Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

"Uh...as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, uh, thank you for your support."

Lockhart's momentum was obviously weakened, like a deflated balloon.Although there was thunderous applause in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, many people were whispering about Lockhart's abnormal behavior.

"I'm sorry, because the fans are so enthusiastic, my hands are a little tired - after all, I'm still injured from fighting the man-eating demon in the Alps." Lockhart seemed to have lost interest in Harry and let go. Harry's arm, "The signing ceremony will be paused for 10 minutes and will continue later!"

There was a sigh of disappointment in the crowd, but Lockhart ignored it, just walked up to Dudley with his head lowered and pulled Dudley away.

Lockhart walked to the warehouse of the bookstore, out of sight of the crowd, and then let go of Dudley's arm, looking a little flustered.

"Why are you here...I thought you were French and studied at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Lockhart whispered, "I remember your name is Da... What's up...Dabi?"

"My name is Dudley, Dudley Dursley." Dudley sighed and said, "Don't worry, you will remember my name soon, right, Professor Lockhart."

Lockhart glanced around nervously to make sure no one could hear their conversation before continuing: "You know Dudley, those things about the Alps..."

Dudley, Dudley tapped the copy of "Dealing with the Cannibals of the Alps" with his fingers, and showed a meaningful smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Lockhart to write books a bit fast. If he writes on the Internet, Wen’s words will definitely become a hit.”

"What the Internet article is... is not the question." Lockhart lowered his voice and said, "You know, they thought this book was my personal experience, but in fact I did a little bit of it. Small changes..."

"Don't worry, since this is part of the deal between Dumbledore and you, of course I will cooperate." Dudley waved his hand and said: "Also, it would be good to have a good relationship with the future Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. s Choice."

Hearing Dudley's words, Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief, patted Dudley on the shoulder, and showed his signature smile: "Not bad, I didn't expect you to be quite sensible."

"However, I think the sales of this book seem to be quite good." Dudley looked at Lockhart with a smile, "I think Professor Lockhart should make a lot of royalties from this."

Lockhart was also a man, and he immediately understood the meaning of Dudley's words. After struggling for a moment, he said with a heartbroken face: "After all, you are the provider of the story, so I still need to pay you some copyright fees." ...Let's do this, [-]% of the royalties from this book...er, [-]%..."

Dudley didn't care how much. Being able to make a fortune with Lockhart was just an unexpected blessing. The important thing was to have a good relationship with Lockhart, and after having a connection of interests, Lockhart would not be so interested in him. Big alert.

In fact, Dudley didn't hate people like Lockhart. To be honest, managing reputation and writing skills were also part of his ability. It was quite powerful to be so vain that he could become world-famous without revealing his secrets.

Of course, it is quite unethical to plagiarize other people's experiences and cast amnesia spells, so you must be careful when dealing with such people.But beyond that, Lockhart's illustrious reputation is also a resource worth utilizing.

"By the way, didn't you have a beautiful girlfriend when you were in France?" Lockhart seemed to have thought of something, and became a little nervous again, "I remember her name was...what?" With? Uh... Qiangwei?"

"You are talking about Fleur, she is not my girlfriend." Dudley said angrily, "And you really have to remember her name. After all, you kidnapped her sister."

"Yes, that's the Veela mixed-blood girl." Lockhart asked in a low voice, "She should be from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, right?"

"Fleur is indeed a student of Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry." After hearing Dudley's first words, Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief, but Dudley's next words made him turn pale, "But she will be a member of the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry next school year. Exchange students from Gewoz come here to take classes.”

"It's over, she will definitely expose me." Lockhart slapped his head and said desperately: "She probably still hates me for kidnapping her sister... If I had known that, she wouldn't have agreed to come to Hog Now that Woz is teaching, I originally thought I could add another qualification as a label."

"You deserve it. Fleur deserves to hate you for doing such a wicked thing." Dudley looked at Lockhart with disdain, "But you don't have to worry too much. Fleur is also a sensible girl. She should know that you and Deng Blido has made a deal. And I will help persuade her, after all, I won’t just watch you being exposed after accepting your money.”

Hope rekindled in Lockhart's eyes. Just as he was about to continue chatting with Dudley about how to persuade Fleur, suddenly there was a noise from the bookstore outside.

"What's going on? The book signing will resume soon. Please be patient." Lockhart and Dudley returned to the bookstore lobby to see what was going on. They saw the crowd forming a big circle, and in the In the center of the large circle, two tall figures in robes were fighting fiercely - in close combat.

"Stop, Arthur, stop it, don't do this, the children are all here!" Mrs. Weasley's voice could be heard shouting loudly.

"Hit him, dad, beat him, dig him out!" I don't know which child of the Weasley family cheered.

Dudley remembered that Hagrid should have intervened at this time in the book, but today Hagrid was probably absent from all the events in Diagon Alley - Dudley suddenly remembered that the carnivorous slugs in the school had long been killed by Norbert When the snacks ran out, Hagrid didn't have to buy medicine to keep away the flesh-eating slugs.

"Publishing this scene in the newspaper might increase the popularity of the autograph session..." Lockhart muttered quietly next to Dudley.

"Lockhart, help stop them, hurry up!" Dudley whispered to Lockhart beside him. Although Lockhart looked reluctant, because Dudley had something in his hands, he still went with Dudley. They squeezed into the inner circle formed by the crowd.

"Stop fighting, Mr. Weasley. If you fight again, you will beat the shit out of Mr. Lucius!" Although it was a fight, Arthur's physique seemed to be a little stronger than Lucius's. Arthur kept beating Lucius's head. Pressed to the ground and beaten, Lucius was not to be outdone and injured Arthur's lip with the snake-headed staff in his hand.

"Okay, okay, leave this matter to me. Let's all disperse. The autograph session will be held later." Although he has a talent for magic, he is still a wizard who has traveled all over the country to travel and explore. Lockhart's physique was still relatively solid, and with the cooperation of Dudley, he finally separated the entangled two people.
