Defensive and Charming

The dueling room would be nice, but didn't he just spend four months in St. Mungo's? Connor's train of thought only led him to bad ideas. Normally he would have loved to do something like that, but going to the dueling room would make him feel guilty if he caused Bertie to have to the Hospital Wing on Hogwarts. Or worse yet, back to St. Mungo's. Trickery was always up Connor's sleeves, but not cruelty. "Bertie, would you be alright going there? I don't want any accidents happening..." he said. But what else was he going to do if he couldn't master the knockback jinx? He desperately wanted to be able to do that; he could play so many tricks on people! But he knew he had to be careful because if he did it, everybody would know it was him. Peeves the Poltergeist would probably approve of Connor a great deal; with the exception that Connor isn't an obnoxious being. Digressions aside, he knew he needed to master the knockback jinx so he would get good marks on his upcoming exam, so he would be able to be admitted to his second year.
