Hogwarts Crawler.

Then, Adam and Professor Snape's eyes fell on Professor Lupin. With the poisonous tentacles and devil's snares lurking around him, Professor Lupin swallowed his saliva and decisively chose to follow his heart, throwing his wand aside and raising his hands.

Seeing this, Adam sighed with some regret and dispersed the Chinese biting kale and mandrake that were lying in ambush in the dark.

With the Quiet card, he can use the Mandrake as a fixed-point sonic weapon without worrying about hurting his own people.

As for using sound cards to simulate the cry of the Mandrake... although it is possible, I always feel that the crying of the Mandrake is also an indispensable part of this weapon, just like shouting "Hurry up and obey the order" before throwing the talisman.

Adam refused to deprive his moves of their souls unless it was absolutely necessary.

Chapter 146 A new oligarch is about to be born

"Professor Dumbledore, everyone has been transported safely. If nothing else, I have an appointment..."

Looking at Sirius, whose brain was congested and foaming at the mouth, twitching under the paralyzing effect of the poisonous tentacles, and Pettigrew, whose wounds were swollen and bleeding, Professor Dumbledore hesitated for a rare moment:

"……Safety?"

"This guy chased Harry and the others and said he was going to harm them. Most importantly, he even planned to cast a curse on us. I had to use some violent means to stop his evil deeds."

Adam pointed at Pettigrew and said this, Harry and the others nodded to testify for him.

"As for this guy, he is a wanted criminal of the Ministry of Magic. He also broke into the Gryffindor common room and caused me to cough. As a result, everyone had to spend the night in the hall. I have reason to doubt his position, even if he appeared with Professor Lupin..."

Adam glanced at Professor Lupin.

"Given the past record of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor last year and the year before, as well as Professor Lupin's species, and his unwillingness to come with you to see you, I resorted to some extraordinary measures."

Harry and the others hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded - it seemed like there was nothing wrong with what Adam said.

"I uh--cough!"

Sirius spat out the foam that rose from his throat and said angrily:

"When have I not wanted to come to see Dumbledore? -"

Pink bubbles began to flow out of Sirius' mouth again.

"Then why didn't you explain it then?"

Adam shrugged helplessly.

Sirius: "..." Didn't I think you were in cahoots with the slug at that time?

Adam: You have a pretty good eye for people then.

"All right."

Professor Dumbledore felt a little headache after hearing this. He waved his wand to clear the cleanser from Sirius' mouth and looked at Adam:

"I roughly understand what happened before. Since you still have something to do, go first."

Adam nodded to Professor Dumbledore and turned to leave the Headmaster's office.

Professor Dumbledore looked at Ron and Hermione again:

"Could you please go to the hospital wing and get Madam Pomfrey? I may need her help here."

Hermione and Ron also left the Headmaster's office.

Professor Dumbledore looked at Professor Lupin, then at Pettigrew who was pretending to be dead, and finally at Sirius. He crossed his fingers on the table and leaned forward slightly.

"So, where do we begin…Sirius?"

……

"Isn't this enough to make Professor Snape feel relieved?"

Adam muttered to himself, then held the Felicis Felix between two fingers and shook it in front of his eyes. The golden potion sparkled in the winter sun.

"Adam, is this really a luck potion?"

Xiaoke and Sibi couldn't help but stick their heads out of their bags.

Luck... something as illusory as fate was too hard to grasp. Even someone as powerful as Clow Reed could only foresee the future, but he couldn't create magic that could make people lucky.

"Of course not. If it is a real lucky potion, I can't even imagine what ingredients it would take to make it."

Adam shook his head.

"The Lucky Spirit Potion can only bring a person to their best state. In this state, all of a person's abilities will be brought into full play, and things will naturally go very smoothly, giving people the illusion that they are very lucky..."

Simply put, Follicle-stimulating Agent can help people accomplish things that are humanly possible more smoothly, but if you feel like you can win the lottery after drinking it, then you probably drank too much Follicle-stimulating Agent.

