Promotion and salary increase start at Hogwarts

But no matter how unhappy the male wizards present were, they could not change the reality, so they could only listen in silence to the fans of Lockhart's aunt applauding and cheering.

Harry was played with by Lockhart like a doll for a while. After taking countless photos, Harry found that he had obtained a complete set of Lockhart's works. It was so heavy that he was shaking a little when he walked. It was not easy for him.

After walking out of the center of public attention and coming to the wall, Ginny was standing next to her new cauldron.

"These are for you," Harry poured the book into the cauldron and said vaguely to her, "I'll buy it myself -"

Harry knew that the Weasley family was not rich because they had to buy three more sets of Lockhart's books.

"You must like this very much, Potter?" came an annoying voice that he could never mishear.

Harry straightened up and looked face to face with Draco Malfoy, who had his usual mocking smile on his face.

"Oh, look at it, the famous Harry Potter who survived," Malfoy said with a mocking look on his face, "can't even enter a bookstore without making front page news."

"Don't be ridiculous, he doesn't want that!" Ginny said.

"Hoo ho ho, look, Harry, you actually found a little girlfriend?"

Malfoy drawled, and Ginny blushed.

At this time Ron squeezed over. "Damn it, it's you, Malfoy."

"I'm actually surprised, Weasley."

Malfoy retorted, "You seem to have a lot of children in your family. Your parents have to buy so many sets of Lockhart's books for you to go to school. I'm afraid you will go hungry next month!"

"Ron!" Mr. Weasley squeezed over with Fred and George, "What are you doing? People here are crazy, let's get out."

"Oh my, isn't this Arthur Weasley?"

Lucius Malfoy appeared, putting a hand on Draco's shoulder, with the same sneer on his face as his son.

"Lucius." Mr. Weasley nodded coldly. "I thought you should be questioned at the Ministry."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Weasley. Malfoy's name is still useful in the Ministry. Not all wizards are like scum like you who would embarrass pure bloods."

Lucius Malfoy sneered, "Not to mention what impact do you think those things can have on me? They are just some inappropriate collections. Wizarding families with some background will have some, because we are too different from having too many babies.

It's different for Weasley, who comes from a poorer family. I heard you call those things dark magic items? God, those things existed before the definition of dark magic existed. You are so diligent in checking wealthy pure-blood wizarding families like ours.

, for what? For the overtime pay given to you by the ministry?"

He reached into Ginny's cauldron and pulled out a tattered copy of "The Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" from among the shiny new Lockhart books.

"It seems not. My God, what's the use of being a scum among wizards if you can't even get a good reward?"

Mr. Weasley got angry, "We have very different ideas about what it means to be a scumbag among wizards, Malfoy."

The two people who had different opinions soon started a full-scale martial arts showdown. Instead of using wands to fight, they raised their fists like Muggles. This made Luo Cheng, who had already arrived outside Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore, almost laugh out loud.

"Malfoy and Weasley, who love and kill each other? I always feel that there is a strange bond between these two people..."

By this time, Mr. Weasley was already riding on Lucius, bumping into several bookshelves in the process.

"Calculating, the time is almost the same." Luo Cheng looked at his watch, then apparated and left Diagon Alley with a smile.

"With another big drama, I think tomorrow's Daily Prophet will be very lively."

The moment Luo Cheng left, with a loud noise, a huge green shiny thing jumped into the sky above Diagon Alley.

Harry covered the scar on his forehead, and it suddenly felt hot!

"What's going on?" He heard screams from passers-by outside. At first, he thought they saw the fight between Mr. Weasley and Lucius, but Harry soon realized something was wrong. The passers-by pointed to the sky.

Scream, then turn and run away.

Harry ignored the fight between Mr. Weasley and Lucius and stumbled out into the street.

At this time, the sun was covered by clouds, and a huge skeleton hung over Diagon Alley. It was composed of countless green star-like things, and a large python emerged from the skull's mouth.

Like a tongue. As Harry watched, the skull rose higher and higher, glowing dazzlingly in a cloud of green smoke.

"The Dark Mark! The Dark Mark! Run!"

A little wizard's face was pale and he looked extremely frightened.
