Dark charms: Adam was good at Dark magic and was able to cast all 3 Unforgivable Curses in the seventh year.

Apparition: Adam passed his Apparition test third in Gryffindor, and once Apparated from Australia to the UK.

Herbology: Adam was extremely talented at Herbology, and gave Dobby the Gillyweed Harry needed in the fourth year.

Logical thinking and intelligence: Adam had 'average' intelligence, but as said by Alastor Moody:' he had a sharp mind that, combined with the correct skill, could do great things'.

## Possesions

## Relationships

### Bailey

Adam and Bailey got on very well, as they shared a room in the Gryffindor common room. They often walked along together, and Bailey was his best man at hs wedding. They were best friends along with Sayef, and were often seen together in the hall, despite Adam's popularity.

### Sayef Ahmed

Adam and Sayef were best friends all throughout Hogwarts years, and, despite Sayef being a Slytherin, both members of the D.A and Order of The Phoenix. Sayef also helped Adam a lot in Potions, allowing Adam to take them in N.E.W.T levels.

### Hermione Granger

Despite them not being very close, Adam liked Hermione, but had no romantic feelings for her (as both Alfie and Sam suspected he did) but he did battle with her four times (1996, 1997, 1998 and 2021). He and Hermione remained friends in adulthood.

### Harry Potter

Adam and Harry were good friends, although after learning Harry's backstory he felt 'kind of sorry' for him, a thing Harry found quite annoying, despite feeling sorry for himself. They were very good friends, though, and battled together five times, as well as being co-founders of Dumbledore's Army and members of the Order of the Phoenix. They remained friends into adulthood, where they battled together in the Battle of Platform 9 3/4, and the Battle of 2021 Hogwarts.
