[HP] Walk in Thorns and Flowers

When Christo came out again, Malfoy had already left.Lockhart picked out the clothes he had screened again.Even so, in the end, Christo still failed to try a few things.After they came out of the robe shop, they rushed to the stationery shop to buy some parchment paper, and under Christo's repeated pleas, they went to the pet shop.Amber's favorite nuts were sold out as early as last month, and Christo always felt that she was an incompetent host.

At twelve o'clock, they entered Lihen Bookstore through the back door.Christo leaned on the window sill and looked down, densely packed with human heads.Lockhart was waiting for the potion to wear off so he could groom himself one last time.At [-]:[-], Lockhart, who had packed up, went downstairs, and Christo followed him.

"Gentlemen and ladies, it's a pleasure meeting you again. I'm Gilderoy Lockhart."

As soon as he finished speaking, Christo immediately heard enthusiastic cheers, and she quickly put on an innocent smile and walked out from behind Lockhart.Lockhart put a hand on her shoulder, and proudly introduced to everyone: "Christopher McMillan, my right-hand little assistant, is now studying at Hogwarts Gryffindor, "Can Magic She is the archetype of Dorothy, a character that frequently appears in My Love, isn’t she a cute little girl?” He smiled and showed his shiny teeth, and the photographer immediately pressed the shutter.

"Hello, everyone." Christo said nervously, and she saw Hermione give her an OK gesture.

"I can't imagine—" Mrs. Weasley, who was standing in the front row, exclaimed, "Ron, Mr. Lockhart's little assistant is in the same class as you. How come I never heard you mention it—God , It's amazing, she looks about the same age as Ginny, and she has followed Mr Lockhart to so many dangerous places."

At this moment, Ron seemed to see Professor Snape in a white robe. He opened his mouth wide, turned his neck stiffly, and asked incredulously, "Harry, do you know?"

Harry swallowed his saliva and said, "I just know he's Kerry's guardian—why do you all look so surprised." He looked around and saw several Hogwarts students stunned.

"Harry, don't you know?" Hermione frowned, "Gideroy Lockhart, Order of Merlin Third Class, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" award The Charming Smile Award, one of the most famous contemporary authors—ah, Mr. Lockhart is here—" She closed her mouth all of a sudden, trying to hide her excitement.

Ron gave her a strange look: "Harry, do you think there is something wrong with Hermione." But his voice was covered by Lockhart's suddenly raised voice-"But all readers who are here today will get my Taking a photo with Christo's autograph, huh—" He suddenly paused, turned his head and whispered to Christo, "I seem to have seen a bastard who didn't reply to you a letter during the summer vacation."

Christo followed his gaze, and sure enough, she saw Harry standing behind Mrs. Weasley, who smiled at her uncomfortably.

"Isn't this the famous Harry Potter?" Lockhart jumped up and shouted, the crowd immediately made way for him, he went down, grabbed Harry's arm, and brought him to the front, he Holding Harry's hand, the cameraman frantically pressed the shutter, purple smoke drifted everywhere, and the crowd burst into applause.Harry felt his face burning, several times he wanted to bury his head and walk into the crowd, but Lockhart held him tightly.

"Come on, man, put on a nice smile, we're sure to be on the front page," laughed Lockhart, who now put an arm around Harry's shoulders, whispering to Harry while the crowd was still cheering. Li said, "Boy, before you get some grades, don't just imitate some bad celebrities and show off. It's an annoying practice not to reply."

"Mr. Lockhart, it's not that I don't want to..." Harry glanced at Christophe, who automatically slipped into the corner because of his approach, and explained eagerly, but Lockhart seemed to have more important things to do Said, he gave himself a sonorous voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what an extraordinary moment! I would like to take this wonderful occasion to announce a little thing that I have been holding back for some time."

"Our young Harry just wanted to buy my autobiography when he walked into Lihen's Bookstore today—I'd give him the book for free on the spot—" There was another round of applause, "—but he didn't know that," Lockhart went on, shaking Harry so that his glasses slid up his nose, "He's going to get something more valuable than my book I'm Magical soon, and in fact, he and his schoolmates Will get a real, magical version of me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure and pride that I announce that this September, I will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

The audience erupted into warm applause, and Lockhart let go of the dazed Harry, happily accepting people's praise and admiration.Christophe waved her wand, opened the ink cap, and let the quill fly in.

