Chapter 119 Letter from Hogwarts

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAlthough the Weasley family is not as wealthy as other pure-blood families, their family is very harmonious and warm, and everyone is chatting happily at the dinner table. Mr. Weasley really liked studying Muggles and kept asking Bruce and Harry about Muggle things, and even asked them seriously what a rubber duck was for.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAlthough they found it funny, the two of them answered Mr. Weasley's questions one by one. Just as breakfast was almost finished, an owl hooted outside.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh, it must be Errol delivering the letter." Mrs. Weasley walked towards the window.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspSure enough, a gray owl appeared outside the window and flew towards the house. But what made Bruce Harry curious was that for some reason the Ron family looked at the owl with very worried eyes, and then they knew the reason.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHalf of the glass windows were closed and the other half was open, but the owl named Errol crashed straight into the closed one. Half glass window.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Bang"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon explained helplessly: "Our Errol is very old and he often does this."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspPercy walked over and took the letter. After opening it, he said: "Oh, it's a letter from Hogwarts. They sent Harry and Bruce Sent it too”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMr. Weasley sighed: "Dumbledore must know that they are here, he is really powerful."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe envelope still contains a list of items that students are required to purchase.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh no, these things are not cheap at all" George said dissatisfiedly as he looked at the letter.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspFred smiled: "There are some things that are not necessary to buy, like my protective gloves can still be used. I think the money we earn in school should be enough." Ginny bought new books and robes."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon said: "I think it's better to save some money, there is no need to buy new ones."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "No, no, our sister is a new student at Hogwarts. We cannot let her wear our old robes," George said.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "It doesn't matter, we will cope with it," Mrs. Weasley said with a smile, but it could be seen that she was still a little worried.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs for Bruce, although he is not short of money, he does not have much money. Good steel is used in the blade. There is no need to buy those study necessities. But the "shopping list" for second grade is a bit different.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said in surprise: "Wait a minute, who is this Gilderoy Lockhart? Why are all his books in our book list?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspExcept for the Standard Course on Charms Level 2 and How to Deal with Goblins, the other books on the list are all books by Gilderoy Lockhart. What does it have to do with Vacations with witches, traveling with giants, etc., all adventure novels.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said with a smile: "Is it possible that there is also a subject of literary creation in the second grade?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon looked at the list of books and shook his head and said: "This set of books is not cheap."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this time, George said: "Oh, you also want to buy a whole set of Gilderoy Lockhart's books. It's really strange. It's never been like this before. Case"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled and said: "Is it possible that we should use plots in novels to deal with dark wizards? If this is the case, this new teacher who teaches Defense Against Dark Arts must be his admirers"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Haha I bet the new professor is a wizard," Harry teased.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon glanced at his mother and smiled: "Actually, my mother is also very obsessed with him."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Ron, eat seriously." Mrs. Weasley stared at her sheepishly.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "In fact, this Gilderoy Lockhart is our teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the new semester," said Percy, a prefect.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"What"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspEveryone was stunned
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon said in disbelief: "Professor Dumbledore must be crazy, he actually hired a book writer to teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled bitterly: "If this is the case, I hope Quirrell comes back to teach us."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAlthough Quirrell was Voldemort's subordinate, he still taught some things when he was the professor of Defense Against Dark Arts. No one thought that this author, who could only boast, knew how to duel with a dark wizard.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh children, you shouldn't slander Mr. Lockhart like this." Mrs. Weasley said dissatisfied: "He is a very great wizard. His books are all based on his adventure stories. She is a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Level 3, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, and has won the Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award five times."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMrs. Weasley told everyone about the honors Gilderoy Lockhart had received. Mr. Weasley was very dissatisfied with this. No one would be happy if his wife worshiped another man so much in front of him.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Okay, kids," Mr. Weasley said seriously, "We need to eat quickly and then go to Diagon Alley."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon said softly to Bruce and Harry: "My father hates him very much, and so do I. But my mother still bought a copy of Gilderoy without telling my father." Lockhart teaches you how to get rid of household pests"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled: "I really want to meet this new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter breakfast, the Weasley family put on their cloaks and prepared to set off for Diagon Alley.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMrs. Weasley picked up the floo powder by the fireplace and said, "Okay, everyone, line up and come one by one."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry looked at the floo powder in Mrs. Weasley's hand curiously and asked: "Bruce, what is that?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Floo powder, the fireplace is connected to the Floo network. You can use the Floo powder to go to any fireplace. Of course, the premise is that that fireplace is also connected to the Floo network. Road network,” Bruce explained.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp Before Harry could sigh, Mrs. Weasley said to him: "Come here Harry, you come first."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Ah" Harry said hurriedly: "Um, Mrs. Weasley, I've never used this before."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh, look at my memory," Mrs. Weasley said apologetically.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "I'll do it first."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce grabbed a handful of Floo powder and walked to the fireplace. Mrs. Weasley said: "Harry, watch what Bruce does."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh guys, I might have to go back to the Leaky Cauldron first because I have to withdraw some money," Bruce said.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMrs. Weasley said: "Of course, we will wait for you at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled and said: "Then we will meet the Leaky Cauldron later."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce called out to the Leaky Cauldron and sprinkled floo powder on the ground. In an instant, green flames enveloped him, and the flames disappeared after a while. Bruce is gone too
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp Harry was so frightened that he took several steps back and looked at the empty fireplace in surprise.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMrs. Weasley said: "See, it's very simple, dear, don't be afraid to come."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry came to the fireplace, and Mrs. Weasley said: "Come grab a handful of this, and then go in, be careful with your head."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry stood nervously in the fireplace, Mrs. Weasley said: "Remember, you must speak very clearly."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry nodded, took a deep breath, threw out the Floo powder, and shouted: "To Ahem Knockturn Alley"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBy coincidence, Harry was choked by the ashes from the fireplace. He was coughing violently and didn’t know what he was shouting, but he would definitely do it next time. Suggest that Mrs. Weasley give the fireplace a good cleaning.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe Weasley family stared blankly at the fireplace. Mrs. Weasley asked in confusion: "Did any of you hear what Harry shouted? "
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"It looks like Knockturn Alley"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;lt;div align&a;“ter&a;“&a;gt;.
