Hogwarts Crawler.

He had been eyeing the time converter for a long time, but it turned out that time-related magic was too complicated. He would study the magic of the Time Card and the Evil Card from time to time, but he never got the hang of it.

He hoped that the wizards' time-turners would allow him to experience and study time magic from another perspective.

If he could master the magic of time, and have the Philosopher's Stone as an energy source, then Adam could be considered stable and infallible. Especially since the time rules in this world are somewhat Schrödinger's - only things observed with one's own eyes are constants, otherwise going back to the past could really change the future!

There were too many people whose deaths Adam had not witnessed personally. Although they had not shown any signs of being exposed over the years, who could say that they were definitely dead?

Not knowing Adam's ambitions and psychological activities, the rest of the roommates were still struggling with course selection. Bernard thought for a long time and chose the same courses as Cologne.

"Besides being able to take Divination classes, I also have some interest in magical creatures, and I can have a companion."

After making the promise, Bernard and Colon high-fived each other across the small round table.

Uther changed the Care of Magical Creatures class to the Study of Ancient Runes. Considering his extraordinary strength, Eugene gave up the Care of Magical Creatures class after some hesitation and chose the same course as Uther.

"Huh? Isn't anyone taking three electives?"

Adam sighed as he looked at the final course selection list for the four of them.

"Why would anyone choose four elective courses..."

Facing the looks from his roommates, Adam shrugged.

It goes without saying that divination is a common subject. Arithmetic divination is just mathematics. How could it be harder than university advanced mathematics? If it is not about studying the magic of numbers, then at most it is probability theory. He is a man who can pass real variable function in one go!

In the Care of Magical Creatures class, he had the aura of love cards to protect him, and he had already learned a lot of ancient runes from Nicolas Flamel's notes in his spare time...

Four elective courses, sprinkle some water~

"In fact, it is better to choose a subject that is related to your future plans, so that your future graduation certificate will look better."

Adam reminded him, but then thought about the future career direction of these people...

There is no need to say much about Uther, the future Minister of Magic of Egypt, the next Pharaoh in name only but in reality.

Cologne must have inherited the family business. I heard that the rare birds and animals in Hogsmeade have been passed down for several generations. The connections accumulated over generations and the stable supply and demand relationship allow Cologne to have the same income as his parents without having to make any changes.

Among the four, only Eugene and Bernard's future may be uncertain.

Talking about this, Adam and the other two looked at Eugene and Bernard curiously.

"My future... I'm not sure. Maybe I can write a book at home? Or start some business? There's enough money in my family's coffers for me to squander for several lifetimes. I can think about it slowly."

Eugene said uncertainly.

"Well, I want to stay in the wizarding world, but my current understanding of the wizarding world is not enough to plan my future career direction."

Bernard wasn't sure either, so unlike Eugene who was not panicking at all, he reviewed his course selection list again.

"But speaking of this, Adam, why did you choose these four courses? What does it have to do with your shop?"

Cologne asked doubtfully, and suddenly became a little nervous:

"You're not going to change your mind and open a shop anymore, are you?"

As soon as these words came out, the four of them looked at Adam nervously.

"How is that possible? I will definitely open a restaurant in Hogsmeade, and then I will come to you to buy goods~"

Adam comforts Colon.

"By the way, you've chosen four elective courses. Not to mention whether you'll be able to attend them in time, will you still have the time and energy to open a store when the time comes?"

At this time, Eugene's words made Adam stunned.

Yes, although the four courses did not put pressure on Adam, he did have time pressure! He still had to do his homework. He couldn't just write on parchment with a shorthand quill pen while he was opening a shop, right? That would be too miserable!

Emmm...

Although he had already had an idea when he was busy before, he didn't expect to put it into practice so soon...

"Bernard, Eugene, since you haven't figured out what you want to do in the future..."

Adam looked at the two of them:

"Why don't you consider coming to my place and becoming the acting store manager?"

Chapter 82: Small Business, Senior Newt

"Acting store manager...?"

"Yes, acting store manager."

Adam nodded:

"You will run the store for me. I will provide the merchandise, and you can decide the business hours yourself. Just make sure the hours are relatively fixed, twice a week, at least four hours each time, or until all the merchandise is sold out."

"To put it bluntly, you want us to help you run the store, right? No problem~"

Bernard finished speaking and Eugene nodded.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. The salary is paid monthly, 200 gold galleons a month."

"200 Galleons?!"

Eugene and Bernard were somewhat surprised.

“Isn’t it a bit too high?”

Bernard couldn't help but say.

Although he didn't object to Adam paying them a salary, after all, it was not just a one-time or two-time help, but it was still a bit outrageous that the salary of an eight-hour part-time job per week was almost half of his parents' income.

“It’s a bit too high.”

Bernard simply converted the money into pounds, but Eugene had some understanding of the income level in the wizarding world.

Although prices in the wizarding world are very high, with textbooks mostly priced in Galleons and food also expensive, most wizards' salaries are actually not high because basic living expenses do not require too much.

Apart from Dobby's weekly salary of 10 Galleons while working at Hogwarts in the original work, which is probably the minimum salary in the wizarding world, the average monthly income of most full-time working wizards is about 100 to 300 gold Galleons.

