Hogwarts Crawler.

"Huh? It's rare to see you looking forward to going back so much."

"Well... my grandma said my parents sent her a letter saying they would go home once during this holiday."

Eugene said, looking at the top of the four poster bed.

Although he had always acted as if his parents were indifferent, it was impossible for Eugene to have no illusions about them. This was probably the first time he had ever met his parents in his memory...

Adam nodded in understanding.

"Speaking of the last Quidditch match, it seems like neither side was very engaged."

Uther took the opportunity to steer the conversation in a pleasing direction.

Bernard couldn't help but curl his lips:

"Yes, after all, no matter who wins or loses, the College Cup will be ours in the end!"

The score of the House Cup basically depends on two points: one is the plus or minus points for usual performance, and the other is the 100-point bonus for the Quidditch champion.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to create a gap of more than 100 points in the usual points, so the outcome of Quidditch can largely determine the ownership of the house cup - but that is under normal circumstances, such as last year which was a special case, and this year.

The 250 points that Adam earned for Hufflepuff directly created a desperate gap between the scoreboard crystal of Hufflepuff House and the other three houses.

Because of this, at the end of the Quidditch match, the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams competing for first and second place were not as motivated as in previous years.

On a sunny afternoon, the Quidditch final began. The Slytherin team unexpectedly committed several malicious fouls at the beginning, almost knocking Fred off his broom, and still scored 40 points. Madam Hooch's silver whistle was almost whistling sparks before she finally restrained herself a little.

But the initial advantage had been established, and with Fred already injured, the Slytherin team still managed to gain a 120-point advantage in less than an hour.

However, in the end, Harry caught the Golden Snitch in front of Draco with a tricky flying posture before the Slytherin team scored more than 150 points, and Draco almost fainted from anger.

Until the end-of-year dinner, Malfoy could still be seen being scolded by Marcus Flint. This was Marcus' last Quidditch game, which was also the reason why the Slytherin team was particularly unruly this time.

"Okay, students, be quiet for a moment."

Professor Dumbledore walked to the podium and the noise in the auditorium suddenly became quiet.

"Another year has passed, and I am glad to see everyone's growth! Perhaps everyone has gained a lot in this year and forgotten many things that happened in this year. Today I have to bring up the old things again."

Professor Dumbledore smiled and looked in Adam's direction and said:

"During this year, our Adam Reed solved the monster in the Chamber of Secrets and protected everyone at Hogwarts. In this incident, the only victim, Mr. Filch's cat, has now returned to normal thanks to the efforts of Professor Sprout and Professor Snape."

Professor Dumbledore guided his hand to Filch who was leaning against the wall. He hugged Mrs. Norris and smiled brightly, which was a rare moment.

"For this - and I'm sure everyone has already discovered it - Hufflepuff received a considerable amount of house points."

There was a burst of warm applause in the hall, especially from the Hufflepuff table. Everyone cheered and looked at Adam.

"Well, this year's house cup undoubtedly belongs to Hufflepuff. Before everyone starts enjoying the food, there is one thing that must be done..."

Professor Dumbledore raised his hand towards the sky above the hall. The golden-red banners and flags were replaced with copper-yellow. Suddenly, cheers louder than before rang out from the Hufflepuff table.

Cedric even took advantage of his height and crossed the long table to hug Adam's shoulders and shook him. If it weren't for the limited space, Adam seriously doubted that these excited badgers could throw him up...

"Then enjoy your meal tonight!"

After Professor Dumbledore's final speech, the year-end dinner officially began and the Hufflepuffs finally started the party.

How many years has it been since they won the House Cup? I don’t know! The seniors never mentioned this at all!

In short, Hufflepuff has finally been able to hold its head high this time. Some little badgers whose families are Hufflepuffs even excitedly wrote letters to their parents that night to report the good news.

The heated atmosphere continued until the day the transcripts were issued, when it cooled down a little.

"Wow! I got an O in Defense Against the Dark Arts! I didn't expect the professors to be so lenient with their grading standards. I thought I'd be thankful to get an A at best."

After the results came out, Cologne looked at his transcript with joy.

"After all, this exam exposed the poor teaching quality of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course in previous years, and the professors were also in a difficult position."

It is impossible that the test paper only covers what was taught this year. The problem lies with the professors from previous years. Due to the particularity of this job, previous professors have either resigned or passed away.

There is no one responsible for this. Faced with test papers filled with red ink, what else can professors do except lower the grading requirements?

In this case, it is not surprising that Cologne, who reviewed according to the most stringent requirements, got an O.

"Alas, Adam still got all O's..."

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!

Running over to Adam and taking a look, Colon couldn't help but sigh.

"Adam is a robot. He can learn, cook and have fun all at the same time. Comparing with him is just asking for trouble."

Bernard was able to automatically filter out Adam's results.

“What is a robot?”

"Hmm... It's like an alchemical item. It can perform the set action exactly."

Bernard's answer made Colon nod as if he understood.

On the return train, the Hufflepuffs couldn't help but surround Adam.

"This year will definitely go down in Hufflepuff history. Adam, you will definitely become a legend among Hufflepuffs!"

Senior Vivian laughed very boldly.

"I think Adam already is. His cooking skills are enough to be recorded in the history of magic."

Bruce sighed after he finished speaking, then took a small bite of the egg tart.

He wouldn’t be able to buy Adam’s delicacies for the entire holiday... Fortunately, he was smart this time and bought a lot of long-lasting candies and cakes from Adam in advance, which should last for a month, provided his parents and relatives don’t snatch them from him.

"You are all too flattering..."

After being flattered by the badgers for more than a week, Adam shook his head and picked up the copper kettle in his hand:

"Anyone else want brown sugar milk tea?"

