Hogwarts Crawler.

On the way back to the dormitory, Adam was asked countless questions about the secret room by his classmates. Adam had only one answer:

"Professor Dumbledore asked me to keep it a secret. Maybe you can ask Professor Dumbledore?"

The other little wizards had no way to deal with the badger who was determined to abide by the agreement, but there was no doubt that the problem of the Chamber of Secrets had been solved - it was impossible that the extra house points that Hufflepuff suddenly had were used by Professor Dumbledore to buy candy.

Back in the dormitory, Adam could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but what followed was the looks from his four roommates.

How should I describe that look? It was a bit complicated. It felt like the look that Lin Daiyu gave Jia Baoyu, and it made Adam's non-existent conscience feel a pang of phantom pain.

"Okay, okay, brothers, let me explain first..."

Adam raised his hands in surrender under the gaze of the four people.

The five of them sat down on the small sofa together, and Adam told everyone what had happened before - although he had promised Professor Dumbledore to keep it a secret, it was obvious that his roommates were not within the scope of the agreement, and they were all very tight-lipped people.

Not like some gamekeeper who seemed to have been raised on Veritaserum...

After telling the story, Adam emphasized:

"It's really not that I don't want to take you with me. There's nothing interesting this time, and the basilisk is so dangerous."

"Well, your experience was indeed rather dull."

Bernard sighed with some regret. The so-called secret room turned out to be a sewer, and there was a giant snake in it that could kill anyone it glared at. This was completely different from what he had imagined.

At least there should be various levels that require solving puzzles, and giant golems or magical creatures as guards, right?

After listening to Bernard's speech, Adam felt that if he had been born a hundred years earlier, if he could have met a fifth-grade transfer student, perhaps he would have been able to see what he wanted to see.

"So, where's the basilisk? Can we take a look at it?"

Eugene was somewhat curious about what the legendary basilisk looked like. Adam thought about it:

"Wait until I dig out the basilisk's eyes and show them to you."

The snake monster that is going to be put into the pot will be killed anyway, so why not let them take a look?

"Well, forget it. Isn't it a bit..."

Cologne frowned and spoke, then heard Adam say:

"It's okay, it's going to be put into the pot anyway."

"Then let's take a look."

Cologne immediately changed his words and swallowed his saliva.

As for the basilisk's deadly venom...it doesn't matter, he believes Adam will be able to handle it. If not, he still has chopsticks made of unicorn horns!

He knew that he would need this thing one day, and Christmas was approaching, so he might as well give everyone this kind of chopsticks as gifts this year.

I solved all the gifts except Adam in one go, yeah~(＾－＾)V

Then they discussed the time to go to the Forbidden Forest. It had been delayed for so long, and if they didn’t go now it would have to be the next year!

"Why don't we go during the Christmas holidays?"

Uther suggested,

"I have to do homework during the week, so it always feels a bit too rushed to squeeze in time to go on the weekends."

Although it was an adventure, they didn't have much of a purpose. It was more like a trip to the forbidden forest. It would be a real letdown if they had to remember to go back and do their homework.

"But wouldn't it be unsafe to enter the forbidden forest on a snowy day..."

Eugene frowned.

"It will snow even if we go tomorrow, everyone. It's already December."

Bernard sighed.

Eugene and Cologne, who had repeatedly postponed the date of their meeting in the Forbidden Forest due to personal reasons, were speechless, so the time to go to the Forbidden Forest was officially set.

"Don't worry, I am sure I can protect everyone's safety this time."

Adam, who had already practiced protective magic to the point where he could provide shields for other people, patted his chest and said.

The next day, the atmosphere of the entire Hogwarts changed quietly. The threat of the Chamber of Secrets was lifted, the dark clouds that had been shrouding the castle suddenly dissipated, and the little wizards suddenly regained their former liveliness.

The few who were in a bad mood were probably the few Slytherin students who claimed to be pure-bloods and were proud of it.

Before yesterday, they could still hold their heads high and watch those mudbloods living in a state of panic and those half-blood wizards rushing around, but today everything changed.

For this reason, they even launched a boycott of Adam's products, trying to make Adam, who caused all this, suffer heavy losses. However, not many people responded. After all, not all Slytherins are pure blood.

On the contrary, after this news was spread by unknown person, those originally frightened non-pure-blood young wizards immediately ran to Adam's store to buy things. On the one hand, it was to vent their emotions, as their previous fears did require the comfort of sweets, and by the way, it was also to show their support for Adam.

The result was that Adam did not suffer heavy losses as the Slytherins had wished, but his turnover kept rising and he was almost making a lot of money.

"I think I know why so many businesses like to stir up conflict. It's really about making money! Unfortunately, I don't really value money. Making money has become a problem for me now."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Adam was busy from opening the shop to closing it. After closing the shop, he felt a little tired for a rare time and sighed:

"Opening this store is the thing I regret the most. I was happiest when I was selling snacks with just a shoulder bag. Unfortunately, I can't go back now..."

Cedric, who had bought the last serving of sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root nearby, felt a toothache when he heard this.

Forget it, eating the candy made by Adam won’t cause tooth decay. This must be an illusion caused by too many Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. I quickly drank a sip of honey tea to moisten my teeth…

The honey tea, which had exceeded the sweetness limit due to the strong request of the classmates, was still able to burst out enough sweetness between the lips and teeth under the suppression of osmanthus candied lotus root, smoothing Cedric's frown.

