Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

Although Voldemort has been out of the public eye for over a decade, everyone knows how terrifying the Dark Lord was.

Even if the other party is already a remnant soul and is in a much worse state than before, it is not something an ordinary wizard can easily exploit.

Hermione, all by herself, single-handedly and so effortlessly took down her opponent. What kind of monster could do something like that?

You call this a first-grade student?

Borgin Burke was certain that Hermione was an exceptionally ruthless individual, destined to become someone on par with Dumbledore in the future.

If I can build a good relationship with her, what's a mere box of goods?

Imagine how huge an advertisement it would be if a wizard of Dumbledore's caliber were to frequently patronize his shop in the future! His shop would probably become a household name throughout the entire wizarding world!

Why bother with black magic business? Wouldn't it be better to just make a fortune honestly?

In the instant she understood, Hermione instantly became like an ancestor in Borgin Burke's eyes.

And judging from Hermione's appearance, even if a fight broke out, it's uncertain whether she could win.

However... thinking about the girl's sinister and cunning double-crossing behavior, he felt a strange sense of unease.

Is this still Gryffindor?

This feels quite different from the Gryffindor he knew.

Perhaps the sorting cap has fallen into disrepair.

……

As Hermione stepped out of the store, she saw Harry already standing at the door waiting for her.

It seems he sneaked out of the store while extorting (or trying to persuade) Bojin Boke.

"you……"

Harry looked at the box Hermione was holding and felt like he had a million complaints, but he didn't know where to begin.

“Oh, justice in the making, just call me a concerned citizen,” Hermione said casually.

Then why did you put the box into your backpack? Didn't you say you were going to give it to Mr. Arthur? And when did you learn the Unseen Stretching Charm? Isn't it said that you have to report to the Ministry of Magic before using it? You don't seem to have reported it at all...

Harry's cheek twitched as he watched Hermione's incredibly efficient actions in disposing of the stolen goods.

Although he had a lot of questions in his mind, looking at Hermione's eyes staring straight at him, he had a feeling that if he opened his mouth, she would drag him to a dark alley and chop him into dumpling filling, so he wisely kept his mouth shut.

Hermione didn't understand either, and just took the things and left without really knowing what was going on.

She knew that Boginbock would definitely weigh the pros and cons and give her the box, but he would definitely do so unwillingly, and might even try to sabotage her.

Who would have thought that I would suddenly be so happy to give it to her?

Forget it, take care of him.

Just when the other party was shocked by the fact that "there is someone above you".

At worst, we can try to cooperate in the future if there's an opportunity.

Unable to figure it out, Hermione gave up. Anyway, she had gained a lot of good stuff this time, all of them top-quality alchemical materials!

Thank you, Ma.

I'll be gentle with you later!

Chapter 63 Gilderoy Lockhart

"Mrs. Weasley, I've found Harry!"

After leaving Knockturn Alley, Hermione and Harry entered Diagon Alley and immediately spotted the Weasleys, who were asking passersby questions. They called out to them.

"Oh, thank goodness, I thought even Hermione had been teleported to the wrong place."

Molly patted her chest, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

"Where did you go just now?" Ron asked Harry.

“Knockout Alley,” Harry said.

He had already heard Hermione mention that place.

Upon hearing Harry's words, Molly was immediately startled: "You went to Knockturn Alley to look for Harry all by yourself?"

Before Hermione could speak, Molly immediately pulled her into her arms and gently patted her back.

"Oh my god, you went to a place like that without waiting for us! What if something happened to you, a little girl? Poor sweetheart, you must have been terrified just now."

Harry Ron: "..."

Hermione was terrified... neither of them could have imagined it.

"Little sweetheart," does she even remotely resemble that term?

"Boginbok might have a slightly different opinion on this than you do," Harry thought to himself, having witnessed Hermione's double-crossing the whole time.

However, Molly seemed to have a certain filter on Hermione's cute face. No matter how high Hermione's magical level was or how impressive her achievements were, she always felt that Hermione was just an innocent little girl.

After tormenting Hermione for a while, Molly finally let go, and the group headed to Flourish and Blotts.

On the way, Hermione noticed that Ginny's face was covered in dust because of the Floo Powder, so she took out a handkerchief.

"The water is as clear as a spring!"

Water flowed from the tip of the wand, soaking the handkerchief, and Hermione began to wipe Ginny's face.

Ginny was startled, but she obediently accepted it, and her face quickly returned to its fair state.

"It's much cleaner now. I looked like a coal miner just now."

Although Ginny was no longer as reserved as she had been a few days ago, she was still a little embarrassed to be seen in such an awkward state.

This is a meeting between two people with social anxiety.

Social phobia meets social terrorist.

When we arrived at Flourish and Blotts, the store was already packed with people.

After finally squeezing in, Harry looked at Ron and asked, "Why are there so many people?"

He remembered that when he came here to buy books last year, it wasn't nearly as popular.

Ron shook his head and spread his hands to indicate that he didn't know.

Molly answered their questions.

"Gidero Lockhart!"

With a hint of excitement in her eyes, she exclaimed, "Today is Gilderoy Lockhart's book signing day!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

Who?

I don't know, do you know?

I can't get there either.

The two exchanged glances and completed the information exchange at lightning speed.

"He's a renowned author in the wizarding world, a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic League, and a five-time winner of the Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award!"

Seeing Molly's eyes light up, Hermione rolled her eyes frantically.

What kind of idol is the middle-aged and elderly women in the wizarding world?

Hermione picked up a signed book at random and looked at the cover.

Me, the braggart... oh no, "Me, the one with magic powers".

On stage, Lockhart, impeccably dressed, smiled and looked ahead, occasionally striking a flamboyant pose as he glanced at the camera lens.

Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, looked at the crowd, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

"I never expected it to be Harry Potter!"

Lockhart acted swiftly, grabbing Harry who was trying to back away and forcibly pulling him to his side.

"See that? The famous Harry Potter even came specifically to buy my autobiography, Gilderoy Lockhart's!"

He then whispered to Harry, "Come on, laugh more, Harry, we're sure to make the headlines."

Facing the camera, Harry could only offer an awkward yet polite smile.

"Furthermore, at the invitation of Headmaster Dumbledore, I will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts starting this year!" Lockhart announced to the public.

"No way, he's actually our new... Hermione, where are you?"

When Ron heard this horrifying news, he couldn't help but blurt it out, only to find that Hermione had already run to the corner of the last row and was hiding there.

"What? Hermione?"

Lockhart was startled by Ron's words and immediately followed Ron's gaze to Hermione.

"Hermione Granger? The girl who defeated Quirinaschiro and was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius?"

Lockhart was overjoyed, thinking to himself that heaven was on his side and that two celebrities had come to help him boost his popularity.

“Come on, let’s take a picture together, the three of us will definitely become a sensation in the wizarding world!” Lockhart waved to Hermione.
