With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

So, the group easily entered Flourish and Blotts bookstore through the back door.

At Flourish and Blotts, they met the controversial figure, Gilderoy Lockhart.

He sat behind a table, surrounded by large photographs of himself, all of which showed faces winking at the crowd and flashing dazzling white teeth.

The real Lockhart wore a robe the same blue as forget-me-nots, which perfectly complemented his blue eyes. A pointed wizard's hat was playfully perched on his curly hair.

A short man holding a large black camera jumped around taking pictures of Lockhart, who posed in various ways to cooperate.

Each time the flash flashed blindingly, streams of purple smoke spewed out of the camera.

During this process, Lockhart caught a glimpse of Levin and his group.

Levin immediately and nimbly jumped behind Ciri, using her 170cm height to cover his not-yet-fully-developed figure.

“Turn around too, Ciri,” Levin muttered from behind her. “Don’t let him recognize you.”

He knew very well that Lockhart was a master of the modern influencer game, and that her favorite thing to do was ride the wave of trending topics.

Since he and Ciri were both at the highest rank, one being a first-class medalist and the other a second-class medalist, both higher than Lockhart's rank, they were naturally the best targets to ride on Lockhart's coattails.

Although she didn't understand why, Ciri obediently followed Levin's advice.

So the only unlucky one was Harry.

Hahaha, Harry's here!

"Isn't this Harry Potter?"

Lockhart rushed forward, grabbed Harry's arm, and pulled him to the autograph table.

Levin could read the resentful look in Harry's eyes as they met before he was dragged away: "You knew he was like this, why didn't you remind me?"

"I'm sorry, Harry."

Levin silently apologized in his heart.

"Only by sacrificing you can people see his true colors."

At the signing table, Lockhart loudly announced in his flamboyant voice:

"When young Harry walked into Flourish and Blotts today, he only wanted to buy my autobiography, 'My Magical Self'! Little did he know that soon he would receive something far more valuable!"

Lockhart spoke while pulling Harry's wrist and waving around.

That posture made Levin feel that he might blurt out at any moment, "Brothers, look to me! Look at me! I have something to announce—"

"In fact, he and his classmates will get a real, magical me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am extremely pleased and proud to announce that this September, I will become the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

Then, a huge stack of Lockhart's autographed books fell into Harry's hands, and he had to take more photos with Lockhart while holding the entire set of autographed books.

Even Hermione could see through this blatant attempt to ride the coattails of someone else's popularity.

"I never expected him to be this kind of person."

Miss Granger looked disappointed; the value of the Third Class medal had diminished in her mind.

Ciri frowned frequently as she read: "His current behavior is completely different from how he is portrayed in the book."

If you're cheating someone like that, you probably won't feel guilty.

Thus, the plan to replace buying books with the art of copying was decided on the spot.

The Weasley twins were excited and wanted to participate.

As long as it saves the family money, Percy Weasley and Ginny Weasley are willing to accept it.

0???????

As for how to deal with the Weasleys' questions, Hermione had come up with a good idea.

He simply deflected the blame onto Levin, saying that he had purchased a batch of secondhand goods internally using his status as a Flourish and Blotts member.

As for who he copied it from... Harry just got a signed copy of the book, didn't he?

Lockhart himself gave us this set of books.

In other words, the group of nine of them did not buy a single paid book, achieving a perfect freebie.

Just as everyone was having a great time discussing things, another commotion broke out in the bookstore.

It turned out that Mr. Weasley and Lucius Malfoy were having a big fight in the bookstore.

That scene was incredibly exciting and thrilling!

The bookstore clerk and Mrs. Weasley were anxiously trying to break up the fight: "Stop! Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

You can't kill someone without a wand!

.0

But clearly, some people have different ideas; for example, the Weasley twins are cheering on their father.

"Beat him! Dad, beat him hard!"

"Kick him in the groin! Kick him in the groin!"

"Oh, you two, shut up!" Molly said, pressing down on her two sons with a headache.

