Lupine's magical attainments are very profound. In the eyes of many people, he is a bit stubborn, but this just shows that Lupine is very determined. Otherwise, how could he persevere in such an environment.

Many details related to magic are usually not described in detail in books. By asking Lupine for advice, Locke also filled in many details.

Locke couldn't just go to Dumbledore for advice on minor issues. As for the other professors at Hogwarts, he also had to check whether they were in a good mood or had a good relationship with them, otherwise Dumbledore would lose face.

Now that Locke was Lupine's employer, he was even more helpful in Lupine's eyes. He asked him for some magic questions, and there was no problem at all.

Lupine is very good at the advanced transformation skills of Animagus. He may not be willing to tell Locke about the dark magic, but he doesn't mind telling Locke about the transformation skills in detail.

"Teacher, let's go out for a walk." Hermione said to Locke with some anticipation that day: "School is about to start. Are you ready with some of the things you need?"

"Okay!" Looking at Hermione's expectant eyes, Locke smiled and nodded. Hermione spent most of the holiday either studying magic or refining potions, so she really should go out for a walk.

"No problem. Since you are already in second grade, why don't you prepare a flying broom? We can see if there is anything you like." Locke suggested.

"No need, Teacher, I don't really like flying broomsticks." Hermione said, shaking her head.

Locke nodded without any persuasion. Flying brooms are very popular in the wizarding world, and young wizards of this age regard good flying brooms as fashionable. However, it seems that Hermione doesn't catch a cold very much.

He has actually tried a flying broom, and it is not as uncomfortable as some netizens ridiculed. The magic on the broom will form an invisible cushion like a seat. Sitting up is like an ordinary seat. Locke doesn't like it mainly because it feels inconsistent with him. aesthetic.

"Then wait a minute, I'm going to change clothes." Seeing Locke agree, Hermione happily ran back to her room in Locke's place.

As she gradually became familiar with it, Hermione would stay overnight at Locke's place from time to time. The Grangers would still pay attention to it at first, but gradually they stopped caring.

Perhaps when she was putting them on once, she noticed that Locke looked at them for a while. When she lived with Locke, she often wore white pantyhose, but when she went outside, she would change into other clothes.

As the school year approaches, many young wizards and their families come to buy items for the new school year. Hermione is wearing a wizard robe. Although she maintains her demeanor, her face is filled with visible joy and excitement.

The two of them went shopping in Diagon Alley first, and finally came to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. However, when they got near the bookstore, they found that there was a commotion there and someone was fighting.

"That's Harry and Ron." Hermione quickly recognized one of them and subconsciously took out her wand.

"Just leave it to me." Locke held down Hermione and asked her to put her wand away. The Ministry of Magic did not allow wizards to use magic duels in Diagon Alley. Hermione's wand was too conspicuous.

When Hermione put away her wand, Locke thought with his heart and cast a silent tightening spell. Lucius Malfoy, who was fighting with Ron's father Arthur, was imprisoned and then was severely beaten by Arthur. A few punches were thrown.

Next, he noticed that Lucius was under control, and Arthur stopped. Lucius looked around now, but he didn't find who used the magic. In the end, he could only stare at Arthur with hateful eyes:

"It seems you have found a good helper. You won't be so lucky next time!"

"Harry, Ron." At this time, Hermione came over and said hello to Harry and the others. Only then did Lucius notice Hermione and Locke with her.

"Who are you?" Lucius glanced at Locke who had just appeared, and placed the object of suspicion on him.

"Locke Lee, nice to meet you, Mr. Lucius Malfoy." Locke greeted him as if nothing was wrong: "Fighting in the street does not seem to be in line with the nobility and elegance of a pure-blood family."

"Rock Lee?!" Lucius was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that there was such a wizard who seemed to appear out of nowhere and was very active in recent times. It was said that he had a good relationship with Dumbledore. There were rumors. Said he was a descendant of Dumbledore's best friend.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Lucius probably guessed that Locke had probably secretly used the confinement spell on him just now, which made him look at Locke with a bit of ferocity.

The conflict between him and Locke is not only that Locke secretly used the confinement spell just now, but the key is that Locke contracted the materials for the dragon training farm.

After that, the prices of various dragon-related materials increased. The prices marked in the stores may not have increased much, but they still caused many wizards to panic buying.

Especially during this process, Locke also hoarded a large amount of materials as reserves. The materials used for circulation on the market were actually only half of the original ones, so the private prices of many materials have been doubled or tripled. .

A large part of the Malfoy family's business is related to fire dragon materials, but because of Locke's actions, the family's income has also been reduced a lot.

There is also the fact that Locke donated a large sum of money to Hogwarts, so that the Malfoy family's plan to use financial problems to force Dumbledore to give up more rights failed.

It can be said that although the two parties have not met before, the hatred has actually been forged. Locke, who is familiar with the plot and the business relationships of various magic families, also understands this, so he did not hesitate to help Arthur just now.

In this situation, Lucius knew that he had suffered a secret loss just now. After all, he couldn't take out his wand in public at this time.

But before leaving, Lucius still glanced at Locke: "Going against a pure-blood family is not a good choice, Mr. Locke."

Locke raised his eyebrows, but Locke didn't say anything. He knew that the Malfoy family was lobbying the Ministry of Magic recently because of the dragon training farm materials, but Locke had Dumbledore on his side, and the trade contract was not good for the dragon training farm. Xiao, if you want the Ministry of Magic to take action, it's not enough for Malfoy to just talk.

In the wizarding world, pure-blood families hold too many interests. Locke's actions will inevitably touch the interests of these pure-blood families, so the hostility between the two sides has long been expected by Locke.

Whether it is the world of ordinary people or the world of wizards, interests are always the most motivating thing. As long as the interests are big enough, it is not unimaginable for all wizards to gather together to attack Voldemort.
