It was gloomy weather. Although it was morning, it was covered with dark clouds. The dark clouds seemed to indicate that there might be a rainstorm at any time. Nevertheless, a blond man and his two children were walking down the dark alley's of Diagon Alley.
Draco asked Lucius: "My father, what are we doing here? It looks like the environment here is not very good."
"Handle some small troubles." Lucius said.
"Selling stolen goods and Dark magic items. Who would have thought?." Edward could not help but want to laugh, he silently looked at the surrounding shops. A store seems to be domesticated by spiders. A large cage is full of black spiders. The dense legs and feet make people look nauseated for a while. Another one sells poisonous candles. He doesn't understand the practical use of this poisonous candle. Give someone an assassination? But in front of this shop there was an old wooden street sign with a huge black spider hanging on it. The sign reads: Turning Alley
Then they came to a shop called Bojin-Bok. It seems that this is the largest shop here, and there are some shrunken heads in the window of a shop opposite the shop.
"Don't touch it when you go in, of course, I know you must know the danger of those black magic items, my child." Lucius reminded before entering the store.
"Of course, father," Malfoy replied.
The two crossed the shop hall, and Lucius walked slowly to the counter, and rang the bell on the counter. As Malfoy was carefully observing the surrounding goods, he saw a shelf full of skulls, a cushion in a glass box with a dying hand, a stack of blood-stained playing cards, and a dull glass eyeball. The greasy mask looked down on the wall, a variety of human bones were placed on the counter, and rusty spur-shaped instruments hung from the ceiling. It seemed that the shop's business was deserted. The cloth on most goods Full of dust.
Once they were done, Lucius looked around confirming that no one was watching and left with a sigh of relief. Edward looked at this boredly. Lucius took them around to buy the books for the second year. As they were walking around, they noted a large commotion in front of a bookstore.
"What in the bloody hell is going on here," muttered Lucius impatiently as he went in for a look. Upon arriving, Edward found a man standing on the stage and boasting about himself while talking to his crazy fans. Yes it was none other than Gilderoy Lockheart. While this was happening, there was a commotion in the crowd, only to hear Lockhart jumping from his seat in surprise, shouting: "Isn't this Harry Potter?"
The crowd immediately gave way to Lockhart. He rushed up and grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him to the front. The applause broke out. The man who took the picture pressed the shutter more frantically. , As if the more photos you take, the higher the salary.
Then Lockhart gave Harry a set of his writings, and took this opportunity to announce that he was going to be a teacher of the Black Magic Defense class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
More enthusiastic applause and screams came from the crowd, of which women accounted for the majority, whether they were young girls of middle age or middle-aged women, they almost looked at Lockhart with admiration. He is handsome and has a lot of talents and experiences legends. Now he may have to add a teacher halo as a teacher.
"Wizards are really dumb." Edward just shook his head, and did not intend to expose an empty boxing. He felt that Gilderoy would make things more interesting. After buying an autobiography called "adventure" rather than a textbook, he and Draco met with Hermione and Ron.
Harry squeezed out of the crowd in a daze. He found that in his arms, he actually included all the writings of Guidro Lockhart, no wonder the walking wobbly. He squeezed to the wall and saw Ginny was here, with a newly bought cauldron next to it.
"These are for you." Harry poured the books in his arms into the cauldron, "I'll buy them again." He had a bad impression of Lockhart and didn't plan to keep these books for himself.
Edward whistles," Not Bad Harry, making moves I see."
Red Faced, Harry stuttered in embarrassment, while Ron kept on questioning Ginny if this was actually true. Suddenly he heard a fierce quarrel near the wall. He hurried over and only saw the bookshelf fall. Lucius was fighting with another man with fiery red hair while mocking each other's living expenses next month. They all bought books, while mocking someone's bad character.
"For god sake." He sighed under his heart, and then walked to Lucius.
"Draco,Edward, come quickly, stay away from them, I feel a shame like the air they breathe." Lucius saw his children walking towards him, and hurriedly shouted. He gasped, apparently he had just had a fight with the other party, and his neatly combed platinum-haired hair was already messy. One eye was swollen, and he seemed to be smashed by the book.
As for his opponent, Arthur was not much better, and his lips were broken.
Draco approached Lucius slowly. He said, "Come on Dad, don't you always teach me to be graceful at all times? Besides, they are my friend's family "
"Draco, you know, some barbarians' blood is full of reckless factors. If you ignore him, he will voluntarily come in." Lucius said viciously.
Involuntarily, Edward noticed that one of the books that Lucius had brought with him was missing. As he looked around, he saw a dilapidated book in Ginny's crucible. Edward wanted to take the book away, but Lucius dragged Draco and him away.
"Come on, don't stay too long with these blood-traitors."
Before leaving, Lucius turned towards Harry,"Boy, I'm willing to tell you something. Since my boys are involved with you, choose your side wisely."
Ron and Harry waved them goodbye as they left. Back home, Lucius was forced to sleep on the couch by his wife Narcissa. She kept on bantering on and on about how he should not bring his feud in her children's personal life. While this was happening, Edward wrote a couple of letters to Harry, Hermione and Ron apologizing for today's encounter. When he was finally finished with the letter he sent it through Lapis, their family owl. Edward sighed and wished he had a cool pet to take care of.
Before sleeping, he called out to Dobby.
"Dobby."
-Crack-
Instantly, Dobby came in front of Edward anticipantly.
"Yes Young Master Malfoy."
"Don't trouble Harry anymore. I'll take care of him."
"But master Malfoy. Sir Harry Potter is in grave danger."
"Just trust me."
"Yes Young Master."
The next day, the Malfoy family rushed to the train station. Once past the gate, Narcissa began her bawling over the safety of her children. Finally, Edward and Draco escaped from her embrace and settled down in a cabin. As usual, Draco met up with the Slytherins while Edward found his friends sitting in another cabin.
Edward apologized to Ron, but Ron shrugged it off. Anyway, he knew the dark background of his family, so he did not mind. Upon arriving at hogwarts, they went in a different path compared to the route last year. Sleeping through the sorting, Edward woke up to eat dinner and finally left for the dorms. As usual, he had a dorm room with Ron, Harry, Neville, Seamus, and Dean. Edward looked forward to the new school year upcoming.
