Hogwarts: From The Obscure To The Dark Lord

Gilderoy·Lockhart faced the camera, showing his sparkling teeth, as if shining like diamonds.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!..."

A burst of eager applause suddenly sounded, and all the wizards around focused their eyes on Toby and Lockhart.

"Mr. Lockhart, your teeth are very beautiful. What do you use to brush your teeth to keep them so good?"

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, it will keep my teeth healthy My beautiful smile is inseparable from my white

"Toby, if you want, I can introduce you to the toothpaste I use and teach you the correct way to brush your teeth. Believe me, you can have beautiful teeth like mine as long as you do what I say."

Gilderoy·Lockhart said very excitedly, but he finally let go of Toby's shoulder.

For Gilderoy Lockhart, Toby is not only a genius who has won the Order of Merlin First Class, but also has a very close relationship with Dumbledore. If you make friends with such a genius, you will definitely gain more ~ ​​fame.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lockhart."

Toby forced a smile and said that he didn't expect Gilderoy Lockhart to be a chatterbox, and it would be a pity not to keep his chattering words as a memory

"Oh, you're welcome, Toby, we'll meet at Hogwarts soon, and I've accepted Hogwarts' invitation to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year

Gilderoy Lockhart blinked and smiled.

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

"Ladies and gentlemen, what an extraordinary moment! I want to take advantage of this wonderful occasion to announce a small matter which I have been holding back for some days."

Lockhart's voice is loud, and he seems to want every net master to be heard.

"Today, the youngest winner of the Order of Merlin in history—the genius wizard Toby, he walked into Lihen Bookstore, just wanting to buy my autobiography, but I am willing to give it to him for free on the spot."

When Gilderoy Lockhart said this, he seemed to want to pull Toby closer to make them more intimate, but Toby nimbly avoided his hand.

Of course, Gilderoy Lockhart would not feel embarrassed at all, if he cared about his own face, then he would not have achieved what he is now.

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

"Oh, our genius wizard is a bit shy, but it doesn't matter, in the next year, I will be his professor, and I will pass on some of my experience to him, so that he will not be present like me."

"Yes, you heard me right, ladies and gentlemen, I am extremely happy and proud to announce that this September, I will be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Gilderoy Lockhart's grand announcement.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!..."

The crowd once again burst into warm applause, which made Gilderoy Lockhart even more proud.

"Dear Toby, these are my autographed books, and I am presenting them all to you.

Gilderoy·Lockhart walked out of the bookstore with a stack of books in his arms, and gave it to Toby. His expression seemed to say, it is your honor to get the book signed by me.

"Thank you, Mr. Lockhart."

Toby said that Lockhart's books are not cheap, and now that they are offered to him for nothing, of course he will not refuse.

"However, Mr. Lockhart, my good friend Jamie is also a fan of your books. He likes reading your books very much. I wonder if you can give him a set too."

"I know, Mr. Lockhart, you are so generous, you shouldn't refuse a poor little wish?"

Toby blinked and seemed to be saying that a generous person like you wouldn't be stingy with a few books, right?

"Oh! Of course, since your friend is my book fan, of course I am willing to satisfy him. I will satisfy any book fan's request.

Gilderoy · Lockhart said with a smile, just two sets of books, of course he can afford it.

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

"Here, here's a free book for you, don't take it for nothing."

Leaving the scope of Lihen Bookstore, Toby handed Jamie a stack of books.

"Break With a Banshee, Traveling with Ghouls, Vacation with a Hag, Walking with a Troll, Sailing with a Vampire, Wandering with a Werewolf, With the Yeti" A Year Together", "I Can Be Magical""

Jamie flipped through the books.

"It's no wonder that Gilderoy Lockhart's book is so popular. The title of the book is good, which makes people want to read it. He is really a marketing genius!"

Jamie exclaimed.

To make people want to read a novel, the first thing is to have a good title so that people will have the idea of ​​wanting to read it, and secondly, the content must be lively and interesting.

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

…… Ask for flowers………

"Mr. Grindelwald, how do you look, are you sure you can pretend to be Gilderoy Lockhart?"

Toby asked with a smile, he knew that Grindelwald had been staring at Gilderoy Lockhart since just now, the purpose was to familiarize himself with Gilderoy Lockhart's habits, way of speaking, etc.

It is not so simple to dress up as another person. Perhaps the body shape and face can be changed with body deformation.

But a person's habits, way of speaking, behavior, etc., are not so easy to dress up.

It's okay to meet strangers, but once you meet acquaintances, it's easy to be exposed.

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

"There is never anything I can't do, but this person is really special, I don't need to observe him more.

Grindelwald said flatly.

"Okay, you continue to observe here, and we will go to other shops in Diagon Alley."

Toby said.

Diagon Alley is the busiest commercial street in the magic world of Eagle Country. There are many shops here. It can be said that there is everything you can eat, drink, and play. As long as you have enough money, you can enjoy the best clothes here.

"Diagon Alley is actually pretty good here, but the area is too small after all."

Toby and Jamie sat down at an ice cream parlor after walking around Diagon Alley several times.

"There are not many wizards in the magic world of Eagle Country, you can't compare this place with the Muggle commercial street.

For example, this place is very prosperous, but if you compare it with the commercial street, it is like a small town market, maybe even the small town market can't compare

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

"Hi! Toby, Jamie, why are you also in Diagon Alley?"?

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

"School will start soon, of course we are here to purchase, there are quite a lot of books to buy this year."

Toby said.

"Yeah, I didn't even know that there were so many books to buy this year.

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

"However, have you bought those books?"

Hermione asked curiously, and naturally sat down on the empty seat next to Toby, Harry and Ron also sat down.

"Of course I bought it, and it didn't cost a penny. The author of the book personally gave it to us."
