Hogwarts Crawler.

"Please keep an eye on them and don't let them run around... Also, they seem to be obsessed with adventure. I hope you can emphasize the importance of Eugene to them."

To put it bluntly, even if she had to pretend, she had to pretend to love Eugene, at least in front of Eugene.

As for whether doing so is forcing Eugene's parents... he saved both of their lives. If it weren't for the fact that they could provide Eugene with the missing parental love, would Adam care about their life or death?

Those two with bruised faces and noses are still staying in the ruins!

"Don't worry, I've already cast a tracking spell on them. If they still try to run away, I'll break their legs."

Mrs. Lauren glanced at the shadow outside the door who trembled when she heard this, and said faintly:

"Anyway, with our family's savings, they won't have to worry about food and drink even if they spend the rest of their lives lying in St. Mungo's. We can still go visit them when we have free time."

Hiss... Although I've seen it in the letter before, now the preparations and follow-up arrangements have been made. Are you really planning to break my legs?

She acted so decisively, and with that group of friends outside, it seems that Mrs. Lauren is also a person with a story.

"I can rest assured that."

Chapter 143 Returning to Ordinary Campus Life

When he returned to the dormitory, the first thing Adam wanted to do was to tell Eugene the good news that the person had been rescued.

Maybe because it was still daytime, there was no one in the dormitory. Adam cast a personal identification spell but found that everyone was at the Quidditch field - was there a Quidditch match today?

Not only is there, but looking at the positions of Eugene Colon and the others, Hufflepuff is one of the two participating teams?

Adam was puzzled for a second as to why no one had told him about this, but then he remembered that he had been so busy recently, and it was understandable that they didn't tell him about this "little thing".

I don’t know if Eugene’s condition will be affected… let’s go and see.

Using the phantom card, Adam silently replaced the "Adam" imitated by the mirror card. Just at this moment, a quaffle from Ravenclaw was blocked by Eugene, and applause and cheers came from the Hufflepuff side.

"Hey! Look—huh?"

Bernard just turned his head and was about to say something, but he frowned when he saw Adam.

"…Adam?"

"How did you recognize me?"

Adam was a little surprised.

"Depends on the look in the eyes, the way I sit...but mostly it's based on my feeling."

The Adam simulated by the mirror card looks exactly like Adam himself, but there is just not that feeling, or rather - it doesn't have that flavor.

Adam nodded as if he understood what he said. Bernard was probably talking about his handsomeness that was hard to conceal.

"Why did you come back suddenly?"

Hearing the noise here, Uther turned around:

"solved?"

There were people all around him, so he spoke more obscurely.

"Well, it's solved!"

Sure enough, it is still as reliable as ever...

"How's the field going now?"

Adam glanced at the score. Hufflepuff was leading Ravenclaw by 30 points:

"Is Eugene in an affected state?"

"No, on the contrary, he seems a little too excited."

Bernard shook his head.

"I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you'd worry, but Eugene has been training so hard lately that he's even risking his life... I always thought only the captain of Gryffindor could do something like leaving his broomstick to catch the Quaffle."

"what?!"

Adam was startled and looked in the direction of Eugene, who was defending in front of the three goals in an infinite symbol trajectory:

"Is Eugene hurt?"

"He was fine after lying in the hospital wing for an afternoon. Then he was scolded by Cedric. After that, he calmed down a bit... But I could still see that he was holding back a lot of energy."

Uther looked at Adam:

"Luckily you came back early, otherwise I don't know what he would be like in the next game."

"That's it..."

It seems that Eugene's parents have indeed had a great influence on him. I will have to contact Eugene's grandmother again later.

After so many days of busy work, Adam finally had some free time. He took stock of what he had to do next:

It's almost time to brew the wolfsbane potion again. Although Professor Lupin looked a little pitiful last time, Adam has already accepted Professor Snape's Felicity Potion, and it would be bad to go back on his word... Anyway, a year will pass quickly, and Professor Lupin will get through it if he endures it.

Then there is the matter of choosing a location for the restaurant. Colon's father had volunteered to help with this matter before, and now there is a clue. Adam plans to make an appointment to go to Hogsmeade Village and take a look. If possible, he will buy it.

The decoration of Dream Dessert Workshop should be finalized. Ambrosio sent a letter before, saying that he was interested in working for him, but Adam was too busy looking for someone to deal with it. Now that he has found someone, the decoration and stocking should be completed as soon as possible, so that it can be reopened before Christmas this year.

Speaking of Christmas, it’s almost here and it’s time to finalize the menu…

Ah! I almost forgot, there is also Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem. I must find a chance to give it to Professor Flitwick.

While Adam was making his plan, the game on the field was coming to an end - Cologne hit a Bludger in front of Zhang Qiu, and Zhang Qiu had to stop flying. It was at this time that Cedric grabbed the Golden Snitch.

"Dililili——"

Following Madam Hooch's whistle, the Hufflepuff team burst into warm cheers and applause!

"Let's go, we have to celebrate tonight."

