle world for too long. When we want to return to the system of the entire human world, we will inevitably be assigned a [position] that belongs to us, and what we are doing now is to find a way to hold the initiative of position allocation in the hands of wizards."

"Location? What do you mean?"

"Just imagine, a war broke out between the wizarding world and the Muggle world. In the end, we lost because we were outnumbered. What will happen to the wizards after the defeat?"

"Um..." Penello shuddered: "Will he be arrested? Will he be hunted for witches like in the Middle Ages?"

"This is indeed the most likely outcome. In this way, wizards will completely lose their status. Wizards will be exposed to Muggles again, and they can be regarded as integrated into the Muggle world, but they will be assigned the worst position."

"That's true...huh?!...What should we do then?"

"So we can't break out of war. The number of our wizards is too small. The result of the war will inevitably be defeat. We must take the initiative and integrate into the human world proactively, subtly, and without any trace. Identity becomes a profession."

The magic car drove smoothly on its own. Connor continued: "In fact, most of the resources in the Muggle world are in the hands of a very small number of people. Our first step is to contact this group of people and let them accept us. exist, deeply bind interests, and then slowly expand this circle of interests to influence more people, and finally allow us wizards to have the right to speak in the Muggle political world..."

Connor opened his eyes: "At that time, there will be many things we can do, such as making the most powerful government in the Muggle world announce that humans have discovered a new energy source [magic], and then wizards will be the ones to study this kind of energy. Humans with new energy are not aliens being hunted down."

"Of course, things can't be that simple, but integrating into this world as naturally as possible is our ultimate goal."

Penello said suddenly: "Connor, you seem to have been emphasizing us humans, what about goblins and other magical races?"

"..." Connor suddenly let out a sigh of relief: "I thought you didn't notice... I don't even know if I should praise you for being so smart..."

Penello blinked his eyes and lightly covered his mouth: "Could it be..."

"We have to do our best to protect the interests of our wizards. Penello, I can only guarantee the interests of our wizards. This world is not beautiful at all, and it is not a fairy tale at all. I can only promise that I will do my best, but the result will be What will happen...I can't see that kind of future either..." Connor sighed and stopped talking.

"...You have done a good enough job. I believe Connor that you will find the best way. I believe in you!"
