Hogwarts Crawler

It was clear that Li Cuoda and Li Cuoye were not the only ones who doubted their ears. Of course, there were also people who did not doubt themselves but others.

"Sister, there should be a limit to joking..."

The speaker was the fourth aunt, a witch from the United States, who came back with the fourth uncle this time. Her face was full of disbelief:

"Do you think we know nothing about Hogsmeade?"

"... Hogsmeade is the village next to the school."

Adam looked at the back of the fourth aunt and spoke silently:

"The magic school in the UK is called Hogwarts."

The fourth aunt was silent for a while, then waved her hand indifferently:

"It doesn't matter what it's called. You probably don't know that the people who really have the say in Western magic schools are the board of directors. Those people would never hand over things like banquets to a student..."

Board of directors...

Adam felt a subtle feeling in his heart for a moment. The board of directors had almost become a victim in recent years. When he first heard about this organization, he felt a phantom pain in his conscience.

But this did not interrupt Adam's train of thought:

"Aunt may not know that the current headmaster of Hogwarts is Professor Albus Dumbledore."

Looking at his aunt who turned her head, Adam smiled slightly:

"It's Professor Dumbledore who defeated Grindelwald. If I say so, will you be more familiar with this name? By the way, which state does your family live in? Maybe the next door was bombed by Grindelwald."

Aunt couldn't help but move her fingers.

Is this human language?

However, Grindelwald...

Compared to the Dark Lord Voldemort, Grindelwald's reputation in the UK may not be so loud, but in the world, the latter's reputation is far greater than the former.

After all, Voldemort's power was blocked by Professor Dumbledore before it left the UK, and he collapsed halfway, but Grindelwald's witch party directly declared war on the global wizarding world, and the United States was one of the important battlefields.

As for Dumbledore, she was the wizard who finally defeated Grindelwald. She knew that.

"So, Fourth Aunt should be able to understand that the Board of Directors does not have much say in front of Professor Dumbledore on matters related to Hogwarts."

"..."

Fourth Aunt's face was very ugly.

First of all, Adam's words showed that what Ms. Li said just now was probably true. She made this judgment not because of Dumbledore, but because Adam responded to her words so quickly and fluently. Such a character shows that he lived a good life in Hogwarts, at least completely different from the life of the No-Maj in the magic school she imagined.

Secondly, being pointed out by a junior and humiliated was not something that Fourth Aunt could easily accept.

Seeing the scene fall into an awkward silence, the foreigner said:

"Dumbledore... I remember Minister Wang once mentioned that he was a great wizard."

Minister Wang was obviously the Minister of the Chinese Ministry of Magic, and it was normal for him to have had contact with Professor Dumbledore.

My aunt had spoken, and my fourth aunt stopped talking.

Adam also stopped when he saw the good.

He could understand the mentality of my fourth aunt. The Magical Congress of the United States of America is a very young magic organization, and even the United States is very young, which has led to a relatively closer relationship between American wizards and the Muggle world.

This does not mean that American wizards do not discriminate against Muggles - for wizards, Muggles are neutral words, and No-Maj is a derogatory word - but that their contemporary concepts are highly unified with those of ordinary people, unlike the wizarding world in other regions, which seems to be decades or even centuries behind the Muggle world.

At a time when the Soviet Union has collapsed and the United States dominates the world, American wizards, like ordinary people in the United States, have a sense of superiority over wizards in other countries.

Ms. Li's words just now offended this sense of superiority, so it is normal for her to feel unhappy and then refute, but Adam will not indulge her.

After all, the ancestors are the ancestors. Adam can't do anything to make Ms. Li sad. If he fights back, Ms. Li will be even sadder, but the fourth aunt...

Anyway, it's better to get used to the fact that the sense of superiority is offended. After all, in the next few decades or even longer, will the sense of superiority of the United States be offended less?

After the episode, everyone at least didn't take it to heart on the surface, but the fourth uncle and his wife were inevitably a little out of place in the happy atmosphere of the family.

Adam glanced at the fourth uncle, who looked like he was stuck between his wife and sister, and tried not to make the atmosphere more awkward - in this era, it is normal for a Chinese wizard to go to the United States and marry an American wizard to become the weaker party in the marriage.

In any case, the reunion of the family after more than ten years can be considered harmonious.The meal ended very late.

What surprised Adam was that several uncles and grandparents prepared red envelopes for him.

"You always need red envelopes when you go home for the first time. It's not much, just to ask for good luck, so keep it."

"Then I won't be polite~"

Adam took several thick red envelopes and put them in his shoulder bag, with a little curiosity in his eyes.

Although it is impossible to open the red envelopes now, you can still feel that there are banknotes inside. What currency is it?

Seeing this, Ms. Li touched her bag. Red envelopes cannot be accepted casually. Parents are elders, so it's okay, but she has to return the ones given by her brothers. It doesn't matter how much, but the meaning must be shown.

But she hasn't been back for too long, and she was nervous before, so she forgot about it. Now there is money in the bag, but it would be embarrassing if she didn't take the red envelopes and gave it away...

Fortunately, Adam was prepared...or he could prepare on the spot.

"Cousin, cousin, this is for you."

Adam took out two small bottles from his bag and handed them to Li Cuoye and Li Cuoda:

"One bottle of Lucky Spirit for each person. I didn't prepare a red envelope, so don't be disgusted."

"What is Lucky Spirit?"

Li Cuoda took the bottle and turned it around in his hand. There was no instruction manual printed on the bottle...

"Lucky Potion?"

Li Cuoye's eyes lit up. Obviously, he had heard of the name of Lucky Spirit.

Then Li Cuoye explained to Li Cuoda the preciousness and effect of Lucky Spirit. Li Cuoda couldn't help but look at the small bottle in his hand:

"Can drinking this medicine really make people lucky?"

"In fact, it's not accurate. The real effect of Lucky Spirit can keep all people in the best state, whether it is nerve reaction, emotional control or spellcasting ability, etc. In this case, of course, everything will become smoother, as if luck has improved."

The light in the eyes of the two people holding Lucky Spirit did not go out but brightened.

With this explanation, the Lucky Potion actually sounds more reliable than the simple lucky potion!

"I've heard of the reputation of the Lucky Potion, but today is the first time I've seen it. It turns out that the real effect of this potion is like this."

The third uncle looked at the Lucky Potion in his son's hand in surprise, and couldn't help but be a little greedy:

"I heard that the preparation of this potion is extremely complicated, and it takes a full six months to complete. I'm afraid there are no more than two dozen potion masters in the world who are capable of brewing it."

You should know that the preparation of the Lucky Potion is not only cumbersome, but also difficult and time-consuming. The materials are extremely expensive. Once a mistake is made, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also cost money.

Therefore, even if the potion master is capable of brewing the Lucky Potion, he rarely brews it. More often, others bring materials and deposits to entrust them to the door. If successful, they will pay the balance, and if failed, the deposit will not be refunded.

Under these conditions, not everyone has the way to find someone to entrust them to brew it!

That is to say, Professor Snape can ask the school board to reimburse the potion consumables, and he has enough free time, so he has extra Felicis.
