Chapter Eighty-Seven: Book Launch (Part II)

As Luo Cheng spoke, he looked up and saw Mrs. Weasley running towards her in a hurry, the handbag she was carrying in one hand swinging violently, and Ginny pulled her other hand and followed with difficulty.

"Oh, Harryβ€”oh, dear!"

Breathless, she pulled a coat brush out of her bag and began to sweep away the soot that Hagrid hadn't swatted.

"It's great that you're okay. Professor Luo Cheng, did you save Harry? ”

"Well, it's not quite accurate to use the word rescue, anyway, Harry is doing well, but he was a little frightened, I have to go, the time I agreed with Mr. Lockhart is almost up, let's see you later, Lockhart's new book launch is at the Blotted bookstore, if you come early, you should be able to catch up."

"Oh! Are you sure? Is it Lockhart himself who came? Mrs. Weasley was excited.

"Of course, Aunt Molly, you have to come early, because Mr. Lockhart has a lot of book fans, and his entire set of books has been included in this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts."

Farewell to the Weasleys and Harry Potter. Luo Cheng strode away, and soon he came to the Blotted Bookstore, which was already packed, and a large banner was pulled upstairs: Gilderoy Lockhart signed autobiography "I Can Magic", 12:30-4:30 p.m. today.

The majority of the crowd seemed to be witches of Mrs. Weasley's age. A weary-looking wizard stood in the doorway and said, "Ladies, be quiet...... Don't crowd...... Beware of book ......"

The zigzag line runs from the doorway to the back of the bookstore, where Gilderoy Lockhart is supposed to sign books.

"Let me thank you, I have something to go in, I don't want to sign it......"

Luo Cheng struggled to squeeze into the crowd and moved forward with difficulty, he finally realized the high popularity of Gilderoy Lockhart, this product is simply the Supo idol in the wizarding world.

Finally he spotted Gilderoy Lockhart, who was sitting behind a desk, surrounded by large photographs of himself with faces all winking at the crowd and showing their white teeth, and the real Lockhart was wearing a robe as blue as forget-me-nots, matching his blue eyes. The peaked wizard's hat is playfully crooked over a curly hair.

A short, grumpy man holding a large black camera jumped up and down to take pictures in front of him. Every time the flash flashes blindly, puffs of purple smoke erupt from the camera.

"Get out of the way," he yelled at Luo Cheng, stepping back to pick a better angle, "This is for the Daily Prophet." ”

"I'm afraid Mr. Lockhart wouldn't think so."

Gilderoy Lockhart heard the movement, he raised his head and saw Luo Cheng, and immediately jumped up and shouted, "Isn't this Professor Luo Cheng?" ”

Lockhart rushed forward, grabbed Luo Cheng's arm, pulled him to the front, and then said to the short boy: "This is Professor Luo Cheng from Hogwarts, I invited him here, the signing has not started yet, as for the photo, let's take it later." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'll take my leave for a while, and we'll start the signing meeting on time at 12:30!"

Lockhart shouted at the crowd, and then pulled Luo Cheng into the warehouse of the Blotted Bookstore, despite the cries of the crazy fans.

"I'm very sorry Professor Luo Cheng, I'm so busy that I can only make an appointment with you before the signing meeting."

Lockhart rubbed his hands together and said embarrassedly.

"It's alright, Mr. Lockhart, no, Professor Lockhart should be it."

Luo Cheng said with a smile. "Haven't you announced to your fans about your appointment as a professor at Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"Hahaha, I'll announce this at the signing in a moment, and thank you so much, my book sales have doubled!"
