[Gilderoy Lockhart, signed autobiography "Magical Me" for sale…]
Above Flourish and Blotts there was an incomparably huge advertisement floating.
With every character being a size similar to that of an adult.
This ensures that all wizards in Diagon Alley can see it.
Judging by the overcrowded appearance of the bookstore, this should have made a lot of contributions.
"Sorry, excuse me!"
Most of the bookstore customers were women, with most of them being housewives, all loyal fans of Gilderoy Lockhart.
"Oh Merlin!"
Hermione tapped her forehead suddenly, then she lowered her head.
Lucas looked over curiously, and saw the Grangers standing in the front row at a glance.
The two seemed very interested in Gilderoy Lockhart's book.
Hearing the laughter beside her, Hermione looked at him angrily.
"Hermione, you have to admit that Gilderoy Lockhart is very popular among middle-aged people."
"Lucas, I saw the Weasleys, I'll go first, thank you for your help."
Harry said suddenly at this moment.
Watching him squeeze into the crowd, Lucas felt that after not seeing each other for a while, Harry became more impetuous than before.
Lucas took Hermione and Cho Chang up to the second floor.
Compared to the first floor, the space on the second floor seemed much more empty.
"You guys are also here, come quickly, you can see more clearly from here."
Lucas didn't know when it was that Draco appeared on the second floor, but he was standing directly above Gilderoy's signing table.
While their group chatted while leaning against the railing, a commotion was heard from below.
"Out of the way, this is a photo shoot for the Daily Prophet."
A short reporter yelled into the crowd.
Lockhart turned to look at the camera, frowning suddenly.
A few seconds passed and he suddenly realized: "Merlin, isn't this Harry Potter!"
The crowd followed Gilderoy's gaze and immediately noticed the famous Harry Potter.
Harry was still a little embarrassed at the moment.
Although his glasses and clothes were sorted by Lucas, but there was still a lot of black soot on his face.
Ron didn't see his friend's distress and excitedly pushed Harry and said, "He wants to take a photo with you, hurry up my good friend."
He said this very loudly.
It seemed that he wanted to tell everyone that he was a good friend of Harry Potter.
The crowd began to murmur, and some gave Ron envious looks.
On the second floor of the bookstore Draco frowned and said, "What does he take Harry for? A tool to show off to others?"
Whether it's Lucas, Hermione or Cho.
They all understand who the "he" Draco is referring to.
Watching Ron Weasley's smug face is really annoying.
Facing Lockhart's invitation, Harry bit the bullet and walked towards the other party under everyone's gaze.
The flash on the magic camera stung his eyes.
In order to avoid the flash, Harry couldn't help but look up and he happened to see Lucas along with Draco on the second floor.
Now Harry felt like a monkey in a zoo and his cheeks suddenly felt hot.
"Hey, Lucas, Draco!"
Everyone followed Harry's gaze to the second floor.
When people saw the two elegant teenagers their discussion became more intense.
"It's Lucas Grindelwald!"
"Merlin, I still remember the unprecedented grand opening of his stores some time ago."
"But, why did Mr. Grindelwald come to Flourish and Blotts? Doesn't he own a bookstore?"
Lucas has been in the limelight recently in the British wizarding world.
Just as expected.
The young appearance had an unexpected chemical reaction with his identity as the behind-the-scenes boss of 15 shops.
Even after so long people were still talking about it.
Especially after learning about the generous treatment of the Saints Investment Group, many people want to go to seek a job.
"Good morning everyone, today is Mr. Lockhart's signing event, please support him."
Gilderoy Lockhart was a little unhappy at first, thinking that Lucas upstaged himself by showing up.
But after hearing what the young businessman said, a confident smile appeared on his face again.
"Thank you for coming Mr. Grindelwald, would you like to take a group photo?"
"Sorry, I have other things to do, I wish you good luck with your event."
After Lucas finished speaking, he left the railing on the second floor, because he had noticed that Lucius Malfoy appeared at the door of the bookstore.
If there is no accident, he'll be messing with the Weasleys in a bit.
Lucius Malfoy did have such thoughts at the moment.
For the black leather diary in his hand, he hadn't made up his mind what to do with it.
He wanted to give it to Dumbledore, but was afraid of being blamed by Voldemort.
But just now he learned from Lucas that the Weasley family had also come to Diagon Alley.
The Malfoy family had been feuding with the Weasley family for a long time.
So he immediately had a good plan for what to do with the diary.
If successful, Arthur Weasley's days ahead may not be easy.
Come to think of it, the head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Division at the Ministry of Magic.
As the main person in charge of this surprise inspection, what would happen if such a dark artifact appeared in his home?
Lucius feels excited just thinking about it now.
"Uncle Lucius, why are you standing here?"
