Chapter 76
Mrs. Granger said that they already knew how to exchange gold Galleons last school year. She asked Hermione and Harry to go to an ice cream shop and eat ice cream while waiting for them.
After all, the weather in Scotland in August is also very hot.
Harry said that it didn’t matter to Mrs. Granger.
He hadn’t used up the money he withdrew last semester.
As a little wizard, living in school, he really didn’t have much money.
In his cloth bag, there was still a lot of luxurious magical biological materials that he hadn’t sold.
Of course, these things were what he was going to take back to school and use when practicing potions privately. After all, it was not a big deal to always use Snape’s personal collection.
The two sat in a shop not far from Gringotts. Harry bought two cups of ice cream and handed one to Hermione.
Hermione took the ice cream and said excitedly,”After my parents exchange gold Galleons, we will go buy books. I heard that Professor Lockhart will also have a book signing event at Flourish and Blotts today.”
“As long as you ask him to sign, you can get a set of books for free.”
Harry, who was eating ice cream, paused for a moment:”Really? Does he often hold such book signings?”
“I don’t know, but other classmates sent me letters saying that it seemed to have been half a month. I guess it was to celebrate being able to become a professor at Hogwarts, and to give a little benefit to their fans!”Hermione guessed
“Half a month.” Harry narrowed his eyes. Wasn’t it half a month ago when the admission letter was mailed?
As soon as the admission letter was mailed, he went to Flourish and Blotts to hold a book signing event.
Professor Flitwick’s words came back to his mind again. His magic level was very poor in the academy, but after leaving the academy, his magic level quickly improved to the level of being able to become a professor at Hogwarts.
How could he be so much like Quirrell.
Just the opposite of him, one was very strong, but just gave up, and the other was very poor, but became powerful.
Hermione took a bite of ice cream and shivered with the cold. Seeing that Harry didn’t speak or eat the ice cream, she asked curiously,”What’s wrong?”
“Well, it’s okay, I just feel that this Lockhart is a bit like Quirrell.” Harry took another bite of ice cream
“”What?” Hermione couldn’t help but shouted.
But she quickly reacted and whispered to Harry:”Why do you say that?”
“Professor Flitwick told me some things about him, but these are just my speculations. But if it is really what I think, he held this book signing event just for me.”Harry said calmly
“Is there any danger?” Hermione looked worried.
“There are so many people watching me, and he may not be able to hurt me, don’t worry.” Harry comforted Hermione.
Hermione could only nod helplessly, but she was already wary of Lockhart.
After Mr. and Mrs. Granger came back, Harry and Hermione took them to Flourish and Blotts.
At this time, Flourish and Blotts was crowded with people. The bookstore had already used spatial extension, but it was still crowded.
Most of them were Lockhart’s fans.
There were also some students or wizards who came to buy books.
Some reporters were still taking pictures.
At this time, Harry and Hermione saw a familiar person.
“Ron.” Harry called out. Ron, who was standing aside, waiting boredly, turned around when he heard the familiar voice, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face.
“Let’s go, Ginny, Harry and Hermione are here too.”Ron said to the girl next to him.
She had red hair and delicate features, and looked very cute.
When she saw Harry, her fair face blushed a little, and she followed behind Ron.
“”Ron, why are you standing there? Why aren’t you buying any books?” Hermione asked curiously.
“My mother is waiting in line inside.” Ron pointed to the long queue.
“Just queue up once and get Professor Lockhart’s signature, and you can get a complete set of books for free.” Ron said with a blush. He already had several sets of books in the cauldron he was carrying.
“”Oh, Mrs. Weasley is so clever.” Harry nodded and praised.
At this moment, Harry felt an excited gaze resting on his face.
Probably someone was watching at the door. Lockhart, who was soon surrounded by the crowd, suddenly said happily:”I feel the breath of a hero. People like me are coming.”
“It’s Harry Potter!”
Hearing this name, the crowd suddenly quieted down and looked around, who is Harry Potter, where is Harry Potter?
Suddenly Lockhart jumped up from his chair and shouted happily:”Isn’t this Harry Potter?”
The crowd made way for him, everyone was looking at him excitedly, wanting to know who Harry Potter was.
Lockhart walked out of the crowd, came to Harry, and stretched out his hand, wanting to embrace him….
Looking at the woman in front of him wearing a beautiful blue robe, with undisguised desire, greed and burning gaze in her eyes,
Harry took a step back, just avoiding his hand.
“What do you want to do?”Harry looked coldly at the overly enthusiastic Lockhart.
Professor Flitwick was right, the man in front of him was a fool.
Harry could not sense any threatening aura from him, and he was even less threatening than some magical creatures that died at his hands.
How was this guy chosen by Dumbledore? Did he really choose him based on his reputation? Didn’t he personally investigate him?
He thought of Quirrell.
A hint of murderous intent could not be concealed in Harry’s cold eyes.
It was like a bucket of cold water with ice cubes poured on Lockhart’s head, which made him feel a chill in his heart and calm him down.
He showed his white teeth, and the angle of his smile was perfect:”Excellent wizards are always attracted to each other, Harry, let’s take a picture together, I believe this will definitely be a classic worth remembering.”

Harry sneered:”If the excellent wizard you are talking about is yourself, I dare not be with you. After all, Professor Flitwick has told me a lot about you.”
The smile on Lockhart’s face froze.
Dean Flitwick, is he so familiar with Harry?
“You’ve been waiting for me for a long time, right? You’ve been organizing a book signing since the day the owl started delivering mail, and you even specially arranged someone to wait for me at the door. Do you want to find me as soon as possible?”Harry said casually.
“How, how is it possible?”Lockhart laughed dryly:”As expected of a Gryffindor, you have a sense of humor.”
Harry took a step forward, and Lockhart thought that he had changed his mind and wanted to take a photo with him, so he opened his arms and wanted to hug him.
But a finger was pressed against his heart.
