Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 17 At Lihen Bookstore

As the saying goes, the first time is born and the second time is cooked.It is not difficult for Hilbert who uses the Chinese version of Apparition.In his head, he had imagined the appearance of Lihen Bookstore, but the reality is so cruel, Taoist Lingxu and Hilbert moved to Knockturn Alley.That one has only dark wizards and villains.Disliked by most dark wizards. "Bah, bah, shit, where did you take us?" Taoist Lingxu crawled out of the fireplace, spitting ashes while talking.

"Uh, I think I took us to the Borgin' Bock store on Knockturn Alley."

"What, the Burke family that is married to your mother's Black family?"

A man appeared in front of the counter bent over. He was combing the greasy hair hanging on his face repeatedly with his hands.Mr. Borgin's voice and his hair were greasy.

"Oh, so it's you, Hilbert."

"Long time no see, Grandpa Bojin."

"You are still the same as when you were a child. You don't like to follow others to call me Mr., but to call me Grandpa." Bo Jin said with a smile, wiped his eyes and sniffed his nose.

"Why did you come to me today? You brought a strange person with you?"

"Oh, I forgot if you didn't tell me, I came to buy the textbooks for next semester today, but there was an accident with Apparition, and I came to you. How is the business?"

"Your Uncle Lucius came here to sell some things just now. Well, I have something else to do, so go buy books first. Goodbye!"

After leaving Knockturn Alley, Taoist Lingxu, who had been holding back all the time, asked, "Why do you call Bo Jin Grandpa?"

"Well, I went to Black's old house with my mother when I was a child. Looking at the Black family tree, Grandpa Bokin married my grandpa's aunt."

This Black family is really a huge family, and the complex relationship of marriage with multiple families made Taoist Lingxu a little confused. (The author Jun carefully studied the Black family tree last night, because the mother of the protagonist in this book is the youngest daughter of the Black family and Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix is ​​a sister.)
Coming to the bustling Diagon Alley Street, Hilbert had to rely on crowding to move forward.In other words, couldn't the designers of Diagon Alley make the street wider?Taoist Lingxu greeted all eighteen generations of the ancestors who designed Diagon Alley in his heart.Finally arrived at Lihen Bookstore, Hilbert went to buy books, while Taoist Lingxu took out a copy of "History of Magic" written by Bathilda Bashot from the bookshelf to read.Suddenly he was hit by a large group of people. "Sorry to make way, today is Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart's book signing. Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart will be attending in person."

"Gilderoy Lockhart? The big liar who is good at the Oblivion Charm?"

Taoist Lingxu put the book back in its place, and followed the army to the counter.

"Hey, Ron, look at that strange person over there!" Harry pointed to Taoist Lingxu and whispered to Ron.

Taoist Lingxu, who had a particularly well-developed hearing, had already heard Harry Potter's words. At this time, Hilbert, who had finished buying the book, also came to Taoist Lingxu.

"Hi Hermione, nice to see you again, how was your holiday?"

"Very well, my parents took me to France."

"Hello, Mr. Shafik," said Mr. Granger.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome series bestselling author Mr Gilderoy Lockhart."

Saw Gilderoy Lockhart.He sat behind a desk, surrounded by large photographs of himself, all faces winking at the crowd, teeth gleaming with dazzling whiteness.The real Lockhart wore a robe the same blue as the forget-me-not flower, which matched his blue eyes.A pointed wizard's hat is playfully tilted on one side of his curly hair.

"He's not as handsome as me." Taoist Lingxu said silently.

"I think this guy is a clown, and what we learn from him will be flashy!" said Harry in disgust.

Ron looked at Lockhart with disgust, and said, "Do you believe it? I think the same as Harry!"

Hilbert said: "I don't doubt this at all, because I think so too!"

Harry joked: "When I get to school, I can also start a bet, just bet that our Defense Against the Dark Arts class this semester must be nothing!"

"He is the person my daughter admires the most now, holding on to his books all day long." Mr. Granger said leisurely.

