HP Dawn Night

Chapter 49 Gilderoy Lockhart

Uncle Lucius first took us to buy the new vanilla almond ice cream from Florin's Cold Drink Shop, and then took us for a stroll in the lively alley.

Both Draco and I need to buy new quills, ink, and parchment, as well as prepare owl food for next year.Neither of us went to the Quidditch boutique because it wasn't necessary - I've bought a new broom and Draco, if nothing else, will have one soon.

We stopped for a while at some interesting grocery stores, met some of our fellow Slytherins, Uncle Lucius had a short chat with Goyle and Crabbe's father, and Draco and I Say hello to each other and ask each other how their summer vacation is.

It has to be said that everyone has the same polite and distant smiles. As Pansy said, this kind of life is the same, as if wearing a mask.

We ended up going to a new candy store and saw Theodore Knott, wandering around by himself.After a brief greeting, we parted ways.Nott is going to the pharmacy to replenish supplies, while we are headed towards Lihen Bookstore.

We are far more than the few people who go to the bookstore.I was surprised to find a large group of people crowded outside the store, all of them seemed to be middle-aged witches, and a huge banner was pulled high:

Gilderoy Lockhart signs autobiography "I'm Magical" for sale today 12:30-4:30pm

A tired-looking wizard stood in the doorway and said, "Ladies, be quiet...don't be crowded...watch out for the books..."

In my opinion, his voice is insignificant in front of that group of crazy people, and their enthusiasm is enough to burn the entire Diagon Alley.There were people in front of them, and there was almost no place to stay, but Malfoy and his son obviously didn't intend to just squeeze in like this:

"Come with me, kids, let's go upstairs from there... stupid people." Uncle Lucius pointed us up a hidden staircase to the second floor of Lihen Bookstore, while commenting arrogantly.

"I don't know what Gilderoy Lockhart has to see." Draco said in his father's tone, and I couldn't help laughing to myself.

The second floor is much quieter, and we can freely choose the books we want.

"Oh, I kind of want to take a look at Lockhart, this year's book list is full of his name!" I quickly found Lockhart's book on the bookshelf, looking at the cover with exaggerated and gorgeous colors, I couldn't bear it. Can't stop talking.

"Maybe you'll see it if you wait here for a while." Draco reached out for the "Complete Book of Mischief" and flipped through it casually. "It's really boring. Are those people downstairs still waiting in line?"

"It sounds like he's done a lot of great things." I looked at the covers of each book and said, "Why doesn't the Chocolate Frog have his name on the card?"

"Maybe it's because of low-key." Draco sarcastically.

"Low-key?" I sneered, and motioned him to look at the group of mad witches downstairs, "They almost fainted. Who would say that's low-key?"

Compared with the first floor, there are few people on the second floor.Draco and I walked up and down the handrail until we finally found a good spot with a great view.

"Look, there he is -" Draco raised his chin and nodded, Lockhart drowning in the large picture of himself.All the faces in the photo were winking at the crowd, showing their dazzlingly white teeth.So much so that it took me a while to find him in real life.

"Ah, what the hell-" I couldn't help saying as Lockhart's curly hair came into view, and Draco snickered.What a coincidence, Lockhart is also wearing a forget-me-not blue robe today, which complements my color!In addition, he also wears a wizard hat askew.

At this moment, there was a commotion downstairs.Lockhart's voice came loudly:

"Isn't this Harry Potter?"

We watched from the second floor as he charged forward and dragged Potter into the center of attention.A short man held up a camera and frantically clicked the shutter repeatedly. The Weasley family on the side was already submerged in the thick smoke from the camera.

"What a beautiful smile, Harry." Lockhart showed off his bright teeth with all his might. "We could both be on the first page."

However, he did not let Potter go, but waved his hand to make everyone quiet again: "Ladies and gentlemen, what an extraordinary moment! I want to take this wonderful occasion to announce a small thing, this I’ve kept things under wraps for a while and haven’t said anything.”

"Honestly, Vio, I suddenly have a bad feeling," Draco said.

"Oh, yes—see, he's going to talk."

"When young Harry walked into the Lichen Bookstore today, he just wanted to buy my autobiography. I would give him the book for free on the spot, but he didn't know that he would soon have my book "I Can Be Magical" Something more valuable. In fact, he and his classmates will get a real, magical version of me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this September, I will be Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Art teacher!"

"Damn it!" Draco exclaimed, "I don't want this madman teaching!"
