Chapter 41: Lockhart's Signing Session

Saying goodbye to Percy Yang walked in the direction of the bookstore. While the Western wizarding world is full of blood-obsessed antiques, it also has its good side. For example, the Blotted Bookstore, although the books in it are not as ancient and mysterious as those in the forbidden section of Hogwarts. But there are still a lot of interesting books here. Seniors of all stripes like to write their knowledge into books and sell it to the Blotte Bookstore for a fee.

Sometimes it can be said that Hogwarts professors are very profitable, especially teachers of compulsory courses. This is because the textbooks required by students of all grades are assigned by the teacher. Although I feel that most professors will choose very professional books, there are always surprises.

For example, this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class taught Girald Lockhart. Yang Su didn't know how he got so famous, but Yang Su was sure that he was definitely not a good teacher.

This can be seen in the textbooks he assigned: Gilderoy Lockhart's Travels with Ghouls, Gilderoy Lockhart's Vacation with Dominatrix, Gilderoy Lockhart's Walk with Trolls, Gilderoy Lockhart's Travels on the Same Boat, Gilderoy Lockhart's Wandering with Werewolves, Gilderoy Lockhart's A Year with a Tibetan Yeti......

This is the textbook for Defense Against the Dark Arts class! When they saw the students' book lists, Yang Su and Snape felt extremely angry. The former saw Giraud Lockhart as an insult to the teaching profession, while the latter expressed anger at the fact that such a person could take the position he wanted.

Even Dumbledore regretted it, but after all, he had successfully hired Giraud Lockhart as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, and the choice of textbooks alone could not directly dismiss him. After all, there are even a few of the school directors who are fans of his books.

Then walking forward, Yang Su saw that the bookstore was full of people, and glanced at the situation in front of him, Yang Su saw a large banner pulled out upstairs: Gilderoy Lockhart signed and sold his autobiography "I Can Magic" from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. today.

"I didn't expect to meet my new colleague here, so I'm not interested in him, but I'd better go and check it out."

Yang Su once saw a copy of Girald Lockhart's, in the Hogwarts Library. Although I only read a little bit and then inserted it back into the bookshelf.

As a book, it is not at all as good as the starting point of Yang Su before he crossed. As for the textbooks, Yang Su said that he wanted to burn these books, which would be of no use to the students' dark arts defense abilities except for affecting the learning of other professional courses.

Yang Su saw Gilderoy Lockhart from afar. He sat behind his desk, surrounded by large photographs of himself of faces all blinking at the crowd and showing their teeth dazzling white. The real Lockhart wears a robe as blue as a forget-me-not flower, matching his blue eyes. The peaked wizard's hat is playfully crooked over a curly hair.

And at this moment, Yang Su saw Harry and Ron Hermione who were squeezing into the crowd. "Harry, are you here too? Looks like we're out of luck, it's all people. ”

"yes, it's crowded. By the way, Mr. Robin, did you see Ron's parents? "We met here.

"I just seemed to see it, wait a minute, I'll take another look." As he spoke, Yang Su looked at the crowd. Soon he saw Mrs. Veles waiting in line for an autograph.

"Found it, I'll take you there right away." When he found the traces of the Veles, Yang Su pointed out the direction to the little ones and let them pass.

Time passed slowly, and there were still many people gathered in front of the bookstore, and even more and more people because of Giraud Lockhart. At this time, Lockhart saw Harry next to the Wellies family.

Lockhart jumped up and shouted, "Isn't this Harry Potter?"

As Lockhart spoke, all eyes turned to Harry.

The crowd moved out of the way, whispering excitedly. Lockhart rushed forward, grabbed Harry's arm, and pulled him forward, causing the audience to burst into applause. Harry had a fever on his face, and Lockhart held his hand for the photographer to take a picture. A short man frantically clicked the shutter, and puffs of smoke drifted onto the Weasleys.

What a beautiful smile, Harry. Lockhart himself showed off a mouthful of shiny teeth, "We can both go to the first edition." ”

When he finally let go of Harry's hand, Harry's fingers went numb. He tried to slip back to the Weasleys, but Lockhart's arm was still on his shoulder, holding him firmly by his side. "Ladies and gentlemen," Lockhart said aloud, waving his hand to silence everyone, "what an extraordinary moment! I would like to take this wonderful occasion to announce a small matter, which I have not said for some time. ”

"When young Harry walked into the Blotted Bookstore today, he just wanted to buy my autobiography, and I was willing to give him the book for free on the spot." "But he doesn't know," Lockhart continued, shaking Harry so that his glasses slipped onto the tip of his nose, "he's going to get something more valuable than the clumsy work "I Can Magic," and in fact, he and his classmates are going to get a real, magical me." Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure and pride to announce that I will be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

"It's really ostentatious, and I don't hesitate to promote myself wildly." Looking at Lockhart's performance, Yang Su slandered in his heart.

That's when he saw Harry, who had left Lockhart, walking up to Ginny's side. Put the full set of Lockhart books he had just gotten into Ginny's cauldron.

It was at this time that Draco and his father, Malfoy Sr., approached the Blotted Bookstore. They had already seen what had just happened. Draco sourly said to the scene where Harry had just been popular, "You like that, don't you?" ”

"The famous Harry Potter," Malfoy said, "can't help but make front-page news even in a bookstore." ”

Ginny, next to Harry, seemed to try to defend Harry, but after being teased by Draco, Ginny backed away.

At this time, Ron and Hermione had already bought the books they were going to and walked over. Seeing the look of disgust on Malforon's face, "You must be surprised to see Harry here, huh?"

"What surprised me even more was to see you enter the store, Weasley." Malfoy scoffed, "I guess your mom and dad are going to be hungry next month to buy those things." ”

Malfoy is a good talker, easily grasping at the weakness of the Welles family and verbally attacking them.
