Chapter 132

Soon they headed to Flourish and Blotts.

It was crowded with people.

Everywhere there were people who wanted to go in and visit. A large banner was hung outside.

Gilderoy Lockhart.

Signing copies of his autobiography, "Magical Me."

"Ladies... don't push... don't push..."

"Lockhart!"

"He's so handsome!"

"He also wrote many books, it's said they are all his true experiences!"

"I want to see him so badly!"

The surrounding witches were almost like they had gone crazy. Mrs. Weasley was pushing hard to get inside. She said with a blushing face: "Let's push inside quickly, that way we can see him!"

Led by Mrs. Weasley, they soon reached the front of the crowd. Gilderoy Lockhart was sitting behind a table.

He was surrounded by his large photos.

He himself was wearing sky-blue robes that matched his blue eyes. Every time he winked at the people around him, there were many screams from the witches.

A man in a pointed wizard hat was taking pictures of him with a large camera, and incidentally said to Ron: "Move, move, let me through!"

This lively scene made Ron sigh: "He looks really amazing!"

His sigh was heard by Lockhart.

Lockhart glanced at him, then shifted his gaze to Harry.

After looking for a while, he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Isn't this Harry Potter? Where is your brother? Where is Darren Potter?"

The crowd cleared a path for him.

Lockhart walked over excitedly, patted Harry on the shoulder, grabbed Harry's arm, pulled him to the front, and asked.

"Darren... he's still outside, I can't find him for a moment..."

Harry said hesitantly; Darren had been pulled to the very front by Mrs. Weasley just a moment ago.

But Darren saw a witch who was about to cry from anxiety to see Lockhart, so he gave up his spot to that witch.

Darren also said he was going outside to help others, to see if any ladies needed help. As a result, he didn't know where he was now.

"So that's how it is, he must have thought that he, an ordinary student, was occupying Lockhart's headlines, and felt very sorry, so he left!"

"No... my brother is..."

Harry didn't finish, but was interrupted by Lockhart, who shook Harry's shoulders vigorously.

Not caring what he said, he directly said: "No, Harry, you don't need to explain, the great Lockhart would never hold a grudge against a child.

I once won the Order of Merlin, Second Class, I wouldn't care about these things!"

His words drowned out Harry's other sounds.

Harry kept saying that Darren had won the Order of Merlin, First Class, which was much

more impressive than Lockhart.

But Lockhart suppressed his voice completely.

"Harry, you smile so beautifully. We can be on the front page together!"

Lockhart revealed his white teeth.

Harry wanted to struggle, but was still held tightly by him.

Lockhart even acted as if they were on extremely good terms in front of everyone.

"Young Harry Potter, and his brother, Darren Potter, came to Flourish and Blotts to buy my complete set of books..."

He pulled Harry even tighter.

He also posed in several positions for people to take pictures.

"But what they don't know is that they will get something even more important than books... that's right, it's me.

This year, I am honored to announce that I will be serving as the professor for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course at Hogwarts..."

Lockhart talked on and on.

By the time Harry finally escaped from his hands, it had been a long time. When he prepared to wipe his sweat, he realized he was already holding a full set of Lockhart's books.

He stuffed all the books to Hermione, because the Weasley family had already been given new books by Paqi, and only Hermione hadn't bought them yet.

"You must like this, right? Potter?"

Just as Harry was giving the books, Malfoy's voice came. He turned around vigilantly.

Sure enough, it was Malfoy.

"What did you say?"

"What did I say? I said the famous Harry Potter must love being on the front page, right?"

Malfoy said sarcastically.

Then, the next moment, he heard an angry voice say: "Malfoy, you're bullying my brother again, I've said it before, if you have the ability, argue with me directly!"

[Ding...]

"Darren, Darren Potter! It's you again, do you think I haven't been paying attention to you because I'm afraid of you?"

Draco shouted angrily.

He was clearly Darren's real brother, yet Darren always stood in front of that Scarhead!

"When he was taking pictures with that Lockhart, he didn't even think about bringing you along, are you willing to be his little follower?"

Draco said indignantly.

Although he was very jealous that Harry was in the newspaper.

But he also saw that when Harry was in the newspaper, he didn't think about calling Darren.

"He must be afraid that you'll steal his spotlight!"

Draco concluded at the end.

These words of his almost drove Harry crazy.

He didn't think like that at all; at first, he really hadn't found Darren. Later, he realized Lockhart wasn't much of a person, so he wanted even less for Darren to come over and suffer.

How did he become a vain person in Malfoy's mouth? What if Darren misunderstood?

It was just that he didn't have time to speak, when he saw Darren clench his fists angrily and say: "My brother didn't think like that, Malfoy, if you say that about my brother again, I'll smash your nose with my fist and make you stay at St. Mungo's before school starts!"

[Ding, Saint Father Value +100]

[Ding, Saint Father Value +100]

[Ding...]

Darren accepted these rewards and glared at Malfoy.

Malfoy snorted; he refused to talk to this bastard Darren. Darren was just a big idiot, why should he argue with him?

So he looked at Ron unhappily again.

Since he couldn't find trouble with Scarhead right now, he would find trouble with Ron.

"Weasley, looking at the pile of books your family bought this time, I'm afraid it has already emptied your house, right?

I think, to buy these things, your family will have to go hungry, poor Weasley, right?"
