Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

"Dudley, why did you buy a useless old cabinet?" Harry asked curiously as he walked out of Knockturn Alley.

"It's okay, as I said just now, I just want to show off to Malfoy - his father probably doesn't allow him to buy anything from Borgin-Bock." Dudley responded casually, thinking about how to deal with the disappearing cabinet.

The safest way to deal with it is of course to destroy it directly, leaving no passage for sneaking into Hogwarts.But a pair of disappearing cabinets were very valuable items, especially since Dudley knew that the other disappearing cabinet could be repaired. If so, it might be kept and it would have miraculous effects in the future.

Maybe they heard the conversation they had with Bojin at the door of Bojin-Bok. Although it felt like they were being stared at with malicious eyes all the way, no one dared to come out to look for trouble.

When they walked back to Diagon Alley, which was crowded and bustling with people, Harry couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Oh, by the way, Harry, give me your glasses." Dudley took Harry's crushed glasses and tapped lightly with his wand: "Repair them."

"When did you become so skilled at magic?" Harry took Dudley's glasses in surprise, and they were as good as new. "You are as skilled as Hermione - this is not what a normal student would do." level."

In fact, actual combat is the best way to improve your magic skills. After a few weeks in the Alps, Dudley's magic level has indeed improved a lot.

"I heard someone mention my name... Dudley and Harry! I finally found you." A clear and joyful voice sounded, and Hermione, wearing a black cloak, ran towards them happily. Fluffy brown hair flying behind his head.

"I just saw Ron's family. They said Harry was lost, and I came out to help find him." Hermione dusted off the soot on Harry, "Why do you look like this, Dudley, where did you find him?" his?"

"Knockturn Alley, let's not talk about it for now," Dudley used a whirlwind to sweep Harry away, almost blowing Harry's cloak away. "Let's find the Weasley family first. They must be very worried about Harry."

Dudley, Harry and Hermione walked towards Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, and on the way they saw the twin brothers Ron and Weasley who were hurriedly looking for Harry.

"Knockturn Alley? What is that place? I've never heard of it." Hermione asked curiously.

"Great!" "If I had known, I would have followed your example and pretended to choke!"

Brothers George and Fred yelled together.

"The adults never let us in that place," Ron's eyes looked a little envious, "They said it was too dangerous inside."

"I think maybe they are right." Harry said with lingering fear, "But, guess who I saw at Borgin Burke? I saw the Malfoys and his son -"

"What are they doing in Borgin-Bock?" Arthur Weasley didn't know when he found them and asked Harry vigilantly: "I'm glad to see you are safe, Harry, but just now you said Malfoy was there Did Borgin-Bock buy anything?”

"They are not buying things, they are selling things." Harry shrugged, and then looked at Dudley: "Dudley bought a black cabinet at Borgin's Burke."

After all, the signing place was at the Burrow, and Dudley had no intention of hiding it from Arthur, so he simply explained to Arthur that it was a broken disappearing cabinet.

"It's best not to go to places like Knockturn Alley." Arthur said solemnly, "I also want to check the cabinet that Dudley bought. I'm worried that Borgin tampered with the cabinet."

Dudley didn't mind this. As long as the disappearing cabinet was not in Borgin-Bock, it would be safe, and Arthur probably wouldn't be able to detect anything.

When he arrived at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, Dudley found a large group of people crowded at the door, most of whom were middle-aged witches, which was in stark contrast to the deserted look when he last came.

A large banner was opened upstairs, which read, "Signing event for Gilderoy Lockhart's new book "Confronting the Cannibals of the Alps", 12:30-4:30 p.m."

"We can see the famous wizard with our own eyes!" Hermione shouted in surprise, "Didn't you read the book list? Most of our books this semester were written by him."

Everyone squeezed through the crowd and entered the bookstore. In the middle of the queue for the book signing, they quickly found Mrs. Weasley and Ginny, holding a copy of "Dealing with the Cannibals of the Alps" in their hands.

"It's better than anything to see you okay, my dear." Mrs. Weasley happily kissed Harry on the forehead, "I'm still wondering what I should do if I can't find you."

"Okay, okay, please pay attention to order! Please line up in an orderly manner!" A wizard maintained order with a tired look on his face, "The autograph session will start soon, please enter in an orderly manner... in an orderly manner. .....”

A grumpy little man jumped up and down through the crowd with a camera, shouting: "Give me a moment, give me a moment, I am a reporter from the Daily Prophet——"

Hermione disappeared at some point, and when she reappeared, she was followed by a well-dressed Muggle couple, who seemed a little awkward among a group of wizards.

"These two are my parents." Hermione introduced them to each other. "They are my good friends in school, and their families are all very good people."

The Grangers greeted them all kindly, perhaps because Dudley was wearing Muggle attire, and their attitude towards Dudley was particularly friendly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My son Ron receives a lot of care from Hermione at school." Arthur Weasley seemed particularly enthusiastic and always wanted to get closer to talk to the Grangers. "Did you come here by subway? Or did you come here by subway? I drove here...so is there someone operating the traffic light..."

A large family of Weasleys crowded into Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, which obviously increased the noise.A tall figure stood up from behind a table at the end of the line: "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand everyone's enthusiasm, but please pay attention to order and don't cut in line - wait, isn't this Harry Potter?"

The crowd moved out of the way, all whispering to each other.Gilderoy Lockhart strode towards Harry with his signature smile on his face.Then he reached out his hand and pulled Harry forward without any explanation. The crowd burst into fierce applause. Dudley could clearly see that Harry's face was red and white due to embarrassment.

"Ladies and gentlemen," shouted Lockhart, waving everyone to silence, "what an extraordinary moment this is! I would like to take this wonderful opportunity to announce a small announcement, which is what I have accomplished in the Alps. A well-thought-out decision after a thrilling adventure in Mt.…”

"... After my outstanding performance was recognized by the famous wizard, he extended a sincere invitation to me, and hereby, I am extremely happy and proud to announce that in September of this year, I will Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry——"

Lockhart, who was originally eloquent and concise, suddenly stopped because he saw a familiar face pushing his way to the front of the crowd and looking at him with interest.

"Go on, Mr. Lockhart." Dudley said with a smile on his face and a copy of "Dealing with the Cannibals of the Alps" in his hand, "Nice to see you here."
