Hogwarts: The frog cub brings back the Dragon Slayer Crystal at the beginning

By the time Lorne knocked on Hermione's room, it was about nine in the morning.

As the door opened, Miss Hermione, dressed in pale blue pajamas with bears on them, reached out and rubbed her sleepy eyes, but stood in front of him.

"Good morning, Miss Beaver. Lorne greeted with a smile.

"Nasty..."

Hermione glanced at Lorne and muttered something quietly.

"I always feel that the rabbit ears are a good match for you now!"

Lorne's hand holding the wand was a little jumping.

But Hermione just closed the door.

"I'm going to go shopping at the Blotted Bookstore in a while, don't mess around!"

A sullen sound came from behind the door.

She changed her clothes and went.

In the past few days, Lorne has nothing to do, so he takes her to Mrs. Morkin's store to buy clothes, and he also seriously says that it is employee benefits.

Lorne withdrew his wand with some pity, and turned downstairs to make breakfast.

By the time Hermione went downstairs again, her pajamas had been replaced.

A brown sweater with a pleated skirt and black boots.

It was a combination that made Lorne's eyes shine.

The suit was purchased from London, not in Mrs. Morkin's shop.

"How?"

Hermione asked expectantly.

"It's beautiful!"

Lorne nodded in approval.

The answer was clearly amused by the girl, and she trotted over and sat down across from Lorne.

However, after seeing the chocolate milk in front of Lorne, the smile couldn't help but stiffen.

"You're drinking chocolate again!"

Hermione frowned at Lorne.

You know, since she came here, Lorne has been drinking chocolate milk almost every day, and he is not afraid of getting sick and tooth decay.

"Don't drink it, don't drink it..."

Sensing the unkind gaze, Lorne aimed his wand at the chocolate milk in the quilt.

"Rabbit eyes are crystalline, the harp is quiet, and it becomes black tea!"

As the spell was cast, the chocolate milk slowly turned into a cup of black tea under Hermione's gaze.

Then she nodded in satisfaction.

After the two of them finished eating, the time had come to about eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

It's a late start.

Because the door usually opens at seven or eight o'clock.

But it doesn't matter if it opens today, because the Blotted bookstore opposite is almost overcrowded, and no one notices the potion shop opposite.

"Let's go, let's go over there and see the excitement too. "

Lorne also changed into a casual outfit and turned to Hermione.

The two of them had already bought the books Lockhart needed a few days ago, so there was no need to squeeze in and grab those autographed books.

After all, in Lorne's opinion, Lockhart's signature is not the same.

He even felt that Lockhart's signature had tainted a good biography.

The weather was nice today.

The blue sky, the breeze that blows from time to time, and the lively crowd.

Hermione was holding a box of Bibi Beans, hesitating to put it in her mouth.

She gave it to Lorne when she felt something was wrong.

Lorne ate with relish.

Beef, lemon, orange, honeydew melon... Various flavors gather in the mouth.

"Phew, earthy!"

As soon as she ate a Bean, Hermione couldn't help but spit it out.

"There are seven hundred flavors in total, why are you so unlucky?"

Lorne quipped.

Hermione hit him with her little fist with these words, and it didn't hurt.

When the two of them walked into the bookstore, they saw a blonde man standing on a high platform giving a speech, his expression was full of smiles, and he looked confident and friendly.

"It's Lockhart!"

Hermione whispered as she stood beside Lorne.

Both of them had seen Lockhart's portrait on the cover of a magazine, and it was exactly like him now.

Especially that smile.

"Wait, isn't that Harry?"

At this point, Lorne pointed to Harry, who was standing beside Lockhart with an embarrassed expression.

What happened?

As soon as the two of them came in, Lockhart's speech was over, so he had no idea what was going on on stage.

Harry walked down with an embarrassed look on his face, holding his autograph.

Lorne was just thinking about it when Hermione pulled him along.

"The Weasley brothers are too!"

Looking at it, the red-haired brother stood out in the crowd, and he also saw Ron and a little red-haired girl.

"The Weasleys are here too?"

Lorne muttered to himself, and then walked over with Hermione to say hello.

"Isn't that Lorne and Hermione!"

Before the two of them could pass, George saw the little couple at a glance.

Are the two of them inseparable during the holidays?

Fred also thought a little strangely.

However, he was very happy to see his partners and friends in the bookstore.

"Good afternoon, sir, madam. "

Lorne and Hermione greeted politely.

"Hello, two little wizards!"

Arthur, who is the head of the family, also responds to his son's friend with a smile.

"You're here for Lockhart's autograph session?"

Lorne asked curiously.

"Fred and I don't want to come, it's our mom, she wants..."

George's voice grew smaller as Fred gestured behind him with a blank expression.

"It was Ron who wanted Mr. Lockhart's autographed book. George quickly changed his words, "You know, he loves to read those books!"

"I didn't..."

Ron subconsciously retorted, but was glared at by George.

"Long time no see, Lorne, Hermione!"

Harry, holding the signed book, greeted with a smile.

"Long time no see, how's the holiday?"

Lorne replied with a smile.

"You don't want to know, it's bad," Harry said helplessly.

No one knew how he had spent this terrible holiday at Dursley's house, and it was nothing short of torture.

"What about you?" asked Harry, curious.

"Hermione and I opened a potion shop across the street from the Blotted bookstore, where we studied and sold potions during the holidays. "

Lorne said, pointing to the closed potion shop opposite.

"Akali's potion shop!"

Fred couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the sign.

"You actually opened a potion shop!?"

Ron and Harry's eyes widened and they shouted incredulously.

Even Arthur, a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, couldn't help but glance at the little blonde wizard.

He'd heard Ron and the Twins mention that he was a very talented first-year wizard, and his transcript was all outstanding, except for the Demon History class.

But such a young wizard who is about to enter the second year actually opened a potion shop during the holidays?

O my Merlin!

Arthur was shocked.

Lorne smiled and didn't reply.
