HP's profit-seeking

Chapter 20 The Chaotic Lihen Bookstore

During this holiday, Danica went to work at Lihen Bookstore again. The store manager, Mrs. Blots, bought a lot of Gilderoy Lockhart's books. This wizard is going to sign a sale at Lihen Bookstore.He was a handsome wizard with curly blond hair, bright blue eyes, and a charming smile.Danica liked him a little at first, but after he had been preparing for the signing for over a month, Danica started to hate him a little.

Lockhart would make her and another clerk, James, hang up huge pictures of him all over the bookstore, and then feel bad for them to take them down and put another one; Those books piled up like flowers, and when Danica couldn't help but cast a curse on him, Mrs. Blots couldn't stand it anymore, and sent him away with a smile, saying that she would leave the rest of the matter to her Deal with it and make sure to prepare a perfect signing for him.

When receiving the Hogwarts book list, when she saw Gilderoy Lockhart's works in a row in the books to be prepared for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Danica vowed to give Lockhart the next time. Damn, she was going to curse Lockhart for losing his hair.It costs a lot of money to buy all these books.

But there are still some interesting things about this holiday. Fred and her have been keeping in touch with each other by letter. The first time he sent a message with Errol, the old owl of the Weasley family, he almost collapsed on the way. Afterwards, Danica's owl, Palasir, was used to carry messages.

Fred told a lot of interesting things about his life, he told about his dad who converted a flying car, Percy stayed in the room all the holidays, his little sister Ginny talked about a holiday harry potter.The last letter said he, George, and Ron had picked Harry up in that car, and he had helped Harry free his locked broom using the lockpicking method Danica had taught him.

And Danica sent him some innocuous gizmos, such as a prank whistle that couldn't blow anything, a crystal that glowed all the time, and a drawstring bag that couldn't be filled. Her powerful or poisonous alchemy inventions were sold to Knockturn Alley.

In mid-to-late August, it was finally time for Gilderoy Lockhart's signing.Early in the morning, Danica waved her magic wand and hung a conspicuous banner upstairs, which read: "Gildroy Lockhart autobiography "Me Magician" signed by Gilderoy Lockhart today 12:30-4:30 p.m. [-]".

In order to cope with today's busy schedule, Mrs. Blots specially recruited three temporary workers in advance.Her move was not in vain, the store was full of people today, and there were still people wanting to enter, most of them were his female fans.James Wood was standing at the door to give advice. It was two or three hours before the autograph session started. He was already very tired, "Ladies, be quiet...don't be crowded...be careful with the books..."

Danica is maintaining order in the store, preventing the crazy witches from jumping in the queue.She was also very tired, and it really took all her strength to stop those crazy witches.Mrs. Blots looked at her small figure, and finally asked her to receive Lockhart, and called two temporary shop assistants to maintain order in the shop.

Danica came to the back of the bookstore, where Lockhart was busy arranging his hair in front of the mirror.He was wearing a robe the same blue as the forget-me-not flower, which matched his blue eyes.He cast at least ten hair-beautifying charms on his hair before he nodded in satisfaction and asked Danica to bring him his pointed wizard hat. (The hat was in his hand, and he insisted on asking her to bring it to him.) Then it was a long time trying on the hat, wearing it upright and then sideways, asking Danica how it looked better.Finally, the pointed wizard's hat is playfully tilted on a head of curly hair.

When the time finally came, Lockhart walked out with a big smile on his face, and Danica heard screams outside.She walked around from the stairs to the second floor of the bookstore, and then walked down from the second floor, standing on the periphery of the crowd and watching the excitement.

Lockhart sat behind a desk, surrounded by large photographs of himself, all Lockharts winking at the crowd, showing their dazzlingly white teeth.A short, grumpy man was holding a large black camera, jumping back and forth at him to take pictures.Every time the flash fires, puffs of purple smoke come out of the camera.

She didn't have any interest in watching any more, and turned to the person who came in through the door.Suddenly she saw the Weasley family, they all had red hair, Mrs Weasley was holding the book and struggling to squeeze in, she and the Granger family were in line.Harry and the other Weasley children stood a little outside.

Danica cut her way through the snaking line and joined them.

"Hi, Harry, I wrote to you earlier and didn't hear back from you. Fred told me you were locked in your uncle's house." She took out a small crystal ball from her pocket, and inside There's a little guy flying around on a broomstick, "So I didn't send you a birthday present, I thought I'd give it to you when you came to buy books."

Harry took the crystal ball, and the villain inside swooped down, and flew upwards just before hitting the ground in a thrilling manner, "Thank you Danica, I like it very much." Ron exclaimed beside him, "Harry , the villain inside really looks like you."

Danica smiled, and after greeting the others, she stood beside Fred. He had grown a lot taller again, but she was also five centimeters taller this summer.

"Why didn't you help Lockhart in the front?" Fred pouted towards the back of the bookstore, "All the witches are crazy about him, why didn't you take advantage of your position to stand closest to him?"

Danica said disdainfully: "Forget it, I hate him to death, he always makes me do this and that, I wish I could stay as far away from him as possible."

