Hogwarts Crawler.

It’s not that she’s worried about her academic performance. If she really cares about that, then Adam’s transcript with all O’s 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 did not want her son to be exposed to too early, even though her son would be exposed to these things sooner or later.

Although Ms. Li does not like studying, she has to admit that the time spent in school was the cleanest and simplest time in her life. She does not want her son to lose this experience which once missed would never have the chance to make up for.

Relatively speaking, Mr. Reed is much more optimistic. Anyway, things have already happened and his son's business is doing well, so he might as well continue with it. Who can say that a simple campus life is definitely better?

Chapter 54: A small episode on the way to school

Before the express train departed, Adam was quickly surrounded by the little badgers who had not seen each other during the holiday, and they all shared their holiday experiences.

"Adam, why aren't many of the foods available in your restaurant?"

This is probably the question Adam is asked most often, and Adam can only explain that those are the specialties of his place, so don't ask, just tell him whether they taste good or not.

Those who have experienced it with their families: Emmm, it is indeed delicious.

Adam didn't open the store on the grounds that he couldn't perform magic at home and hadn't prepared any merchandise, so after the express train departed, everyone went their separate ways, and Adam and his friends found a private room in the dormitory to hold a small meeting.

"Brothers, I thought about it carefully after I got back, and it turns out that we didn't pick the right time last time."

Bernard whispered:

"This time we'll go at night. The five of us will hold lanterns and look for the Moon Crazy Beast's footprints under the moonlight. It will definitely create a special atmosphere!"

"Aren't you afraid that we will step into the territory of the Acromanthus again under the moonlight?"

Cologne looked conflicted. He didn't want to experience the feeling of disturbing the eight-eyed giant spider again.

"Didn't we already know where the Acromantula's nest is last time? We just need to avoid it this time."

Bernard stroked his chin and said:

"Besides, we had no experience last time. After I went back, I thought about it. When we didn't find any traces of magical animals along the way, we should have realized that the direction was wrong."

That's true...

"Besides, we didn't see any of these animals, such as unicorns, centaurs, and moon-crazy beasts, last time. Don't you feel regretful?"

Bernard stretched out his hands in both directions:

"If all else fails, we still have these thighs to cling to, and do you have a broom with you? If you can't beat us, just run away!"

The three people whose shoulders were held looked at each other and nodded.

"Well……"

Cologne thought for a while. Forget about unicorns and moonbeasts, but even he had never seen a magical animal like a centaur.

As for the safety issue, what Bernard said seemed to make sense.

"Okay! Let's go check it out some other time!"

"What are you going to see?"

The carriage door was flung open, revealing the curious faces of the twins.

"Go check the kitchen."

Adam readily conjured up a table of desserts:

"What's wrong? What do you want from me?"

"Haha! We knew it!"

"Adam you definitely have some stock left for yourself!"

The twins unceremoniously reached out and grabbed a candy and threw it into their mouths:

"Nothing, we just came to take a look!"

"By the way, could you tell me about your business plan after school starts?"

During this holiday, the list of books sent from Hogwarts made the Weasley family, who were already not well-off, even more poorly off.

Although Mrs. Molly liked Lockhart very much, her liking for him obviously would not make Lockhart's books cheap. Every child who was still studying at Hogwarts had to buy seven copies, not to mention that the youngest child, Ginny, would be entering school this year. This would be a considerable burden on the Weasley family's finances.

At this time, the twins felt an extraordinary sense of accomplishment as they were able to come up with some money so that Ginny didn't have to buy second-hand goods and the family expenses didn't have to be reduced.

As for the small questions that Mrs. Molly asked them about what they were doing in school when they didn't study hard, the twins, who received the admiring eyes of their sister, said they would just sprinkle some water on them.

Adam thought about it:

"Let's do it on the first Saturday afternoon. By the way, I also plan to try out the new product for the first time on that day. The weather is so hot, I think I can make some ice cream."

When Adam's shop was completed last year, the weather had already turned cold. When it turned hot again, it was the review period before the exam. Adam never thought of selling some ice cream until he ate ice cream in Diagon Alley during the holidays.

After the twins left, Adam thought the rest of the journey would be dull.

"Have you in the British wizarding world... started researching flying cars?"

Uther looked out the window, his expression confused and a little dreamy, with a kind of beauty that seemed like he was questioning whether he was awake.

Adam, who was playing with a cat toy with candy on the top and a toy, was stunned when he heard the words. He turned his head to look out the window. What caught his eye was a Ford car driving unsteadily outside the window - or to be more precise, in the air outside the window - and barely keeping in the same direction as the express train.

“Wow – this is so cool!”

Bernard's eyes lit up:

"Why aren't there flying cars for sale in Diagon Alley?"

"I think that kind of thing is probably not for sale... because it is most likely illegal."

Eugene said silently.

There were two people in the same dormitory who had only recently been exposed to the wizarding world. One was Egyptian, and the other liked to play and didn't know much about the law. Eugene was the one who had the deepest understanding of the laws of the wizarding world among the five.

