Chapter 120 Ominous Premonition
·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
In addition to the exams this week, the deans of each college counted the lists of students who stayed in school for Christmas.
George, Fred and Ron all chose to stay in school for the holidays.
Ron thought everyone was worried that Mrs. Weasley would teach them a lesson when they got home.
After all, the twins attacked the professor at the beginning of school, and Ron drove a speeding car to school, which caused Mr. Weasley to be censored by the Ministry of Magic.
Unexpectedly, another reason for Gemini is that they have accumulated a semester's research plan, because the confinement has been delayed infinitely, so they have to take advantage of the three-week vacation time to study it in school.
So only Ginny and Percy in the Weasley family chose to go home for the holidays.
Especially after Percy received a Christmas invitation from Mrs. Weasley to Douglas on Friday.
The three of George were even more fortunate that they did not choose to go home for the holiday.
After all, no student likes home visits, except good students.
While Douglas received the invitation from Mrs. Weasley, he also received a notice from Slane and a poster.
That's right, another damn notification.
There is a photo taken by the Daily Prophet on the poster at that time, and the text below it.
From novelist to Hogwarts professor
Lecture by Professor Holmes
Momoran Books Company Prophet Daily Lihen Bookstore
Time: 12:24 noon on Christmas Eve (December [-])
Address: Lihen Bookstore on the north side of Diagon Alley, London
Ten years of classics, reprinted from the collection......
Let us follow in the footsteps of Professor Holmes and experience another magical world...
[Douglas, see you at Lihen Bookstore at ten o'clock in the morning on December 12th! 】
Douglas pouted, and put the poster aside casually.
Sure enough, the poster appeared on the front page of the Daily Prophet the day after Douglas received the letter.
The students were also excited, and they came to ask Douglas if he could hold a signing event at the school.
Douglas chuckled.
Crazy? He held a book signing event at school. It took him a long time to sign the books that were confiscated.
He even wrote them a thoughtful message.
Wouldn't it be fatal to do it again.
Monday morning.
Everyone is on vacation.
Did Douglas enjoy a quiet morning of running.
Then I got into the office and couldn't come out, so I started to modify my quill.
It can be signed automatically, and more than 100 messages are stored in it.
Time soon came to November 12th.
Douglas wrote a letter to Percy in advance, asking him to find Slane at the Obscure Book Company in Diagon Alley at eight o'clock in the morning.
Then set up the event site with him, and let him practice how to communicate when facing social wizards.
At nine forty, Douglas left Hogwarts and came to the Honeydukes Candy Shop in Hogsmeade Village.
He had told the owner, Ambrosius Froome, in advance that he would use their fireplace to go to Diagon Alley.
When Douglas showed up at the Leaky Cauldron, Tom greeted Douglas kindly.
"Aha, Professor Holmes.
Long time no see, how do you feel about the Hogwarts professors?
Would you like a glass of mead to soothe your throat, I heard you will give a lecture soon!
Of course I invite you! "
This time Douglas was not polite. To be honest, he was indeed somewhat nervous at this time.
So he took a large glass of mead handed over by Tom and killed it in one gulp:
"tasty!
Thank you Tom!
By the way, the professors at Hogwarts are very interesting!
See you Tom! "
When Douglas came to Diagon Alley, the first thing he saw was a three-meter-high poster suspended above the signboard of Lihen Bookstore.
This poster can be seen almost anywhere in Diagon Alley.
Before he came to the front, he was surrounded by a group of people.
"Professor Holmes, long time no see! Last time at the Three Broomsticks, you even signed me!"
"Professor, hello, I'm Traus's father, how is he doing in school?"
......
Douglas didn't dare to let go of the smile on his face for a moment, and while greeting the people around him, he squeezed towards Lihen Bookstore.
From behind the crowd came Slane's voice:
"Please make room, or Professor Holmes won't be able to catch up with the lecture for a while!
If you have any questions, you can ask them in the Q&A session later..."
"Ma'am, you should go shopping now while you still have time..."
"I am Slane, the exclusive editor of Professor Holmes, please make room for me..."
10 minute later.
Douglas stood in Lihen Bookstore, tidying up the folds of his clothes behind a pair of posters.
Then look at the signing meeting in hand to arrange the process.
I found that there are not only lectures, but also a questioning session for reporters, a questioning session for fans, and finally a signing session.
"Percy, how are you feeling?"
Percy looked and rubbed his shoulders, complaining in a low voice:
"The fans are so enthusiastic!
But Mr. Slane who is more enthusiastic than the fans!
He kept saying he had to be more stylish than Gilderoy Lockhart was then! "
The two looked at Slane, who was wearing an emerald green dress and was arranging reporters, and pouted at the same time.
Indeed, many reporters came this time. After the Lockhart incident, it was almost difficult for the publishing world to see such a grand event.
Douglas quickly locked a female reporter - Rita Skeeter.
He had met this woman once, but she didn't know him at that time, mainly because her ugly pair of glasses was really memorable.
I saw Rita Skeeter laughing and chatting with Mr. E. Limos who interviewed her last time.
Obviously, seeing Mr. E. Limos's expression, this chat was not pleasant.
He immediately called Slane in with a voice-in-ear spell.
"Slane, I thought you only invited Mr. E. Lymos."
Slane showed bitterness:
"We worked with the Daily Prophet and originally only Mr. Lemos was in.
But the owner of the newspaper said that he could arrange for a reporter who was free to come and add an impromptu press conference.
On our side, we thought, the more reporters there are, the more exciting it will be.
After all, we really don't want to offend those reporters' mouths! "
Douglas took a deep breath, he had a sense of foreboding.
George, Fred and Ron all chose to stay in school for the holidays.
Ron thought everyone was worried that Mrs. Weasley would teach them a lesson when they got home.
After all, the twins attacked the professor at the beginning of school, and Ron drove a speeding car to school, which caused Mr. Weasley to be censored by the Ministry of Magic.
