Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

Chapter 70 I Really Didn't Mean It

After leaving Gringotts, Hermione clearly felt that Harry was slightly depressed.

What's wrong? Hermione asked worriedly.

It's nothing, I just saw the letter my parents left me in my family's vault, so I'm a little sad.

Harry said softly, Where are we going next? Shall we go buy books first?

I have no objection, it's better to say that I'm quite happy. When it came to buying books, Hermione seemed a little joyful.

Today is the signing date for Gilderoy Lockhart, who will be signing his autobiography at Lihen Bookstore.

I have been looking forward to this day for a long time! Judging from the information in the newspapers, he is really a great man!

Oh, really? Harry narrowed his eyes, That's really exciting.

The entrance of Lihen Bookstore was already filled with water.

Lockhart was sitting behind a desk at this moment, with several large stacks of books beside him.

Many witches who were over forty were gathered around the door of the bookstore, still holding Lockhart's books in their hands.

There are many reporters around who are constantly taking pictures.

Obviously, Gilderoy Lockhart is one of the hottest figures at the moment, and the major newspapers will not miss things that can improve performance.

Harry looked at Lockhart from afar. I have to say, he looks really good.

Coupled with the experience published in the newspaper, it is no wonder that so many witches worship him very much.

But Harry always felt that Lockhart seemed to have faked the experience.

After all, his skin looked better than many witches, and the hand holding the quill didn't look like he often fought.

And that sunny face is not at all like someone who has lived in the wild for a long time and been in contact with dark creatures.

But it is also possible that he is so well maintained because of the power of magic.

Harry did not comment on this for the time being.

Let's go quickly! There are so many people, we have to queue for a long time! Hermione excitedly dragged Harry into the bookstore.

The two quickly walked through the crowd, and soon squeezed into the bookstore.

Perhaps because Lockhart was always at the door, there were not many people inside the bookstore, only some young wizards were choosing their own textbooks.

The most conspicuous places in the store are filled with books written by Lockhart. The photos on the book all showed a smile, which was very dazzling.

Tsk tsk, Professor Lockhart's textbooks are really expensive! Harry looked at the price tag on the shelf and couldn't help sighing.

Professor Lockhart?

Oh, I forgot to tell you. Harry suddenly remembered,

When Professor Dumbledore and I were in France, he mentioned that our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester is Gilderoy Lockhart.

Oh my God, really? Hermione was instantly excited,

I mean, we can finally usher in a good professor. Professor Quirrell's level is really not good, and he will only lead us to read the textbook.

Professor Quirrell's level is not good? Harry thought of the dead unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, and made no comment on Hermione's opinion.

I don't know how Principal Dumbledore found such a master of Defense Against the Dark Arts to teach us!

Hermione was still talking there, obviously admiring Professor Lockhart's deeds.

After paying the money, Harry wanted to leave directly, but Hermione insisted on getting a copy signed by Professor Lockhart.

Don't you think books signed by the author are more valuable for collection?

Hermione was in high spirits, and Harry couldn't say much, so he could only nod and agree to accompany Hermione.

The line outside Lihen Bookstore was very long, but it seemed that Halle didn't have to line up.

Because Professor Lockhart saw Harry from a long distance, and let out a cry of surprise: Isn't this Harry Potter?

Harry couldn't help frowning. With such an exaggerated performance, it is hard to believe that he is a master!

Professor Lockhart strode towards Harry, and everyone on the road gave way to him and whispered excitedly.

It looked like Lockhart wanted to put his arm around Harry's shoulders. But it was probably because of gender issues, so in the end, he just reached out and shook Harry's hand actively.

Miss Harry Potter, let's shake hands and have a group photo. The two of us can be on the front page tomorrow!

Looking at this flamboyant man, Harry couldn't help but want to refuse.

But seeing Hermione's envious eyes beside her, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Harry's mouth.

She also took the initiative to shake hands with Professor Lockhart, but secretly used cleverness in her hands, and at the same time no longer suppressed the charisma from the witch:

Hi, Professor Lockhart. Nice to meet you.

The moment Harley stopped suppressing her charm, Lockhart who was closest to her froze.

As for the crowd farther away, under Harry's exquisite control of power, they were not affected at all.

And Harley's ingenious force application skills acquired through assassin training are also displayed at this moment.

Under the force, Professor Lockhart, who stayed where he was and defenseless, fell backwards and fell to the ground.

The crowd around was in an uproar, and even Harry was a little dumbfounded.

Harry swears, he really didn't do it on purpose!

She just wanted to put a little pressure on Professor Lockhart and embarrass him.

But I didn't expect that Professor Lockhart couldn't even guard against such a simple charisma, and he could stay where he was.

After feeling the pain of the fall and Harry disabling his powers, Lockhart also woke up.

The moment he found himself lying on the ground, he had even pictured in his mind the end of his career as a writer.

However, Lockhart was considered experienced in many battles, and immediately came up with a solution.

He laughed and stood up, patted the dust off his body, pretending not to care:

Don't worry, everyone, don't worry about me! In fact, I was just making a little joke!

After thinking about it, Lockhart decided to release another big news to divert people's attention.

Here, I want to announce an important news!

I, Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts League...

Lockhart waved his arms and loudly said a series of his names,

...will become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft this September!

Amidst the excitement and cheers of the crowd around him, Lockhart moved quietly, keeping himself away from Harry.

He's pompous, but not stupid. He knew that his previous performance was due to Harry's instant charm.

And Lockhart knew better, that kind of charm was not some simple magic.

So in this public, for the sake of his future earning career, he absolutely must stay away from Harley.

Anyway, after arriving at school, he has enough time to educate Miss Halle of Gryffindor!

Seeing Lockhart's exaggerated performance, Harry sighed inwardly. It seems that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts course has nothing to learn again.
