After leaving Gringotts, Hermione could visibly sense that Harry's mood was slightly low.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked, a little worried.

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw the letter my parents left me in my family's vault, so I'm just a little sad."

Hallie whispered, "Where are we going next?" Do you want to buy a book first? ”

"I don't have a problem with that, I'd rather like to." When it came to buying books, Hermione seemed a little elated.

"Today is the date of the signing of Gilderoy Lockhart, who will sign autobiography for sale at the Blotted Bookstore.

I've been looking forward to this day for a long time! Judging by the information in the newspapers, he is really a great man! ”

"Oh, really?" Harley narrowed her eyes, "That's really exciting." ”

The door of the Blotted Bookstore was already impassable at this time.

Lockhart was sitting behind his desk with a large stack of books beside him.

Many witches over the age of forty gathered around the door of the bookstore, still holding Lockhart's books in their hands.

There are also many reporters around who are constantly taking pictures.

Obviously, Gilderoy Lockhart is one of the hottest personalities of the moment, and the major newspapers will not miss the things that can improve performance.

Hallie looked at Lockhart from afar. I have to say that he is really good-looking.

Coupled with the experience published in the newspapers, it is no wonder that so many witches adore him very much.

But Hallie always had the feeling that Lockhart seemed to have faked the experience.

After all, his skin looked better than that of many witches, and the hand holding the quill didn't look like he was fighting a lot.

And that sunny face, not at all like someone who has been living in the wild for a long time, coming into contact with dark creatures.

But it's also possible that it's because of the power of magic that he's so well maintained.

Hallie won't comment on this for the time being.

"Let's go! There are so many people, we have to wait in line for a long time! Hermione excitedly pulled Hallie and headed into the bookstore.

The two of them swiftly navigated through the crowd and soon squeezed into the bookstore.

Perhaps because Lockhart was always at the door, there weren't many people in the bookstore, only a few young wizards picking out their textbooks.

In the most prominent place in the store, there are books written by Lockhart. The photos on the book are all smiling, very glaring.

"Tsk, Professor Lockhart's textbooks are so expensive!" Harley looked at the price tag on the shelf and couldn't help but sigh.

"Professor Lockhart?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Harley suddenly remembered,

"When I was in France with Professor Dumbledore, I heard him mention that our Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this semester was Gilderoy Lockhart."

"Oh my God, really?" Hermione instantly became excited,

"I mean, we can finally have a good professor. Professor Quirrell's level is really not good, and he will only lead us to read the textbook. ”

Professor Quirrell's level is not good? Harley remembered the dead unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, and didn't comment on Hermione's opinion.

"I don't know how Headmaster Dumbledore got such a Defence Against the Dark Arts master to be our professor!"

Hermione was still there, apparently adoring Professor Lockhart's deeds.

After paying the money, Harley wanted to leave, but Hermione insisted on getting a copy of Professor Lockhart's signature

"Don't you think a book signed by the author himself is more collectible?"

Hermione was in high spirits, and Harley naturally didn't say much, so she could only nod her head and agree to accompany Hermione.

There was a long line outside the bookstore, but it didn't seem like Hallie had to wait in line.

Because Professor Lockhart saw Harley from afar, and let out a surprise cry, "Isn't this Harry Potter?" ”

Hallie couldn't help but frown. With such an exaggerated performance, it's hard to believe that he is a master!

Professor Lockhart strode over to Harley, and everyone on the way offered to give way to him, whispering excitedly.

Lockhart, it seems, wants to put his arm around Hallie's shoulder. But probably because of gender issues, I just reached out and took the initiative to shake Harley's hand.

"Miss Halle Potter, let's shake hands and have a group photo. The two of us can be on the front page tomorrow! ”

Hallie looked at the pompous man and couldn't help but want to refuse.

But seeing Hermione beside her with envious eyes, the corners of Hallie's mouth suddenly hooked up a smile.

She also took the initiative to shake Professor Lockhart's hand, but secretly used dexterity in her hands, and at the same time no longer suppressed the charisma from the witch:

"Hello, Professor Lockhart. Nice to meet you. ”

When Harley stopped suppressing her charm, Lockhart, who was closest to her, froze.

As for the crowd further afield, it was completely unaffected by Harley's subtle control of power.

And the skillful force application skills that Harley had acquired through her Assassin training were also on display at this moment.

Stuck in place and defenseless, Professor Lockhart fell directly backwards and fell to the ground under this force.

The crowd around was in an uproar, and even Harley was a little dumbfounded.

Hallie swears she really didn't mean to!

She just wanted to put a little pressure on Professor Lockhart and embarrass Professor Lockhart.

But I didn't expect Professor Lockhart to even be able to stay where he was because he couldn't even resist such a simple charisma.

After feeling the pain of the fall and Harley being disempowered, Lockhart woke up.

The moment he realized he was lying on the ground, he could even imagine in his mind the end of his career as a writer.

However, Lockhart was also a seasoned man, and immediately came up with a solution.

He laughed and stood up, patted the dust off his body, and pretended not to care:

"Don't worry, don't worry about me! In fact, I'm just making a small joke! ”

After thinking about it, Lockhart decided to release another bombshell news to divert people's attention.

"Here, I would like to make an important announcement!

I, Gilderoy Lockhart, 3rd Class of the Order of the Order of Merlin, Honorary Member of the Defence Against the Dark Arts League......"

Lockhart waved his arms and said loudly about his list of names,

“…… He will become a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this September! ”

Amid the excitement and cheers of the crowd around him, Lockhart quietly moved his feet away from Harley.

He's pompous, but not stupid. He knew that his previous performance was due to Harry's instantaneous charm.

Lockhart, on the other hand, knew better that charm was not simple magic.

So in this public, for the sake of his future money-making career, he definitely wants to stay away from Hallie.

Anyway, when he got to school, he had plenty of time to educate Miss Hallie of Gryffindor!

Watching Lockhart's exaggerated performance, Harley sighed inwardly. It looks like there's not much to learn in this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts course.
