206. Tom's Diary(1/2)
Xiaomeng has always turned into a human form. After she went out with Lin En, she automatically regarded Lin En as a "mount" and turned into a hamster and lie on his shoulder and followed him in the diagonal alley.
After buying the parchment paper and ink that she needed, Lynn and Hermione saw Harry and Ron teasing a book in Percy's hand in a trash shop opposite, causing Percy to snort and glar at them.
On the streets of Diagon Alley, they gathered together again.
"Percy has always had great ambitions." Ron secretly told them, "He wants to be the Minister of Magic in the future."
Meanwhile, they met the Weasley twins and their friend Lee Jordan at a magic joke shop, who were buying a lot of prank fireworks.
After wandering around Diagon Alley for an hour, they set out towards Lihen Bookstore, preparing to meet with Mrs. Weasley and the others.
There were many people outside Lihen Bookstore. They were about to line up in, and there was a big banner outside that read:
Gidro Lohart signed and sold his autobiography "My Magical" from 12:30 to 4:30 pm today.
Hermione grabbed Lynn's arm with excitement: "It's the first time I've seen him! Hogwarts's Dark Magic Defense Classes are all his books. We can ask him in person if he is coming to Hogwarts to be a professor this semester."
"Being a professor, especially a professor of the Dark Magic Defense class, is not a good thing." Lynn muttered in a low voice, and then they lined up at the end of the line together, where the Weasleys and the Grangers were also here.
Most of the crowd seemed to be witches of Mrs. Weasley. They held up various autobiography written by Lohart in their hands and kept looking into the bookstore. There was also a bookstore clerk who was tired and maintaining order in the crowd outside.
Mrs. Weasley seemed very nervous, and everyone could notice that her breathing became rapid.
"We'll see him in a while."
Harry and Ron curled their lips, disregarding Mrs. Weasley's excitement, while Hermione was chatting with Mrs. Weasley about the contents of Lockhart's autobiography. Mr. Weasley seemed to have not had a good time with the Granger in the bar, and was still asking them about the difference between gasoline engines and diesel engines.
Without paying attention to the bookstore, Lynn stood at the end of the line and looked at both sides of the street in Diagon Alley, and soon he discovered the target he was looking for.
It was Lucius Malfoy and his son Draco Malfoy.
They had just walked into a crucible shop not far from Lihen Bookstore, as if they were preparing to buy a new crucible for Little Malfoy.
Obviously their next stop is Lihen Bookstore, and they must come here to buy Hogwarts' textbooks this year.
A faint smile appeared on Lynn's face.
There was always a day when the long line was scheduled, and fewer and fewer people were ahead of Lynn and the others, and they were finally able to see Lohart from afar.
All around him were his posters, each of them was blinking and smiling at the crowd, while Lockhart himself was sitting at a table to the book to sign his fans.
But if someone familiar with Lockhart observes carefully, you will find that something is wrong with Lockhart today.
His smile was far less greasy than the ones on the poster, but he seemed a little vulgar. He was obviously very young, but his back never stood up straight, and he was always slightly bent.
However, Lockhart rarely comes into contact with people too much. Most people know him from his books. There are so many fanatical fans here, but none of them can see something wrong with Lockhart.
"It's amazing."
A reporter who was taking pictures of Lockhart stepped on Ron's feet and complained in dissatisfaction.
Lockhart, who was in front, heard the movement here and looked up.
Skipping the others, he first glanced at Lynn in a vague way, then turned his gaze to Harry Potter, and immediately he jumped from the chair in surprise.
"Isn't this Harry Potter?"
Lockhart pulled Harry to his side and asked the reporter from the Prophet Daily to take a group photo for them. It was obvious that Harry seemed very uncomfortable with the attention of so many people.
Just as Lockhart held Harry's shoulder and announced that he would serve as the professor of the Dark Magic Defense class in Hogwarts this year, Hermione looked at Lockhart with a suspicion, then turned to look at Lynn.
Lynn blinked at her: "What's wrong?"
"You've seen Lockhart before?"
"Of course not." Lynn denied very naturally, "How could I not tell you if I knew him?"
Hermione nodded: "Yes."
Seeing that Hermione seemed to have no doubts, Lynn then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
This little girl is so alert. No wonder she can take over the mess of the British Ministry of Magic in the future. With this carefulness, it is impossible for ordinary people to compare with.
Of course, I also blame this "Lordhart" for not paying attention to it. Why do you watch him when you are idle?
Lohart and Harry had already taken the last set of photos and gave him a complete set of their own works before letting Harry go.
Harry had just been lit up with the flash, making him dizzy. Back at Weasley's house, he poured all the books that Lockhart gave him into Ginny's new crucible.
"I'll give all these to you, I'll buy them myself." He said vaguely.
"You must like this very much, Porter."
At this time, the Malfoy and his son also walked into the bookstore. Draco began to quarrel with Harry, while Lucius began to mock Arthur.
“Weasley.”
"Malfoy!"
Soon their conflict escalated, and Arthur and Lucius fought directly in the bookstore!
George and Fried cheered their fathers around, while Lynn looked at them speechlessly.
