Hogwarts Crawler.

After listening to their plan, Adam fell into deep thought.

It has to be said that this pie is indeed attractive enough. Even if we put aside the good impression he had of this pair of funny twins when watching the work, this business is a sure win for Adam.

After all, he knew that the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes business would be very popular in the future, especially the quick-acting skipping class candy.

The only problem is that after joining the team, he will have to spend time and effort to be responsible for the seasoning. Is it worth it for him to spend this effort? This is not something that can be easily solved by using Gan's magic. He has no intention of teaching Gan's magic to others. It is impossible for all the candies to be sent to him before leaving the factory, right?

If one only considers profit, then of course it is profitable to spend time flavoring these candies, but to be honest, Adam is not short of money. Even if he does not run a small shop, his parents' restaurant and hotel will be enough for him to live on for hundreds of years, not to mention the Philosopher's Stone that can turn stone into gold.

The twins saw that he made so much money from selling desserts, but in fact, his purpose of selling desserts was just like cooking for himself, and having fun from it was his main purpose of doing these things.

To spice up these mischievous candies…

As Adam thought, his brows furrowed more and more, and the twins' hearts became more and more nervous.

Chapter 32 Don't Tell It To Anyone

Seeing that Adam didn't reply for a long time and was already showing signs of rejection, Fred gritted his teeth and said:

"If you agree, we can give you 60% of the profits from the quick-acting skipping candy!"

George then added:

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

This is already the bottom line of their psychological price.

Adam's thoughts were interrupted by the two people's words, 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 had in some sense stimulated Fred and George. They felt that their brilliant ideas could also be monetized, so they accelerated the research and development of the quick-acting skipping candy. As a result, the price of the quick-acting skipping candy's early release was that the brothers' already tight funds were further strained.

In other words, they might, probably, possibly... have to borrow some more money from Adam to produce the first batch of finished products after the development of the quick-acting skipping candy is completed. However, they are afraid of scaring Adam away now, so they didn't tell Adam everything at once.

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

It has to be said that the fact that the development of the quick-acting candy for skipping classes was not as smooth as expected was a big blow to them, causing both of them to lose some confidence.

With all the above and the subsequent research and development of the fast-acting candy for skipping classes, what they need now is a partner with sufficient experience in dessert making and store management as well as sufficient funds.

To put it more bluntly…if they still want to carry on with their dream business as soon as possible, they must gain Adam’s cooperation.

"..."

Seeing that in addition to the anxiety in the two people's eyes, there was also a flicker of expectation for their dreams, Adam thought for a while:

"Okay, we can try to cooperate on the quick-acting candy for skipping classes."

"awesome!"

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

"Wait, don't be so happy just yet. I need a detailed plan, such as how high you plan to control the cost of the quick-acting skipping candy, the target population, etc., and we also need to sign a contract for the specific matters of cooperation."

Seeing Adam's professional attitude, the twins nodded and said it was no problem.

"We'll give you what you want before tomorrow night~"

"See you!"

Adam shook his head as he watched the two people running away. That was not something that could be completed in one day. He would know when they both wrote it.

After rushing to the auditorium to have lunch, Adam didn't expect to be found again on his way back.

"Adam! Do you remember us?"

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

Adam looked at the trio in front of him, his smile tinged with doubt:

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

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

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

"Ron?!"

Hermione stared at him in disbelief.

"Ah—of course—well, there's something I want to ask you about—do you know Nicolas Flamel?"

Ron suddenly remembered the business and added awkwardly.

"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 Nicolas Flamel, I have never heard of that name."

"Is that so...Okay."

Hermione sighed in disappointment.

She had asked about Adam's recent 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 completely forgot about the investigation during the holiday, their investigation progress is still zero after the holiday. She thinks asking Adam, an excellent student, may give her some clues.

Now it seems that Adam doesn't know either.

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

"It's like this, we previously..."

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

Emmm...

