Chapter 83 Superstars and Q&A
After buying their wands, Aiden and Arthursie strolled along the winding cobblestone alleys.
The Galleons in Aiden's pocket jumped around excitedly, as if they couldn't wait and were scrambling to get out.
So he bought two extra large strawberry peanut butter popsicles.
The two walked down the alley happily.
Admire the dazzling window displays along the way while slurping on ice cream.
When the two arrived at the door of the bookstore, they found that there was a large group of people gathered at the door, trying desperately to squeeze in.
The banner on the glass window in front of the door explained this strange phenomenon very well.
Gilderoy Lockhart to Sign and Sell Copies of His Autobiography, Amazing Me, Today
Inside Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, Mrs. Molly and her entire family were already waiting in the fancy decorated venue.
"Aunt." Aiden greeted and walked forward.
"Oh, Aiden, come quickly, this is the front row, you will be able to see Gilderoy Lockhart soon."
Mrs. Molly clasped her hands together and placed them on her chin, like a young girl in love.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Gilderoy Lockhart." Suddenly a short wizard shouted.
"It's my pleasure." An elegant and handsome wizard came out.
He grinned, revealing his white teeth, and Mrs. Molly blushed and covered her forehead.
The witches around also blushed. Lockhart was a real young woman killer.
"Very fancy, isn't it?" Suddenly a hand reached out from behind and held Aiden's shoulders.
Aiden looked back and saw it was Edmund.
"Wow, how come our Master Lestrange condescended to attend the book signing event?" Aiden raised his eyebrows at him.
"To prevent Master Prewett from becoming the headline of today."
After saying that, Edmund cast an Disillusionment Charm to cover the two of them.
"Aunt, my classmates and I are going out for a while." Aiden said to Mrs. Molly.
But she was so absorbed in the superstar’s looks that she didn’t notice that her nephew had gone invisible.
Aiden followed Edmund all the way outside the store.
"Aiden, tell me the truth, what happened to Oliver?" Edmund put away his playful expression and said seriously.
"What did you find?" Aiden asked instead of answering directly.
"It's too abnormal. He invited me to Kingsport during the summer vacation, and then there was news that Kingsport was gone because of a dark wizard ritual, and Oliver had lost contact.
Our last correspondence mentioned that he had invited you, and I wrote to Ethan to ask about it, but he knew nothing about it."
"Matters concerning him may touch upon the contract. You come and ask, and I'll see whether I should answer you based on the circumstances." Aiden looked into Edmund's eyes.
"Okay, first of all, are the dark wizard's rituals real?" Edmund asked.
"Yes."
"The host of the ceremony is someone we know?"
"Yes."
"Is it about Oliver?"
"......yes"
"Oh my god, it must be his father." Edmund, who connected the clues together, got the answer.
"So, what about the object of the ceremony?" Edmund looked at Aiden seriously.
"Does your family have any records about 'us' and the other faction?" Aiden suddenly asked an unrelated question.
"You mean the heart, the soul kind?" Edmund was well-informed.
"It seems you have seen it. Do you know about the Silent Man?"
"You mean,..." Edmund reacted.
Suddenly, a loud thunder fell from the sky and hit Aiden's forehead accurately.
"Tsk." Aiden opened his mouth and a puff of green smoke came out of it.
"Ah, someone was struck by lightning." "Oh, are the two children okay?" "It seems that one of them was struck by lightning.".....
Aiden took out his short staff, cast a cleansing spell on himself, and pulled Edmund into the blind spot of consciousness.
At the same time, he waved his wand and used his ability to hypnotize the people around him, making them forget what they had seen.
"Uh, the contract has been triggered, but fortunately it's not too serious. Fortunately, Edmund, you are also an insider?" Aiden said.
"Crazy, really crazy, how could someone be so crazy to contact..."
Edmund pulled his hair and continued,
"What about Oliver, is he still alive?"
"Alive and temporarily living in my house. Dumbledore might find him an adoptive family." Aiden shrugged.
"Oh, it's really unpredictable." Edmund sighed.
"Ha, you're so unpredictable at such a young age." Aiden rolled his eyes.
"Okay, I'm going to go buy other things. Also, Lockhart is a packaged liar, don't get too close to him." Edmund reminded.
"Well, how did you know that?" Aiden asked curiously.
"Son, Dad is very disappointed in you. Don't you even remember that you are in charge of the telecommunications business of our family?
Also, we are the ones who handle the analysis and financial reports of the Daily Prophet every year. Didn’t I send you a detailed copy of it?”
Edmund was speechless. The piles of letters in the old Prewett house also silently accused Aiden.
"No, you didn't tell me at all, and I was away with my family.
You sent the letter to the old Prewett house, so I didn't see it." Aiden blushed.
"No? It doesn't matter. Anyway, you know it now. I will inform you if there is any new news after school starts." Edmund waved as he walked.
"Oh, I didn't expect your summer vacation to be so colorful." Arthur said
Aiden: “!!!!”
"Arthursi, why are you here?" Aiden was frightened.
"Aren't you wrapping me in a strange power?" Arthur tilted her head.
"Ding, I guess she may have extraordinary adaptability to audience channels."
Aiden: "Okay, you're awesome."
Arthur smiled at Aiden, took his hand and pulled him into the bookstore.
In the bookstore, Lockhart was pushing his way through the crowd, trying to capture the weak, pitiful and helpless Harry.
"Oh, look who this is, Harry Pott."
Lockhart pronounced Harry's name so hard that the pronunciation changed.
Then he grabbed Harry and pulled him into his arms.
"Smile wider Harry, you'll be on the headlines with me." Lockhart laughed.
Then the short wizard squeezed over and said, "Make way. This is for the Daily Prophet."
Then he pushed Ron down. Aiden subconsciously stepped forward to support Ron, but he also came out of the blind spot of consciousness.
And Arthursie suddenly appeared at the same place, Danif walked over and grabbed Arthursie.
Arthur gave Aiden a look that told him to wish him the best, and was taken away by Danif.
"Wow, look what I found. What a beautiful day."
When Lockhart saw Aiden, his smile widened.
Aiden: “…”
Then Lockhart dragged Harry to Aiden.
"Look, the famous magic genius, my junior who has also been awarded the Order of Merlin, Mr. Aiden Prewett."
He reached out for Aiden.
"Come on, let's take a photo of the three of us together."
Aiden didn't make any move and let Lockhart pull him over. For a moment, Lockhart was smiling.
"This guy is really bold. No one has ever dared to pull the audience to his side." Aiden complained silently in his heart.
Aiden then used hypnosis on Lockhart.
Lockhart had a strange expression on his face, but he didn't feel anything unusual until the photo was sent out.
The weird expression combined with his shining teeth finally made him the most eye-catching man in the whole audience.
In the not too distant future, this photo was frozen on the front page of the Daily Prophet.
"Why, the picture looks like this." Lockhart growled at the tiny wizard.
"I...I have asked you again and again, isn't this the one you said okay?" The short wizard was a little depressed.
"No~." A painful roar came from the alley, startling a flock of birds in the dark night.