"Did you hear that, Adam?"

"What did you hear?"

Adam, who had tidied up the dining cart, turned around and saw Cedric leaning over to him and whispering:

"Professor Lockhart said in today's class that he already knew where the Chamber of Secrets was and what the monster inside was... And it was thanks to his teachings that you were able to solve the monster in the Chamber of Secrets..."

"…It seems that his injuries have healed completely."

Adam narrowed his eyes. Normally, he didn't care much about rumors, but why was Lockhart so hated?

Just after releasing The Grudge on his roommates, Adam was considering whether to get into the movie business. If so, how realistic should he make it so as not to be too extreme?

Lockhart just happened to come across, so let Professor Lockhart do the experiment, oh no, just experience it.

Why not start with the 8D Conjuring series joint edition~

Chapter 74: Second Journey to the Forbidden Forest

The study life at Hogwarts passed quickly for most young wizards. With another heavy snow, Adam welcomed his second Christmas at Hogwarts.

"Students, calm down, calm down."

With last year's experience, this year the little wizards stretched their claws to the various decorations on the table as soon as they stepped into the hall. Professor Dumbledore quickly stopped them:

"I hope everyone's table won't be too messy by the end of the dinner, okay?"

"No problem, Professor Dumbledore!"

The twins' answer could be heard even by the Hufflepuffs, but the next second they took the vase in front of them away.

"you?!"

Under Ron's stunned gaze, the two smiled brightly at him:

"Little Ronnie, let's finish the whole vase of flowers--"

"Wouldn't it save the mess on the table?"

As they talked, they divided the bouquet of flowers and smashed the vase with a metal spoon.

The flowers are flower-flavored cloud cakes, the branches are Pocky cookies filled with hazelnuts, and the vases are sweet and light mint candies.

"Oh, by the way, we heard from Adam that this year's table is actually edible!"

"Yes, we can swear in the name of Magic Wheezes!"

Ron hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't help his curiosity. Besides, considering the status of Magic Wheezes in Fred and George's hearts, they shouldn't lie...

"Ouch——"

Ron's eyes lit up as he took a bite on the corner of the table!

Although it’s hard to chew, the texture is obviously not wood... it’s really edible!

Harry looked at him, hesitant to speak. Ron was only thinking about the status of Wizard Wheezes in the twins' hearts. Has he ever thought about what Wizard Wheezes does?

After great effort, Ron finally gnawed off a corner of the table, chewed it with anticipation... and then his whole face slowly wrinkled.

"What is this... Ugh—"

Ron stuck out his tongue, which was covered with a black, sticky substance.

"One hundred percent pure chocolate—"

“We promise you it’s edible!”

The twins looked at each other, with identical smiles on their faces, and clapped their hands.

“It’s just that not everyone can accept the taste!”

“Sometimes I really wonder how many kinds of food Adam has in his head?”

Cedric's mouth was stuffed full of strawberry daifuku and his voice became unclear.

"What you should be curious about is how many kinds of delicious food there are in this world."

As Adam spoke, he reached out and grabbed a gingerbread man that ran past him and threw it into his mouth.

Mm~it tastes like brown sugar.

In a warm atmosphere, the Christmas party was more than half over when Cologne suddenly spoke:

"Eh? I was wondering why something felt a little off. It turns out that Professor Lockhart isn't here..."

"Why mention him so seriously? Isn't it just right that he doesn't come?"

Bernard looked unhappy when he heard the name.

"I'm just a little curious. Generally speaking, this guy won't miss any opportunity to attract everyone's attention..."

Cologne thought about it and felt that it was indeed unlucky, so he continued to turn his attention to the golden and crispy red bean pie in front of him.

As for Lockhart... He is currently dating his new female fans, Annabelle, Nun Nun, and Myrona. I guess he won't be able to spend the holiday with them.

The hero who secured a normal Christmas holiday for everyone shrugged his shoulders and hid his identity.

On the second day of the banquet, everyone slept in. In the afternoon, some played wizard chess by the fireplace, some read books, and some practiced spells.

After dinner, everyone gathered again in Adam's dormitory, and their destination was the Forbidden Forest!

"Adam, are you done? I always feel that this posture is a bit embarrassing..."

Under the fill light of the signboard, Cologne, who was half-squatting with one hand on the ground, spoke silently.

"I also……"

Uther leaned sideways, supporting his elbow with one hand and resting his other index finger on his forehead as if in deep thought, with half of his face in shadow.

"Oh, it will be done soon. Come on! Three-two-one-"

As the flash went on, the poses of the five people were frozen on the film.

"call--"

Eugene put down his hand, let out a long breath, and rubbed his cheek:

"I suddenly feel a little regretful. Will it look embarrassing when it's washed out?"

"Oh, how could that be? Everyone is so handsome!"

Adam waved his hand and ran over to put away the camera. With the magic of the small card, the camera with a tripod could be put away in a small compartment in the bag.

“I didn’t take any pictures when I visited the Forbidden Forest last time, but the scenery is even better this time~”

"I hope I won't encounter the Acromantula again this time..."

Bernard sighed. That kind of thing really ruins the adventure experience.

"Don't worry, I brought a secret weapon to deal with the Acromantula this time, so it won't be a problem even if we really encounter it."
