Chapter 184 Curtain

"Connor, please don't leave, please."

".I'm sorry, Alice, I can't go against the family's arrangements."

"But. I won't see you for a long time."

"Just stay at school with peace of mind. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time. I'm always here. Stop making trouble and be good."

"But."

"Anyway, Alice, can you get off of me first? Everyone is watching. It won't have a good impact."

"oh"

Alice slowly jumped off Connor's back. She had been lying on Connor like a koala just now.

At this time, they were standing at the gate of the school, and a group of red-haired people from the Weasley family were looking at Connor and Alice jokingly, smiling sweetly and laughing without saying a word.

Seeing Alice who was not ashamed but proud, not blushing but out of breath, not only not feeling shy but still a little bit unsatisfied, Connor sighed helplessly: "Alice, this holiday will be over soon. everything will get better."

"Oh" Alice nodded as if she understood, and then she hugged Connor's arm again. Because the movement was too big, Mira in Connor's arms glared at her. She said softly: "What about the holiday?" Li Conner, please write to me more often."

"Well, isn't there Facebook?"

"But if I use Facebook, I'm afraid I won't be able to help talking to you all day long." Alice tilted her head cutely: "This will disturb Connor, after all, Connor still has a lot of work to do. .”

"Well, probably... eh, okay. I'll try my best to write a letter." Connor reluctantly agreed. After this holiday, everything will be fine, Connor comforted himself.

And...it seems that the development of text messaging version of Facebook will also be put on the agenda.

Alice chatted with Connor about a bunch of miscellaneous things before she was willing to let him leave. Finally, Connor had a stiff face and waved goodbye to Alice who was standing at the door. As soon as they turned the corner, the Weasley family The few redheads couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Connor's face was expressionless: "What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

"Connor, it seems that you are going to be eaten by that little girl." Charlie patted Connor on the shoulder with a funny look on his face.

"It's a joke. I'm just dealing with her. How could I, Connor, be eaten to death by a girl?"

"Oh? So Connor, you are planning to regret your engagement?"

"? How many times have I told you that Alice and I are not engaged! Not engaged! Not engaged! Why don't you believe me?"

"Oh." x4

"."

"To be honest, Connor, don't you like Alice? Or do you prefer Penelo?" George said sneakily.

"No, I'm not even interested in little girls."

"Huh? Do you like older people?"

"Shut up, okay? When did you become so fond of asking around?"

"No, we just like to see you helpless and helpless when being pestered by girls." The twins said in unison.

"." Connor finally resisted the idea of ​​​​pumping these two guys to the ground and beating them up.

"By the way, the share of your skin care products should have arrived. I heard the sales were pretty good." Connor suddenly remembered this matter and quickly changed the subject.

"Eh!? Really?"

"Is it Fred George that you made that whitening pill before?" Percy frowned: "Does anyone really buy that thing?"

"Not to mention, their products are quite popular." Connor shrugged.

Charlie smiled and shook his head: "You two finally did something right."

"Connor! Connor! How much did you sell?" Fred asked excitedly.

"Yes, yes, it has been on sale for a month, right? Have you bought hundreds of gold galleons? Haha" George was equally excited, but his last sentence felt a bit joking.

"Hundreds? How can it be so little? Last month, it seemed to have sold more than a thousand gold galleons. I didn't ask in detail. I just heard that the sales volume is very stable. In the future, it will be sold abroad, and the sales will be more than 10,000 gold galleons every month. Jin Gallon probably isn’t a problem either. Um? Why don’t you leave?”

As Connor was walking, there was suddenly no sound of footsteps around him. When he turned around, he found that the four Weasley brothers were just standing there in a daze.

"One thousand gold galleons?!?" Fred yelled.

"Ten thousand gold galleons!??" George screamed.

"Connor, are you...are you kidding??!" Percy was distracted.

"???" Charlie was stunned.

"Um, a thousand Galleons. Is that a lot?" Connor scratched his head honestly.

"You!!?" Fred pointed at Connor blankly: "Do you know how much my dad's monthly salary is?"

"How much?"

"My father's monthly salary is only fifty gold galleons! All kinds of extra money add up to less than one hundred galleons!" George's face turned red and he danced.

"The Minister of Magic's monthly salary is only 400 gold galleons." Percy said in disbelief.

"Bill's monthly salary as a curse-breaker is only 100 Galleons." Charlie was dumbfounded. (These are not the settings of Cuttlefish~)

"Ah, so you are so poor?" Connor scratched his head honestly.

"."

The Weasley brothers covered their little hearts. This was so exciting, even more exciting than beating Hufflepuff in the Quidditch match.

"Connor. Is that how profitable that thing is?" Charlie asked cautiously.

"It's okay. It's mainly because people bought it when it was placed in the store and the effect seems to be good. I heard that old men who played cards originally bought it for their wives to use at home. Thanks to you, we now have more female customers in the store. You’re up”

"Wait, Connor, your family doesn't want to share this money, right?" George suddenly remembered that Connor said that all the profits from the wizarding world belong to their family.

"Yes, we agreed at the time, and our family doesn't care about this little money." Connor nodded honestly.

"." This is the reason why the income is so high, but why does it feel bad in my heart?

"This is not okay! Connor! We can't accept all the profits! This is too much. We are getting money for nothing when we have done nothing. I feel really bad about it." Fred suddenly patted Connor's shoulders. With a complicated expression: "Your family will get half of it back. No, we can just get one-third."

Looking at Fred with a serious expression, Connor couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, your families are really of the same origin. I heard that Mrs. Weasley also refused like this when we handed the money to her. "

"Eh? So mom has already accepted the money? Why didn't she tell us?" Charlie said blankly.

