Chapter 154: The Blotted Bookstore

Harry was an unwelcome outsider in the Dursleys, but in Malfoy Manor, Harry was treated as a young master of the same rank as Draco, so the future head of the Potter family lived like this, without mentioning anything about the Dursleys.

Today is the day to go to Diagon Alley to buy second-grade books, and the date is set by Wang Yi, because of an old friend who has not seen him for a long time.

"How are we going to get there? Riding a broomstick? Harry asked Draco.

"Of course not, how could we go out in such a shoddy way, at least if it was a phantom or something, but my uncle said he took us there today, so I'm not sure how."

"Does Professor Black know how to do it any other way?"

"Maybe we can ride Dorag to Diagon Alley?" Draco fantasized, "Maybe we can really try to be dragon knights!" ”

"Not today, next time, there's no place for the gigantic Dorag to land."

Wang Yi's voice suddenly appeared behind Harry and Draco.

"Wow! Uncle, how did you do that? My dad said that magic had been applied to the manor, and that apparition could not locate the manor. ”

Draco looked at Wang Yi with adoration.

"Of course, it's because I'm not using Phantom Shifting," Wang Yi waved at Lucius and Narcissa, "Dealing with some things, a little rush, you don't mind if I come and take you over, right?" ”

"Of course, I don't like the feeling of apparition, it's too uncomfortable for Draco to like."

Narcissa looked at Draco dotingly, Wang Yi wasn't sure if a woman would put all her energy into her child after giving birth, anyway, in Narcissa's case.

"Alright, boys, come and get in line, Uncle Sauron is going to open the door!"

Draco: "Open the door?" What the...... Wow~! ”

A black hole slowly appeared in front of everyone, at first as an inconspicuous existence as a black dot, and then gradually grew in size until it became a normal-sized portal, opposite which was bustling with streets.

Wang Yi was the first to step through the door, then turned around and beckoned to the three little ghosts, "Come over here, children, I will introduce you to a friend who will also come to teach at Hogwarts this year." ”

As if walking through a real door, Harry walked through the portal without any discomfort.

This is a bookstore, the same Blotted Bookstore that Hagrid brought Harry to last year, and there is already a long line in front of the store, there are many wizards, most of them witches, of course.

The bookstore was plastered all over with posters showing a middle-aged man smiling eight teeth at people.

"Gilderoy Lockhart will be autographing his autobiography "I Can Magic" today from 12:30 to 4:30, who is this? Is he famous? ”

"Hmm...... Anyway, Harry, his status in fiction is the same as your status in the wizarding world, and no one has been able to surpass it so far. ”

"That's amazing!"

Both Harry and Draco, and of course Sakura, who was following them, were extremely interested in Gilderoy Lockhart, and what excited them even more was yet to come.

"And he'll be your teacher, Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Dumbledore personally invited."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go meet him! Draco couldn't wait any longer, pulling Harry and Sakura to squeeze through the cracks in the crowd.

"Wait, Draco, watch your manners."

Lucius and Narcissa were also behind, and seeing his son so impulsive, Lucius immediately stopped him.

"Alright, little ones, don't be in such a hurry, you can see him in a moment, look, he's out."

A man walked in slowly and sat down at a table with a floor-strewn poster of Gilderoy Lockhart winking at the crowd, snow-white teeth glittering in the flash.

The real Gilderoy Lockhart wore a blue magic robe made of forget-me-not flowers that matched the color of his eyes, and his pointed wizard hat smirked over his wavy hair.

A short, grumpy man with a black camera shoots from side to side, and after each glare of flash, the camera always shoots out a puff of purple smoke.

"Go away, go over there!" He yelled at the three children and jumped back to find a better spot to take the picture. "This was for the Daily Prophet!"

"Idiot!" Draco said, rubbing his hand at the foot that had been trampled by the cameraman, wondering if he should ask Lucius to find out who this guy was, and then punish the reckless cameraman "appropriately".