But there are actually people who are even more eager to watch the drama unfold than they are.

Levin secretly reached out his hand to Mr. Weasley, and a powerful force of nature surged forth.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous wizards, using druidic spells that do not consume mana is still more discreet:

"[Wild Power]!"

[Wild Power: 2nd Ring: Increases the recipient's Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution by 2 each.]

Assuming the average attribute value of a normal human being is 10, then the normal physiological limit for humans is 18.

In this situation, the +2 to Strength, Agility, and Constitution almost instantly gave Mr. Weasley, who was originally an ordinary person, the physical attributes of a fighter.

In that instant, Mr. Weasley suddenly felt much more agile, and his strength surged forth.

He dodged the left hook that was originally going to hit his face.

Then, instinctively, he threw a straight punch at the other person's chest...

"Oh!"

Poor Lucius was sent flying back four meters by the heavy blow, crashing into a bookshelf. He was so dizzy from the impact that he was completely unable to fight back.

The shop assistant and Mrs. Weasley seized the opportunity to separate the two completely.

"Ah this..."

Mr. Weasley looked at his fist with suspicion.

Am I really that amazing?

He threw another tentative punch, but it didn't feel the same as before.

The instigator, Levin, had long since abandoned the spell, keeping his deeds and fame hidden.

Chapter 101 The Weasley Twins' Big Business

With the two old men separated, the street brawl ended with Mr. Weasley emerging victorious.

Nobody cares about what the losers think, not even Levin.

He knew very well that in the original story, it was Lucius Malfoy who stuffed Voldemort's Horcrux diary into Ginny's pile of books.

He may not have known it was a Horcrux, but he was the one who indirectly caused this year's Basilisk incident.

However, Levin had no intention of interfering, at least not until he found a way to deal with Horcruxes.

Who knows what dark magic Voldemort might be hiding in there?

Of course, if he had learned the [Great Disintegration] spell now,

He would definitely give that diary a good whack as soon as he came up.

Lockhart, however, seemed quite interested in this dispute.

He even asked a reporter, "Can you include the fight in the report, saying that Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy got into a fight over buying my book?"

Subsequently, Levin also separated from the Weasleys.

He made an agreement with Ron and others to copy books at his house every day.

Hermione and Ciri also separated from him and went shopping on their own.

Levin went to the Magical Beasts Shop and asked Miss Hayden, the clerk, about the nine-tailed fox's tail fur.

At Christmas, he spent 50 Galleons to ask the other party for information about various legendary magical creatures, especially the nine-tailed fox.

This time, Miss Hayden brought both bad news and good news.

The bad news is that those poachers from the East were too incompetent, mistaking a small fox for a nine-tailed fox, and naturally ended up with nothing.

The good news is that a South American sorcerer discovered the feathers of the legendary feathered serpent in the ruins of a Mayan sorcerer.

The price has now been driven up to over 1000 Gallons.

What else can Levin say? Of course, he'll buy it!

That's a feathered serpent! These magical creatures possess divinity, high intelligence, and perception. They could completely replace the nine-tailed fox's tail hair as the main ingredient for the [Permanent Fox's Cunning Elixir], or perhaps even the [Permanent Owl's Wise Elixir]?

To be on the safe side, Levin left her 2000 Galleons and told her that if that wasn't enough, she could just write to him.

Considering the wizarding world's terrible logistics speed,

If all goes well, Levin is expected to receive the goods in about a month.

Then, once the semester begins, he can perform the second [Wilderness Ritual].

I made a lot of purchases at the Magical Beasts Shop.

But Levin found nothing at Slaggiggs Pharmacy.

It is said that due to a tornado that struck the only Reem cattle sanctuary in the United States, there has been no Reem cattle blood production across the Americas this year.

The previous reservations have naturally fallen through, and the main ingredient for the [Permanent Ox Power Elixir] is nowhere to be found.

However, Levin no longer plans to use Reem cow blood as the main ingredient.
