Hogwarts Crawler

Coming out of Gringotts and standing at the door of Flourish and Blotts, which was still crowded, Adam remembered that he should stay in Gringotts for a while longer.

He was so dazzled by the treasures in the secret vault that he even forgot that there was a liar here who was trying to cheat him out of money.

Fortunately, there were fewer people in the bookstore at this time, so at least it didn't delay his normal book purchases. Just as Adam was checking out a new textbook, a figure jumped out from the darkness-

"Ha!"

"Cologne, you haven't left yet."

Adam was not surprised at all when Cologne grabbed his shoulder. If he hadn't noticed that Cologne had been bounced out by the shield at this time.

"Of course not, my mother is still queuing over there!"

"...Auntie is still queuing?"

"Yes, those who have signed in now are those who have been queuing here since early in the morning."

Ah, this...

Adam had a clearer understanding of Lockhart's popularity.

"Eh? Adam, why did you only buy one?"

"I've already bought the other books."

Cologne was surprised:

"You like Lockhart, too?"

"The plots in his books are still very exciting."

"Then I have good news, do you want to know?"

"Good news?"

Adam raised his eyebrows:

"Did your Niffler give birth?"

"Oh, not yet, it will take a few months, don't worry... No, not this, it's good news about Lockhart!"

"Oh..."

Adam's tone was a little disappointed:

"What is that?"

"Lockhart is our next Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!"

"Oh..."

Seeing Adam's reaction, Cologne was a little disappointed:

"What? You really don't seem to be interested in Lockhart... Do you want to hear the gossip that happened here before?"

"Gossip? Tell me in detail!"

"It was in this bookstore before that the twins' father and old Malfoy had a fight!"

"Oh?!"

Adam's eyes widened slightly.

He actually guessed it when he saw the banner, but it shouldn't be such a coincidence. He didn't expect it to be today...

It's a pity that he missed the opportunity to see the Horcrux up close.

He actually had a doubt. What would happen if magic like the Gum Card, which directly changes matter, was used on the Horcrux?

Would Voldemort's soul turn into sweets?

Or what kind of effect would other Clow Cards have on the Horcrux?

Can the counter-curse of the Horcrux be analyzed?

Wait, wait, wait...

The diary Horcrux should be in Ginny's hands now, and it also indicates that there will be an uncontrollable danger in Hogwarts next - the basilisk!

Unlike the first year's challenge with Professor Quirrell and the trapdoor on the fourth floor, where you can basically avoid danger as long as you hide, the basilisk in the second year will move along the drainage pipes of the entire castle. Adam can't guarantee that anyone will not encounter a basilisk or that a place will be safe.

If he hadn't gotten the Clow Cards, Adam should have considered taking a leave of absence at this time, but now...

Adam couldn't help but start to think about whether it would lead to uncontrollable developments if he killed the basilisk in advance. Professor Dumbledore is still strong and healthy now, so there should be no problem, right?

Hiss, thinking about it this way, if I catch this basilisk in advance... there will be no problem, right?

You know, the basilisk is not a magical animal born through normal reproduction. In this era, there may be only this one basilisk left in the world. Senior Newt, who is well-informed, may not have seen this one!

"Doesn't it sound exciting? And they both just used their fists to fight! They even knocked down a few bookshelves!"

"It was really exciting."

Adam sighed, regretting that he was not there at the time. If he had gotten the diary, many things would have been more controllable.

Speaking of Malfoy, Draco and his followers were frequent customers of his store. After all, Draco was rich and his followers were greedy.

In the novel, this guy was a complete bad guy, and he was forced to reform in the end, but the movie may have considered that it was aimed at children and the influence of the movie was greater than the novel, or perhaps the actor's appearance brought popularity to this character, so the plot of this character was finally changed a little.

For example, when assassinating Dumbledore, in the novel, Draco simply didn't have the ability, but in the movie, he showed his inner struggle.

In short, Adam's impression of him was not too bad.

Especially when he opens a restaurant in the future, these vain nobles will only need to provide them with some additional things that have no practical significance or value.Services can often charge a large amount of extra fees.

After paying the bill quickly, Adam was about to go back, but was stopped by Cologne:

"It's really boring here. Come chat with me. I'll treat you to ice cream!"

Adam had no choice but to stay with Cologne in Flourish and Blotts for a while. After that, the two of them ate a bowl of ice cream sprinkled with nuts before saying goodbye and leaving.

"Maybe the convenience store can also put ice cream and other frozen products on the shelves."

On the way back, Adam thought so.

...

After that day, time seemed to be controlled by the time card and flew forward rapidly. When Adam buried his head in Spi's belly, it seemed like he was still in the last second, but when he raised his head, school was about to start.

Oh, I can still pet cats in Hogwarts, so it's okay.

After politely declining the idea of ​​his grandparents coming here to send Adam to school, Adam took Mr. Reed's car to King's Cross Station.

"Adam, study hard in school and your business will be prosperous~"

Mr. Reed joked before getting off the car.

Because of Adam, Mr. Reed and Ms. Li were a little busy some time ago. Many people in strange clothes came to their store. They were very skilled in ordering food, but many of the dishes they ordered were not available in their store, and they didn't know how to record and report the money they paid in the end.

After some inquiries, the two learned that their son's business was booming in school.

"You are worthy of being my son!"

In addition to being proud, Ms. Li was also a little worried about whether her son's business in school was not good.

It's not that she was worried about her academic performance. If she really wanted to focus on this, then Adam's transcript of all Os would be enough to dispel her concerns.

Mainly in the process of doing business, purchasing, pricing, publicity, competition... too many conflicts of interest made the business itself inevitably tainted with some things that she didn't want her son to be exposed to too early, even if these would be exposed to her son sooner or later.

Although Ms. Li doesn't like studying, she has to admit that the time in school was the cleanest and purest time in her life. She doesn't want her son to lose this experience that he will never have the chance to make up for once he misses it.

Relatively speaking, Mr. Reed is much more optimistic. Anyway, it's already like this, and his son's business is still doing well, so let's continue to do it. Who can say that a simple campus life is definitely better?
