Disputes at the Bookstore

When Edward and the others waited outside the bookstore, they suddenly heard a commotion among the crowd in front of them.

And through the crowd they saw Gilderoy Lockhart wearing a blue wizard robe, sitting in the middle of the shop, which seemed to be preparing to sign his books.

Around him, there were large photographs of him everywhere, and all the face in the pictures winked at the crowd while flashing bright white teeth.

"Come on kids! if the crowd increases, we won't be able to get a book for you" said Mrs. Weasley hurriedly.

Seeing the crowd fill the entrance, Mrs. Weasley brought Hermione and the others to the bookstore. While Edward and the others chose to wait outside.

When Mrs. Weasley brought Hermione and the others to the queue, suddenly many people around them were silent, then people began to whisper while pointing at Harry.

Knowing that Harry Potter was among them, people began to give way to Harry and the others.

And as expected, when Lockhart saw the gazes of his fans fixated on Harry, he immediately recognized him and then immediately pulled Harry next to him to take a photo together while announcing that he would become Professor at Hogwarts this year.

...

After waiting a few minutes outside, Edward suddenly saw that at this time in the crowd, Harry and the others were arguing with a boy who had sleek white blond hair.

"Mr. Weasley, I think we should go there!" said Edward, pointing at Harry and the others.

"Isn't that Malfoy?" said Fred.

"It seems like Ron wants to fight with him" said George.

"Let's go there! I'm sure Lucius Malfoy is also there" said Mr Weasley concerned, then walked towards Harry and the others.

Edward and the others also followed Mr. Weasley. After struggling through the crowd, they finally reach Harry and the others and then see Ron, who at the moment seems to want to throw himself towards Malfoy.

"Ron!" said Mr. Weasley, "What are you doing? It's too crowded here, let's go outside".

"Well, well, well... Arthur Weasley" suddenly a mocking sound came from behind Malfoy.

The voice is from a man. He currently stood with his hands on Malfoy's shoulder, grinning in the same way. Needless to say, the man was clearly Mr. Malfoy.

"Lucius" said Mr. Weasley, nodding coldly.

As expected, Mr. Malfoy began to bring up the raids carried out by Mr. Weasley while reaching for Ginny's cauldron and took a very outdated copy of A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration and embarrassed him by saying that it was a disgrace to the name of the wizard if he had not even been properly paid.

"We have a very different idea of what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy" said Mr. Weasley, gritting his teeth.

"Clearly" said Mr. Malfoy.

Then through his pale eyes, Mr. Malfoy began to look at Mr. and Mrs. Granger, and that makes them feel scared. Then he began to insult the Weasleys again.

Edward who saw this began to frown, he could clearly see a trace of disdain in Mr. Malfoy's eyes. And when he saw the face of fear at Mr. and Mrs. Granger, Edward felt anger in his heart.

Suddenly there was a thud of metal as Ginny's cauldron went flying. Mr. Weasley had thrown himself at Mr. Malfoy, knocking him backward into a bookshelf. Dozens of heavy spellbooks came thundering down on all their heads.

But the two were separated by the sudden appearance of Hagrid.

"Little girl, this is the best thing your father gave you" said Mr. Malfoy to Ginny and handed over the book he had taken before.

Edward, who saw that, had a flash in his eyes and then looked at Mr. Malfoy who was currently pulling himself from Hagrid's arm and waving at Malfoy to follow him.

He still remembers how Mr. Malfoy looked at Mr. and Mrs. Granger before. Edward did not know how he would react, if the one standing there was not Mr. and Mrs. Granger but his parents.

Just imagining it made Edward feel angry, and he just stared coldly at the Malfoys who was currently walking to the exit.

Malfoy, who was currently walking behind his father suddenly felt something strong pushing him from behind. Shocked, he tried to keep his body from being pushed forward, but it was in vain because the force that pushed him was so strong. Which finally forced him to hit the back of his father.

Mr. Malfoy who was hit from behind began to lose his balance, and involuntarily pulled the end of the bookshelf around him. Because of the strong pull from Mr. Malfoy, the books on the bookshelf began to fall on his head.

Seeing that, the crowd around the store began to laugh out loud.

Seeing what happened in front of him, Edward was shocked. He did not believe what he saw, because the scene in front of him looked like Malfoy was deliberately pushing his father, which was impossible.

When Edward lowered his head to think about what had just happened in front of him, he suddenly realized that at this moment his right hand was in a strange position, the hand was raised slightly and it seemed like his palm was pointing at something.

Following the direction of his right hand, Edward was surprised that it was pointing at Malfoy.

After thinking for a while, Edward realized that it was he who made Malfoy push his father by using his wandless Magic.

Thinking about that, Edward immediately pulled his right hand and looked around to see if anyone else saw him using wandless Magic.

After seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Edward felt relieved.

"I never thought you could do that" suddenly there was a faint sound beside him.

Hearing that voice, Edward was shocked and then began to calm down. He should have guessed that only Luna seemed to always pay attention to her surroundings.

"Luna, can you keep a secret about what you saw before? I will explain it to you later" said Edward to Luna, whispering.

Luna only looked at Edward, after a few seconds she began to answer

"Alright, I'll keep your secret".

Hearing that, Edward sighed with relief.

Meanwhile Hermione, who was now watching what happened to Malfoy, was also shocked, then suddenly appeared in the corner of her view that Edward was currently whispering with Luna as if they had known for a long time.

Seeing that, Hermione didn't know why, but there was an uncomfortable feeling in her when she saw them like that.