"Gidero, why are you bullying Harry?"

Lockhart opened the chair and sat down, and said indifferently: "Where did I bully him? Well, my little Kelly, don't look at me suspiciously, think about it, who walked in Ireland Harry’s reply is still in the forest? I just want to teach him a lesson and let him understand that it’s not time for him to put on airs. Of course, I can also benefit from it, killing two birds with one stone, and I’m happy to do it.”

Christo rolled her eyes: "I really hope poor Harry won't be ridiculed because of your ostentation—" She suddenly pricked up her ears, "It seems that my crow's mouth is working again, Gilderoy, I'll go first." She trotted through the crowd.Malfoy was drawing a long sarcasm at Harry, and across from him stood the red-haired little Weasley girl, blushing.

Obviously, the Weasleys made it easier for Malfoy to find a breakthrough, and he quickly changed direction: "Weasley, I guess your parents will be hungry next month just to buy these things."

Slap, Ron threw a pile of books into the cauldron, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to rush up, Harry and Hermione quickly stopped him.

Christo finally arrived: "Malfoy, I don't remember being a gentleman who satirizes other people's parents."

When Malfoy saw Christophe, he immediately turned his head and snorted coldly.

"Gentleman? Malfoy is a gentleman? Christo you—"

Hey, Christo's wand waved down: "Listen, this is Gildero's signing party. If any of you want to continue arguing, I will treat it indiscriminately."

"What are you all doing here?" Mr. Weasley happened to bring George and Fred over.Christo breathed a sigh of relief, put down her wand and took Hermione's hand, and whispered to her expectantly: "Gidero plans to find a hotel in London to stay until school starts, I want to go to the movies, the playground, Go to the Muggle magic show, and the basketball game you mentioned last time..."

There was a bang and Christo was interrupted. When she looked up suddenly, she saw Mr. Weasley wrestling with a man with platinum-blonde hair. The books on the bookshelf were falling with a clatter, and the crowd backed away screaming. , hitting more bookshelves. "Father, come to him! Come to him!" the Weasley twins yelled out of fear of chaos, and Mrs. Weasley screamed: "Don't do this, Arthur, don't do this!" The clerk shouted anxiously: "Gentlemen, Stop, do it, do it, do it!"

Christo twitched the corners of her mouth, she finally understood why Malfoy was so rude - Lucius? Malfoy's self-cultivation was obviously not good enough.

"Hey, Kerry, what are you going to do?" Hermione was about to press down on Christophe's upraised hand, a white light had already emerged from the tip of her wand.A stuffed teddy bear suddenly appeared between Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley. It suddenly inflated to the size of a half-giant as if being inflated by ten pumps at the same time, separating the two in the blink of an eye.Mr. Weasley had a broken lip, and Mr. Malfoy had been smashed in the eye by a thick book, clutching a tattered Transfiguration textbook.

"Uncle cameraman, let's do a close-up—Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart's autograph signing has caused a huge sensation—" Christo shouted innocently, waving the wand to shake the messy books on the ground. Put it all back together.The two arguing suddenly calmed down, and just stared at each other fiercely.Christo stepped forward and dragged the plush teddy bear back. She tried several times but couldn't change it back, so she just looked at the clerk innocently and stuck out her tongue.

Mr. Malfoy stuffed the book in his hand into the arms of the little girl from the Weasley family, with a malicious gleam in his eyes: "Here, little girl—take your book—this is what your father can give you. You——" He suddenly turned his head to look at Christo, "it must be the recently found daughter of the McMillan family—Christo McMillan."

Christo held Hermione's hand tightly, and she felt a kind of depression: "Yes, sir." She said in a throat interfering.

"I think Mrs. McMillan hasn't had time to teach you how to choose friends." His light-colored pupils rolled, and his eyes fell on the hands held by Christophe and Hermione.

Christo plucked up her courage and said, "But my mother taught me that nobles should not use force to solve problems in public."

Mr. Malfoy's face turned even paler. Seeing the crowd following Lockhart, he snorted coldly, waved to Malfoy, and rushed out of the store.
