Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 26 A chance encounter with Augustus

Mrs. Weasley took Ginny with her, and Mr. Weasley invited Mr. and Mrs. Granger to have a drink with them.

In the end, only Lu Ke was left. Harry looked at him and whispered: "You come with us, Lu Ke."

Lu Ke nodded.

At this time, Mrs. Weasley was shouting at the twins' backs: "Meet at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in an hour. Don't go to Knockturn Alley!"

So Lu Ke left with Harry and the other three.

They were walking aimlessly in Diagon Alley. Harry obviously wanted to spend some money, so he bought ice cream for all four of them, and then each of them took an ice cream and walked forward.

As expected, Harry and Ron loved Quidditch-related things the most, and they spent the longest time in front of the broomstick shop window.

Then they met the twins in the Magic Joke Shop, who were buying prank stuff.

Then there was Percy, who was reading a book called How Prefects Gained Power, which happened to be published by Handsome Adventure Press.

Lu Ke watched calmly as Ron and Harry laughed at Percy secretly, and then left together.

"So when Percy wants to be the Minister of Magic, I think he just wants to prove himself, but pursuing power and status is not necessarily a good thing. Just like when I had no money before, I always wanted to be the son of a big pure-blood family. Later, I I discovered that there is no pure-blood family like ours anymore.”

Ron said as he bought the book and gave it to Percy.

Percy looked surprised.

Harry looked at Ron curiously: "I wanted to ask you when I was in the vault down there, why do you have a vault of your own? Are you rich?"

Ron smiled and pointed at Lu Ke: "You can't say that, because it's not my vault. The money in it is used by the whole family. It's just because this is the grand prize I won, so my mother thinks I can give me a little extra." award."

Harry and Hermione were both a little curious: "But what does this have to do with Luke?"

Ron smiled: "Because it was Lu Ke who introduced me to an experiment, and that experiment required me to drink the elixir of happiness, and then I won the grand prize, and the grand prize was also Lu Ke's handsome adventure for the Shafiq family. Marketing campaigns designed by publishers.”

This series of words was a bit convoluted, but Hermione figured it out quickly.

"Did you cheat?"

Ron nodded: "Yes, this is unfair to other people, but I just regard it as an excess reward for taking the risk to participate in the experiment."

Before Hermione and Harry could say anything, Lu Ke spoke first: "Yes, that experiment was about the efficacy of the potion. Weasley accepted a great risk, and the reward is not excessive."

Hermione shook her head: "You actually participated in such a dangerous experiment? Your mother should have stopped you."

Ron smiled: "I don't think she can do it, I'm a Gryffindor!"

Harry nodded: "Did the test succeed?"

Ron shook his head and looked at Lu Ke.

Lu Ke nodded: "Weasley's part was successful, and we got very beautiful data."

Hermione showed an envious look: "I also want to participate in a potions experiment like that."

Lu Ke nodded: "You will have the opportunity to participate in the future, as the operator of the experiment, not as the experimental subject like Weasley."

Ron sighed helplessly: "Don't say it so harshly."

Several people laughed.

They walked towards the bookstore together.

A loud noise could be heard when they were still far away. It was Lockhart's die-hard fans queuing up.

In front of the long queue at the door of the bookstore is a large poster, with Lockhart showing a perfect smile and the words "Magical Me" written on the book in his hand.

Lu Ke sighed helplessly when he saw the poster.

Ron said empathetically: "It's a bit scary, isn't it?"

Lu Ke nodded.

Then a wizard who was working hard to maintain order saw Lu Ke and walked over quickly.

"Mr. Lu Ke"

Lu Ke shook his head and pointed to the poster.

The wizard was very young and seemed to have just graduated from Hogwarts. He saw the title of the book written by Lockhart on the poster, and then shook his head helplessly: "Sorry sir, I will revise it right away."

Lu Ke nodded: "Thank you."

Then Harry looked at Lu Ke curiously: "Do you know him?"

Lu Ke originally wanted to fool him, but Ron spoke: "This is a staff member of Handsome Adventure Publishing House, and Lu Ke is the manager of the publishing house, and the owners of the publishing house are William Shafik and Johanna Shafik That Shafiq."

Hermione looked surprised: "She never told me?"

Ron nodded: "Lu Ke didn't tell us either, it's a secret."

Lu Ke shook his head helplessly: "I just don't think it's very important. Or do you want a signed copy of Lockhart's complete works?"

Harry smiled and shook his head, but Hermione immediately looked eager.

Hermione hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Our Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook this year is the complete works of Lockhart. Isn't that why we came to Flourish and Blotts to buy them?"

Lu Ke nodded: "Each of you can have one set. I was planning to give one set each to Mrs. Weasley and Ginny."

At this moment, Johanna Ogulius's voice came from behind him: "You are showing generosity to others, Lu Ke, it's so shameful."

Lu Ke turned around helplessly: "Hello"

Johanna Ogulius smiled and waved to the three Harrys: "Johanna, Johanna Ogulius, I am also a member of the Shafiq family, so in fact, this publishing house is also mine."

Lu Ke nodded: "Hello, Mr. Boss."

Johanna Ogulius nodded: "Of course, since you are going to give it to these cute little wizards, I can allow it."

The three Harrys looked at Johanna Ogulius and were stunned.

Her charm is irresistible regardless of the target.

Lu Ke glanced at Johanna Ogulius helplessly: "What are you doing here?"

The latter smiled: "Protect, otherwise I wouldn't have to be like this."

Lu Ke nodded: "It's enough for me to be here. You don't need to go in."

Johanna Ogulius shook her head: "Why not, I am honored to accompany three Gryffindors to buy a copy of the Brave Adventure Story. By the way, Lu Ke, go to the queue for me. Remember to ask Lockhart to write, dedication To the most beautiful Hermione Granger and the bravest Ron Weasley in the world."

Hermione and Ron both smiled sheepishly.

Then Ron said: "Where's Harry?"

Harry shook his head: "Thanks, but I don't need it."

Johanna Ogulius nodded.
