Chapter 120, Gilderoy Lockhart
Bruce returned to the Leaky Cauldron to get the keys and get the money, but also because he wanted to clean up, and Bruce didn't want to go to Diagon Alley with a dusty face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After washing and changing into new clothes, Bruce made his way to Diagon Alley, ready to go to Gringotts to get the money first. Just as he was about to get to Gringotts, Bruce suddenly heard someone calling him!
"Hey! Bruce! ”
Bruce turned to look, and Hagrid was smiling and waving his hand.
"Hey! Hagrid, long time no see! Why haven't you been at the Leaky Cauldron lately? Bruce said with a smile.
Hagrid said, "The new Hogwarts crop is about to be planted, and I'm busy with this!" Why are you alone? Harry, what about them? ”
Bruce said, "Harry and Ron should be at the Blotts, I'm going to Gringotts to get the money first!" What are you doing in Diagon Alley? Hagrid? ”
Hagrid said, "Oh, I'm going to Tumbledown Alley to buy some materials!" ”
"Oh! I don't want to go to that place! What materials can I buy there? Bruce said.
Turning to the alley and adjacent to Diagon Alley, there is a mixture of dragons and snakes, which is despised by most wizards. Equivalent to the slums of the Muggle world, or even worse than the slums. Tumbledown Alley features a variety of dark magic shops where you can buy all sorts of weird materials, including illegal ones!
Hagrid laughed, "It's my exclusive recipe, and it's great to get rid of slugs!" Well, I won't talk to you anymore! I'm going to pass. Oh yes! I want to wish you a happy birthday! It's a pity I didn't have much money with me to buy you and Harry gifts. I'll make it up to you when you get to school! ”
"Huh! I'm glad you remember me, thank you Hagrid! See you at school! Bruce laughed.
After parting, Bruce arrives at Gringotts. When you enter Gringotts, you still have to face those old-fashioned goblins that are not easy to get close to, if you save money, they will still smile, if you withdraw money, their little eyes will always glance back and forth on you, as if you have done something very hateful.
Bruce left Gringotts immediately after taking the money, and Ron said that his eldest brother Bill worked at Gringotts, and Bruce admired him when he wanted to get along with these goblins.
After leaving Gringotts, Bruce was about to go to the Blott to meet Harry and the others, but he didn't expect to see Harry at an intersection before he could reach Gringotts, and he was with Hagrid.
"Harry, Hagrid!" Bruce hurriedly said hello.
The two immediately waved their hands when they saw Bruce, and Bruce ran over only to find that Harry had changed into a "sharp wind" look at some point. It's dirty all over my body, and my glasses are broken!
"Hey! Harry, did you get into a fight with someone in a bookstore? Bruce teased.
Harry smiled bitterly, "It's hard to put into words, I'm lost?!" ”
Bruce said in surprise: "You can get lost with Floo Net, I think Floo Bang Company should improve the formula of Floo Powder!" ”
Harry said helplessly, "It has nothing to do with Floo powder, in fact I should have advised Mrs. Weasley to clean up the fireplace, there is too much dust!" ”
"Haha!" Bruce laughed and said, "I know what's going on, man! Sympathize with your plight, but we should clean it up for you first! ”
With that, Bruce pulled out his wand!
"Clean up!"
The dust from Harry's body instantly drifted into the air and fell to the ground, and then Bruce waved his wand again!
"Back to normal!"
Harry's cracked spectacle lenses "healed" on their own!
Harry hurriedly plucked his eyes off and said in surprise, "Wow! Looks like I should learn this spell! ”
"Huh! Bruce, you're amazing, you've learned all these senior spells! Hagrid exclaimed, "All right! I think Harry, you're safe, I'll go back first!" Be sure to come to my cabin when you get to school, I'll make you a birthday cake! ”
Bruce and Harry laughed, "It's decided!" See you at school! ”
Saying goodbye to Hagrid, the two walked towards the Blotstag's bookstore, and when they were almost there, Bruce saw Hermione, who was becoming more and more handsome at the door of the bookstore, and waved her hand excitedly at them.
"Bruce, Harry!" Hermione ran in front of the two, and Bruce immediately opened his arms to accept the hug, but Hermione rolled her eyes and ignored him!
"Harry! It's great to see you show up! Hermione laughed.
Harry laughed, "Hello, Hermione! It's such a pleasure to see you again! ”
"I haven't heard back from you, I'm really worried about you!" Hermione said.
"Hey, hey!" Bruce was very dissatisfied and said, "Hermione, should you care about me?" I risked my life to save Harry! ”
Hermione glanced at him, threw a thump, and said; "You're not dead anyway, are you?"
Then he said to Harry, "Let's go! Ron: They're here, and everyone is worried about you, so let's go inside...... And you, hurry in! ”
Eventually, Bruce walked into the Blotted bookstore laughing and laughing. After coming in, he found that there were really not many people here, and not all of them were students, there were many adults, and most of them were middle-aged women! There was a long line in the store, each with a book in their hands. Above the bookstore hangs a banner that reads: Gildlow Lockhart will autograph his autobiography "The Amazing Me" for sale today
Bruce looked at the title of the book speechlessly, and complained, "This title is really narcissistic!" ”
"What is this for?" Harry asked curiously.
Hermione said excitedly, "Don't you know? Gilderoy Lockhart is holding a book launch at the Blotted Bookstore today, and we can ask him for autographs. What's even more exciting is that he'll be our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher for the new semester, it's unbelievable! ”
"Huh!" Bruce glanced at Gilderoy Lockhart's new books in a prominent position and said, "Cut, isn't that just a book writer?" ”
"Don't say that about him!" Hermione said dissatisfiedly, "Professor Lockhart's books are all stories of his own experience, and he is very powerful!" You'll know if you've read his books, and he's read all his books during the holidays, it's really wonderful! ”
As soon as he said this, Bruce was even more dissatisfied, and said, "I'm starting to hate this professor I haven't met!" ”
"Humph!" Hermione glared at Bruce and ignored him, walking to the front to line up.
Harry teased, "Bruce, I have deep sympathy for what happened to you!" I didn't think this professor was so charismatic that Hermione could be so infatuated with him! ”
"Phew! What nonsense! Bruce hurriedly said, "He can also deceive the little girls and those housewives!" ”
"Harry!" At this time, Ron came up to the two and asked, "Where have you been?" ”
Harry said, "Huh! Nearby, but I don't want to remember that place! ”
At this moment, the owner of the bookstore came out and said in a high voice: "Gentlemen, ladies! Now, let us welcome Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart! ”
"Ahh Oh my God, he's coming! ”
"Bang Bang!"
Amid the cheers of the women in the bookstore, a man in his 30s with wavy hair in a blue forget-me-not flower walked out with a smile!
