Hogwarts Crawler.

After saying goodbye to Steven, Adam sat at the door of the newly purchased property and couldn't help but start thinking:

If he wanted to buy a large piece of land in Hogsmeade, then apart from spending money, he could only wait until Voldemort became powerful and Professor Snape became the headmaster. But the question was, did he want to keep Voldemort for that long?

Forget it. If Voldemort is eliminated too early, the entire British wizarding world will always be stagnant, with the corrupt and outdated Ministry of Magic, the nobles who claim to be pure-blooded... If Adam wants to become bigger and stronger, he will be bound by the existing rules and cannot move his hands and feet. Since there is Voldemort, a ready-made game changer, why not make good use of it?

Moreover, there is only so much wealth in the wizarding world. If Adam does not want to print money indiscriminately and cause inflation, but also wants to occupy some of the resources, then he can either make the pie bigger or clear out some of the people who have previously shared the pie.

However, only children make choices. Adam wants to have both the cake and the original cake. He wants to make the cake bigger, but he wants both the bigger cake and the original cake! If possible, Adam even wants to take this opportunity to take the financial system back from the goblins.

It's not that Adam loves money so much, it's mainly because these resources are the right to speak. If you don't take it, someone else will take it. Just look at Professor Dumbledore who chose to support Fudge instead of being the Minister of Magic. The most powerful wizard of this century was forced to step down as the headmaster...

Thinking of Professor Dumbledore, who had knocked out Fudge and others but could only leave through Fawkes, Adam felt it was not worth it. Does a good person really have to be pointed at with a gun?

Adam has to say sorry, he is not a good person... He was sorted into Hufflepuff not because of the Sorting Hat, but because he wanted to go there! Although he is sincere to his brothers, if you really look at it, Draco, the little Malfoy, can be regarded as innocent and kind compared to Adam!

Adam had no intention of playing power. He didn't understand that kind of thing, so he chose to play economics. With two cards and the magic stone in hand, he could beat anyone in this aspect, and the opponent had better pray that Adam only played economics with him...

By then, he will hold Gringotts in one hand and the monopoly of the British wizarding world in the other. Whether the wizarding world is in chaos or not will depend on Adam's decision!

He could even develop in the magic departments of other countries. The industrial dumping that the British Muggles did back then, couldn't Adam do it? Clothes and accessories, potion materials, magical animals and their derivative products... The cost of these things on Adam's side was so low that it would make anyone despair!

It's time to make the British Sun great again!

Chapter 148 Dormitory Meeting

Christmas is coming, and the earth is covered with silver.

The dark hand that would later loom over the entire wizarding world was now dozing off in front of the fireplace, holding a cat.

Fudge came to Hogwarts some time ago and took away Pettigrew and the Dementors outside Hogwarts, but the wanted warrant for Sirius was still not removed.

Apart from that, there was nothing else to do. The decoration of the shop was also on track. Life in Hogwarts was really easy and comfortable...

"We are back~"

The door of the dormitory was pushed open, and Cologne couldn't help but retract his foot when he saw Adam waking up on the sofa.

"It's okay, I'm awake, come in."

Adam stretched and shook his head out of habit, then he remembered that he was still in human form, so he grabbed two handfuls of hair and looked towards the dormitory door.

Very good, all four of them are back.

Meeting!

The four of them put their bags away, sat on the sofa, and took some melon seeds and candies from the plates and started eating.

"Ahem! This meeting mainly involves the following matters."

Adam pushed the glasses frame he got from somewhere and looked at the parchment in his hand:

"First, regarding the small shop, the decoration of the Dream Dessert Workshop has been completed and it is planned to open on the weekend before Christmas, so the small shop naturally does not need to bear such a heavy dessert sales business."

Yes, it is cumbersome. You know, Adam relied on his Clow Cards, so he could come up with any new product he wanted - from shortbread cakes to candied lotus root and eight-treasure porridge, he sold everything.

Just for candies, how many combinations of shapes and flavors are there?

This meant that it took Uther and his friends a long time to remember which desserts were in which part of the dining car, and they are still not very clear about it now.

Now Adam directly puts most of the desserts that can be stored for a long time, such as candies and biscuits, in the Fantasy Dessert Workshop for sale, and the convenience store only needs to sell desserts that are more instant, such as milk tea and four-fruit soup.

Of course, no one had any objection to this. The grocery store was originally Adam's property, and if they were not helping to look after Adam, there would be no need to tell them.

"Come to think of it, Adam, you were planning to hire me and Eugene as store managers before, so why is Ambrosio the store manager now?"

Bernard said, stroking his chin.

"Because I found a job that is more suitable for you..."

The plan was messed up, but Adam glanced at the parchment, which only had a few random outlines written on it, so he simply threw it aside and continued:

"By the way, would any of you like to be the Minister of Magic?"

"……what?"

When these words came out, the four of them were stunned.

"No...how...do you have any connections?"

Bernard couldn't help but speak.

That's the Minister of Magic! If he were a Muggle, he'd be the Prime Minister of Britain!

How come it comes out of your mouth as casually as opening a branch and appointing a store manager?

"Ah."

