Chapter 100: Lockhart's Wishful Thinking (Ask for Recommendation)
"Is your mother here too?"
Listening to Lockhart's question, Link's brow furrowed suddenly.
Said coldly:
"What do you mean by that?"
"Don't get me wrong, it's just a regular greeting. Lockhart shook his bangs and said with a smile, "Dumbledore has mentioned your name to me many times, Link, and he said you are a very gifted and very good child. I've seen everything I've just seen, and it's all the more proof that you have a warm and kind heart! Well, in order to reward you! I'm going to give you two sets of all my books!
Lockhart pulled out a large pile of books out of nowhere, and signed them with his fancy peacock quills before stuffing them into Link's hand.
This action caused a burst of exclamation from the surrounding crowd, especially Hermione, as a fan of Lockhart, the envy in her eyes when she looked at Link at this moment was almost substantial.
However, Link himself did not react much.
On the contrary, he became more vigilant.
Because he knew very well that a guy like Lockhart, who was more of a businessman than a writer, would never do something meaningless.
The act of the other party giving the book must have other purposes.
Sure enough, after enjoying some exclamation from others, Lockhart spoke again.
"Link, one of these two sets is for you, and the other is for your mother. I've always admired her, after all, she raised such a wonderful child as you. If I can, I'd love to talk to her more in the future. By the way, has your mother read my books, and what does that think of me?"
As soon as Lockhart said this, Link's eyes immediately became dangerous.
Because the meaning of wanting to develop Mrs. Foley into a fan in the other party's words is almost undisguised.
This made words such as 'rich woman, eating soft rice, cheating money and sex' automatically come to Link's mind.
'It's you, Lockhart!'
Link complained in his heart, but a mocking smile appeared on his face, and he said unceremoniously:
"Ah, of course she knows you. And whenever we listen to the Four Gamble Top 10 (a very famous weekly comedy show on Wizard Radio) at night, she always mentions you in passing, 'Lockhart, this guy is a big liar, and the only thing he can do is forget the Empty Spell.'" What do you think she means? ”
Link continued to follow Snape's example and accentuated his tone at the end.
And this time Lockhart's expression finally changed.
I saw that his face was blue and his eyes bulged outward, and he looked at Link for a long time, and then interrupted the awkward atmosphere around him with a high-pitched laugh.
"Hahahaha! Your mother is really good at laughing! Ha! Haha! I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I had something to go first, let's see you at Hogwarts, Link. Oh, and you, Harry!"
Lockhart walked away, leaving behind a large crowd of bewildered fans.
Link looked at the other party's slightly embarrassed back with a sneer.
Link couldn't figure out where Lockhart had the courage to fight Mrs. Foley's idea, and who didn't know about his dirty deeds in the whole wizarding circle?
Everyone just didn't want to offend people plainly, so they didn't demolish him.
"Link, how can you be so rude to Mr. Lockhart!"
Hermione's voice woke Link from his musings, and when Link heard the voice, he saw that Hermione had an angry look on his face.
"I'm telling the truth, Lockhart is a liar for his reputation. ”
Link said with a shrug of his shoulders.
Harry and Ron echoed the words around them.
They didn't have any affection for Lockhart, especially Harry, who instinctively disgusted him with Lockhart's forced rubbing of his heat.
"Oh my God, even if you don't like Mr. Lockhart, you don't have to slander him like that, do you?" Hermione said excitedly, "and not only is he a big man, but he will be our Defence Against the Dark Arts class next semester!
Neither Harry nor Ron spoke at this point.
Because if Lockhart really gave them little shoes, it would be quite uncomfortable, and the specific plot can refer to Snape's practice.
Link, on the other hand, sneered.
Little wizards like Harry and Hermione might think Lockhart is a great big guy.
But in Link's eyes, he was at best a cultural businessman with a small fortune.
When it comes to social class, he is not even qualified to carry shoes for most pure-blood nobles.
Such a guy, how can he get revenge on Link?
Putting little shoes on Link at school?
Or do you want to launch fan cyberbullying like some Internet celebrities in later generations?
Link felt that he would not dare to do either of these options, knowing that he had the handle in Link's hands now, and as long as Link was willing, he could ruin Lockhart at any time.
And even if he dared to do so, Link wouldn't be afraid.
Because Link was protected by Snape and Sprout, Lockhart couldn't do it at all.
As for the latter.
Even if Lockhart dared to do so, Link reckoned that his fans would not dare to take concrete action.
These so-called fans are just ordinary people, who may dare to openly curse Harry Potter or even Dumbledore.
But they would never dare to do that to Link.
Because Link's surname is Foley, and the Foley family is not only powerful and wealthy, but also has a Death Eater background.
In their minds, decent people like Harry Potter and Dumbledore wouldn't trouble them just because they sent a few curses.
But not necessarily a guy like Link with a Death Eater background.
If Link is really rushed, maybe a dark wizard will come to their door the next day to find trouble.
That's what Mrs. Foley said before.
Good people will always be bullied these days.
Shaking his head, Link didn't want to argue with Hermione anymore.
He knew very well that Hermione, who was now in the period of chasing stars, would not listen to it at all.
So Link quickly changed the subject, and finally after talking to Harry and the Weasleys for a while, he quickly returned to the Black Gold Monster.
It wasn't until Link's back faded from view that Mr. Granger smacked his mouth and asked Hermione:
"You took my treasured autographed poster and gave it to that young man?"
At this time, Hermione's mood had not completely calmed down, and she replied with some anger:
"That's right!"
Granger nodded thoughtfully.
He's not an idiot.
When it comes to IQ and EQ, as a dentist, he is much higher than Mr. Weasley.
From the observation of Link and the others just now, he has established one thing.
That is, Link's family must be rich and powerful, and Link himself is well-educated and an excellent child.
And if his daughter really wants to gain a foothold in the wizarding society, a world that clearly discriminates against Muggle wizards, such a friend can obviously provide a lot of help.
Thinking so, the expression on Mr. Granger's face became a little struggling.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth and said to Hermione:
"This Link is a big fan of basketball and football, right? To be honest, I still have a lot of signed sneakers or something, why don't you find a chance to give a few more?"
Hermione: "?"
