There's no way around it. Dementors don't discriminate based on their colleges when they spread despair.

However, Adam's attention was not on the students at this time, because he saw senior Newt in the teacher's seat!

"I believe he did this without thinking of anything in return, but as the headmaster of Hogwarts, I think the cost of these chocolates should be borne by the school."

Anyway, it was the school board that paid for it, and perhaps the Ministry of Magic could be asked to reimburse it again. Professor Dumbledore did not feel any pressure when he said this, and he even wanted to add part of the money he spent on buying candy into the bill.

Adam understood what Professor Dumbledore meant and nodded: We'll talk about the details of how to report the bill when the time comes!

Professor Dumbledore blinked to show that he had received it, and then stretched out his hand towards the teachers' table:

“Next, I am honored to introduce two new professors who are joining our faculty this year.”

As soon as these words fell, warm applause broke out in the hall - mainly from Hufflepuff.

"First, it's Professor Scamander, who has kindly agreed to take over the Care of Magical Creatures class for a year following Professor Kettleburn's retirement."

As soon as he finished speaking, the applause became even louder. The applause and cheers from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were about to collapse the ceiling of the hall.

Oh my god! Newt Scamander! The living author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!

Newt stood up to greet everyone, but suddenly he didn't know when to sit down. He could only stand there and nod to everyone without looking up.

"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment."

Professor Dumbledore had to use the Louder Charm to calm everyone down, and emphasized that for various reasons, Professor Scamander could only teach for one year, but this only slightly dampened everyone's enthusiasm.

"Next is Professor Lupin. Due to an accident last year, our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is vacant again. Professor Lupin took on this important responsibility without fear of danger."

Professor Lupin, who stood up and nodded to everyone, froze his smile slightly when he heard this.

Why doesn't this sound auspicious?

However, thinking about his previous living standard and the salary of Hogwarts professors, as well as Professor Dumbledore's promise that the school would contract him for a year's supply of wolfsbane potion, Professor Lupin was still very dedicated and maintained a smile on his face.

Professor Lupin did not have the mass base that Newt had, so the applause was a little sparse, which seemed a bit tragic in comparison, but Professor Lupin did not seem to care much.

Instead, Newt looked apologetic and quietly clapped louder.

Professor Lupin gave this a friendly smile in return.

"Okay, I've said everything I wanted to say, everyone can enjoy dinner~"

As Professor Dumbledore finished speaking, a golden plate filled with food appeared on the long table, causing a series of sighs from the Hufflepuff table.

"What's wrong?"

One of the freshmen couldn't help but look at the senior next to him. The food on the table was obviously very rich.

"No, you don't understand..."

The second-year Hufflepuff sighed. Did they hold back for the entire holiday just for this smelly barbecue? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look in Adam's direction eagerly.

After dinner, it was rare that it was so cold in the summer, so Adam and his friends planned to return to the dormitory they had not seen for a long time to cook a hot pot. However, Adam was kidnapped by Professor Snape on the way.

Adam made a "wait for me" gesture to everyone and looked at Professor Snape:

"Professor, what can I do for you?"

"I remember you can brew wolfsbane potion?"

Professor Snape walked into the office, threw his cloak and sat down. He looked at Adam without waiting for his answer:

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

"A professor needs this this year, one bottle per month. Are you interested in this order?"

"..."

There were so many things to complain about that Adam didn't know where to start.

Firstly, regarding a certain professor... There are only so many professors at Hogwarts. If one was not used in previous years but is used this year, then he must be a new professor.

There are two new professors this year, one of whom is Newt Scamander, who is almost impossible for Hufflepuff not to know. Professor Snape, you might as well just say Professor Lupin's name.

Secondly, Adam's store doesn't sell everything, at least not when it comes to potions...

"The money for the wolfsbane potion will be paid by the school board. Considering that there are few stable sales channels for this kind of potion in the market, it can be sold at a 70% premium. As for the ingredients, I will give them to you."

Emmm, actually it’s not that potions can’t be sold. The main consideration is that both the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and the Potions professor have needs in this regard. One wants to drink and the other doesn’t want to make it. How can the considerate Badger sit idly by?

"no problem!"

Adam agreed immediately, then thought about it:

"Any additional requirements?"

Professor Snape narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, put his hands on his chest and raised his chin:

"for example?"

"For example, do we need to make some... restrictions on taste?"

Adam has an "I'm really busy" look on his face:

"Because I usually have to research new dishes, I might accidentally add something when I brew potions, making the taste of the potions a little strange... If necessary, I can take time out to brew these wolfsbane potions separately."

Professor Snape showed an interested expression:

"That's not necessary. You're going to take elective courses in your third year this year, and your schedule is tight. I believe that as long as the efficacy of the medicine is not affected, the professor won't be too harsh on such a small issue."

After a pause, Professor Snape took out a key and pulled out a golden potion bottle less than half the size of a palm from his locked cabinet.

"If you feel stressed by schoolwork, you must take breaks."

It can be seen that Professor Snape is not very good at showing direct concern for people. This sentence was said in a dry and unnatural way, but Adam obviously did not care about this formality.