Lockhart obviously heard this curse, he raised his head, looked over, and then found Wang Yi standing there at first glance, was about to smile and say hello, and then changed objects under the two warning eyes, and it happened that there was a suitable luck (pour) luck (mold) (egg) next to Wang Yi.

Lockhart suddenly jumped to his feet and shouted cheerfully, "Isn't this Harry Potter!" ”

The crowd immediately moved out of the way, and everyone was chattering excitedly. Lockhart parted the crowd and walked up to Harry, grabbing his hand and pulling him forward, and the crowd erupted in applause.

When Lockhart shook hands with Harry and posed for the photographer to take a picture, Harry's face felt as hot as fire.

"Laugh harder, Harry," Lockhart said, squeezing through his dazzling teeth.

"Together, you and I, we deserve to be on the front page of the newspaper." When he finally let go of Harry's hand, Harry was almost completely unconscious of his fingers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, 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 Potter walked into the Blotted Bookstore today, he just wanted to buy my autobiography, and of course I was more than willing to give it to him for free on the spot," there was a round of applause, "but he didn't know," Lockhart continued, "that he would not only have my new book, I Can Magic, but more than I can imagine." In fact, he and his classmates will get a real, magical me! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am honored and proud to announce that I will be inaugurated at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this September as their new Defence Against the Dark Arts course! ”

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, and Harry was holding the entire set of books that Lockhart had given him, all in tome of crust paper, which added a lot of weight.

"How's it going, Harry? Lockhart is very welcoming. ”

"Yes, yes," Harry cupped his glasses, "but Professor, you don't seem surprised at all?" ”

"Of course, he is enthusiastic about you for good reason, and he had a very close relationship with your father when he was in school." Wang Yi said with a smile, but Harry felt that there seemed to be something in it that had been deliberately ignored.

"He's friends with my dad?" Harry asked eagerly, neither the professors at the school nor the elders he knew well in the past year, such as Wang Yi, had taken the initiative to mention his parents to him.

"In a sense, yes, they're very close friends."

Harry looked thoughtfully at Lockhart, who was still talking in front of the reporters, as if he had something in mind.

"Harry! You're here! We've been looking for you for a long time! ”

A red-haired, freckled boy said to Harry, followed by a brown-haired girl.

"Hey! Ron! And Hermione. ”

"We've sent you hundreds of letters all summer, but you haven't replied to us once!"

Ron's tone was a little resentful, but anyone would probably be the same if they encountered such a thing.

"I'm sorry, Ron, I didn't get a single letter, but it was all made by a crazy house-elf, and I didn't get any letters from Draco and Sakura."

"Oh, well, in that case, you're fine."

"I think before complaining about other people, I should think about whether I'm qualified to do that, don't you think, Arthur?"

Lucius spoke very gently, targeting the middle-aged red-haired man who had followed Ron.

"Don't show off your aristocratic stuff, Lucius, they're just kids, just showing their concern for each other in their own way."

The red-haired man said pointedly, but it was not clear whether it was the truth or the person who spoke.

Perhaps because of Harry's presence, both Lucius and Arthur were reluctant to show their unfriendly sides, so they left with their respective wives very tacitly.

"Now that you've found Harry, have fun, kids, we're waiting for you at home."

"Let's leave first, and then bring Harry and Sakura back with your uncle in a moment." ……

"So...... Is there really a daddy aura hidden in me? ”

Looking at the original three Harry, as well as the three brothers Fred, George, and Ron of the Weasley family, as well as Ginny and Hermione, the professor of protective magical creatures who had been upgraded to the child king tilted his head, and looked at Lockhart who was still posing on the side with malicious intent, and made a decision in his heart.

"Girls, you must be interested in Gildero, right? George and Fred, don't you think you should ask Mr. Adventurer for some lessons? Rest of the gentlemen, you don't leave your companions behind, do you? ”

Wang Yi, who received an affirmative answer, smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time, Lockhart, who was smiling at the camera, suddenly trembled.

(Is there anything good going to happen?) He smiled even brighterβ€”
