Chapter 119 An Extraordinary Night
"Professor Dumbledore, what's wrong?"
Looking at the innocent-looking Adam in front of him, Professor Dumbledore couldn't help but lower his voice and said:
"Mr. Reed, I must remind you that as a chef, it is unethical to cook for someone at a banquet."
Forgetting the candy before, he took a sip of Fox. It was just large maltose, and the big and small ones didn't matter much.
But the plate of dessert that followed was just too much!
"Turn on a small stove? Me? Do you have one?"
Adam recalled that he did make some extra barbecue, but it was a midnight snack and he hadn't had time to take it out yet!
"Of course!"
Professor Dumbledore secretly pointed in the direction of Professor Scamander:
"Look at the table in front of Newt Scamander!"
Adam took a look and saw that he had one more plate of desserts than the others...
"The bones are removed from meat and fish, the dessert man is the biggest, and even the fruit is peeled and cut into small pieces——"
Professor Dumbledore became a little excited as he spoke, and lowered his voice a little:
"Forget it, you even gave him an extra dessert!"
"Ahem..."
Adam coughed a little guiltily, but couldn't help but explain:
"Isn't it that Professor Scamander is already over ninety years old..."
"..."
Professor Dumbledore glanced at the white beard on his chest and couldn't help but remind Adam:
"He was also my student back then, and I'm much older than him!"
Adam was speechless for a moment, and finally choked out:
"Really? Professor, you take good care of yourself."
Professor Dumbledore: "@%￥%!"
"And Professor Scamander is not a new professor. He has only taught us for one year. Of course, he must take good care of him."
"What about Professor Lupin?"
Hearing Professor Dumbledore's faint question, Adam didn't feel guilty at all this time:
"How old is Professor Scamander, and how old is Professor Lupin?"
No matter what, Adam still added a dessert to the other professors before returning to the Hufflepuff table.
"Oh! Adam, you are finally back, we left it for you!"
On the plate in front of Adam, the dishes everyone left for him piled up into a small mountain, and the various containers in front were almost empty now.
As the saying goes, a young man eats a poor man. Especially when the food is delicious enough, the few remaining dishes are too troublesome to eat because they are fish.
Badgers who still have more to say: You have a lot of ambition but not enough ability!
Eugene who moves his chopsticks crazily: Doesn’t this illustrate the importance of learning the skill of picking fish bones?
"By the way Adam, didn't you say there was a surprise? What was the surprise?"
"Surprise? Isn't it on your plate?"
"plate?"
Ernie glanced at the plate in front of him. Apart from the bones, there was only...
"Is it this Copper Nat? I thought you accidentally included it!"
Ernie couldn't help but frowned as he said:
"So, the surprise is a copper nut?"
Although it is indeed satisfying to pay for food...but it is still far from the surprise they imagined before.
"No, you'll know when you're halfway through eating."
Adam sold himself out.
In the middle of the dinner, Adam stood up and cast a loud spell on himself:
"Everyone! You may eat the Copper Nuts I put in any food at the banquet that can hide Copper Nuts. There are ten Copper Nuts on the long table of each college. You are lucky enough to eat them. Those who can claim the final prize~”
After dinner, the professors left first. Adam walked to the front and asked everyone to come forward with the copper nuts they had eaten before to receive the prizes.
"Students who have eaten copper nut, please come forward with your copper nut~"
A total of forty-seven people finally stood in front of Adam, each holding a copper nut in his hand and claiming that he had eaten it.
"This Copper Nut is specially made by me. Please use your brains. How could I use the Copper Nut that everyone has as a lucky draw tool?"
Adam unceremoniously eliminated one Gryffindor, three Ravenclaws and six Slytherins.
"Bang!"
The Staff of Darkness hit the ground heavily, and the gleaming spikes on it made the young wizards who wanted to say something else swallow their words.
Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick, who were waiting outside the side door of the auditorium to enter and award prizes, saw this scene and were a little confused for a moment, and exchanged slightly embarrassed looks with each other.
"Any other students want to try to find it? Just a reminder, every food you find must be eaten~"
Adam looked at the four long tables. Everyone looked at the remaining things on the table. Most of them shook their heads. Only a few of them took a small cake and stuffed it into their mouths with the mentality of giving it a try. It was obvious. , still not found.
Adam also underestimated the delicious food he cooked. As long as they could still eat it, they would not stop.
"So……"
Adam took out his wand and waved it, and a special copper nut flew from the Slytherin table to Adam's hand. Put the copper nat on the table, plus the original thirty-seven copper nat on the table, a total of thirty-eight, and two more...
Adam glanced at Gryffindor and Slytherin, who were missing someone, and was silent for a few seconds.
You two...have a great appetite.
"Although the specially made copper nut tastes the same as copper nut, it is edible and should have been digested by now...then these places will be considered invalid. Congratulations to the people in front of you for winning the final prize!"
The applause in the auditorium was not too enthusiastic. After all, it was someone else who won the prize, and everyone couldn't help but be curious about what the so-called prize was.
"Then, we invite the four deans to present the prizes to these lucky people~"
The few little wizards who were just eliminated felt a chill on their backs.
Dean...Dean? !
The next moment, the side door was pushed open, and the four deans who had just left walked into the auditorium again. Three of them glanced at the team of their own academy with unfriendly eyes.
Professor McGonagall walked to Adam's side:
"Adam, please give me some time, I have something to say before the award ceremony."
"Of course, professor."
Adam gave up the speaking position on the podium, and Professor McGonagall stood up and said:
"Those who tried to cheat just now - deduct 50 points! - For everyone! In addition, they will be put in detention! Your respective deans will find you later -"
After that, Professor McGonagall nodded to Adam:
"I have finished what I want to say, you continue."
Adam returned to the podium, looked at the people who were wilting and couldn't help shaking his head secretly:
Even if the professors did leave, you were caught cheating in front of the whole school. Do you still think that the professors will not come after you?
Every lucky person gets a thick stack of redemption coupons, which can be exchanged for corresponding candies from Honeydukes Candy Store.
"It's convenient for you to take the coupons. If you like, you can redeem them directly. They are valid for this school year."
"Well... I want to redeem them directly, is that okay?"
Neville happened to be one of the lucky ones in Gryffindor. He blushed and took the stack of coupons and handed them to Adam:
"I'm afraid I'll lose them if I keep holding them..."
"Of course, it's a little late now, and you probably can't move so many candies..."
Adam took the coupons and used the elimination card to eliminate them with his hands:
"Let's do this. At 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I will hand you the candies at the door of the Gryffindor common room. You can call your friends to help you move them."
"Okay!"
Neville nodded decisively.
However, Neville didn't know how many candies a stack of coupons could be exchanged for...
And Adam also forgot that today would be an extraordinary night... in every sense.
When Adam and his friends returned to the dormitory, finished washing up, and couldn't wait to take out the barbecue to have another midnight snack, the door of their dormitory was knocked.
Colon opened the door, and outside was Cedric's serious face:
"We found Sirius Black's trace! The professor asked us to go back to the hall... Hmm? What smells so good?"
