Connor's Hogwarts

"Are you ready?! Let's go!"

Under the protection of the invisibility spell, dozens of broomsticks soared into the sky, streaking across the Hogwarts night sky without leaving any trace.

At this time, Harry, who got new glasses, was as excited as a child who got a new toy (even though he was a child to begin with).

Through these magical glasses, the world seemed to have changed in his eyes. Everything that fell into his eyes was labeled with names, as if the world had no secrets in front of him.

Your own "team list" is displayed in the void on the left, and the "small speaker" under your avatar can also show who is speaking in your ear.

Cedric: "Brothers, follow me, let's do something big tonight!"

Fred: "Sed, don't scare Harry. It's his first time. Don't be so exciting right from the start."

Harry excitedly said, "It's okay! I'm totally fine. I feel... better than ever before!"

Cedric: "Hahaha! Harry, I really saw you right, why don't you just hang out with me from now on!"

George: "Speaking of which, the giant spider in the Forbidden Forest is indeed a bit weird recently. The giant spider can't be seen in the periphery. Could it be that our actions have been discovered?"

Fred: "No, no, no, I heard Connor said it was the basilisk. The basilisk in the secret room was released. Now all the spiders in the castle have been scared away. I guess those giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest are You must have received a similar signal."

Harry: "Eh? The basilisk? The basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets? Was it released? What happened?"

Fred: "Don't you know? Connor recently established a new magic research department and poached all the members of my props department..."

George: "That's right! He went too far. He actually said that we make useless toys all day long, please! Isn't the purpose of magic research just to create more interesting props?!"

Fred: "That's right... If Connor hadn't given us a bunch of ideas for new props, we would have had a quarrel. I heard that Connor was recently leading people to study the basilisk, and he had let the basilisk be in before. There are a lot of things running around in the underground pipes. If you are interested, go to the Demon Research Department. I have to admit that it is quite interesting there. I remember Hermione joining..."

Cedric: "No, no, no! Harry, listen to me. That department is not interesting at all. It is the gathering place for those crazy people in Ravenclaw. You should join our war department! As long as you experience hunting once You will definitely fall in love with the joy of killing giant spiders!"

"..." Looking at the extremely enthusiastic Cedric flying beside him, Harry didn't know how to answer for a moment. How come you, a Hufflepuff, are more powerful than us, the Lions? Are you hot-blooded?

In fact, Harry has recently been visited by the heads of various departments in the fraternity to chat, such as the News Department, the Athletics Department, the Review Department, as well as the newly established Magic Painting Department, Magic Brain Department, and War Department... .all want to recruit Harry into their department.

Nowadays, the various departments of the Brotherhood have been divided into more and more details. After all, this is a society that values ​​"freedom". It is not very strict to establish new departments within the society, and there is no problem in joining several departments at the same time.

For example, Cedric is now the head of both the Review Department and the Combat Department, although he has long since stopped wanting to do admissions review...

Harry is about to enter the third grade, but he has not yet clearly joined any department. He is a member of the "fishing department" who does nothing, and naturally becomes the target of various ministers who want to abduct him.

He recently went to experience the "work" of various departments so that he could decide where to enter the third grade. Tonight's "Forbidden Forest Mission" was also prepared for this.

In the past, going to the Forbidden Forest to hunt giant spiders was an activity for brotherhood members to earn extra money. After all, the Acromantula is full of treasures, and killing one is very profitable. But since I can make money by drawing magic paintings with the magic pen, I like to do this. Just less.

It was Cedric who proposed at the weekly meeting that "Brotherhood members need to get used to facing dangers and have more actual combat experience". With the support of a group of dueling enthusiasts, an independent combat department was formed, which was filled with a group of militants.

If it weren't for several grades in Slytherin and Ravenclaw having astronomy classes together tonight, there would be even more people coming out to "hunt spiders".

Harry and his group of six people quickly flew to the territory of the giant spider while laughing and joking, and each of them stood or squatted on a branch.

Harry held the tree trunk with one hand and the broom with the other, using the night vision function of his glasses to observe a giant spider's nest that was about [-] meters away, his face full of excitement.

