[HP+Shenxia] Unexpected encounter
Chapter 29 Lihen Bookstore
When the three of them were entangled with the soul of Tom Riddle, the summer vacation was almost over. At the same time, the letter from Hogwarts arrived, and the second-year book list also arrived.
"I'm a little worried about this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Christie was worried, "How do "Journey with Giants" and "Voyage with Vampires" feel like fairy tales or fantasy novels??"
Sylvia stared at the long list of books, "Ghideroy Lockhart? Who is he? Our second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"
"...Isn't he a best-selling author?" Aurora was a little speechless, "Why do I feel like we are going to study by ourselves again this year?"
The month before Hogwarts starts school is probably one of the busiest times of the year in Diagon Alley.The streets are crowded with people, and almost every shop is crowded with people. The most popular ones are of course Florin's Ice Cream Shop and the Broomstick Shop, followed by Lihen Bookstore. The reason is very simple. Most of the little wizards would come here to buy textbooks for the new semester.
Aurora met with Christie and Sylvia when they came to Lihen Bookstore, but found a poster pasted on the door of the bookstore, on which Lockhart was proudly displaying his various published books, and at the same time did not forget to smile Show off his white teeth.
"Should we hurry up, Lockhart will hold a signing event here later." Christie pointed to the poster at the door.
Aurora and Silvia said in unison, "It makes sense."
As soon as the three finished selling their books, they heard Elvira calling them. Looking up, Elvira, Doris and Draco waved to the three on the second floor.
"Why are you on the second floor?" Aurora found a seat on the second floor and sat down.
"Avella and I are going to wait for my father here." Draco pointed to Lucius who was chatting happily with a gentleman downstairs.
Doris said expectantly: "I want to stay and see Gilderoy Lockhart! I have read a lot of his books and they are really wonderful!"
"Uh, you like reading his books? Well, his novels are pretty good." Christie said with some embarrassment.
"It's not a novel!" Doris said in disapproval. "These are his real adventures. I think he will teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts better than Quirrell."
Christie rolled her eyes, "As long as you are happy!"
"Lockhart is a very good wizard." Doris emphasized.
"Okay, okay." Aurora interrupted the confrontation between the two, "How is his Defense Against the Dark Arts class? You'll know when the school starts."
At this time, there was a burst of noise downstairs, and then it quieted down, and the signing party began.Doris immediately went to the railing and looked down.The rest of the people followed slowly.
Sylvia asked: "Avella, Draco, what do you think of Lockhart?"
Draco curled his lips and sneered, and looked downstairs with disdain, "I'm an idiot plus a narcissist."
Elvira blinked mischievously, "I want to see what Professor Lockhart, who won the most charming smile award from "Witcher Weekly" five times, looks like."
"Oh my God!"
"What's wrong?" Hearing Christie's low scream, Aurora and the others quickly walked to her side.Looking down, Lockhart was dragging and pulling Harry to the second floor. Harry looked reluctant, but he was too embarrassed to break away from the other party's hand in public.
"That Weasley mouse!" Christie gritted her teeth and pointed at Ron's position.
The people in Aurora knew everything about why Christie had such a reaction, so they didn't make a sound. Draco had black lines all over his head, "Christie, that's just a mouse! Although it's not very popular, it's that Wei Sly's pet will not come and bite you!"
"Don't you think rats are disgusting!" Christie talked about the rat's discoloration, "and I've been putting up with it for a long time looking at Weasley's face! The dusty one looks very dirty! And it's going to run around! "
Sylvia suggested: "...Shall we go to Florin's ice cream shop? Anyway, we've already bought all our books."
"Let's go, let's go now." Christie took the lead to walk outside Lihen Bookstore.
Draco told Lucius to leave, Doris looked at Lockhart and hesitated for a moment, but followed to Florin's ice cream shop.
Everyone ordered dessert on the ice cream and chatted.At this moment, Lucius came out of Lihen Bookstore and saw the Arthur Weasley family outside the crowd, "Good day! Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley."
Arthur Weasley said, "Lucius."
"The Ministry of Magic must be very busy. It makes surprise inspections all day long. I hope you will get overtime pay." As he spoke, he picked up a second-hand book that Ginny kept in the cauldron, flipped through it casually, and threw it back into Ginny's hand. In the crucible, there was a sneer, "I'm afraid judging from the current situation, there is not."
"Lucius, you must know that these children are also a sweet burden, but I'm afraid you can't understand it." Arthur responded unhurriedly.
Lucius's smile froze, and then he smirked, "An excellent Malfoy heir, as long as one is enough. At least she has no worries about food and clothing, and she doesn't have to worry about Jin Gallon if she wants to buy anything. I saw Draco And his friends, I wish you... happy shopping! Excuse me!"
"Good day! Elvira, Aurora, Miss Edward and these two ladies." Lucius walked up to them and greeted the ladies present.
Elvira said seriously, "Good day! Uncle Lucius. Let me introduce to you, these three are my good friends with Aurora, Christie Evelina Edward, Doris Stewart and West Via Garcia."
