Batman's Owl Godfather

Because the name is so straightforward, if you want to know the identity of the old wizard, you don't even need to use the word 'guess'.

Gail Green.

Gellert Grindelwald.

Did Dumbledore finally break him out of prison?

And judging from the suitcase in his hand, he might even be teaching at Hogwarts.

Thinking back to what Hermione said just now, this is what Dumbledore is busy with this summer.

However, at this moment Bruce suddenly raised his head and said——

"What happened to the wizard?"

Um?

Katum was confused. With such obvious clues, why didn't Bruce recognize who the other party was?

Impossible!

Bruce has read the history of magic and is very familiar with Grindelwald's deeds.

Bruce should be able to recognize the famous heterochromatic eyes, the barely concealed name, and the temperament that is different from ordinary wizards at first sight.

But the result was no.

When did Batboy's reasoning skills become so bad?

So the owl asked: "When you saw that person's name, you didn't think of him?"

Bruce shook his head: "No, but looking at the suitcase, he should be a professor at Hogwarts.

"But it's nothing surprising. Hogwarts has faculty changes every year."

Last year's Two-Face Quirrell has been successfully promoted to Azkaban this year.

Maybe this old wizard is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Judging from his age, he should have some experience in how to defend against dark magic.

Katum nodded, and from Bruce's tone, he probably guessed what was going on.

It seems that Grindelwald did not make any disguise, he must have cast a spell on his name so that others would not be aware of his identity.

As for why Katum was not affected?

Very simple.

Because owls are not people.

…

The queue of people gradually moved forward, and they saw Gilderoy Lockhart.

He sat behind a desk, surrounded by large photographs of himself, faces winking at the crowd, flashing dazzlingly white teeth.

This is a very charming man. Bruce can vaguely see the grandmothers, aunts, sisters and sisters around him, with pink hearts sprouting from their heads.

Not even Hermione and Mrs. Weasley.

Bruce's vigilance suddenly rose.

Not simple, this man is anything but simple.

Able to attract women of all ages indiscriminately, it is difficult for Bruce not to think of the legendary succubus.

A grumpy little man held up a large black camera and jumped back and forth taking pictures.

Miraculously, every time the flash came on, Lockhart could face the camera and show a perfect smile.

"Isn't this Harry Potter!"

Suddenly, Lockhart spotted Harry among the crowd.

He rushed forward, grabbed Harry's arm, and pulled him forward, and the audience burst into applause.

The legendary Boy Who Lived was actually a fan of his, which made him extremely satisfied, and he pulled Harry to take several photos before giving up.

There was a cold snort from the second floor. Bruce looked up and found that it was Malfoy.

He looked a little haggard at this time. He was obviously only twelve years old, but he seemed to be stained with countless troubles.

It seems that the resurrection of Slytherin and Voldemort gave their family a headache all summer long.

Katum also spotted Malfoy and said, "Brother Drag, why are you unhappy again?"

"Maybe he's jealous of Harry's fame," Bruce said casually.

At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.

Lockhart just announced the big news that he will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts this year.

Lockhart would be a teacher, Bruce already knew that, because there were seven more books on the Hogwarts textbook list this year.

"Breaking with the Female Ghost", "Traveling with the Ghouls", "Holiday with the Dominatrix"...

It's all Lockhart's autobiography!

I just didn't expect it to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Bruce was holding a book in his hand, "Wandering with Werewolves". After opening it, the words inside made him frown.

If you talk about the content alone, it is indeed valuable, especially the incisive analysis of various monsters and the methods of dealing with them, both of which are accurate and efficient.

However, in addition to these dry facts, almost every page in the book is filled with Lockhart's endless praise and self-beautification of himself.

Bruce was not a fan of Lockhart, so it was a bit uncomfortable to watch.

He closed the book, but Katum on his shoulder shouted——

"Don't close it, I was just enjoying it!"

"Can you continue reading this kind of book?" Bruce asked.

"Is there anything I can't read?"

Katum said indifferently, "Can't you just pretend to be Lockhart?"

Bruce had no choice but to hand the book to Katum. The owl opened the book on his shoulder and read it with interest.

"What's going on with this Lockhart?"

Bruce felt like he couldn't see through this person.

It seems like a waste, but what he wrote is very valuable.

Bruce rubbed his eyes, doubting the way he looked at people.

"Can't you understand?"

The owl turned the page and said without raising his head, "Lockhart will be a good teacher. You will learn extremely important skills from him."

"What skills?" Bruce asked.

"How to weave a character."

...

After the book signing, a small friction broke out in Flourish and Blotts.

Malfoy and Harry had a conflict, and then the conflict spread to Ron's sister, Ginny.

The conflict continued to escalate until the adults on both sides left.

Malfoy's father, Lucius, took Ginny's Transfiguration textbook and mocked their family for being the scum of wizards and deserved to be poor.

This sentence was obviously too much.

Ginny's father, Arthur, directly fought with him.

When Hagrid pulled the two apart, Mr. Weasley's lip was already broken, and one of Mr. Malfoy's eyes was swollen by the book.

At this time, in Lucius's hand, he still held the textbook he had just taken from Ginny.

He threw the book into Ginny's cauldron as if nothing had happened, and finally left a mocking sentence and left with his son.

Katum was watching from the side.

He was curious whether Voldemort would find the Malfoys and take the diary after his resurrection.

Now it seems that he will not, maybe he just can't find the opportunity.

There is still one more diary in Ginny's cauldron.

"Voldemort, Voldemort, it's your blessing to have a subordinate like Malfoy."

Katoum turned his head and looked at the other side of the bookstore, where Grindelwald was selecting textbooks and had never paid attention to this conflict from beginning to end.

"Go!"

Katoum quietly waved his wings, and Voldemort's diary disappeared from the crucible.

Instead, there was something more in Grindelwald's suitcase.

"Tom, don't thank me."

Katoum said contentedly, "Your greater blessing is still to come!"
