Chapter 73 White Peacock Fashion Brand Lingerie Store
Hephis and Hermione went to the ice cream shop first.
Mr. Granger usually forbade Hermione to eat sweets.
So whenever she had the chance, she would drag Hefeth out for ice cream.
They strolled along the cobblestone streets, eating ice cream.
At a corner of the street, a second-hand shop caught Hermione's attention.
The shop was filled with all kinds of old things, including tattered wands, rickety brass scales, and old cloaks stained with medicine.
Hermione's eyes lit up immediately when she saw the mountain of second-hand books.
She took Hephaest's hand and walked in.
Hermione pulled out a copy of The Standard Book of Spells at random.
Although the page is incomplete, it contains detailed study notes.
She felt like she had discovered a new world and couldn't even walk.
She excitedly asked Hephis to take out paper and pen, and then she sat on the ground and began to copy carefully.
The sunlight shone through the window onto Hermione's face, highlighting her delicate skin and soft features.
She lowered her head, looking intently at the book in her hands, her feather pen moving quickly across the paper.
Her lips were sometimes pursed and sometimes slightly pouted, which was very cute.
The slightly messy hair fluttered gently in the wind.
Hephis sat quietly aside, looking at Hermione quietly, enjoying the beauty in his heart.
Time passed slowly, and Hermione finally raised her head. When she twisted her neck, she saw Hephis staring at her intently.
Her little face suddenly flushed and she lowered her head shyly.
She put down the quill in her hand and said a little embarrassedly: "Um, Hephis, I..."
"This is the Hermione I know, isn't it?" Hephis interrupted her with a smile.
"Thank you, Hephis. Please wait for me for a moment. I want to pick a few books to read at home." Hermione said happily.
"Well, we have plenty of time, so we can pick a few more books." Hephis nodded.
Hermione happily walked around the hill, pulling out a book from time to time.
Just then, Hephis noticed Percy who was reading in the corner, holding a book called "How Prefects Gain Power" in his hand.
Hephis observed Percy thoughtfully. It seemed that Percy would graduate the year after next!
In the end, Hermione selected more than twenty books, and Hephis put them all into the small bag.
It is worth mentioning that the second-hand books in this second-hand shop are really cheap.
One Sickle which was relatively complete, and five Knuts which were severely damaged. Hermione selected more than twenty books, which cost less than one Galleon.
They walked towards Flourish and Blotts because they had to buy second grade textbooks.
Hephis didn't see Lockhart's book in the second-hand shop, otherwise he would have bought a set directly.
A large crowd gathered outside the bookstore, and an eye-catching banner was hung upstairs.
"Gilderoy Lockhart book signing for his autobiography, The Magical Me, today from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m."
"We can actually meet him in person!" Hermione screamed excitedly.
She glanced at Hefeth furtively and explained shyly, "I mean, our reading list is almost entirely written by him."
Hephis shrugged. If Hermione hadn't been so excited just now, he might have believed it.
But of course, this account must be attributed to Lockhart, and he has already started thinking about how to beat that guy up.
A wizard with a slightly tired look stood at the door of the bookstore.
He kept persuading: "Ladies, please keep quiet... don't crowd... be careful with the books..."
Hermione pulled Hefferthy into the crowd, and they saw the Weasley family who were queuing.
She quickly grabbed a few of Lockhart's books and snuck in behind Harry to get in line.
Mrs. Weasley said excitedly: "We will be able to see him soon..."
Gilderoy Lockhart sat behind a desk in blue robes, surrounded by large photographs of himself.
The Lockharts in the photos had dazzlingly white teeth.
A short man was holding a large black camera and taking pictures non-stop.
Lockhart discovered Harry, and not only took a photo with Harry, he also excitedly announced that he would become the consumable for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the new year.
Hephis accompanied the excited Hermione, holding the signed book, and squeezed out of the crowd.
I saw Draco and Harry loving and hating each other, and Draco's sour tone.
Hephis felt like his teeth were about to fall out when he heard this.
Then the quarrel between Lucius and Arthur escalated into a close combat.
Hephis seems quite interesting, but the level is a little lacking.
No eye-poking, no crotch kicking, he's no better than when he was nine years old, fighting for food with a dog.
Just then, Hagrid suddenly appeared, picked them up one in each hand, and separated them like chickens.
Hephis narrowed his eyes and glanced at the cauldron in Ginny's hand. It seemed that the second basilisk would appear as usual.
As for taking it away in advance, he has no interest in competing with Voldemort in wits and courage. Wouldn't it be better to just pick up what's ready?
The Weasleys and Harry then left.
Hephis and Hermione continued shopping.
They also saw a long queue in front of a shop with avant-garde decoration.
Unlike the bookstore where most of the people are middle-aged women, most of the people gathered here are young men and women, and of course there are also some young men and women.
"Hephis, look, there's a new store called White Peacock Fashion Lingerie Store." Hermione said in surprise.
Of course Hefeth knew this store, after all, he was the one who came up with the name.
"Why, do you want to go in and take a look?" Hephis glanced maliciously at the lower part of Hermione's head.
"Hephes~~~" Hermione said with a light scolding, stepped on Hephes and ran away.
Why does this little girl love to step on others so much?
Of course Hephis would not let Hermione run around, and soon caught up with her.
They also meet the Grangers.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger also seemed to be having a great time shopping, with Mr. Granger's body covered with all kinds of shopping bags.
Hefeth noticed that the logo on several of the bags was that of the White Peacock Fashion Brand Lingerie Store.
Curious, he looked inside the bag, wondering if Mr. Granger had accepted the gift.
It's a magazine and it's not for sale.
Only when customers purchase a certain amount of products will they be given them as gifts.
Of course, this idea was also proposed by Hephes.
Finally, the family of four enjoyed a delicious dinner at a French restaurant in London.
In the middle of the meal, Mr. Granger, who was a little drunk, mysteriously pulled Hephis into the bathroom.
He pulled out a somewhat warm magazine from his pocket and secretly handed it to Hephis.
Heffies held the magazine and looked at Mr. Granger staggering to release the water with a wry smile on his face.
In order to maintain the harmony of the Granger family, he finally secretly stuffed it back.
Hefeth sighed in his heart: Auntie! I can only help you up to this point!
