Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 119 Flourish and Blotts Bookstore

Because Rolf was a freshman and had a lot to buy, everyone set out early.

After arriving at Diagon Alley, they also split up as agreed in advance-

Rolf's mother took him to buy a suitable wand, and his father went to buy things like crucibles.

Steven and Wade went to the pharmacy first.

Wade wanted to order some potion materials and ask the store manager to mail them to school after arriving.

The shops in Diagon Alley have been doing business with Hogwarts students all year round. The reputation in this regard has been accumulated over the years, and there is no worry that they will break the contract.

Steven wanted to buy some powder to repel insects for catkins, and then sell some materials he collected from the farm, such as Mothra rat juice.

After a round, everyone agreed to meet at the ice cream shop. Wade and Steven sat down at a table outside the store to rest for a while, drink something, and then waited for Rolf who had just ordered a new school robe.

"Mom, please buy me a Filipa firework." Rolf was pulling Mrs. Scamander's sleeve and begging, "Even one will do!"

"No." Mrs. Scamander gently refused, "The school doesn't allow you to bring this kind of thing."

"I won't take it to school, I'll set it off at home." Rolf said, "I want to see what it looks like when it blooms when it sees water."

"Buy it for him." Rolf's father also pleaded with his son, "How can a child not have toys?"

Then on the way to Flourish and Blotts, they first turned to the Magic Joke Shop.

Rolf was dazzled by the various magic fireworks, and Wade bought some of each. Steven also recommended him a can of colorful candy.

"This is very interesting. After eating it, a plant will emerge from the top of your head. It will be gone in a few minutes, so don't worry about it being harmful to your body."

Steven said as he took two cans himself.

There are also automatically shuffling playing cards, feather pens that suddenly turn into big spiders, lifelike toads that can spray out foul odors, and so on.

Wade had no interest in these trick toys, so he put them down after taking a look.

There were more people around Flourish and Blotts than expected, but most of them were gathered outside, and most of them were middle-aged witches.

They lined up in a winding line at the door, holding one or two books in their hands, and occasionally tidying their hair or patting the hem of their skirts.

Several adults hesitated in front of the crowd, and Wade pulled Rolf and flexibly got in through the gap in the crowd.

Most people went to the book signing event, so there were fewer people in the store. The two told the clerk their age, and the young man skillfully took out two packed packages.

"Do you want new books?" Seeing that they were both children, the clerk kindly reminded them: "If you want second-hand books, you can get a discount."

"New books are fine, thank you."

Wade and Rolf both took out Galleons to pay.

Gilderoy Lockhart's books are not cheap, and two heavy bags of Galleons were placed on the table.

The two of them held the books and went out of the bookstore again. They saw Gilderoy Lockhart holding Harry's hand and letting the reporter take a photo. People around were talking excitedly, but Harry looked like he wanted to escape.

"Harry Potter? He's here too?"

When Rolf heard Harry's name, he tried to tiptoe and stretch his neck to see.

Unfortunately, he was too short, and there were densely packed backs in front of him, so he couldn't see the black-haired boy at all.

Seeing that Rolf was almost hit by the crowd, Vider pulled him and asked, "Curious?"

"Of course!" Rolf said excitedly, "I grew up listening to his stories! I heard that he once again thwarted the conspiracy of the mysterious man not long ago. Is it true?"

"It's true. But you don't have to squeeze now. When you get to school, you can see him every day."

"Then can I take a photo with him?" Rolf asked, "I want to hang his photo on my wall."

Ved said, "I have a camera. But you have to ask him for his opinion on whether you can take a photo."

Ved dragged Rolf out, and he could hear Lockhart's voice from behind--

"I am extremely happy and proud to announce that this September, I will become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

--Fortunately, I have found a truly capable Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for myself.

Ved muttered in his heart.

If not, he would have to find a way to get rid of this Lockhart.

Wade sent Rolf back to his parents safely, and heard the boy excitedly say to his parents: "Mom and Dad, guess who's there?"

"Lockhart?" Mr. Scamander responded.

"No, it's Harry Potter! He's taking a photo with Mr. Lockhart, and the reporter is taking photos of them!"

Rolf jumped excitedly: "I'm going to be a classmate of Harry Potter!"

"Be careful." Mrs. Scamander wiped the sweat from his forehead and reminded him: "Also, don't ask him about his scar, and don't ask him about the first time he defeated the mysterious man, remember?"

"Why, Mom? I'm so curious!" Rolf shouted.

"Silly boy, he lost his parents at that time!" Mrs. Scamander said gently.

The crowd suddenly became chaotic, some people were screaming, and some people were hiding in a hurry.

Wade heard one of the Weasley twins shouting: "Beat him, Dad!"

And Mrs. Weasley shouted: "Don't do this, Arthur, don't do this!"

"Try this, Ron Weasley!" Malfoy's voice was particularly clear.

"I think I heard the name of an acquaintance." Wade stuffed other things to Steven: "Help me get it first, I'll go see what's going on."

He squeezed into the crowd again and saw Hagrid easily separating Ron's father Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy, one in each hand.

Ron and Malfoy, who were fighting in a ball, were also pulled apart by Harry. He secretly took sides, and Malfoy's eye socket was black and blue by Ron's punch.

Lucius Malfoy's light golden hair was covered with dust. He struggled to break free from Hagrid's arms and stuffed the worn-out Transfiguration textbook to Ginny Weasley.

"Take your book!" He said arrogantly and disdainfully: "This is the best thing your father can give you."

Wade hid his wand in his sleeve and shook it gently. Ginny suddenly seemed to be pushed and staggered and fell.

"Lucius Malfoy, you actually hit a child!"

Arthur Weasley was immediately furious and was about to rush over to fight, but was stopped by Hagrid again.

"Too much!" The half-blood giant was also angry. He looked at Malfoy with contempt: "If this is all you can do, you'd better not show up in front of me!"
