Chapter 7: Gilderoy Lockhart

Because it takes time to make new robes, Mrs. Weasley agreed to let Evan and Ginny go to buy other items on the school list, and then together at the Flourish Bookstore.

Of course, mainly Evan is buying.

Ginny has a lot of things to inherit from her brother Percy who became a senior in this year and got 12 OWLS certificates. Mrs. Weasley bought him new school supplies, so there are many things.

"Evan thank you, this is the best Christmas gift I have received!" Ginny smiled blushing lightly to Evan, her expression similar to how she is around Harry.

"Don't be silly, that's just an excuse for Mrs. Weasley to agree. I will give you something else for Christmas." Thinking of what happened to her in the books this year, she really needed that gift.

The two walked on the tortuous streets paved with pebbles, and the shops along the street brimming with activity. The coins in Evan's pocket seem to come to life and ask him to spend them.

However, after browsing a few magic shops, probably knowing the price of the magic world, Evan's heart gradually became cold. Compared to what I want to buy, these coins in the pocket are not enough.

In fact, for a Hogwarts freshman, Evans's money is definitely a huge sum, but also wants to buy other stuff outside of the hogwarts materials. He wants to buy too much.

'It seems I need a way to make money'

Although Evan can ask his parents for some more money, it is not a long-term solution, they will not give a child too much money, especially with the many things that Evan wants to buy, not an amount a student should have.

There is a preliminary idea in his heart about how to make money, but it will not start until he starts studing in Hogwarts.

Next, under the suggestion of Ginny, Evan bought the tin enamel needed on the school list, a good quality balance for measuring drugs and a collapsible brass telescope. At the pharmacy, the two bought standard medicinal herbs, which were used in the first-year potions class. In addition to this, there are also feather pens, inks, and parchment papers for recording.

Passing through a magical creature shop, neither of them went in.

Evan thought about it. He is not ready to buy pets at the moment. Because his mom is allergic to birds, except for owls, other pets don't have any help for the wizard. It is too much trouble to take care of them.

Evan is very clear about how many troubles he will encounter in the next few years. He can't learn slowly according to the textbooks, especially when he is still a year younger than Harry.

When the golden trio was running around the world in the seventh grade, the students at Hogwarts actually had to be tortured by the Death Eaters in school. It was a terrible thing to think about it.

Along the way, Evan and Ginny chatted very happily, and the two soon became good friends.

 Passing the Florin cold drink shop, Evan bought two big chocolate lemon ice creams for myself and Ginny, and when they wandered into a dark alley, they saw Harry,Hermione and Ron run out of the alley.

Behind them was Hagrid who was yelling at them "what were you three doing there in the alley, its dangerous don't go there in the future"

"You went to the alley? mom won't let me go there." Ginny pouted.

"Go away, Ginny!" Ron waved his hand and looked impatient.

"Wait, Ron!" Harry looked at Evan and hesitated and explained. "We saw Draco Malfoy. He and his father went to the Bokingham store, its a shop for black magic items."

"Harry!" Ron raised his voice. Obviously, he didn't want his little sister to know about these things.

"Oh, what did you find?" I ignored Ron's overreaction, and asked curiously.

"Nothing, we looked at the outside window for a long time until they left, and we didn't see anything they bought!" Hermione turned and looked at Hagrid. "Hagrid, we were following Malfoy, what were you doing in the alley?"

"I'm looking for a medicine to drive the carnivorous mites, they are ruining the school's cabbage!" Hagrid turning to look at Evan "You should be the one that Harry told me, Evan Mason, fortunately you helped him to leave the house, those awful Muggles, if I knew..."

Hagrid's words were not finished yet, and Mrs. Weasley hurriedly came over with her new robes, behind her, Mr. Weasley, and the parents of Evan and Hermione.

Then she knew that Harry had gone to the alley.

"They really went to the alley! Thanks to you who found them Hagrid!"

"Oh no worries." Hagrid was a little embarrassed, his hand was being held tightly by Mrs. Weasley. "Just doing my job even outside the school"

After Hagrid disappeared from the street, Mrs. Weasley turned and reprimanded the three kids. On the contrary, Mr. Weasley was very interested in what Harry said.

"Obviously, he is going to sell things, he is afraid!" Mr. Weasley said with seriousness and satisfaction, "Oh, I really want to capture the evidence of Lucius Malfoy."

"Be careful, Arthur!" said Mrs. Weasley, who said, "That family is dangerous, don't put our family in danger."

"Do you think I can't fight Malfoy?" Mr. Weasley said angrily, but his attention was quickly attracted to a large group of people outside the store.

Most of them are the middle aged witches similar to Mrs. Weasley, they are all crowded at the door, wanting to go in, through the crowd gap, everyone sees Gilderoy Lockhart wearing a blue wizard's robes, sitting in the shop The middle of the signature book.

Around him, there were his own large photographs everywhere, all the faces on the photos were him smiling at the crowd, shining white dazzling teeth.

Although the other is a magical idiot, Evan has to admit that Lockhart is a successful writer if he does not steal other people's experiences.

Needless to say the next thing, Harry was discovered by Lockhart without accident, and then he was pulled in to take pictures together, and Lockhart announced that he would teach at Hogwarts. When everyone came back, they found that Mr. Weasley and Lucius Malfoy had fought, and that Lockhart stood aside and was so excited that the two were separated by the sudden emergence of Hagrid.

"Little girl, holding your book, this is the best thing your father can give you!"

Lucius Malfoy broke free of Hagrid's arm and waved to Draco, rushing out of the store.

"You shouldn't care about him, Arthur." Hagrid reached out and wiped out the robes for Mr. Weasley, and almost lifted him up. "This guy is so bad, dark family, everyone knows.

The blood on them is bad, that's the way it is."

Everyone's attention is focused on Mr. Weasley, Evan has been observing Ginny's "Twisted Deformation Guide", which is stuffed back. If nothing else, it should be mixed. This black diary.

"Evan, what are you doing, do you want to empty the Liquor Bookstore?" Ron was surprised to see Evan quickly swept through the list of books in his hand, including all the books in the Liquor Bookstore. It is probably more than 8,000 copies.

"How is it possible, I don't have the money, I am choosing what I need." It is certainly impossible for Evan to buy all these books at once. He is going to pick out the books that can be used at present, and the rest he will buy slowly.

"Oh, that's quite a lot!"

"It's not a bad thing to learn more, Ron!"

"Buddy you sound like Hermione."

"I think that Evan is right. There is no harm in previewing it in advance!" Hermione looked at Evan's book list and was very happy to add a few magic books that she would use in her senior year. "Evan, I think we should compare the book list for a while, so as to avoid buying the same books."

"Of course, Hermione!" Evan was very happy to promise.

"Harry, both of them are crazy!"

"You're right, Ron!" Harry hesitated, taking a "curse and anti-curse" by Professor Wendick. This is what he wanted to buy last year. Ron didn't let him buy it." However, it is really necessary to learn more, especially when dealing with Malfoy, isn't it?"
