Connor's Hogwarts

Connor stood here alone, staring at the constantly changing suspended stairs below.

"17, 18, 21" Connor murmured, his tone full of disbelief: "It's unbelievable that there is really an extra staircase."

As mentioned before, there are a total of 142 flying stairs in Hogwarts Castle, which are distributed in five towers. The remaining four towers have 30 and 31 stairs, and only the west tower has 20 stairs.

Moreover, the changing pattern of the stairs in the West Tower remains unchanged throughout the year, but now the sudden appearance of the stairs has completely broken the original pattern.

"I just discovered it too. When I passed by here today, I noticed that there was a problem with the change of the stairs. After careful observation, I realized that there was an extra staircase."

In the picture frame behind Connor, Conan pushed the reflective black-rimmed glasses, and said: "This shows that the stairs in the west tower are actually part of the Hogwarts staircase change system. The assumptions we made on the other four parts of the stairs alone are all It can be overturned."

Connor shook his head, and said solemnly, "But the stairs at this time last year didn't change, right? Why did there suddenly appear such an extra staircase this year?"

"Last year there was none, and I can prove it. As for why there is a change this year, I think the answer is already obvious"

"You mean the leap month?" Connor raised his eyebrows.

That's right, this year is 1992, and February has 29 days, which is a leap month every four years.

"Yes, it's obvious, isn't it? Only this reason can explain the sudden addition of stairs. I think the change period of this staircase system is not one year, but four years. Year and month are in one-to-one correspondence"

"" Connor was silent for a while, and then shook his head: "No, no, the cycle may be four years, but if the month is really affected by the month, does it mean that the other four towers The number of stair steps corresponds to the month"

"Other months have 30 and 31 days, which is understandable, but this staircase." Connor pointed to the stairs below: "There are only 21 sections, so how to explain this?"

"" Conan didn't speak, he was just an observation tool with no emotions, and reasoning was not his strong point

"And it's not February [-]st now, wait, what date is it today?"

"February ninth."

"Yeah, it's the 21th. If the number of steps really correlates to the month, why does it start changing now instead of at the beginning of the month and this staircase only has 28 knots. Isn't it supposed to be 29 or [-] knots?"

"" Conan pushed his black-rimmed glasses, he didn't want to talk, he was just a tool man

Faced with this strange staircase, everyone fell into deep thought

"Forget it, Conan, go find Helena first, maybe she knows something"

Conan nodded and left the frame, and soon a ghost slowly rose from Connor's feet. Conan was professional in finding someone.

"What do you want me to do?" Helena still looked cold and arrogant.

Connor pointed to the stairs below: "Look for yourself."

Helena looked around, then frowned and said, "Isn't it just an ordinary staircase?"

"Look at the number of stairs."

Helena looked again, put her hands on her shoulders and said, "21 stairs, what's wrong?"

"" Connor took a deep look at Helena, as if looking at an Aqua: "Do you know how many knots this staircase used to be?"

"Ah, who has nothing to do and ran to count the stairs? Are you sick?"

"" Connor opened his mouth, he was at a loss for words, and he didn't know how to complain. Indeed, if it wasn't for the discovery of Conan the tool man, who would look like a dick and run to count the stairs?

In fact, when Connor first came here, he didn't find any difference between the stairs here and before. If he hadn't counted them one by one before, and knew that there were indeed 20 stairs here, Connor couldn't believe that there would be more stairs out of thin air. come out

"Why is there a problem with the number of stairs?" Helena finally sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and asked with a guilty conscience.

Connor raised his forehead: "There used to be only 20 stairs here, but now there is an extra one out of thin air, do you think there is any problem?"

"You've solved the real puzzle." Helena's eyes widened in excitement, not knowing how this ghost came to such a conclusion, Connor gave up struggling in despair.

Connor felt that the stupidest thing he did today was actually wanting to ask this ghost girl for help

Connor turned his head, ignored the stupid ghost, and asked, "Conan, do you know which staircase is new?"

"Well, there, it is the third section from the bottom, and that section of stairs has completely destroyed the original movement law of the stairs."

Connor floated towards that flight of stairs, followed by a noisy translucent ghost. Helena finally figured out the situation, and she chased after him and said, "Did you suddenly appear on this staircase? How could it be possible that I was here?" I have lived in the castle for hundreds of years and have not discovered this situation, are you really lying to me? Have you discovered any other secrets, can you find it?"

"Shut up." Connor turned around and cursed angrily, "You stupid ghost, I don't ask you to help me, can you keep quiet?"

"You..." Helena was so angry that she became transparent, but when she thought about relying on this old man to find the treasure, she dared not speak out. Not a passing Ravenclaw at all."

Connor didn't bother to pay attention to this stupid ghost, he floated to the new section of stairs and observed carefully.

From a distance, this new staircase seems to be no different from other staircases, but after careful observation, you will find that this staircase is indeed "younger" and it seems that it is rarely stepped on. The most obvious difference is that there are no stairs on the stairs. traces of bird poop

On the top of the west tower is the owl shack. This building is rarely visited by wizards, because angels often fall here, and if you don’t pay attention, you may be hit by the bombs of the owl bombers flying back.

Although elves come to clean the stairs every night, it is inevitable that the stairs of this tower will leave traces of being bombed more or less

But this new staircase has no such traces, so it can be seen that this is indeed a new staircase

Now that this has been proved, the next step is to find out what the purpose of this staircase is.

Then Connor got numb, what the hell

Connor walks up the stairs jumps turn and jumps walks down the stairs jumps repeat x3

"What happened to Conan hasn't changed at all?"

"" Conan was also silent for a while, and then said: "There is really no change."

"When did you find out that there is an extra flight of stairs here?"

"An hour ago."

"Then when was the last time you looked at this staircase?"

"Ten twenty-five in the morning the day before yesterday."

"" Connor was stunned, he turned his head stiffly, and looked at Conan: "That means you don't know when the stairs appeared, right?"

"At present, it seems that it is true."

"" Connor felt a pain in his head, he rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "It means that this staircase may have appeared for a day or two, but nothing has happened until now, right?"

"At present, it seems that it is true."

"" Connor sighed: "Well, well, anyway, this is a huge discovery. Maybe I can go to Dumbledore for advice. No, no, I can't go to Dumbledore for everything. He didn’t mention this to me before, so it’s probably not useful to tell him to let me think about it.”

Seeing Connor walking up and down the stairs, talking to himself, Conan and Helena glanced at each other, and neither made any further interruptions.
