The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

0125 Morning tea temperature

Lockhart's signing session has ended, and the furnishings of Lihen Bookstore have returned to their old ways.

It's just that on the poster that has not been taken off, the big white teeth full of magic are shaking people's eyes.

Although she is a loyal fan of Lockhart, now Molly can't help but have a little resentment towards her idol.

Without him, the price of the Lockhart series is not low, and the complete set of items for the youngest daughter cannot compare with the price of the 7 books.

Even if Ginny didn't have a new item of school supplies, it would be a big expense for the poor and used to the Weasleys.

Fortunately, Molly, who is smart, gentle and thrifty, has an idea.

Thanks to the shamelessness of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the book list for this course is the same in every grade.

Molly reluctantly handed over her treasure to Percy.

The witch is usually very fond of them, and they still look like new——

If you don't consider the smell of oily smoke floating above.

Obviously, Lockhart can't take two classes at the same time, and the other siblings can just switch between them when needed.

Molly couldn't help praising her wit in pain.

But now there is still a problem that cannot be circumvented.

George and Fred were going to attend classes together, so Mrs. Weasley had to grit her teeth and buy another set.

Usually the new textbooks are placed with Ginny. After all, the brothers are all in the same dormitory building, so it is much more convenient to exchange books.

What's more, as the youngest and the only daughter of the Weasley family, she should be favored by the whole family.

Just like now, knowing that the weight of seven tomes is not low, Ron took the initiative to take over the errand work.

When he came to greet Hermione, he was still carrying a big bag, which contained second-hand textbooks except for the brand-new Lockhart set meal.

Seeing a new customer enter the door, the clerk lowered his head listlessly after seeing Aini's decent attire.

There's no way, he was exhausted at the book signing a few days ago, and that blond writer was simply crazy.

What's even crazier are those witches who buy books. As a paid guy, he never wants to see those two rows of shining white teeth again in his life.

The clerk who started to doze off again didn't know that if he didn't wave himself into Azkaban, then he would definitely get what he wanted.

"Okay, these are the seven books, let's put them on the counter first."

Pulling out a stack of tomes from Lockhart's independent bookshelf, Aini estimated the area where the clerk's saliva would fall, and piled them in the corner of the table.

As for "Standard Spells (Level [-])" in the second grade book list...

Cough, Hermione bought a copy a long time ago, and now she can write silently!

"Sir, we would like to see old books and ancient books."

Aini smiled at the clerk, although in the current state of the little brother, it is not difficult to take it without telling, but the professor does not want to add some weird resumes to himself.

The dazed young man moved his head up and down, and he didn't know whether he was responding to Aini or sleeping soundly.

Aini first took Hermione to pick out ancient books.

Although most of the old books were damaged, they were obviously carefully maintained and placed in two rows of independent shelves of exclusive bookshelves.

Some even attached a small card to introduce its origin and historical value, and the price tag next to it made Hermione, who had received 300 Galleon labor fees from Ainina, a little speechless.

It is impossible to read the books by hand. Every book is enchanted. If the book is not unsealed, guests can only see the first 3 pages.

Aini rested his chin, why did he feel that this operation was inexplicably familiar?

Flipping through the bookshelves quickly, Aini didn't find any suitable reading materials for Hermione.

Perhaps many books have high cultural and historical value, but they are obviously not what girls need.

Xueba Hermione values ​​knowledge more than the carrier of knowledge.

Aini was not surprised that no suitable book was found.

For wizards, knowledge is power, literally.

Presumably those books that record precious knowledge have long been bought.

After seeing the elaborate design of the ancient books area, he had already expected this.

Then the two went to the old book area.

It is said to be the old book section, but it is actually just the innermost corner of the bookstore.

The bookstore owner attached great importance to the signing session a few days ago, and specially asked the clerk to pack all the old books here.

But Aini knew that there would probably be nothing to gain.

Judging from the bookstore's handling of ancient books, the boss is obviously a knowledgeable person.

Presumably those old books have been screened many times.

"It's okay, you can make a list for me, explaining the direction and category of books you want to read, and I will ask Capet to help you find them."

The Scamander family naturally had quite a collection of books, and in the past few years, Aini had at least doubled the size of the family library.

However, for the current little witch, it is not her paradise.

Just think of the Restricted Section in the Hogwarts library.

If the strength is insufficient, a lot of high-end knowledge in the wizarding world can be directly equated with danger.

Although he had no expectations, Aini still knelt down and picked the girl from the pile of books.

After searching, the most here are Hogwarts textbooks over the years.

Most of the textbooks used by the Weasley children come from here.

Picking up an old book with a tattered cover, he opened it and found another old divination textbook with suspicious marks scattered on the pages.

Aini expressed strong protest against the behavior of students wiping their noses on textbooks!

Putting it aside in disgust, Aini used "clean up" several times in a row before lowering his head and continuing to search.

!!!∑(?1?9Д?1?9ノ)ノ

Aini froze, and then hurriedly picked up the black book that was revealed from the pile of books before the girl reached out.

Looking at the vague name on the title page, Mr. Professor gave Lucius Malfoy a middle finger in his heart.

Don't litter nuclear waste, hey!

However, it doesn't seem to be dangerous if this thing falls into his hands... right?

Thinking about staggering the time of shopping at the same time as the Weasleys, Mr. Malfoy, who had no goals, took the opportunity to buy books for his son, and stuffed the old master's diary into the pile of old books.

Pocketing the Dark Lord's first Horcrux, Ernie twirled the non-existent beard on his chin.

Do you want Tom Meow to master another practical skill?

Like... writing?

He remembered how excited Mr. Riddle was to interact with the cats last school year.

Sure enough, how could anyone not like cute, cute and soft kittens!

☆☆☆☆☆.

Far away in Albania, enough energy was accumulated, and Voldemort once again possessed a mouse.

But this mouse obviously didn't have the ability to carry a Parseltongue. When faced with a passing Viper, it could only curl up its body, hoping to become a quiet, non-existent transparent mouse.

Seeing that the viper was about to pass by, the little mouse suddenly felt a chilling malice, and its already tense body shrank again.

"Pfft~"

Well, the whole body is clamped, but the sphincter is not clamped. It is really a sad and helpless story.

Viper, who was about to leave his field of vision, suddenly stopped, opened his mouth slightly, and turned to Tom Mouse's position.

After reporting through the smell, it vaguely sensed a heat source there.

This is... the temperature of morning tea.

"Fizz!"
