Luke looked at the pile of books in front of him, and the expression on his face could only be said to be a little complicated.

"Do you want to buy a collector's edition?" Lady Ritted looked at the young man in front of her enthusiastically, and Luke was also known for his boldness throughout Diagon Alley. Of course, no one dared to slaughter Luke like a fat sheep, after all, the young man's eye was also notoriously good in Diagon Alley. As long as the thing is good, it doesn't matter if it's expensive.

But if the thing is not good, and you still want to buy it at a high price, it is a bit of a bully.

Luke would never accept it.

Fortunately, no one wanted to try to touch Luke's brow, what the consequences were. Diagon Alley is not Tumbledown Alley after all. The vast majority of the people here are still in serious business.

Naturally, Mrs. Ritter is trying to sell as much more expensive things as possible to this high-quality customer in front of her.

She took out a hardcover collector's edition of "Breaking with the Female Ghost" and said to Luke enthusiastically, "There is also a signing session of Mr. Lockhart today. He'll be able to sign the book for you later, and I think he'll be happy to take a picture with you."

Luke could see Lady Reedent's obvious admiration, which made Luke feel Lockhart's power deeply.

Why does this guy have so much power over women?

This puzzled Luke.

Taylor glanced at the book, and the picture of the blonde man with a big smile on the cover of the book, and shook his head repeatedly.

"I just want the regular version."

She pointed to the book on the shelf, which still looked flashy on the cover, but had no photograph at all.

Luke nodded and said, "I'm the same, although I have money, but money can't be wasted."

Even though this kind of book is already a waste of buying it......

Of course, Luke is confident that if he takes the initiative to take a picture with Lockhart, Lockhart will definitely offer to give him a hardcover autographed book. But when he thought about it, Luke thought it would be better to spend two dollars on his own.

Otherwise, he became Lockhart's good friend for some reason, just like Harry, and after Lockhart's house collapsed, he tried to find a way to get rid of the relationship.

There are always people who feel that Lockhart is in full swing now. But Luke knew that this was his last glory.

"Okay, but you can still attend Mr. Lockhart's book club, and I think Mr. Lockhart will be happy to have you there."

Lady Remark looked regretful, and then said to Luke about the book club in a tone of 'If it doesn't work to lift the roof, let's open the window.'

Luke and Taylor looked at each other.

"Let's think about it."

After Luke finished speaking, regardless of the regret or dissatisfaction on Lady Regent's face, he turned around and left.

Lockhart himself is, of course, a nuisance. But his fans can bring more trouble to people than others at some point.

After all, many times, as a public figure, Lockhart can't reach the public, and the public can't reach him. But his fans are different.

"If Lockhart's fans take it for granted that people like Lockhart as much as Mrs. Ritz, then I suddenly understand why so many people don't like Lockhart." ….

Taylor said thoughtfully to Luke after escaping from Lady Retouch's mental attack. She didn't really reject Lockhart as a person at first. Even Luke said that there were problems with the man's writings and personally. She's not too repulsive either. Because she knows that there are no good people in this world in the absolute sense.

Even if Luke had said good things in front of her, she still lacked the most basic trust in Dumbledore. Fortunately, Luke didn't force it.

The two of them walked out of the Blotted bookstore. As school day approached, the entire Diagon Alley seemed so crowded. The little wizard who is preparing to enter the school this year is coming to Diagon Alley with anticipation. For those children who come from wizarding families, Diagon Alley today is very different to them. And those who are not from wizarding families are even more common, and they, and even the demons behind them

Parents who are interested in the world of law are particularly interested in this crowded and narrow, but clean and vibrant alley.

This is understandable, when a normal person hears about a world they don't understand, their first reaction is naturally disgust, followed by curiosity or rejection.

But the vast majority of those who choose to come here are people who are curious about this new time.

Of course, the gaze they receive here is not all friendly.

Passing by a small alley, Taylor glanced inside, then said to Luke, "I'm going to go down the alley and find out if there's anything that can be used."

Luke glanced at Taylor in surprise, "You often go to Tumbledown Alley?"

Taylor nodded, then gave Luke a roll of his eyes, "What do you think my life was before?" Does the eldest lady who comes to reach out for food to open her mouth live? My grandmother and I are hiding from XZ."

The lives of the two of them are not bad, and naturally they are not too good. Grandma has a way to get money, so she can't talk about it, but she can't be as rich as Luke.

But she also knew that Luke's life wasn't necessarily good. After all, a person who has no parents to take care of him and has to live alone since he was six years old, no matter how rich he is, is not necessarily better than his own life.

It's just that Luke hasn't had direct contact with the rats in Tumbledown Alley now.

