Hogwarts: From The Obscure To The Dark Lord

“No penny was spent!”

"Free!"

Harry, Ron and Hermione were very surprised.

"You see, this "Magic Me" is the autobiography of Gilderoy Lockhart, with his signature on it.

Toby took out a book and opened the cover. On the first page was the signature written by Gilderoy Lockhart himself. The handwriting was very good, probably because Gilderoy Lockhart signed too many names.

"It's wonderful to have Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart's signature!"

Hermione was very envious.

As for Harry and Ron, they didn't feel much, and Ron even had an annoying feeling towards Gilderoy Lockhart, because of this person, their Weasley family was going to spend a lot of money this year.

"Actually, you can also get Gilderoy Lockhart's autographed book. You only need a little trick to get a free book."

Jamie said.

"Is this true, Jamie, how do we get to the autographed book of Mr. Lockhart "Seven Seven"?"?

Hermione asked hastily.

Harry and Ron on the side also stared at Jamie closely, Harry is nothing, he is a rich second generation, let alone a set of books, even if it is dozens of sets of books, hundreds of sets of books, he can buy rise.

Ron wants to get free books the most. Their family’s financial situation is already very bad. Gilderoy Lockhart’s books are also very expensive.

Actually asked them to buy a whole set of books.

"If you want to get free books, your hope lies in Harry."

Jamie said.

"Harry, do you know that Gilderoy Lockhart?"?

Ron hurriedly asked, if Harry knew that Gilderoy Lockhart, maybe he could get a few sets of books for free, which would save his family a lot of money.

"I don't know, I don't know that Gilderoy Lockhart at all, why do you say that, Jamie?"

Harry wondered why Jamie said he would get a free book, the hope was on him, he didn't know Gilderoy Lockhart.

"First I ask you a question, do you know anything about Ged Lockhart?"

Toby took a bite of ice cream before asking.

"I know that Gilderoy Lockhart is an internationally renowned person and writer. He is a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class. He is also an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League. He has won the most charming smile award from "Wizard Weekly" five times."

"He also wrote many books, such as "Gilderoy Lockhart teaches you how to get rid of household pests", "Gilderoy Lockhart series"

Hermione's things about Gilderoy Lockhart can be said to be very familiar, it seems that Gilderoy Lockhart is her idol.

"It seems that Hermione, you really know Gilderoy Lockhart very well."

Toby said, being able to know Gilderoy Lockhart so clearly and explain it in such detail is undoubtedly a die-hard fan.

"Of course, Mr. Lockhart is really good."

Hermione took it for granted, with a twinkle in her eye at the mention of Gilderoy Lockhart.

As for Harry and Ron, they were so dazzled by Hermione's words that they couldn't tell what was what.

"And do you know the character of Gilderoy Lockhart?"?

Toby asked again.

"Mr. Lockhart's character?"?

Hermione couldn't answer for a while, she didn't know Gilderoy Lockhart's character at all, she only knew that he must be very powerful after writing so many books and receiving so many honors.

"He's supposed to be...a serious guy? Like Professor McGonagall, or like Professor Dumbledore?"?

Hermione said tentatively.

"Wrong, it's completely different. Gilderoy Lockhart's character is very narcissistic and very coquettish. He has a thick skin, likes to hear all kinds of good words, and likes to make friends with famous people.

Jamie said.

"Jamie, how can you speak ill of Mr. Lockhart like that!"

Hermione was a little annoyed, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart was her idol.

"What I'm saying is the truth. Adults have two sexes. They have one side in front of others and another side behind them. You only know about Hermione from books, but do you really know Gilderoy Lockhart? "

Jamie shrugged.

"..."

Hermione opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found that she couldn't say anything. Indeed, she only knew about Gilderoy Lockhart's various deeds from books, but she had never met Gilderoy Lockhart with her own eyes.

"So, Harry, if you just go to Lihen Bookstore to buy books later, Gilderoy Lockhart will definitely pull you to take pictures with him, because you are very famous in the wizarding world."

"Gilderoy Lockhart likes to make friends with people like you the most. After the photo is taken, he will generously give you a signed autobiographical book - "I Can Magic""

"Then, you only need to say a few good words to him, such as praise, and you can ask him to give you a set of books, and he will definitely not refuse."

"Then, you say that you have a few friends who are also fans of his books, and hope that he can send them some sets of books, so you can continue to say good things to him."

"Gilderoy Lockhart will definitely not refuse, in this way, won't you all get free books... 11

Toby said.

"But...that's not good, is it?"

Harry was a little hesitant, he always felt that it was not good to take advantage of others, since he had money now, he could just buy it.

"Don't be silly, Harry, do you know how much money Gilderoy Lockhart has earned from selling books, let alone tens of thousands of Galleons, it's just a few sets of books, it's nothing to him.

Jamie said that Gilderoy Lockhart's books are all bestsellers, and the prices are not cheap, not to mention that they are very popular in Eagle Country, even in Europe, they are also very popular.

"Tens of thousands of Galleons! Merlin's beard!"

Ron exclaimed, eyes widening.

He has never seen so many Galleons, tens of thousands of Galleons, it must be such a big pile of gold coins, Weasley's gold curry noodle, there is only one pitiful Gold Galleon, and the rest are silver Sickle and Tonnart.

"Besides, there are free ones, why spend money on them, no one's money comes from the wind.

Jamie said.

"Harry, I think this method is good, you can try it."

Ron said to Harry on the side, if Harry could really get a few sets of free books, that would be great.

"Harry, I know you're not short of money, but if you think about Ron and the others, Gilderoy Lockhart's book is a very big expense for their family."

Toby whispered to Harry that although the Weasley family was poor, they had dignity, just like Ron, although he was very moved, he didn't ask Harry to ask for books for them.

That's what a real friend is. 5.8

Harry thought of the kindness of the Weasley family to him, and thought of what he saw of Kim Curry from the Weasley family, and felt that what Toby said was right.

Everyone in the Weasley family is very friendly to him, and he also wants to help the Weasley family as much as possible if possible.

"Oh, Ron, I think I'll give it a try, but I don't know how to do it, Toby, can you teach me?"?

said Harry.

"Of course, it's very simple. As long as you do and say what I teach you, then you will succeed."

Toby said with a smile.

After leaving the ice cream shop, a group of people walked towards Lihen Bookstore. When they came to Lihen Bookstore, the place was still overcrowded, mostly middle-aged witches, even though they had obtained Gilderoy Lockhart's book, they were unwilling to leave.

"Harry, go ahead and start your show."

Toby said to Harry with a smile.

"Harry, come on!"

Ron also encouraged Harry.

"Okay, then I'll go."
