Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

Seeing that Adam didn't reply for a long time and was already inclined to refuse, Fred gritted his teeth and said:

"If you agree, we can give you 60% of the profit from the quick-acting skip-the-school candy!"

George added:

"No more, we must at least recover the research and development funds for quick-acting skip-school candy."

This is already the bottom line of their psychological price.

Adam's thinking was interrupted by the words of the two people, and he looked at the twins in front of him in surprise.

What he didn't know was that the existence of his small shop stimulated Fred and George in a sense. They felt that their genius ideas could also be monetized, so they accelerated the research and development of quick-acting skipping candy. As a result, the quick-acting skipping candy was ahead of schedule. The price of its appearance is to make the brothers' already poor funds even worse.

In other words, they might, probably, might... have to ask Adam to borrow another fund to produce the first batch of finished products after the development of quick-acting truant candy is completed. But now they are afraid of scaring Adam away, so they don't tell them everything at once. Adam.

In addition, Fred and George had to consider that no one could guarantee whether the quick-acting truant candy would really sell well. They needed a senior with business experience to help them.

It has to be said that the previous development of quick-acting skipping candy did not go as smoothly as expected, which was a big blow to them, causing their confidence to be somewhat frustrated.

Coupled with the above and the follow-up research and development of quick-acting truant candy, what they need now is a partner with sufficient experience in dessert production, store management, and sufficient funds.

To put it more bluntly...if they want to carry out their dream business as soon as possible, they must win Adam's cooperation.

"..."

Seeing that in addition to the uneasiness in their eyes, there was also hope for their dreams, Adam thought for a while:

"Okay, we can try to cooperate on quick-acting skipping candy first."

"marvelous!"

The twins rushed forward and wanted to hug Adam, but Adam put his hand on his shoulder:

"Wait a minute, don't rush to be happy. I need a detailed plan, such as how high you plan to control the cost of fast-acting skip-school candy, the target group, etc. You also need to make a contract for specific cooperation matters. ”

Seeing Adam's very professional look, the twins nodded and took notes and said it was no problem.

"We will give you what you want before tomorrow night~"

"See you later!"

Adam looked at the two people running away and shook his head. That was not something that could be completed in one day. They would know it when the two of them wrote it.

After rushing to the auditorium to finish lunch, Adam didn't expect that he would be approached again on the way back.

"Adam! Do you remember us?"

"Hermione, Ron, and Harry, of course."

Adam looked at the trio in front of him with a bit of doubt in his smile:

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

The three of them were obviously happy that they still remembered each other after not seeing each other for a long time, especially Ron:

"We want to ask you when your store usually opens."

"Ron?!"

Hermione stared at him in disbelief.

"Ah - of course - ahem, there is something else I want to ask you about - do you know Nico Flamel?"

Ron suddenly remembered the business and added with some embarrassment.

“Except for holidays and special instructions, I will be open in the North Tower every Saturday afternoon.”

After answering Ron's first question, Adam looked at Hermione:

"As for Nico Flamel, I have not heard of that name."

"Is this...okay."

Hermione sighed in disappointment.

She had inquired about Adam's current situation before. Unlike the twins who were more concerned about Adam's business, Hermione paid more attention to Adam's studies.

Thanks to two guys who forgot about the investigation during the vacation, their investigation progress was still 0 after a vacation. She thought that asking Adam, the top student, might give clues.

Now it seems that Adam doesn't know either.

"Can I ask why you are looking up this name?"

"That's right, we used to..."

What shocked Adam was that Harry and the others did not hide anything from him, and directly told him the whole thing they were investigating, adding at the end "Don't tell it casually".

E…

By saying this casually, you mean that when someone asks you about your purpose of asking about Nico Flamel, do you tell the whole story?

"So if you find any information related to Nico Flamel, remember to tell us."

"……OK."

Adam smiled awkwardly and politely, and then ran away with a headache.

"Something strange."

Hermione narrowed her eyes as she looked at Adam's back.

"Strange? What's strange?"

"I can't tell...it's just a feeling that Adam should know something about Nico Flamel, and his reaction was a bit too bland."

Hermione looked at Harry:

"Normally speaking, when you hear that Harry's anomaly in the Quidditch match was caused by Professor Snape, you should have some kind of special reaction, right? But he acted too normal, as if... "

"It's like he already knew about it!"

Harry said as he clapped his hands.

"That's right! It seems we have found some clues..."

Hermione nodded and looked at Harry and Ron:

"You two, take turns following Adam and see if you can find any clues."

"We?!"

"Or you go to the library and I'll follow Adam?"

"Uh... okay."

Harry felt dizzy just thinking about the words all over his eyes, so it would be more convenient to follow Adam.

Ron looked at Hermione and then at Harry, thinking that they were probably too sensitive, but he had no good ideas, so he could only remain silent.

...

After that day, Adam was a little troubled to find that Harry and Ron often appeared beside him for some reason, usually only one of them, and they didn't come to find him, just followed from a distance.

After following for a long time, Hufflepuff classmates also found that they seemed to be following Adam. Cedric came to Adam while eating in the hall:

"What's wrong with those guys? Do you want us to help you solve it?"

Even if they are saviors, they can't bully them Hufflepuffs!

Not to mention the chef of Hufflepuff!

Adam glanced at the Gryffindor table and saw the trio eating seriously. He sighed helplessly:

"No need, they have no ill intentions... I will take care of it."

It seems that it is time to find Professor Dumbledore.

As a result, when he arrived at the door of the principal's office, Adam unexpectedly found that the passwords in the principal's office were all wrong.

Could it be that they were replaced with some kind of dessert I made?

Adam didn't intend to perform the name of the dishes at the door of the principal's office. He probably guessed that Professor Dumbledore was either not there or didn't want to see him... Then he had to find another way.

Once, when Ron was trying to catch up with Adam quietly, he was suddenly hugged by a figure who rushed out from the side:

"Hey! Ron, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you interested in trying the new candy that my brother has researched?"

"What are you talking about? Didn't we just meet in the morning? Let me go. I don't have time now. Ugh--"
