After withdrawing the money, Percy went to the stationery store; Fred and George went to see their classmate Lee Jordan; Mrs. Weasley took Ginny to buy robes; Mr. Weasley went to the Leaky Cauldron with the Grangers to drink, and dragged the idle Lupin along; Harry, Ron and Hermione were taken around by the only remaining adult, Sirius.

"Rena!"

In Florin's Ice Cream Shop, Reina ordered a parfait and was eating when she heard someone calling her at the entrance.

There were too many people outside and Dad had other things to deal with, so he asked Draco to go shopping by himself. He would find him later and they would go buy books together. Draco walked around and planned to buy some food, but he didn't expect to meet Lena here.

"Two brownies and chocolate ice cream, and a cup of Roya milk tea."

Draco sat down next to Reina. "What a coincidence, we meet here. Have you finished shopping?"

"It means we are destined to meet. I still haven't bought any books. We'll go to Flourish and Blotts later." Reina was eating her parfait.

"Are you here alone?" Draco asked.

"Of course, but I met a few Gryffindors. I just saw Millicent and Goyle, and now it's you."

"Are you playing too well with those Gryffindors?"

"That's your illusion. Our relationship isn't that bad. Why do you always hate Harry and the others so much? I think you should maintain the superficial relationship no matter what. It will be helpful to you in the future."

"Oh, my dad just said that. He told me to get along well with Potter because he is a hero praised by everyone now."

"Your father is right."

"But I just don't like him. Look at him, arrogant, self-righteous, and he hangs out with that pure-blood traitor Weasley and that Muggle-born every day." Draco said disdainfully.

"I won't talk about Weasley for now, but Hermione, your grades are not even as good as hers. Our family doesn't care about that. My father once said that we should make friends with good people and make full use of any available resources. Strength is the most important truth. You have such a bad relationship with others now. If they become successful in the future, won't you lose a lot of help?"

"The Malfoy family doesn't need a little help," Draco said proudly.

"But you should listen to your father and pretend before."

"Okay, okay, I get it. Let's not talk about them. Do you know who is the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year?" Draco waved his hand impatiently and changed the subject.

"He actually wants to buy so many Lockhart books. Is that person a Lockhart fan? His books are not cheap. The poor boys should be worried."

Reina smiled helplessly: "I say, is there a possibility that it is Lockhart? I just passed by Flourish and Blotts, and there was a banner saying that Lockhart was coming. No matter how fanatical a fan is, it is impossible for him to only use Lockhart's books."

"Really?" Draco asked doubtfully.

"So you want to make a bet with me? I'll bet it's Lockhart."

"Okay, five Galleons, I bet it's not."

After eating ice cream, Reina accompanied Draco to look at brooms for half a day. Then Lucius, who knew his son very well, successfully found the little platinum head in the Quidditch boutique.

Draco learned from the store that the latest Nimbus 2001 would be available soon, and he begged his father to buy him this new product. Lucius promised Draco that he would deliver the new product to him as soon as it arrived.

Lucius looked at Reina and asked her, "Do you want to buy anything else?"

“The only thing left is the book.”

"Then let's go together--" He took his cane and led the two children to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

"Please don't crowd—don't dirty the books..."

The wizard at the door looked tired. Lockhart was holding an autograph session inside the store, and there were just too many people here.

Rena and Draco had to squeeze in, carrying Lockhart's books one by one. Finally, Lucius looked at the pile of books held by the two little people, walked to the front desk, waved his hand and paid for Rena's books together, added the shipping fee for two people, and asked the clerk to deliver the books directly to Malfoy Manor and Talros Manor.

When Draco was about to take the two away, he pointed to somewhere in the crowd and said, "Look, it's that Potter guy!"

"Smile more happily, Harry." The person next to Harry was Gilderoy Lockhart. He grabbed Harry from somewhere and took a photo with him. The crowd burst into applause, and from time to time Sirius could be heard shouting "That's my godson".

"Ladies and gentlemen! This is such an extraordinary moment! I would like to take advantage of this wonderful occasion to announce a little thing. Oh, I have kept it to myself for too long - Harry Potter actually came here today just to buy my autobiography, and now I am willing to give it to him for free on the spot -" Lockhart handed Harry a book, and there was another round of applause, and the photographers kept taking pictures.

"——Of course, what he doesn't know is... Ladies and gentlemen, I am honored and proud to announce here that I will be the new teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

Oh, the gold galleons are coming.

"Draco, please accept the defeat now..." Lena looked at Draco beside her.

Draco reluctantly took out his purse, pulled out five gold Galleons and handed them to Lena.

"Even if it weren't for the gold Galleons, I wouldn't really want this person to be our teacher. He's just too - um, it's hard to put it into words..." Draco looked over there with disgust.

"Come on, let's go and ask the hero how he feels about being in the newspaper."

Draco pulled Reina directly towards the group of red-haired people.

"You must like this, Potter? The great hero Harry Potter can be in the newspaper just by going to a bookstore!" Draco sneered with a sneer on his face.

Reina stood in front of Draco, speechless. She was the only one who would feel embarrassed in such a situation.

"Ignore him, he has bad intentions!" Ginny glared at Draco, then looked at Reina, "I really don't like her, they are in the same group!"

Harry was about to explain to Ginny when he heard Draco drawl, "Potter, you got yourself a girlfriend!"

At this time, Ron and Hermione squeezed over. "Is that you? Are you surprised to see Harry here?"

"I'm even more surprised to see you, Weasley. Your parents will have to go hungry again to buy these books, right? Let me think, a week? Oh no, I'm afraid it will take a month."

Ron rushed towards Draco, but was held back by Harry and Hermione. "Huh, it seems you don't know yet. Your good friend Tallos is planning to send money to our family. Why, didn't she tell you?"

"Ron!" Mr. Weasley, who had just squeezed over, heard this and shouted, while Fred and George shook their heads in disapproval.

"Reina, what does this mean?" Draco questioned Reina.

"What else can it mean? Like I said, this is my help." Lena spread her hands.

"Oh, hey - Arthur Weasley." Lucius came over, put his hand on Draco's shoulder, and had the same sneer as Draco.

"Lucius." Arthur nodded coldly.
