Hogwarts Crawler.

"Thank you so much, I knew I could always trust you."

Professor Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Newt:

"By the way, what are you doing here at Hogwarts?"

"..."

Seeing Newt lowering his head but still showing a somewhat speechless look, Professor Dumbledore smiled awkwardly and stretched out his hand to conjure up a plate of candy.

Newt thought Professor Dumbledore wanted to treat him to cockroach piles again, but he found that there were no cockroach piles on the candy on the plate. Instead, there were varieties he had never seen before. Could it be that Honeydukes had launched a new product?

But the kids at home have been buying Honeydukes candies, so why hasn’t he seen these…

"This is the work of a student from Hogwarts. He is now recognized as the best pastry chef and cook in Hogwarts, and he is also a Hufflepuff."

Professor Dumbledore introduced Newt with a smile:

"At the same time, he is also one of the candidates for the teaching assistant I plan to arrange for you. He likes magical creatures very much. I think he will agree. I'm sure you will have a lot in common."

"Oh?"

Newt smiled with interest. This junior is a good cook and also likes magical creatures...

"What's his name?"

"His name is Adam Reed."

???

Newt blinked and hesitated:

"Are there two people named Adam Reed in this school?"

"As far as I know, no."

Professor Dumbledore pondered for a moment and looked at Newt:

"So you're not here this time to..."

"He found me through Mr. Flamel's contact book and told me about the basilisk. You know... I can never resist these cute little things."

Newt turned his head away, a hint of shame in his eyes.

cute?

Professor Dumbledore went over the information about the basilisk in his mind, and a question mark popped up above his head.

……

On the afternoon of the day Newt arrived at Hogwarts, Adam met the senior in the office of the professor of Care of Magical Creatures.

"Senior Newt!"

As soon as Adam saw Newt, he couldn't help but speak louder, which was more like an exclamation than a greeting.

But what can we do? This is Newt Scamander!

"Hello, Adam."

Facing Adam's slightly exaggerated reaction, Newt smiled shyly and nodded, then looked at Adam expectantly:

"Where is the basilisk now..."

"right here."

Adam took out the glass jar containing the basilisk, but did not hand it directly to Newt:

"Although the basilisk has been reduced in size and strength, the toxins in its teeth and the lethality of its sight have not been reduced."

Professor Dumbledore, who was ignored by the two, couldn't help but look at Adam, and a question mark popped up in his head again.

That's not what you said last time you wanted to show me the Basilisk!

"To be on the safe side, I will cast a protective spell on you first. I relied on this protective spell to block the attack of the basilisk before."

Adam put a layer of shield on Newt as he spoke, and then handed the glass jar to Newt. Newt sighed that it was very convenient to have this magic to study magical animals, and then he couldn't wait to unscrew the lid of the glass jar.

Professor Dumbledore: "???"

No... no one cares about my life or death?

When the basilisk was taken out of the glass jar, it closed its eyes. When it felt that it was caught, it just wagged its tail and hissed a few times.

Professor Dumbledore's eyelids twitched. He did not expect that the basilisk could understand human language, but he did not expect that the basilisk would allow someone to catch it and study it for a dish.

However, if the basilisk is willing to sell its body, it must be delicious, right? Pork leg with bones... What kind of dish is that?

"no problem."

Adam agreed immediately. It’s just a piece of pork elbow. Let’s arrange it tonight!

Although Newt loves magical creatures and wanted to observe the basilisk immediately, he knew his priorities. Since he was kept by Professor Dumbledore as a professor, there was no need to rush. He just put the basilisk back into the glass jar after satisfying his curiosity.

"Senior Newt, what's wrong?"

"It's okay. There's no rush for the basilisk. I actually have another more important matter to ask you this time..."

Newt looked at Professor Dumbledore, who had been sitting next to him as a background:

"At the invitation of Professor Dumbledore, I will temporarily take over as the professor of your Care of Magical Creatures course next year..."

"Really?!"

Two exclamations came from outside the door, interrupting Newt's words.

"I, I, let's go now--"

The sound faded away.

"Ahem, those are my roommates... they admire you too."

Adam gave an awkward but polite smile:

"Senior, you probably don't know how popular you are among the Hufflepuffs... You and your works are very popular with everyone."

"Ahem, I'm... glad you like my book... and I... um."

Newt looked even more embarrassed, but finally nodded.

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!

"Cough cough!"

Professor Dumbledore couldn't stand it anymore. After he leaves, it's okay for you Hufflepuffs to hold a fan meeting, but can you please get down to business first?

"Oh, yes! Let's get back to what happened just now."

After being reminded by Professor Dumbledore, Newt quickly returned to the topic:

"As you can see, I am already an old man, and I really don't have enough energy to support seven grades of students..."

Adam immediately cast a disapproving look at Professor Dumbledore.

"There are five grades, and those are only students who are taking the elective."

Professor Dumbledore emphasized.