"Dad!" snapped Hermione, unhappy.

"If you can get an autographed photograph of Lockhart, I'll adore you."

"I leave it to you, Harry, remember to give him a hard time!" Hilbert patted Harry on the shoulder.

At this moment, Lockhart suddenly showed a surprised expression, and said, "Oh! My God! It's really you, Harry Potter!"

Harry froze for a moment, he never expected Lockhart to see him.The reporter then immediately pulled Harry over to Lockhart's side.

Lockhart put his arms around Harry in a very familiar way, and he said softly, "Relax, Harry! Smile, smile! We're going to be in the headlines tomorrow!"

Harry smiled helplessly, he really wanted to ask: "Are we familiar?"

After taking a few photos, Lockhart looked smug and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what an exciting moment! When little Harry stepped into Lihen Bookstore this morning to buy my autobiography "Will When "Magic Me"..."

Lockhart paused suddenly, and the people around immediately started applauding and cheering.Lockhart enjoyed the cheers very much. He nodded and continued: "This book has topped the "Daily Prophet" bestseller list for 27 consecutive weeks. I don't think he would have thought or believed it. I will Take all my writings..."

As he spoke, he took a stack of books from the bookstore owner and placed them in front of Harry, smiling, "...Give it to him for free!"

Harry, who was about to refuse, suddenly thought, "Ron said this set of books is not cheap. If so...hehe! Then I'm not going to be polite!" Harry showed a smirk.

"Ahem!" Harry cleared his throat suddenly, and everyone immediately turned their attention to him. In the world of wizards, the name Harry Potter is very influential!

"Gentlemen and ladies!" Harry laughed, "I'm really very happy to get a complete set of works by Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart! I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart, he is really very generous! In fact, I've heard that he anonymously donated vast amounts of books and money to poor wizards!" "Oh my God! Mr Lockhart, that's great!"

"He is simply the representative of the best wizards!"

Ron looked at Harry puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong with Harry? He doesn't know Lockhart at all, okay? Where did he hear such nonsense?"

Hilbert didn't think so, but looked at Harry with a smirk on his face.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Lockhart laughed: "I don't want to say these little things! But Harry Potter, who is my fan, actually said this. Although I shouldn't, I don't blame him. "Ha ha! Of course you won't blame me, because you will...hate me later!" Harry thought to himself, and then Harry showed an "innocent" smile and said, "Thank you, thank you! Lockhart The generosity of Mr. Here I would like to thank him from the bottom of my heart. In addition! Gentlemen and ladies, my good friend Hermione Granger and another friend Ron Weasley's whole family are loyal to Mr. Lockhart Fans! On their behalf, I would like to thank Mr. Lockhart for his selflessness, and thank you for giving them a complete set of books! And Mr. Lockhart promised to give Hermione ten rare autographed photos. Lockhart's "charming" smile paused , while Hilbert and Ron below had "stunned" smiles on their faces."

"Ugh! Harry, what are you talking about?" Lockhart asked with a forced smile.

With a surprised expression, Harry said, "Didn't you just give us a complete set of books?"

Lockhart immediately explained: "Actually, I mean only..."

Harry would not give him a chance, and hurriedly said apologetically, "Did I misunderstand, the generous Mr. Lockhart just gave it to me?"

"Eh!" Lockhart was stunned again, and everyone's eyes were on him!
"Haha!" Lockhart laughed loudly, and said, "No! Of course not. Of course I meant to give it to you and your friends. Maybe I didn't make it clear just now! Sorry!"

Hilbert believed that Lockhart absolutely gritted his teeth and said these words, Ron booed at the right time: "Great wizard, generous Gilderoy Lockhart!"

"Clap!"

"Thank you! Thank you!" Lockhart continued to maintain his demeanor and waved to everyone in thanks!
"Great job, man! I'm so proud of you, you know? 'Shafiq School of Killing People' announces you've graduated!"
