Hogwarts: I act like a boss in front of Hermione

Lockhart could only make up a plausible reason.

He thought he could solve this farce perfectly, but when he confidently showed his standard woman-killer smile, something unexpected happened.

Fred and George asked him questions with imperceptible smiles on their lips. The book fans around him showed disappointment after hearing what he said.

"Mr. Lockhart, your book "Walking with Ghouls" does not mention that you were injured at all, and "Holiday with a Dominatrix" does not describe the plot of you jumping over a stone wall!"

Molly Weasley stood up on tiptoes and slapped Fred and George on the head one by one, and quickly snatched the two books from their hands.

When she said this to Lockhart, her voice trembled very much, and her eyes were full of disappointment. Lockhart had gone from being a friend of women to a veritable liar in her mind.

Tears flowed from Molly's eyes unconsciously, and she took out a worn but very clean handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Fred and George saw their mother was so sad that she was crying. They gently patted Molly's shoulders to express comfort.

Everyone was disappointed with Lockhart, and some of the emotional ones had anger instead of disappointment in their eyes, resenting the man in front of them for deceiving their feelings with false stories.

"It's not like that! It's not like that! I...I..."

Lockhart began to get anxious. If it were in the past, he might have found a perfect reason to solve this public relations problem, but today his state was a little bad. He could only watch everyone's disappointed eyes turn into sharp swords. It entered his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

"Big news. Gilderoy Lockhart, the famous adventure novelist and recipient of the third-level Order of Merlin, is actually a story tailor. He was exposed by three children! Bentley, stop taking pictures! Let's hurry up. Let’s go back and sort out the manuscript, we can’t let the naysayers get ahead of us!”

The reporter from the Daily Prophet, who was firmly on Lockhart's side a second ago, pushed Lockhart back from the edge of the cliff the next second. He called out the name of his colleague who was taking pictures, asking him to hurry up and talk to him. He leaves here.

He wants to go back and write what happened today into a headline that will definitely shock the entire wizarding world. The road to promotion and salary increase to become a pure-blood witch has already appeared in front of him.

He must seize this opportunity quickly!

"We are naysayers and don't care about this scandal. Old Mr. White, I need a set of Hogwarts first-year books." The reporter from the Daily Prophet looked at him with disdain and squeezed through the crowd to leave the bookstore. Luna's father, Lovegood, finally saw Mr. White, the owner of Flourish and Blott Bookstore, coming out of the back room.

"Oh! Lovegood. Is your daughter going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry already?"

Old White actually wanted to come out to see what was going on, but when he came out of the back room, he was met by his old friend Lovegood.

……

"Listen to my explanation!"

"Liar! Bah!"

"I don't want the book I gave you!"

"I'm really blind. I actually read his book without thinking!"

"That's right, that's right, if you think about it carefully, there are a lot of mistakes in his book."

"..."

Because after the Daily Prophet reporter summarized what just happened in the most concise sentences, most of the book fans who came to Lockhart angrily threw their books in front of Lockhart and refused to listen. No matter what explanation he gave, he walked out of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore without even thinking about it.

Lockhart looked at the dozen or so people still in the bookstore and wanted to make a last-ditch struggle, but he suddenly found that these people treated him like air.

They simply came in to buy books and were not interested in whether Lockhart was a liar.

……

"Noel, how did you do it? Looking at the liar's desperate expression at the end, I feel much better now!"

In the Leaky Cauldron, on a hidden round table in the corner that no one cared about, Noel and Hermione each held a glass of juice and looked at Lockhart's exposed scandal through the perspective of an owl that fell in Flourish Blossom Bookstore. Hermione covered her head. Shut up and chuckle.

"It's nothing. I passed the loopholes in Lockhart's book to the girl's mind, and put a wisdom curse on Lockhart through the familiar. Fred and George were purely accidental! Wait until they return to Hogwart. From now on, I will add a chicken drumstick to both of them!"

In order to watch the live broadcast, Noel temporarily recruited an owl from an unknown family that just wanted to rest after delivering a letter and became his familiar. Let it fly into Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and land on a bookshelf, acting as his and Hermione's "eyes".

The images transmitted to them by the owl were directly transmitted into their minds, so they did not have to worry about the wizards around them noticing anything unusual. Moreover, the communication between him and Hermione was through mental power and each other's minds, so outsiders could not hear their conversation just now.

However...Hermione's magical laughter still attracted the attention of several wizards, but unfortunately it only lasted for a few seconds. After all, the two young wizards laughing without any scruples did not attract them. No longer watching Hermione's magical laughter, these wizards returned to their previous chat topics.

For example, replaying the Quidditch match between England and Ireland yesterday.

……

Knowing that Lockhart's ability to deceive people was as good as that of a pyramid scheme master, Noel cast a curse on Lockhart through the eyes of an owl. The function was simple, slowing down the speed of his brain's thinking.

"Noel, how many kinds of magic do you know?"

Looking at Lockhart's dazed look through the owl's eyes, Hermione felt her high mood return.

She now finally understood Noel's joy in bullying Draco.

That kind of happiness based on the pain of others!

"Just a few hundred million. The ocean of magic is too huge. I can only take a handful now."

Noel leaned back in his chair and drank juice leisurely. All the items they wanted to buy today had been bought. Because Mr. and Mrs. Granger had a class reunion to attend today, poor Hermione could only go to Noel's house to wait for her parents. arrival.

……

"Harry, why do we still buy Lockhart's books when we know he is a liar? Looking at these books, I feel a little uncomfortable in my chest!"

Ron walked behind his brother, holding thick books in his hands, looking at Harry next to him with the same expression as his with a face like a bitter gourd.

"If we didn't buy these books, we might not even be able to attend the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Ron, I can understand why you feel uncomfortable. I feel the same as you now. I feel uncomfortable too. Didn't you see that I took a photo with him just now! Merlin’s beard!”

Harry looked up at the sky with a dying expression. At this time, he was even more depressed than Ron. Harry lamented in his heart as he hoped that the Daily Prophet would not publish a photo of himself and that liar Lockhart tomorrow.

"Merlin's beard, everything went wrong today, and you actually met the Malfoys and his son."

Ron also followed Harry's example and raised his head and sighed.

……

In the evening, a group of uninvited guests came to 12 Grimmauld Place, London.

Seeing Kreacher cooking a table full of delicious food, Hermione thought it was her parents who rang the doorbell. She didn't let Kreacher open the door, but quickly ran to the door herself.