"Would you like to come in and have a look?"

Standing at the mouth of Tumbledown Alley, Taylor said, "It's not a good place, but light and darkness are combined......

Taylor's words were not finished, but the meaning was already clear.

Luke didn't hesitate, but nodded directly. There was no expectation on his face, but there was no disgust or reluctance.

Taylor knew he wasn't unhappy with that look, and that was enough. Whether he likes it or hates it, he always can't avoid this link.

As the two men approached the alley, a group of people emerged from the dark corners, each of them wearing dirty and tattered clothes, and the expressions on their faces looked a little fierce.

But no one dared to come closer.

Luke saw timidity and awe in their emotions. And Luke doesn't think it's aimed at himself, his face and his identity are not so important to this group of people who have nothing, but because of their identity, they will become a big fat sheep in their eyes. ….

It's like no one doesn't know the identity of Harry Potter, and no one doesn't recognize that iconic lightning scar. But someone dared to show up at Harry's side and try to pull him into his cabin.

So what can make this group of people fear......

Luke glanced at Taylor, who looked calm, even a little like the ease of returning home, and didn't know what to say for a while.

It seems that he really doesn't know enough about Taylor's past.

And at this moment, there was a commotion in front of me.

Taylor subconsciously protected Luke behind him, took out the wand in his hand, and looked at the group of people around him vigilantly.

The group of people chose to push away the moment they saw Taylor draw their wands, and spread their hands to show that they had no ill intentions.

Luke didn't panic, and he didn't mean to push Taylor away and get in front of Taylor. He knows very well that his face here is far less than that of Taylor.

In the distance, they saw Harry, who was being torn from his clothes and looked embarrassed.

"Hey! Harry, here!"

Luke had already thought it was Harry, but he didn't speak.

It's really a bit of fun to look at Harry's embarrassed appearance now.

"Luke!"

The moment Harry saw Luke, it was like seeing a savior, and quickly ran behind Luke and hid.

And those who were chasing Harry were seeing this

After the situation on the side, they also stopped, they looked at this side vigilantly, and finally chose to leave.

Looking at the back of the group as they left, Harry was visibly relieved.

Luke looked at the embarrassed Harry with some amusement and asked, "How did you get to Tumbledown Alley?" Do you know this place?"

Harry shook his head repeatedly, looking at the place that he knew was not a good place, and said, "I got the wrong place when I was using Floo Powder. I was teleported to a shop called Borgin Burke. The old man was a little scary. But...... The things outside the store are even more scary......

Harry's expression of wanting to cry without tears made Taylor on the side feel a little funny.

"Boginbock is a relatively normal shop in Tumbledown Alley. Mr. Borgin seems to be fierce though. But in the merchants of Tumbledown Alley, he is already fair."

Taylor said to Harry with a smile.

But Luke was noncommittal. He still remembers the price at which his locket was sold...... can only say that no matter how fair it is, this is also a shop opened in Tumbledown Alley.

There's no need to pan for metal in the dung.

Harry glanced at the blonde girl in front of him in surprise. I didn't pay attention when I was scared before, but in fact, I knew at a glance that the girl in front of me was really very beautiful. More critically...... He knew this girl.

"Taylor?" Harry looked at Taylor carefully for a moment, then said seriously, "You've changed so much."

Taylor didn't know what Gao was talking about for a while, except that every classmate who saw her would say that.

Luke looked at the guys who were still wandering around, shook his head silently, and said, "It looks like our trip to Tumbledown Alley has been delayed. Send Harry to Mr. Wesley first." ….

Taylor nodded, and then walked back to the opening in front of him. Luke, on the other hand, pushed Harry in front of him, walking at the end of the line.

And before they could get out of Tumbledown Alley, they saw a familiar figure not far from the mouth of the alley.

"Hagrid!"

Harry looked at the tall figure, waved his hand to greet him, and shouted happily.

Hagrid did not respond to him happily, but walked forward quickly, protected the three children, looked around vigilantly, and walked quickly towards the alley with the three children.

As he walked, Hagrid said helplessly, "I felt like it should be you outside the alley, so I hurried down to pick you up. What are you doing, how can you go to that kind of place?"

Harry felt a little embarrassed. Luke looked indifferent. Taylor shook his head and said, "You're a regular here, too, don't be too protective of Harry, Hagrid."

Hagrid wanted to retort, but there was no excuse. After all, Taylor is telling the truth.

"That's not where you kids should be." Hagrid muttered, but he could tell that Taylor was feeling a little down, so he shook his head.

"Luke! Taylor! Harry! You're all here!"

Not far away, Hermione saw them and ran away.

