MTL - Harry Potter’s Book of Sin-Chapter 52 Cold start

Time passed day by day, and the crises lurking in the dark would remain undetected for the time being.

The relaxed and free summer vacation was like a refreshing breeze, which quietly smoothed out the critical events of the last semester without leaving too many waves.

Everything seems calm, but no one knows how many undercurrents are entangled in this calm.

No matter what, Hogwarts was about to start school.

On the eve of school, Diagon Alley has always been quite lively, because most students need to come here to buy what they need for the new semester.

At this time, Lichen Bookstore was crowded and overcrowded. It's all because of the magic star writer named "Gidro Lockhart".

"We can meet him in person!" Hermione cried. "I mean, he wrote almost all the books on the list!"

Although most of the crowd are middle-aged women, it is obvious that the charm of this Mr. Lockhart is also very useful in the circle of little girls.

Harry, Ron and Hermione got into the gap.

A long line has been lined up inside the bookstore, stretching all the way to the street outside the door. They each grabbed a book for sale and sneaked into the Weasleys and Grangers lined up.

Just outside the gate of Lichen Bookstore, there is a large banner hanging on it. The line above is not only bright and eye-catching, but it will also move-autographed and sold autobiography "I Can Know Magic" by Gidro Lockhart Today 12: 30-16: 30 pm.

哦 "Oh, you are here, great!" Said Mrs. Weasley.

She was short of breath, stroking her hair constantly, trying to smooth them out, "We'll see him in a while ..."

As the team moved forward, they finally saw the protagonist of Lichen Bookstore today.

坐在 He was sitting behind the table, surrounded by pictures of different sizes, all those faces in the photo were blinking at the crowd, showing their bright white teeth.

The nagging and real Lockhart wore a blue robe as forget-me-nots—just matching his blue eyes, and a pointed wizard hat was playfully crooked over a curled curl.

In front of him, there was also a short man with a camera. He was jumping around constantly, looking for pictures from various angles. The flash was almost connected, and a stream of purple smoke kept coming out of the camera.

"Flick off," the short man was obviously not very temperamental. He shouted at Ron, who blocked his angle, and took a few steps back to choose a better angle.

"It's amazing." Ron lifted his feet in the crowd, rubbing his sore back.

Lockhart apparently heard this sentence. He looked up, first looking at Ron, but immediately saw Harry. Suddenly his eyes lightened suddenly, and he said happily, "Isn't this Harry Potter?"

The crowd gave way, and in the whispers of the crowd, Lockhart rushed to hold Harry's hand and dragged him to the front.

来 "Come here, take a few pictures of us," Lockhart revealed his neat white teeth, "Gidro Lockhart and Harry Potter, this must be the front page headline!"

There was a burst of applause from the audience, but Harry was flushed with the scene.

他 When he finally let go of Harry's hand, Harry felt that he had pinched his fingers. He wanted to slip back to the Weasleys, but Crohat's arm rested on his shoulder, holding him firmly around him.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Lockhart said loudly, waving his hand to keep everyone quiet, "What an unusual moment! I'm going to announce a little thing on this wonderful occasion, and I've been holding it down for a while Never said ... "

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lockhart made it clear that he was going to Hogwarts to be a teacher of the black magic defense class.

Suddenly, the applause of the crowd became even more heated.

In the crowd behind him, two little wizards were crowding out from the crowd. Hermione, who happened to hear Mrs. Weasley's words, turned her back and glanced inadvertently.

"That's ... Maca?" Hermione said in surprise, "Who is the girl he's pulling?"

She looked back and pulled Ron in front, but when she looked back, people had disappeared into the crowd.

"Maca? Where is it?" Ron tiptoed and looked around, then wondered, "Did you read that wrong? So many people ..."

Hermione peeked into her head for a while and finally shook her head. "I don't know ... is it possible?"

In fact, Hermione could see clearly. The Maca she saw just made her a little skeptical-she wondered if she was really wrong.

不 "No, Maca's eyes will be softer, it won't be like that ..." Hermione muttered softly, "It won't be so cold."

而且 "And who is the girl with light blond hair next to him? It looks weird."

She thought about it and shook her head again, "Maybe I really read it wrong?"

