Chapter 79 Bookstore Conflict (Please Subscribe, Ask For Tickets)
Malfoy desperately wanted to hide himself from John's sight.
But just as he was about to leave, he saw a commotion in the surrounding crowd, and then the rest of the Weasley family squeezed out.
"Ron! What are you doing? It's too messy here, let's get out."
Mr. Weasley took the cauldron she was carrying from Ginny, and was about to take Harry and the others out of the bookstore.
At this moment, unlike Malfoy, a more disgusting voice sounded from the side.
"Ouch, look who this is, Arthur Weasley."
Lucius pushed away those who stood in front of him and stepped out behind Draco.
He walked up behind Draco and put his hand on Draco's shoulder, with the same sneer on his face as his son.
The moment he saw Lucius, the expression on Mr. Weasley's face turned cold, and his voice seemed to be mixed with ice.
"Lucius Malfoy!"
Lucius ignored Mr. Weasley's attitude and continued to say in a mocking tone: "I heard that my brother has been very busy with his official duties recently, so many raids...I think they paid you overtime?"
As he spoke, he put his hand into the cauldron that Mr. Weasley was carrying, and pulled out a tattered "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" from among the new and bright Lockhart's books.
"Hmm...not really, my goodness, what's the good of being the scum of wizards if you can't even get a good paycheck? Look at this battered book, it's... huh."
Although Lucius didn't say the follow-up words, everyone heard his hidden meaning. Mr. Weasley's face was even more red than Ron and Ginny.
But everyone didn't notice that Draco, who was standing in front of Lucius, looked even paler at this moment.
Because Draco accidentally discovered that John, who was standing in the corridor on the second floor just now, appeared among the nearby crowd at some point, staring at his father with indifferent eyes.
Draco wanted to stop his father, because compared to last semester's John, the current John is obviously more terrifying, as if the shackles on him have been opened, and something hidden in him has been released.
But just when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt some kind of grand will descending on him, restraining him in place, unable to make any movements.
Then he saw John point to his eyes, then to him, and Draco knew what that meant.
Immediately, the thought of wanting to stop his father was extinguished, and now he really calmed down, no longer thinking about taking his father away.
Others naturally didn't know this, and Mr. Weasley was confronting Lucius at the moment.
"We have very different ideas about what is a scum among wizards, Lucius Malfoy." Mr. Weasley said still in a cold tone
"Of course." Lucius said mockingly.
His light-colored eyeballs rolled, and his gaze fell on the Grangers, who were watching them with trepidation.
"Look at the friends you have made, Weasley... I thought your family had degenerated to the limit, but I didn't expect that you could degenerate even more, and you even had sex with dirty Muggles..."
Hearing this, Mr. Weasley could no longer hold back the anger in his heart.
Clang! !
The cauldron flew out of Mr. Weasley's hand, and the books in it were scattered all over the place, but no one cared about it at the moment.
For now Mr. Weasley had flung himself in front of Lucius, slamming him against a bookshelf, and dozens of thick spell books fell on their heads.
Fred and George shouted excitedly, "Hit him, Daddy!"
Mrs. Weasley screamed, "Don't do it, Arthur, don't do it!"
The crowd backed away in panic, knocking down more bookshelves.
"Gentlemen, please! Please!" cried the clerk.
In this chaos, like a black wolf stalking its prey, John came directly to Draco's side and covered his mouth with his hand.
Just now Draco wanted to take advantage of the chaos and attack Ron and the others.
"Draco Malfoy, it seems that the experience of last semester did not teach you to respect others. I think I should teach you a lesson that you will never forget."
As he said that, Draco felt something sharp against his waist and abdomen, and he instantly realized that it was a wand.
Trying hard to break free from John's control, but the strength from the opponent's arm and the ubiquitous pressure of will made him just stand there powerlessly like a stranded whale.
"But not now, let's sleep well now."
The wand on Draco's body flashed, and Draco rolled his eyes and fainted.
John then disappeared into the crowd with his prey like a cheetah that had finished hunting.
Throwing the fainted Draco into the corner of the bookstore, John returned to the chaotic scene.
At this moment, the battle between Lucius and Mr. Weasley was over, or the battle was forced to end when greater violence occurred.
Hagrid was standing between them now, his big hands on both of their shoulders, immobilized by the force.
Mr. Weasley's clothes were disheveled, his lips were torn, and red blood dripped down his chin.
And Lucius was no longer as elegant and tidy as before. One eye seemed to be hit by something, and it looked a little red and swollen. He was still holding Ginny's worn-out Transfiguration textbook in his hand.
He smiled at Ginny, but with a malicious gleam in his eyes, he shoved the book in her hand.