Seeing that Harry was covered in dirt, she asked with some concern, "Are you alright?"

Then she saw the broken glasses on Harry's face.

Hermione gave Luke a helpless look, "Can't you just fix his glasses for him?"

With that, he pulled out his wand and shot at Harry's glasses to fix it.

Luke shrugged his shoulders and said, "He's already embarrassed like this, and it's just a trivial matter for the glasses to break."

And Luke wasn't Harry's dad either, so there's no need to care about him so much. Speaking of which, Hermione cared for Harry in a way that was like a big sister, or even like a mother......

"Wesley is here at the Blotted Bookstore for Mr. Lockhart's book fan meeting, do you want to go?"

Hermione asked, looking at Luke and Taylor. And as he spoke, he had already grabbed Taylor's arm, and his eyes were just looking at Luke.

Taylor smiled and shook his head, it looked like it was a given that he was going to the event.

Luke was disgusted with Lockhart and knew what was going to happen later, so he shook his head and said, "Go over and have a look. Hagrid, where are you going?"

Hagrid heard Luke's question, and replied, "I'm going to Griffin." Go there and sell some of the creatures in the Forbidden Forest for the hair and stuff that they have replaced. Then buy something to give them a boost."

"You know, so much happened last year, and a lot of magical beasts were a little frightened. Every now and then I have to buy something they like to appease them."

Luke guessed that Hagrid had been tricked by those shrewd magical beasts. However, I thought that Hagrid himself did not reject this kind of thing, so I didn't bother to say it.

"I'll go with you. By the way, let's see what I can buy." ….

Seriously, he really felt a loss when he came to Tumbledown Alley and only bought a bunch of Lockhart's books. It's not that the book is bad, after all, as long as the content doesn't care about the name of the protagonist and ignores too much boasting, then even if the content is detailed and full of dry goods.

After all, these stories are true, and they are just 'stolen by Lockhart's brains'.

Hagrid nodded, "No problem!"

If it was another student, he hesitated, but if it was Luke, then naturally he didn't have any other opinions. Rather, he was looking forward to meeting Luke.

After all, everyone else cares about Luke's peachy news this summer. And he was very keen to discover that when Luke was in the United States, he lived in the house of Professor Newt Scamander.

This is a major positive for Hagrid. He had wanted to talk to Professor Scamander for a long time. It's a pity that this opportunity has never been available. And now that a magical beast lover who has had an in-depth communication with Professor Scamander, or even half a magical beast researcher, is in front of him, how can he let it go so easily!

Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving, Hermione snorted twice, and then pulled her best friend to buy books. Of course, the main reason is that she really likes Lockhart. Although Lockhart is not as handsome as Luke. But there is a feeling of a handsome adult.

And his stories that are close to legend, are extremely lethal to a little witch of Hermione's age, eager for adventure and heroes. And for a witch of Mrs. Wesley's age, his smile was full of charm.

It's still fascinating.

Harry was behind the two men, and he had to go to Wes's family and buy books.

Taylor was actually a little curious about the Gilderoy Lockhart who could make Luke avoid.

So soon, she saw the man. Blonde hair, shiny white teeth. He looks really handsome. But Taylor doesn't take this bite, so he doesn't feel anything.

As for those stories. Luke has said that his story is suspicious, so there must be something wrong with the source of this person's story.

And Lockhart's next actions also made Taylor completely lose his favor for Lockhart.

He didn't care about Harry's opinion at all, and directly dragged Harry to his side to take a group photo.

The other party's movements were so fast that Taylor didn't react much, and the other party finished filming.

This made Taylor's brow furrow. She suddenly understood why Luke was avoiding this guy.

After all, photos are not only important in the eyes of some people, but they represent an attitude in the eyes of some people.

And what happened after that made Taylor feel even more helpless.

Malfoy stepped forward and sneered at Harry. Of course, the relationship between the two is not bad, so he is just using this way to remind Luke to be careful not to be used as a gun.

But Ginny still couldn't hear this, and went up to argue with Malfoy. Malfoy just gave face to Luke and Harry, it doesn't mean that he really looks down on Wesley's little girl.

So it's a real meal

cynicism in the sense. He is not a generous lord in his own right.

Of course, in front of Taylor, it was quite restrained.

But even so, it was enough to make Ginny, a little girl who was pampered by her parents and brothers since she was a child, break her defenses. So naturally, Percy, George and Fred, Ron and Harry, who are older brothers, can't sit idly by.

So a dispute is about to start.

Taylor knew that as the only neutral in this dispute, she would now either mediate or leave.

"Is that what you expected? Luke ......"

Just then, Lucius Malfoy walked over.

"Draco...... Be kind to people......".

I don't update
