Chapter Ninety-Four: Gilderoy Lockhart Gets the Headlines

"This gentleman is so good at saying that I dare say that Ernne Puran doesn't know as much about the history of the Rider Bus as you do, may I ask you?"

"I'm Luo Cheng, and I'm teaching ideology and moral education at Hogwarts."

Stan was in awe of Luo Cheng. "No wonder you know so much about the knight bus, it turns out that you are a professor at Hogwarts at such a young age, thinking about moral education? It's a new course, and it sounds amazing. By the way, this is our driver, Ernne Poran. Erne, this is Professor Luo Cheng. ”

The driver sat in an armchair in front of the steering wheel. Erne Puran is an older wizard who wears glasses with thick lenses. He nodded to Luo Cheng.

"Get behind the wheel, Ernne." Stan says that he sits in the armchair next to Ernne. "Gentlemen, we are leaving, please sit or lie on the bed, there will be a bit of a lot of movement at the start.

Luo Cheng lay on the bed and closed his eyes, he planned to sleep well.

Harry and Ron were a little excited, and they sat up and looked out the window to see how the Knight's bus was moving.

There was a thud and Harry and Ron both collapsed on the bed - the speed of the knight's bus threw them backwards.

Harry perked himself up and looked out the window to see that they were now driving steadily and quickly along a completely different street. Stan was looking at Harry's surprised face with interest.

"Little handsome guy who pays the bill, do you have any questions?"

"Hey, I'm thinking, this car is driving so fast and not flying, so it won't be discovered by the Muggles?"

"Of course not, Muggle eyes are no bigger than sesame seeds." Stan said contemptuously, "Muggles are like that, they never listen to them well, they don't look good, they don't believe anything." ”

Harry was still looking out the window, feeling more and more nervous. Driver Ernne doesn't seem to be skilled at mastering the steering wheel. The knight's bus was always hitting the pavement, but it couldn't hit anything; Rows of lampposts, mailboxes, and garbage cans jumped out of the way of the car as it drove by, and when it passed, it returned to its original position.

"Magic is amazing."

Harry's heart gradually relaxed. Ron on the other bed didn't think about it that much, he had always wanted to take the knight's bus, and today he finally got his wish, and the bad mood of not being able to catch the Hogwarts Express just now was immediately forgotten.

Stan brings chocolate, a thermos, and a toothbrush to the trio's bedside, then opens a copy of the Daily Prophet for everyone to read.

"Let me look at today's front page, well, it's finally the turn of the great writer Gilderoy Lockhart, and I've heard that he has been robbed of the headlines three times. Best-selling novel author Gilderoy Lockhart has announced that his new book, "I Can Magic," has sold a staggering 50,000 copies......"

Stan smirked, "That's a terrible number, it's about the number of wizards in the whole of England, and everyone has bought his new book?" The article mentions that he became a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and that he has listed all his books in the student number purchase, which I think must have been a way for him to hit his own sales. ”

Harry and Ron nodded yes, they had spent a lot of money on Lockhart's books.
