Looking at Mrs. Weasley's passionate eyes, Douglas really couldn't refuse.
Douglas originally planned to go to the Leaky Cauldron, but Percy obviously had no interest in shopping.
The two of them chatted about their experiences in the past few years.
Mainly Percy talked about what happened in school in the past few years.
When passing by Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore, I saw a lot of people gathered at the door from a distance.
And there is a big banner hanging upstairs in the bookstore.
'Gilderoy Lockhart autographed autobiography "Magic Me" for sale today 12:30-4:30pm'
The entire team seemed to be filled with people around Mrs. Weasley's age.
There was a tired-looking wizard standing at the door.
Said over and over again:
"Ladies... Ladies... be quiet, please don't crowd..."
Douglas looked through the crowd of heads and saw Slane standing in front.
So he squeezed through with Percy.
Putting a hand on Slane's shoulder, he asked with a smile:
"I thought you would be checking the manuscript in the office..."
Slaine was startled and turned around quickly to find that it was Douglas.
"No way, this is a valuable learning opportunity, what if I have to hold this kind of autograph session one day.
Look at Jarvis next to Lockhart, that's his editor...
However, I thought you didn't like to join in the fun,
You might as well come and take a look and learn from the experience.
I think if you hold a book signing, the scene will definitely be bigger than this...
Don’t you know how many fans you have? What’s wrong? "
Although Slane lowered his voice later, it was obvious that Percy, who had been following him, heard some of it.
Douglas saw a pair of surprised eyes and quickly interrupted Slane's bewitchment.
He introduced the two of them to each other:
"This is a good friend of mine, Mr. Slane.
This is the Weasley child, Percy. "
But Percy was so surprised that he didn't bother to say hello to Slaine.
He asked directly excitedly:
"Does the boss also write a book? What is the title of the book? Why have I never read it?"
When Slaine heard Percy's name, he glanced at Douglas in surprise and blinked.
Douglas rolled his eyes at the troublemaker and guessed that he must have done it on purpose.
He wanted to pretend to accidentally reveal his identity without violating the contract.
This will satisfy his desire to hold various large-scale signing events.
If I had known earlier, I would have made an unbreakable vow.
Most importantly, Douglas didn't take it to heart. He was worried that his reputation in the magical world would be too great.
It would be troublesome if the resurrected Voldemort targeted him.
But now he has become a professor at Hogwarts.
It was only a matter of time before he faced Voldemort.
The premise is that he can save 10,000 points before the end of the school year.
Lift that curse.
Douglas lowered his head, smiled and said to Percy:
"This is not the place to talk. I'll ask Slane to give you a set of my books later.
I guess Bill and Charlie didn't give you the book I gave them.
But keep it a secret for me! "
Douglas then raised his head and looked at Lockhart, who was surrounded by large photos of himself.
And Percy seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked at Douglas's back with wide eyes.
But he shook his head again, thinking that was impossible.
If he remembered correctly, when that set of books first appeared, Douglass would have been in first or second grade...
But in his impression, Bill and Charlie did have two sets of identical books, and he even borrowed them to read.
But when the two left home, they took the book with them.
It is said to be used for leisure time.
In the magic photo, Lockhart winked at the crowd and showed his dazzling white teeth.
Look at the real Lockhart, wearing a blue robe like a forget-me-not flower, which just matches his blue eyes.
Douglas nudged Slane beside him with his elbow:
"You think I look good like this?"
Slane glanced sideways at Douglas and asked doubtfully:
"You don't think this looks good?"
Douglas suddenly felt that he might as well continue writing books in a vest.
He didn't want to end up like Lockhart, looking like a peacock with its tail spread.
Then Douglas squeezed through the crowd and reached the bookstore counter.
I bought a set of first grade textbooks and quit.
Slane looked at the textbook in Douglas' hand and asked curiously:
"Who are you buying textbooks for?"
Before Douglas could speak, Percy said in surprise:
"Boss, you didn't buy this for Ginny, did you? Did you lie to your mother?"
Douglas handed the book in his hand to Percy, then patted him on the shoulder seriously and said:
"Young man, it seems that I have forgotten all the little stories I told you before.
This is not deception, it is just a way of saying it so that the other person can accept the gift with peace of mind.
Don't let it slip for a while. "
Slane on the side snorted.
"Hmph! Don't teach this child bad ways of politicians.
No wonder you can write those novels, you know a lot, it would be a pity not to become the Minister of Magic..."
While the two were chatting, they soon saw Mrs. Weasley running over anxiously with Ginny in hand.
On the other side, there was Arthur leading a couple, walking over from the direction of the Leaky Cauldron.
Douglas bid farewell to Slane, who was still watching and learning.
Taking Percy with him, he squeezed out of the crowd.
After seeing Douglas and Percy, Mrs. Weasley hurriedly left Ginny to the two.
Then I took a copy of "Magical Me" from the bookshelf.
Soon I joined the book signing and book signing team.
Percy also put the book in his hand into the cauldron carried by Ginny.
At this time, Arthur and the couple also came over.
"Hey Douglas, are you done?
I still want to have a good chat with you. Just now Mr. and Mrs. Granger told me a lot about cars in the Muggle world. "
Before Douglas could speak, Ginny was at the side, lifting the cauldron.
He quickly said to his father:
"Dad, Professor Holmes gave me a set of teaching materials..."
Percy also said:
"By the way, Dad, Mom invited the eldest son to have dinner and congratulate him on becoming a professor at Hogwarts."
Mr. Weasley was not surprised that his son called Douglas.
I heard it when I was at the Burrow.
I glanced at the new textbook in the crucible and heard that Molly had already made arrangements.
He nodded quickly:
"Of course, of course."
At this time, the couple on the side asked cautiously:
"Sorry to bother you.
Mr. Weasley just said you were a professor at Hogwarts, right? "
Mr. Weasley slapped his forehead and said with a smile:
"I forgot to introduce you, this is Douglas Holmes, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.
These two are Mr. and Mrs. Granger, oh, they are the parents of Miss Granger who were at the door of Gringotts just now.
They are Muggles..."
Arthur Weasley knew Douglas's life experience, so he didn't shy away from the latter sentence.
Looking at the Grangers pretending to be calm in the magical world, Douglas winked humorously:
"Hello, don't be nervous,
In fact, I am also a Muggle-born, just like Granger. "
Hearing Douglas' explanation, the Grangers breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were always accompanied by Mr. Weasley, they could still feel some malice from the wizard.
When I heard that the other party was just like my daughter, ordinary people became wizards,
And also became a professor at Hogwarts.
He became very friendly immediately.
