Hogwarts Crawler.

Adam found the gift from Cologne and opened it, only to discover that it was a pair of chopsticks!

"This is……"

"These are chopsticks made from unicorn horns!"

Cologne smiled proudly and said:

"The horn of a unicorn can detoxify. You always eat weird things and even plan to cook with magical animals and plants. You won't be afraid of poisoning if you use this pair of chopsticks!"

"Thank you, I like it very much!"

Adam really liked it. What foodie can resist a pair of chopsticks that can detoxify?

But this thing must be very expensive...

"What's your gift for me?"

Cologne asked and shook his head quickly:

"Oh no! Don't tell me yet! I'll take it apart myself after I finish my homework!"

Having said that, Cologne went back to doing his homework.

Adam shook his head and laughed.

Fortunately, he knew Cologne's character very well and knew that the gift he gave would most likely be of high value, so his gift was also very precious. Cologne had so many magical animal products, he should like his gift - a feather of Fox.

It was a surprise he got when he went to play with Fawkes one time. At first he thought he had touched it too hard, but after Professor Dumbledore's explanation he realized that it was a gift from Fawkes because he liked him.

Come to think of it, Mr. Ollivander couldn't have plucked the phoenix tail feathers he used to make his wand from a phoenix. The phoenix has the ability to shed its feathers on its own. He has already collected a lot of them, even a lot of phoenix tears.

Continue opening presents...

The amulet Uther gave was a scarab-shaped amulet, the main body of which was a huge green gem, and it looked very valuable.

Bernard gave Adam a box of spare parts. Adam rummaged through the bottom of the gift box and found the instruction manual. It turned out to be a disassembled Barrett... It was another day when he lamented that his roommate could be punished or handcuffed.

Adam was a little surprised by Eugene's gift. It looked like just a bottle of transparent liquid, but Adam felt a huge magical power from it.

"What is this... a potion?"

Normally potions were not transparent, but Adam cast a Scapin Apparition spell, and it turned out that the liquid in the bottle was not a potion.

"That's a bottle of spring water."

Eugene's voice came from behind Adam. Adam turned around and saw Eugene sitting on the bed, looking like he had just woken up.

"spring?"

"Yes, the Fountain of Good Luck, have you heard of it?"

"The Fountain of Good Luck? I seem to have heard of it somewhere... Ah! Isn't that the fairy tale in The Tales of Beedle the Bard? Bathing in the water of the Fountain of Good Luck can bring people permanent good luck, but in fact the Fountain of Good Luck does not have any magic..."

Cologne's attention was drawn once again.

"You'd better hurry up and write. The professors really assigned a lot of homework this time."

After persuading Cologne to go back and finish his homework, Adam looked at Eugene curiously:

"Is this really the water from the Fountain of Good Luck?"

"I don't know, actually. It's just a fairy tale—although it's a fairy tale for wizards. My parents have spent their entire lives researching these stories and anecdotes. I've hardly ever met them. All I know about them is the things they send back from time to time and the increasing amount of money in Gringotts. I don't even know if they still look the same as the portraits at home."

Eugene sighed. This was the first time he told them about his parents.

"But this might really be the water from the Fountain of Good Luck. Even if it isn't, it must be something else. Otherwise, they wouldn't have deliberately stored this water in the deepest secret vault of Gringotts."

"Hmm? What secret vault? Who's short of money?"

Uther got up from the bed sleepily.

"No, I feel like no one in our dormitory is short of money..."

Adam couldn't help but complain. As Eugene's family background was revealed, it seemed that his family was the poorest in the entire dormitory.

But then he looked at Eugene worriedly:

"Gringotts' secret vault?"

"That's the wizards' bank..."

"I know that. I just want to ask, isn't it a bad idea to give us something that your parents treasured as a gift?"

"It's okay. I grew up with my grandma and I don't have many friends. Before I came to Hogwarts, my grandma took out the bottle of good luck fountain from the secret vault and asked me to take it with me, hoping that I would have good luck and find some friends."

As he spoke, Eugene looked at Cologne, who had put down his pen and was looking at him, at Adam, at Uther, and at Bernard, who was still sleeping, and smiled slightly:

"But before I even used the fountain of luck, I seemed to have found the best friends in the world, so I divided the bottle of luck into four parts and gave them to you, my friends."

Adam tightly grasped the bottle of liquid. Although he didn't know whether this was the water from the Fountain of Good Luck, even if it was, the sentimental value of it exceeded its intrinsic value.

"I will keep it well."

Seeing Adam's expression, Eugene smiled even more brightly:

"Don't take it so seriously. Maybe it's just a bottle of ordinary water. It's common to be cheated in this kind of research."

Having said that, everyone still kept the good luck water that Eugene gave to everyone.

Since Adam was really popular, it was almost noon when they finished opening the gifts. However, the other classmates were just good classmates, and the gifts they gave were basically courtesy gifts. Adam checked that everyone was someone he had given gifts to, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Everyone planned to have lunch together in the auditorium, but just as Adam entered the common room, Ernie stopped him:

"The Weasley twins are waiting for you outside."