Carefully taking the bottle of Felicis, Adam couldn't help but sigh that Professor Snape had spent a lot of money to get rid of his anger.

"Don't worry, professor. In order to ensure the efficacy of the medicine, I will prepare enough wolfsbane potion for the professor. I hope he won't mind drinking a few more bottles at a time."

The corners of Professor Snape's mouth twitched unnaturally twice before he finally said slowly:

"I think... he won't mind."

Chapter 100 Quidditch Test

"Adam, ugh—"

After finding the empty classroom where Adam usually stayed, Bernard pushed the door open and walked in confidently, but he took three steps back after taking half a step in. He took several deep breaths before he recovered.

"you……"

Bernard was silent for a few seconds, and finally figured out what the smell was like:

"Did you spoil the soy milk?"

"Huh? No, I'm brewing a potion."

Adam added the last bit of material to the automatic stirring crucible, looked at the color in the crucible and nodded with satisfaction:

"It's almost done. All we have to do now is boil it for twelve hours..."

"Potion?"

Bernard finally found his voice:

"What kind of magical potion is this? It actually has such a weird taste!"

"Wolfsbane Potion... Bean Juice Version? Hmm!"

Adam nodded in affirmation.

Thanks to his previous experience flavoring the twins' gag candies, Adam had become adept at adjusting the flavor without affecting the potion's effectiveness.

Of course, under the anonymous commission of a certain Potions professor, the final product Adam brewed might be... two to three bottles more than the normal wolfsbane potion.

"Wolfsbane potion?"

Bernard recalled it and found that this was not what he had learned, so he simply ignored it:

"Never mind that. Are you going to continue the operation? Cologne and Eugene will have their team tests this afternoon. We agreed to go together to cheer them on."

"That's good, let's go."

Adam set the alarm and prepared to leave with Bernard.

"You were away this morning, and when their Nimbus 2002 was delivered, it attracted quite a lot of attention."

"Nimbus 2002?"

Adam recalled,

"I remember the best flying broom this year should be called the Firebolt..."

"Really? I'm not too sure about this, I just heard it from them..."

It was a nice day today, which was very rare when there were Dementors lurking at every entrance and exit. The two came to the Quidditch field, where a circle of people had already gathered. The Hufflepuff team - wearing canary yellow and copper-brown uniforms - stood in the middle, looking very energetic.

Uther saw Adam and Bernard coming and walked towards them quickly:

"You guys are here, come on, let's go to the back."

"later?"

"Well, the ones in the front are all official team members. The test hasn't started yet. Eugene and the others are in the back."

When I walked to the backcourt, I saw Eugene and Colon there.

"You're here! How is it? Does this outfit look good on me?"

Cologne couldn't help but turn around.

To be honest, this uniform doesn't fit him well. Cologne is quite thin, and the right size of clothes doesn't fit him well at the shoulders. However, Adam solved this problem with a wave of his magic wand, and then gave him a thumbs up:

"very suitable!"

Then Adam looked at Eugene who was talking to another Quidditch player on the side...

Compared to Cologne, Eugene's tall and well-proportioned figure can hold up the Quidditch uniform very well. The goalkeeper's armor is slightly bulged by his muscles, looking like a wall, giving people a full sense of security.

The senior next to him was almost the same size as him, and they were both wearing the same team uniform. At this moment, he was patting Eugene's back hard, and the uniforms made a dull sound when they collided.

“Senior Apefo is leaving the team this year, but he’s very optimistic about Eugene.”

Colon explained it for them.

Apef was the previous goalkeeper. He was very capable and seldom conceded goals in a game. It can be said that the main reason why the Hufflepuff team couldn't win before was that they couldn't catch the Golden Snitch.

Then Colon told them that Eugene was the only one who applied to be the goalkeeper this year, and with the approval of the previous goalkeeper, it was almost a foregone conclusion that he would become the goalkeeper.

"I'm different!"

Cologne sighed:

"There are three batsmen applying this year, and my qualifications are not very good..."

Especially in terms of body shape, it is a weakness.

"Don't worry, we all believe you can do it. A Quidditch player's skills are much more important than his size."

Uther comforted Cologne.

"Well said! Logically, a Seeker should be as small as possible so that he can be agile enough, but look at Viktor Krum - he's as strong as a bear, and he can still get good results!"

Apef had just finished talking to Eugene and was about to leave. Upon hearing this, he excitedly patted Uther's shoulder, but he seemed to have forgotten to use less force, causing Uther's eye to twitch.

"Oh! Sorry, I just got used to it..."

Apefu also discovered the problem and apologized quickly.

"It's okay... I'm used to it."

After hearing Uther's words, Apefu's apologetic expression showed a bit of confusion.

Uther rubbed his shoulders, and inexplicably recalled the time when he and Eugene first got along well. Eugene patted them like this... No, Eugene was even stronger.

Everyone obviously recalled that experience and looked at Eugene together.

Eugene turned around silently and began to do warm-up exercises.

Bernard glanced at his pocket watch:

“It looks like it’s about to begin.”
