Draco's mood suddenly turned cloudy when he thought of the tragic situation of the two in the car and the belated punishment they would face next.

"But how did you find them on the train?"

"Um...it was an accident."

Draco didn't ask any more questions, and looked at Harry and Ron with disdain, and ate breakfast on his own.

Aaron shrugged, piled his half-eaten food in front of Abe, and then walked towards the long table of Gryffindor.

"You two look very happy!

Accidentally became famous. "

"It's okay!" Harry smiled a little smugly, "It's just that Ron's loss is a little bit big."

"It's a heavy loss."

Ron reluctantly took out his wand. This old wand was barely usable, but now it is on the verge of being eliminated.

One-third of the rod body was almost completely broken. Although it was tightly bound by tape, even so, the wood fragments could be vaguely seen.

Aaron gave him a sympathetic look, "It's amazing, no one will take this wand if you give it away for free, and you still want to turn decay into magic."

"Can it be fixed?" Ron asked earnestly.

"Heh!" Aaron shook his head, "Listen to my advice, you'd better change to a wand.

Believe me, even Ollivander couldn't fix this thing. "

Hearing this, Ron had a bitter face, "Then I'm done."

He didn't have the money to buy a wand, so he wanted to settle for the next best thing.

But now it seems that there is no possibility of repairing it. Aaron is Ollivander's grandnephew, and his words are more valuable than ordinary people's.

"Good morning!" Hermione walked over with a book in her arms. She first greeted Aaron with a smile, and then gave Harry and Ron a displeased look.

The two immediately bowed their heads guilty, they knew it was because Hermione was dissatisfied with their way of returning to school.

"Aaron, are you busy this holiday?" Hermione asked nervously.

"Pretty busy, the kind of busy you can't even imagine."

"No wonder." Hermione nodded thoughtfully, "I just said that I wrote you a few letters and you didn't reply to me. When I went to Diagon Alley, your clerk also said that you were not here."

Aaron smiled awkwardly but politely, "Sorry, I don't want to, but the tutoring is really too strict."

"That's right, Aaron was forced to run away from home." Harry interjected.

"Run away from home?" Hermione froze for a moment, then turned to look at Aaron, "What happened?"

"It's all in the past, and it shouldn't happen in the future." Aaron said with a guilty conscience, he didn't believe it himself.

It is estimated that after the end of this school year, he will still be forced to take those courses until he really graduates.

"Is it really all right?" Hermione still couldn't believe it.

"It's really fine.

Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about these two. "

"Us?" Harry pointed to himself and swallowed uncontrollably, "We should be fine, right?

There is a reason for driving back to school, Professor McGonagall has punished us, and Principal Dumbledore also said that the underage wizard law will not hold us accountable.

In other words, the story has turned over. "

Ron nodded vigorously from the side. He had already lost a wand and a car. If this was not over, his little heart couldn't bear it.

"You have escaped the laws and school rules, but..."

Before the words were finished, an owl flew in from outside.

This owl was Errol of the Weasley family. Among the owls, he belonged to the old, weak, and sick, and it was difficult enough to fly so far.

"coming."

Aaron murmured, then pulled Hermione up from her seat.

The next moment, Errol bumped into the dining table and fell right into Hermione's dinner plate, splashing milk and feathers everywhere.

"Ron." The corner of Hermione's mouth twitched, "Your family's owl really needs to be replaced."

"I think so too! This bird is really stupid." Ron picked up Errol, and seeing a wet envelope in its mouth, his face instantly collapsed.

"Oh no!"

"The roaring letter." Aaron said gloatingly, "It can be seen that Mrs. Weasley is really angry, otherwise she wouldn't have sent you this kind of letter in public."

"What is a howler letter?" Harry asked a little puzzled.

"You'll know right away."

Ron was very nervous, his hands trembling unconsciously, but looking at the envelope that had started to smoke, he still mustered up the courage to tear it open.

The red envelope and the letter inside were folded into the shape of a mouth, and Mrs. Weasley's angry roar came from inside, the volume was many times louder than usual.

"Ron Weasley, how dare you steal the car without authorization?"

"I'm so mad."

"Your dad is now under investigation by the Ministry of Magic, and it's all your fault."

"If you dare to make trouble again, we will bring you back immediately."

After speaking, the red envelope burned and turned into ashes in an instant.

However, the few people who were near felt the buzzing in their ears, and Ron even slumped on the chair, unable to recover.

Harry also stared at him blankly. He was also involved in the car matter, but Ron seemed to be the only one who was scolded.

"The most worrying thing happened." Aaron shook his head and said, "You still haven't escaped the scolding.

But you two don't deserve sympathy, if I had to judge... deserve it. "

Harry and Ron turned their heads to look at him at the same time, these two words really made them feel stuffy.

This time it was so embarrassing, the first day of school was so exciting, the two of them felt so guilty that they couldn't eat anymore.

"It's a good thing." Hermione murmured, "You have received a suitable punishment, and this incident has completely passed, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"It's hard to say." Aaron pouted, "It's not that I'm alarmist, their ability to cause trouble..."

Hermione felt a little unconfident when she heard that, after all, they had already proved their ability in this area last year.

"Alas! Let nature take its course!"

Hermione opened a thick book and read it by herself at the dining table.

"Sailboat with Vampires"

Aaron looked at the cover of the book and couldn't help complaining, "Since when did you fall in love with this kind of book?"

"This is a textbook!" Hermione said in surprise, "Don't you know?"