"I guess I didn't have time, but I said you are being pretentious. The broom I gave you is more than a thousand galleons. What's wrong with accepting this little money?" Connor slapped Fred's hands away and smiled. hugged his neck.

Fred's face turned red: "This... can this be the same!? Besides, we will pay you back the money when we make money in the future!"

"That's fine, I won't give you your share for the next two months."

"Eh!!?"

"Just kidding, haha." Connor laughed: "Actually, your products are much more popular in the Muggle world than in the wizarding world. We make a lot of money there, and we actually get a share of it, so you don't have to mind. this matter."

"But what's the use of Muggle money? You still suffer a loss, right?" Percy said blankly.

"Haha. Don't worry about it. Just accept the money with confidence, eh? No. Since Mrs. Weasley didn't tell you about this, I guess you won't be able to share the money when you go home."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeee!??"

——

"Angel? Are you serious?"

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore told me that himself."

A few days later, at Lake Manor, Connor was talking to his grandfather who had just returned from a long trip to discuss business.

"This is interesting. No wonder those lunatics from the church who only know how to play with light are running around. It turns out that an angel is about to be born." Grandfather stroked his hands with interest: "Interesting, interesting, by the way, Connor, you are That this angel was born from the monster card?"

"Well, that's what Professor Dumbledore told me anyway, and the angel is on Alice's body. Professor Dumbledore said that the angel will be born probably during the Easter holidays."

"Easter holiday? No, I think it's Easter, which is probably in a few days."

"Oh? Why?" Today is already March 28, 1991. This year's Easter is not April 12, but March 31.

"Connor, you know the origin of Easter, right?"

"Well, it is said that it is the day when the Holy Son Jesus was resurrected and ascended to heaven on the third day after his death."

"Haha, Jesus." Grandfather smiled and shook his head: "Jesus is not a holy son. He is just an elf."

"Eh?"

"Connor, you know, only Catholic crosses have Jesus tied to them, but Muggle Christian crosses don't have people tied to them... Why do you think this is?"

"Ah? It turns out there is a difference between crosses."

"Haha, it's normal that you don't know this. There are many explanations for this kind of thing, but in the final analysis, it is because Catholicism is a religion controlled by wizards, and Jesus is not God. The cross symbolizes only the authority of Catholicism..."

Old Devin had a look of disdain on his face and continued:

"Although there is no exact documentary record, we wizards all believe that Jesus is the most successful angel created by the church. In other words, he is a [false god]. That is probably the closest they have come to successfully creating a god. "

Grandfather rubbed his chin: "Of course. This is just an unfounded guess. The truth of the matter has long been lost in history. And that's not what I want to say..."

"Around Easter are the days of the year when the light element is most active. If an angel is going to be born, there is a high probability that it will be on Easter."

"Um, so the day after tomorrow is the day when angels are born?" Connor didn't expect Easter to be so special.

"Yeah. Of course, we don't rule out other possibilities, but I think Easter is the most likely day. All of this has nothing to do with us, right?"

"Emmmm, that's true too."

"Since Dumbledore didn't say much, it means that he was probably prepared. He is the most powerful white wizard in the world. We can't help him with things that he can't solve. Let's treat this as a fun fact. Listen, no one can have too much of a church."

"Um, grandpa, you don't seem to like church?"

"Ha, no wizard who has read the history of magic in those years likes the church. By the way, you haven't learned this yet, right? Come on, come on, Connor, sit over here, and grandpa will tell you a story."

——

In a strange room at Hogwarts, Dumbledore was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Alice floating in the air in front of him.

At this time, Alice seemed to be "wrapped" in the air by a mysterious force. She hugged her knees with her hands, like a fetus sleeping in her mother's belly.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door

"come in"

The door was opened and quickly closed again. Dumbledore's eyes never left Alice, but what he saw in his eyes did not seem to be the figure of Alice in front of him...

Dumbledore said:

"Severus...look...she's beautiful...isn't she?"

".?" Snape looked at the little girl in the air, and then looked at Dumbledore with a complicated expression, a little doubting whether he had followed the wrong person.

"This power is so beautiful and intoxicating." Dumbledore murmured: "I can finally understand why the Holy See believes in [God]. No wizard can remain calm in the face of this kind of power."

Only then did Snape realize that the "she" Dumbledore was talking about was not Alice. He turned his eyes to the little girl in the air again, and then he saw something different.

The girl was surrounded by an extremely mysterious force, which was still pulsing like the beating of a heartbeat.

Along with the rhythmic pulsation, magical energy escaped. Just feeling these tiny energies, Snape felt as if he had turned into tiny dust and was in the vast sea of ​​stars.

If you want to use one word to describe this power, it can only be "great".

Snape had the urge to bow down. In front of this power, the figure that once frightened him seemed to become insignificant.

"Is this?" Snape swallowed and stuttered a bit as he asked.

"This is [Angel]. Severus is the child of this [world]. Our world is giving birth to her. It is shocking. This is really a supreme power."

Dumbledore admired him in admiration for a while, then slowly turned around and asked Snape, "How is Robert?"

"Everything is business as usual. He doesn't seem to have noticed anything."

"No, he must have discovered it. After all, he felt it immediately that day. He has been watching everything in the castle. Haha, there is no movement, which means he is ready. Severus, we may have a fight. A bad battle is about to begin.”

"What? Are you saying that he will just break up?"

"The Holy See will not miss this opportunity." Dumbledore shook his head: "Although no lives will really be lost, the battle is inevitable."

"唳——" A phoenix chirped, and Dumbledore's old phoenix Fawkes suddenly appeared in the room. It flew around the room and then landed on top of Snape's head.

Dumbledore smiled: "Take it with you, Snape, we may need the help of some friends"
