NOVEL NEXT Hogwarts: more magic than magic
Chapter 166 Change Destiny
Chapter 166 Change Destiny
Harry talked about what he had seen and heard in Knockturn Alley, and emphatically said that he had heard about the conspiracy of Malfoy and his son. Hagrid and the Weasleys were very concerned about the news, but they didn't have any evidence, and they could only say a few harsh words in the end.
"Well, I have to go," said Hagrid, freeing the hand tightly clutched by Mrs. Weasley, who had been thanking him for getting Harry out of Knockturn Alley since just now.
"See you at Hogwarts!"
It seemed that there was something important to do, Hagrid left in a hurry after saying a word.A head and shoulders taller than any man in the street.
After saying goodbye, they first went into the underground vault of Gringotts to get some gold coins to buy school supplies. The Weasley family's vault was extremely shabby. There was only a small pile of silver Cosico and a gold Galleon in it. Other than that, it was empty. Weasley even searched every corner of the vault and put all the property inside into a small bag.
In comparison, Harry's treasury was much richer. Seeing that it was full of wealth, the Weasley family swallowed, but no one said anything more. After Harry filled a small bag, he followed the crowd back to the top.
Keez and Hermione didn't go down together, their business can be handled in the lobby above.
Hermione's parents exchanged some gold coins for their daughter here.
Qiz went to the counter to get his own 150 student loans. Although this small bag of gold coins was negligible compared to the mountain of gold piled up in his suitcase, who could refuse a loan that was sent to him for nothing without paying interest.
Strictly speaking, he was richer than Harry, who had received his parents' inheritance, but the money was not visible after all, and it was okay to use it occasionally in places that were not visible, such as buying Alister's rations and so on.
If I ostentatiously scatter a lot of wealth that I can't have at my age, I'm likely to be targeted by those people. After all, those people from the Demon God Church are probably still looking for suitcases, and I can easily think of myself, the little wizard who escaped from the corpse divider.
So it's better to keep a low profile as much as possible.
After taking the coins, a group of people left Gringotts in a mighty manner.
They parted on the marble steps outside the bank.Percy mutters about buying a new quill, and Fred and George see their Hogwarts friend Lee Jordan.Mrs. Weasley and Ginny were going to a shop that sold used robes.Mr. Weasley insisted on taking the Grangers to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink.
The rest were scattered everywhere.
"Gather at Lihen Bookstore in an hour and buy textbooks for you." Mrs. Weasley explained and left with Ginny. "Don't go to Knockturn Alley!" she shouted after the twin brother.
Keiz also became fully alert, staying by Ginny's side consciously or unconsciously.
The reminder in my mind has been reminding myself.
[Ginny Weasley will get the notebook full of sins today, are you willing to rewrite the tragic fate she will face next? 】
It's a pity that Qiz's guard was overwhelmed. Before they entered the Lihen Bookstore, there was nothing abnormal. They didn't even see the shadow of Malfoy and his son. Qiz even delayed buying some important things because of this. Moreover, Ginny looked at him suspiciously several times, her eyes full of doubt and puzzlement.
But Chez still followed them stubbornly until it was time to assemble.
An hour later, they walked towards Lihen Bookstore, and there were far more people going to the bookstore than them.
They were surprised to find a large group of people crowded outside the store, all wanting to go in.
A large banner was pulled up upstairs:
Gilderoy Lockhart's autobiography <I Can Be Magic> signed for sale today 12:30-4:30 pm
"We can see him in person!" cried Hermione. "I mean, he's written nearly all the books on the list!"
The crowd seemed to consist mostly of witches of Mrs Weasley's age.A weary-looking wizard stood at the door and said, "Ladies, be quiet.. don't crowd and watch out for books"
At this moment, Keiz was extremely alert. He knew that the notebook should be stuffed into Ginny's old books here.
He tightened a diary in his arms, which he bought by himself when passing by a second-hand bookstore, and planned to replace the real one later.
