Lamia woke up from her dream and sat up suddenly. Her movement woke up the sleeping Hermione. She rubbed her sore eyes and asked, "Lamia, what's wrong with you?"

Lamia did not respond. She had not yet come back to her senses from the dream and kept recalling those eyes, but her memory had no information about the owner of those eyes.

"Lamia?" Hermione sat up in confusion and waved her hand in front of her.

"I'm fine, Hermione." Lamia came back to her senses, glanced at Hermione, and lay down on her side.

"Lamia, you look uneasy. What happened?" Hermione touched Lamia's shoulder worriedly.

"I'm fine." Her tone was filled with an irritation that she herself didn't even notice.

No one could help her, this was her punishment, but Lamia had no idea what she had done wrong, this punishment was too harsh.

Hermione noticed Lamia's emotions and stopped asking questions, only patting her on the back, hoping to make her feel better.

After a while, Molly knocked on the door gently, and a gentle voice came from outside, "Sweethearts, get up and eat. We will go to Diagon Alley later."

Ginny muttered something and opened her eyes. Beside her, Lamia and Hermione had already put on their clothes and were tying their shoelaces. Hermione cast worried glances at Lamia from time to time.

None of this escaped Ginny's eyes. She noticed it keenly, but wisely did not ask. It was obvious that the two had not quarreled, so it could only be some private matter, which was not convenient to ask.

When the three of them left the room, they saw Molly pulling Ron's ears, with Harry standing beside him, bewildered. "Ron, how could you let Harry sleep on the floor and use your old quilt!"

"That's not the case, Mum, Ginny. It was Ginny who took my quilt, and I can't sleep with Harry, can I?" Ron grimaced in pain and kept winking at Harry.

"You're still lying. There's more than one quilt in your room. Even so, you should be sleeping on the floor. Harry is a guest. That's what I taught you!" Molly was really angry.

"Come on, Mrs. Weasley, it's my fault. Ron was going to sleep on the floor, but I didn't want to." Harry took Ron's hint, and he wouldn't just watch his good brother suffer.

Molly finally let go, but she obviously didn't believe it and was just doing it to give Harry face.

Harry had just breathed a sigh of relief when George and Fred heard the noise and came over.

"Little Ronnie is crying."

"Mom caught me bullying Harry."

The mocking voices of the two made Ron's eyes red, and he hid in the room feeling aggrieved.

Harry banged on the door anxiously. "That's not the case. Ron didn't lie. I spilled milk on my quilt. I was covering myself with his quilt. It was really me who rejected him. I didn't want to cause any trouble for you."

Molly angrily drove George and Fred downstairs. "I'm sorry, little Ron, I was wrong about you. Our Ron is really a very obedient child. Come out quickly, I made you your favorite pumpkin pie." Her tone was full of self-blame.

Hermione and Ginny also comforted Ron, and Lamia came out of her emotions. She couldn't let a dream ruin her real life.

After being comforted by everyone and having George Fred, who was pulled up by Molly, apologized, Ron slowly walked out of the room. Although his eyes were still red, he was obviously much happier.

"I begrudgingly forgive you." Ron raised his chin, looking very much like Draco.

"You're exactly like Draco now, even more deserving of a beating than him." Harry joked with a smile.

Ron curled his lips in disgust, "I'm not like him." But he quickly retracted his chin.

After finishing breakfast, several people stood in front of the fireplace in order.

"Kids, make sure you say 'Diagon Alley' clearly. Don't make any mistakes, or even Merlin won't know where you'll be teleported to." Molly kept giving them warnings, fearing the little ones would get lost.

"I know, Mum, you've told me this many times." Ron covered his ears impatiently. "Even Neville has remembered it." He muttered softly.

After George and Fred left smoothly, it was Ron's turn. He grabbed a handful of Floo powder and after some twists and turns finally pronounced Diagon Alley. Molly was so scared that she covered her chest. "I'll definitely say it a few more times next time," she said to Ron who had not disappeared yet.

The remaining three Lamias went smoothly, especially Lamia, who pronounced Diagon Alley clearly and then disappeared in an instant.

They came out of the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron. Ron was covered in dust, which he must have gotten from rubbing himself in the fireplace.

After agreeing to meet at Bloomingdale's Bookstore, they left separately.

George and Fred were going to see the latest prank props, while Mrs. Weasley was taking Ginny to a robe shop and a wand shop. They had a lot of things to buy, and before leaving, she repeatedly warned them not to go to Knockturn Alley.

There are almost all dangerous dark magic items there, such as the largest shop - Borgin and Burke's, which sells various dark magic items, including shrunken human heads, giant black spiders, withered human hands and poisonous candles.

Each one of them is an extremely dangerous item that these little wizards cannot handle.

Lamia learned about it from Draco. It was said that his father often went there for business. Lamia felt that Draco trusted her too much and told her everything.

Harry bought four butter ice creams at some point and gave one to each of them. The four of them walked on the street, browsing the dazzling windows and colorful magic props. Hermione bought a whole set of notebooks and colorful inks. According to her, these were very suitable for marking different key points in the books.

Ron glanced at it disdainfully and said, "I'd rather buy some Skittles. They'd be much more useful than this."

"Yeah, yeah, it can be used to gag you," Hermione choked back.

After a while, they walked towards Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, only to be startled by the crowd there. The store was already full of people, and even outside the store, there was a large group of people trying to squeeze in.

A huge banner was hung in front of the upstairs window: Gilderoy Lockhart's autobiography "The Magic Me" will be signed and sold from 12:30 to 17:30 in the afternoon.

Hermione: "It's Lockhart. I've read his books. He's on our reading list."

she screamed.

Lamia was dragged into the bookstore by Hermione, and Lockhart's big white teeth were particularly eye-catching.

He always had a greasy smile on his face.

Lamia noticed that Mrs. Weasley was fiddling with her hair, oblivious to them.

"Mom!" Ron yelled.

Mrs. Weasley still didn't look at them, and beside her, Ginny was tugging at the hem of her clothes.

Lockhart's eyes scanned the crowd and finally landed on Harry. "Isn't this the famous Harry Potter?"

The noisy crowd quieted down, everyone turned around, and Mrs. Weasley finally saw them.

Lockhart polished his shoes to a shine, dragged Harry to introduce himself in front of the reporters, and announced that he would be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.

Harry beside him was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head in the ground.

The farce eventually ended with Lockhart giving away his entire set of books.
