"Oh hell, what the hell is this!" Silver slammed his fist on the desk.
I saw a book list on the desk, which read:
Second-graders read: "Standard Spells, Level II", "Breaking with a Female Ghost" by Miranda Goshak, "Traveling with Ghouls" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "Vacation with a Dominatrix" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "Walking with a Troll" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "Traveling with a Vampire" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "Wandering with a Werewolf" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "A Year with a Tibetan Yeti" by Gilderoy Lockhart.
"This damn Gilderoy Lockhart actually asked us to order six books written by himself at once, and even the trolls know that Gilderoy Lockhart's books are all deluxe hardcovers, and a book costs five Galleons! This is clearly a robbery for money!" Silver was a little furious, "Oh, by the way, I remember that according to the plot of the original book, almost all the little witches at Hogwarts will still have a crush on this liar for a while, and this is not good, I have to make some trouble for him." ”
"Lanord, Lanord!" shouted Silver with a snap of his fingers.
"Do you have any orders, young man? - Silver's most faithful servant, the house-elf Lanod, was on call as usual.
"Lanod, given your continued loyalty, I have a very important task for you, would you like to accept it?"
"Very willingly, boy, this is my highest honor. As soon as Lanoud heard that there was something to do, it was still a particularly important task, and he immediately puffed up his little chest, "Lanoud will complete the task even if he dies." ”
"Not necessarily, Lanod, I will not let the loyal servants of the Silver family die. Silver calmed the house-elves who were too high-spirited, "Ranold, you follow this list and help me go to the Blott to get such a set of books, and then you gather all the house-elves in Slomb Castle, then they must copy more than a thousand copies of Gilderoy Lockhart's books, well, of course, the more the better." You don't have to copy these books, you can go to me and carefully investigate the details of Gilderoy Lockhart, and make a written report for me-" Silver paused, "take the Silver family crest, and use the power of the family to clear the way if it gets in your way!"
Now, Lanoud can almost describe him with gratitude. "Less, young master. Lanod was almost choked up and speechless, and at last, the house-elf saluted Silver, and with a "thud" the apparition shifted away.
"How do I feel like I'm getting a little closer to the meta. Silver touched his chin without a beard, ruling out the terrible thought. He began to write letters, and to his astonishment, he wrote three letters at the same time.
"Dear Hermione/Parvati/Padma, I have a very important thing to tell you, our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher will be Gilderoy Lockhart, but it is disturbing that I have heard a lot of news against him, and if the news is true, then he will be a shameless villain, the scum of wizards, like this......"
(Let's ignore this boy with a bad stomach.) )
Two days later, in Diagon Alley -
"Jack, I can't believe that Gilderoy Lockhart is such a shameless liar, a hateful thief, and I was a little skeptical when I received your letter. Hermione looked at the report in her hand, and the countless magic seals on the report proved the authenticity and authority of the report.
"I really don't understand, how could Dumbledore invite such a person to Hogwarts, and there is no doubt that the destination of such a person should be Azkaban. Parvati also looked very sad and angry.
"I think Professor Dumbledore has his own problems - you should know the curse of Hogwarts - no Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher has been teaching at Hogwarts for a year, and they always have all sorts of accidents, like last year's Quirrell. Silver shrugged, "I think in this case, Dumbledore will have a hard time finding a teacher who is also capable and brave enough to come to Hogwarts to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Gilderoy Lockhart, who signed up to promote his book, is Dumbledore's only choice." ”
"Shall we buy the crook's books, which are not cheap, five Galleons each, which is a lot for a poor wizard family. Padma said.
"Don't worry, I've been ready for a long time, you see this. Silver pulled out a modest softcover book from his bosom.
"Travelling with Ghouls? Where did it come from? I remember that Gilderoy Lockhart's book didn't have a hardcover edition. Parvati looked back and forth with curiosity.