"That's it..."

Xiaoke was a little disappointed.

"Even so, it's still a very powerful potion!"

Sibi couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, and it was made by the youngest potion master of this century. If you don't finish the whole bottle in one gulp, or take it for several consecutive days, there will be almost no side effects..."

Adam sighed again as he spoke:

"Unfortunately, I don't think I can use this."

With two cards in hand, a bottle of Felicity allows him to achieve Felicity freedom directly, but there is almost nothing difficult for him to do that requires the help of Felicity... Eh?

"The Fuling potion seems to enhance thinking ability. If I had drunk it when I was looking for someone before, would it have been smoother..."

Adam reflected on it and it seemed to be true.

"Well, learn your lesson. Next time Eugene's parents are lost, remember to drink a sip of the Felicity Potion before looking for them."

I passed the corner ahead and just happened to hear Eugene: ...I'm a little touched, but not that touched. Anyway, thank you.

Without noticing Eugene's complicated look behind him, Adam returned all the way to Hogsmeade Village. Since there was still some time before the agreed afternoon date, he just sat down at the Three Broomsticks Bar.

"I feel like I can open a pub in the future..."

Adam looked around and said thoughtfully.

Compared to staying in the restaurant, sitting at the bar and listening to people bragging in the pub sounds like a more interesting option. As for the pub business, it is not within his consideration. Anyway, he doesn't care whether he makes money or not.

Come to think of it, once he masters the magic of time cards, won’t he be able to easily create wines that are decades or even hundreds of years old?

8000-year-old daughter’s red wine…well, it seems that it is not drinkable.

"You should let Ms. Rosmerta go."

Adam looked up and saw that it was Cedric approaching with a butterbeer.

Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Cedric looked helpless:

"Look at the shops in Hogsmeade that used to be very popular. Since your shops opened, business has dropped significantly. The Three Broomsticks and Zonko's Joke Shop are both deserted, and Honeydukes Candy Store has even closed down."

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!

"To be precise, I bought it. Did you see the new sign? It will be called Dream Dessert Workshop from now on~"

Adam shook his finger:

"It will open in a few days. I have to say that it is indeed easier for wizards to decorate. If it were a Muggle, it would probably take several months before they could even put up a sign..."

When it comes to things like infrastructure, you really can't appreciate what amazing efficiency means unless you go abroad to see it - it means that by comparison you find that your own efficiency is so amazing.

Cedric was choked by Adam's words, and finally found his voice:

"That is, Madam Puddifoot's Tea House, because it is suitable for dating, the business has not been greatly affected."

“Hmm…so I should open another boutique afternoon tea shop?”

Adam stroked his chin and thought:

"I also passed by Madam Puddifoot's Tea House and took a look. The layout is too random. The reason why so many people go there for dates is that it's quieter there and more suitable for dating than a noisy bar. Chunchun is a general among short people, and it's the habit left by her former seniors that makes her like this."

As he spoke, Adam's tone became much happier:

"If it were me, I would change the layout and design booths for dating couples, set up a photo wall, message wall and love locks at the door, and then launch various packages..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Are you planning on making all the shops in Hogsmeade yours?"

Cedric looked a little desperate:

"If so, I have only one request. When you acquire this teahouse, don't make too many changes. Leave a sweet memory for everyone who dated here before."

Looking at Adam's expression, he knew that Madam Puddifoot's Tea House would most likely not be able to defeat him. No, it would definitely not be able to defeat him!

Chapter 147 Make the Sun Great Again

"I just mentioned it casually. Maybe I won't want to open any other stores by then."

Adam drank a sip of milk tea, and when Cedric breathed a sigh of relief, he said quietly:

"Or maybe I can just take over Hogsmeade and turn it into a big shopping mall."

"…Are you kidding?"

Cedric asked tentatively.

"Hmm~ Who knows?"

Adam chewed his pearls, looking as if he wasn't responsible for any of the words.

