Connor's Hogwarts

"I didn't expect that the stairs of the West Tower could hide such a secret."

A week later, it was still the eighth floor of the West Tower. This time, Connor and Dumbledore were standing here together, looking down at the 21 flights of stairs below.

"Yes, I was surprised when I found out at the time. After my research this week, I found that this (pointing to the bottom) formed a new set of changes after inserting a step of stairs, and during this week, the stairs The movement pattern is different every day, so I haven’t determined the activity cycle yet.”

Connor had a dull face and reported truthfully without sadness or joy.

It turned out that Connor was unable to find out the real secret of the stairs by himself. After a week of fruitless observation, Connor still told Dumbledore about it.

Dumbledore glanced at Connor, not asking why it took him a week to tell him this.

"I'm ashamed to say that I have lived in the castle for so many years, but I never noticed that the stairs would suddenly have an extra section at some point. You did a good job, Connor."

Connor twitched his lips in response, but actually he had a lot of mumbo in his heart that he couldn't spit out.

Who would have thought? It was clear that victory was just around the corner, and the hard work over the years was finally about to be rewarded. However, when things came to a head, Connor couldn't break through this membrane, and he was also very desperate.

"So what's your next plan?" Dumbledore asked.

"I plan to continue observing and record the complete change cycle. I guess that the change cycle of the stairs is a cycle of four years. After completely recording all the data, even if I have no clue now, I will definitely be able to discover the real secret in four years. "

Connor waved his hand weakly: "Of course, it would be better if we could crack this code now. Professor Dumbledore, do you have any clues after reading this?"

Dumbledore cast his eyes on the stairs below again. He touched his long white beard, raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "No."

"." Connor stared at Dumbledore with dead eyes.

Dumbledore shrugged: "Don't look at me like that. Solving puzzles is not something I'm good at. You know, I didn't even discover the Room of Requirement when I was at Hogwarts. You don't have to expect me to give it to you." What help was provided?”

".Did you really find nothing?" Connor lowered his head in frustration.

"No, there is no magic reaction, no space fluctuation, this staircase seems to appear out of thin air. If I have to say something, it is that I found that Ms. Ravenclaw is indeed a very powerful magician. "

Dumbledore blinked, thinking he was talking nonsense in a humorous manner, and seemed quite happy. In fact, he had no intention of finding treasures in the first place. It is understandable that he would be just if he had no desire.

Originally, Connor also had this "just" mentality, but because of several unsuccessful attempts, he had become "just" with this treasure.

It's very uncomfortable if you don't understand it, and Connor is in trouble.

"It's the same as not saying it." Connor cursed and curled his lips.

"Hahaha, the task of finding the treasure is still left to you. The Sorting Hat and I are looking forward to you finding the real secret treasure." Dumbledore walked down the stairs and said as he walked:

"Compared with this matter, I care more about your magic scroll experiment and Horcruxes... Recently I checked some information about Horcruxes, but I didn't gain much. I discovered that my understanding of Voldemort is not as good as my original knowledge. I thought it was clear, so I thought I should start with the memories of those who knew him before, and get to know him again."

Dumbledore talked about these things with Connor in a nagging tone, because Dumbledore knew about the Horcrux in advance and now he had more time to solve the matter, which made him look very calm.

This is Dumbledore's self-confidence as the most powerful wizard in the world. Cricket Voldemort would not let Dumbledore stand in front of a formidable enemy. Even when Voldemort was at his peak, he did not dare to provoke Dumbledore, let alone Now this is a defective product.

In fact, if Dumbledore hadn't resisted the temptation of the Resurrection Stone, even a pile of Voldemort wouldn't have been enough for him to trick him. The two men's fighting power might have been evenly matched, but after Voldemort became artificially retarded due to splitting the Horcrux, he would definitely not be able to defeat Dumbledore. Much profit.

Dumbledore also knew this, so he felt much more relaxed after learning about the Horcrux.

It only causes fear when the enemy has unknown means. Since you already know the opponent's trump card, there is nothing to be afraid of.

So the next step is to find out how many Horcruxes Voldemort made, and then destroy them all, so that Dumbledore can talk on the phone with his old lover in peace (crossed out).

The fourth floor of the west tower is connected to the castle. When the two were walking in the corridor on the fourth floor, Dumbledore suddenly pointed to the end of the corridor and said, "Connor, have you sneaked in and taken a look?"

"Don't you have a crystal ball?"

"I can't stare at the tower all the time, and I don't have the habit of spying on others."

"Tsk, no, isn't it just a dog? What's there to see?" Connor was not interested in Dumbledore's hero training plan at all: "By the way, that big dog has three heads. When preparing food for them, isn't it? Three plates? Won’t they fight if there’s only one plate?”

"You should ask Hagrid or the elves about this question." Dumbledore didn't know why the topic had turned to this. He shook his head and said, "The troll prepared by Quirrell was killed by you last time." After killing the magic painting, I asked him to prepare another level, and what do you think he prepared?"

"What?"

"He prepared another troll."

"."

"Hahaha, now Voldemort relies on Quirrell's vitality to maintain his vitality. He doesn't even have the extra power to squander it. He can only use things like trolls to fool me. This proves that his strength is so bad that it is almost useless. "Dumbledore shook his head and said, "This is a good opponent for Harry."

"." Yes, yes, you have to consider everything for Harry. Connor rolled his eyes. He didn't know and thought Harry was your grandson. Is this the treatment of the protagonist? It's really enviable.

Dumbledore seemed to be having a great time playing with Voldemort. Of these two old silver coins, one played the role of a latent and successful old teacher who realized his dream, and the other played the role of a good principal who did not discover the evil spirit. In fact, both of them knew that the other knew that the other knew. It's really boring to lose oneself, but still play the game of playing house with others.

"Connor, do you want to set up a level too? That troll idea is really stupid. How about we replace it? Do you have any ideas?"
