Chapter 16 Mission Delivery
"Brothers, I'm back~"
With a tap on Colon's shoulder, Adam threw his bag on the long table and sat down.
"Where did you go just now? I haven't seen you for so long."
Colon said as he pushed the grilled sausage left for Adam in front of him.
"I went to talk to Professor Sprout about growing plants in the dormitory."
"Growing plants...can't you just grow them if you want?"
There are a bunch of plants in their Hufflepuff common room, including pothos hanging from the ceiling, cacti on the table...
"Maybe it's a magical plant?"
Eugene guessed.
Adam nodded:
"That's right, so you have to ask Professor Sprout. But don't worry, it's just a white plant. Professor Sprout gave me a seedling. And I planted it on the bedside, so I won't disturb you. Everyone’s.”
He planted Baixian mainly to practice magic and to prepare for applying to Professor Sprout to plant other magical plants.
The magic of flower cards and tree cards cannot be practiced in a vacuum. Now he is working hard to learn the magic of Gan cards. If everything goes well, he can complete it just in time when the white flowers bloom, and then use the white flowers to learn the magic of flower cards.
After lunch, Adam picked up his backpack and separated from the group again.
"Where are you going again?"
"Professor Sprout asked me to bring something to Professor Dumbledore."
Adam didn't lie. Professor Sprout did ask him to bring a bottle of nectar from the honey orchid to Professor Dumbledore.
"What about your pot of soup?"
Colon swallowed.
"Don't worry, it's just a gift. It won't take long, and we've just had lunch now!"
Adam waved behind him as he ran away:
"I'm leaving~"
After returning to the dormitory, Bernard looked at Adam's four-poster bed and touched his chin in confusion:
"I remember Adam said that his parents were ordinary people, right? Why did he adapt so well to the wizarding world?"
No, he can no longer be described as well adapted. He is simply as comfortable as a fish in water, even more adaptable than the people from their original family of wizards.
Eugene and Uther looked at each other and saw similar emotions to their own in the other's eyes.
Colon didn't think so much. He just wanted to know when Adam would come back. He didn't even eat much at noon because of this pot of soup... Wait, he remembered that there seemed to be two tea eggs left in the morning?
“Coconut sorbet.”
After reciting the password, Adam walked into the principal's office and saw Professor Dumbledore dozing behind his desk.
After looking around, I saw that most of the portraits of the past principals were sleeping. In addition, there were a few empty frames. I guess these old principals had gone out to visit.
Adam thought for a while but still didn't wake up Professor Dumbledore. Seeing a chair opposite the desk, he took out a book and sat on it, reading and waiting.
The refilling spell... is a spell that summons liquid from a container that has been prepared in advance. If you learn this spell, you can use the Gam card to conjure a large bucket of Coke in advance and have it at your fingertips next time.
How to make a perfectly cooked steak Wellington using magic spells... How about asking dad to send you some bled beef to try?
…
"Oh! I'm so sorry... I kept you waiting for so long, right?"
Dumbledore opened his eyes sleepily, took off his half-moon glasses and rubbed his eyes, then put them on again and looked at the student in front of him.
I actually waited until he woke up. He seemed to be a very gentle and patient child, and he was still reading and loved learning... Uh?
"Advanced Household Magic, a More Exquisite Life"
Dumbledore's eyes stopped on the cover of the book and blinked.
"Professor Dumbledore, you're awake."
Adam closed the book and stuffed it back into his satchel with a natural expression. He then took out an envelope, a small bag, and Professor Sprout's nectar from the satchel:
"These are the nectar that I personally gave to you, Nico Lemeto, and the nectar that Professor Sprout asked me to deliver."
"Thank you very much, Adam, I have to say you have been a great help to us."
Professor Dumbledore sighed, reached out and took the three items and put them aside, then took out his wand:
"What do you want to eat? Coconut sorbet? Lemon Olaf? Actually, I recommend the Cockroach Pile, but many people refuse to taste it because of its appearance."
As Professor Dumbledore spoke, he conjured up exquisite plates on his desk, which contained exactly the snacks he mentioned.
"Professor Dumbledore, why don't you check first?"
Adam was a little surprised, that was the Philosopher's Stone...and he had already tried it, and the one he helped transport was indeed the real Philosopher's Stone.
"Don't worry about that kind of thing, afternoon tea is more important."
As he spoke, Professor Dumbledore threw a lemon sorbet into his mouth. The sour taste exploded between his lips and teeth, which made Professor Dumbledore's face wrinkle up:
"Oh - I seem to have confused Lemon Sour with Lemon Olaf!"
As he spoke, Professor Dumbledore quickly threw another cockroach pile into his mouth.
Adam took a breath:
“One coconut sorbet, please.”
The taste of the pink coconut sorbet is not strong, and the light sweetness and coolness spread on the tip of the tongue, making you feel happy.
"Professor Dumbledore."
After taking a few bites, Adam couldn't help but ask:
"Why would Nico Flamel ask me to do such an important thing?"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Professor Dumbledore blinked, looking confused.
"Of course it's the Philosopher's Stone!"
Adam put the coconut ice cream on the table, looking very stressed:
"I saw Nicolas Flamel's name in a book... Then I knew what the red stone was. It's so important, what if I lose it?"
"Calm down, calm down... Didn't you hand it to me intact? Nothing happened during the period, right?"
Professor Dumbledore smiled and conjured a glass of pumpkin juice and handed it to Adam. Adam took it and took a sip:
"But I'm just a little wizard. Last month I didn't even know there was magic in this world! What if someone finds out..."
"No, Adam, Nicolas Flamel's protection measures for the Philosopher's Stone are much more stringent than you think."
Professor Dumbledore picked up the bag containing the Philosopher's Stone on the table and said mysteriously:
"In fact, the bag is cast with the Fidelius Charm."
"The Fidelius Charm?"
Adam showed confusion at the right time.
"That is a kind of protective magic. You should have seen it in Nicolas Flamel's house. Unless you take the initiative to tell others, even if you put this bag in front of others and let them touch every corner of the table, they will not be able to find the existence of this bag."
Adam showed a surprised expression:
"So powerful... Can I learn this magic?"
"If you can study hard, I believe there will be opportunities in the future, but it is probably too early to learn this spell with your current magic level."
Professor Dumbledore shook his head and said:
"But I will fulfill my promise and teach you the spell of the door key."
Professor Dumbledore took out a piece of paper - it should be the first-year Hufflepuff schedule - and looked at the paper for a while, then turned to Adam:
"I don't think it's a good idea to take up the weekend to attend classes. How about Wednesday afternoon? You can come to my place after the spell class."
The principal's office is on the eighth floor, and among all the courses, only the spell class on the fourth floor is the most convenient.
"No problem, Professor."
"Well, then it's settled... I have some other things to deal with, you can continue to enjoy these snacks, and remember to close the door for me after leaving the office."
Professor Dumbledore picked up the bag containing the Philosopher's Stone and stood up. When he was about to reach the door, he turned his head and looked at Adam:
"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to say - please keep your mouth shut about the Philosopher's Stone, okay?"
"Of course, no problem, Professor."
Adam bit the spoon and showed a cute badger smile.