Hearing Lucas' voice behind him, Lucius immediately suppressed his smile.
"Well, it's nothing, I'm just observing, if our bookstore also holds a signing event like this, will it attract so many people as well?"
Although he knew that he was pretending, Lucas is still willing to cooperate.
At this time Harry already had his picture taken with Gilderoy Lockhart.
Waiting until after the camera's shutter is pressed, Lockhart politely "chucked" him off.
Harry looked at the complete set of Lockhart books in his hand and smiled wryly.
"Oh, Harry, you've got a complete set of books signed by Lockhart."
Looking at Ron's envious eyes, Harry pushed the books into his arms: "Since you like them, I will give them to you, I will buy my own."
"Really, is it okay?"
Seeing Harry nod, Ron immediately smiled joyfully.
If it wasn't for the location, he would have wanted to shout a few words in happiness.
"Poor Weasley, are you so happy to just get a set of signed books?"
The characteristic Malfoy drawl caught the attention of the Weasleys.
Harry watched Draco approaching from a distance, and immediately greeted him.
"Draco, long time no see."
"It's been a long time indeed, the famous Harry Potter."
Looking at his friend acting strange there was confusion in Harry's eyes.
Before he could ask him what was going on he saw Mr. Malfoy walking behind Draco.
Mr. Malfoy who had treated him very well in Malfoy Manor.
It was as if he didn't know him at the moment.
Harry turned to look at Ron, ready to complain to him.
But when he saw that the Weasley family was looking at Malfoy and his son warily, he instantly understood the reason for Draco's and Mr. Malfoy's change of attitude.
They probably don't want him to be caught between the two.
At this time Arthur Weasley came from afar.
"Lucius Malfoy?" Mr. Weasley called out the name of the man in front of him coldly.
Mr. Malfoy sneered slightly.
"I heard that you have been very busy recently, busy searching everywhere. You work so hard, it's a pity the Ministry of Magic isn't paying you extra for it."
After speaking, he walked up to the Weasley family, reached for a second-hand book from Ginny Weasley's cauldron.
"What a poor child, who is clearly a freshman at Hogwarts, but has to use these old books."
He opened it casually and looked at it, then he threw it back into the cauldron.
No one noticed that there was a black-covered diary among the books now.
And Lucas, who has been paying attention to it all the time, has a bright light in his eyes.
Finally it appeared, Riddle's diary.
"Hey, Arthur Weasley, what's the use of being the shame of wizardkind if you can't even get enough food and clothing to live on?"
Mr. Malfoy was about to leave after speaking since what he had to do was already done.
After careful consideration, he decided to put the diary on the Weasley family's youngest daughter.
If found out, Arthur Weasley will have a lot of trouble and probably lose his job.
If it's not found, the girl might bring the diary into Hogwarts smoothly.
In this way, Dumbledore must be able to detect the strong dark magic in the diary.
All he needs to do now is to leave as soon as possible.
As long as he walks out of the store, the diary has nothing to do with him anymore.
Lucius Malfoy silently praised his shrewdness in his heart.
A pity that someone didn't want him to.
Lucas pointed a hidden finger at Mr Malfoy and hit him with a "Leg Locking Curse"
Lucius Malfoy, who was about to leave, suddenly stood up straight with his legs together and due to inertia, he fell directly towards Arthur Weasley.
When Lucas lifted the spell, Mr. Weasley had already picked up the cauldron and hit Malfoy in the face.
"Oh Dad, come on, hit him!"
"Keep hitting, Dad!"
Fred and George stood aside and cheered loudly for their father while Mrs. Weasley screamed to stop the two.
The bookstore was already crowded and the people, trying to avoid the two of them, accidentally pushed several bookshelves down.
The ongoing Gilderoy Lockhart signing event was also forced to stop.
Looking at the two wrestling together in the distance, Gilderoy's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Don't hit it, book, be careful with the books, everyone, please pay attention to your feet..."
The shouts of the bookstore clerks, the sound of booing ,cheering and the lively discussions were mixed together.
Let Flourish and Blotts Bookstore become more lively, it even attracted a lot of onlookers from outside.
Lucas crossed his arms on his chest, looked at the two wrestling together and said: "Mr. Malfoy is really great, for our bookstore, he actually ended up disrupting the competition's event by himself."
Hermione gave him an annoyed look.
She just saw what happened.
Obviously Lucas used the leg-locking curse.
Of course, she won't say anything. After all, Malfoy and the Weasleys had nothing to do with her.
"Dad, Mom, come to my side, don't stand too close."
Hermione hurriedly called her parents to her side.
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from the door: "Everyone, please make way!"
As the familiar voice broke into Harry's ears, he seemed to see a savior, and immediately said to the person who came.
"Hagrid! Help separate them please!".
