Hogwarts Crawler

"Forget it. I hope that after the wizards' strength level is raised, someone will be strong enough for me to play with... before my middle school, no, hot-blooded soul burns out."

Adam thought that this should be no problem. As the saying goes, a man is a teenager until he dies.

After adjusting his mentality, Adam looked at the shrunken Blackie, who was now on his shoulder, and his tail even shook out a residual image.

Although meat and nuclear energy are both on Blackie's menu, Blackie still prefers nuclear energy - probably because its real body is too big, and it takes a long time to replenish enough energy by eating meat.

But Adam always felt that eating that thing was not as healthy as meat, so he rarely fed it nuclear reactors.

"It's just that we're having New Year's Eve dinner tonight, so I'll get you a few more nuclear reactors to eat, so you can eat as much as you want."

The natural disaster just now seemed to be just an illusion. All the traces that shouldn't exist around were purified and eliminated, and Adam's figure and voice dissipated in the wind.

After the sun rose the next day, Scrimgeour slowly opened his eyes.

The previous memories were a bit confusing. Scrimgeour sat up, holding his head. It took him a few seconds to sort out his memories. He subconsciously pulled out his wand and looked around.

With a vigilant look, Scrimgeour found himself sitting at the gate of Hogwarts, and there were Aurors from the Ministry of Magic lying all around him.

Was last night... an illusion?

Scrimgeour fell into self-doubt with an ugly face.

Calling all the Aurors around him, Scrimgeour dispelled the idea that last night was all an illusion. The Aurors who were injured in the explosion still had marks on their bodies.

In addition, not all the Aurors who disappeared in the Black Lake returned. Three of them were missing, and those who returned had... marks that had not faded.

According to what those people said after they woke up, although they didn't seem to be very conscious at the time, they could remember that they had spent a wonderful night with the mermaids in the Black Lake.

Wonderful... night?

After becoming the Minister of Magic, he was exposed to more information, especially during this period, Hogwarts was also included in the imaginary enemy. After checking the information and knowing what the Mermaid of the Black Lake looked like, Scrimgeour looked at his subordinates who were still unsatisfied, and couldn't help showing an expression like an old man on the subway.

Are you really hungry... You can do this?

By the way, couldn't those three people die rather than surrender, and were killed by the angry mermaid, so they couldn't come back?

However, in fact, those three people fell in love with the mermaids after they woke up, and wanted to stay with the mermaids forever... Strictly speaking, the mermaids who were born less than a year ago had never seen such a scene, so they fell in love.

Ah... Just one night...?

For this situation, Adam could only say that people's XP is free. Although he didn't understand it, he respected it.

He just reminded them that mermaids are different from humans. They are creatures that attach great importance to emotions and are loyal. Then he let them stay in Hogwarts as temporary workers.

Since they are all family members, we can't let them be killed by Voldemort. Let's stay in Hogwarts for a while.

As for the possibility that they will change their minds later, it is definitely possible. Even if they are sincere now, who can guarantee that they will not change their minds in the future?

But Adam has reminded them of the difference between mermaids and humans. If they finally change their minds and leave and are eaten by mermaids, it is their own choice.

After checking the Aurors, it seems that there are no other personnel losses except the three missing people. Scrimgeour's face is still very ugly.

Not only because of the three missing people, but also because of them... After asking around, no one knows what happened in front of Hogwarts Castle in the end. What several people said is similar to Scrimgeour's own memory.

However, after checking now, there is no trace on them... Is it an illusion?

Scrimgeour's face twitched, and he threw the thought out of his mind. After what happened last night, it would be too self-deceiving to blame it on hallucinations.

He didn't believe it before because of his own experience, and now he is deceiving himself after seeing it for real. What's the difference between him and Fudge who denied Voldemort's return before?

But...

Scrimgeour raised his head and glanced at the iron gate in front of him. Everything was the same as when they first came last night.

There is no doubt that the power of Hogwarts is now beyond his imagination. He needs to reconsider the Ministry of Magic's position and approach to Hogwarts...

"Retreat!"

After a night, the Ministry of Magic team, which had lost three people, hurried away from Hogwarts. After walking out of a certain range, they used Apparition to leave one by one.

"After all, I am too soft-hearted and can't do it~"Adam touched Spi with one hand and Xiao Ke with the other, and sighed:

"I hope they can enjoy their lives in the half month before they are killed by the Death Eaters and Voldemort."

Originally, Adam did intend to let the merman kill a few of them, but at the last minute, he changed his mind and thought that it would be better for Hogwarts not to leave such a violent impression on people, anyway, they would not live long if they were allowed to go back.

By then, Voldemort and his men would kill people everywhere, what does it have to do with him, Gandalf?

Xiao Ke paused in his snoring voice, and could not help but open his eyes and look at Adam speechlessly.

Listen to yourself, is what you said still human?

The next day, Professor Gandalf did not show up, and Professor McGonagall introduced several new members of the Hogwarts faculty and staff to everyone, who would help Professor Grindelwald share some of the work.

Those three people are at least working Aurors. Although their fighting power is a bit weak because of the peacetime, their foundation and talent are still there. Grindelwald can easily recruit students in grades three, four and five.

So Professor Grindelwald's life has become more leisurely...

"Adam, I don't think this is a solution..."

That day, Professor McGonagall and his friends found Adam.

After a talk, Adam knew their purpose.

In short, the reform of Hogwarts not only made the students laugh, but also gave the professors a lot of work to do.

Originally, everyone was quite enthusiastic, thinking that there were finally more educational resources to use, even if it was a little more tiring than before, it was still worth it to see the students' abilities continue to improve.

But now, seeing that Professor Grindelwald is getting more and more leisurely, they are still exhausted, especially as the end of the semester is approaching, the professors have to admit that their energy is a little insufficient.

"Of course, in fact, I wanted to mention this to you, but if I said it, you might think I was questioning your ability, so I didn't mention it."

Adam smiled slightly:

"Hogwarts is currently recruiting talents with outstanding abilities in various subjects to serve as teachers. I believe that since you have come to me, you should have a suitable candidate in mind, right?"

Yes, but...

Professor McGonagall and the others originally just wanted to add a few positions similar to teaching assistants, but Adam's tone seems to be that he wants to recruit more formal professors!