Lucius gave the three of them a big hug, and said gracefully: "Hi, Miss Edward, we met at a banquet before. I wonder how your Mr. and Mrs. Edward are doing?"
"Thanks to you, everything is fine!" Christie replied.
Lucius seemed to ask casually, "I heard from Xiaolong and Elvira that the ladies are all very talented wizards, and Aurora is especially good at potions, right?"
"Professor Snape taught me well, and Professor Snape helped me a lot." Is this trying to get my bottom line?But I'd better be humble, if this Uncle Lucius told the professor that I was very proud, he would talk to McCoff again about his "deficiencies".
"No need to be modest, I believe you must be an excellent Slytherin, just like your headmaster." The voice full of mature magnetism came again, "Well, now I think we can go buy school robes, four Don't stay here, miss."
After Lucius, Elvira, and Draco left, Sylvia said to Aurora: "He is probing your bottom, how far has your brother's plan been pushed?"
Aurora shook her head, "I don't know, I never ask about political matters. I'll go back tonight and ask."
"Aurora, on the day you return to school, please pay attention to whether Mr. Potter is on the Hogwarts Express." Before Aurora asked Mycroft about the reform of the wizarding world, he told Aurora about Harry thing.
Aurora asked, "What? What happened to Potter?"
McCoff opened the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of water, "My subordinates reported that Mr. Potter only received letters from owls during the holiday, but did not reply to a single letter. I went to Privet Drive to 'rescue' Potter out, so I guess someone wants to stop him from contacting the wizarding world, and that person will definitely try to stop Mr. Potter from going to Hogwarts on the day he returns to school."
"You sent people to Privet Drive? People from the Order of the Phoenix on Privet Drive have been paying attention. You tell your people to be careful, so as not to be discovered." Aurora's focus is on McCoff's men.
McCoff said that I have made all arrangements, "Their identities have been arranged, and they are only detectives of Scotland Yard when they are discovered."
"It's as long as you know these things in your heart. After all, wizards don't attack ordinary people at will." Aurora thought for a while and said, "I will pay attention to Potter. He cares about everything in the wizarding world very much. Going back to Hogwarts, I'm afraid he might make some amazing moves in a moment of anxiety."
Aurora added, "Your people have to make arrangements that day. Once this happens, appease him immediately, and then notify the Ministry of Magic to send Potter to school."
"Don't worry about this, I will arrange it. I just don't know the purpose of that person doing this."
Aurora remembered her previous question, "Brother, how far have you pushed the reform of the wizarding world? When I went to buy items in Diagon Alley today, I met the owner of Malfoy. He was testing my strength. And Dumbledore Principal Lido has become suspicious of Christie."
"That old fox, Lucius." Mycroft sneered, "I'm afraid you will be in the limelight when you return to Hogwarts. It's okay for a young man to show his sharpness."
Aurora frowned, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Mycroft's tone was flat, "You are my sister, and I am the one who pushes for changes in the wizarding world. Both the Ministry of Magic and some politicians in the cabinet will pay great attention to you. You must use a high-profile gesture Show your ability, whether it is IQ, personality or magic, you must tell them that they cannot control you and let you be used by them."
"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Aurora also sneered, "Some families in the wizarding world are paying attention to me! I'm afraid they will also be under Dumbledore's attention."
"Dumbledore..." Mycroft pondered for a while, "You can cooperate with him when you think it is necessary, and use Voldemort's soul in your hands to negotiate terms with him."
"If it is necessary!"
"Okay." Mycroft raised his eyebrows suddenly, watching Aurora's expression with great interest, "Let's talk about your next plan instead."
Aurora's expression froze, hesitating to speak, feeling a bad premonition, "...do you have any suggestions?"
"Of course! I will arrange you to be an 'internship' in MI6 next summer, so that those politicians can take a good look at your abilities. If you pass the assessment, I will give you a nominal position."
"...I am only 12 years old this year, and I will be 13 next year. It seems that I cannot meet the age requirements of the British government."
"You don't have to worry about this, high-ranking officials and politicians will agree. Besides, I need you to get a diploma from Oxford University before passing the ordinary wizarding level exam in the fifth grade." Mycroft continued to raise conditions.
"..." Before passing the ordinary wizard level exam, that is, before the age of 16, Aurora collapsed a bit, "My dear big brother, do you think too highly of me? You know, I am just one of many goldfish."
"No, no, no." Mycroft shook his head, "Don't belittle yourself, you have this strength, but you usually hide it too well."
Aurora struggled, "Oxford needs a letter of recommendation and an entrance exam. I'm afraid I don't have the time."
Mycroft said his envisioned plan, "I will arrange it and put the entrance exam in your vacation. After admission, I will help you apply for self-study. You only need to take the exam and take the exam during the Hogwarts vacation. Submit your thesis on time."
Before Aurora could retort, Mycroft gagged her, "I believe you can! Although you can't remember the plot, you are still fine in other aspects. This couldn't be easier for you."
Brother, Hogwarts has no internet, so how do you hand in your papers!Aurora wants to cry but has no tears. She was only 12 years old and was placed in Huaguo as the flower bone of the motherland. After coming to this world, she often endured the pressure that she should not have to bear at this age. TT