After hearing this, Fred took out a small thing, stuffed it quickly into her pocket, and said with a smile, "I will give you a magical firework that can automatically ignite and bloom when it sees water. I just bought it."

Ron and Harry squeezed inside, and Lockhart caught sight of Harry, grabbed him, pulled him to the front, and joined him for the photographer.The short man frantically pressed the shutter, and the thick smoke drifted to the door of the store.

When he finally let go of Harry, "Ladies and gentlemen," said Lockhart, waving for silence, "what a moment! I’ve been suppressing this matter for a while and haven’t said anything about it.”

Danica turned her head to look at him, there was no such part in the process, obviously it was added by himself, she was a little curious about what it was.

"Young Harry is going to get something more than my humble Magical Me, in fact, he and his schoolmates are going to get a real, magical version of me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am beyond Happy and proud to announce that this September, I will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

Danica grabbed Fred's arm so she wouldn't fall, and she said with a look of horror, "Did I get it wrong? Lockhart is going to be a teacher at Hogwarts?"

Fred also looked hopeless, he stretched out his hand to help Danica, "You heard me right, this is the truth."

Mr. Weasley walked towards them, his clothes were crumpled, and he touched his sweat, "I'm afraid your mother will take a while, children, let's go out and wait." Seeing that the red-haired girl standing next to Fred is not his child, "This is?"

Danica quickly adjusted the expression on her face, and greeted him politely with a smile, "Hi, Mr. Weasley, I'm Danica Wilson, a classmate of George and Fred."

He also put on a smile on his face, "I know you, Danica, Fred and George often talk about you, they say you are very smart."

During the pleasantries, they saw that Ron seemed to be about to fight Draco Malfoy, and Harry and Hermione were holding him tightly by his clothes.Mr. Weasley hurried past, with Danica, Fred and George following behind him.

"Ron, what are you doing? Let's go out first." Mr. Weasley hugged Ron and was about to go out. "Ahhh - Arthur Weasley." It was Mr. Malfoy, with a sneer on his face.

"Lucius." Mr. Weasley's face suddenly turned cold.

"I hear dude has a lot of work," said Mr. Malfoy. "So much censorship, I suppose they're paying you overtime?" He pulled a tattered copy of " "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", with a narrow smile, "It seems not. Merlin, if you can't even get a good salary, what good is being a scum among wizards?"

Mr. Weasley flushed. "We have very different ideas of what it means to be a bad wizard, Malfoy."

"Of course." Malfoy's light-colored eyes rolled, and he looked at the worried Grangers beside him, "Look at the friends you've made, Weasley, I thought your family had fallen to the limit. "

With a clang, Ginny slammed her cauldron down on top of Malfoy, as Mr. Weasley lunged at him, knocking him onto a bookshelf, and dozens of thick spell books fell on top of them. .Fred and George yelled, "Hit him, Daddy!" Mrs. Weasley shrieked, "Don't do that, Arthur!" The crowd backed away in panic, knocking down more bookshelves.Palaser, who was standing on the bookshelf, was frightened and flew out of the bookstore, leaving behind a few dark gray feathers.

A blue light hit the feet of the entangled Weasley and Malfoy, startling them and stopping their fight.It was Danica who had made that swipe just now, and she swung her wand and cast a spell with a loud voice for herself. "Everyone, don't panic. Gentlemen, I have to tell you that I am sorry to tell you that fighting is not allowed here."

Mrs. Weasley quickly pulled Mr. Weasley away, his mouth was broken.And one of Mr. Malfoy's eyes was shot black. He had just been hit by Toadstools, and he was still holding Ginny's battered Transfiguration textbook in his hand.

Danica continued to speak in a loud voice, "It's really hard for me to imagine that a pure-blood nobleman, the honorable Mr. Malfoy, would fight in our bookstore."

Mr. Malfoy gave her a hard look, threw the book in Ginny's arms, waved at Draco, and rushed out of the shop.

"You shouldn't talk to him, Arthur," said Mrs. Weasley, furiously. "Look at the good head you've given the children, fighting in public!" Then she said to Danica again, her tone a little kinder. , "Danica, thank you very much, but you shouldn't have talked to Malfoy like that just now, you have to be careful that he will retaliate against you, that person has the smallest stomach."

Danica shook her head, indicating it was fine.Then the family headed out, Fred trailing behind, and he said to Danica, "I'm sorry to trouble you. And thank you."

After they were all gone, Danica began to organize the scattered books.

After the Weasley family walked to the street, George suddenly remembered something and said loudly, "Mom, it turned out that Fred and Dani had sent a letter for a summer vacation. The owl belonged to her. I just saw it." .”

Mrs. Weasley looked a little surprised, and looked at Fred, "She looks like a good girl, you can bring her to the house later."

"Mom, there's nothing between us, don't listen to George's nonsense." Fred was a little helpless, and when everyone was not paying attention, he stepped on George's foot hard, and when George was about to shout, he covered him mouth, "As long as you have a mouth, you can speak."

The author has something to say:

1. Sorry, I hate Lockhart.

2. Sorry, I don't like Malfoy very much.
