Gilderoy Lockhart, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in Harry Potter's second year, didn't know why Dumbledore came to him, but since he was the one Dumbledore had come to, he was still trustworthy, so he went with him. Like Quirinus Quirrell, he will definitely be a good man with a story.
With blond curly hair, a bright smile, and neat white teeth, if Quirinus Quirrell is the kind of character that everyone hates, then Gilderoy Lockhart is the standard for a big star. When he smiles When they got up, all the witches present screamed.
That perfect confident smile says just what he is.
"Thank goodness Harry we all hope you just went to the further fireplace."
Mrs. Weasley was a little surprised to see Harry Potter walk into the bookstore cleanly. Just now, the family entered Diagon Alley through the fireplace, and sure enough, Harry Potter was not found. Molly immediately asked Arthur to go out to search, and took all the things with him. The child starts shopping.
Unexpectedly, there will be a signing of Gilderoy Lockhart's new book "Amazing Me" at Flourish and Blott Bookstore today, and the textbook for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is the complete autobiography of Gilderoy Lockhart.
As a love interest for women of all ages, Gilderoy Lockhart puts all male wizards to shame, and there are almost no adult men present in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
Compared to Harry Potter who is clean and tidy, the Weasley family is much more embarrassed. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as disgraced. However, this situation is seen many times in the wizarding world. This is the result of using the cheapest Floo powder. .
When Hagrid, Hermione and Harry Potter walked into Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, Gilderoy Lockhart, who was preparing to sign books at the back of the bookstore, spotted little Harry at a glance and immediately signaled to follow him. The Daily Prophet reporter who came to take pictures brought Harry Potter with him.
"Smile bigger Harry Potter and our picture will be on the front page."
Gilderoy Lockhart was experienced in reminding Harry Potter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is really an extraordinary moment. Harry Potter came to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore today to buy my autobiography. By the way, this book happened to be on the Daily Prophet's bestseller list. At the top of the list for week 27, Harry Potter would never have thought, nor would he believe, that he would get the entire set of my books, completely free of charge.”
Gilderoy Lockhart motioned to his assistant to take a set of autobiographies, and then gave it to Harry Potter. All of this was to promote his books. With Harry Potter present, the advertising effect was definitely better than a set of autobiographies. Books have value.
"Now, ladies... let's start the book signing."
After taking pictures and delivering books, Harry Potter, who had no use value, was pushed aside by Gilderoy Lockhart. He sat down and started the book signing activity. Don't underestimate the book signing activity. You have not practiced it. People will never be able to persist.
Molly asked the children to leave their books for autographs and asked several children to wait at the door of the bookstore with Harry Potter.
"I think you must have a lot of fun! Potter, the famous Harry Potter can even be on the front page of a bookstore."
Draco had been watching everything silently from the upstairs of the bookstore. He was jealous of Harry Potter's fame and came downstairs to intercept him.
"Stay away from him and stop bothering him."
What was originally going to be said by Ginny, ended up being said by Ron. Ginny didn't seem to like Harry Potter as much as she did before. The reason was still about the sorting.
"Isn't this Ron, Harry Potter's knight? What! Does it show loyalty to Harry Potter?"
Draco turned his head and spat Ron's face again.
"Stop it! Draco, be nice."
A silver snake-headed cane appeared on the platinum young master's shoulder. Draco Malfoy's father, Lucius Malfoy, appeared in neat black clothes. His aristocratic style suppressed the hearts of the Weasley children, making him They were speechless.
"Harry Potter, I am Lucius Malfoy, and I finally meet you."
Lucius Malfoy pulled Harry Potter over by hand. The snake staff gently parted Harry Potter's hair, revealing the lightning scar on the right forehead, and then joked.
"Your scar is a legend. It was left to you by a wizard."
"Voldemort killed my parents. He is just a murderer and nothing special."
Harry Potter said stubbornly that he hated this guy from the bottom of his heart who regarded his scar as an honor bestowed by Voldemort.
"If you dare to call him by his name, you are either very bold or very stupid."
Lucius was a little unhappy when Harry Potter choked him like that, but he still had to maintain aristocratic etiquette.
"Don't dare to call the other person by their name, it will only deepen your fear."
Hermione couldn't stand what Lucius said, so she directly interjected.
"You should be Miss Granger! That's right. Draco told me about you and your parents. They are both Muggles, aren't they?"
Lucius Malfoy's contempt was obvious. You, a young wizard from a Muggle family, have any qualifications to challenge me, a wizard from a noble family. Hermione was immediately choked and speechless.
"Let me think about it, with red hair, a stupid face, and tattered second-hand books, you should be the Weasley family."
Lucius Malfoy picked up the books in the barrel that Ginny was carrying, pretended to read through them, and then taunted him so hard that the Weasley children were speechless.
"Kids, it's a bit messy here, let's get out!"
After Arthur Weasley looked for Harry Potter outside, he was finally brought back to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore under the spell of 'Show me the way'. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Lucius Malfoy's words, Thinking of the nine raids he made on the Malfoy family last night, Arthur Weasley thought that children should not be involved in adult affairs.
"Isn't this Arthur Weasley! The Ministry of Magic must have been very busy last night! There were so many surprise inspections. I hope they paid you overtime, but judging from your current appearance, they probably didn't. If the Ministry of Magic If you can't even pay a decent salary, why would you insult the wizard's reputation?"
Being harassed nine times in one night, Lucius Malfoy couldn't even sleep well. Lucius Malfoy had been holding in his anger all night and had no place to put it. Just now, he only gave small punishments and big warnings to the Weasley children. Now, now When the real master came in front of him, Lucius Malfoy felt his blood boiling.
"Malfoy! I think we have different opinions on insulting the reputation of wizards."
Arthur Weasley was not afraid of Lucius Malfoy, otherwise he would not have been persuaded by Regulus Black to raid Malfoy Manor nine times in one night.
"Associating with Muggles, I think your family is really degenerate to the extreme."
Lucius Malfoy suppressed his emotions and threw Ginny's old books into the bucket together with a book.
Feeling that my heart was beating faster, I finally transferred this hot diary, and it was transferred to the Weasley family. Let's wait and see the good show later!
'Arthur Weasley you will pay for your actions. '
Lucius Malfoy smiled proudly in his heart, while maintaining an angry but restrained expression on the outside.
"See you at work!"
Lucius Malfoy and Arthur Weasley both work in the Ministry of Magic. The so-called meeting at work means waiting to give each other a stumbling block, and it means meeting them at work.
At this time, Regulus Black walked into Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. He had just finished dealing with the two fallen wizards and rushed over, just in time to see Lucius Malfoy turning to leave.
The two passed by each other, and Regulus Black came directly to Ginny and took out the black notebook from her barrel.
"Isn't this what I've been looking for, Tom Riddle's diary! Thank you, Arthur, for helping me find it."
Regulus Black picked up Tom Riddle's diary, thanked Arthur, and put the diary into the system space. As long as it was put into his own system space, no one could take it away.
Lucius Malfoy, who had already reached the door, stopped, with a shocked expression on his face. He stiffly turned his head to look at Regulus Black, but could not say a word.