When you say "tell it around", do you mean that if someone asks you about your purpose in finding out about Nicolas Flamel, you will tell them the whole story?

"So if you find any information related to Nicolas Flamel, please let us know."

"……OK."

Adam gave an awkward but polite smile, then quickened his pace with a headache.

"Something strange."

Hermione narrowed her eyes at Adam's back.

"Strange? What's strange?"

"I can't really put it into words... I just have a feeling that Adam must know something about Nicolas Flamel. His reaction was a little too calm."

Hermione looked at Harry:

"Normally, when hearing that Harry's abnormal behavior in the Quidditch match was caused by Professor Snape, he should have had some special reaction, right? But he acted too normal, as if..."

"It's like he knew about this!"

Harry said, clapping his hands.

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

Hermione nodded and looked at Harry and Ron:

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

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

"us?!"

"Or maybe you guys go look for it in the library and I'll go with Adam?"

"Uh...okay."

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

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

……

After that day, Adam was somewhat troubled to find that Harry and Ron often appeared beside him for some reason, but usually only one of them would come to find him, but just follow from a distance.

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

"What's going on with those guys? Do you want us to help you deal with them?"

Even the savior can't bully them, Hufflepuffs!

What's more, he's the Hufflepuff chef!

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

"No need, they mean no harm...I'll take care of it."

It looks like it's time to go find Professor Dumbledore.

When he arrived at the principal's office, Adam was surprised to find that the passwords he usually used for the principal's office were all wrong.

Could it be that it was replaced by some dessert I made?

Adam had no intention of performing a dish-calling performance 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...so he had to find another way.

Once, when Ron was trying to follow Adam quietly, a figure suddenly jumped out and hugged his neck:

"Hey! Ron, it's been a while. Are you interested in trying the new candy my brother has invented?"

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

Chapter 33 The Contract Changed Again and Again

After being caught by the Weasley twins several times and experiencing various tortures such as vomiting and nosebleeds, Harry and Ron also realized that the two seemed to be stopping them from following Adam.

However, just when they were indignant and were about to tell Hermione the news after the effect of the drug wore off, Hermione found them happily:

"I found news about Nicolas Flamel! Um, what are you doing..."

Hermione glanced at their faces suspiciously.

"Ahem, it's okay."

Harry calmly replaced the tissue that was blocking his nose. The white tissue was soaked with blood at a speed visible to the naked eye:

"Let's talk about Nicolas Flamel!"

……

"That's it."

Adam finally entered the headmaster's office again and caressed Fawkes' body with professional skills. At the same time, he shared with Professor Dumbledore about Harry and Ron's abrupt tracking of him and the end of their tracking during this period.

"I think they've probably found out about Nicolas Flamel on their own. Sorry, Professor Dumbledore."

"No, no, no, kid, you have nothing to apologize for. You kept our agreement, didn't you?"

Professor Dumbledore smiled very kindly.

"Maybe. I'm just a little worried about the Philosopher's Stone."

"Sometimes children just have a very persistent desire to explore. It may not be a bad thing to indulge them appropriately. As for the Philosopher's Stone..."

Professor Dumbledore winked at Adam:

"Don't worry, I will protect it."

I believe you!

Suddenly, Adam paused stroking Fox's hand, and very skillfully put the naturally fallen phoenix feather into his pocket. Then he took out a piece of malt bamboo rice cake from his pocket and fed it to Fox to supplement its nutrition.

Professor Dumbledore's eyes twitched slightly at the smooth movement.

After feeding Fawkes, Adam said goodbye and left. Professor Dumbledore looked at the old fellow who jumped back onto the shelf after Adam left with some resentment, and stretched out his hand tentatively, with a piece of sizzling honey candy lying in his palm.

Fawkes took a look, ignored Dumbledore, and turned his head away silently.

After coming out of the Headmaster's office, Adam ran into the Weasley twins on his way back to his dormitory.

"Hey, Adam! We completed your commission perfectly~"

"So, the plan we gave you last time..."
