Hogwarts Staff Maker

After lunch, there is still some time before the afternoon class.

Hermione took out a copy of "Traveling with Vampires" and started reading it attentively. Liu Sen was still wondering why the top student didn't prepare for his homework today. Then he thought, it seems that for Lockhart, his "autobiography" is really a textbook!

Liu Sen has flipped through these books, and some of the magic and experiences in them are still very interesting. After all, they are true stories collected by Lockhart from others. After his polishing and processing, the overall reading experience is similar to that of later online novels!

However, Liu Sen only watched the magic to deal with emergencies, and had no interest in the exaggerated individualism and the show-offs and sensationalism that filled the screen.

"Why didn't you two activate your invisibility in the car? I reminded you!" Liu Sen asked Harry and the others.

"Don't mention it. I forgot about it in a hurry! I only remembered it when we were in the air, but then the invisibility function seemed to fail!" Ron said with a sigh.

At this time, a thin boy came over timidly. He looked to be a first-year student and was wearing Gryffindor clothes like them.

"Hi! I... my name is Colin Creevey! From Gryffindor too! Harry! I'm so glad to call you!"

The child came straight towards Harry, his eyes full of passion, "I was wondering... just... could I take a picture of you?"

"Take a picture?" Harry asked blankly.

Only then did a few people notice that he was holding a Muggle-style camera.

He explained, "So I can prove I saw you!"

Colin leaned forward again, "I know everything about you! How did you defeat the mysterious man? How did you gain incredible power with your mother's blessing? How did you get the lightning-shaped scar?"

Having said this he looked eagerly at Harry's forehead, searching with wide eyes.

The child didn't notice Harry's embarrassment at all, and continued, "Everyone around me is talking about you! If I could take a picture of you, they would be so jealous! My roommate said that if I used the right revealing potion, the picture would move!"

His eyes were full of excitement. "The magical world is really great, isn't it? I didn't know that the strange things around me were magic until I received the acceptance letter! My dad is a milkman and he can't believe it. So I'm going to take a lot of photos and send them to him."

He looked at Harry pleadingly, "It would be even better if we could take a photo together! I wonder if your friend could help me press the shutter? And it would be perfect if you could sign it! Okay?"

Colin took a deep breath and looked at Harry and Liu Sen expectantly.

But at this moment, an annoying voice came from a distance: "Porter? Are you handing out autographed photos?"

It was Malfoy, and beside him were still his two bodyguard-like buddies Crabbe and Goyle. The three of them squeezed aside the thin Colin and stood in front of Harry.

But just as he was about to continue mocking, his expression suddenly changed, and the next moment Liu Sen greeted him with a kind and gentle smile.

Seeing this, Neville and Ron immediately followed, one on the left and one on the right, and showed no weakness in the face of Malfoy and the other two.

The corner of Malfoy's mouth twitched. He didn't hear Liu Sen's voice outside the crowd just now. After seeing Liu Sen, he felt unlucky in his heart.

He turned around and was about to run, but Liu Sen said, "Draco! Don't be in such a hurry to leave! How was your vacation? Did you forget to do something?"

Malfoy froze, but there was a hand on his shoulder.

Liu Sen put his arm around his shoulders and said without question, "Come on, let's go over there and talk!" He glanced at Crabbe and Goyle and said, "Do you two want to talk alone?"

The two of them hurriedly shook their heads like rattles.

Malfoy pretended to be calm, forced a smile on his face, and was taken aside by Liu Sen.

"Hey! Brother Liu... Brother Liu! Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Liu Sen smiled without saying anything, just staring at the other person.

Malfoy didn't know where to put his eyes, and there was some sweat on his forehead. "Well, my pocket money this year is not much. It's mainly because I asked my dad to do something during the holidays, which cost a lot of money... How about giving me some time?"

Liu Sen patted his shoulder, scaring him so much that he closed his eyes.

"Don't be nervous. Am I an unreasonable person? I'm so gentle and easy-going. What's there to be afraid of? Don't you think so?" But then Liu Sen changed the subject and said, "Why didn't you add me as your friend during the holiday? Where's the book you promised me?"

Malfoy just breathed a sigh of relief, but became panicked again after hearing the next sentence, "My... Oh, my parents often check my phone, and I was afraid that our chat about magic books would be discovered, so I didn't dare to add you! Haha, really!"

Liu Sen nodded without comment. "Then, make a list of books for me tomorrow. I'll choose 20 books."

Malfoy was immediately anxious: "20 books! Didn't we agree on 10 books? The books in my house are all treasures! I would have to take a risk to steal 10 books!"

"You promised to give me the holiday, but what happened? I feel uncomfortable if I don't read for a day, and I feel uncomfortable... Eh? How about this, you practice magic with me? I can practice one less book! What do you think?"

Seeing Liu Sen's harmless look, Malfoy's hair stood on end. Practicing magic with you? Do you think your life is too long? I'm not stupid!

In the end, Malfoy bravely bargained and "reduced" the number of books to 15, and they had to be books that could not be found in Hogwarts, including the restricted area!

As for whether there is a banned books area, of course Liu Sen has the final say, so as to prevent the other party from trying to be clever and fooling him with some meaningless popular goods.

However, Liu Sen is not a school bully who exploits his classmates. He promises to give the other party a magic gun to play with after the book is obtained. Of course, the style and built-in magic are decided by Liu Sen.

When Liu Sen took the dejected Malfoy back to find his companions, he found that the crowd who had come to watch Colin's excitement had dispersed.

It turned out that just now, Lockhart passed by here, and after hearing everyone's conversation, he mistakenly thought that Harry was really distributing autographed photos, so he immediately stepped forward, put his arm around Harry's shoulders, and took him away.

He then gave Harry another lecture, using the tone of a "successful person", advising him that fame must be achieved step by step, and that only someone of his status could understand the "distress" of carrying around autographed photos.

He reminded Harry earnestly that being a celebrity is a complicated business and Harry was too young to control himself!

No matter how Harry denied it, Lockhart didn't believe it and answered with a look that said, "These little tricks of yours are all the same ones I used to play on you."

Soon, the class bell rang. It was the same classroom that Quirrell had been to last year. Hanging from the vaulted ceiling was a bone specimen of a Hectic black dragon (it was placed there by Ms. Hecate, who taught Defense Against the Dark Arts more than 100 years ago).

The pile of books and strange skeletons in the corner of the wall last year were gone, replaced by large and small, beautifully framed portraits and photos - all of Lockhart himself!
