Hogwarts Crawler

Seeing that Adam didn't reply for a long time and was already inclined to refuse, Fred gritted his teeth and said:

"If you agree, we can give you 60% of the profit of the quick-acting skipping candy!"

George added:

"No more, we must at least recover the research and development funds of the quick-acting skipping candy."

This is already the bottom line of their psychological price.

Adam's thinking was interrupted by the words of the two people, and he looked at the twins in front of him in surprise.

What he didn't know was that the existence of his small shop stimulated Fred and George in a sense. They felt that their genius ideas could also be operated and monetized, so they accelerated the research and development of the quick-acting skipping candy. As a result, the cost of the quick-acting skipping candy coming out early was to make the brothers' already limited funds worse.

In other words, they might, probably, possibly... have to borrow another sum of money from Adam to make the first batch of finished products after the quick-acting skipping candy is developed. However, they are afraid of scaring Adam away, so they didn't tell Adam all at once.

In addition, Fred and George had to consider that no one could guarantee whether the quick-acting skipping candy could really sell well, and they needed a senior with business experience to help them.

It must be said that the fact that the research and development of the quick-acting skipping candy was not as smooth as expected was a big blow to them, causing some frustration in their confidence.

In addition to the above and the subsequent research and development of the quick-acting skipping candy, what they need now is a partner with sufficient dessert making experience, store management experience and sufficient funds.

To put it more bluntly... If they still want to carry on their dream business as soon as possible, they must win Adam's cooperation.

"..."

Seeing that the two people's eyes were full of anxiety and expectations for their dreams, Adam thought for a while:

"Okay, we can try to cooperate on the quick-acting skipping candy first."

"Great!"

The twins rushed to hug Adam, but Adam put his hand on his shoulder:

"Wait, don't be happy yet. I need a detailed plan, such as how high you plan to control the cost of the quick-acting skipping candy, the target population, etc., and the specific matters of cooperation also need to be signed in a contract."

Seeing Adam's professional look, the twins nodded and wrote it down and said it was no problem.

"We will give you what you want before tomorrow night~"

"See you later!"

Adam shook his head as he looked at the two people running away. That was not something that could be completed in one day. He would know when they wrote it.

After rushing to the auditorium to finish lunch, Adam didn't expect to be found again on the way back.

"Adam! Do you remember us?"

"Of course, Hermione, Ron, and Harry."

Adam looked at the trio in front of him, smiling with some doubt:

"Do you want to talk to me about something?"

It was obvious that the other party still remembered him after not seeing him for a long time, which made the three of them happy, especially Ron:

"We want to ask you when your store usually opens."

"Ron?!"

Hermione stared at him in disbelief.

"Ah - of course - ahem, there is another thing I want to ask you by the way - do you know Nicolas Flamel?"

Ron suddenly remembered the business and added awkwardly.

"Except for holidays and special instructions, I will open the North Tower every Saturday afternoon."

After answering Ron's first question, Adam looked at Hermione:

"As for Nicolas Flamel, I haven't heard of this name."

"Is that so... okay."

Hermione sighed with some disappointment.

She had inquired about Adam's recent situation before. Unlike the twins who were more concerned about Adam's business, Hermione paid more attention to Adam's studies.

Thanks to two guys who forgot about the investigation during the holiday, their investigation progress was still 0 after a holiday. She thought that asking Adam, an excellent student, might give her some clues.

Now it seems that Adam doesn't know either.

"Can I ask why you are looking for this name?"

"It's like this, we previously..."

What shocked Adam was that Harry and the others did not hide anything from him, and directly told him about the whole thing they were investigating, and added "Don't tell anyone casually" at the end.

Emmm...

Your casually telling anyone, do you mean that if someone asks you about your purpose of inquiring about Nicolas Flamel, you will tell the whole thing?

"So if you find any information related to Nicolas Flamel, remember to tell us."

"... OK."

Adam showed an embarrassed but polite expression.Smile then quickened her pace with a headache.

"It's a bit strange."

Hermione narrowed her eyes at Adam's back.

"Strange? What's strange?"

"I can't really say... It's just a feeling that Adam should know something about Nicolas Flamel, and his reaction is a bit too bland."

Hermione looked at Harry:

"Normally, when hearing that Harry's abnormality in the Quidditch match was caused by Professor Snape, there should be some special reaction, right? But he acted too normal, as if..."

"As if he knew about it a long time ago!"

Harry clapped his hands and said.

"Right! It seems that we have found some clues..."

Hermione nodded and looked at Harry and Ron:

"You two, take turns to follow Adam and see if you can find any clues."

"We?!"

"Or you go to the library and I'll follow Adam?"

"Uh... okay."

Harry felt dizzy just thinking about the words all over his eyes, so it would be more convenient to follow Adam.

Ron looked at Hermione and then at Harry, thinking that they were probably too sensitive, but he had no good ideas, so he could only remain silent.

…

After that day, Adam was somewhat troubled to find that Harry and Ron often appeared beside him for some reason, usually only one of them, and they didn't come to find him, just following from a distance.

After following for a long time, the Hufflepuff classmates also found that they seemed to be following Adam. Cedric came to Adam while eating in the hall:

"What's wrong with those guys? Do you want us to help you solve it?"

Even if they are saviors, they can't bully them Hufflepuffs!

Not to mention the Hufflepuff chef!

Adam glanced in the direction of the Gryffindor long table and saw that the trio immediately looked like they were eating seriously. He sighed helplessly:

"No need, they don't have any bad intentions... I'll solve it."

It seems that it's time to find Professor Dumbledore.

As a result, when he arrived at the door of the principal's office, Adam unexpectedly found that the passwords in the principal's office were all wrong.

Could it be that they changed to some kind of dessert I made?

Adam didn't plan to perform the name-calling in front of the principal's office. He probably guessed that Professor Dumbledore was either not there or didn't want to see him... Then he had to find another way.

Once, when Ron was trying to follow Adam quietly, he was suddenly hugged by a figure who jumped out from the side:

"Hey! Ron, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you interested in trying the new candy that my brother has researched?"

"What are you talking about? Didn't we just meet this morning? Let me go. I don't have time now. Ugh--"
