Chapter 31: Gilderoy Lockhart

Walked out of Gringotts, first went to replenish the potion raw materials needed on the list, and then, he went to the Blotsis bookstore, purchased some needed books, he walked towards the Blotte bookstore, before he got to the place, he saw a large number of people in the distance not fanatically gathered in front of the bookstore, waving the books in their hands, as if cheering for someone, a magic banner hung in the air, I couldn't see what was written, but it kept shining, and a tall and handsome male wizard in a gorgeous robe stood under the banner, Eight white glittering teeth were bared, and his bright smile was unleashed into the crowd.

When Kachel got closer, a large banner read, "Gilderoy Lockhart autographed for sale of his autobiography 'I Can Magic'." The corners of Kachel's mouth twitched when he looked at the words on it, looking at Lockhart in the crowd who showed his self-righteous smile to the crowd, Carchel sighed and shook his head, the most wasteful professor in the history of Hogwarts, Gilderoy Lockhart who was useless except for the Oblivion Charm.

"Hey, Kachel, why didn't you write to me during the holidays?" Pansy and Daphne Greengrass, the two sisters Astoria Greengrass saw Kachel and walked over, and Kachel looked at this tsundere little Lori and laughed, "Well, I'm too busy, I forgot to write, you know, I'm the only son in the family, and now I have to learn something about the family." "Oh," Pansy knew that there was something that could not be escaped as a nobleman, so he did not pursue the fact that Kachel did not write to her, "What are you doing here?" "Oh, I was just going to buy the things on the list, but, I saw a peacock swaggering everywhere" Kachel stretched out his head to the crowd in front of him disdainfully, and motioned for Pansy to look there, "Well, you're right, Carcell" Pansy looked at Lockhart and said with a smile on his lips, "By the way, how are you with Greengrass and them?" As he spoke, he looked at the two sisters, and Pansy replied honestly. Oh, the two Greengrass sisters are going to study at Hogwarts this year, so I'll bring them here to buy things, and besides, it's also appropriate for the same nobles to take care of each other, unlike someone who can't even see a shadow" Pansy deliberately skimmed Kachel after speaking, and Carchel hurriedly covered up his embarrassment with a few "coughs", and beckoned to the two sisters who came over; "Daphne, Astoria, hello!" The two sisters said in unison with a smile on their faces; "Hello! "Let's go, I'm in the bookstore!" ”

When the two sisters, Carcell, Pansy, and Greengrass, entered the Blotted bookstore, they saw a group of people watching Lockhart, and Carchel also saw Harry, Hermione and the Weasley family at this time, out of courtesy, Carchel went over to say hello, but because Carchel is a nobleman, and the Weasley family belongs to the shame of the nobility, so, without much talk, Carchel said hello to Harry and Hermione, "Carchel, why do you bother to say hello to the redheads?" Their family is a disgrace among the nobility" Pansy said with a look of disgust, and the two sisters next to her also nodded, puzzled by Kachel's behavior, and Kachel sighed, "Although, I don't want to admit it, but, you have to know that the necessary interpersonal relationships must be had, and you can't stay away from him just because the other party is someone you hate, maybe you will use him at any time, there are only eternal interests, no eternal enemies!" "Pap" There was applause behind Carcell, and Carchel turned to see Lucius Malfoy and Draco Malfoy standing behind him, "Uncle Lucius" Carchel hurriedly saluted, and the Pansy also saluted and shouted "Uncle Lucius", "En" Lucius nodded at Pansy and the three, and then looked at Carcius again; "Kachel, you're right, even enemies can become friends when the interests outweigh the value of your enemies, and I'm glad you can say such things, proving that you've grown up and become a pure nobleman who is qualified and even surpasses us old guys, I think that Srock guy will be proud of you!" Lucius patted Kachel on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

While Carchel was buying with Draco and Pansy, a short man, holding a huge black camera, jumped around to help Gilderoy Lockhart shoot in various poses, the camera emitted a puff of purple smoke, and Gilderoy Lockhart, who was signing, looked up, and he saw Hermione, then the Weasleys, and finally Harry standing behind, "Oh, isn't this Harry Potter?" He hurriedly got up and walked over, and the people gave way, excitedly saying the name of Harry Potter, "Come on, Harry, come to the front." Lockhart grabbed Harry's arm and walked to the crowd, and the crowd immediately erupted in a deafening applause, and Kachel saw that Mrs. Jasmine Weasley was also clapping desperately, and his chubby face turned red, and Kachel thought evilly, if Lockhart was willing to estimate that Mr. Weasley would be cuckolded, "Carchel, what are you laughing at?" Pansy saw that Kachel was smiling and asked, "It's nothing, it's just funny things" Carchel replied with a quick smile, "Look at the scar, it's exactly like a clown" Draco completely missed any opportunity to taunt Harry.

"Well, Harry, you're smiling beautifully!" Lockhart smiled happily and showed his trademark smile to the crowd, eight teeth glittering, and one man after another holding a black camera jumped forward and backward excitedly, "Harry is Lockhart's picture!" That's good news! The short man shouted; Harry Potter, the boy who never died, turned out to be a big fan of Gilderoy Lockhart, and he went to the bookstore to ask for an autograph on the signing day. ”

Gilderoy Lockhart waved his hand; "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Potter came to the Blotted Bookstore today to buy my new book "I Can Magic", but he may not know about it, and in the near future, he will really get a magic me, I have accepted Professor Dumbledore's invitation to take up the role of Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor this year" Carchel and Pansy have long known the Tao at home, but they can't help but hold their foreheads, "Can't Dumbledore find someone better?" Pansy said to Carchel with frustration in her voice, "I think that last year's incident made a lot of people afraid to apply for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts," Carchel shrugged his shoulders and replied, "But, at least it's not that bad, we don't have to worry about him being a book lover, and besides, he's able to handle it well!" ”