Hermione was pondering, but heard a nasty voice coming from behind.

"You must like it, Potter?" It was Draco Malfoy, who had the usual mocking smile on his face.

"Famous Harry Potter!" Said Malfoy, "even entering a bookstore will be front page news."

别 "Don't talk nonsense, he doesn't want that!" Ginny standing next to Harry said loudly.

This is the first time she has spoken in front of Harry, usually speaking shyly.

"Porter-you're finding a girlfriend-" Malfoy said in a long tone.

Ginny's face turned red all of a sudden.

Ron and Hermione behind him pressed together, each holding a stack of Lockhart's books, separating her from Malfoy.

Ginny is the baby of Weasley's family. Malfoy dared to bully her, so Ron naturally stopped buying it. He and Malfoy despised each other, and you sneered at each other ironically.

After a short while, Ron was so anxious that he rushed forward and punched Malfoy's face with two punches. Harry and Hermione quickly pulled his clothes back and swung them.

"Ron!" Mr. Weasley pushed Fred and George over. "What are you doing? People here are crazy, let's go out—"

哎 "Oops-Arthur Weasley."

Just as Mr. Weasley tried to pull the children out, the crowd behind Malfoy came out alone.

"Lucius." Mr. Weasley looked at him coldly and nodded slightly.

That was Lucius Malfoy. He put one hand on Draco's shoulder, and the smirk on the faces of the father and son was exactly the same.

听说 "I heard that my official business is very busy!" Mr. Malfoy said, "So many checks ... I think they paid you overtime?"

伸 He reached into Ginny's crucible and extracted a tattered "Beginner's Guide to Metamorphosis" from the brand-new and bright Lockhart's work.

"Huh, it doesn't look like it. My God--if you can't even get a good pay, what's the benefit of being a scum in a wizard?" Mr. Weasley's face suddenly turned over Ron and King. Ni Hong is pretty good.

"We have very different views on what a scum among wizards is, Malfoy!" He said indignantly.

当然 "Of course!" Lucius said with a raised expression of disdain.

He turned his light-colored eyes, and his eyes fell on the Grangers who were looking at them timidly.

看看 "Look at your friends, Weasley ... I thought your family had fallen to the limit?"

Mr. Weasley pounced on Mr. Malfoy, bumped him into a bookshelf, and dozens of thick spell books fell on them, even Ginny's crucible was flew out, making a loud noise.

The twin brothers Fred and George shouted "Shit him, Dad!" And so on, while Mrs. Weasley screamed, "Don't do this, Arthur, don't do this!"

The crowd retreated in panic, knocking down more bookshelves, causing the clerks to have a bitter face.

At this moment, a loud voice over all the voices.

"Fans out, gentlemen, all out!"

That was Hagrid, and he strode over the books all over the floor, and in a blink he pulled Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy apart. One eye was smashed by a thick book, and Ginny's shabby deformity textbook was still in his hands.

Ginny next to the puppet had picked up the crucible, and Lucius saw that, and shoved the book into her crucible with a vicious light in his eyes.

"Well, little girl-hold your book! This is the best thing your dad can give you." He broke Hagrid's arm and waved to Draco, rushing out without looking back. Store door.

"You shouldn't ignore him, Arthur," Hagrid reached out and smoothed Mr. Weasley's robe, but he almost lifted him up.

"This guy is so bad, their whole family is, everyone knows-Malfoy's words are not worth listening to! The blood on them is bad, that's what happened. Let's go out."

The clerk on his side seemed to want to stop them from claiming, but in terms of Hagrid's physique, most people really didn't dare to stop him casually. After a while, they went out of the store, leaving a clerk there who was crying and staring at each other.

They walked quickly to the street. Hermione's parents were ordinary Muggles. They were shaking with fear now, and Madam Weasley next to her was mad.

"Good head for the kids! Fight in public? What would Gidro Lockhart think-"

"He's happy," said Fred. "Did you not hear when we came out? He asked the guy in the Daily Prophet if he could include the fight in the report! He said it could cause a sensation ... ... "

And in the flow of people not far from them, a teenager was looking indifferently there, a pair of deep black eyes staring at Ginny's crucible intentionally or unintentionally-exactly, a book in the crucible Black wrapper diary.
