Chapter 10 Slane Wants to Gain Loopholes in the Contract
·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
Looking at Mrs. Weasley's enthusiastic eyes, Douglas really couldn't refuse.
Douglas originally planned to go to the Leaky Cauldron, and Percy obviously had no interest in shopping.
Along the way, I asked Glass about his travel experience in the past few years.
When passing Lihen Bookstore, I saw a lot of people around the door from a distance.
And above the bookstore, there is a large banner hanging.
'Gilderoy Lockhart signs autobiography 'I'm Magic' for sale today 12:30-4:30pm'
The whole team seemed to be of Mrs. Weasley's age.At the door stood a weary-looking wizard,
Saying it over and over again:
"Ladies... Ladies... Be quiet and please don't be crowded..."
Douglas saw Slane standing in front of him through the moving heads.
So he took Percy and squeezed through.
Putting one hand on Slane's shoulder, he asked with a smile:
"I thought you would check the manuscript in the office..."
Startled, Slane turned around and found that it was Douglas.
"How can it be, this is a valuable learning opportunity, what if I want to hold this kind of signing event one day.
Look at that Jarvis next to Lockhart, that's his editor...
However, I thought you didn't like to join in this kind of fun, but you can come and take a look to learn from the learning experience.
I think if you hold a signing event, it will definitely be bigger than this... You don't know how many fans you have... What's wrong? "
Although Slane lowered his voice behind, it was obvious that Percy, who had been by his side, heard some of it.
Seeing a pair of surprised eyes, Douglas quickly interrupted Slane's seduction.
Introducing the two to each other:
"This is a good friend of mine, Mr. Slane.
This is the Weasley boy, Percy. "
But Percy was so surprised that he didn't bother to say hello to Slane.
Excitedly asked directly:
"Does the boss write a book? What's the title? Why haven't I read it?"
When Slane heard Percy's address, he glanced at Douglas in surprise and blinked.
Douglas rolled his eyes at the mischievous guy, guessing that he must have done it on purpose.
He wanted to pretend to accidentally reveal his identity without violating the contract.
This will satisfy his desire to hold various large-scale signing activities.
If I knew it earlier, I would have made an unbreakable oath.
The most important thing is that Douglas didn't take it seriously. He used to worry that he was too famous in the magic world.
It would be troublesome if he was targeted by the resurrected Voldemort.
But now he has become a professor at Hogwarts.
It will be a matter of time before Voldemort.
The premise is that he can accumulate enough [-] points before the end of the school year.
Lift that curse.
Douglas lowered his head, smiled and said to Percy:
"This is not the place to talk, I'll ask Douglas to send you a whole set of my books later.
I guess Bill and Charlie didn't give you the book I gave them.
But keep it a secret for me! "
Douglas did not speak, but raised his head and looked at Lockhart who was surrounded by large photos of himself.
And Percy seemed to think of something, and suddenly stared at Douglas's back with wide eyes.
Seeing Lockhart in those magic photos, he blinked towards the crowd in unison, and showed his dazzling white teeth.
And look at the real Lockhart, in a blue robe that looks like a forget-me-not flower, matching his blue eyes just right.
Douglas elbowed Slane beside him:
"You think it's nice of me to be like this?"
Slane glanced sideways at Douglas and asked suspiciously:
"You don't think this looks good?"
Douglas suddenly felt that he should continue to write books in a waistcoat.
He didn't want to be like Lockhart one day, like a peacock with its tail spread.
Then Douglas squeezed through the crowd to the counter of the bookstore.
I bought a set of first-grade textbooks and returned them.
Slann looked at the textbook in Douglas' hands and asked curiously:
"Who are you buying textbooks for?"
Before Douglas could speak, Percy said in surprise:
"Boss, you bought this for Ginny, right? You lied to mom?"
Douglas handed the book in his hand to Percy, then patted him on the shoulder earnestly and said:
"Percy, it looks like I've forgotten all the little stories I told you before.
This is not considered cheating, but just another way of saying it, so that the other party can accept the gift with peace of mind. "
Slane snorted beside him.
"Hmph! Politicians' means, don't teach this child badly.
No wonder you can write those novels, you know a lot, it's a pity not to be the Minister of Magic..."
While the two were chatting, they soon saw Mrs. Weasley running over with Ginny in a hurry.
On the other side, Arthur led a couple from the direction of the Leaky Cauldron.
Douglas bid farewell to Slane, who was still observing and studying.
Squeeze out of the crowd with Percy.
After seeing Douglas and Percy, Mrs. Weasley hurriedly tossed Ginny to them.
Then I took a copy of "I Can Be Magical" from the bookshelf.
Soon he joined the book signing team.
Percy also put the book in his hand into the cauldron led by Ginny.
At this time, Arthur and the couple also came over.
"Hey, Douglas, are you done with your work? I still want to have a good chat with you. Just now Mr. and Mrs. Granger told me a lot about cars in the Muggle world."
Before Douglas could speak, Ginny stood aside, lifting the cauldron.
He quickly said to his father:
"Dad, Professor Holmes gave me a set of textbooks..."
Percy also said:
"By the way, Dad, Mom invited the boss to dinner and congratulated him on becoming a professor at Hogwarts."
Mr. Weasley was not surprised by what his son called Douglas.
I heard it when I was at the Burrow.
Glanced at the new textbooks in the cauldron, then heard that Molly had made arrangements.
Hastily nodded:
"Of course, of course..."
At this time, the couple on the side asked cautiously:
"Excuse me, excuse me. Just now Mr. Weasley said you are a professor at Hogwarts?"
Mr. Weasley slapped his forehead and said with a smile:
"I forgot to introduce you, this is the new Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Douglas Holmes.
These two are Mrs. and Mrs. Granger, oh, they are the parents of Miss Granger at the gate of Gringotts just now.
They're Muggles..."
Arthur Weasley knew Douglas' life experience, so he didn't shy away from the latter sentence.
Looking at the Granger couple who pretended to be calm in the wizarding world, Douglas winked playfully:
"Hello, don't be nervous, I'm actually Muggle-born, just like Granger."
Hearing Douglas' explanation, the Grangers heaved a sigh of relief.
Although accompanied by Mr. Weasley all the time, they could still feel the malice from some wizards.
When I heard that the other party was the same as my own daughter, an ordinary person became a wizard, and she also became a professor at Hogwarts.
Immediately became a lot more friendly.
