Chapter 90

After entering Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, they met Harry and the Weasley family, the Malfoys and their sons, and witnessed a farce.

Just hearing a"clang", a crucible flew out. Mr. Weasley threw himself at Mr. Malfoy, knocking him into a bookshelf. Dozens of thick spell books fell on their heads. The two men struggled into a ball, and no one around them could stop them.

Finally, a big man over two meters tall emerged from the crowd, it was Hagrid, and he easily separated them.

Ye Ting also noticed that in the chaos, Lucius Malfoy intentionally or unintentionally inserted a thick diary into Ginny Weasley's Transfiguration textbook.

This diary is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and it is also the beginning of the conspiracy in the new semester.

If Ye Ting wanted to, he could get the diary immediately and destroy it with fire. In this way, Voldemort could be severely damaged and spend a safe and sound year.

But Ye Ting did not do this because he still wanted to wait for Voldemort to use the Horcrux to release the basilisk from Slytherin's secret room.

Since this was Gilderoy Lockhart's autograph signing, there were many media present, and both parties to the fight were not ordinary people: one was the patriarch of the ancient pure-blood family, the Malfoy family, Hogwarts One of the school directors; the other is the director of the Department for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Articles in the Ministry of Magic - but there are only two people in this department - such a fight between two distinguished people in public is simply big news.

So a reporter stepped forward to interview both sides of the fight, but suddenly, a young female reporter discovered a bigger target next to them.

"Isn't that the youngest wizard chess champion, Ting Ye?"The female reporter couldn't help shouting, and then she reacted and shut her mouth regretfully - that could have been her exclusive news. It was too late now, everyone saw the book-buying Ye Ting and the reporters all left Lockhart and the two old men fighting and ran in the direction of Ye Ting. It has only been more than a month since Ye Ting became the champion of the International Wizarding Chess Competition, and next month, Magic The Ministry is also preparing to award Ye Ting with the Merlin Order of Merlin, Level 3 for his invention of mobile fireplace technology.

In other words, Ye Ting's limelight has not passed yet, and he is still a topical figure at this time - due to his age, He is far more topical than Gilderoy Lockhart.

This accident made Ye Ting quite annoyed, because it meant that his trip to Diagon Alley had to end in a hurry, and he had to leave here immediately, otherwise he would definitely be in trouble..

So he made a quick decision and shouted to the girls:"Floo back to the car to find me."

Then he turned around and ran away from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Reporters and onlookers followed him away, and the bookstore instantly became empty, leaving only a few customers who were actually buying books and Lockhart who was at a loss.

This time , the girls finally saw Ye Ting's true fame.

Hermione looked at the dejected Lockhart in front of her, and then looked at the door where Ye Ting left. She suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart. She found that compared with all kinds of Ye Ting, who has achieved success and has been helping her, Lockhart is actually not that good. She found that the fundamental reason why she admired Lockhart was because of his fame and handsomeness, but he was more handsome and worthy of her admiration. In fact, it was right next to her.

Therefore, she and Zhang Qiu did not come forward to ask Lockhart for his autograph. They hurriedly left the bookstore after purchasing a set of books.

……

In the last few days of the vacation, Ye Ting found strangely that Hermione and Zhang Qiu suddenly treated him much better than before. Ever since they got in the car, they would always have trouble with Ye Ting from time to time because of the presence of the other two girls..

Now, Hermione no longer always argued with Ye Ting on some academic issues, and Zhang Qiu was no longer jealous because Ye Ting said a few more words to the other two. They even took the initiative to learn how to cook with magic from Ye Ting and prepare breakfast for him.

Ye Ting curiously asked Penello what happened, but the senior sister said nothing and just smiled and winked at him.

So, he had no choice but to start enjoying this inexplicable tenderness with peace of mind.

……

Happy time always passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the summer vacation is over.

On the last night before school started, Ye Ting prepared a sumptuous candlelight dinner for everyone. Regardless of the fact that all the people present were minors, he took out red wine, which was Ye Ting's treasure from Russia - probably collected from diplomacy. The gift I received - 1945 Romanée-Conti, tasted quite good.

Few of them had ever drunk red wine. It was the first time they drank such delicious red wine, and they were all a little greedy.

After dinner, everyone was a little drunk. I don't know who made the first suggestion. They started playing cards in the living room, and the loser had to drink one drink as a penalty.

By the end, everyone was going crazy and the punishments became all kinds of weird. Early the next morning, Ye Ting discovered that the four of them had slept together in the living room all night. Each of them was wearing thin clothes and sleeping in a huddle. He also found many lip marks on his face. , apparently from different people.

Fortunately, he didn't do anything further.

But after that, the four of them were a little awkward with each other.

Ye Ting himself sighed inwardly, this time he was a little out of touch, and it would be difficult for them to get together like this next time.

That afternoon, before they set off from Hogsmeade to Hogwarts, Ye Ting received that day's Evening Prophet.

Like many adult wizards, Ye Ting has a long-term subscription to the Daily Prophet》、《Wizards Weekly and other newspapers, in addition to his subscription to Transfiguration Today》、《Magic spell innovation》、《"Encyclopedia of Practical Potions" and other academic publications.

Ye Ting did not read the newspaper immediately. He had to clean up his laboratory. When he returned to the living room, he found three girls gathered together, reading"The Daily Prophet" with great interest.》

"What happened?"Ye Ting didn't understand why these three girls got together just after he left for a while. They felt awkward talking to each other before.

"Harry and Ron, they secretly took Mr. Weasley's car! They actually dared to drive a flying car to Hogwarts!"Hermione said loudly, the surprise in her tone was obvious.

Alan was shocked, how did Hermione know about this? Scanning the newspaper in Hermione's hand, he understood everything in an instant.

He took the newspaper in his hand, A quick glance at the headline in bold black font read:"Ford Anglia flies and Muggles are shocked. He continued browsing,"Two Muggles in London were convinced they saw an old car flying over the Post Office Building... In Norfolk at noon, Mrs. Hetty Bellis was drying laundry... Ann of Peebles Mr. Gus Fleet reported to the police……"

"How did you know it was the two of them?"He is still a little confused. Hermione and the savior duo are just ordinary classmates at present. They don't even communicate with each other. It is impossible for her to understand all this like the original work.

"This is a letter from Harry and Ron to you."Penello handed Ye Ting a piece of letter paper. The letter mentioned that they could not pass platform nine and three-quarters and hoped that Ye Ting could help find a way. Otherwise, they would have to drive Mr. Weasley's car to school.

"They didn't know you drove the car to Hogsmeade, and they thought you were taking the train to school like before, so they sent you a letter asking for help. Unfortunately, it's too far away from London, and the letter just arrived."

"Well," Ye Ting smiled a little gloatingly:"I hope they won't be scolded too badly tomorrow."