"and many more……"

Cologne leaned against the window and stared carefully for a while:

"Am I seeing things? The person in the car seems to be Harry Potter? Who is the other one? I can't see clearly because it's blocked!"

Uther frowned:

"Your savior really brings some surprises to everyone every year."

"I guess he's not trying to attract attention."

Eugene shook his head.

"Look at his expression. It doesn't look like he's excited about successfully attracting attention. Instead, it looks more like he's afraid."

Adam did not participate in the discussion. Seeing this scene, he remembered some details that he had forgotten - there was no way, he couldn't remember everything after so many years - it seemed that there would be something exciting to watch tomorrow morning.

"You just said that thing is illegal, right? Will they be fired?"

Bernard looked at Eugene.

Eugene narrowed his eyes at the Flying Ford outside the window.

He recalled the last school year, the trolls on Halloween, the curses in the Quidditch match, and the inexplicable extra points Harry and his friends got at the end-of-year party...

A series of abnormalities combined together seem to be foreshadowing something.

Eugene spoke slowly:

"I think... probably not."

It was just as Eugene said, they did not receive the news that Harry Potter was expelled. At the same time, his absence from the Sorting Ceremony let everyone who was paying attention to the matter know that the other person in the Flying Ford with Harry was Ron.

"RONALD WEASLEY--!!!"

Mrs. Molly's voice, amplified a hundred times, rang out in the auditorium.

Well, everyone who wasn’t paying attention to this matter should know it now.

Although the noise came from Gryffindor, the exaggerated sound of the Howler still made the cutlery on the Hufflepuff table tremble continuously.

"……what is that?"

Bernard was shocked when he saw such a scene for the first time. Is this some kind of wizard version of a stun bomb?

"The roaring letter has the same effect as you can see..."

Colon wiped his hands and turned to look in the direction of the Gryffindor table with interest.

Although a half-eaten baked potato fell into the cream of mushroom soup, this trivial matter was obviously not worth mentioning compared to the rare excitement of the roaring letter.

Although he wasn't very interested in the breakfast at Hogwarts, Adam, who had come to join in the fun, also looked over when he remembered this.

The Howler continued as, with nearly the entire hall watching, Ron – poor Ronald Weasley himself – buried his face in the plate in front of him.

Chapter 55 Badger is worried about you and made a cake for you

Perhaps because of the school-wide excitement in the morning, everyone was in a good mood.

Well... everything was pretty good until the first class.

"Miss Abbott, I don't think the Flobberworm can slice itself up, huh?"

The low ending tone made Hannah quickly pick up the slicing knife:

"Okay...Okay Professor!"

"Why are you looking at me? Are you waiting for me to help you stir the potion in the cauldron?"

Professor Snape narrowed his eyes and looked at a student who had forgotten to stir the potion because his attention was drawn here.

Professor Snape glanced around the classroom, ignoring a certain outlier very naturally, and slowly walked to the podium:

"I hope that a vacation has not emptied your brains. Otherwise, I can only regrettably fill them up for you in some other way."

Professor Snape showed a hideous smile that made the students shudder:

"It just so happens that I have a new batch of toads and slugs that need to be dealt with."

……

"Phew~ I knew something was wrong when I saw the first bubble appear. Luckily I reacted quickly and remembered that I forgot to put the shrinking fig in. I quickly added it in, and in the end there was no problem with the potion."

After class, Cologne let out a long sigh and could hardly help applauding his own wit.

Otherwise, his name would definitely be among the students who were venomed by Professor Snape just now.

Bernard also breathed a sigh of relief. As a partner, how could he escape when Cologne was criticized?

There was herbology class in the afternoon. Everyone thought that they would be able to be healed by the kind and gentle dean, but unexpectedly they saw Professor Sprout's expression that was obviously not very happy.

"Oh my God, has the school board discovered that Professor Dumbledore embezzled public funds to buy candy and is going to cut off the funding supply to Hogwarts?"

Cologne couldn't help but open his mouth.

Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine why Professor Sprout, who always had a gentle smile all year round, had such an expression.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Uther also frowned as he spoke. Could it be that someone had done something excessive to the dean?

Facts have proved that although the badgers don't seem to have a strong presence in the school on weekdays, they are very efficient when they take action. When the dean was suspected of being bullied, someone had already collected the relevant information before dinner.

"It's that new Professor Lockhart!"

Senior Vivian slapped one of Lockhart's books on the table.

"Well, is there some misunderstanding? After all, what we have collected are just speculations. No one has seen it with their own eyes, right?"

After all, they have not had any specific contact with Lockhart, and most students - especially girls - still have certain fantasies about this new professor.

And normally speaking, it is unlikely that a new professor would offend a dean on his first day on the job, right?

In comparison, they would rather believe that it was some disobedient student who did this, and Professor Lockhart might have just happened to catch up.

"Well, it seems that there is indeed no direct evidence."

Vivian thought about it. Although the information she got from the Gryffindor in the Herbology class in the morning was very indicative, it didn't seem strong enough to say that it was definitely Professor Lockhart's doing.

Although the culprit was not caught, at Adam's suggestion, a few of them who knew each other made a big cake for Professor Sprout as a consolation.
