Lupin's magical attainments are very deep, and in the eyes of many people, he has some dead hearts, but this just shows that Lupin is very determined, otherwise how can he persist in such an environment.

Many details of magic-related knowledge are not usually described in detail in books, and Locke was able to fill in many details by consulting Lupin.

Locke can't go to Dumbledore for advice on some minor issues, and as for the other professors at Hogwarts, it also depends on whether the other party is in a good mood or has a good relationship, otherwise Dumbledore's face will not be good.

Now that Locke, as Lupin's employer, has been even more helpful in Lupin's eyes, asking him some magic questions, and there is no problem at all.

Lupin was very good at the advanced Transfiguration of Animagus, and he may not be willing to tell Locke about the dark arts, but he also didn't mind telling Locke about Transfiguration in detail.

"Teacher, let's go out for a walk." On this day, Hermione said to Locke with some anticipation: "School is about to start, and some things that need to be used are still ready." ”

"Okay!" Looking at Hermione's expectant eyes, Locke smiled and nodded, most of the holiday, Hermione was either learning magic or refining potions, and she really should go out for a walk.

"No problem, since you're in the second grade, why don't you prepare a broomstick, we can see if there is one you like." Locke proposed.

"No need teacher, I don't like broomsticks very much." Hermione shook her head.

Locke nodded, and did not persuade, the broom is very popular in the wizarding world, and the young wizard at this age regards a good broom as a popular fashion, but it seems that Hermione does not have a cold very much.

He actually tried the flying broom, and it was not as uncomfortable as some netizens ridiculed, the magic on the broom will form an invisible cushion like a seat, and it is the same as a general seat when sitting up, and Locke doesn't like it mainly because it doesn't feel like it is in line with his personal aesthetics.

"Then wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes." Seeing that Locke agreed, Hermione happily ran back to her room with Locke.

As they got more familiar, Hermione would stay overnight at Locke's from time to time, and the Granger couple would pay attention at first, but gradually they didn't care.

Maybe once when she put it on, she noticed that Locke looked at it for a while, when she lived on Locke's side, she often wore white pantyhose, but when she was outside, she would change into other clothes.

As school began to start, many young wizards came with their families to buy items for the new school year, and Hermione was wearing a wizard's robe, although she maintained her demeanor, her face was full of joy and excitement that was visible to the naked eye.

The two of them first went to walk around Diagon Alley before finally coming to the Blotted Bookstore, but when they arrived near the bookstore, they found that there was a riot in the bookstore and there was a fight.

"That's Harry and Ron." Hermione quickly recognized one of them, and subconsciously took out her wand.

"Just leave it to me." Locke held Hermione down and told her to put her wand away, the Ministry of Magic didn't allow wizards to use magic duels in Diagon Alley, Hermione was too conspicuous with her wand.

When Hermione put away her wand, Locke moved with a silent spell and stood up, and Lucius Malfoy, who was fighting with Ron's father Arthur, was imprisoned, and then punched several times by Arthur.

The next thing he noticed was that Lucius was under control, Arthur stopped, and Lucius looked around now, but he didn't find who was using the magic, and finally could only stare at Arthur with hateful eyes:

"Looks like you've found a good helper, and you won't be so lucky next time!"

"Harry, Ron." At this time, Hermione came over and said hello to Harry, and Lucius noticed that Hermione and Locke were with her.

"Who are you?" Lucius glanced at Locke, who had just appeared, and placed the object of suspicion on him.

"Rock Lee, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lucius Malfoy." Locke greeted the other party as if he was completely fine: "Fighting in the street doesn't seem to be quite in line with the nobility and elegance of the pure-blood family's mouth. ”

"Rock Lee?!" Lucius was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was such a wizard who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and was very active in recent times, and it was said that he had a good relationship with Dumbledore, and it was rumored that he was the descendant of Dumbledore's friends.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Lucius probably guessed that it was most likely Locke who secretly used a confinement spell on him just now, which made his eyes look at Locke with a little fierceness.

The contradiction between him and Locke is not only that Locke secretly used the Imprisonment Charm just now, but the key is that Locke contracted the materials for the dragon training field.

Since then, the prices of various materials related to dragons have increased, and the price marked in the store may not have increased much, but it still caused many wizards to panic and rush to buy it.

Especially in this process, Locke himself has hoarded a large number of materials as reserves, and the materials that are used for circulation on the market are actually only half of the original, so the prices of many materials have been speculated to two or three times as much as before.

A large part of the Malfoy family's business is related to fire dragon materials, but because of Locke's actions, the family's income has also decreased a lot.

There is also the fact that Locke donated a large sum of money to Hogwarts, so that the Malfoy family's plan to use the financial problem to force Dumbledore to give up more power failed.

It can be said that although the two sides have not met before, the hatred has actually been settled, and Locke, who is familiar with the plot and the business relationship of various magic families, also understands this, so he did not hesitate to help Arthur just now.

In this situation, Lucius knew that he had just taken out his wand in public, after all, he couldn't take out his wand in public at this time.

Before leaving, though, Lucius glanced at Locke, "It's not a good choice to go against a pure-blood family, Mr. Locke. ”

Raising his eyebrows, Locke didn't say anything, he knew that the Malfoy family was lobbying the Ministry of Magic recently because of the matter of the materials of the dragon training field, but Locke has Dumbledore's platform here, and the trade contract is not small for the dragon training field, if you want the Ministry of Magic to make a move, Malfoy's white teeth are not enough.

In the wizarding world, pure-blood families occupy too many interests, and Locke's actions will inevitably touch the interests of these pure-blood families, so the hostility between the two sides has long been expected by Locke.

Whether it is the world of ordinary people or the world of wizards, interests are always the most driving thing, and as long as the interests are big enough, it is not unimaginable for all wizards to gather together to attack Voldemort.
