Chapter 80 Truth and Coincidence

"Adam, is there anything you would like to say to me about Mr. Lockhart's story?"

Professor Dumbledore's eyes were very calm, as if he had no doubt about whether Adam had any evil thoughts.

Adam found that the professor's emotions seemed a bit extreme... He always had an unimaginable tolerance for the students he identified, whether it was Newt, Hagrid, Harry or him - it's hard to say What impact did Voldemort have on Professor Dumbledore back then?

"This is a sad story, Professor Dumbledore."

Adam sighed:

"This is the best way I can think of... Who would have thought that Professor Lockhart would suddenly use Oblivion on me? In my haste, I could only use the Mirror Card to counterattack."

From Lockhart's perspective, he was being chased by the ghost nun and never left the office, but in fact he ran all the way to Adam who was doing his "homework".

Facing the ghost nun who wanted to kill him, Lockhart instinctively...or was forced to instinctively make the most familiar attack on Adam in front of him-pulled out the wand and released Oblivion, but was struck by the mirror card. Reflected back.

All this happened to be discovered by Ms. Gray who was passing by.

Everything is so coincidental and perfect.

"In fact, I already know what happened. Ms. Gray happened to be nearby at the time and saw the whole process."

Professor Dumbledore smiled and conjured a plate of candies in front of Adam. Adam saw it...it looked so familiar.

Aren’t these all my works?

Adam randomly picked one and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, it was a candy made by him.

"Actually, I know about Lockhart."

Professor Dumbledore sighed and took one himself:

"Among the targets of his stolen stories, there were two wizards I knew. I saw a familiar story, but the protagonist was no longer someone I was familiar with. Plus the character Lockhart showed in school, I was very disappointed. You will soon understand what happened..."

Professor Dumbledore waited for a few seconds and looked at Adam:

"Aren't you curious why I invited him to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

"Well...I didn't know it at first, but after hearing the professor say that you already knew the details of Lockhart, I probably understood it."

"oh?"

Professor Dumbledore's gray eyebrows twitched.

"Professor Dumbledore wants Lockhart to expose himself, right? If he were just writing a novel, he might be able to hide it, but in the face of so many students and professors, it turns out that Lockhart is indeed full of flaws very quickly..."

After Adam finished eating one candy, he saw that there were no more candies he liked on the plate, so he simply used the Rod of Darkness to add a lot to the plate.

Then Professor Dumbledore reached for a fruit-filled gummy candy.

Adam: "???"

Okay, okay, Professor, it turns out that your inventory is running low and you asked me to replenish it, right?

Forget it, just think of it as advertising money. Professor Dumbledore's same dessert is a very popular label at Hogwarts.

Under the innocent gaze of Professor Dumbledore, Adam reluctantly ate a peach-flavored candy and continued:

"In addition, Professor, you should also use Lockhart to warn us. After all, although it is difficult to teach a person what he should be, teaching a person what he should not be only requires a negative teaching material - —Lockhart is a very suitable negative teaching material.”

Professor Dumbledore showed a satisfied smile. He didn't expect Adam to understand his meaning so quickly. He was indeed very smart——

"Finally, there should be a reason why it is difficult to find a professor for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course. I heard from Senior Cedric that this course changes professors every year for various reasons, and it has been going on for decades. "

As if he couldn't see Professor Dumbledore's frozen smile, Adam had no consciousness of poking Professor Dumbledore's pain point, and continued:

"Professor Quirrell died in a direct accident last year, which should have a considerable impact on the recruitment of new professors..."

Professor Dumbledore, who was forced to think about this troublesome matter, felt a headache and couldn't help but throw a few more candies into his mouth.

Um? What kind of flavor is this? I’ve never tasted it before...

Professor Dumbledore, realizing that he was distracted, quickly organized his thoughts and sighed in his mind.

Indeed, last year's recruitment of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors was difficult. This year something like this happened to Lockhart again. I don't know who to look for next year...

Thinking of this, Professor Dumbledore's appetite for sweets has diminished:

"You are right, Adam. It seems that I will have to look for my old acquaintances next... I hope they will be willing to take the time to teach at Hogwarts for a year. You can go back first."

"Okay, Professor Dumbledore."

Professor Dumbledore's inquiry was just an expected interlude. After Adam returned, he could even prepare for the Lantern Festival riddle guessing activity as usual.

Limited by English, there is no way to guess the riddles. Adam can only put some traditional Chinese knowledge he shared with his classmates into the riddles, as well as some extracurricular knowledge he read in books, as well as information about Adam’s snacks. Knowledge about shop food.

Adam has no intention of setting up a fly restaurant. Having two successful people in the catering industry at home, Adam knows that for a high-end restaurant, although cooking is the focus, it is not the only focus. You also need to be able to tell stories.

Cooking skills are always just a point to attract consumers. Only when consumers recognize the cultural value added by your products from the bottom of their hearts can you maintain your customer base and make your position unshakable.

However, unlike Mr. Reed and Ms. Li, who need to spend a lot of money and energy to let customers understand those stories, Adam only needs glutinous rice balls of various flavors to make the main components of the future British wizarding world spontaneously and actively understand the stories he wants to tell.

They still have to thank him!

"Adam! Thank you~"

The little wizards who got the "Question Bank Manual" from Adam showed bright smiles on their faces.

Sesame, peanuts, bean paste, lamb, pork, beef...

The long table in the auditorium was removed, replaced by rows of racks full of lanterns and little wizards lined up in a long line. After saying the correct answer to the lantern, the lantern will spit out a note, and then you can take the note to find the event NPC... Oh no, it's the professors who exchanged the glutinous rice balls.

In addition to the popular styles available at each professor's place, each dean's place also has a limited edition specially prepared by Adam for them, such as Professor McGonagall's taro paste dumplings, Professor Flitwick's cheese dumplings, Professor Snape's crab meat dumplings, and Professor Sprout's osmanthus wine dumplings.

For the sake of food, the Gryffindors dared to take the initiative to step forward one by one under Professor Snape's gaze, which is really gratifying!

Unexpectedly, Adam was not very optimistic about Professor Dumbledore's chocolate dumplings. After all, this taste was more or less a bit of dark cuisine in his eyes, but it was unexpectedly popular...