"I!"

After finally getting off the train and saying goodbye to everyone who was reluctant to leave, Adam found his grandparents who had come to pick him up.

"It seems that Adam is very popular among his classmates."

Old Reed looked proud:

"Grandpa also got along well with his classmates..."

"Adam, don't learn from grandpa and fight in school."

Emma's revelation made old Reed freeze on the spot, but Emma didn't care at all. She took Adam's hand and walked towards Platform 9 3/4.

Crossing the platform, Adam saw, as expected, his parents coming to pick him up.

"Oh, didn't I tell you not to answer it? You guys are all so busy..."

"We are not so busy that we cannot take time to bring home children we haven't seen for a year."

After hugging Ms. Li and Mr. Reed respectively, Adam got on the car to go home.

Just as Adam was wondering why Mr. Reed was unexpectedly the same as usual, Ms. Li looked back at Adam from the passenger seat:

"Adam, grandpa and grandma want you to go visit China during this holiday...what do you think?"

Chapter 87: As expected, something unexpected happened

"Grandpa and grandma...?"

Adam couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Whether it was because of the long distance, the special situation in China, or the need to keep it secret from ordinary people, compared to his grandparents, whom he had seen a few times, the day he received the admission letter was the only time Adam remembered meeting his grandparents.

When he first came here, due to the limitations of infant physical development, Adam had almost no memory before the age of two or three, so he had no memory of the one-year-old ceremony.

So...if I were to describe my impression of my grandparents, "not very familiar" might be a somewhat hurtful but very appropriate adjective.

"Okay, I've always wanted to go to China and try the most authentic Chinese food."

Adam's answer made Ms. Li feel relieved, and then she smiled and nodded:

"Then I'll book a plane ticket right away, and I'll go back with you."

Perhaps because of the holiday, the flights in recent days have been fully booked. In addition, Ms. Li had to make some preparations for her return to China after so many years, so she booked the ticket for ten days later.

However, on the eighth day, Adam received a letter sent by owl.

At first Adam didn't think anything of it, he was just curious because he seemed to have never seen this owl before, and he should recognize the owls of people who were familiar with sending him letters.

After checking the letter and finding no curse or anything like that, Adam opened it and read the contents. The relaxed smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

"Adam, if you can see this letter, it means that if nothing unexpected happened to me, then something unexpected must have happened to me."

This was the first sentence in the letter, and the familiar handwriting was undoubtedly from Uther.

The deliberately funny text did not make Adam feel relaxed or funny at all, so he hurriedly continued reading.

"Because of your previous prophecy, I made some preparations. After thinking about it, I decided to write this letter as one of the backup plans. If all goes well, I will stay in Hamunaptra for seven days at most. On the seventh day, I will definitely leave there with the door key and prevent this letter from being sent out, so if you can see this letter..."

The handwriting here was a little dark, and it was obvious that the quill pen had paused here. Uther finally did not continue writing, but started a new line.

"I've thought about why I wrote this letter to you for a long time. What can you do if you see this letter? Considering that we've been roommates for two years and have a good relationship, please help me inform my mother who may not know that we're in trouble. This way, she can at least prepare in advance. And to the other brothers, remember to say goodbye to them when school starts."

"It's a pity that I probably can't give you any reward. You don't seem to be short of money. But my personal collection is in a box under the bed in my room. If you like, you can take it as a souvenir. They are all rare things."

"Finally, you are a really great roommate and your cooking is super delicious. I love you, Adam."

Putting down the letter, Adam blinked his sore eyes and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong, Adam?"

Xiao Ke tilted his head as he looked at Adam who had a grim expression on his face.

"Don't say anything, Xiaoke... Let me think about it... Think about it..."

The most important thing now is to determine whether Uther is dead or not.

If he hadn't died, Adam would have been able to rescue Uther by rushing to Egypt now, but if he had died, Adam's trip would have directly closed the causal loop, and even using time magic later would not have been able to change the predetermined outcome.

But if we don’t go to Egypt, how can we confirm whether Uther is dead?

Wait... there is a solution!

"The Clow Cards created by Clow Reed, please answer my questions and tell me about Uther Ramses..."

With Adam's half-baked ability in divination interpretation, even if Uther's divination result was death, it could only be his guess at best. Thank goodness there is no death card in the Clow Cards!

"Eliminating cards, sand cards, weighing cards, hidden cards, and confusing cards?"

Adam breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the same divination result as last time.

If there is no change, does that mean Uther is still alive?

Adam put away the Clow Cards on the table, summoned the Wand of Darkness, and was about to use the magic of moving cards to go directly to Egypt.

Fortunately, he learned this magic right after Xiang Pai, otherwise he might not be able to sustain the consumption after crossing such a long distance.

"Xiao Ke, Sibi, I'm going to be away for a while, you guys..."

"Wait a minute Adam! Do you remember that you are going to China in two days?"

Adam's words were interrupted by Sibi. To be honest, he really forgot about it just now.

So Adam went to find Ms. Li again:

"Mom, something happened to my classmate in Egypt. I have to go look for him. I can't go to China with you."

"What……?"

Ms. Li's smile froze on her face:

"But your grandparents..."

"Sorry, mom, this is a very urgent matter, a matter of life and death! It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer for the trip to China. We haven't seen each other for so many years anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's one more year later, right?"

Adam held Ms. Li's hand.

He undoubtedly loved China, but as for his relatives in China... he was only somewhat grateful to his grandparents. At least they brought him the Sealed Book. As for family affection, he could only say that there was some, but not much.

Compared with going to China to see those unknown relatives and Uther's life and death, there is no doubt which is more important.

"……All right."
