Chapter 56 The Greasy Man

Chapter 56 The Greasy Man
Lu Yunkai pulled Daphne and Astoria, and followed Ron and the three of them. After huddling in the crowd for a while, he rushed to the front of the line and sneaked into the bookstore.

The small Lihen Bookstore is already overcrowded, and the six boys and girls are a little confused in the crowd.

"Ron, where is your mother?" Hermione was squeezed a little irritable.

"In the front! She came to line up very early. She's from that Girod's fan." Ron stood on tiptoe and looked ahead while pushing people in the crowd.

"Ron!! Here!!"

Suddenly a very thin female voice sounded.

Lu Yunkai and the others followed the voice and saw a little girl with the iconic red hair of the Weasley family was waving her hand on tiptoe.

"Ginny!!" Ron also waved his hand, and then led the crowd towards him.

"Why did you come in here? Didn't I say that I bought all the books for you?"

Beside, a fat, but kind-looking middle-aged woman complained to Ron.

"The books opened by Hermione and Lu Yun are also bought. The line outside is too long, so I'll bring them in." Ron nodded to the woman.

"Hello, Mrs. Weasley, and... hello! Ginny!" Lu Yun greeted Ron's mother and the little girl beside him with a smile.

He still has memories of these two people. Last year at King's Cross Station, when he and Harry were pushing the cart with their faces blindfolded, it was this kind woman who taught them how to reach nine and four points The third platform.

And the little girl named Ginny was also by her side at that time.

"Brother Lu Yunkai, hello!" Ginny smiled and nodded to Lu Yunkai, "During the summer vacation, Ron often told us about you."

"Hi, Lu Yunkai!" Mrs. Weasley responded with a smile, "This is..."

"This is my classmate, Daphne, and her sister Astoria." Lu Yunkai introduced the two girls he was leading to Mrs. Weasley.

"Hello, Mrs. Weasley." Daphne pulled her sister and greeted quickly.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the front of the queue.

"It's started! It's started!"

Hermione on the side looked excited.

And Lu Yunkai also obviously felt that Daphne started to hold his hand hard.

He followed everyone's gaze to the signing desk at the front of the team.

A middle-aged man with blond hair appeared.

With a...greasy smile on his face.

Extremely greasy.

Lu Yunkai really couldn't make himself like it.He even had the urge to punch this man.

However, he noticed that the women around him, from Mrs. Weasley to Hermione, Ginny and Daphne, looked at the man with nympho faces...

Especially Daphne's appearance suddenly made Lu Yunkai feel very uncomfortable.

The public enemy of this man!How handsome is he?Neither gentle and beautiful enough, nor masculine and strong.

From the corner of Lu Yunkai's eyes, he saw Ron who was also speechless beside him.

The two looked at each other tacitly and shook their heads.

The signing activity officially started, and the team moved forward. Today's Gerald Lockhart's signing standard is not high, as long as you buy his complete set of works, you can get his signature.

And in this year's Hogwarts book list, all of Lockhart's books are textbooks, and the category is Defense Against the Dark Arts... Naturally, everyone including Daphne and Hermione has the opportunity to get a set of Lockhart's books. special autograph.

Lu Yunkai didn't pay attention to this matter when he read the owl's letter before. Now that he thinks about it, the person who drafted this book list, that is, the person who succeeded Quirrell as the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, was probably related to Mrs. Weasley. Same, are you all fans of this Lockhart?
It's hilarious.

Because Mrs. Weasley came early, it didn't take long before it was their turn.

Mrs. Weasley handed a large stack of Galleons to the staff of the bookstore, and the staff skillfully counted and placed the four stacks of packed books in front of Lockhart who was sitting on the signing table.The man with the greasy smirk on his face flicked the quill in his hand and signed a signature. The same action was repeated four times, which was indeed a bit chic.

Then he looked up and smiled and handed the book to Mrs. Weasley who was looking at him with a nympho face.

"Thank you for your support," Lockhart said.

Even if Lu Yunkai who was standing next to him didn't like this greasy middle-aged man, he had to admit that his voice was indeed charming.

"I'm your fan." Mrs. Weasley said excitedly.

"I am very honored."

And then a signature smile.

Lu Yunkai felt a little sick to his stomach, maybe this smile was measured with a protractor, and then practiced thousands of times in front of the mirror, right?So standard.

Mrs. Weasley may have bought enough to get a chance to chat with Lockhart, and she also behaved like a star-struck girl.

She didn't feel ashamed, it was Ron who was ashamed...

Finally Mrs. Weasley's part was completed, but she still stood by, with a look of nostalgia on her face, unwilling to leave for a long time.

However, it is not convenient for the staff of the bookstore to chase her away, because the next Harry is also with her.

