Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 117 Malfoy and Weasley's Enmity

"What are you doing?" The short photographer struggled to spit out a few words, "Do you know who I am? I'm a contract photographer for the Daily Prophet, you know me."

"I don't know, but I don't care either." Hera let go of the photographer's arm.

"You—how dare you, you know, even that fellow Lockhart will treat me too." The photographer rubbed the throat that had been rubbed by Hera, breathing hard.

"I'm not that idiot Lockhart," Hera pouted indifferently, and then broke something with her knee as if nothing had happened.

"The one in your hand—" The photographer looked at the small wooden stick that Hera casually threw on the ground with a look of horror.

That.
Isn't that a magic wand?

He reached into his pocket hastily. It was empty, and he clearly remembered he had kept his wand in it.

"That's right, it's your wand." Hera showed a pretty handsome smile.

The short man sat down on the ground and tried to pick up the shattered wand, but was crushed hard by a foot.

"Do you know what you're doing? The Ministry of Magic will definitely not let you go!" The man clasped his hands, trying to move Hera's feet away, while shouting angrily.

Hera shook her head lightly, put a finger up in front of her red lips, and said softly, "Shh! Look where this is?"

"Here it is." The man looked at the surrounding environment in horror, his facial features almost fled in fear.

An old wooden street sign in front of a shop selling poisoned candles told him this was Knockturn Alley.

It was obviously useful, he knew exactly where Knockturn Alley was - even in normal times he would be able to avoid a couple of streets, and that was when he had his wand.

Now that he didn't even have a wand, he could almost imagine what was going on with him.

"Enjoy a wonderful afternoon." Hera bowed slightly, and gracefully reached out to the old witch who had come over at some point beside her, "Please go ahead, ma'am."

"Jie Jie Jie, can't you get lost, child?" The old witch stood beside Hera, showing a creepy smile at the short man. She was holding a plate that looked like a whole piece of dead man's fingernails, and she also tilted it, showing her mossy teeth.

Although the man kept scurrying back, the witch approached even faster.

"What a beautiful day, isn't it? My dear big photographer!" Hera read out the last few words forcefully, and then her figure shook and she disapparated!

He wasn't interested in admiring how the old witch was 'having fun'.

Apparating to the corner of Lihen Bookstore, everyone's attention was fixed on Harry and Lockhart at the door of the bookstore.

"It's not too late."

Lockhart is announcing that he will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The crowd was applauding and cheering, and Lockhart put a tall stack of books in Harry's hands, so heavy that Harry staggered a little when he walked.

Harry managed to get out of the center of public attention and to the wall—just where Hera was.

"It seems that the harvest is good." Hera raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't like Lockhart very much, it didn't affect the sales of Lockhart's book in the market, especially his signed edition, whose price was several times higher.

"Ha, don't make fun of me." Harry poured the book into the cauldron of a little red-haired girl next to her, and said vaguely to her, "Here are these for you, and I'll buy them myself—"

Hera hugged her shoulders, and couldn't help but have a slightly higher opinion of Harry in her heart.

good!Knowing how to pick up girls at such a young age, the young man has a bright future!
"You must like it, Potter?"

While Hera was still admiring Harry's actions, a voice that no one present could hear suddenly sounded beside him.

Harry suddenly straightened his back, where is the look that was about to be crushed by the book just now?
He met Draco face to face, and Draco had his usual sarcastic grin on his face.

"Ha, what a boring little brat." Hera snorted softly. He was not interested in getting involved in the children's play, and retreated a few steps along the wall.

"The famous Harry Potter," said Malfoy, "could not even go into a bookstore without being front-page news."

"Don't talk nonsense, he doesn't want that!" retorted the red-haired girl, glaring at Draco, and those who didn't know thought she was mocking her.

"Potter, have you found a girlfriend?" Draco drawled, the little girl blushed, and Ron and Hermione crowded over.

In fact, Hera felt that Draco was jealous, jealous of the little girl.

"Oh, it's you." Ron looked at Malfoy as if he saw something disgusting on the sole of his shoe. "You must be surprised to see Harry here, huh?"

"What surprised me even more was that I saw you also enter the store, Weasley." Malfoy retorted, with the air of one against four, "I guess, in order to buy those things, your parents must be hungry?"

Hera frowned, and had to say that Lucius was a little too spoiled for him. Such a tutor is really tarnishing the reputation of the Malfoy family, so it's better to hurry up and have another one.

At least while I was still young.

Immediately afterwards, Ron rushed directly at Draco, and Harry and Hermione grabbed him tightly from behind.

"Ron!" Arthur also squeezed from the side, with the twin brothers behind him, "What are you doing? Everyone here is crazy, let's get out."

"Ahhhh - Arthur Weasley, my old friend." Lucius' voice just arrived, and he put a hand on Draco's shoulder, and the father and son had the same sneer.

"I heard that the man is very busy with business," Lucius said, reaching into the little girl's cauldron, and pulled out a tattered copy of "A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" from among the new Lockhart's books. "My God, I have worked so hard, but I can't even get a good reward. You think, what good is being a scum among wizards?"

Arthur blushed even more than the children beside him.

Hera yawned and left here. He didn't want to get involved in the matter between Weasley and Malfoy. It's been a few years, and it's obviously not something that can be easily resolved.

Moreover, Mr. Bogin said that the Ministry of Magic has recently stepped up its search for magical items, and Arthur Weasley is obviously a typical example of using power for personal gain, so he will definitely focus on ensuring that there are no dark magic items hidden in Malfoy Manor.

Come to think of it, that was enough to annoy Lucius.

Hera hadn't gone far when she heard the sound of people turning their backs on their backs.
