Connor's Hogwarts

Connor looked at his work with a strange expression, and Mandy in the painting looked at Professor Nott with concern, which reminded Connor of one thing.

Because when he painted this painting, Connor didn't know that it was his grandmother. He subconsciously thought that Mandy was Professor Nott's... You know, the character of the painting is determined by the painter. Come...

Connor decided that he would never tell his grandfather that he drew a portrait of his grandmother for Professor Nott. He obviously only drew a portrait of himself for Professor Nott, um, that's right.

Sure enough Slytherin is a healthy house x (cross out)

In fact, if it is true, the painting Connor drew has nothing to do with Mandy's grandmother. This is a painting formed by Professor Nott's memory and Connor's subjective thoughts. It is very different from the real Mandy's grandmother. big.

The moment a painting is finished, it has nothing to do with the artist.In the future, the character of this painting may change because of its experience as a painting, but these have nothing to do with Connor.

"Connor, I made you laugh." Professor Nott, who had calmed down, sat aside and said to Connor apologetically.

Connor shook his head and didn't say anything. He was just a bystander from the beginning to the end. People who eat melons must have the consciousness of people who eat melons. Connor will not and does not want to say anything more.

"Actually, I have been secretly asking for information about the Dark Lord over the years. I think the secret of his immortality is related to soul magic... Principal Dumbledore also thinks so on this point, but soul magic is the most mysterious magic. , we haven’t found the specific reason yet..."

"..." This NPC was just telling some useless news. Connor was complaining in his heart, but his face looked like he was listening attentively.

"Of course I will continue to search in the future. I plan to search in other countries, such as Germany and France... I can always find useful information..." Professor Nott seemed to have thought of something and smiled and said: " I won't be able to be your professor next semester, and you will have to find another Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"...You will still be my professor." Connor paused and said, "You have taught me a lot, and I have always been grateful to you."

Connor learned the most from Professor Nott this semester, and Connor knew that.

"That's right, thank you, you are also my proudest student." Professor Nott said with a smile: "We still have two months after returning from Easter. If you have anything you don't understand or want to ask, you can come Come to me, I can still help you a little."

"Okay, I will be a professor." An elite Auror's all-in-one gift is not a treatment that everyone can have, and Connor will naturally not be polite.

Professor Nott looked at Mandy's portrait again, with a complicated expression on his face, and said, "This painting... you can take it back and give it to your grandfather. She... doesn't belong to me."

"Hey! Zack!" Mandy in the painting was about to speak, but was interrupted by Connor on the side.

"Do not."

Connor shook his head, he turned his head, looked out the window and said: "This painting does belong to you. Because she is Mandy Miller, not Mandy Lake, she is not my grandmother, it... just me It’s just a piece of work, since you commissioned me to paint it, then it belongs to you.”

Of course, it was impossible for Connor to take this painting back. He was afraid that his grandfather would beat him to death.

Professor Nott was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and said to Connor in a very serious tone: "Thank you, Connor, thank you."

So far, Connor and Professor Nott have returned to a pure teacher-student relationship. Afterwards, Connor talked with Professor Nott a lot, until Connor walked out of Professor Nott's office, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Connor always felt that these two days passed as long as two months, and it really was because too many things happened.

"Connor! Why have you been talking to Professor Nott for so long?"

"Yes, yes, we have been waiting here for more than half an hour!"

"Hurry up, we want to see the big sword!"

"If you don't come out again, we will start playing monster cards."

Connor turned his head and saw the twins and Roger Li running around the corner, still complaining non-stop.

Connor showed a very happy smile, his eyes became squinted, and he said, "Here we come, let's go, let's play cards."

"Wow, Connor, why are you smiling so horribly!"

"Huh? Who are you talking about!"

"Every time you smile like that, I always feel like someone is going to be unlucky..."

"You fart! I'm obviously smiling happily..."

"Yes, you are very happy every time someone is unlucky."

"..."

"Don't play cards, I want to play the big sword! The big sword!"

Connor and his party walked away talking and laughing, and the corridor was full of children's laughter.

No matter how bad the world is, it will not affect the young wizards for the time being. It is precisely because the world is bad that we should cherish the beauty of every day even more.

After reading Professor Nott's memories, what struck Connor the most was not anything else, but...the insignificance of life.

Connor didn't want to feel powerless and hopeless like Professor Nott.

Connor wants to have enough power to protect everything.

Connor wanted Hogwarts to become a real fairy tale.

......

In a blink of an eye, it's the Easter holiday, and the school is full of cheerful atmosphere. No matter whether the final exam is approaching or not, the holiday is always a happy thing.

But something doesn't seem right about our red-haired twins...

"Fred, George, why are you carrying this...box?" Patsy Weasley raised his eyebrows and pointed at the two large push boxes behind the twins.

This time, Connor still left Hogsmeade village with the Weasley brothers. When they were gathering at the school gate, Percy found the twins dragging two large boxes behind them, and asked curiously, you know In the past, the twins basically didn't bring anything when they went home on vacation. At most, they used backpacks to carry a few clothes, but this time they brought two suitcases.

"Of course it's a textbook!"

"There's an exam when we come back, so we need to prepare for it."

"What? Are you still preparing for the exam?" Percy looked unbelievable.

"Why can't we prepare for the exam? Are you looking down on us!"

"That's right, Patsy looks down on people!"

Connor was watching Fred and George talking nonsense, twins reviewing?Impossible, they just put extra effort into the things they are interested in.

They will not do such things as reviewing in advance for exams.

Connor knew what was in their boxes, which were all kinds of potion materials, medicinal herbs, and related books. As for why Connor knew, it was because Connor helped collect (tou) collect (lai) these things.

As for what they want these things for, the reason they told Connor was that they wanted to make the "skipping pill" that Connor proposed.

After that night, Fred and George seemed to have been stimulated, and both became much more eager to learn. Although they were still doing nothing on the surface, Connor knew that they were secretly working hard.

This is a good thing. Of course, Connor will not stop them. He is also happy to give them advice and steal some materials from Snape and the school's greenhouse... Ahem, Connor has secretly paid money. After all, he is all about money. This is one more advantage.

Saying goodbye to the noisy Weasley brothers, Connor walked towards Lake Manor.

The twins have their vacation plans, and Connor of course has his own. He has an idea that has basically met the conditions for realization, and he plans to get it out during the Easter vacation.

But... the thought of meeting my grandfather makes me inexplicably a little timid.

Connor walked into Lake Manor with a feeling of apprehension.