Now Adam offers them a salary of 200 gold galleons...

"High? Not really. What I want you to do is not just to collect money for the goods. There are many other things to do. I have considered it carefully."

Adam assured them not to worry, he did not offer such a high salary just because of their relationship.

Bernard and Eugene thought about it and accepted Adam's invitation.

There was really no reason to refuse this salary, and they didn't have anything important to do in their free time. They just played games, watched Quidditch, and occasionally read books. When the Black Lake was not frozen, Eugene would go fishing in it, but that was all.

"Wow, 200 gold galleons a month is easy, I am a little tempted."

Cologne couldn't help but sigh, and Adam looked at him:

"You can come if you are interested~"

It was impossible for Cologne and Uther to continue to be his acting store managers after graduation, but Adam had no objection if they wanted to experience life.

200 gold galleons a month, just a small amount of money.

"I can too?"

Uther asked, raising an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, Adam waved his hand:

“Everyone is welcome!”

"…How much money can you make in a month?"

As far as desserts were concerned, as long as Adam was willing, it would be a completely cost-free business, and the flavors were all good. After so long, the business even spread to the little wizards' relatives who were not in Hogwarts. The little wizards would buy desserts that were easy to store and transport, and then send them by owl.

With this foundation, Adam occasionally held small events to stimulate consumption, coupled with banquet orders from Hogwarts...

Adam smiled:

"It's a small business, I just make a little bit, just a little bit~"

The next day, Adam planned to take the four interns to experience what a store manager would do, but he didn't expect an owl to fly in through the open dormitory door.

There was no way. Today Adam made his own breakfast in the dormitory, and Owl could only wait outside the dormitory door.

Adam glanced at the envelope and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

It’s a letter from Senior Newt!

The existence of the portrait was somewhat special. Even if there was a connection, Adam couldn't use the portrait as a mouthpiece to talk to Newt himself. Therefore, after Adam got Newt's address through the portrait, he sent him a letter. He didn't expect to get a reply so soon.

"Is there something wrong? We're not in a rush. You won't be free until next school year anyway. We have plenty of time before then."

Although the salary was not low, no one really cared about the position of acting store manager...it was mainly to help Adam share the time pressure.

"Well, let's do it some other time. Senior Newt wrote me a reply."

"Senior Newt...Senior Newt?!"

Cologne's eyes lit up:

"Is it Newt Scamander, the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? My whole family is his fan!"

Eugene also looked at Adam with shining eyes.

"Yeah, that's right, so I have to check it out quickly."

The event was cancelled, Uther and Bernard went to play, and Cologne and Eugene stayed to find out what Adam and Senior Newt talked about.

They didn't read Adam's letter. When Adam sat down to open the envelope and read the letter, the two of them sat opposite Adam and waited eagerly.

"…Senior Newt is really a very pure person."

After reading the entire letter, Adam couldn't help but sigh that the tone of the letter was not like that of an old man at all. It was full of vitality and love for magical animals.

After sighing, Adam looked at Cologne and Eugene:

"There's not much in the letter. Senior Newt said he had a lot to say and was curious about the basilisk, so he'll come over after he's settled the magical creatures at home. Calculating the time... he should be on his way to Hogwarts now."

In fact, Adam's speculation still had some errors. There was no way. Although Newt's owl had been replaced a long time ago, it was already a bit old.

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!

In fact, Newt himself arrived at Hogwarts before his owl, but he went to see Professor Dumbledore first.

As a result, this trip is a road of no return...

"Professor Dumbledore, I really can't teach the children Defense Against the Dark Arts... I'm not good at it at all."

Newt said helplessly:

"I didn't even graduate from Hogwarts. If it was Care of Magical Creatures, then..." It was more logical.

"Then it's Care of Magical Creatures! It's settled!"

Professor Dumbledore is waiting here. His original intention was not to let Newt be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He is over 90 years old. What if something really happens?

He was previously worrying about the choice of professor for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but then Professor Kettleburn submitted his resignation, and he was suddenly overwhelmed.

I didn't expect Newt to come to my door at this time. It's really timely relief!

Newt opened his mouth. No, what did he want to say just now...

"But I am already 95 years old this year, and I am no longer able to teach children."

"It's okay. I can find a few people to be your teaching assistants. There is no one in the world more suitable to teach the Care of Magical Creatures course than you!"

Seeing that Newt still wanted to refuse, Professor Dumbledore sighed:

"You should have heard of the rumor that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is cursed? Last year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor died, and this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor turned himself in... Now the original Care of Magical Creatures professor has suddenly resigned. I have to find two professors in less than six months. I'm under a lot of pressure here."

"Please help me again, Newt. Just for a year. At least give me time to find a candidate."

If Newt still refuses, Professor Dumbledore won't really force him to stay, but he will have to let Rubeus Hagrid take over. Although the teaching quality of the Care of Magical Creatures class cannot be guaranteed, at least the professor's character is guaranteed enough.

Chapter 83 As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

Finally, Senior Newt relented and agreed to take the Care of Magical Creatures class for one semester, but he needed to prepare.

For example, going back to take those magical creatures that couldn't leave him for long, and explaining to his family - mainly Tina - why he had originally said he was going away for only a few days but now had an extra job.