Fred's voice came to his ears: "Captain, what should we do next? Should we still use decoy tactics?"

Cedric: "No, let's play a big one this time!"

George: "I like this! Do you want to set a fire? I have new fireworks props here!"

A certain Hufflepuff senior said: "Hey George, don't do this. Setting fire in the Forbidden Forest will attract Hagrid. If Connor finds out, he will be reprimanded again at the regular meeting."

George: "I'm just going to give you an idea, so Syd, what are you going to do?"

Cedric: "You open the map first, Harry. The map is in the glasses. It is a function modified from the [Forbidden Forest Marauder's Map]. You can use it by directly giving instructions."

Harry heard this and called out his "System Wizard", and then saw a small map in the upper left corner of his field of vision. After controlling the zoom, he could also see the "blue dot" marks of the six people in their group, and...a bunch of Densely packed red dots.

"Oh my God!? What are these red dots? Are they spiders?" Harry shouted in surprise, and he had goosebumps all over his body for a moment.

Fred: "Don't be nervous, those are all the magical creatures in this area. Let your glasses assistant screen out the giant spiders. In fact, there are not that many..."

Harry gave the order again. Although there were a lot fewer red dots showing the giant spider, they were still almost all over the entire map. At a glance, there were probably hundreds of densely packed red dots. Harry didn't even know where he was standing. There are just so many Acromantulas hidden there.

Cedric: "The underground in this area is the territory of giant spiders. Although most of them are small spiders that have not grown up, there are definitely a lot of adult giant spiders. We must catch three or four of them tonight." !”

George: "So what are you going to do?"

Cedric's sinister laughter came from the voice channel: "Hey, actually, I secretly stole a basilisk scale from the Demon Research Department yesterday. It is said that the basilisk is the nemesis of the giant spider. You said we should throw away the scales." What will happen if you go to their lair?”

Fred: "I'll go!? Syd, you are too cruel! Are you planning to bring chaos to the Forbidden Forest?"

George: "But I like it! It's very interesting to hear it!"

Cedric: "Hahahaha! I can probably guess that the giant spiders will definitely fall into chaos. Then it will be easy for us to fish in troubled waters and secretly capture a few giant spiders!"

Harry: "Ah... wouldn't it be good..."

Cedric: "These spiders are not a good thing, Harry. They can eat people. Don't sympathize with them."

Harry: "....Then what will I do then?"

Cedric: "We are wearing invisibility cloaks. As long as we don't use magic spells with light effects, we won't be discovered by the giant spiders, so remember to use those silent spells, and don't kill the giant spiders when you catch them. , their venom is valuable when they are just dead, you can cut off their legs and hang them up, but don’t target the head with the curse..."

"..." Harry watched dumbfounded as Cedric took out... a huge scythe on his shoulder. Through his glasses, his eyes seemed to be flashing green in the dark night. The light...that is...the look that only a predator would have.

Cedric licked his lips. He was holding a scythe in one hand and a wand in the other. A huge snake scale was suspended on the top of his wand: "Of course, close combat is the most stealthy and efficient method. The equipment we have on us is enough to ensure that we You can move faster than the giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest, but I don’t recommend you do this, after all, it is a bit dangerous..."

Fred and George on another branch were laughing happily: "Harry, you will know where his nickname came from soon. Don't be scared by Syd later."

Harry swallowed, and nodded whether he was scared or excited: "I probably guessed a little bit..."

"Are you ready?" Cedric reminded everyone to be prepared, and then he raised his wand. In the next moment, the snake scale on the top of the wand flew towards the giant spider's nest in the distance and disappeared into the darkness.

Then, the Forbidden Forest suddenly "boiled" at night, and there were strange screams of giant spiders all around. When Harry looked at the "mini map", he found that the entire map was covered with red dots!Moreover, the red dots are radiating out in all directions with the nest as the center. At a rough glance, there may be hundreds of them.

"Aha! Brothers!" Cedric laughed excitedly: "Tonight, we will have a great time hunting!"
