"Both Harry Potter and his classmates will get a real me who can do magic when Hogwarts starts school on September 1st!"

The crowd immediately applauded and cheered.

Several middle-aged wizards, who were not sure whether they were fans or agents, even cried with excitement.

It seemed that as long as Lockhart went to Hogwarts, the students there would be safe.

As long as Lockhart goes... the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class will no longer exist! Amid the cheers, Harry suddenly felt his arm sink. He lowered his head and found that he had actually received a complete set of Gilderoy Lockhart's works. It was so heavy that he was a little shaky when he walked.

But the good news is that he finally doesn't have to stay here anymore.

Harry trudged out of the center of attention and over to the wall.

Kyle was here, chatting with Ginny.

"These are for you... I'll buy some myself." Harry poured the books in his hand into Ginny's new cauldron, then looked at Kyle and couldn't help asking, "Where did you go just now?"

"Oh, I see you guys are having a great time chatting, so I'll go buy some other textbooks first." Kyle pointed to a pile of books on the long table next to him.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he took the opportunity to dive into the crowd when Lockhart called out Harry's name.

I originally wanted to avoid Lockhart, but unexpectedly, I just happened to avoid Harry's backstab...

This old guy has learned very bad things now.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Kyle asked without changing his expression.

"No, nothing!"

Harry was stunned by the thick pile of books. He counted them and found there were seventeen in total.

Although he knew that there would be two more elective courses in the third grade, this was still too exaggerated.

"It's just two more courses...do I need to buy so many books?" Harry asked with difficulty.

"Normally it's not necessary, but I've chosen too many courses."

Kyle explained, "And you need five books on Ancient Runes, plus seven books on Defense Against the Dark Arts. Just these two courses take up two-thirds of the total."

"Ancient Runes..." Harry secretly swore in his heart that he would never choose this course with an unfriendly name next year.

After a brief chat, Kyle took the book to the counter to pay.

Because of the book signing event, Flourish and Blotts transferred most of the staff to Lockhart and opened a one-stop service for book selection, signing, and checkout.

But this only applies to Lockhart's books, other books still need to be paid for at the counter.

Due to the short staff and the fact that school was about to start, there were a lot of people in the store. Kyle waited in line for a long time before he finally paid.

When he packed the books and came back, he saw Mr. Weasley confronting a middle-aged man with blond hair.

His face looked extremely ugly and he looked extremely serious.

"If you are really not afraid of being checked, as you say, why did you sneak to Knockturn Alley?"

"Speak with evidence, Weasley." Lucius Malfoy said in a long voice, "I only brought Draco to Flourish and Blotts to buy his textbooks for next year. I have never been to Knockturn Alley."

"But you... with all the raids, they must have paid you overtime."

Lucius Malfoy reached into Ginny's cauldron and pulled out a tattered copy of The Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration.

"I'm afraid that based on the current situation, there is no...

What good is being a wizarding scum if you can't even get a good reward?"

Mr. Weasley's face was even redder than Harry's on the stage just now.

"Apparently," said Lucius Malfoy.

He rolled his eyes and looked at the Grangers who were watching them anxiously.

"Look at the friends you keep...hanging out with Muggles, Weasley. I thought your family had fallen to the limit."

With a clang, Ginny's cauldron flew out.

Because it happened so quickly, Kyle didn't even see whether it was Mr. Weasley who threw it or Ginny herself.

But it didn't matter anymore. The crucible was like the fuse that lit a powder keg, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

Although Lucius Malfoy dodged the cauldron in time, he was knocked into a bookshelf by Mr. Weasley who followed him.

Dozens of thick spell books fell down and knocked him unconscious.

"How dare you bump into me!" Lucius got up and hit Mr. Weasley with the snake-shaped cane in his hand.

But the next second, a big hand grabbed his arm tightly.

Hagrid strode over, stepping on the books scattered all over the floor, and pulled him up in the blink of an eye.

Lucius Malfoy didn't seem ready to give up, but he couldn't break free from Hagrid's hand and could only glare at Mr. Weasley fiercely.

“This matter is not over yet!”

"Let's go, Draco..."

Lucius shook off Hagrid and turned to walk out the door.

When passing by the crucible, he had a vicious light in his eyes, turned his back to everyone and threw the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" that he had been holding in his hand into the crucible.

"Yes, little girl, keep your book...it's the best thing your father can give you!"

After that, he took Draco Malfoy and left Flourish and Blotts.

"Luckily Kyle called me over."

Hagrid reached out to smooth Mr. Weasley's robes and almost lifted him up. "You shouldn't pay attention to him, Arthur. That guy is so bad, there is no good person in his family... What they say is not worth listening to."

Mr. Weasley said nothing.

It was Ginny who threw the cauldron, so he had to take action just now to draw everyone's attention to himself.

And to be honest, he had always wanted to do this... After beating up Malfoy, he felt refreshed.

It felt like drinking a cup of hot butterbeer in winter, and I felt indescribably comfortable all over.

Hagrid straightened Mr. Weasley's robes and led everyone out of Flourish and Blotts.

"Come on, let's go out!"

The clerks seemed to want to stop Mr. Weasley, but the tallest one among them was only as tall as Hagrid's waist, so they didn't dare to do anything.

Several people were walking down the street, Mr. and Mrs. Granger were shaking with fear, and Hermione was comforting them.

Mrs. Weasley was still angry about what had just happened.

"Setting a good example for the children... Fighting in public... What would Gilderoy Lockhart think..."

"He was so happy!" said Fred. "He even asked the man from the Daily Prophet if he could include the fight in the report..."