He was so engrossed that he didn't dare to leave Ginny's side for a moment. Of course, he didn't just cling to her like an idiot, but surrounded her intentionally or unintentionally, so that he would be able to find that book immediately after it was stuffed into the old books.
The people around were getting more and more crowded, even if he was very powerful, he couldn't move around in the crowd, not to mention that Mrs. Weasley was still pushing her daughter to the center of the crowd.
Keez looked up, and it turned out that Gilderoy Lockhart seemed to be talking about something, which caused the screams of the women who surrounded him tightly, and Mrs. Weasley was also frantically pushing over there.
Sighing, he had no choice but to continue to squeeze over there.
Fortunately, it seemed that Mrs. Weasley also felt that her daughter was in the way, so she pointed with her left hand and told her to wait for her in the corner.Keiz breathed a sigh of relief, and led Ginny towards the wall.
After waiting there for a while, Harry walked over with his newly acquired book.
"Here you are," Harry said vaguely to Ginny, pouring the book into Ginny's cauldron, "I'll buy it myself—"
Qiz looked up at him in surprise, thinking that he couldn't see that this stupid guy seemed to have such a little bit of meaning before, and he would take the initiative...
At this moment, the thoughts in his mind were interrupted by a slightly mean voice.
"You must like this, Potter?"
Draco Malfoy met Harry face to face, his usual sarcastic grin on his face.
"The famous Harry Potter," said Malfoy, "could not even go into a bookstore without being front-page news."
"Don't talk nonsense, he doesn't want that!" said Ginny.It was the first time she had spoken up in Harry's presence, glaring at Malfoy.
"Potter, you've got a girlfriend!" Malfoy drawled. Ginny blushed as Ron and Hermione pushed forward, each holding a stack of Lockhart's books.
Keiz shrank back after seeing this scene, afraid of his own existence, interrupting what was about to happen next.
"Oh, it's you," said Ron, looking at Malfoy as if he saw something disgusting on the sole of his shoe. "You must be surprised to see Harry here, huh?"
"I was even more surprised to see you in the store too, Weasley." Malfoy retorted, "I guess your parents will be hungry next month for those things."
Ron blushed, threw the book into the cauldron, and was about to charge Malfoy.Harry and Hermione grabbed his shirt from behind.
The Weasley family noticed what was going on here and gathered together one by one.
"What's wrong?" A cold voice came down the stairs.
It was Mr. Malfoy.He had a hand on Draco's shoulder, the same sneer on his face as his son's.
"Lucius," said Mr. Weasley, nodding coldly.
"I hear dude has a lot of work," said Mr. Malfoy, "so much raiding... I suppose they're paying you overtime?"'
He reached into Ginny's cauldron, pulled out a tattered "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" from among the new and bright Lockhart books, and flipped through it seemingly casually.
"Looks like not. My God, what's the good of being the scum of wizards if you can't even get a good paycheck?"Mr. Weasley blushed even more than Ron and Ginny.
"We have very different ideas of what it means to be the scum of a wizard, Malfoy," he said.
"Of course," said Mr Malfoy. "If that's the case, I hope you will always stick to your own opinion."
While talking without anyone noticing, the book in his hand fluctuated slightly. After flipping through it twice again, old Malfoy seemed to lose interest, and put the book back into Ginny's cauldron.
"Goodbye! I hope that the next time I see you, you will still be so shabby." Then he took his son and left.
The Weasley family was so infuriated by his words that they gathered together and cursed the Malfoy family angrily.
Keiz stepped forward immediately after he left, and quietly turned to Ginny, who was leaning against the corner with her head dejected, and glanced into her cauldron, only to see an equally worn notebook under the worn "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration". It was obvious at a glance that the two books should have been put into the cauldron together.
Keiz breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can I read your book?"
Ginny looked up at him, nodded slightly and then lowered her head again.
Keiz reached out and took out the two books together. When he touched the notebook below, his hand trembled slightly, and then he took it out firmly.
