Chapter 204 Dumbledore's Army

"Yes, Adam is right. His restaurant, the one called The Storm, is opening soon."

"It has been renovated. It is in the northeast corner of Hogsmeade, walking along the Dream Dessert Workshop..."

Fred and George each finished one sentence, and then added:

"Didn't we tell you?"

"Of course not!"

Ron looked at these two unreliable guys in shock. They had a good relationship with Adam and would occasionally go to report (eat) work (rub) work (drink), but he never said anything to them. information.

Fred and George looked at each other and shrugged:

"Well, this matter has nothing to do with you anyway."

Ron was stunned.

That said, it seems to make sense?

"Oh my God, it's incredible."

Hermione shook her head:

"He got an A in every class and still had time to open a store. How did he have time..."

"Isn't the question where he got so much money?"

Ron couldn't help but complain,

"As for the opening time of the store, what's so strange about it? Just like Fred and George's Wizarding Wheezes and Ambrosio's Dream Dessert Workshop, maybe the store manager is someone else? He's just Contributing capital and holding shares... So where did he get so much money? "

"Adam always has a way of getting money."

In this regard, Fred and George were convinced, especially after they couldn't help but gamble a fortune in the Quidditch World Cup.

Good news: The bet paid off.

Bad news: The bastard who opened the market settled the bill with leprechaun gold coins.

The twins returned to before liberation overnight. If they hadn't lost their minds enough to gamble with public funds, the Magic Wheezes Workshop would have almost lost its capital flow and declared bankruptcy on the spot.

Of course, Fred and George couldn't give up after being defrauded of all their net worth. However, they worked together with everyone who had been deceived to catch the person and found out that the person simply couldn't hand over that much money, and the entire net worth was not enough.

Originally they had given up, but after Adam heard about it at the tea party, he actually helped them get their money back!

Although only the principal was recovered, and each Galleons had to be exchanged by reading "I will never gamble again", but at least the money really came back!

"Yamen!"

Fred and George made the sign of the cross on their chests.

"Okay, okay, I know your boss is rich, but the focus now is on the study group."

Ron looked at Hermione:

"Except for Adam, are everyone else invited available?"

"Well... they are all willing to participate."

Hermione's strange behavior was not noticed.

After being rejected by Adam, Hermione reflected on it and felt that part of Adam's rejection was because Adam had very good grades and felt that he did not need Harry's guidance.

So when she invited them later, she didn't explicitly say it was a study group. She just said that Harry wanted to say a few words about the mysterious man and share some experiences with everyone... Anyway, it was pretty much the same. She just changed the term.

"But is this really okay for us?"

Fred and George looked at the two men.

"If my guess is correct, you probably didn't tell Harry that there are so many people in the study group now, right?"

"Forehead……"

Hermione and Ron looked at each other,

"We will tell him that the study group will have two or three more people than before."

"In that case, maybe Adam's is a better place than the Hog's Head?"

Fred rubbed his chin and looked at George.

"It's a secret place that hasn't officially opened yet, and you can still get Adam's protection!"

George raised his hand and gave Fred a high-five.

"Well... this is a good idea, but let's not talk about whether Adam agrees or not. There is another problem here."

Ron swallowed and looked at Fred and George with some guilt:

"Adam's restaurant, is it big enough? I mean... can accommodate about... twenty or thirty people?"

…

"Study group space?"

Adam raised his eyebrows.

"Adam, I know that The Storm is a high-end restaurant like the Black Swan and not a bar. It is not suitable for noisy gatherings of dozens of people."

Black Swan is the name of Mr. Reed's French restaurant. Hermione clasped her hands together and begged:

"but……"

"I agree."

"……What?"

"I agree, you can meet at the Storm Restaurant to have your...study group."

Adam smiled.

The first meeting place of Dumbledore's Army...how memorable. Should he hang a photo on the first floor in the future?

Of course, hanging the photos was just a joke. The main reason was that Dumbledore's Army was only going out for a party this time. After that, they would go to the Room of Requirement for training. Accepting or rejecting it didn't matter.

"Really? Thank you so much Adam!"

Hermione cheered.

"Don't be too happy yet. The Storm Restaurant is not officially open yet. In other words... there is nothing to eat in the Storm Restaurant right now. I'm afraid I can only provide some drinks."

"It doesn't matter, we wanted to choose Storm Restaurant mainly for privacy reasons."

Hermione was fine with that;

"By the way, will you join the study group?"

"I'm sorry, even if you move the study group to the Storm Restaurant, the things to be done will still be there. I'm afraid I won't have time."

Adam shook his head at Hermione:

"But if you need help, I should be here."

"Okay...but thank you again, Adam."

"You're welcome."

Watching Hermione leave, Adam looked at Grindelwald:

"It's causing trouble again. The Ministry of Magic won't want to see...Professor Dumbledore has such a "private army."

"Tsk-"

Grindelwald sneered disdainfully.

Since the Ministry of Magic is so scared that it thinks Dumbledore is extremely dangerous even with a group of students, why not think about the fact that Dumbledore alone is actually dangerous enough?

Because Fudge is deceiving himself...

On the one hand, he clearly knows that Dumbledore's strength is not something they can fight against, and on the other hand, he desperately promotes that Dumbledore is not that powerful, so this seemingly contradictory attitude will appear.

"By then, Professor Dumbledore will probably avoid the battle and completely withdraw from Hogwarts."

Adam shook his head and looked at Grindelwald:

"He will probably take you away."

Grindelwald frowned. This was true. Although he didn't know why Dumbledore transferred him from Nurmengard to Hogwarts to guard him personally, even if he left Hogwarts, Dumbledore should have guarded him personally instead of letting him return to Nurmengard.

"Do you want to stay in Hogwarts?"

Grindelwald looked at Adam in surprise:

"You don't plan to hide anymore?"

"When did I say I planned to hide?"

Adam looked at Grindelwald strangely:

"Since Professor Dumbledore has left Hogwarts, he must resign as the headmaster. Hogwarts certainly needs a new headmaster."