He is planning to open an amusement park, so what does a shopping mall mean to him? Maybe he will actually do it when the time comes.

The first floor houses a pub, afternoon tea house, Dream Dessert Workshop and Cologne's exotic animals. The second floor sells student supplies, accessories and sundries, and there is also a branch of Magic Tricks. The third floor sells boy and girl clothes, ranging from affordable and second-hand to luxury brands. The fourth floor is a formal restaurant - which just divides Chinese, Western and wizarding specialties into several stores. There is also a cinema on the fifth floor!

Then there are several fast food milk tea and snacks on each floor, and a separate snack street on the basement floor. It's perfect~

If Hogwarts didn't forbid students from staying overnight in Hogsmeade, Adam could even open another floor of the inn!

The only thing he needs to worry about is that the Hogwarts students and Hogsmeade residents may not be able to withstand his fleecing... He really has to fleece the tourists too. Maybe he can even open another chain shopping mall in Diagon Alley?

Anyway, when Voldemort comes to power, the land price in Diagon Alley will probably plummet. If there are few buyers, Adam can just buy a piece of land and collect rent. If there are many buyers, Adam can just open a shopping mall in Diagon Alley.

Coming back to his senses, Adam looked at Cedric in front of him:

"By the way, why didn't you go on a date with Qiu today? Why did you come here to drink alone?"

Although it is butter beer, it is also alcohol.

Although coming to Hogsmeade seemed like a great opportunity to visit, Hogwarts Castle itself was large and magical enough that senior students were not very enthusiastic about coming to Hogsmeade without anything to buy.

"I came to find you after asking Cologne where you were."

Cedric took another sip of butterbeer, frowned and thought for a while before speaking:

"It's mainly because of Eugene's incident... He was too dedicated in training some time ago - I'm not saying that his dedication was bad, but his condition was very wrong, and he even seemed a little desperate..."

"I see."

After hearing this, Adam knew why Cedric came to him. He guessed that Cedric had also looked for Uther and the others before, but failed to get the answer, so he came to ask him in the end... Fortunately, he was the last one to be asked.

"Something happened at Eugene's home before, but it's been resolved now. He will be in good shape after this."

"Oh……"

Nodding, Cedric didn't ask any further questions, but since it was okay, that was good. After drinking the rest of the butter beer in one gulp, Cedric wiped the hops casually, raised his cup to signal, and left.

After having a quick meal of grilled chicken leg and rice at noon, Adam went directly to Colon's house. Colon's father Steven was already waiting for him there. As soon as Adam arrived, he took him directly to meet the person who was interested in selling the property.

The other party's son was transferred to India two years ago. Because he did a good job and thought the food there was good, he planned to settle down there. Besides, the treatment of British wizards in India is really good. After considering it for two years, the other party also intended to move there. Now it's just right that Adam plans to buy it.

Well... the food is good. He was speechless for a moment, but Cologne's father probably didn't tell the other party what Adam bought the land for.

By the way, the management of the wizarding world is really lax. Once you buy this land, you can do whatever you want with it as long as it is not illegal.

Because both parties were sincere about the deal, and with Cologne's father acting as a go-between, the transaction was completed very smoothly. After the contract was signed, the land and the house on it became Adam's. Because they left in a hurry, the other party didn't even take any large furniture with him.

Standing in front of the house, Adam nodded with satisfaction.

The house in front of me is at the corner of Hogsmeade Village, at the blunt-angled entrance of a "Y"-shaped intersection. Three roads lead to the bustling commercial area, residential area and edge of Hogsmeade Village - the area where rare birds and animals live.

It perfectly meets Adam's requirements and the dining needs of the Colon family.

"Houses in Hogsmeade are still in great demand. It was just a coincidence that I caught one this time. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find someone willing to sell it."

Adam was not too surprised to hear Steven's words. Hogsmeade itself is a famous tourist attraction, and it is next to Hogwarts, so of course it is very popular.
