Wizarding Journey from Hogwarts

Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, a small store at this time, was already packed with people, most of whom were women.

A banner hangs at the door of the store: Gilderoy Lockhart's "Magical Me" book signing, today 12:30-14:30

There were less than 10 minutes left before the autograph session started. At this time, the witches gathered in the store were all red-faced and extremely excited.

As the most popular novelist in the wizarding world today, Lockhart's popularity is unquestionable, especially among older female wizards.

Even the little witch Hermione, who wanted to calm down, seemed a little excited at this time.

She had read a lot of books in the past two months, including several books written by Lockhart, which interested her very much.

A tired-looking wizard stood at the door to maintain order: "Ladies, be quiet...don't crowd...be careful with the books..."

But obviously the effect is not very good.

Mrs. Weasley stared at the table at the front, where Lockhart would appear soon.

She whispered breathlessly: "We'll see him in a minute!"

The other witches, all of whom were holding a copy of "Breaking with Ghosts", stood in line behind Mrs. Weasley, but they all stretched their necks and looked ahead.

After a while, the planned autograph session finally arrived, and a man wearing a blue robe and a pointed wizard hat appeared behind the table.

Showing his shiny white teeth, he smiled and looked at the enthusiastic and excited fans in the store.

At this time, a grumpy short man held a large black camera and jumped back and forth to take pictures. Every time the flash flashed dazzlingly, the camera spewed out streams of purple smoke.

"Get out of the way," he squeezed Ron away angrily, while backing up to choose a better angle, "This is for the Daily Prophet."

"It's amazing." Ron rubbed the instep of his foot that was hurt by the man's step.

Gilderoy Lockhart heard his sarcasm. He looked up, saw Ron, ignored him, and then saw Harry standing next to Ron.

He stared at Harry for a moment, then jumped up and shouted, "Isn't this Harry Potter?"

The crowd made a way, and Lockhart rushed forward, grabbing Harry's arm and pulling him forward, and the crowd burst into applause.

Harry's face was hot, and he didn't want to be like this. Lockhart held his hand and asked the photographer to take a picture. The short man pressed the shutter frantically, and thick smoke drifted towards the Weasley family.

"What a beautiful smile, Harry." Lockhart himself showed off his shining teeth. "We will definitely be on the first page."

When he finally let go of Harry's hand, Harry's fingers were numb. He wanted to slip back to the Weasleys, but Lockhart's arm was still on his shoulder, holding him firmly to his side. .

"Ladies and gentlemen," Lockhart said loudly, waving his hand for silence, "what an extraordinary moment this is! I want to take advantage of this wonderful occasion to announce a small announcement, which I have suppressed for a while. The time has not been told.”

"When young Harry walked into Flourish and Blotts today, he just wanted to buy my autobiography. Of course I was willing to give him the book for free on the spot!"

There was applause in the store. "But he doesn't know," Lockhart shook Harry, causing his glasses to slip to the tip of his nose. "He will soon get something more valuable than his humble work "Magic Me". Because, he and his classmates will get a real, magical me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am extremely happy and proud to announce that this September, I will become the Dark Magician of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Defense teacher!"

Thunderous applause erupted in the store again, and Harry stuffed a set of Lockhart's books with a confused look on his face before being driven aside.

"It seems you enjoy this feeling, Potter!"

Harry suddenly heard a familiar voice, looked up, and saw Draco and the old man standing on the stairs looking at him.

Why does Draco appear here? This is the second time today that he has seen himself in a state of embarrassment!Harry wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it right now.

"Draco, is Dumbledore already blinded by old age? Why would he choose such a waste to become a professor in school?" At this time, an inappropriate voice sounded, and everyone looked for the voice. The person who spoke was the person standing next to Draco. That old man.

"Old guy, who are you? How dare you mock Mr. Lockhart!" Upon hearing Grindelwald's words, angry voices came from the crowd. These were all Lockhart's die-hard fans.

Looking at the excited people below, some thoughts flashed through Grindelwald's eyes. He thought that there were many such people who followed him loyally back then. It seemed that the number was hundreds or thousands of times that here. Unfortunately, they should all be there. Almost dead!

"Quiet!" Suddenly a thunderous voice exploded in the crowd, making the excited witches calm down a bit.

"You don't even know how to respect the elderly?" Gene walked into the store, glanced around the witches, and finally looked at the front of the team. "And I think the old gentleman is right. What do you think, Lockhart?" !”

Lockhart never expected that today's autograph session would be like this. He completely ignored the old man who contradicted and questioned him. This was not the first time he encountered this kind of situation, but he had done this before. Basically all the witch fans are their husbands.

And the witches took care of all their husbands without taking any action themselves.

But the appearance of the black-haired boy made him feel very uncomfortable. Why did he meet him here? Shouldn't he be going to Durmstrang to go to school!

"Ha...haha, it turns out to be Jean, long time no see!"

Lockhart immediately pushed away the crowd, came to Jean and opened his arms enthusiastically, as if the two had a good relationship.

Gene moved aside without any trace, avoiding his embrace.

Lockhart was stunned for a moment in embarrassment, and quickly motioned to his assistant to snatch the camera away from the Daily Prophet reporter.

When he came to Jean's side, he whispered with a smile on his face: "Mr. Jean, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Glancing at him, "Don't worry, as long as you obey, I won't expose you."

Hearing this, Lockhart felt relieved a lot and immediately said with a smile, "Then please take care of me, Master Jean, during school this semester."

Although he was smiling on the outside, he was already cursing on the inside.

Originally, he thought that a descendant of a cruel dark wizard like Jean would go to school in Durmstrang. This was what he had said himself, so as long as he did not go to Bulgaria in the future, there would be basically no chance for the two of them to meet. But who would have thought that, He actually came to Hogwarts.

Lockhart was deeply afraid that Gene would reveal everything. In this case, he might be ruined in an instant.

Because, Jean is the real protagonist of the book "Breaking with the Female Ghost"!
