After the photo shoot, Lockhart then announced to everyone that he would soon be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts......

"Whether it's Harry Potter or his classmates, they will all get a real, magical me when Hogwarts starts on September 1st!"

The crowd applauded and cheered.

A few middle-aged wizards who didn't know if they were fans or Tuo even cried excitedly.

It seemed that as long as Lockhart went to Hogwarts, the students would be safe.

As long as Lockhart went...... The curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts class is gone!

In the midst of the cheers, Harry suddenly felt his arm sink, and when he looked down, he realized that he had actually obtained the complete set of Gilderoy Lockhart's books, and he walked a little shaky.

But the good news is that he doesn't have to stay here anymore.

Harry struggled out of the center of attention and onto the wall.

Kyle was chatting with Ginny right here.

"Here's what you're ...... I'll buy it myself. Harry poured the book into Ginny's new cauldron, then looked at Kyle and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you just go?" ”

"Oh, I saw you guys had a good chat, so I'm going to buy other textbooks first." Kyle gestured to a stack of books on the long table next to him.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, when Lockhart called Harry's name just now, he took the opportunity to sneak into the crowd.

Originally, I wanted to hide from Lockhart, but I didn't expect to dodge Harry's backstab by accident......

This old boy is learning too badly now.

"Is there anything you're looking for me?" Kyle asked, his face unchanged.

"No, nothing!"

Harry was stunned by the thick stack of books, and he counted seventeen in all.

Although he knew that there would be two more electives in the third year, this was too exaggerated.

"It's just two more classes...... Need to buy so many books? Harry asked with difficulty.

"Normally, I don't need to, but I take a bit more classes."

Kyle explained, "And the Ancient Runifin only needs five, plus seven copies of Defence Against the Dark Arts, and these two courses alone account for two-thirds. ”

"Ancient Runiwen...... Harry swore to himself that he would never take this unfriendly course next year.

After a brief conversation, Kyle took the book to the counter to check out.

Because of the book signing, most of the clerks of the Blott Bookstore were transferred to Lockhart's side, and a one-stop service of book selection, signing, and checkout was opened.

But this is only for Lockhart's books, and the rest of the books still have to be checked out at the counter.

With a small staff, and a lot of people in the store as school started as school approached, Kyle waited in line for a long time to finally pay.

When he returned with his book, he found Mr. Weasley confronting a middle-aged man with blonde hair.

His face was very ugly, and his whole person was extremely serious.

"If you're not afraid to check, as you say, why sneak around and go to Tumble Alley."

"Speak with evidence, Weasley." Lucius Malfond said in a long voice, "I just brought Draco to the Blotted Bookstore to buy his textbooks for next year, and I've never been to Tumbledown Alley." ”

"It's you...... After so many inspections before, they must have paid you overtime. ”

Lucius Malfoy reached into Ginny's cauldron and pulled out a tattered copy of the Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration.

"I'm afraid that as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no ......

If you can't even get a good pay, what's the benefit of being a scum among wizards? ”

Mr. Weasley's face was redder than Harry, who had been on the stage earlier.

"It seems that our understanding of "scum" is very different, Malfoy. He said.

"Apparently so." Lucius Malfoy said.

His eyes rolled, and his gaze fell on the Grangers who were watching them with fear,

"Look at the friends you've made...... Hang out with Muggles, Weasley, I thought your family had fallen to the limit. ”

With a thud, Ginny's cauldron flew out.

Because it happened so quickly, Kyle didn't even know if Mr. Weasley threw it or if Ginny threw it herself.

But it didn't matter anymore, the crucible was like a fuse that lit the barrel of explosives, and the scene was chaotic in an instant.

Lucius Malfoy dodged the cauldron just in time, but was knocked into a bookshelf by Mr. Weasley, who followed.

Dozens of thick spell books fell, directly smashing him into a daze.

"How dare you hit me!" Lucius scrambled to his feet, took the snake cane in his hand, and smashed it at Mr. Weasley.

But in the next second, a big hand grabbed his arm.

Hagrid strode over with a book on the floor, pulling him up in the blink of an eye.

Lucius Malfoy didn't seem ready to give up, but he couldn't break free of Hagrid's grasp, and could only glare at Mr. Weasley viciously.

"It's not over!"

"Let's go, Draco......"

Lucius shook Hagrid off and turned to walk out the door.

As he passed by the cauldron, his eyes gleamed with viciousness, and he turned his back to everyone and threw the "Beginner's Transfiguration Guide" that he had been holding in his hand.

"No, little girl, put away your books...... It's the best your dad can give you! ”

With that, he left the Blotted Bookstore with Draco Malfoy.

"Thankfully, Kyle called me over."

Hagrid reached out to smooth Mr. Weasley's robe, nearly lifting him up. "You shouldn't pay attention to him, Arthur. That guy is terrible, and there is no good person in the whole family...... Their words are simply not worth hearing. ”

Mr. Weasley did not speak.

The cauldron had been thrown by Ginny, so he had to do it just now so that everyone's eyes could be focused on him.

And to be honest, he's always wanted to do it...... After beating Malfoy, he immediately felt refreshed.

It's like drinking a hot butterbeer in winter, and the whole body is indescribably comfortable.

Hagrid straightened Mr. Weasley's robes and led the group out of the Blotted Bookstore.

"Let's go, let's get out!"

The clerk seemed to be trying to stop Mr. Weasley, but the tallest of them was just up to Hagrid's waist, so he didn't dare to make a mistake.

As they walked down the street, the Granger couple shivered with fear, and Hermione comforted them.

Mrs. Weasley was still angry about what had just happened.

"Good head for the kids...... Fight in public...... What would Gilderoy Lockhart think......"

"He's happy!" "He also asked the Daily Prophet if he could include the fight in the story......
