Hogwarts Crawler.

"Huh? You're awake."

Sirius turned his head alertly and found a boy in Hogwarts uniform sitting in front of him with a smile:

"The operation was successful. Congratulations, you have become a girl now."

Sirius subconsciously clamped his legs together, then realized something was wrong:

"…Do you know who I am?"

Although I don't know what happened, I am now a wanted criminal. Judging from the symbol on his chest, the child opposite me is a Hufflepuff. Maybe I can use this as an excuse...

Seeing the mouse in the plastic box next to Adam, Sirius's mind suddenly slid uncontrollably into boundless anger. Everything he had just thought about was burned by anger, and there was only one thought left in his mind - kill the traitor!

No wand at hand, but he still has the fangs and teeth of his Animagus form!

With a flick of his finger, Sirius, who was captured by the floating card, desperately performed various postures of a vicious dog hunting in the air.

Fifteen minutes later, Sirius's limbs hung limply, his tongue hanging from the side of his mouth, breathing heavily like a bellows, but his eyes were still staring at Pettigrew fiercely.

After a few more minutes, Sirius looked at Adam as if waking up from a dream.

"Calm down?"

Adam snapped his fingers and Sirius fell from the air, returning to human form.

"…What do you know?"

Sirius was not stupid. After calming down and thinking carefully, he was able to find many clues. These clues all showed that Adam was special - he seemed to know a lot of things.

“I didn’t know much before, but now I know probably everything.”

Adam picked up the crystal glass beside him and took a sip. The amber liquid was clear and the crystal glass was elegant. Just as Sirius was trying to determine what kind of wine it was, he saw bubbles rising in the liquid...

I was so stunned by the other party's silent and wandless levitation spell and his words that I almost forgot that the child in front of me was still a student of Hogwarts.

Thinking of this, and recalling how he was controlled by the levitation spell and unable to resist, Sirius' expression became a little subtle.

Are the quality of the young wizards in Hogwarts so high now?

But remembering that Adam was just a student, Sirius breathed a sigh of relief. The other party did not hand him over to the Dementors, which meant that he knew at least part of the truth, at least he knew that he was wronged.

"Who are you? Did you bring me here?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Adam Reed."

Adam?

Hearing the name, Sirius couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.

He hadn't had a good meal since he escaped from prison, and this name had left a deep impression on him during his time in the castle. However, before Sirius could savor the biscuits he secretly ate that day, he heard Adam say:

"As for the person who brought you here... yes, it's me."

"why?"

Adam looked at him in surprise, with an expression that said "listen to what you are talking about", then picked up the newspaper on the table next to him and pointed to the front page.

To be precise, it was pointing to the reward of a whole gold Galleon just below the wanted poster for Sirius on the front page.

Sirius:"……"

Should we be thankful? The person who found him was a kind-hearted Hufflepuff. After learning about his experience, he resolutely gave up the high bounty and did not hand him in.

Speaking of which...

"How did you catch me?"

Sirius couldn't help but recall again, but no matter how he recalled, it was all blank...

"vomit--"

Well, it’s not completely blank, at least there is still a sense of vomiting.

"It was a coincidence, actually."

Adam's face was filled with reminiscence:

"That day after class, I saw you mixing concrete No. 47. You know, the key to Fourier transform is the lavender scent at the end. The result is red carp, green carp and donkey."

"Oh... that's such a coincidence."

Sirius was in a trance for a moment, and then he showed an expression as if he was looking back on the past.

Well, as expected, the effect would be much better with the addition of a substitute card, and with the addition of the Confusion Spell, he even saved the effort of making up excuses.

It’s a pity that you have to first establish the other person’s goodwill towards you, and then use the love card to magnify the loopholes in the other person’s heart, so that you can confuse the other person’s cognition more peacefully.

And it’s hard to say whether the “first meeting” that had been repeated so many times before had any impact on the other person’s mind, which made this time so smooth…

With just a few casual words, Adam made Sirius cast his Animagus. With a flick of his finger, Adam made Sirius fall into a coma for who knows how many times, and erased the memory of their "first meeting" for who knows how many times.

