Connor's Hogwarts

Connor carried several arcade machines into the Room of Requirement through a special way (fourth-dimensional pocket). After that, there were obviously more little wizards who usually came here for entertainment.

For example, the two brothers Fred and George have almost become their side jobs by exploring the castle and the Forbidden Forest. They run to the Room of Requirement as soon as they get out of class, completely turning into Internet-addicted teenagers.

"Connor, let's get a few more machines into the school!"

"Yes, yes! It's fun to play with multiple people! With just these few machines, there's not enough time."

The twins, who had finished enjoying themselves again, gave way to Lee and Roger, and then came over and complained to Connor.

Connor was writing and drawing on a piece of paper and said without raising his head: "Have you reviewed your elective courses? Have you finished your homework this week? Have you previewed next week's courses? I brought this arcade machine in for everyone. The purpose of relaxing once in a while is not to let you play with things to get bored."

"Please, it's just the beginning of school." Fred spread his hands: "Why not take it easy? Life is not just about studying, Connor."

"Isn't studying a relaxing thing?" Connor put down his pen and said: "Okay, these are the rules of the third Pokemon Finals. Fred, please spread the word about this, Griffin. I’ll leave it to you to do that.”

Fred took the paper handed over by Connor and said, "We have held small competitions every year before. Why are you doing it with so much fanfare this time, Connor?"

"It's an experiment. You know, Lake Chess will soon open up the Floo powder transmission market across Europe. We plan to hold the first [Monster Cup] competition across Europe next year. I want to make this competition a success. International competition!" Connor waved his fist and said:

"Through this school competition, I can carefully observe various problems that will be encountered in the competition and formulate a new set of rules suitable for large-scale competitions. This can also be regarded as a warm-up for the [Yōkai Cup]."

"Cool! Are you going to make the Monster Card Game a big event like the Quidditch World Cup!? It sounds so fun!" George exclaimed.

Connor nodded and said: "Yes, my plan has been made. The promotion of the [Monster Cup] has been prepared for a long time, and the school's monster card finals will be over before Halloween. By the time of the New Year, The [Yōkai Cup] Regional Screening Tournament can be held!”

Fred read the rules of the competition carefully and said: "In the preliminary round, two representatives from each grade and each college will be selected, a total of fifty-six people. Then there will be a battle between each college in each grade, and two representatives from each grade will advance. Will the top fourteen be selected, and the [Monster King] of Hogwarts will be selected in the finals? It’s interesting, it’s really interesting.”

"Then we can also compete!" George said excitedly.

"Of course, all students can participate. Your task is to fool more and encourage students to participate. The rewards will be very generous!"

". Representatives who advance to the grade level can get a random gold card of commonly used card pool monster cards; those who advance to the top fourteen can get any limited edition monster card; the top three will have precious customized rewards. The final interpretation right of this event belongs to Lake Chess and Cards ..." After Fred finished reading, he raised his head and asked: "What is a precious customized reward?"

"The special commemorative card is made by me alone. This is an opportunity to make yourself into a monster card!" Connor emphasized, knocking on the table.

"cool~!!!" x2

"The champion of this competition must be mine!" x2

The twins turned sharply to look at each other.

Fred: "Mine!"

George: "Mine!"

The two then struggled with each other.

"." Connor felt his head hurt a little: "I told you two, if you want to fight, wait until you finish doing things for me, okay?"

The twins were noisy for a while before they stopped. Fred adjusted his collar and said, "There's no need to rush this matter. It's just something we yell in the lounge."

"Um, Connor." After a while, Fred and George sat next to Connor, looking malicious.

"What do you two want to do?!" Connor was alert.

"Connor, let me ask you something." Fred said furtively.

"? If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I have to go to the library to study runes later."

"Don't worry." George's eyes rolled wildly: "Connor, did you and Alice quarrel?"

Connor pushed the two of them away, patted his clothes and said, "Why do you ask this?"

"We don't care about you." Fred spread his hands and said, "I really don't care about others."

