Chapter 83 As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems

Finally, Senior Newt relented and agreed to take a semester of the Care of Magical Creatures course, but he needed to prepare.

For example, he would go back and bring along those magical creatures that could not leave him for long, and explain to his family, mainly Tina, why he had only said that he would be away for a few days, but now he had an additional job.

"Thank you so much, I knew I could always trust you."

Professor Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Newt:

"By the way, what did you do at Hogwarts this time?"

"..."

Looking at Newt's lowered head but still somewhat speechless eyes, Professor Dumbledore smiled awkwardly and stretched out his hand to conjure up a plate of candy.

Newt thought that Professor Dumbledore wanted to treat him to a pile of cockroaches again, but he found that there was no pile of cockroaches on the plate of candy, but instead, there were varieties he had never seen before. Could it be that Honeydukes has released new products again?

But the children at home have been buying Honeydukes candies, how come he has never seen these...

"This is the work of a student at Hogwarts. He is now recognized as the number one pastry chef and cook at Hogwarts, and he is also a Hufflepuff."

Professor Dumbledore introduced Newt with a smile:

"At the same time, he is also one of the assistants I plan to arrange for you. He likes magical creatures very much. I think he will agree. You will definitely have a lot in common."

"Oh?"

Newt smiled with interest. This junior student is very good at cooking and also likes magical creatures...

"What's his name?"

"His name is Adam Reed."

? ? ?

Newt blinked and hesitated:

"Are there two people named Adam Reed in the school?"

"As far as I know, there are not."

Professor Dumbledore pondered for a moment and looked at Newt:

"So you are here this time, aren't you..."

"He found me through Mr. Flamel's contact book and told me about the basilisk. You know... I can't refuse these cute little things."

Newt turned his head away, with a bit of shame in his eyes.

But... cute?

Professor Dumbledore went through the information about the basilisk in his mind, and a question mark popped up on his head.

...

On the afternoon of the day when Newt arrived at Hogwarts, Adam met this senior in the office of the professor of Care of Magical Creatures.

"Senior Newt!"

Adam couldn't help but speak louder when he saw Newt, which was more like an exclamation than a greeting.

But what can he do, this is Newt Scamander!

"Hello, Adam."

Faced with Adam's slightly exaggerated reaction, Newt smiled shyly and nodded, then looked at Adam expectantly:

"Where is the basilisk now..."

"Right here."

Adam took out the glass jar where the basilisk was, but did not hand it directly to Newt:

"Although the basilisk has been reduced in size and its strength has also been reduced, the toxins in its teeth and the lethality of its sight have not been reduced."

Professor Dumbledore, who was ignored by the two, could not help but glance at Adam, and a question mark appeared on his head again.

You didn't say this when you wanted to show me the basilisk last time!

"To be on the safe side, I have to cast a protective magic on you first. I relied on this protective magic to block the attack of the basilisk before."

Adam said as he gave Newt a layer of shield protection, and then handed the glass jar to Newt. Newt sighed that it was so convenient to have this magic to study magical animals, and then he couldn't wait to unscrew the lid of the glass jar.

Professor Dumbledore: "???"

No... no one cares about my life or death?

The basilisk closed its eyes when it was taken out of the glass jar. It just wagged its tail when it felt it was caught, and then "hissed" a few times.

Professor Dumbledore's eyelids twitched. He did not expect that the basilisk could understand human words, but he did not expect that the basilisk would let people catch it for a dish.

However, it must be delicious if it can make the basilisk sell its body? Pork leg with bones... What kind of dish is that?

"No problem."

Adam agreed immediately. Isn't it just a pork elbow? Let's arrange it tonight!

Although Newt loves magical animals and wants to observe the basilisk immediately, he still knows the priorities. Since he was kept by Professor Dumbledore as a professor, there is no need to rush. He just put the basilisk back into the glass jar after he had his hands on it.

"Senior Newt, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, the basilisk matter is not urgent, there is actually another more important thing to find you this time..."

Newt looked at Professor Dumbledore who had been sitting next to him as a background:

"At the invitation of Professor Dumbledore, I will temporarily take over as the professor of your magical creature protection course for one year next year..."

"Really?!"

Two exclamations came from outside the door, interrupting Newt's words.

"I, I, let's go now--"

The voice gradually faded away.

"Ahem, that's my roommate... They admire you too."

Adam smiled awkwardly but politely:

"Senior, you probably don't know how popular you are among the Hufflepuffs... You and your works are very popular with everyone."

"Ahem, I... I'm glad you like my books... and me... um."

Newt looked even more embarrassed, and nodded at the end.

"Ahem!"

Professor Dumbledore couldn't stand it anymore. After he left, it was fine for you Hufflepuffs to hold a fan meeting, but could you get down to business first?

"Oh, right! Let's get back to what happened just now."

After being reminded by Professor Dumbledore, Newt quickly returned to the topic:

"As you can see, I'm already an old man, and I really don't have enough energy to support seven grades of students..."

Adam immediately cast a disapproving look at Professor Dumbledore.

"It's five grades, and only elective students."

Professor Dumbledore emphasized.

"Senior Newt is already over ninety years old."

Adam emphasized.

Is there anything better about five grades of students? Even if all the theoretical classes are taken, it is still a big burden, not to mention that the magical creature care class can't be all theoretical.

"So, Professor Dumbledore said he could assign me a few teaching assistants, and one of them is you."

Newt looked at Adam and smiled:

"I heard that you also like magical creatures. Do you want to help me?"

"Of course! I have already chosen the Care of Magical Creatures course!"

Adam couldn't believe that in addition to Senior Newt teaching them next year, there was such a surprise, and he quickly took out the course selection list from his bag.

Professor Dumbledore couldn't help frowning when he saw the course selection list:

"But, you have already chosen four courses."

In this way, Adam would have to use a time converter to catch up with the classes, so where would he have the energy...

"I can remove two courses."

Adam changed the ticks behind Arithmancy and Ancient Runes to crosses without hesitation.

Time converters and the like can be picked up by Voldemort and the Death Eaters when they go to blow up the Ministry of Magic. It's just a few years later, but if you miss the opportunity to be a teaching assistant for Senior Newt, you will miss it!

What? Voldemort may not blow up the Ministry of Magic by then?

For this kind of thing, as long as you don't slip in your thinking, there are always more solutions than problems.

If there is Voldemort, Adam can go. If there is no Voldemort... can't Adam create a Voldemort and go?
