Chapter 71 - Lijian Bookstore
Arrived at the door of Lizhen Bookstore, and they discovered that the bookstore was full of people. The banner on the store door says that it is Lockhart’s new bookmark sale today.
“This is much more fanatical than Daddy fans.” Ryan murmured to a large crowd of middle-aged witches.
“We can see him in person!” Hermione said to Ryan, “After all, almost all the books on the list are written by him!”
“He may be really powerful, but the act of using the novel as a textbook is a bit too …”
“What you said makes sense. Mr. Lambert’s novels are not bad, but they can never be used as textbooks.” Hermione seemed to be awake.
Lane saw Harry and Ron standing in front of the team holding the book and waiting for the signature, while Mrs. Weasley sorted her hair a little nervously at the end, and Ginny followed her.
Of course, when Ryan and Hermione came to Mrs. Weasley, they heard Mrs. Weasley whispered to Ginny: “Oh, sorry, dear, most of the things can only be bought for you, because Lockhart’s novels Not cheap. “
“It doesn’t matter, Mom, textbooks are still very important. I don’t mind these.” Ginny also whispered.
At this time, a group of people squeezed over and squeezed Ryan to the door, and the twins came right outside the door. Ryan said to the twins, “How am I bringing things this time, right?”
“Something is fine.” Fred said. “But can the payment be paid to you later? Recently, I have a little tight hands.” George continued.
“It’s okay, when I have the money to pay me. It’s just that I think your family is a bit patriarchal. Ron had new robes when he went to school last year. Why did Ginny buy her a girl this year? Old robe. “
“Hey, it ’s not because of Lockhart ’s new book. We are going to buy five sets in one go, so we can only buy old robes for Ginny. That ’s why the payment for you is a bit late, we want to give Ginny Send a few new quills and ink. “
“Wait, why do you want five sets of books?” Ryan asked.
“There are five people in our family going to school, of course, five sets of books.” Fred said.
“No, I mean, since all the books you need this year are the same. You are not in the same grade, and you will not take the black magic defense class at the same time. Why do n’t you brothers exchange each other? Just take notes and take a notebook. That ’s enough for one or two sets of books. ”Ryan said as he looked at the twins.
“Yeah, why didn’t we think of it.” The twins looked at each other and squeezed into the store desperately, looking to find their mother.
Ryan stood in front of the store and saw Lockhart hugging Harry to take pictures and rub the heat. This is exactly the same as taking a photo with the u2 band when he met the members of the u2 band at the signing meeting of Lain’s father, Mr. Lambert.
No wonder Lockhart can have so many fans, this level of operator set is close to the online hype team decades later. It can be said that it is decades ahead of the times. Not to mention that Lockhart is really handsome. If you do n’t know that he is a straw bale, it ’s really easy to be charmed by him.
Ryan couldn’t help but squeeze into the shop and saw the famous scene of Harry’s sister: he put a whole set of Lockhart’s new novels in Ginny’s crucible.
Was followed by a fight between Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley caused by personal grievances. In this chaos, Ryan took the Grangers to a safe corner of the bookstore to avoid the chaos.
Standing around the corner, Mr. Granger asked with a little worry: “Is the wizarding world always so chaotic, and is that kind of discrimination common?”
Ryan knew that they were worried about her daughter ’s life here, so she said with relief: “This kind of racist-like person is not too much, and knowledge in the wizarding world is equal to strength. Hermione learns well, so generally no one provokes her. “
After listening to Ryan’s explanation, Mr. Granger seemed relieved. At this time, the fight between Weasley and Malfoy was stopped by Hagrid. Ryan and Granger and the three of them also walked out of the bookstore with the flow of people. Mrs. Granger still looked a little scared, and Mr. Granger had been comforting her by the side.
At the door, Ryan met the Weasleys and Hermione. Hermione quickly ran up to ask her parents and thanked Ryan: “Thank you for helping me comfort my parents. I’m really scared that they are too worried about me because they see these.”
“No need to thank, we are friends.” Lane replied. After a group of people walked to the location of the broken cauldron, Ryan deliberately fell at the end and walked with Ginny. Then she pretended to have just discovered the old book in Ginny’s crucible and said to her: “Do you also appreciate the knowledge contained in the old book?”
Ginny was startled and turned her head to look at Ryan. She recognized Ryan as a friend of his brothers.
“Hello, my name is Ryan Liang, you can call me Ryan. Every time I come to Diagon Alley, I will look for various old books with interesting or useful notes in the second-hand goods store. I have gained a lot of useful knowledge from it. It ’s just that this kind of behavior is generally not understood by others, so today I read that you bought old books, so I came here to find the same kind of friends. I ’m sorry if it bothers you. ”
“I know you.” Ginny raised her head and said, “Ron said that you were second in the grade last year and one of his best friends ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ also told me that I didn’t understand you clearly Money to buy new books. Why go to the old bookstore and toss and go. “
After that, Ryan and Ginny chatted for a while. When he was about to break the cauldron bar, Ryan patted his forehead and said, “You are going to Hogwarts to go to school this year. I should give you a gift as a friend of your brother.” After finishing speaking, he took out the old notebook he had prepared in advance from his back pocket and gave it to Ginny.
“This is my notes, I hope to help you.” Ginny took the gift happily and put it in the crucible.
At this time, Ryan saw the black notebook in the shabby textbook of Metamorphosis in Ginny’s crucible. He pointed to the book and pretended to be surprised, saying: “God, you have started to take notes before you go to school. It’s amazing. “
Ginny took out the book and looked at it, then shook her head and said, “This doesn’t seem to be my notebook.” Then I opened it, and there was nothing in it.
Lane looked at the faded date on the cover of the notebook to show that it was fifty years ago. On the first page, only one name recognized in obscure ink: Tom Riddle. The back cover is printed with the name of a newspaper dealer in Vauxhall Road, London, which looks like an antique notebook.
“Who is Tom Riddle?” Ginny said curiously. “It may be that the people at the thrift store did not look at the book carefully.”
Seeing Ryan staring at the notebook intently, Ginny handed the notebook to Ryan and said, “Since you like it, I will give it to you, and I will receive your gift in return.”
Ryan expressed gratitude and put the book in the schoolbag, and told Ginny that this ordinary notebook fifty years ago was still so well preserved. It was rare for him to give this to his father who likes antiques.
