I'm Malfoy's cat

Chapter 48 Gilderoy Lockhart

"Listen, I have a great idea. How about we go to the Muggle playground sometime? Last time I came back after not having much fun. Let's go together this time."

Draco looked at everyone and whispered.

"Muggle playground!" Ron's reaction was particularly intense, and he was a little excited in his nervousness, "We can't, Draco, you know, the secrecy law."

"Come on, I've been there a long time ago. As long as you don't tell me about this matter, if everyone keeps it secret, no one will know."

"Oh, let me think about it." Although he said to think about it, from his expression, Ron wanted to go.

"What about you?" Draco asked Harry and Hermione.

"Of course I'll go too, you know my parents are Muggles, they can come and pick us up." Hermione nodded in agreement.

"Me too." Harry nodded happily.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ron also said that he would go too.

"Very good, it seems that everyone has reached a consensus, we can meet at the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron after we go back and prepare." Draco happily made a decision.

Draco reached out and grabbed Abu who hadn't given up yet, "Abu, you'll have diarrhea if you eat it." Draco put Abu on Jemini's head, "We're going to go shopping, I'll get back when I get back I'll ask Dodo to make another one for you - a small portion of ice cream." Draco looked at the ice cream that was basically all melted into liquid, emphatically emphasizing the word small portion.

The five of them and two cats walked all over Diagon Alley in the next hour. Hermione bought a lot of parchment and ink. The two introduced a lot of mischievous gadgets, but no one bought them, but when they saw Percy in a dilapidated second-hand store, he was seriously reading a thick book, and no one would be interested Finished book - "How the Prefects Get Their Rights".

"It's a book about how a Hogwarts prefect finds a job after graduation. Percy has been worrying about it recently. He wants to work in the Ministry of Magic." Ron told his partner loudly They said, "He is a bit crazy, and his wish is to be the Minister of Magic."

"It's a good wish." Draco and Zabini smiled.

After waiting for an hour, they all came to Lihen Bookstore contentedly. Everyone looked at the bookstore surrounded by crowds on three floors and three floors outside. They looked at a sign at the door of the bookstore that read—Ji Dro Lockhart signed and sold his autobiography "I Can Be Magical" today from 12:30 to 4:30 pm.

"Hey, this is the person who wrote our books this year." Hermione looked at the crowd in surprise, most of them were older ladies, occasionally some little girls, and there was no male. "Is he so popular?"

"Just a clown." Draco commented.

Zabini nodded in agreement, "The last time he saw my mother, he was like a big fool, and his book is simply two styles."

"I think he may have some ability. After all, Hogwarts chose his book, right? If he really didn't have any other skills, he wouldn't use his book."

"Hogwarts even chose Professor Quirrell." Ron said unhappily: "My mother is very obsessed with him, and there are many books by him at home."

Hermione frowned and said nothing.

"Okay kids, come here and line up," Mrs. Weasley squeezed through the crowd and walked over with an excited face, "Today is really lucky, all the textbooks you bought can be signed by Lockhart. It's really great, don't be in a daze, come and line up."

Mrs. Weasley pushed everyone and was about to squeeze in to the place with the most people, which really scared Draco and Zabini, they both waved their hands quickly, "No need, ma'am, we are almost done buying. ""Me too."

"Oh." Mrs. Weasley said with some regret: "That's such a pity, it seems that you don't have Lockhart's signature."

There is no best.

Not only Draco and Zabini, but even Harry and Ron were complaining.

Draco watched helplessly as Mrs. Weasley had pulled him to the place with the most people. They both walked to the second floor of the bookstore. Jemini walked up to the second floor with Abu in two or three steps. He saw On the sofa in the lounge on the second floor, Lucius was sitting there, reading a book.

Jemini and Abu sniffed it together, and the stinky tofu smell on Lucius' body was no longer there! ! !There is no wood! ! !

Both Jemini and Abu felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They stood at the door blankly and stared at Lucius. Why did he send Mr. Notebook away!How can you do this? ! ! !

Lucius looked up at Jemini who was frozen at the door, and asked strangely, "Jemini, why are you staring at the door, come in quickly."

"Meow" Jemini let out a sad cry. He walked to Lucius's feet with his head down, jumped onto the sofa, rested his head on Lucius' lap, and looked at Lucius with a heartbroken look. .

"What's wrong with you?" Lucius looked at Jemini inexplicably, and Abu, who was also very depressed, didn't know why.

Draco and Zabini stood in the corridor outside the door and looked at the small gap in the middle of the downstairs surrounded by layers, where Lockhart was showing his iconic big white teeth. People kept taking pictures of him, and roughly pushed away the people around him. Draco knew the reporter, he was the one who worked for the Daily Prophet, and Lockhart was wearing a violet wizard robe, slanted Wearing a wizard hat, he was very happy to cooperate with the reporter in various silly poses.

Draco said he would think twice about using the color violet in the future.

Lockhart suddenly saw a young male face among countless women looking at him adoringly, and Harry was pushed to the front by the enthusiastic ladies without his knowing, and his clothes were squeezed It was messy, and the hair was messy, revealing the lightning scar on the forehead, this scar.

Lockhart froze for a moment, and then showed his iconic smile again. If he usually showed eight teeth, now he would show ten teeth when he saw Harry.

"Look and see, who is this, the famous Harry Potter!" Lockhart said loudly, and the people around heard Harry Potter's name and talked a lot. Harry stood there awkwardly, watching Lockhart rushed over in a few steps, pulled his arm forcefully, and walked back to the crowd. Lockhart held Harry tightly, and said loudly with excitement: "Harry Potter is coming to the bookstore today. I just want to buy my book, which makes me really happy." Lockhart smiled brightly and embraced Harry, "Smile better, we will definitely make the headlines."

