Chapter 109
Chapter 110: At Flourish and Blott Bookstore.
When they passed Florin Fusco’s Ice Cream Shop, they bought some ice cream.
Not far away, I met Sirius again
“Sirius! Harry came to him excitedly and asked curiously:”When I wrote you a letter yesterday, didn’t you say you couldn’t come?””
Sirius’s condition is much better than the past few days. He has obviously overcome his sadness, but his eyes are still a little haggard.
He smiled and said,”I thought about it later and felt that I couldn’t miss this trip to Diagon Alley.”
This was the first time he bought school supplies for Harry, and it was very meaningful.
The addition of Sirius expanded the team. He and Harry got together, pointing at the goods displayed in the shop window as they walked. Give pointers
“Nimbus 2001!”
There was a brand new and exquisite broomstick placed in the window of the Quidditch boutique. Harry was lying on the glass of the window, staring at it intently.
“Want it? asked Sirius
“Uh-huh”
“Buy it if you want it,” he said proudly, turning to look at Ives,”Aves, if you want, I can buy you one too.”
Avis shook his head quickly. His Nimbus 2000 was still enough.
After receiving his answer, Sirius looked at Ron again, who was full of expectations,”Where’s Ron?”
Ron hesitated for a moment and shook his head to say no.
Although he really wanted a Nimbus 2001, he was very self-aware. Ivis was kind to Sirius, but he had nothing to do with Sirius, so it was useless. Ron still understood the principle of receiving salary.
However, Sirius seemed to have promised to buy him a new pet, and Ron was looking forward to it again.
Harry followed Sirius into the store, and the Nimbus 2001, as the latest flying broomstick, The price was expensive, so it was natural to check carefully.
The remaining people followed Mr. Weasley and wandered aimlessly in Diagon Alley.
They bought some ink and parchment in a shop, and jumped and played in the store. When they visited the Magic Joke Shop, they also met Lee Jordan. After getting permission from Mr. Weasley, George and Fred also left the team and went with Lee to select prank props in the joke shop.
Soon they came to the agreed meeting time , Ives and the others started to walk towards Flourish and Blott Bookstore.
A large group of people crowded outside Flood and Blott Bookstore.
At first, they just thought it was because school was about to start, so they didn’t pay attention. Until they got closer, they saw the upstairs of the bookstore. A big banner of:
“Gilderoy Lockhart, autographed for sale of his autobiography Magical Me.”
The large group of people outside Flourish and Blotts Bookstore were almost all witches, ranging from teenage wizards to witches in their decades. Their expressions were very excited, and they wanted to squeeze in to see Lockhart with their own eyes.
A tired-looking wizard stood at the door to maintain order. He shouted loudly:”Ladies, be quiet…don’t crowd…be careful with the books.”……”
A winding queue stretched from the door to the back of the bookstore, where Gilderoy Lockhart was signing books and selling books. However, the table where Lockhart was signing was surrounded by a group of people, so the situation inside was not very clear.
Hermione was a little speechless,”There are too many people.”
She was worrying about how to squeeze into the bookstore to buy the textbooks required on the book list.
Ives pointed to the other side. The small door on the side of the bookstore was open. Obviously, you can ent
er the bookstore through there.
“Let’s go,” Ron said hurriedly. These fanatical witches gave him a bad feeling.
In the bookstore, the clerk kept picking up exquisite books and handing them to the crazy fans.
Avis walked up and asked:”Hello Sir, we want to buy the new books designated for the second year of Hogwarts.”
“A second grade book?”The anxious clerk replied as he picked up Lockhart’s book and handed it to the witches.
Then he took the time to point in a certain direction,”Except for Lockhart’s book, the rest of the teaching materials are there. As for Lockhart’s books, I’ll bring them to you later. How many sets do you want?”
“two sets……”Ivis was about to answer, but then thought of the Weasley family, and changed his words:”No, eight sets.””
“I see.”
After receiving the response, the group turned and walked towards the place he just pointed out. There were all the teaching materials neatly arranged according to grade, except for the Lockhart books requested on the book list. When
Ivis came back, he saw eight The set of books had been placed on the floor, and the clerk was still busy. When Ives used the levitating spell to take away the pile of books, he heard the clerk complain softly:”Why does Hogwarts designate Loha?” Use special books as teaching materials? Merlin’s beard, I’m tired, destroy it……”
After waiting in the bookstore for a while, the large group quickly gathered together.
Ives gave five sets of books to Mrs. Weasley and left the other set with Harry.
“Lockhart’s books are all here, and as for the other books,” Ives pointed to a corner of the bookstore,”they are all there.”
Soon, they selected the books and paid for them.
It is worth mentioning that the Weasley family never bought any other textbooks except Lockhart’s books. Ives figured out the reason after a little thought: The teaching materials at Hogwarts have not changed much for decades. Ron and the others can definitely use the books left by Charlie and the others.
After buying the books, Mrs. Weasley happily ran to the back of the line for the book signing. With an excited face, he said,”How lucky that I happened to bump into Mr. Lockhart’s book signing!”
“My mother is a huge Lockhart fan,” George explained Mrs. Weasley’s star-chasing behavior to Ives and the others.
“She was overjoyed when she learned that Lockhart was going to teach at Hogwarts.” Fred imitated Mrs. Weasley’s voice and said sharply:”Mr. Lockhart is a very famous author. He has won the”Wizard Weekly” Most Charming Smile Award five times, is also a third-level medalist of the Order of Merlin, and an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic Alliance… You must learn from him!”
Elvis, Harry and Hermione were all amused by their two little creatures, and even Sirius looked like he was holding back his laughter.
Only Ron Percy looked horrified.
George and Fred were still imitating Wei. How Mrs. Sly admired Lockhart, completely unaware that the object of their ridicule was standing behind them
“George, Fred!”
An angry voice came from behind them, and then Mrs. Weasley grabbed the back of the two fateful necks.
“Sorry, Mom!”The twins were frightened and immediately apologized and admitted their mistake.
“Ha ha ha ha……”
Even Sirius couldn’t hold back his laughter now.
Their laughter stood out in the queue, and everyone in the queue looked back.
Lockhart also looked at the end of the team curiously. The next second, he recognized Ivis and Harry.
……
Thanks for the support!
