Hogwarts Crawler

"What is that place? A recycling station?"

"It seems there is no such thing in the wizarding world, Bernard."

Adam stared at the sign for a while, and finally made out what the crooked words on it said.

"The Hog's Head?"

"That's the Hog's Head?"

Uther looked at Colon who was exclaiming beside him, and couldn't help but say:

"Didn't you grow up in Hogsmeade? Why don't you know the Hog's Head?"

"That's a bar! I've only been to the Three Broomsticks twice with Kelly, not to mention this..."

Cologne looked at the Hog's Head, which was obviously dirtier than the Three Broomsticks, and his eyelids jumped:

"... a bar."

Then, Colon turned around and planned to leave:

"Let's go, there are sometimes a lot of weird people in places like this, it's best not to get close."

"Oh?"

Hearing Colon's words, Bernard's eyes lit up:

"Weird people... a dirty bar... this is not a black market or illegal trading gathering place, right?"

"..."

Adam's eyelids twitched when he heard it, and he looked at Colon.

Why did you remind him...

Two minutes later, Bernard successfully persuaded everyone to go to the Hog's Head with him.

"I advise you not to hold your hopes too high."

Adam sighed and poured cold water on Bernard who was waiting in high spirits:

"The owner of the Hog's Head is Professor Dumbledore's brother. Even if someone conducts illegal transactions in private, it is unlikely to become a black market."

"Professor Dumbledore's brother?"

Uther glanced at Adam:

"Adam, who knows everything, you know this again?"

"Since you plan to open a store in Hogsmeade, it is reasonable for me to do research on Hogsmeade in advance, right?"

Adam looked as if it was a matter of course.

Pushing open the door of the Hog's Head, Bernard's eyes dimmed a little after scanning the area.

The cups on the bar counter were covered with a layer of turbid oil, a few drunkards were lying on the table in the corner, and there was a pool of vomit on the ground that had not been cleaned up... All of this showed that this place was indeed as Adam said, it was just an ordinary bar, and it was a very low-level one.

The only thing that made people's eyes bright but also confused was the portrait on the wall of the bar. The melancholy girl did not match the style of this bar at all.

Adam looked deeply at the portrait, and when he saw a certain part, his pupils shrank, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Get out!"

A loud voice sounded like thunder, and Adam and his friends followed the sound and saw a tall, thin, gray-haired and bespectacled old man walking towards them.

"Little brats who are still studying at Hogwarts, this is not the place for you to come!"

Aberforth Dumbledore just took a look at their school uniforms and began to chase them away rudely.

The four people who didn't want to come here turned around and left immediately. Bernard wanted to stay for a while to observe, but he was pushed out before he could say anything.

"Oh my God, is that old man related to Hagrid?"

Bernard bent his arm and pinched his biceps. Although he was not as gifted as Eugene, he still had some muscles. Why was he pushed by an old man over a hundred years old and had no power to fight back?

"Don't think too much. You've seen it just now. There's nothing you want. Let's go."

Adam sighed and patted Bernard on the shoulder:

"If you really want to see something exciting, wait until you can beat Uther and me in dueling, and I'll recommend a place for you."

"Huh? How does this have anything to do with me?"

"Aren't you in need of a sparring partner? Bernard's hobby is a bit dangerous, so you two can improve together."

Uther really learned a lot from Professor Flitwick. According to him, Professor Flitwick said he was very talented and could participate in the youth group competition of the dueling competition before graduation to gain experience.

During the summer vacation, Uther also planned to find Adam as a practical sparring partner, but he had no dueling experience at all. Even if Adam didn't use the magic he learned from the Clow Cards, who could stand the fact that all the combat spells were silent and wandless?

As for forcing Adam to use a wand to perform the casting movements and recite the spells before casting?

Regardless of whether Adam can get used to it, Uther is not thick-skinned enough to do that.

Looking at Bernard with a burning gaze, Uther nodded after a little thought.

This seems to be a good idea!

It just so happens that Cologne and Eugene will be training Quidditch next, and Adam will be an assistant coach. Without three brothers to play with, the two of them have nothing to do in their spare time except helping Adam set up the stall.I didn't know what to do for a while, and now I have something to do.

Bernard actually had some objections to this request at first. Whether he could beat Uther or not, when he could beat Adam...wasn't Adam's decision?

But after thinking about it carefully, Adam was not the kind of pedantic guy who said "It's not good to go to the black market, so I won't let you go to the black market". He would stop me only because my strength was not enough to return safely from the black market.

After thinking about this, Bernard accepted this request. He didn't know the black market for wizards, but he knew the black market for Muggles. If he didn't have enough strength to go to the black market, he would be delivered to the door. Before that, he should hone himself well.

Seeing that both of them accepted it, Adam was also very satisfied with it.

In fact, he had another purpose that he didn't explain, that is, Uther learned dueling from Professor Flitwick. Adam was a little worried that his fighting style would be influenced by Professor Flitwick and become too... academic.

In short, he might be too rule-abiding, and it would be easy to suffer when encountering unruly people, and Uther's identity meant that his opponents would not be very rule-abiding.

Bernard is the kind of wilder person. The good news is that he is not afraid of encountering unruly people, because it is more likely that he is more unruly than the other party. The bad news is that people can't help but worry that he will break the law and report to Azkaban after the fight.

It is very troublesome to rescue someone from Azkaban. If things go wrong, Voldemort will come back to life and blow up the Ministry of Magic and Azkaban again. Adam feels tired just thinking about it.

Now these two people are practicing against each other, just to get along with each other and learn from each other's strengths. It's perfect!

After that, the five of them wandered around Hogsmeade for a while, such as Zonko's Joke Shop, a famous attraction in Hogsmeade.

"I used to think the toys in Zonko's Joke Shop were good, but now I see... they seem to be worse than Fred and George?"

Cologne's expression was a little disappointed, that was the expression after the beautiful memories of childhood were broken.

"Zonko is too old. He has emptied his mind of ideas. Fred and George are younger and more creative. You think it's normal."

"Will they be like this when they get old?"

"... Maybe. I'm not sure."

Adam recalled that there was only one twin left in the original story line who loved to laugh and make trouble. Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes might not launch new products in a few years. It's hard to imagine how painful George would feel to come up with prank props by himself after Fred's death. Which one would be more tormented to look in the mirror?

After getting along with each other, Adam realized more deeply what kind of big knife this was. In the two years since he first met the twins, he has never seen them separate. They even go to the toilet together.

Well... the twins can't die like before, but I can't eat the knife alone. I have to find a way to send the knife out.

When he graduates, maybe he can write a set of "Harry Potter" to publish?

That way, I can send out all the knives that have been used, but I feel like Professor Snape will come to my door if I do that...
