HP Approaches the Magical World

Chapter 100 Encounter with Lockhart

Jon and Bella did go to the signing, because they had to.

His "kind" mother asked him to go home with a signed book.

I don't know if this lady who just gave birth will be so excited that the whole Ministry of Magic will know about her son's plan to take her idol home.

Fortunately, Jon has made all the preparations, and has written to his grandmother to tell his grandmother to trap his mother in the manor, and to follow him all the time, taking care of the children by the way.

He has accumulated enough experience in the last incident, and when the University of Greenwich is completely on vacation in two days, he can arrange for Mr. Smith to go there as well.

At least until he mastered the memory magic, Lin Smith could only honestly take care of the children at home, and absolutely could not come out to meet idols.

It's okay to see it, anyway, you must not spread this matter.

Otherwise, once it affects Lockhart's new job a year later, it will be troublesome.

It's just that after the signing, the meeting between Jon and Lockhart is the highlight.

The book signing session is over, and Lockhart should still go to the bookstore to read books as usual. Anthony asked the bookstore clerk carefully, and found that Lockhart's coming here seems to be a living habit, not for any other reason.

It would be much easier to handle this way, Jon went through the results of the investigation in his mind, and then pushed open the door of the bookstore.

There is a clerk standing at the counter at the entrance of the bookstore, and she has a thick index in her hand, which can provide book inquiries.

Jon pretended not to be familiar with it for the first time—although it was indeed his first time, but after all, he had already been carefully checked before—reporting the names of a few books, and then greeted the female clerk kindly. Under the guidance of the teacher, he went up to the second floor.

Compared with the first floor, the second floor is indeed quieter.

Beside the huge floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, many people are holding their favorite books and standing against the bookshelf, or just find a chair nearby to sit down and bury their heads in quiet reading.

It is estimated that these Muggles are also because they do not want to buy them back, so they plan to read them directly in the bookstore.

Jon casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf, glanced around, and quickly selected a remote booth by the window.

The location was well lit, suitable for reading, and it didn't affect his waiting for Lockhart's arrival.

What Jon pulled out was a monograph on psychology. According to the survey, Lockhart has always only read this type of books, and it probably has some special effect.

Anyway, it is not easy to be disturbed in the corner, and there are not many people who are interested in books in this area of ​​psychology, so Jon is also happy to be at ease.

He really likes to read this kind of books. As long as he knows a little about popular science books, he will be very interested in reading them. Only those who don't know anything will find this kind of books boring.

Jon belongs to the kind of person who knows a little bit. In his previous life, he also watched a lot of detective and criminal psychology dramas, and he was quite interested in profiling and the like.

It’s just that the so-called profiling is really not a simple theory, not to mention that this ability can only be mastered after the theory is advanced. The requirements in the basic skills—Jon’s translation is "listening with the ears and seeing all directions with the eyes"—is just A large number of people have been crossed out, not to mention that the next step is to exercise various physical abilities by oneself.

What's even more outrageous is that Jon also saw a sense of smell in the name column...

He took a pirated book!

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with this book. Professionals who are good at psychological profiling or psychology often have excellent observation skills or rich life experiences to support their careers.

The intuition and experience of such people can often tell them how to face and deal with various possible things before something starts.

On the other hand, those who are interested in these abilities are probably those who are not capable enough to find a new way out of other aspects, but they themselves do not have the talent for this ability, otherwise they would not remain unknown.

It's just a pity that when they see a certain point of view, their eyes will suddenly light up, and they feel that they have finally found the direction of life for themselves, but they never thought that if things were that simple, he would not be here to read such a big tome book.

It is too difficult for ordinary people to change their mental outlook through psychology. Books are just books, not instructors. People become social masters who have both sides and bloom everywhere.

This kind of subject that requires comprehension is like this. People who know it don’t need to teach it, and those who don’t know it can’t learn it even if it’s taught, let alone just reading books... Except for scholars who specialize in a certain field, Jon gathers this kind of subject. I am afraid that not many people can really be helped by the book.

But Lockhart enjoyed reading these books, which, I have to say, was a strange thing.

Jon flipped through the behavioral psychology analysis in his hand, time passed little by little, and when a book was half read, Jon finally waited for Lockhart's arrival.

After all, the next door is the wizarding street here, and using magic is not something to worry about, so Jon’s [Monitoring Wind Whispers] has been open since yesterday’s autograph session—after so long, he has been able to block most of the magicians. Mostly inconsequential sounds out there.

As soon as Lockhart went upstairs, he noticed Jon's figure. After all, he read here every day, and he almost figured out who would come here every day.

However, it is not a strange thing for a child to come to the bookstore, but this position is not normal. What does a child come to the social science section instead of reading story books?

But this kind of thing is not a big deal. There are always children who like to study science, and Muggle children always have a hobby of learning. During the period of writing a new book in this city, Lockhart has also seen many such things. child.

Most of them are influenced by their parents.

He looked at it with a little emotion, and then moved his gaze up a bit, and what caught his eyes was a face that seemed to be familiar.

Where have you seen it? !

Lockhart slowly touched his head, the sequelae of reading other people's memories for a long time was exposed at this time, ordinary faces can't remember when they saw them at all.

He was squinting his eyes to search his memory, when he saw the child seemed to be aware of his gaze, and looked up.

His outfit today is a little different from usual, because there may be fans around who haven't left recently, so he dressed up deliberately, dressed more casually, and brought a pair of sunglasses.

As a result, the child exposed his identity with one sentence.
