Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 186 There is a free one, why should I spend money on it!!

“Not a penny spent!”

“Sent for nothing!”

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were taken aback.

“You see, this book of I Who Can Magic is Gilderoy Lockhart’s autobiography, and it has his signature on it.”

Toby took out a book and opened the cover of the book, the first page was Gilderoy Lockhart’s handwritten signature, the font was very good, probably Gilderoy Lockhart signed too many famous training.

“It’s amazing to have Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart’s signature! Hermione was very envious. ”

As for Harry and Ron, they didn’t feel much, and even Ron had a nasty feeling for Gilderoy Lockhart, because of this person, their Weasley family would cost a lot of money this year.

“In fact, you can also get Gilderoy Lockhart’s autographed book, and you can get a free book with just a little trick.”

Jamie said.

“Is this true, Jamie, how can we get to Mr. Lockhart’s autographed book?”

Hermione asked hurriedly.

Harry and Ron on the side also stared at Jamie tightly, Harry is just that, he is a rich second generation, let alone a set of books, even if it is dozens of sets of books, hundreds of sets of books, he can afford it.

The one who wanted to get free books the most was Ron, their family’s financial situation was already very bad, Gilderoy Lockhart’s books were very expensive, if only one book, they were actually asked to buy a whole set of books.

“If you want to get free books, hope is in Harry.”

Jamie said.

“Harry, do you know that Gilderoy Lockhart?”

Ron hurriedly asked if Harry knew the guy named Gilderoy Lockhart, maybe he could get a few free sets of books, which would save his family a lot of money.

“I don’t know, I don’t know the guy named Gilderoy Lockhart, Jamie, why do you say that?”

Harry wondered why Jamie said he wanted to get free books, hope was on him, he didn’t know any Gilderoy Lockhart.

“First of all, I want to ask you a question, what do you know about Gilderoy Lockhart?”

Toby took a bite of ice cream before asking.

“I know that Gilderoy Lockhart is an internationally renowned person and author, a recipient of the Order of Sir Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and a five-time winner of the Wizarding Weekly’s Most Glamorous Smile Award.”

“He has also written many books, such as Gilderoy Lockhart Teaches You to Get Rid of Home Pests, and The Gilderoy Lockhart Series”

Hermione is almost precious about Gilderoy Lockhart, and it seems that Gilderoy Lockhart is her idol.

“It seems that Hermione, you really know Gilderoy Lockhart very well.”

Toby said that to know Gilderoy Lockhart’s affairs so clearly and in such detail is an ironclad fan.

“Of course, Mr. Lockhart is really powerful.”

Hermione rightfully said, mentioning Gilderoy Lockhart with a sparkle in her eyes.

As for Harry and Ron, they had long been confused by Hermione’s words, and they couldn’t tell what was and what they were.

“So do you know the character of Gilderoy Lockhart?”

Toby asked again.

“Mr. Lockhart’s character?”

Hermione couldn’t answer for a while, she didn’t know Gilderoy Lockhart’s character at all, only that he had written so many books and received so many honors, he must be very powerful.

“He should… It’s a very serious person, right? Like Professor McGonagall, or like Professor Dumbledore? ”

Hermione said tentatively.

“Wrong, it’s completely different, Gilderoy Lockhart’s personality is very narcissistic and very coquettish, he has a thick skin, likes to listen to all kinds of good things, and likes to make friends with famous people.”

Jamie said.

“Jamie, how can you say such bad things about Mr. Lockhart!”

Hermione was a little angry, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart was her idol.

“What I’m saying is the truth, adults have two sexes, they are one side in front of people and one side behind people, Hermione, you only know him from books, but do you really know Gilderoy Lockhart?”

Jamie said with a shrug.

“I…”

Hermione opened her mouth to retort, but found that she couldn’t say anything, she really only knew about Gilderoy Lockhart’s deeds from books, but she had never seen Gilderoy Lockhart with her own eyes.

“So, Harry, if you just go to the Lizzy Bookstore to buy a book later, Gilderoy Lockhart will definitely pull you to take pictures with him, because you are very famous in the wizarding world.”

“Gilderoy Lockhart likes to befriend people like you the most, and when the photo is taken, he will generously give you an autobiographical book signed by his own hand.”

“Then, you just need to say a few nice words to him, such as a compliment or something, and you can ask him to give you a set of books, and he will definitely not refuse.”

“Then, you say that you have a few friends who are also his book fans, and hope that he can also send them a few sets of books, and you can continue to say some kind things to him.”

“Gilderoy Lockhart will definitely not refuse, so won’t you all get free books…”

Toby said.

“But… That’s not good, right? ”

Harry was a little hesitant, he always felt that it was not good to take advantage of others for nothing, he had money now, he could buy it completely.

“Don’t be silly, Harry, do you know how much money Gilderoy Lockhart makes by selling books, let alone tens of thousands of gold gallons, it’s just a few sets of books, which is a small meaning for him.”

Jamie said that Gilderoy Lockhart’s books are bestsellers, and the price is not cheap, not to mention that they are very popular in the Eagle Country, even in Europe, they sell very well.

“Tens of thousands of gold gallons! Merlin’s beard! ”

Ron exclaimed, his eyes widening.

He had never seen so many gold gallons, tens of thousands of gold gallons, it should be such a big pile of gold coins, in the Weasley family’s vault, there was only a poor gold gallon, and the rest were silver sico and tonat.

“Besides, there are free, why spend money on it, whose money is not blown by the wind.”

Jamie said.

“Harry, I think this is a good idea, you can give it a try.”

Ron said to Harry on the side that if Harry could really get a few sets of free books, it would be better.

“Harry, I know you’re not bad at money, but if you consider Ron, their books, Gilderoy Lockhart, it’s a very big expense for their family.”

Toby quietly told Harry that although the Weasley family was poor, the people in their family were also dignified, just like Ron, although very moved, but did not ask Harry to ask them for books.

That’s really good friends.

Harry thought of how good the Weasleys had been to him, and he thought of seeing the Weasleys’ vault, and felt that Toby was right.

The people of the Weasley family were very friendly to him, and he wanted to help the Weasley family as much as he could.

“Oh, Ron, I think I’ll give it a try, but I don’t know how, Toby, can you teach me?”

Harry said.

“Of course, it’s very simple, as long as you do what I teach you to do, go and say, then you will succeed.”

Toby said with a smile.

Coming out of the ice cream shop, the group walked towards Lizin Bookstore, and came to Lichen Bookstore, which was still overcrowded, mostly some middle-aged witches, even if they had obtained Gilderoy Lockhart’s book, they did not want to leave.

“Harry, go ahead, start your show.”

Toby said to Harry with a smile.

“Harry, come on!”

Ron cheered Harry on as well.

“Okay, then I’ll go.”