No one except John noticed that the Transfiguration textbook that Lucius had stuffed into Ginny's hands seemed to be getting thicker.
"Here, little girl! Take your book, it's the best thing your father can give you."
As he spoke he broke free from Hagrid's arm when he realized that Draco was gone.
"Draco! Draco!"
Lucius called twice and found that there was no response. His face showed dissatisfaction. After all, it is not suitable to stay here anymore.
After weighing it in his heart, Lucius chose to leave here first and come back to look for Draco later.
So he rushed out of the store door and disappeared into the crowd outside.
"You shouldn't be talking to him, Arthur," said Hagrid, reaching out to smooth Mr. Weasley's robes, almost lifting him up.
"This guy is rotten, the whole family is, everyone knows it. The Malfoys are not worth listening to. The blood on them is bad, that's all! Come on, let's get out."
The clerk seemed to want to stop them, but he was only around Hagrid's waist, so he didn't dare to do it.
At this moment, Gilderoy Lockhart, who had not spoken just now, came from behind.
"Aha! Ladies and gentlemen, now is the time to act. I, who is upright and kind, will naturally not stand idly by!"
As he spoke, he took out that magnificent "magic wand", aimed at the mess in front of him, and recited a spell loudly like a chant.
"Clean up!"
The gems inlaid on the "magic wand" shone slightly, and then the books in the store were scattered all over the floor due to the chaos just now, and the crooked bookshelves returned to their original state like time and space.
Immediately, the crowd in the store who were still whispering because of the battle just now cheered because of Lockhart, and the bookstore clerk looked at Lockhart gratefully.
It was at this moment that John appeared next to Ginny who was silently packing up the textbooks and the books Harry had given him and putting them into the cauldron.
"Ginny." John said, attracting Ginny's attention.
Ginny turned her head curiously to look at John who appeared beside her. She still had a good impression of John Ginny. After all, who would hate a beautiful boy?He is also a beautiful boy who has a good relationship with his family.
At this moment, Ginny noticed that the other party was holding a brand-new set of Hogwarts first-year textbooks in his hand.
Before Ginny could open her mouth, John took out the second-hand books bought at the bookstore from her cauldron, and put these brand-new textbooks in, along with a small cloth bag.
Ginny subconsciously wanted to refuse, but John raised his hand to stop what she was going to say, and said directly: "Accept it, Ron and I are good friends, and if you are his sister, you are also my sister."
After speaking, regardless of Ginny's next reaction, John took those second-hand books and disappeared into the crowd beside him.
Ginny opened her mouth and looked at the place where John disappeared. She didn't know what to do for a while. In the end, she chose not to say this for the time being, and said it to her parents when she went back.
So taking advantage of Lockhart attracting everyone's attention, Harry and the others also left the bookstore and walked quickly to the street.
At this moment, the Grangers were trembling with fright, and Hermione and Harry kept talking to calm their emotions.
Mrs. Weasley, on the other hand, was mad with anger, growling at Mr. Weasley like an angry lioness.
"Good head start for the kids... Public fights... What would Gilderoy Lockhart think..."
"Lockhart is really happy!" Fred said to the others in a low and excited voice. "And didn't you hear when we came out? He asked the guy from the Daily Prophet if he could get rid of the fight." Get it in the story! He said it would make a splash."
"Yes, that's right, a sensation is inevitable, because Dad is so handsome today, did you see the punch he gave Lucius in the face? It's so beautiful." George also said excitedly
By the time we got back to the fire in the Leaky Cauldron, everyone was much calmer.
Harry, the Weasleys and their purchases were to be flooed back to the Burrow, and the Grangers were to go back to the Muggle street on the other side of the pub.
They said goodbye at the bar, and Mr. Weasley wanted to ask them what the bus station was like, but seeing Mrs. Weasley's expression, he quickly shut up.
Harry took off his glasses and put them carefully in his pocket before going to fetch the Floo powder, which was clearly not his favorite form of travel.
After returning, Ginny immediately came to the Weasleys alone and told what happened in the bookstore.
That's why they found the small cloth bag, and when they opened it, the Weasleys were shocked. It contained a hundred gold Galleons.
The Weasleys looked at each other immediately, neither of them knew what to say, because there was a note in the small cloth bag with a line written on it.
"To Alchemy - John Williams"
Mrs. Weasley was very moved. She knew that John had found a reason to help them. Next time John came again, she must treat this good boy well.
Mr. Weasley was silent, but silently made a copy of all the family books of the Weasley family, and waited for John to hand them to him the next time he came to visit.
Starting today, John's position in the hearts of the Weasleys was no less than that of Harry.
