Hogwarts snake in the mist

"What's wrong with your glasses?" Harry's glasses lenses had cracks again and were stained with dust. Hermione took out her wand to make Harry's glasses intact.

"It's great to see you three again. Harry, are you going to Gringotts?"

"I'll go after I find the Weasleys," Harry said.

Harry and Hermione looked around. Eric lowered his head and placed the Five Poison Talisman better, trying not to let others see the strangeness in his clothes.Ron, Fred, George, Percy and Mr. Weasley came running down the street.

"Harry, we finally found you. I hope you just missed a unit door." Mr. Weasley wiped the sweat from his head. "Molly has been looking for you and she's going crazy."

"Where did you come from?" Ron asked curiously.

"He came out of Knockturn Alley, where Eric also came out." Hagrid said with a straight face, very dissatisfied with Harry entering Knockturn Alley.

"That's great," Fred and George shouted in unison. "Our parents never let us in." Ron was equally excited.

At this time, Mrs. Weasley ran over in a hurry with her handbag swinging violently in the air. Ginny grabbed her other hand and ran hard behind her.

There was another round of pleasantries, and the Weasley family all showed extraordinary guilt and self-blame for Harry's brief disappearance.

Then they dragged Eric, who was watching the show, to go to Gringotts to get money together, even though the bag containing gold galleons on Eric's waist looked so conspicuous.

"Guess who I saw in Mr. Borginberg's shop," Harry said to his friends as he walked up the steps of Gringotts.

"It's Draco and his dad." And Eric.Harry glanced at Eric quietly, but did not say the second half of the sentence.

"Did Lucius Malfoy buy anything?" Mr. Weasley asked behind them warily.

"No, he went to sell things."

"He's scared." Mr. Weasley said seriously and with satisfaction, "I really want to catch Lucius Malfoy and find their evidence."

"Be careful Arthur." Mrs. Weasley persuaded him from the side, and a goblin bowed her waist to welcome them into Gringotts. "Their family is not easy to deal with. Don't try to chew bones that you can't chew."

"You think I can't fight Malfoy," Mr. Weasley said angrily, but his attention was quickly diverted.Because he saw Hermione's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, both of whom were Muggles.

"Hey they are muggles we must go have a drink. Molly you see they are exchanging muggle currency for gold galleons" Mr Weasley cheered.

After Harry and Ron had withdrawn the money, the children reunited in front of the white steps of Gringotts.

Then parents also part with their children. "Meet you at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in an hour to buy you textbooks," Mrs. Weasley dragged Ginny and shouted at them, then squeezed into the crowd.

Harry and Ron were chatting while eating ice cream. Hermione was crazy about Eric Anley and Lockhart's famous deeds and his charming smile. The Weasley twins had disappeared a second after they disbanded. .

"Lockhart is so awesome. He actually defeated a ghoul." Hermione was still chattering in Eric's ear about that idiot Lockhart.

"Well" Eric took a deep breath, "Hermione, I know Lockhart is very powerful, but can you be a little quieter, thank you."

Hermione was a little unhappy to be interrupted. She turned her head and stopped talking to Eric. It was good, he didn't have to hear countless Lockharts anymore.

An hour later, they walked into the packed Flourish and Blott Bookstore. Witches were everywhere, squeezing in and out, and making piercing screams one after another.

They struggled to move slowly among the crowd, and each of them had just grabbed a copy of Breaking with the Ghost when they saw Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Mr. and Mrs. Granger queuing up to buy Lockhart's autobiography.

Because the photographer stepped on Ron's foot, Ron's complaint was heard by Lockhart. Poor little Harry was also noticed by him, and he dragged him over to take several photos, and even got Lockhart for free. a set of works.

However, Harry didn't want it and gave it to Ginny.

As a result, the crowd saw Harry and Lockhart standing together, and the crowd became even more crowded. In the sea of ​​people, Harry and the others managed to escape. When they could take a breath, the indebted Malfoy appeared.

Taking the most aggressive steps, proudly raising his forehead with a higher hairline, Draco appeared on the stage with a provocative look, and he almost had the word "bully" carved on his forehead.

"The famous Harry Potter can't even enter a bookstore without making headlines."

"Don't be ridiculous. He doesn't want this," Ginny said.This was the first time she spoke actively in front of Harry and glared at Malfoy.

"Potter, you got a girlfriend," Malfoy drawled.Ginny blushed, and Ron, Hermione and Eric crowded over.

Both of them held a pile of Lockhart's books in their hands, but Eric only took one, and the others were just random books to make up for.

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

"What surprised me even more was that I actually saw you entering the store, Weasley. I guess your parents will be hungry next week in order to buy these things."

Ron was immediately stabbed in a painful spot, his face turned red, he put the book into Ginny's cauldron and was about to rush forward, but unfortunately he was stopped by others.

"Ron, what are you doing here?" Mr. Weasley rushed over with the twins, "It's too noisy here, let's get out."

"Oh Arthur Weasley." It was Mr. Malfoy, Lucius, with the exact same sneer on his face as Draco.

"Lucius." Mr. Weasley nodded coldly.

"Brother, you have been quite busy with official duties recently. With so many checks, they must have paid you overtime." Lucius took out a tattered beginner's guide to transfiguration from Ginny's cauldron.

"It seems not. You can't even get a good reward. What's the benefit of being a scum among wizards? Why not learn from Henry Lane? He can still get enough benefits at least."

Almost everyone knew the connotation and irony in it. Harry quietly pulled Eric's clothes. He was worried that Eric couldn't stand the ridicule of Malfoy and the others and rushed forward.But Eric acted as if he hadn't heard anything and his expression remained unchanged.

"We have very different ideas of what it means to be a scumbag among wizards, Malfoy."

"Look at the friends you have made." Lucius's light pupils turned to the Grangers who were looking at him fearfully. "The Lane family will also pay attention to their own blood. I thought that the Weasley family had fallen. It’s reached its limit.”
