Chapter 239 Tyco Dodonas' Prediction
After buying broomsticks, the three of them headed towards Lihen Bookstore.
Most of the textbooks have already been bought. During this time, William used new books for the two of them.
But they also need to add some books, such as Lockhart's seven-piece set.
There were a lot of people in the bookstore, but they were all queuing outside the store.
Today is Lockhart's new book conference, and they all came to sign.
Most of the crowd were witches of Mrs. Weasley's age, and it was no exaggeration for Lockhart to be called the "Mistress Killer".
William seems to have seen the future of Cedric opening a wand shop, which is probably the same situation.
A group of elderly witches lined up at the door waiting for him to sell wands and then send autographs.
The three bypassed the crowd and walked into the bookstore.
All William needs to buy are some textbooks that he has not learned in the time loop, such as "Putting Through the Fog to See the Future" by Cassandra Vabraski.
Cassandra Wabraski is a famous prophet, now in her 90s, she is still alive, and she is still the senior sister of Grandpa Newt.
But unlike Newt who dropped out of school, Cassandra graduated steadily and later became a professor at Hogwarts. She was replaced by Professor Trelawney after she retired.
William is a senior member of Lihen Bookstore. He has bought a lot of books. When he heard him coming, the manager of the bookstore came out immediately.
The manager led William to the back half of the bookstore.There is a corner there full of books on divination.
On a small table were books such as Foretelling the Unforeseen: Protecting Yourself from Strikes and Broken Balls: When Luck Happened.
"All the basic divination methods in "Picking Through the Fog to See the Future"-palm reading, crystal ball, bird viscera...all have a very useful guiding role." The manager introduced.
But William didn't listen to him, and his eyes fell on another book, the one on the top shelf: The Forecast of Tyco Dodonus.
This book is a famous prophecy book, and its status in the history of prophecy is roughly equivalent to that of Tui Bei Tu.
But most wizards only treat it as poetry.
William had heard old man Newt mention that famous prophecy:
The boy was cruelly exiled,
Daughter is in deep despair,
The warrior returns with vengeance,
Spread your wings and soar in the water.
Before the Battle of Père Lachaise Cemetery, rumors about this prophecy had been circulated, and many people thought it referred to Silent Credence.
He is believed to be Corvus Lestrange, the mysteriously missing child of the pure-blood Lestrange family.
But it turns out that he is not a child of the Lestrange family.
William waved his wand, and the book ran into his hands. He opened the prophecy book and flipped to the seventh page.
That page also had only four simple sentences.
"Oh, cruel devil!
O broken soul!
The self-exile of the year,
Reborn from the gift of death. "
William was at a loss. This is what prophecy is, and he never speaks human words.
"Mr. Stark, if I were you, I wouldn't read such a book." The manager said easily when he saw that William was looking at the book.
"This is an old antique published in the last century. It's just a book of poetry. It's a lie."
William was noncommittal, "Pack this book for me too."
William is going to start school to consult his future divination teacher-Professor Trelawney.
This person is Dumbledore's fancy, he must have some talent, right?
Soon, around the corner, William bumps into Luna and her father.
Luna wore a shiny dress and two pumpkin-carved earrings the size of thumbs.
Luna's father is even more strange, wearing a black robe with white letters painted on it - "Quick Tune"
Obviously Luna's dressing style is influenced by Lovegood.
"It's a lot of people, isn't it?" Luna said. "They're all queuing up to buy Lockhart's books, but I don't feel any wisdom in him."
"He's an idiot," Luna commented.
"Why do you say that?" William asked.
"Lockhart has the Harassfly in his head, and he's long since lost his wits."
The Harass Gadfly is another creature that Luna believes in, an invisible creature that floats into one's ear and messes up one's mind.
Luna waved her arms around her head, as if trying to repel mosquitos.
William bent over laughing, Luna is still so funny.
Lovegood was sullen, complaining that Lockhart hadn't invited him, the famous editor-in-chief.
Lovegood never gave up the opportunity to make money, after all, he has to work hard to support his daughter Luna.
Money is never enough!
At this moment, Lockhart rushed from the front.
He wore a robe the same blue as the forget-me-nots, which matched those blue eyes.A pointed wizard's hat is playfully tilted on one side of his curly hair.
"Haha, William, long time no see."
Lockhart seemed to be a good friend for many years, and patted William on the shoulder affectionately.
In fact, the two met once, at the Merlin Medal Awarding Ceremony.
He wrote a few letters, and William helped Dumbledore invite him to be a professor of defense against the dark arts.
The others are Lockhart's invitation to William to participate in the new book conference, but he refused.
"You still came to my press conference?" Lockhart said excitedly.
"No, I just brought my family to buy books." William smiled politely.
"Books...my books? I can send you a few sets...just a few minutes.
William, everyone would love the two Medal of Merlin standing together. " Lockhart invited again.
A short, grumpy man held a large black camera and jumped up and down him, trying to get a group photo.
With his right hand behind his back, William waved his wand lightly, and a puff of purple smoke came out of the camera.
He had seen reports about Lockhart, and he didn't want to be scribbled by unscrupulous reporters.
"Oh, the camera suddenly malfunctioned?" The short man checked the camera.
"What's going on? It's too late, the press conference is about to start." Lockhart frowned, and he suddenly saw Lovegood beside him.
Lovegood also carried a camera.
"Hey, William, is this your friend and a reporter?" Lockhart asked.
"I'm the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler," Lovegood said displeased.
"The Quibbler.... I haven't heard of it, but would you mind taking a few photos for me later? Of course, if your newspaper wants to use my photo on the cover, it will increase sales."
Lockhart thought Lovegood was William's friend, so he made a slight gesture.
William couldn't help laughing, he was really looking forward to seeing the article about Lockhart in The Quibbler.
Lovegood let Luna stay here with a haughty snort, and followed, satisfied.
Soon, there was another commotion outside, and it turned out that Malfoy and Mr. Weasley were pinching each other.
As long as the two met in Diagon Alley, they would have a shot, the kind with full firepower.
Lockhart kept applauding. He looked at Lovegood and the reporter from the Daily Prophet and asked:
"Can you also include the fight in the report, say that Malfoy and Weasley fought each other passionately in the street in order to snap up my book!"
William didn't hear it, because he had already rushed to pull the side frame.
Just like what Cedric took him to do back then.