"what?"

Adam was stunned, and Ernie thought he didn't remember:

"Those are the twins who won the jackpot last night."

Remember Adam's message before that every student who went to the North Tower got a number? At the dinner, Adam asked Professor Dumbledore and the four deans to draw a number from the number box, one large and four small prizes.

Fred, the older twin brother, was chosen by Professor Dumbledore and won the mysterious grand prize - a replica of the Hogwarts cookie house.

By the way, the number drawn by Professor Snape was Harry's. At that time, Professor Snape looked at his hand as if he was looking at something dirty.

"Why are they looking for me... I'll go take a look. You guys go to the auditorium first."

"Okay~ We'll save a good seat for you!"

Chapter 31 The Weasley Brothers' Invitation

Adam found the twins near the stairs. They were well behaved and did not wait at the entrance of the Hufflepuff dormitory.

"What do you want to see me for?"

"Oh! Adam, you are finally here, my friend!"

One of the twins' eyes lit up when he saw Adam, and he walked over with his arms open.

Faced with such a warm welcome, Adam couldn't help but take a step back.

"Hey! Fred, you scared him."

George hooked his brother's collar and pulled him back.

"Ahem, alright, let's be reserved then."

Fred cleared his throat, and he and George looked at Adam and said in unison:

"My dear friend, are you interested in joining Fred and George in their great endeavor?"

"...a great cause?"

Adam raised his eyebrows. Aren’t these two just good at playing pranks?

"Yes!"

The two of them took out a bunch of colorful candies like a magic trick:

"These are Fred and George's great inventions!"

Fred picked up a candy and said proudly:

"It only takes one pill and you'll start to have nosebleeds, allowing you to skip classes without a doubt!"

"It's important to note that your health will not be affected in the process, but it's best to pretend to be weak."

George added.

The two then introduced other candies, some that could make people vomit, some that could make people have a fever, and some that could make people coma... They called them quick-acting skipping-school candies.

“How is it? Is it a super great invention? Does it make you want to buy it as soon as you hear about it?”

For most students, this might be a very practical tool for skipping classes, but it was obvious that these two did not do more research on Adam in advance.

"These candies are indeed... quite innovative, so why did you come to me for this?"

Adam suddenly had a bad guess:

"I want to make it clear in advance that I will not help you sell these things. I hope that the food I sell will bring happiness to people."

"Our inventions also bring happiness to people!"

After defending his invention, Fred waved his hand:

"But we're not asking you to help us sell these. In fact, they are far from finished products in our eyes."

"That's right. Although we have given these quick-acting skipping candies various practical effects, their taste is totally different from candy. Even if you smell them, you can quickly find something wrong, not to mention the taste. They are completely lacking the concealment we had planned."

The two brothers sighed in unison:

“We spend almost as much time seasoning them as we do blending their ingredients!”

"Do you want to try it?"

"no thank you."

Adam simply refused the candy handed over by the brothers. He probably guessed why they came to him:

"So you asked me to...spice up these prank props?"

"Right! That's why we came to you, the expert in making candy!"

The two looked at Adam with shining eyes:

"You can even make candies look like Hogwarts! What a genius! If we work together, these quick-acting skipping candies will definitely be very popular!"

"In fact, there is more than that. We have even more good ideas. Unfortunately, we found out from the quick-acting skipping candy that making these things does not only require genius prank ideas, but also requires some other talents, such as cooking skills..."

"With your participation, we can turn more ideas into reality!"

After hearing the last two people's unanimous words, Adam thought for a moment:

"It's not completely impossible. It sounds like this thing is really marketable."

Hearing these words, smiles appeared on the brothers' faces.

"But how much are you going to pay me? You can't let me work for you for free, right?"

"Ahem - of course we can't do such a thing!"

Although they really didn't want Adam to work for them for free, the twins, who were indeed short of money, looked hesitant.

Although they didn't ask about Adam's studies before they came, they obviously asked about Adam's business. Even when Adam was only in Hufflepuff and the price was low, the profitability was exaggerated for them.

After all, although Adam had a small profit before, he sold a lot. Almost all Hufflepuffs were his customers, and Hufflepuff was the college with the most people in Hogwarts.

"Although we don't have much money now, we can give you a share!"

Adam became more interested after hearing this. It seemed that the twins had really thought about this issue carefully, and they could think of using this method to get him to join them.

Are they seriously considering making their hobby of pranking a career in the future?

"You can see the future prospects of the fast-acting skipping candy, right? I believe that once this product is launched, students will rush to buy it!"

"We can use this product as the first project of our cooperation. We will give you 30%... 40% of the profit from each candy! If the cooperation goes well, we can start more cooperation."

It has to be said that what the twins are doing at this time is a bit like an entrepreneur holding a PPT with pie in the sky trying to convince investors, but obviously now the two of them don't even have a PPT, they just rely on their mouths to draw pie in the sky, and they also take the semi-finished product directly in front of Adam, a potential investor, without leaving any clues.

Perhaps it was Adam's store that stimulated them to try earlier and more eagerly to see if they could make a profit through prank props.
