Chapter 6: Existential Contradictions

Phil was motionless, and Neville would have taken it for granted that he had been rejected.

"Cliff ......"

Seeing this scene, Connor couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"You might as well pretend to go around in circles."

He couldn't help but pat his cute buddy lightly, while Phil called.

"Meow~"

Then, a cat-cat punch was punched in Connor's face.

There wasn't much strength, and there wasn't much harm, but Connor could really feel her displeasure.

"Okay, okay......"

Gently stroking the fluffy cat's head, Connor returned his gaze to Neville's body.

"My little one is a little special, you should think that she can find your toad without moving."

"Really?"

Neville's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked a little incredulous.

"Is there a cat like this in the world?"

"Of course there is...... At least that's all I do. ”

Of course, this is really just a fool's errand.

Connor himself didn't know if there were any cats in the world like he said, but the little guy wrapped around his neck wasn't a cat at all, just a cat now.

'Buzz'

Just as Connor was soothing Neville, the cat suddenly moved.

She reached out humanly and patted his ear.

"Meow!"

He pointed straight ahead.

There, a small silver-white worm was flying.

The others hadn't noticed it, but Connor did, and the tail sting needle pointed to a compartment like a sign.

"Neville, is that compartment yours? It's the second room on the other side of the door. ”

"Yes, I was there with a couple of friends I just met."

"Lev is there."

"Hey, then it probably thought it was too boring, so it left me alone and went back first."

Without suspecting anything at all, Neville subconsciously took a step.

But before he could take a few more steps, he couldn't stop looking at Connor.

"Well, you're ...... here"

"I'm fine, the prefects probably finished checking my wands too."

This was nothing in Connor's eyes, and although Malfoy looked like they were miserable and had a lot of curses on them, it wasn't something he had unleashed.

And his wand should be clean.

As Neville ran back to his compartment to find his beloved toad, Connor's attention turned to the side.

Percy and Gabriel had finished checking their wands, Gabriel had a gloating smile on his face, and Percy's expression was more complicated.

"It's been checked."

Percy spoke first, handing the wand back to Connor.

"Your wand really doesn't contain any spells other than the Flying Charm."

"And the Malfoy kid's wand has found a lot of evil spells, and you even appeared in the flashback spell, which is obviously the Malfoy's kid's problem."

Gabriel interjected casually, and his casual attitude clearly upset Percy.

"Anyway, that's the case, now get back to your train and we'll take care of it."

"And what kind of punishment will the three of them receive?"

Glancing at the three guys, Connor asked.

“…… We'll take care of that. ”

Percy was clearly hesitant in this regard, and still did not give an accurate message.

This made Connor suspicious.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the second time he's made that mistake, right?"

Connor just stared at Percy's red hair.

"Did the two prefects deal with it last time?"

"I handled it."

Percy whispered.

"So, they didn't really have any punishment, they were just driven to the rear car and do the same thing?"

Percy frowned at Connor's blunt words.

"So, what do you want to say?"

"I just want to know if this matter is over, relying on their family background to wantonly bully the students they despise, I don't think this kind of atmosphere can be formed in a day or two."

“……”

Percy still didn't have a positive response to this.

"Some things are big and not good for you......"

"He didn't dare punish me."

Before Percy could say anything more, Malfoy's side began to shout.

As if realizing that he would not be punished, he immediately plucked up his courage again.

"My dad is not like your incompetent dad, as long as my dad says a few words, his prefect position will be lost soon! He's not going to defend a guy like you who is no different from a mudblood, just a reckless man who wields his fists! ”

"Shut up, Malfoy!"

Percy's expression changed dramatically after hearing a sensitive word.

"What? Weasley? How dare you punish me? Don't forget that I'm not enrolled yet, and your set won't work for me. ”

Seemingly completely oblivious to how embarrassed he had been, Malfoy just kept screaming, trying to use his family background to save some face for himself.

And Crabbe and Goyle beside him also raised their heads with their chests up, showing the demeanor of the gorilla bodyguards guarding the villain little master.

It's just that this classic negative combination now seems to have no meaning of being punished.

Connor could see Percy clenching his fists and an unspeakable humiliation on his face.

But just before he could explode, Gabriel stopped in front of him.

"Percy, don't be impulsive."

“……”

It's not that you don't want to do it, it's that you can't do it.

"Therefore, even places like schools have to submit to the so-called aristocracy and family lineage...... Can I think so? ”

The two prefects didn't speak, they just looked at each other.

Connor also reached out and rubbed his head, there were some things he didn't understand, but they seemed quite strange in school.

"At least this kind of thing should be reported to the teacher, right?"

"Of course, we will inform the teachers at the school of these things."

"Okay, let's do that for now."

Completely distracted by this, Connor returned to his cubicle.

He closed the door of the cubicle again, and it was just a sit-in alone.

And during the time when he was alone and quiet, his adoptive mother appeared by his side again.

"So, how does it feel?"

"Want to hear the truth?"

"Of course."

"It's terrible."

Connor shook his head.

"Not only do these things exist, but the parties also dare to put them on the table openly, an 11-year-old child just uses his family background to overwhelm two prefects who are supposed to uphold justice and act according to the rules, this is completely a common phenomenon in wizarding society, I can hardly imagine what the situation is like in the school."

The witch just slowly closed her eyes and listened quietly to the child's complaints.

"What's more, what's worse is that wizards themselves are sparsely populated, and now they have to live in corners that ordinary people can't notice, so this kind of thing will happen......"

At that, Connor felt like he was going to laugh.

Without waiting for him to complain too much, he felt his mother's cold temperature.

"Mother?"

"Leave it up to your own judgment, kid."

Her figure vanished again, and Neville's voice came from the compartment door.

"Connor! Connor! ”

"What's wrong?"

"We're ready for lunch, do you want to be together?"

These words made Connor's 'hate it' mentality better.

"Of course, can you introduce your friend to me?"

"Of course! We can have lunch together! ”
