Hogwarts Scholar System

Chapter 80 Conflict

An hour later, they walked towards Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. They were not the only ones who went to the bookstore.They were surprised to find a large group of people crowding outside the store, all trying to get in.

It wasn't until they saw a big banner pulled up upstairs that Gilderoy Lockhart's autobiography "Magical Me" was being sold signed by Gilderoy Lockhart from 12:30 to 4:30 pm today, that they knew what was going on.

"We can meet him in person!" Hermione exclaimed. "I mean, he wrote almost all the books on the list!"

Hermione has become a little fan of Gilderoy Lockhart. Seeing that the excited look on her face is no different from those crazy star-chasing little fans in the 21st century, Maple is a little unhappy for some reason.

What's so great, if they really want to fight, Maple feels that she can beat him right now.

Isn't that just bragging? Even if you really did the things in the book, so what? The labor and management just killed a wave of vampires who were ready to eat children!

The crowd seemed to be mostly made up of witches around Mrs. Weasley's age.A tired-looking wizard stood at the door and said: "Ladies, be quiet! Don't crowd! Watch out for the books!"

Speaking of which, Mrs. Weasley is also one of Lockhart's biggest fans. She has several Lockhart books at home.Although she also knew how to use magic to get rid of garbage pests, she always habitually read Lockhart's book and followed the instructions in the book.Even though what was written in the book was not much better than what she usually did, she still enjoyed it.

Although Lockhart doesn't have any real material, he is still a capable person.

In addition to the forgetting spell that he is proud of, he is also very good at attracting readers' attention, grasping the mentality of fans, and mobilizing their interest.Although he does not understand the theory of fan economy, he has indeed made a lot of money by leveraging the destructive power of fan economy.In the secular world of the 21st century, this guy might be able to thrive and become a big v blogger, traffic anchor or even an entertainment star.

A queue stretched from the door to the back of the bookstore, where Gilderoy Lockhart was signing books.Harry, Ron and Hermione got through the cracks in the crowd. They each grabbed a copy of "Breaking with the Ghost" and sneaked to where the Weasley family was queuing up.

But Maple didn't go with them. He didn't want to cheer up the guy he didn't like.

"Oh, it's great that you're here," said Mrs. Weasley.She was breathing rapidly and patting her hair. "We'll see him soon."

Mrs. Weasley looked excited, and Hermione's cheeks were flushed.

Gilderoy Lockhart sat behind a desk, surrounded by large photographs of himself, faces winking at the crowd, flashing dazzlingly white teeth.The real Lockhart wore robes as blue as the forget-me-nots that matched his blue eyes, and he had a smile on his face.

His smile was a scream-inducing temptation for fans, but Maple found the fake smile disgusting.Because this guy is a big liar and has attracted the attention of all the beautiful witches around him.

Maple was very angry, and the consequences were serious. It seemed that Lockhart, a big liar, might be in trouble before he went to Hogwarts.

A grumpy little man held up a large black camera and jumped back and forth taking pictures.Each time the flash flashed blindingly, streams of purple smoke spewed out of the camera.

"Get out of the way," he yelled to Ron, backing up to get a better angle. "This is for the Daily Prophet."

"That's amazing!" Ron said, rubbing the painful instep of the man's step.

You are amazing and amazing!

This is probably Ron's mentality. He would say sour grapes if he can't eat them.

There was a strange sound among the fans, and Lockhart immediately noticed it.Instead, it was the fans who were crowded in the crowd. Although Lockhart kept smiling at them, he didn't really notice any one of them.

These guys always care about the fans as a whole, because this is the source of his wealth, this is his customers, and his God!But don't expect him to treat any one fan differently. As for those who think that his admirers notice him and see him in a special way, they are suffering from paranoia, because he treats everyone equally!

Lockhart noticed Ron and then Harry.But Hermione, the only fan among the three of them, he turned a blind eye to.

"Isn't this Harry Potter?" Lockhart shouted excitedly.

The crowd moved out of the way, murmuring excitedly.Lockhart rushed forward, grabbed Harry's arm, and pulled him forward, and the audience burst into applause.Harry's face burned, and Lockhart held his hand for the photographer to take the picture.The short man pressed the shutter button frantically, and thick smoke drifted towards the Weasley family.

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

Since you want to make headlines, let’s make it happen!

While the photographer kept pressing the shutter button, Maple quietly released his physical black bat patronus.

The Patronus followed Maple's command and quietly passed through the crowd and came to Lockhart's back.She quickly came to his neck from behind, stretched out her ugly mouth and kissed Lockhart.

Then the Patronus Bat disappeared immediately, but all this was recorded by the camera, but Lockhart was unaware of it, still immersed in the dream of taking a photo with Harry and making him headlines.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Lockhart said loudly, waving his hands to silence everyone. Lockhart, who had no idea that he was about to make a fool of himself, announced that he would become a Hogwarts wizard in order to make his reputation even louder. The school's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor also gave Harry a copy of his entire set of books.

This guy thought that getting the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts would allow him to prove his talents to his fans.What he didn't know was that the position in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was cursed and had to be changed every year, so as long as he was a wizard and not afraid of danger, he could take it.

In fact, Dumbledore has not yet officially decided on the candidate for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at this time, because he is still trying to find other suitable candidates before the start of school. The mature Dumbledore may have already seen Lockhart. He was very reluctant to this candidate, but with Lockhart's announcement, everything was a done deal.

Lockhart has no self-awareness at all. He does not know the dangers of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. He is also worried that Dumbledore will rebel and refuse to give this position to him. He is stupid enough to use this method to defeat Dumbledore, leaving Dumbledore unable to do so. Regret.

The crowd clapped and cheered, and Harry managed to push his way out of the crowd, out of the center of public attention, and to the wall, where Ginny was standing next to her new cauldron.