"Senior Newt is already over ninety years old."

Adam stressed.

How good are the five grades? Even if they only take theory classes, it is still a huge burden, not to mention that it is impossible for the Care of Magical Creatures class to be all theory.

"So, Professor Dumbledore said he could assign me a few teaching assistants, and you're one of them."

Newt looked at Adam and smiled:

"I heard that you also like magical creatures. Do you want to help me?"

"Of course no problem! I've already taken the Care of Magical Creatures class!"

Adam couldn't believe that besides the fact that Senior Newt would teach them next year, there was such a surprise, and he quickly took out the course selection list from his bag.

Professor Dumbledore couldn't help but frown when he saw the course selection list:

"But you've already chosen four courses."

Adam would have to use a time-turner to catch up with his classes, so how could he have the energy...

"I can remove two doors."

Adam did not hesitate to change the check marks on Arithmancy and Ancient Runes into crosses.

As for time turners and the like, they could have waited for Voldemort and the Death Eaters to blow up the Ministry of Magic and taken a few of them. It would only have been a few years later. But if he missed the chance to be Newt's assistant, he would never have the chance again!

What? Voldemort might not blow up the Ministry of Magic?

For things like this, as long as your mindset remains stable, there are always more solutions than problems.

If there is Voldemort, Adam can go. If there is no Voldemort...can't Adam create a Voldemort and then go?

Chapter 84 A Sudden Mood

In the end, Adam successfully obtained the glorious position of Newt's assistant teacher, and before leaving, he recommended several Hufflepuff seniors to Newt.

Senior Newt needs a teaching assistant because he is running low on energy, so every class should at least have one, right?

It’s okay for other classes, but how can a class with Hufflepuff give up this precious opportunity?

"Adam is indeed a great Hufflepuff..."

As if infected by Adam's vitality, Newt couldn't help but smile. He moved the four-fruit soup that Adam left before he left to the front and took a bite with a spoon.

Normally, he doesn't eat sweets much at his age, but Adam said that the sweets produced by him would not burden the body at all, so he certainly had no doubt that they tasted really good.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Professor Dumbledore said quietly as he looked at the bowl of four-fruit soup in Newt's hand.

It's not like he hadn't bought the Four Fruit Soup from Adam before, but Adam's shop only had the original version, which was made with mung beans, coix seeds, lotus seeds, and red beans, with honey water, to keep the original flavor.

But look at the bowl in Newt's hand. In addition to the four fruits, there are also pudding, taro balls, pearls, white fungus, peach gum, grass jelly, peanuts, longan, watermelon, dragon fruit, cantaloupe... There are so many ingredients that they even exceed the height of the honey water!

Is this Four Fruit Soup or Eight Treasure Porridge? And the container at the bottom can definitely be described as a basin!

Professor Dumbledore's saliva was oozing out wildly.

"Oh, alright Professor Dumbledore, go ahead and do your work."

Newt nodded quickly. Professor Dumbledore was really polite. He was a headmaster and he notified him, a professor who had not yet taken office, that he was leaving.

Professor Dumbledore: "..."

I've said this, why don't you just treat me to a couple of bites? Can you really finish such a big bowl?

In the end, Professor Dumbledore lingered at the door of the office for nearly a minute. Newt still did not ask him to stay and looked up at him in confusion. Only then did he sigh and walk out of the sad office.

It’s better not to go here next school year...

Not knowing what Professor Dumbledore was thinking, Adam was still in a very good mood at this time.

"Wow! I can't believe we can be Newt Scamander's students next year!"

Cologne jumped around excitedly in the dormitory.

Uther didn't feel much about it, but Eugene was in a great dilemma... Should he replace the ancient runes with the Care of Magical Creatures class?

With his extraordinary strength, he might just turn the magical creatures into a state where they need protection.

But that's Senior Newt!

Adam had no way to deal with Eugene's dilemma. If Eugene went to Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class, it wouldn't matter, but Adam didn't know what kind of magical creatures he would come into contact with in Newt's Care of Magical Creatures class.

The news that Newt would be teaching at Hogwarts for a year next year spread quickly among Hufflepuffs. As Adam had expected, everyone was very excited, except for the first-year students and seventh-year students who beat their chests and stamped their feet, saying that this was unfair.

Apart from the little Muggle-born wizard who didn't know who senior Newt was, the calmest first-year student was probably Rolf Scamander. He was even somewhat fortunate. Although he had a good relationship with his grandfather, being a teacher and student with his grandfather might not be a very good experience.

In such an atmosphere, the Hufflepuff team showed unusual excitement in the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff this weekend, but unfortunately they still lost to Gryffindor in the end.

"Next year, the seniors of the Hufflepuff team will be promoted to seventh year. There will be six vacancies on the team. Are you interested in joining the Quidditch team?"

On the way back, Cedric ran over to find Adam and the others to chat.

"It seems you have decided to join the Quidditch team?"
