At 11:30 p.m., the CLBT team successfully met at the entrance of Diagon Alley, and after a summer vacation, Sergei was a lot taller and looked taller than Joel, while Eddie had a faint tendency to develop horizontally, his shoulders were broad and thick, and he looked like a rugby player.

"Have you read the book list?" Eddie waved the parchment, "It's all Gilderoy Lockhart!" Who is he? ”

"A best-selling author," Joel shrugged, "and like us, he was awarded the Order of the Order of the Merlin, Third Degree." ”

"That's a lot of people!" Alan looked at the crowd in front of the Blotting Bookstore and was a little surprised.

"When the CLBT magic course was fully solved, there weren't so many people queuing up to buy it, right?" Eddie was a little sour.

"Gilderoy Lockhart signed and sold his autobiography "I Can Magic" from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. today." Joel looked at the banner at the Blotted bookstore and whispered.

"I think his teeth are a little sick ......to his stomach," Eddie clutched his stomach, and Lockhart on the poster frequently showed off his white teeth and flowing blonde hair.

"Actually, he's much better than you," a girl's voice suddenly came from behind the four, Joel turned his head to find that it was the original Iron Triangle, and Hermione was holding a copy of Lockhart's autobiography looking at them angrily, "Although you have all received the Merlin Order of the Third Degree, you are not on the same level as him in terms of knowledge and ability. ”

"I admit that you have opened up the market for teaching materials, but you have only borrowed the existing exercises from various schools and the Ministry of Magic and explained and analyzed them, but Mr. Lockhart has written about his own personal experience, and there are many experiences in it that can be used for reference, and it is of great practical value."

"Excuse me, are we acquainted?" Eddie frowned and spread his hands, and Alan on the side laughed silly.

Hermione's face flushed, and Ron and Harry, who were on the side, saw that she still wanted to argue, and quickly pulled her to the line.

"Why are there all the women in line? It's all pretty too. Eddie looked at the warbler Yanyan in the long line of the signing line, and his heart was extremely sour, and Joel had no doubt that Eddie could open his mouth to spew out a sour liquid, comparable to the sour throat in Warcraft.

"One thing to say, I think Lockhart is inferior to me in terms of looks." Joel frowned, wondering why the Hogwarts girls weren't chasing him.

Oh, except for Helis.

As soon as he thought of her, Joel began to worry again.

Hearing Joel's narcissistic words, the three roommates set their eyes on him in unison, looking at him from head to toe.

"I think so," Eddie rubbed his chin and nodded, "I have to say you're the most handsome boy I've ever seen, a hundred times stronger than Lockhart." ”

It's not clear if there is personal feelings in this, Joel doesn't know.

Alan also nodded, and Sergei pursed his mouth and stabbed, "I think it's because you're too short now to be well developed." ”

14-year-old Joel is just 1.7 meters tall, looks thin, and really doesn't have Lockhart's manliness.

"Are you going to wait in line for the signing?" Alan asked.

"Of course not," Eddie glanced at the long line in disgust, "I'm never going to ask Lockhart for an autograph in my life." ”

The four of them turned around and inserted the Blotted Bookstore from the middle of the crowd, and the four of them finally saw Gilderoy Lockhart's face.

He sat behind a wooden table, surrounded by huge photographs of himself of faces all blinking at the crowd and showing their teeth dazzling white.

The real Lockhart wears a sky-blue robe that matches his blue eyes, a blue peaked wizard's hat playfully crooked over a blond curl, and a reporter from the Daily Prophet next to him, holding a camera in his hand and giving Lockhart a handsome picture from time to time.

"Let's go," Eddie said without glancing at Lockhart, heading inside the bookstore, "I'm going to buy some ice cream after buying the book, it's too hot." ”

The four of them hurriedly purchased a complete set of Lockhart books—all on the new semester's book list, followed by a few elective textbooks—which the students could choose to buy according to their actual situation, and Joel bought a set of Runiwen Books, a copy of "Introduction to Arithmetic and Divination", and "The Daily Life of Muggles".

The manager of the bookstore was tired, and when he checked out the bill, he didn't forget to look at the signing ceremony outside the store.

There was a sudden commotion in the long queue for signings, causing several people outside the store to turn their heads to look.

Lockhart stood up, his arms around a bewildered Harry and a big smile towards a camera.

After taking a picture, he pulled the puppeteer-like Harry into a different position, revealing his white teeth to the camera again.

"Vomit ......" Despite muffling his voice, Joel still heard Eddie's vomiting sound, apparently disgusted by Lockhart's behavior.

"Narcissistic, isn't it?" The bookstore manager was also familiar with them, and when he saw Eddie's reaction, he grinned, "But the girls eat him, they are willing to spend money on Lockhart's autobiography and the brand he endorses, and I invited him here to sign the sale, which is a sure deal." ”

Joel has to admit that Lockhart is very good at managing his image, which is not only the maintenance of his external image, but also the attitude towards fans, as long as you like him, he will stop and say a few words to you, and by the way, show a charming smile and take a photo with you.

He also likes to rub on the popularity of celebrities, such as the boy in front of him, who was used as a puppet by Lockhart, and took countless group photos in front of reporters.

Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet," Lockhart exclaimed, pressing down on his palms to signal everyone to be quiet, which Joel found was the same as Dumbledore's pre-school speech.

"This is the first signing of I Can Magic in the UK! I've had one in New York before, and they're doing a lot better than you. ”

"Today, I would like to take this wonderful occasion to announce a small matter, which I have not said for some time." Lockhart showed his snow-white teeth again, and the hand around Harry's shoulder tightened suddenly.

"This September, I will accept the invitation of Hogwarts Headmaster Professor Dumbledore to officially become Hogwarts' new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor!"

The signings cheered enthusiastically.

"Gildero's ability to apply for a position as a teacher at Hogwarts is definitely handy, right?"

"Didn't you hear Mr. Lockhart say that Professor Dumbledore personally invited him?"

"Worthy of Mr. Guidero...... It's time to change your name to Professor Lockhart, right? This year, students are blessed to receive the guidance of Professor Lockhart. ”
