Isobel McDoug.

Just as she appeared, Ernie and Justin couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

Connor even found his roommate's expression teasing.

"Yo, what did I hear you say before? Ordinary classmates? Can you let someone wait for you around the corner without saying a word? ”

“……”

Connor rolled his eyes at Ernie's run-like teasing.

He is so thick-skinned, and this kind of ridiculous ridicule will not make him speechless.

"You're not going to let anyone else come to me?"

"What could be the matter?"

Ernie disagreed.

His naturally gossip-prone brain always came out with strange things, and it seemed as if he could find the most shocking and responsive version of any topic.

"It's you, I think you've been hiding something, there must be a secret between you and McDoug."

Ernie's intention must have been from gossip, but Connor still felt his heart throb when he heard this.

He does have a secret with Isobel, but that secret is obviously different from what most people think.

"Alright, don't speculate over there."

"Uh-huh, we don't guess."

Ernie seemed sincere, but the cunning in his eyes could not escape Connor's insight.

"So you ......"

"Okay, okay, we won't bother you."

Before Connor could speak, Ernie put his arms around Justin and Wayne's necks.

"Let's go, let's go back and try on Halloween clothes and see if my boar hood and clothes match."

Connor's roommates left in a hurry, but stopped as they walked downstairs.

Not only could Connor see their disguise, but the sense of presence that emanated from them was also incomparably strong.

Seeing this scene, Connor couldn't help but stroke the kitten on his shoulder.

At this moment, only Phil's soft fur and body could soothe his extremely embarrassed heart.

What the hell are you guys doing?

He wanted to ask out loud, but unfortunately, when the words came out, he felt as if he had lost that heart.

It's so infuriating and funny.

"They're all interesting people, aren't they?"

Isobel also spoke.

When Connor returned his gaze to her, he saw her approaching with a generous smile on her face.

"At least it's much better than my classmates, and I want to be in Hufflepuff...... Maybe Hermione and I should both go to Hufflepuff so we can all get better. ”

This opening is stirring up the wind and rain, and Connor can't stand it.

The corner of his mouth twitched:

"I don't know much about Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, so I won't judge that kind of thing...... Anyway, do you have anything else to do with me now? ”

“…… Find a quieter place. ”

She spoke.

Unconsciously, the tone that was still a little cheerful was gradually sinking.

When Connor finally looked at her face, he found that she didn't even have a basic smile on it.

"I do have something to ask you."

Is there anything in Hogwarts where you can talk quietly?

The answer is yes.

In fact, whether it is a boat on the Black Lagoon, or some gardens and even the library in Hogwarts, it is a very good choice.

It really doesn't work, and there are some towers in Hogwarts that are often left unused, and they can be used there.

However, Isobel and Connor are not doing some secret activities, and maybe the content of the conversation does need to be kept secret, but the conversation itself is insignificant.

The location they chose was inside the library.

Now that both Connor and she are students who have been approved to stay in the library, this is a good place to be.

“…… Do you remember that book? ”

As he walked to the front of the library, Isobel asked.

"The book you borrowed."

"You say 'Human Transfiguration'? Have you finished reading that book? ”

Connor asked the question casually, but Isobel's expression became unsightly.

Looking at her face, Connor was embarrassed.

"Uh...... You haven't finished reading it? ”

Far from easing the mood, the problem has worsened.

Isobel frowned,

"I've just cracked the title of the book and made a contract with it...... At the moment, it only opens up the basic chapter to me. ”

“…… Oh. ”

Connor could sense that Isobel was clearly resentful at the bottom of his heart.

"Actually, a month is quite fast for the average person, after all, the book itself is an advanced tutorial on the use of Transfiguration, and some of the necessary conditions for Animagus are even classified as one of the optional chapters, most wizards...... Even older students may not be able to answer the questions above. ”

Connor himself was trying to make amends, at least not to make the atmosphere look so awkward.

"You're actually pretty good."

But he seemed to have failed, and Isobel not only did not look appreciative, but his eyes became more and more dangerous.

Connor only felt as if he was being targeted by some beast, and the beast, while revealing the meaning of cannibalism, also had a strong question in his eyes.

A big question mark is just there.

Then, Isobel spoke:

"I remember you paid the book back in a month."

"yes, yes."

In fact, on the same day, Isobel, who knew about it, borrowed the book.

"Are you done reading it?"

An ordinary question, but now it has become a proposition.

Smelling a sense of crisis, Connor only felt as if he was standing at a fork in the road.

Here's the problem

'I already know what's written in that book' or 'I'll read the whole book in a month' which is more lethal?

I didn't think of a specific answer, let alone distinguish between the two.

But that's okay, just follow her train of thought now.

“…… Well. ”

And Isobel was speechless by this acquiescence.

"You really have the face to say it...... By default, you're not an average student? ”

"Then the average student wouldn't be commissioned by Professor Dumbledore to investigate something inconvenient for him to investigate, would he?"

Isobel couldn't help but pat his head.

Seriously, it's a really good reason, so full that she can't argue with it.

But she just felt a headache.

"I don't want to mention him here."

After breathing a long sigh of relief, she slowly spoke:

"Anyway, I'm looking for you because of the things in that book...... You should have seen that guy's name in that book. ”

"You're talking about ......"

"Peter Pettigrew, I saw his name in that book as well."

Hearing this, Connor frowned, but he was not surprised.

"Let's go into the library, don't stand at the door."
