Chapter 115 Lockhart's Signing Event

Hera slapped her head violently, took out her wand and tapped Harry's eyes lightly, a silver light flashed on the glasses, and Harry found the lenses on the bridge of his nose shining like new again.

Harry opened his mouth wide, as if surprised by this.

"Okay, Harry, stop looking like an idiot, you're a wizard. Change your mindset!" Hera tapped Harry's little head with her wand.

"Oh." Harry pouted.

Immediately afterwards, a group of redheads rushed over, and they came running quickly from the crowded street.

"Harry," gasped Arthur Weasley, who was accompanied by the twins and Ron and Percy, "we hope you only missed one furnace door."

He polished his shiny bald head before noticing Hera beside Harry.

"You followed Malfoy at the Ministry of Magic that day?"

"Nice to see you again, Mr. Weasley." Hera responded rather politely, even though Arthur's attitude was far from polite.

"You too," Arthur rubbed his hand on the top of his head again, as if he was not used to such formal etiquette. "Harry, Molly is going crazy - she'll be right here."

But even so, he still didn't forget Harry, obviously he was more concerned about Harry's safety.

After all, the matter of Sirius' escape from prison was raging now, and the Ministry of Magic had sent Aurors to guard the key points early on, trying to catch Sirius back to Azkaban the moment he showed his face.

Fudge still had some means, but it was only a few days before he could arrange such a thorough plan.

"Where did you come from?" Ron asked.

Compared with Ron, the twin brothers and Percy are much colder.

But Hera is very clear that they only exist because of their own existence, but Percy hates herself because of Penello's relationship, who are the twins?

Forget it, anyway, it has nothing to do with me, anyway, they are all a bunch of annoying people.

"Mr. Weasley, go ahead, Harry will be taken care of by you first." Hera bowed slightly, he didn't want to get involved with the red-haired family.

"Oh, okay, looking forward to seeing you next time." Arthur looked a little embarrassed, he didn't even know Hera's name until now.

Hera quickly left the crowd, and he went straight to the Lihen Bookstore. According to his idea, as long as he punched a card at Lockhart's side to prove that he was here, he could return to Tulip Manor with a successful career.

Before he had gone far, he heard the twin brothers screaming loudly, and he didn't know what he was surprised at.

Hera walked towards Lihen Bookstore. The signing session hadn't officially started yet, but he was surprised to find that a lot of people were already crowded in front of the bookstore, and they all wanted to squeeze in.A large banner was pulled upstairs: Gilderoy Lockhart signed the sale of his autobiography "I Can Be Magical", 12:30-4:30 pm today
The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and Hera didn't know what to do for a while.

Lockhart obviously hasn't come yet, maybe he's waiting in the bookstore.

Hera tightened her cloak, and slipped in through the cracks. The winding line went from the door to the back of the bookstore. There was a table in front, where Lockhart should be signing books in a while.

Walking quickly into the bookstore, the bookstore is still as messy as Hera remembered it. The bookshelves are full of books, reaching to the ceiling. There are leather-bound hardcover books as big as paving slabs, and some silk-bound books with stamps laughing. Some books are filled with various strange symbols, and a few are wordless books.

Hera gently picked up a copy of Curses and Counter-Curses (Tricking Your Friends and Bewitching Your Enemies with the Latest Vengeance Art: Hair Loss, Leg Breaking, Tongue Binding, and a host of other tricks) by Professor Wendik, which Hera had read quite a few times in school.

But at that time, he could only rely on Hogwarts student subsidies, not to mention extracurricular books, and even textbooks could only be bought second-hand.

"Oh, Hera, I didn't expect you to come here so early, I thought you'd be here later!" Lockhart put his hands on his shoulders, holding Hera firmly by his side, showing off his bright teeth.

"What are you watching? "Curse and Counter-Curse"? Don't play tricks on me, I'm afraid I'll hurt you if you accidentally counterattack." Lockhart placed his hand heavily on Hera's shoulder.

"Actually, I just flipped through it." Hera put down the book, secretly planning to buy the book when she left.

Lockhart finally let go of Hera's shoulders, "Okay, let's go in and have something to eat. The signing party is very tiring. Of course, my physical strength is enough to deal with all dangerous situations. You know, I'm just worried about you."

Hera looked at Lockhart whose smile gradually distorted, and suddenly felt as if something bad was about to happen.

Following Lockhart up to the second floor of Lihen Bookstore, the staff of the bookstore cleared out a large area for Lockhart early on. A large sofa was placed in the center of the second floor, and there was a coffee table next to it, with two cups of steaming coffee on it.

There was even a bed in the corner for Lockhart to rest on.

It is enough to see Lockhart's contribution to the sales of Lihen Bookstore.

Lockhart straightened his forget-me-not flower-like blue robe, put aside the pointed wizard hat on his head, sat on the sofa and sipped his coffee.

"Taste it quickly, the coffee at Lihen Bookstore must be the purest in Diagon Alley, and ordinary people don't even know about it." Lockhart pushed another cup of coffee towards Hera.

Hera picked up the coffee on the table, felt the temperature from the cup wall, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly.

How did this fellow Lockhart drink piping hot coffee in such hot August weather?
Taking out the wand in his pocket, he tapped lightly on the cup. Seeing the slight ice formation on it, Hera smiled with satisfaction, and took a big gulp.

"Oh, trust me, you're missing out on the delicious coffee." Lockhart frowned.

"What suits you is the best, isn't it?"

"Makes sense." Lockhart laughed.

"Professor Lockhart, there seems to be about an hour before the signing. Is there anything I can do?" Hera said politely.

If Lockhart had any brains, I believe he would be able to understand Hera's subtext--I'm going to leave first if there's nothing else to do!
But Lockhart did seem to be out of his mind.

"Oh, Hera, I'm so happy, I actually need your help with something!" Lockhart excitedly grabbed Hera's arm, his big white teeth shining.