Adam clapped and stood up with a smile on his face.

The Hufflepuff team's victory was one thing, and Eugene's parents were rescued safely was another, but the Hufflepuffs around him could obviously only hear the former meaning.

Anyway, Adam said they wanted to celebrate, so there would definitely be something delicious.

As news of the celebration spread, the Hufflepuffs' applause and cheers suddenly became louder.

Following the crowd to the field below, the team members were surrounded by excited Hufflepuffs. Adam and the others were standing a little forward, applauding their friends.

Eugene accepted everyone's congratulations with a smile, and couldn't help but pause when his eyes moved to Adam.

This smile…is not Jing’s innocent smile, it’s Adam himself!

Why is he here at this time?

Could it be——

The excited You Jin Gang wanted to squeeze in using his physique, but he saw Adam shaking his head at him, then pointing in the direction of the castle, indicating that they should go back and talk later.

Eugene nodded, barely suppressing his excitement.

Back in the Hufflepuff common room, everyone was celebrating except for two people huddled in a corner.

"Oh……"

Although he had already guessed it, Eugene still shed tears of excitement when he actually learned that his parents had been rescued.

"Thanks--"

"No need to thank me, can you help me run the store from now on?"

Adam sighed:

"Just now, a few classmates came to me to complain that you mixed up their desserts when you were watching the store."

"I see."

He knew that he was not in the right state before, but it was another matter when Adam directly explained it. Eugene held back his tears, and his cheeks flushed:

"Then I..."

"Hey! Eugene, why are you here?"

Another batsman, Mike, came over and was stunned when he saw Eugene's face:

"You're crying... so excited? You should smile after winning. Let's eat delicious food together!"

Eugene was dragged away in the middle of his words: "..."

Regardless of what Eugene thought, Adam was relieved. He could never get used to being thanked so formally.

However, as the saying goes, you can't escape the fifteenth day if you try to escape the first day. After returning to the dormitory at night, Adam was still caught by Eugene and he kept talking to him for a long time. Adam had no choice but to tell Eugene the news that he could go back to see his parents at Christmas, which diverted his attention.

"What should I prepare? What should I say when the time comes..."

Eugene, who was in a dilemma, not only stopped pestering Adam, but even ate the barbecue absent-mindedly. If Adam hadn't cast the exorcism spell, he would have been stuck in the throat by a fishbone.

After the storm subsided, Adam finally returned to his ordinary campus life...hmm.

Chapter 144: Pettigrew, Danger

It was another day to go to Hogsmeade. Adam and Colon's father made an appointment to go to see houses for sale in the afternoon. In the cellar of the Dream Dessert Workshop, he was talking to Ambrosio about the next shop decoration plan...

Suddenly, the secret door of the cellar was opened with a "click" sound, and three little lions came out of the secret passage.

"What are you...?"

Adam took a look at the shaky secret passage door after being violently opened, and thought to himself that next time he would ask Uncle Bernard to order a titanium alloy one with a magic lock.

When they saw someone outside the secret passage, Harry and the other two felt their already wildly beating hearts tighten. They only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who it was.

"Adam! There's no time to talk, just run!"

The three rushed forward, trying to pull Adam and Ambrosio to run, but they found that they couldn't pull them away - Ambrosio was too big, and Adam was holding a shield, so he was as solid as a rock...

"What happened?"

Adam frowned, grabbed Harry's collar and pulled him back to him.

After pulling Adam for a long time but he didn't move, Harry suddenly stood in front of Adam. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said:

"It's Pettigrew - oh, I can't explain it right now, let's go!"

Adam frowned. It wasn't even Christmas yet, how come Pettigrew was exposed so quickly... Never mind, what did it have to do with him?

"Oh, little Harry, where do you want to go?"

When they heard this voice, Harry and the others' hair stood up.

Pettigrew slowly climbed up the ladder from the secret door, revealing his sparsely haired head. He grinned at Harry and the others:

"The activity map was made by James and his team, but I was also James's good friend! Which secret passage on it is unknown to me?"

"You bastard!"

When Harry heard this, his eyes turned red, not because he was about to cry, but because he was angry. Hermione and Ron were also very angry.

They have now figured out the truth of what happened back then. How dare this traitor who pretended to be a hero say such things in front of Harry? !

"Hehehe~ Don't be sad, little Harry, I will take you and your friends to see James and Li..."

"Bam—"

Adam used the flat surface of the Dark Rod to knock back Pettigrew, who was halfway up the ladder and had just emerged halfway from the secret passage. He then looked at Ambrosio, who had already taken out his magic wand.

"Ambrosio, were you a Hufflepuff?"

"Uh, yeah, what's wrong?"

Ambrosio was stunned by Adam's move and took a second to answer.

"Oh, it's okay."

Adam nodded and said nothing.

It seems that Hufflepuff really has a buff that reduces its presence... What is this? Is it a passerby halo?

While he was thinking, Pettigrew's furious voice came from the secret passage:

"Ah! Little devil! How dare you sneak attack me? I'm going to kill you--"