"That's right, I see that you and Alice haven't been doing something right these days. Are you having some relationship problems? Tell us, we are the best at dealing with emotional problems!" George said, patting his chest.

"You?! Are you kidding me? Have you ever been in love?" Connor shook his head and sneered. It's ridiculous that two singles dare to talk nonsense here.

"Hey! Don't underestimate us, we helped solve Li and Angelina's relationship problems! We even helped Cedric! No one knows how to deal with relationship problems better than us!"

Connor narrowed his eyes. The emotional intelligence of these two guys is indeed quite high, but no matter how you look at their intentions, they are not that simple. To share the worries of friends? I, Connor, was the first one not to believe it!

"There is nothing between Alice and I. If you have time to care about such things, you might as well go back and finish your homework in Arithmetic Divination class."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, Connor, let's talk about it~"

Connor resolutely rejected the strange request of these two people. Seeing that Connor refused to let go, the two had to give up questioning.

"It's boring...Okay, Connor, actually we have one more thing we want to ask your opinion on." Fred and George let go of Connor and sat on the other side of the sofa.

"explain."

"We plan to create a Hogwarts monthly report to record the interesting stories that happen in the castle every month. What do you think of this idea?"

Connor's eyes widened. He knew that these two guys didn't have good intentions. Are they running a newspaper? Do you want to make headlines about me? ! Fortunately, he was not fooled. Connor frowned and said, "Why do you suddenly want to do this?"

"Well, it's a long story. The main reason is that we've been a little too bored recently." George spread his hands.

"The secret passages in the school have been explored to a great extent, and the map of the Forbidden Forest has almost been drawn. Even the chance to battle wits with Peeves is gone. We feel that life has suddenly become empty."

"? Your homework?"

"Stop, stop, stop! Please, Connor, don't tell us about homework, okay? Please!"

Connor shrugged: "So you don't have anything else to do? Have you researched the truant pill?"

"Hehe, actually we have almost done research on this." The twins looked at each other and smiled: "We also made a lot of weird roads. We tried to sell them, but the sales volume was not very good, and we sold them one by one. , progress is too slow.”

"So...we thought of advertising!"

"This is inspired by your billboard!"

"We want to start a newspaper of our own at Hogwarts!"

"Our brotherhood is responsible for the distribution!"

"Record interesting stories that happened in the castle!"

“You can also advertise our products!”

“Absolutely perfect!” x2

"Connor, what do you think of this idea?" x2

The light bulb lit up in Connor's mind. He had to admit that this was really an excellent idea. What is the most convenient and quick way to control people's consciousness? Control public opinion!

The mainstream public opinion in the British wizarding world is in the hands of the Daily Prophet, but not many young wizards at Hogwarts are used to reading the Daily Prophet, except for some traditional wizard families who order the Daily Prophet for their children. Apart from the daily newspapers, few young wizards are willing to spend their own money to buy newspapers. After all, the things published in the Daily Prophet are relatively far away from the young wizards.

Therefore, the newspaper market at Hogwarts is completely blank, so running a school newspaper at Hogwarts has great potential!

Connor's thoughts became vivid. Almost all British wizards came from Hogwarts. The students of Hogwarts are the future of the British wizarding world. Now that he has founded a brotherhood that has attracted all the wizarding elites, So why not water those more common "flowers" by the way?

"Connor, there are many benefits to running a newspaper. Your monster card can also be advertised in it..."

"Competitions like these can also be published directly in newspapers..."

Seeing Connor's silence, the twins tried to persuade Connor, and then...

"What a great idea! What a great idea!" Connor suddenly stood up and slapped his fist, startling the twins: "Fred, George, I completely agree with your plan! But we don't have a monthly magazine, we have a weekly magazine ! Timeliness is very important! As well as editing, content, manuscripts... This is a plan that needs to be thought about carefully! You can even make it a major activity of our fraternity! Let me think about it."

"..." Looking at Connor who kept mumbling and seemed much more excited than them, the twins were a little stunned for a moment and looked at each other. Was this... the plan successful?