Similarly, a stack of Galleons and a stack of books were placed in front of Lockhart, and his signature was signed in one go.

Only this time, Lockhart, who looked up to thank him, saw the black-haired boy in front of him...the lightning scar on his forehead.

This legendary scar, unique enough, made the smirking man forget his smile for a moment.

It's just that he immediately came back to his senses, and then smiled even brighter.

"Oh! Isn't this the famous Harry Potter!" He smiled and stood up, "I didn't expect you to be my book fan too!"

"I'm not..." Harry looked embarrassed and wanted to explain that he was only here to buy textbooks, but Lockhart stood up and pulled him to his side.

Lockhart didn't speak, just glanced to the side, and the photographer who had been standing by the side rushed out with a wink, clicked, and took a photo.

Harry was in the dark the whole time, not knowing what was happening.

"Although I really want to share with you more about how to deal with black magic, there are still many fans of my book waiting." Lockhart smiled and said to Harry, "We still have a lot of time to get along in the future. Will personally explain to you all your curiosity about my legend."

Harry was so dazed this time that he didn't know how to refute or refuse, and he walked down with a stack of books he had just signed in his arms.

And beside her, Hermione, who had already looked forward to and excited, had rushed forward...

It's just that Hermione obviously didn't get the same treatment as Mrs. Weasley and Harry.Because she didn't buy enough, and she wasn't famous enough.After a few simple dialogues, it was Daphne's turn.

Daphne received the same treatment as Hermione, although she wanted to take a photo with Lockhart, but was rejected.

The people who finally bought all the books were about to leave when they saw two blond men, one tall and one short walking into the bookstore.

Almost everyone was taken aback.

Lu Yunkai looked at those two people, a little embarrassed.

"Isn't this Weasley, and the famous Potter? Don't you feel very happy just now when you were welcomed by others?"

With such an old hermaphrodite, Lu Yunkai didn't know anyone other than Malfoy.

"What's none of your business? Are you jealous of Harry?" Hermione interrupted angrily from the side.

"I'm jealous of him??" Malfoy jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on.

"Draco." Lucius, who was standing next to him, held down his angry son, "Keep your manners, especially in front of Muggles who are not polite."

"..." Malfoy glanced at Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai nodded slightly towards him, then shook his head again.

Malfoy fell silent.

And Lucius looked at Harry who had been a little confused by the side.

"We finally meet, Harry Potter." Lucius was holding the cane in his hand, and gently brushed Harry's bangs, revealing the lightning scar on his forehead, "I hope your Scars bring you luck."

"..." Harry didn't know how to answer this question.

"Harry didn't rely on luck!" Ginny said to Lucius angrily.

"...Second-hand robes, old books?" Lucius picked up an old magic textbook from Ginny's bag, glanced at it, and put it back again, "Weasley?"

"Children, let's go." Mrs. Weasley's face had long since disappeared from the girl Huai Chun who had just looked at Lockhart, and coldly reminded the group of people following her.

Then he walked out of the bookstore without talking to Lucius.

Harry and Ron followed immediately.

Lu Yunkai slowed down his steps a little, borrowed a position, and looked at Lucius at an angle that no one else could see.

Lu Yunkai nodded slightly.

Lucius showed a smile that Lu Yunkai didn't quite understand.

Walking out of the crowded bookstore, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you buy other things?" Hermione was disgusted by Lucius just now, and she was obviously not in a good mood, so her tone was not particularly smooth when she spoke.

"Not yet. How about you?" Daphne took the initiative to answer.

She felt that Lu Yunkai next to him seemed to have something on his mind.However, the tone of her answer was not very good, because she also noticed that Lu Yunkai was staring at Ginny who was following Mrs. Weasley in a daze.

"We bought them all," Harry replied.

"I'll buy them all too." Hermione also replied, "Then..."

"We're going to buy other things." Daphne nodded, and glanced at Lu Yunkai who was stunned there. "Yunkai, do you still want to accompany me to continue shopping?"

"Ah?...Ah! Of course!"

"Then let's go!" Daphne pulled Lu Yunkai and left directly outside the bookstore.

"……What's wrong?"

Lu Yunkai didn't come back to his senses a little bit, but found that Daphne who was pulling him seemed to be surprisingly strong.

He was still thinking about Lucius' smile just now in his mind.Why does it look like a trick has succeeded?

That feels weird.

She also didn't notice that Daphne beside her had a dark face.

"Brother-in-law! Hurry up and apologize to my sister!!"

Astoria, who hadn't said a word in a crowded place just now, pulled the corner of Lu Yunkai's clothes and reminded him softly.

"Huh? Why?"

"Ah! You were so close to Ginny from the Weasley family just now, my sister is jealous!"

"... How can I have it!!"