Adam nodded:

"It's quite complicated to explain in detail, so I'll just make it short - the You-Know-Who is about to be resurrected, and he will probably clean up the Ministry of Magic by then. After that, I have enough confidence to push you to the position of Minister of Magic - as long as you are willing."

"Etc., etc--"

Uther rubbed his temple. Actually, he learned this from Adam:

"Why don't you be more specific and tell a long story? Your brief summary is a bit too concise and contains too much information... First of all, who is the mysterious man?"

"The mysterious man, could it be that..."

Cologne couldn't help but blanched:

"The one who was defeated by Harry Potter..."

"Yeah, that's it."

"Isn't he already dead?"

"Dead, but not completely dead."

Adam nodded:

"He has been in the state of a residual soul, and will be resurrected in a year or two."

"hiss--"

Cologne couldn't help but gasp.

"Did you divine this?"

Eugene looked at Adam thoughtfully.

"Half reasoning and half divination, mainly reasoning. Do you still remember our first Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

"Professor Quirrell?"

"Yes, Voldemort was on him at the time. The basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets in the second year was also created by Voldemort's Horcrux."

"Horcrux..."

Uther frowned:

"No wonder you said he was dead but not completely dead."

"Hmm? You know about Horcruxes?"

Looking at Uther, Adam was a little surprised.

"As for researching how to revive and how to be immortal, our family is quite famous, right?"

After hearing Uther's explanation, Adam thought about it and agreed:

"Then why did they mummify themselves instead of using Horcruxes to prolong their lives?"

"Because the Horcrux extends life in the world of the living, and the world of the living does not need an immortal pharaoh."

Uther shook his head.

"And the divided soul is not recognized by the god Amun-Ra."

Adam understood.

No one will care if you go to the underworld and never gain eternal life. Anyway, no one can really know what happens in the underworld. But if you want to live forever in the world of the living, you have to ask your son, wife, and ministers whether they agree.

What? You alone will have eternal life?

In this situation, if the Pharaoh loses the approval of the god Amun-Ra, it will be very difficult for him to survive. His leg is still twitching and it must have been wrapped in linen.

Osiris misses you in the underworld!

Uther explained to everyone what a Horcrux was, saving Adam the trouble of doing so. During this time, Adam made a drink for everyone.

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!

“Why is mine brown sugar ginger tea?”

Cologne couldn't help but frown after taking a sip.

"You and Eugene both have brown sugar ginger tea. It's cold now and you have to train in the snow, don't catch a cold. I only added two slices of peeled ginger five minutes before serving, so the ginger taste won't be too strong."

Since Adam said so, he could only drink Cologne in small sips, but Eugene looked calm.

What a joke! When Adam didn't know how to use the purifying spell to remove the onions, ginger and garlic from the dishes, he would taste ginger disguised as minced fish meat three or four times out of ten when he ate braised fish fillets. He has become completely immune to this little bit of ginger taste!

Back to the topic, Adam didn't say much about the future, he just said that the mysterious man will definitely be resurrected, and everyone just needs to be prepared when the time comes.

"Should I ask my parents to go abroad for a while then?"

Bernard could not help but frown. He had some understanding of the mysterious man. He knew that he was a fanatical supporter of pure-blood theory and that many of his Death Eaters enjoyed torturing and slaughtering Muggles.

"It better be this way."

Adam nodded:

"The mysterious man's hand cannot reach abroad for the time being. If you need it, I can provide a safe house."

Uther had mentioned the safe house on the Hogwarts Express at the beginning of the school year. Bernard's eyes lit up when he heard it:

"I'll go back and talk to my parents during the holidays."

"Ah."

As for the remaining three people, Uther doesn't need to worry, and Eugene and Colon's families are fine too. Their families naturally have ways to protect themselves, and as long as they don't raise flags to openly oppose Voldemort, there is no need to worry about the safety of their families.

Anyway, Adam had already prepared a safe house for his family, so there would be no need for any persuasion when the time came. After all, his grandparents had gone directly to China to hide there back then, and they obviously understood the principle of saving people and losing land. Ms. Li and Mr. Reed's store was not so dependent on people.

If it really doesn't work out, just close those industries and reopen them later. Do Asia's future oligarchs still need those little things?

Chapter 149 Have you finally made up your mind to rob Gringotts?

Bernard still had to go back and ask his family about the issue of moving and seeking refuge, so the topic returned to the selection of the Minister of Magic.

"Are you really so confident that you can push someone to the position of Minister of Magic?"

Bernard still found it hard to understand. Cologne nodded silently:

"Yeah, it always feels awkward for a few of us students to discuss this kind of issue."

"Don't worry about this, just treat it as a casual remark."

Adam waved his hand casually.

"Hmm...Minister of Magic, this kind of politician would be boring."

Bernard looked confused.

"I also can."

Eugene didn't react.

"Then let's go with Eugene. Eugene is indeed suitable to be the Minister of Magic. He looks more stable."

Bernard：???

"What do you mean? Don't I look stable?"

The four of them looked at Bernard, who was filled with righteous indignation, and then carefully examined him from head to toe, then shook their heads in unison.

Bernard: ...I'm angry, but I can't do anything.

"In comparison, I think another career is more suitable for you."