"This is what I produced, no, it was the pirated book I bought from Tumbledown Alley, one Galleon, very cheap. Silver was so proud that he almost showed his stuffing. "I've bought you all too so you don't have to buy that nasty guy's books anymore. ”
"But we have to go buy some other things, two more books to buy, let's go. Silver urged the three struggling girls.
An hour later, they walked towards the Blotted bookstore, which was far more than a few of them. They were surprised to see a large crowd of people crowding outside the store, all wanting to enter. A large banner was pulled upstairs: Gilderoy Lockhart signed autobiography "I Can Magic" for sale today from 12:3o-4:3o.
"This shameless liar, I really want to expose him directly. Hermione said reluctantly.
"Then I'm afraid Professor Dumbledore will have a hard time finding the same stupid boldness. Silver said in a funny voice, and the girls laughed.
Most of the crowd seems to be middle-aged witches. A weary-looking wizard stood in the doorway and said, "Ladies, be quiet and don't crowd...... Beware of book ......"
"Friends of Women, Gilderoy Lockhart. Silver muttered.
Silver, Hermione, and Sister Petil slipped through the crack. The zigzag line runs from the doorway to the back of the bookstore, where Gilderoy Lockhart signs books.
"Look, isn't that Harry and Weasley's house, it looks like they're going to buy Gilderoy Lockhart's books. Parvati pointed to the center of the crowd. ”
"Of course, Gilderoy Lockhart won't let Harry go, and the two of them together can make the headlines of the Daily Prophet, what a great opportunity for hype. Oh, look, Gilderoy Lockhart looks like he's seen Harry. Silver whispered.
Lockhart wore a robe as blue as forget-me-nots, matching his blue eyes. The peaked wizard's hat is playfully crooked on a sideburn. He saw Harry and jumped in surprise, and Lockhart rushed through the crowd and grabbed Harry's arm and dragged him to the front, causing the audience to burst into applause. The photographer frantically pressed the shutter, and puffs of smoke filled the air.
"Ladies and gentlemen," said Lockhart, waving his hand to silence everyone, "what an extraordinary moment! I am going to make an announcement on this wonderful occasion about a little matter which I have not said for some time. ”
"When young Harry walked into the Blotted Bookstore to-day, he just wanted to buy my autobiography - I would give it to him for free on the spot—" another round of applause, "but he didn't know what to do," Lockhart continued, and shook Harry so that his glasses slipped to the tip of his nose, "and he will soon get something more valuable than the clumsy 'I can do magic,' and in fact, he and his classmates will get a real, magical me." Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure and pride to announce that this September I will be the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
"It's really a Hogwarts misfortune. Silver whispered. The three girls nodded their heads and looked like they were concerned.
"Alright, we should go, there will be a riot here later, but don't be affected. Silver said with concern to the girls.
"What commotion?" Padma wondered.
Silver pointed to Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy facing each other at the door of the bookstore, "These two people will definitely have to fight later, the relationship between the Weasleys and the Malfoys has never been very good, we have to hurry up and leave......"
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Master, the 15oo sets of Lockhart's books we made have been sold out. "I went to Mondigus and asked him to come forward and sell them in Tumbledown Alley, but Mondongues was very dishonest, he broke the rules and sold these books for two Galleons a piece, and later lied to me that the books would be discounted if they couldn't be sold, and Lanoud taught the bastard a lesson and got the money back." ”
Lanoud pulled out a large, heavy bag.
"I'll calculate how much it is, a set of six books, a book of two Galleons, a total of fifteen hundred sets, wahahaha......"
And at this time-
"What? Those six books are selling poorly? How is this possible, how can this be a book that the entire Hogwarts students have to buy, how can it be a bad one?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lockhart, someone in Tumbledown Alley is claiming that Mr. Lockhart is taking care of a poor wizard family and has sold a special Lite series, even if you deny it now, it will be useless, and it will have a very negative impact on your reputation......"
"Who is that person. After an awkward silence, the voice gritted its teeth.
"It's Mondongues, Mr. Lockhart. ”