"These are for you," Harry poured the book into the cauldron and told her vaguely, "I'll buy it myself."

"You must like this, Potter?" said a voice he could never mishear.Harry straightened up and looked face to face with Draco Malfoy, who had his usual mocking smile on his face.

"Harry Potter famously," said Malfoy, "cannot even enter a bookstore without becoming front-page news."

"Don't be ridiculous, he doesn't want that!!" Ginny said.This was the first time she spoke actively in front of Harry and glared at Malfoy.

"Potter, you got a girlfriend!" Malfoy drawled. Ginny blushed, and Ron and Hermione crowded over, each holding a stack of Lockhart's books.

"Oh, it's you," Ron looked at Malfoy as if he saw something disgusting on the soles of his shoes, "You must be surprised to see Harry here, huh?"

"What surprised me even more is that I actually saw you entering the store, Weasley." Malfoy retorted, "I guess your parents will be hungry next month in order to buy those things."

Ron blushed, threw the book into the cauldron, and was about to rush towards Malfoy.Harry and Hermione grabbed hold of his clothes from behind.

"Oh, it seems like we haven't seen each other during the holiday. Malfoy, you seem to have gained a lot of abilities!" Maple and the Weasley brothers came over together, with a wicked smile on their faces and said: "That's really the best thing, this summer vacation I also learned a lot of new spells, but I haven’t had a chance to practice them yet. It just so happens that I lack an opponent. When we get back to school, we can have a good competition."

Maple said, twirling her wand in her hand, Malfoy's face suddenly turned pale, and the Weasley brothers and Ron laughed.

"Children, what happened?" Mr. Weasley squeezed over and said.

"Ah, Arthur Weasley!" It was Lucius Malfoy, with a sneer on his face, but also sullen hatred because Mr. Weasley had lost a large sum of money.

"I heard that my brother is very busy with work, so many checks. I think they paid you overtime?" Lucius said, putting his hand into Ginny's cunt and pulling it from Lockhart's new shiny In the middle of the work, I pulled out a newer "Basic Transfiguration Guide".

Although the book is not very worn, it is still second-hand.Mrs. Weasley bought Ginny new wands, witching robes, and cauldrons, but she still saved as much textbooks as she could.

"Oh my God," Lucius said in disbelief with a deliberately exaggerated expression of surprise on his face: "You no longer use the rags you pick up from the garbage for your children! Are you rich, Weasley? ?”

"It seems that you have finally figured it out, Weasley, and know how to get some benefits for yourself from the seizures!"

"Mr. Weasley still doesn't care about your dirty money." Maple stood up and said, "Here comes the Transfiguration textbook!"

"It doesn't matter if the textbook is older, the important thing is the knowledge in it! But Mr. Malfoy, we are surprised that you are still standing here instead of Azkaban. It seems that you have spent a lot of money to settle it. How about it, does it feel good to have a large amount of wealth at home, does it hurt your body?"

"Draco, who is he?" Mr. Weasley and his family laughed, feeling relieved by Maple's words. However, Lucius's cheeks twitched and he lowered his head and asked his son Maple who was beside him.

"My name is Maple Alibasi, the person who controls the Obscurus!" Before Draco could speak, Maple revealed her identity directly and generously.

"Boy, you." Although Lucius didn't want his son to provoke the wizard who controlled the Obscurus, he didn't allow the other party to directly bully him. Maple's direct sarcasm by name immediately made him unable to help himself. I wanted to threaten him and teach Maple a lesson.

"Upside down Golden Bell!" But Maple was faster than him, but when he cast the spell, he retracted his hands and wand into his sleeves, leaving only the tip of the wand exposed from the cuffs.At the same time, after hanging Lucius Malfoy upside down in the sky, he praised Mr. Weasley loudly: "Mr. Weasley, your magic is great, such a guy deserves to be beaten!"

"Yes! Dad, you are awesome!" The Weasley brothers immediately understood and shouted exaggeratedly.

Malfoy's cheek twitched, that's okay!How shameless!

Hermione looked worried, but Harry and Ron were excited to see Malfoy's father suffer.

Snape and Lucius were from the same era, so he naturally knew this spell.After reciting the counter-curse and falling to the ground, Lucius immediately recited a curse at Maple to counterattack.

"Armor for protection!" As an important general under Voldemort, Lucius was given a Horcrux by Voldemort, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Maple cast the Iron Armor Curse and was unharmed, but he knew that this was because Lucius did not dare to cast powerful black magic in public. However, he did not use the Super Iron Armor Curse, so this did not prevent him from attacking Lu Xiu. Hughes mocked.

"Mr. Malfoy, it seems that your so-called noble blood cannot allow you to break through my defense given by Mr. Weasley!"

"Draco, let's go!" Lucius' face was about to explode with anger, but now he had nothing to do with Maple and could only leave in anger.

Seeing his father in this state, Malfoy became even more afraid of Maple, and secretly made up his mind to stay away from this guy when he got to school.

Amid the cheers of the Weasley family and Harry, Maple gained another four points of academic mastery points.

But after a while of feeling refreshed, Maple suddenly felt as if she had missed something.

When she thought about it, Maple couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Lucius seems to be taking this opportunity to put Voldemort's diary to Ginny, use the diary to frame Ginny, and let Mr. Weasley's daughter, who has been promoting Muggle protection laws, open the secret room and kill Muggle-born wizards. .But now all of this has been disrupted by Maple, which makes Lucius even more sad than being insulted.Similarly, Maple was also unhappy. After changing the plot without authorization, she actually forgot to find a way to snatch the diary from Lucius Malfoy.

This is bad, I don't know who Lucius will give the diary to next.
