Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 185 Gilderoy Lockhart of the Bag!!

Gilderoy Lockhart faces the camera, showing his shining teeth that shine like diamonds.

“Snap! Syllable! Syllable!……”

A burst of eager applause suddenly broke out, and the eyes of the wizards around were all focused on Toby and Lockhart.

“Mr. Lockhart, you have very beautiful teeth, I wonder what you used to brush your teeth to keep such good teeth?”

In order to get rid of Gilderoy Lockhart, Toby could only change the subject.

“Oh, of course, I use the best toothpaste in the wizarding world, I brush my teeth three times a day, which will keep my teeth healthy, and my charming smile is inseparable from my white teeth.”

“Toby, if you need it, I can show you my toothpaste and teach you the correct way to brush your teeth, trust me, you can have a beautiful pair of teeth like mine if you just do what I say.”

Gilderoy Lockhart said excitedly, but he finally let go of Toby’s shoulders.

For Gilderoy Lockhart, Toby is not only a genius who has won the Order of Merlin of the first class, but also has a very close relationship with Dumbledore, and befriending such a genius will definitely be able to gain more ~ more fame.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Lockhart.”

Toby forced a smile and said that he didn’t expect Gilderoy Lockhart to be a talker, that chattering words, it’s a pity not to be a reporter.

“Oh, no thanks, Toby, we will actually meet at Hogwarts soon, and I have accepted Hogwarts’ offer to be this year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.”

Gilderoy Lockhart blinked and said with a smile.

Then, Gilderoy Lockhart faced the crowd, and he waved to silence the crowd, as if he had something to announce.

“Ladies and gentlemen, what an extraordinary moment! I want to use this wonderful occasion to announce a small matter that I have been pressing for some days and have not said. ”

Lockhart’s voice was so loud that he seemed to want every windmaster to hear it.

“Today, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin of the First Class, the genius Butobi, walked into the Lichen Bookstore just to buy my autobiography, but I was willing to give him this book for free on the spot.”

Gilderoy Lockhart said this, and seemed to want to pull Toby to his side to make them appear more intimate, but Toby flexibly avoided his hand.

Of course, Gilderoy Lockhart will not be embarrassed at all, if he cares about his face, then he will not have achieved what he is now.

Face is worth a few bucks, as long as he can achieve the goal, he is even willing to put face down and let others step on.

“Oh, our genius wizard is a little shy, but it doesn’t matter, in the next year, I will become his professor, and I will pass on some of my experience to him, so that he will not have stage fright like me.”

“Yes, you heard it right, ladies and gentlemen, I would now like to announce with great pleasure and pride that this September I will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”

Gilderoy Lockhart made a grand announcement.

“Snap! Syllable! Syllable!……”

Once again, the crowd burst into enthusiastic applause, which made Gilderoy Lockhart even more complacent.

“Dear Toby, these are all books that I signed in my own hand, and now I give them all to you.”

Gilderoy Lockhart took a stack of books, walked out of the bookstore, and gave them to Toby, with an expression that seemed to say, “It’s your honor to get my autographed book.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lockhart.”

Toby said that the price of Lockhart’s book is not cheap, and now that people have given it to him for nothing, of course he will not refuse.

“But, Mr. Lockhart, my good friend Jamie is also a fan of your books, and he loves reading your books so much that I wonder if you can give him a set too.”

“I know, Mr. Lockhart, you are so generous, you probably wouldn’t refuse the small wish of a poor book lover, right?”

Toby blinked, as if to say that a person as generous as you would not skimp on a few books, right?

“Oh! Of course, since your friend is my book lover, then of course I am willing to meet him, and I will meet any book lover’s request. ”

Gilderoy Lockhart laughed and said that it was just two sets of books, and of course he could afford to give them.

Soon, Gilderoy Lockhart once again hugged a stack of books and gave them to Toby, he seemed to be in a good mood, and along the way he greeted the middle-aged witches, causing those middle-aged witches to scream.

“Oh, for you, free books, don’t do it for nothing.”

Leaving the confines of Lichen’s bookstore, Toby handed Jamie a stack of books.

“Break with the Female Ghost”, “Journey with the Ghoul”, “Vacation with the Dominatrix”, “Walking with Trolls”, “Traveling with Vampires”, “Wandering with Werewolves”, “A Year with the Shōren”, “I Can Magic””

Jamie flipped through the books.

“No wonder, Gilderoy Lockhart’s book will sell so well, the name of the book is good, people want to read it, and what a marketing genius!”

Jamie sighed.

A novel, how to make people want to see, first of all, the title of the book must be well-started, so that people will have the idea of wanting to see it as soon as they hear it, and secondly, the content must be vivid and interesting.

Novels are not like academic papers, and if they are too boring, who would want to read them.

“Mr. Grindelwald, how did you look, are you sure to dress up as Gilderoy Lockhart?”

Toby asked with a smile, he knew that Grindelwald had been staring at Gilderoy Lockhart since just now, in order to familiarize himself with Gilderoy Lockhart’s habits, way of speaking, and so on.

It is not so simple to dress up as another person, perhaps the figure, face, etc. can be changed by human transfiguration.

But a person’s habits, way of speaking, behavior and so on, are not so easy to dress up.

It’s good to meet strange people, but once you meet an acquaintance, it’s easy to be debunked.

What’s more, Gilderoy Lockhart is more difficult to pretend than ordinary wizards.

“There is never something I can’t do, but this person is really special, and I still need to observe him more.”

Grindelwald said lightly.

“Okay, you continue to observe here, and we’ll go to the other shops in Diagon Alley.”

Toby said.

Diagon Alley is the most prosperous commercial street in the wizarding world of the Eagle Country, there are many shops here, it can be said that there is everything you need to eat, drink and have fun, as long as you have enough money, you can enjoy the best service here.

“Diagon Alley is actually nice here, but it’s too small.”

Toby and Jamie circled Diagon Alley several times before sitting down at an ice cream parlor.

“There aren’t many wizards in the wizarding world of the Eagle Country, and you can’t compare this place to Muggle shopping streets.”

Toby said, don’t look at Diagon Alley is very prosperous here, but if compared with the Muggle commercial street, this is almost like a small town market, maybe even a small town market.

After all, the population of wizards is still too small, and more than ten years ago, there was a wizard war, and the population has not recovered until now.

“Hey! Toby, Jamie, why are you guys in Diagon Alley too? ”

At this moment, outside the ice cream parlor, Harry, Ron and Hermione were waving at them and walking quickly.

“School is about to start, of course we are here to buy, and there are a lot of books to buy this year.”

Toby said.

“yes, I didn’t even know that I had to buy so many books this year.”

Ron complained that their family was already poor and had to buy so many expensive books this year that the family had to buy second-hand textbooks for Ginny.

“But have you already bought the books?”

Hermione asked curiously, naturally sitting in the vacant seat next to Toby, and Harry and Ron also sat down.

“Of course I bought it, and I didn’t spend a penny, and I personally gave it to us by the author of the book himself.”