"What?" Aaron was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at the contents of the book, "The content is substantial, the colors are bright, and the writing is smooth, but the most important thing is the portrayal of the protagonist Gilderoy Lockhart, who is humorous, witty and powerful, Kind and merciful, full of wisdom..."

The corner of his mouth twitched after reading two chapters, "I admit that this book is pretty good, but..."

"That's right!" Hermione directly ignored the two words, "Of course this book is good. It sold like crazy when it was in Lihen Bookstore. It is estimated to be among the top ten in the wizarding world."

"No, I want to say that this book has something to do with what we are going to learn?

There is no magic spell or knowledge in this book. It is not so much a textbook as it is someone's autobiography, but if it is an autobiography, then I really admire him. "

"This is the autobiography." Hermione said with some pride, "The above are all real stories, and the protagonist of this book is our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

Chapter 143 The textbook is actually seven autobiographies

Seeing Hermione's adoring expression, Aaron was also speechless.

"Other people's legends are all about several titles, including our great headmaster Dumbledore, but this..." Aaron looked at the book with some embarrassment, and read the protagonist's words. Name, "Gilderoy Lockhart.

This Gilderoy Lockhart actually used a book to introduce himself, no ordinary narcissism! "

"Aaron." Hermione glanced at him a little angrily, "You can't say that about Professor Lockhart, his reputation in the wizarding world is definitely not low."

"That's true." Ron nodded, "My mother is his most loyal fan, and his autograph session packed up the Lihen Bookstore."

"Really so great?" Aaron couldn't help being a little skeptical. Although there is no meritorious person under his reputation, he probably has two brushes to be able to get along so well.

But the description in this book is too exaggerated. He dared to bet that even Merlin would not be so good at the same age.

Hermione closed "Traveling with Vampires", looked at Aaron seriously and said, "Professor Lockhart is so good, otherwise he wouldn't be hired as a professor at Hogwarts."

"Are you so sure? Just with this book?

Hermione, I always thought you were the kind of girl who could maintain reason all the time, but now it seems that my judgment has gone a little wrong.

Harry's reputation in the wizarding world is not low, but after you really get in touch with it, you will find..."

"My fame and ability don't match at all, right?" Harry said with a wry smile, "I know this is true, but please don't say it in front of me, please?"

"Sorry." Aaron sneered, and turned to look at Hermione. "I've never met Lockhart, so I can't judge someone by his appearance, but I'm skeptical about whether he's qualified to be our teacher."

"You are prejudiced."

"Maybe!" Aaron shrugged, "but this prejudice is definitely not because he wrote an autobiography for himself, but because he asked us to use this autobiography as a textbook.

With all due respect, his approach is somewhat irresponsible.

Looking at this kind of textbook, we can't even do self-study. "

"You..." Hermione snorted, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Professor Lockhart will prove his talent with practical actions, and you have to apologize to him then."

"You're a little too strong."

"No, you were the first to slander a great wizard.

Didn't you get a letter from the school during the holidays? "

Aaron froze for a moment, all his letters during the vacation were stopped by Jins, including the letters from Hogwarts.

He didn't dare to flip through the letters sent by friends, but he handled all the letters sent by the school himself.

Seeing Aaron's blank face, Hermione also guessed something, "It seems that you haven't received it."

"Does it matter?" Aaron asked puzzled, "If there is any need for the school, Jins will take care of it for me. If my parents are away, he will be my first guardian."

"No wonder." Hermione knocked on the cover of "Traveling with Vampires", "We have to prepare seven textbooks like this, all of which are about Lockhart's great deeds."

"Seven? Autobiography of the same type?" The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched. If he had only three points of doubt before, but now his suspicion has risen to seven points.

Lockhart allows students to use his works as teaching materials. This may have elements of showing off and narcissism, but it cannot be ruled out that he has real talents.

After all, Professor Snape never brought textbooks to class, but who would dare to suspect that his potions were flawed?

But seven books is a bit exaggerated. At least in Aaron's opinion, a powerful wizard would never waste his prime time on writing books.

Moreover, these are still seven books. If the content in the book is his imagination, it proves that he does not have much ability, but if the content in the book is his personal experience, it proves that he does not have much ability.

The time of traveling, plus the time of writing the book is less than ten years, Lockhart seems to be less than 30 years old, which means that before he is 20 years old...

hiss!Think carefully!

In other words, either this new professor is the one-in-a-kind, peerless genius with the talent of a law god, or he is the kind of villain who has no ability but is very opportunistic, otherwise there is no way to explain him. Why can you mix so well.

"It's amazing, isn't it?" Hermione asked with a smile. "Vampires, werewolves, female ghosts, ghouls, yakshas, ​​trolls, etc., he has come into contact with these dangerous magical creatures."

Aaron smiled far-fetchedly, he didn't dare to tell a fan of his guess, otherwise Hermione might slap this thick book on his head.

At this time, Professor McGonagall, the vice principal, came over, and she distributed the schedule to every student.

"This is your class schedule for this semester. I don't want to be late for class again." Professor McGonagall looked at Harry and Ron meaningfully.

The two lowered their heads in shame. They were late for the first class last semester.

Professor McGonagall planned to leave after handing out the class schedule to prepare for her first class of the new semester.

But just a few steps out of the auditorium, Aaron who followed behind stopped her, "Professor, wait a moment."

"Mr. Gaius, what's the matter?

I remember that the first class of Slytherin didn't seem to be a transformation class! "

Aaron pointed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on the schedule, and said with some embarrassment: "May I take the liberty to ask, Professor McGonagall, how much do you know about Professor Gilderoy Lockhart?"
