Chapter 94 Mundungus Fletcher
People are always in awe of powerful people.
Even in the wizarding world.
When each of the five people in the group looked exquisitely dressed and had high social status.
Other ordinary wizards who feel that it is difficult to enter this circle will avoid it to avoid causing trouble for themselves.
So when Raven and the others came to the book signing site at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, even the enthusiastic fans around them made room for these people.
This made the Weasley children feel a lot better, as they didn't have to get out of the way.
As today’s protagonist,
Wearing a lavender coat, Gilderoy Lockhart still maintained his charming smile on the signing table.
But the envy in his eyes will be noticed by those with sharp eyes.
Isn't this what he has been pursuing all along?
Sure, it feels good to be surrounded by fans.
But he yearned more for the feeling of being feared and respected by all living beings, that was the status of witch above witch.
But fortunately, he didn't forget his personality.
A friendly and interesting adventurer and writer.
So he quickly motioned to the photographer and winked at him.
'Get me one! '
As the owner of the third-level Order of Merlin, he can be considered to be in the middle class of the magic world.
It’s not too out of the ordinary to invite a real big shot to take a photo.
The photographer understood instantly and watched among the people for a while.
The head of the Black family? pass, pass, pass. This guy had a bad temper when he was young.
Head of the Malfoy family? Pass, pass, he looked down on that idiot Lockhart.
The heir to the Malfoy family? pass, same as above, the whites of his eyes are bulging out, not as well hidden as his father.
That Weasley? pass, not too famous, didn't suit Lockhart's needs.
Harry Potter! Very good, savior, not arrogant, he is it!
So after consulting Sirius, he invited Harry Potter to the signing table.
"Harry, relax, we will be on the headlines tomorrow."
Lockhart put his arm around Harry's shoulders and flashed his shining teeth in his signature smile.
Regardless of the fact that he is a bad person on the inside, from the outside, he is a standard blond old handsome guy.
No wonder the expressions on Ms. Molly's and Hermione's faces were so excited.
Lockhart's voice continued.
"Harry came here today to buy my autobiography, Magical Me,
What he doesn't know is that he will encounter something more precious than getting this work for free.
I myself have been invited by Professor Dumbledore to be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts! "
Warm applause came, and even the wizard parents, who had already guessed, clapped excitedly.
In this noisy applause.
Ginny heard a murmur from classmate Xiaofu.
"Wish him luck, I'm...sorry."
On one side, Raven was communicating with the temporarily idle clerk at the front desk.
Proof of purchase for Lockhart's books,
Proof that the Weasley family purchased six sets of books from Flourish and Blotts, plus the seal of Floods and Blotts.
Five brand new sets and one he bought himself.
The store clerk just takes it as an ardent fan to prove that he supports his beloved author.
But I didn't expect that these documents would appear on Dumbledore's desk at the end of the semester.
He also asked Harry, Hermione and Draco to come with him.
Hermione received her proof of purchase, carefully put it into the inner pocket of her robe, and tucked it away close to her body.
At this time, the sound of quarreling attracted the attention of several people, including acquaintances inside.
A short, fat, middle-aged man with bow-legged, unshaven beard and long, messy ginger hair was pestering Neville Longbottom and his grandmother.
"Ms. Longbottom, please lend me thirty galleons.
For the sake of Frank and I fighting together,
I will pay it back, I will pay it back soon, this, this thing will be used as collateral for you.
I really need Galleons. "
The middle-aged man begged and put an invisible object into the hands of Neville, who was standing beside him.
The old man's face was cold and serious. He was not a kind old man.
She wore a green robe and a pointed black wizard hat with a mountain eagle.
Although it is a bit outdated, it is just right for this old man.
This is a traditional witch strongman.
"ell."
Raven spoke in a very arrogant tone;
He waddled over.
He was still holding his nose,
This made everyone realize that the down-and-out wizard didn't smell good.
Subconsciously, everyone took a small step back.
"Mungdungus Fletcher, sir." (Chapter 92 has been modified and this man has been released.)
Seemingly remembering this old comrade who was considered his father, Raven still used the honorific title.
But everyone who heard this sentence understood the contempt he wanted to express.
"If you really care about the comradeship, tell me, how could you sneak up on your comrade, my father, from behind?"
Mundungus Fletcher had just been released from Azkaban, and his brain was still a little confused.
So it took him a few seconds to guess Raven's identity from his hair color.
"You are... you are Arthur's child,"
He said nervously.
"Child...I..."
He also realized his mistake in this matter,
He almost caused Arthur to lose his job and the whole family to have no income.
But he did not say these words.
"I'll pay it back as soon as possible."
he said, and then, as if to prove his words, he added excitedly.
"Even if I borrow, steal, or rob, I will still pay back the galleons!"
Arthur heard the movement and came over.
He pulled Raven behind him. After all, he was the one who caused this incident.
Originally, he just wanted to punish Mundungus Fletcher. He would just stay in Azkaban for a few days and remove him from the fang's chain of interests.
However, after mentioning it to Raven at the dinner table that day, Mundungus's sentence became one year, and he also had to pay him valuable compensation.
He only found out about this when Dumbledore came to plead for mercy.
He didn't really want to trick this acquaintance to death, but he couldn't refuse Raven's intention.
"Mundungus, you can pay this compensation anytime, even if you don't give it to me!
But it cannot be stolen, robbed, or sold as stolen goods!
I just want to tell you, don’t be fooled by those Galleons you shouldn’t get. Look at what you have become now! ? "
Arthur was also angry when he heard Mundungus Fletcher's words.
He has always respected Dumbledore and regarded everyone in the Order of the Phoenix as heroes.
But Mundungus Fletcher has been living on the edge of crime since the fall of Voldemort, which has brought shame to the Order of the Phoenix!
But obviously he overestimated the character of Mundungus Fletcher, and on reflection this kind of thing would not happen to this piece of garbage.
"Hmph, if anyone asks for your hypocritical charity, I will return Galleon to you. We will clear up our past friendship!"
After that, he stormed away.