Adam's feelings towards Sirius are rather complicated. On the one hand, because of his relationship with Professor Snape and the fact that he will be affected by him this school year, he doesn't have a good impression of Sirius.

But Adam couldn't hate this guy who allowed himself to be imprisoned in Azkaban for so many years out of self-blame, and who resolutely escaped from prison after seeing his godson in danger, and swam back to the land from Azkaban in the form of a black dog, and slept in the open air to save his godson... Although he felt that the other party didn't seem to be very smart, Adam really couldn't hate him.

Using the other party to test the results of his own magic research was Adam's small revenge for being affected by the Dementors this time and being interrupted at the barbecue last time.

There was no way. He usually didn't meet any test subjects that were intelligent enough to give him feedback and that he could handle without any psychological pressure. The only thing he could do was a little dwarf without any guilt. But the little dwarf was too ugly...

Whenever he thought of this, Adam couldn't help but sigh that he had no foresight at the time. If he had known earlier, he would have used two cards to copy a Lockhart.

After floating Sirius and Pettigrew, Adam randomly dropped them into two abandoned classrooms. He didn't know whether they would meet each other again after waking up.

As for how to properly resolve the issues such as "the Ministry of Magic mistakenly imprisoned an innocent person in Azkaban for more than ten years" and "the hero promoted by the Ministry of Magic is actually a despicable traitor", that is none of his business.

Let Professor Dumbledore and Sirius' godson worry about it.

Chapter 127: The Purified Horcrux

Throwing Sirius aside, Adam had his own things to do.

After studying magic for such a long time, he didn't just focus on how to look cool, he also had some very practical experience.

Not long after he pretended to accidentally discover the Room of Requirement, Adam had already obtained the Ravenclaw diadem inside, and he even got this Horcrux before he got the diary.

However, Adam has never had a good solution that can both deal with the soul fragments inside and keep the crown intact.

It's no wonder that Voldemort wasted good things. Several Horcruxes are basically treasures, such as Salazar Slytherin's locket, Helga Hufflepuff's gold cup, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, Marvolo Gaunt's ring... Harry Potter can barely be counted as one.

If possible, Adam still hoped to dispose of Voldemort's soul fragments separately without damaging the carrier, at least to keep Helga Hufflepuff's gold cup.

While exploring the combinations of the Clow Cards, Adam accidentally discovered a combination that could do this... a wonderful combination.

After taking a closer look at the restored tiara from Lady Rowena Ravenclaw, Adam took out another Horcrux he had on hand -

Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, or...

"The Resurrection Stone."

The ring itself was crudely made, and Adam disdained it and casually threw it into the ruins of Gaunt's old house after removing the ring setting. What Adam held in his hand now was only the resurrection stone that was originally inlaid on it.

Holding the Resurrection Stone in his hand, the protection of the shield completely ignored the curse on it, just like when Adam turned the old Gaunt house upside down to find the ring.

Incidentally, the location of Gaunt's old house was provided by Mr. Mundungus Fletcher, who wished to remain anonymous.

At that time in Hogsmeade Village, this guy was caught by Adam with some dirty tricks, but because of his good attitude of admitting his mistakes, he got the opportunity to be treated leniently.

Adam was very satisfied with his attitude, but the basilisk and the eight-eyed spiders seemed a little disappointed.

Now Mundungus is employed by Adam to help Adam collect and inquire about some information, such as intelligence on the poaching and smuggling of magical animals in the black market, and the location of Gaunt's old house.

After being distracted for a moment, Adam looked at the Resurrection Stone in his hand and used the magic of the double card to copy the Resurrection Stone into two. The magic of the replacement card was then activated, and the soul fragments on the two Horcruxes exchanged carriers with each other.

Next…

The magic of the two cards was removed, and one of the magic stones disappeared. The soul fragments attached to it lost their carrier, leaving only a mass of substance more ethereal than smoke, which dissipated with a gust of wind.

At the same time, the soul fragment on the other resurrection stone also disappeared as the double card magic was lifted.

After some operations, Adam successfully obtained a resurrection stone with the soul fragments removed.

Adam had come up with this method on a whim when he was experimenting with Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem yesterday—of course, he used a double-card replica of the diadem.