Harry looked in front of the short reporter who was jumping around, pushing the Weasleys aside and busy taking pictures of them, his face was turning into a tomato, which made him very uncomfortable, he felt a little embarrassed .

After the reporter took several photos, Lockhart was finally satisfied and started to announce the next thing, but he was still holding on to Harry tightly, which made Draco and Zabini gloat upstairs She laughed, but Hermione kept frowning, she was extremely suspicious of Lockhart's character now.

Lockhart continued to hold Harry, and he announced loudly to the people around him: "Thank you Harry Potter for buying my book today, and he would never have thought that, as my loyal supporter, I would There is a big gift for him!"

Lockhart motioned to a clerk standing beside him, and the clerk immediately brought out a thick stack of books, and all the books that Lockhart borrowed were delivered to Harry's hands. Harry almost couldn't hold them due to the heavy weight. .

"I'll give Harry my complete set of books with my signature, free of charge." Lockhart continued to smile triumphantly, he finally let Harry go, and he took the opportunity to sneak back to the side of the Weasleys, Lockhart was excited He raised his hands high, "Once again, I have something important to announce. This year, Hogwarts students, you are blessed, because after the school starts, you will have a complete, living and magical me! This year I'm going to Hogwarts to be the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

There was warm applause from the crowd, and Mrs. Weasley's palms turned red, and several ladies even screamed, which made Draco and Zabini who were watching on the second floor turn black up.

"My God, I didn't expect it to be him." Draco hid his face unbearably, "Is it true that Hogwarts can't find a candidate?"

"Look out, Draco, he's only staying for a year." Zabini comforted with a bitter face, this Lockhart's reputation was notorious in the aristocratic circle.

The three of Harry, who finally squeezed out of the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but when they thought of seeing Lockhart at school again this year, their expressions were also not very good.

As soon as the three of them came out, they saw Draco waving to them on the second floor. They came to the second floor with a sad face, and Hermione said depressedly: "I've read his books before, but I didn't expect him to be so It's—" Hermione couldn't find an adjective for a while, maybe she thought the words she thought of weren't good enough to describe their future professor.

"My stomach hurts just thinking about seeing him at school anyway."

"Me too."

When Hermione was complaining about Lockhart, she accidentally saw Harry's exposed forehead. She pointed at the lightning scar in surprise. Harry was stunned for a moment, and quickly covered the scar with his hair. He usually tried his best to hide it. Don't look at this scar, otherwise there will always be people staring at it.

"Harry, is your scar getting lighter?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"I don't know, I don't look in the mirror very much." Harry rubbed his forehead and said unclearly.

Everyone looked at the scar on Harry's forehead, and they all said that it was indeed a little lighter than last year, but everyone didn't take it to heart, because it had existed for so many years and would not disappear.

The few people were dying until they left, and Jemini and Abu were also depressed because they lost the whereabouts of the diary, which made Lucius think they had a bad stomach.

When the signing was over, Lockhart was sitting in the lounge of the bookstore, opposite him was the owner of the bookstore, a typical fat businessman.

"Today's signing session was very successful. Many people bought your entire set of books, Mr. Lockhart. According to what we have discussed and the previous share, we will send the money directly to your treasury."

Lockhart smiled and looked at the bookstore owner, "No, no, Mr. Kit, I don't think the previous share is suitable for our transaction. You know, I will become a professor at Hogwarts this year. How do you You can still use the previous standards to measure my worth, but think about it, but there has never been a Hogwarts professor who came back to sign, although they are well-known, they are all guys who stick to the rules."

Boss Kit was a little nervous and took out a towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead, "Of course, I just don't know how much share Mr. Lockhart needs now? Forty-six or—three-seven?"

"One nine, I nine, you one."

"What?!" Mr. Kit looked in shock at Lockhart, who opened his mouth wide. "This is against the rules. I mean, it's different from the general authors and bookstores. It's never happened before!"

"Of course this is in line with the rules. That's because none of them are professors at Hogwarts. Don't make it seem like you don't make a lot of money. Let's count the benefits I brought you today." Loha He checked to see if there were any papers around, but this was the rest room, and there were only some books around, so Lockhart could only search on his body. He found a book in his pocket, and he took it out strangely. A diary with a black cover, with a somewhat worn-out appearance, Lockhart took it out in disgust, he didn't know how this book appeared in his pocket.

"Aren't there some paper and pens here?" Lockhart threw the book on the table in disgust.

"It's in the drawer in front of you."

Lockhart opened the drawer, but saw that there was only a quill in it. Mr. Kit explained awkwardly: "Maybe it was just used up today, and there was no new one."

Lockhart could only take the black leather book on the side and write down some of today's income figures on it. When he was thinking hard about calculating the final income, a series of figures automatically appeared on the book.

Lockhart looked at the plain and somewhat worn-out book in front of him in surprise, maybe he picked up something useful.

The holidays are always short for students. Draco and a few people went to the playground to have a good time a few days ago, and school started in a few days, which made everyone feel a little unsatisfied.

Narcissa actively packed Draco's luggage three days before going to the train station, which made Draco feel that his mother seemed to be eager for him to go to school quickly, but Lucius gave Draco A list of several books that Draco has never heard of. Lucius said that he must read all these books when he was in school, and if his report card is still so terrible next semester, He can only stay at home to study during the second grade holiday.

Draco took the book list depressed, he felt that the second grade was doomed to be gloomy before it even started.
