Chapter 137 Encounter at Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore

"You're right, son!" Jessica's body burst with infinite vitality. She clenched her fists and said, "I'm going to send an invitation to Celestina Warbeck. If I can invite her, I will definitely shock them for the rest of their lives." !”

"Ah!" Rogge was a little surprised. It costs a lot of money to hire the witch singer once. Mom is too generous!

Jessica hummed "You use magic to take away my heart" and asked Roger to help write the invitation letter.

Travis Manor will hold a "Moonlight Feast" at sunset this month, and we sincerely invite you to come. That night, the Moon Mirror Hall was brightly lit and played magical sounds. Irises bloomed in the hall, surrounded by candlelight. We have also prepared a gorgeous dance for our guests, where you will have the opportunity to dance with wizards from various magic families.

Sincerely, The Travis Family

"Mom, can I invite friends?"

"No problem." Jessica asked Rogge to stand up. "You've grown taller again. I'm afraid the dress I prepared for you last year won't be used anymore."

"Then I'll go to Diagon Alley and order another set. I just have to buy some books."

"When you say that, I just remembered that Lockhart will be signing a new book tomorrow. Sophie and I asked for leave just to see him."

"Really, if I had known he would become your professor, I should have prepared an extra copy of last year's raffle prize."

"Tomorrow?" Rogge was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that school was about to start again.

Although Lockhart is an unlearned wizard, there is no one in the magic world who is better than him in terms of image management and character creation.

He looks handsome and talented, with a bright smile. For witches, such wizards are too lethal, and the key is that they are still single.

I heard that Lockhart was going to release a new book, and the Flourish and Blott Bookstore was packed early in the morning. The witches are holding a large pile of Lockhart's works, looking forward to the fan meeting in a while.

"Erwin, aren't there any second-hand books on Lockhart?"

"That guy is so popular, and the content in the book is so practical. Who will sell his book? The price of the new book is too high. If there is stock, it will be sold early." Erwin looked at Rogge warily and started to fight. Be extremely alert to avoid being taken advantage of by this kid.

"Roger, you don't even blink when you buy an owl. This is a crappy store, so you insist on bargaining with me?"

"It's fun."

"Heh, I'd rather not have this kind of fun." Erwin only gave him a 10-knot discount and proudly put the galleons in the drawer.

"Hermione?" Roger held the bag and greeted the figure in the crowd.

Hermione heard someone calling her, and when she looked back, it was Roger waving to her.

"Hi, Roger, how was your summer vacation? Have you received all the letters I sent?" Hermione smiled happily and walked forward.

"Not bad. Hello Mr. Granger, Mrs. Granger. I'm Roger, nice to meet you." Roger quickly greeted Hermione's parents, cleverly avoiding the letter question.

He didn't go back to London all summer, and Jessica never mentioned it at all.

"Hello, Roger. Hermione often talks about you at home. She says your Potions class is great."

"Where is it, Mom!"

"We are going to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. Do you want to come with us?" Mr. Granger asked friendly.

"It's such an honor. Mr. Lockhart is a famous figure in our wizarding world. He will serve as our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year."

"Really!" Hermione screamed excitedly, "Oh my God, I can see him every day in school from now on."

Lockhart was so charming without revealing his disguise that even Miss Know-it-all became his little crush. Maybe when Rogge grows up for a few more years, he can be killed.

As soon as she entered the bookstore, Hermione dragged her mother to queue. She wanted to meet and talk to her idol. As for Roger, who is that? The bad boy who doesn’t even reply to letters!

Mr. Granger and Roger looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"Lockhart, is the wizard star?" Mr. Granger asked curiously, not understanding why the witch was crazy about him.

"How should I put it? You can compare him to Uncle Ya in the wizarding world."

"Oh, Freddie, the lead singer of our band Queen!" Mr. Granger's eyes were full of regret, even with tears in his eyes: "He is our superstar!"

"Roger, I didn't expect you to know about Queen!"

"Real music has the power to infect everything, but it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to go to his concert." Rogge was very sorry that Uncle Ya left this world on Christmas Eve last year.

"Mama, just killed a man..." Roger suddenly sang Bohemian Rhapsody. Mr. Granger looked at the little wizard in front of him in disbelief and hummed with him.

In the noisy Flourish and Blotts bookstore, the witches are cheering for Lockhart. In the corner, two men, one large and one small, were reminiscing about the legend.

"Hello, are you Mr. Granger?" Arthur came over wearing a felt hat, with ashes on his face, and the Weasley family's iconic red hair exposed under the felt hat.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Mr. Granger seemed unhappy to be interrupted.

Arthur quickly introduced himself as a Muggle office worker and liked Muggle-related things.

"Mr. Granger, your technology is amazing. I have also bought Muggle items and taken them apart for research. But so far, I still haven't figured out how they work." Arthur said excitedly, Granger He looked at Roger awkwardly.

He didn't notice Granger's expression and said excitedly: "I have seen a magical gadget. As long as a square called a tape is inserted, it can play music. It doesn't need to be plugged in and can be taken everywhere."

Arthur gestured, showing how to put the tape in.

"There is also something called an electric razor, which can automatically shave people's beards very quickly, and the blade will not cut people. I took it apart and found that there is no magic in it. How do Muggles do this? …”

Rogge took a deep breath. As a listener, he felt like he was about to dig out three rooms and one living room.

Out of politeness, Mr. Granger could only nod and smile. He raised his wrist to check the time and saw why Hermione hadn't asked Lockhart to sign.

"I also bought a car, which is very useful..."

The commotion at the door of the bookstore relieved the two of them of their embarrassment. When Arthur saw his son about to beat Malfoy, he immediately rushed over.

"Hey, Weasley, the Ministry is very busy recently! There are so many checks, I wonder if the Ministry of Magic will give you overtime pay!" Lucius came from the door and said to Arthur through gritted teeth.

When he saw the textbooks in Ginny's cauldron, his eyes sparkled, and he taunted Arthur: "If you don't even have the money to take care of your family and buy books for your children, what's the use of being a pure-blood scum!"

Lucius said as he took out the second-hand book from the crucible and looked at the father of these children with disdain.

"Who is that?" Mr. Granger asked curiously.

"Draco's father." Hermione held a stack of books and listened to their argument curiously.

"Well, that's right. A very realistic pure-blood wizard." Rogge nodded.