The first time he succeeded, Adam couldn't help but swear.

He's a fucking genius!

This method can perfectly solve the soul fragments on the inanimate Horcruxes. As for Harry... let's talk about it later. The original route is quite effective. Adam just needs to let Voldemort follow the original trap as much as possible. The only thing that needs to be changed is probably the ownership of the Elder Wand, but this is actually very easy to do.

Adam looked at the Resurrection Stone in his hand with satisfaction, thinking about what kind of jewelry to make it into.

Although the effect of the Resurrection Stone seems to have no practical significance, it is still of great collection value as a Deathly Hallow.

Time continued to pass day by day, and on a rainy day, the Slytherin team unexpectedly lost the match against the Hufflepuff team.

The Slytherin captain angrily blamed the Seeker Draco, believing that he was the main reason for their defeat, and threatened to replace him in the next game.

Facing Gryffindor, Draco did not have Harry's skills to move freely in the wind and rain. Facing Hufflepuff, Draco did not have Cedric's physique to remain unshakable in the face of wind and rain.

“I always feel like this isn’t really a compliment.”

Cedric's expression was a little subtle when he heard this, but then he was attracted by the large table of food in front of him.

Three of the Hufflepuff team members were his good friends, and the rest were basically acquaintances. Cedric asked him to prepare a celebratory dinner for everyone, and Adam naturally would not refuse.

For this reason, Adam even served a roasted eight-eyed giant spider. The invited Ravenclaw Seeker Qiu Zhang said that she couldn't accept it, so Adam helped her replace it with a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest.

"Ahem, give me a change, too."

Cedric glanced at the fragrant Acromantula and swallowed hard.

Looking at his teammates wolfing down the food, he knew that the roasted eight-eyed giant spider must be absolutely delicious, but he still resolutely pushed the eight-eyed giant spider away from him.

Adam looked at him in surprise, then looked at Qiu Zhang, who was drinking sugar-coated bird's nest in small sips with a blush on her cheeks, and smiled knowingly.

"Oh~"

Adam deliberately dragged out the last word, and when he saw the shyness on Cedric's face turn into shame and anger, and even signs of being angry, he helped him change a plate of scones.

Cedric looked at the scones in front of him, then at the rock sugar bird's nest in front of Qiu Zhang, and a question mark popped up in his head.

Are you kidding me? He paid for this meal. Everyone else was eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, but he was eating flatbreads?

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

"There's nothing else left, just two Acromantulas. You can eat them if you want."

Facing Cedric's question mark, Adam spread his hands.

Cedric wanted to say something, but Qiu Zhang pulled his shirt hem:

"Forget it, it's so late, let's eat together."

Glancing at the rock sugar bird's nest that was pushed between the two of them, Cedric looked at Adam again, and couldn't help but show some gratitude and admiration in his eyes, and secretly gave Adam a thumbs up.

Thank you boss, I'll come again next time!

After dinner, Cedric found Adam and thanked him again for his help. Adam said that it was nothing, and then introduced his business to Cedric: one-stop service for wedding candies, cakes and wedding banquets. If you book now, you can enjoy a 20% discount and a luxurious special effects gift package - ten miles of flowers and falling snow.

"Ten miles of flowers and snow falling all over the sky... these two special effects don't go together?"

"It doesn't matter, you can use one this time and the other next time."

"……next time?"

"Ahem, I mean, if there's any other party next time, you can come to me. I'll keep this for you anyway."

Thinking that even if he and Qiu Zhang couldn't get married in the end, they would still get married in the future, Cedric finally paid the money:

“Order one!”

"Okay, then let's take a look at the birthday parties, housewarming parties, school enrollment parties, graduation parties, and full-month parties here..."

Finally, Cedric looked at his drained wallet and couldn't help but wonder if the banquets he had just booked were really necessary.

Well...it's necessary!

Back in the dormitory, Bernard was speechless as he looked at Adam who was counting the money:

"You're not short of money, so why would you accept orders even after decades?"

"You don't understand the joy that the process of making money brings to people~"

Adam flicked his thumb and a gold Galleon was bounced up and caught by him.