"Hey, hey, why don't you help your dad rush up and hit him at this time? Will Mr. Weasley blow Malfoy's head with a punch?"
Only then did the twins wake up and rushed in and join the battle.
Ron and Harry also wanted to keep up, but Lyn stopped him.
"Looking at Draco, you can't participate in such adult fights."
Compared with the Malfoy family, the Weasley family has no money and no power. The biggest advantage is that there are more people, and now is the time to best utilize this advantage.
After George and Fried joined the battle, the situation became completely one-sided.
The Weasley twins grabbed Lucius' arms one by one, and Arthur grabbed his hair with one hand and punched him hard in the face.
Then, before Arthur could get the second wave of hands, his big hands hugged his waist and separated him and Lucius.
"This is a public place, pay attention to the influence of gentlemen." Hager said after separating the two of them.
Arthur did not suffer any major losses. He was just punched by Lucius on the lips before George and Fried came to help, and there was a little skin breaking.
Lucius looked very embarrassed. Arthur's punch made him very hard, and half of his face swollen. He was holding the old textbook he had taken from Ginny to humiliate Arthur. There was a vicious light in his eyes, and he stuffed the textbook back into Ginny's arms.
"Little girl, hold your book, this is the best thing your dad can give you!" He waved to Draco, and the two rushed out of the store.
The scene in the bookstore is still a bit chaotic.
Lockhart is trying his best to show his nature, jumping up and down to let the reporter of the Prophet Daily take a photo of himself and Arthur who had just fought. Hagrid is helping Arthur to sort out his robe and persuade him not to pay attention to such people, while Mrs. Weasley is plucking the ears of the twins and teaching them a lesson that they should not get involved.
At this moment, Lin Neng breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to Ginny with a relaxed smile on her face, and took out the "Guidelines for Beginners" that she had prepared before and had used in the first grade.
"Can I use my book to exchange? I wonder if Fried and the others have ever told you. I have done well in Hogwarts and I have also taken many useful notes in this book."
Ginny, who was about to comfort her father and brother, was a little strange about Lynn's actions, but she did not refuse Lynn's request and exchanged textbooks. She not only listened to her two twin brothers at home, but even Harry said in her usual chat that Lynn was a veritable god of learning in school.
Ginny handed over the "Beginner's Transformation Guide" that Lucius had just taken away in her hand to Lynn. After Lynn took it, he flipped through the contents inside, and then put it in her pocket as if nothing had happened.
After experiencing this incident, of course, everyone no longer had the mood to continue shopping. The Weasleys and the family took Harry through Floelu fans, and the unclear Grange couple in the scene just now also took Lynn and Hermione to leave Diagon Alley from the Broken Cauldron Bar and returned to their car.
"It's really bad!" Mrs. Granger's angry voice trembled a little, "I didn't expect there was such a bad person in the magic world."
Lynn's goal today was achieved and he was in a very good mood. He comforted: "Don't take it to heart, no matter where you are, you will have scum, especially in places where you are closed to the magic world."
Hermione saw Lynn and Ginny's behavior of changing books. She always felt that today was strange, as if everything had been arranged.
"Why did you exchange textbooks with Ginny when you were in the bookstore?"
Hermione asked when she had something to do, without hiding it.
Obviously, it was impossible for Lynn to tell her the truth.
"It's nothing. I just want to help Weasley's family. I don't need my textbook anymore, so I'll just sit and exchange it with her."
"Then why don't you give it to her directly but change it?"
"That will give people a feeling of giving. Sometimes even if you want to do something for the sake of others' good, you have to be considerate of others' feelings."
Mrs. Granger inserted into their conversation and praised: "Lynn is right and considers things very well. Hermione, you need to learn from him."
"I know~" She dragged a long tail sound because she always felt something was wrong with Lynn today.
Mr. Granger parked the car at the door of Lynn's house and helped move all Lynn's things into his house before leaving.
As soon as Lin En entered the house, he saw a hunched and slightly slutty old man sitting on his sofa drinking tea.
As soon as Leon saw Lynn, he immediately stood up and said, "You are back."
"Your performance today is pretty good. Thank you for your hard work, you made a special trip here." Lynn did not become arrogant because of the respectful attitude of the saints towards him.
Leon did not have the usual irreconcilability in front of Lynn in front of Simon and Smith. This was not just because Lynn was a descendant of Grindelwald. After the Abros unblocked incident, he seemed to see the shadow of Grindelwald in Lynn. He involuntarily used his respect for the Dark King on Lynn.
"There is nothing to work hard or not. This is why I am causing this situation, so I should come here."
Leon has been with Grindelwald for a long time and knows very well what should be asked and what should not be asked.
Regarding this trip that Lynn asked him to come and pretend to be Lohart to hold a signing party, Leon consciously did not ask much about the reason. After coming to Lynn's house to say hello, he moved away from here with a phantom.
As soon as Xiaomeng got home, he jumped and lay on the sofa and shouted that he was tired. Lin En took her back collar and moved it to the side to make a free space for herself to sit down.
"You got off the floor once a day today. Why are you tired of shouting here?"
