Chapter 161: I'm sorry, I'm afraid you can't be my nominee
"I think you don't need Mr. Lockhart. I'm afraid you won't be my nominee." Ivan shook his head and refused without hesitation.
"What? You have found a candidate?" Lockhart raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised, but didn't mean to give up, but continued to speak.
"You know that I am the winner of the Merlin Medal of the third level, a well-known figure in the magic world, and there are very few people in the Merlin Knights that I don't know..."
Harry couldn't help but interrupted while Lockhart was bragging about himself.
"Ivan's nominee is Professor Dumbledore! Sir!"
Lockhart's continuous words stopped, no matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to say that he was more famous than Dumbledore.
At this moment, Harry remembered what Ivan had said before, and made up again.
"And Ivan got the second-level Merlin Medal!"
Lockhart's confident smile froze on his face.
He is a third-level Merlin Medal winner, but he is not eligible to nominate a second-level Merlin Medal winner!
This is also why Ivan said bluntly that Lockhart could not be a nominee...
"Ah...this...that's it." Lockhart was embarrassed, but the cheeky he had honed over so many years made him quickly adjust, and said with a regretful expression.
"It's a pity, I was about to say that I had a great conversation with the Grand Captain of the Merlin Knights a few days ago. I wanted him to nominate you. I didn't expect Dumbledore to be the first."
"Then I really want to thank..." Ivan said silently, thinking that Lockhart is really a talent, and he can come back on his own, and even climbed up to the head of the Merlin Knights. Not afraid that the other party will expose his lies.
"No thanks, it's something I should do to help the younger generation!" Lockhart shook Ivan's shoulders, taking Ivan's ironic words as thanks to himself.
Perhaps due to the successive deflations in front of Ivan, Lockhart did not dare to show off his words next.
After the public announced that he would become a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts in the next school year, Lockhart went away amidst the applause of the crowd and the skepticism of a few people.
This made Ivan have to sigh with the lack of brains of these enthusiastic fans. Obviously Lockhart’s words were full of loopholes just now. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this guy wanted to rely on himself for his life, so as to get a wave of heat, but these fans But he insisted on believing that Lockhart planned to support his younger generation out of good intentions.
"I think the Defence Against the Dark Arts class next school year must be terrible." Harry grumbled dissatisfiedly as he looked at Lockhart's going away figure.
Although he and Lockhart had only been in contact for less than ten minutes, the other party's performance was like a funny and absurd clown, showing off on himself all the time, which really made him unlikable.
"How can this happen? Professor Lockhart is still very good. He has performed so well in the book. Maybe he was just a little impatient today!" Hermione softly defended Lockhart, her eyes were a little red and swollen. After Lockhart pushed away, it was very sad.
Ivan shook helplessly, not knowing how to tell Hermione that Lockhart was a liar. After all, he didn't have any evidence in his hands. It would be better to wait for this guy to reveal himself next school year.
The difference with Hermione seemed to think Lockhart was a good person, and Mrs. Weasley.
She was in a hurry to get Lockhart’s autographed book, but was blocked by the crowd in the bookstore. Now when she came out, she talked about Lockhart’s charming temperament, which made Mr. Weasley a little jealous. .
"Hals, do you have anything else to do after you buy the book? If you have time, how about coming to the Burrow as a guest?" Mr. Weasley then handed a complete set of old books to Ginny, turning his head to face Ivan said.
"Yeah, Ivan, come to our house to play," George and Fred also looked expectant.
"No, I still want to read more books here." Ivan hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head and refused.
Although he wanted to take a look at the legendary Burrow, he had already planned for the next time and didn't want to change his mind temporarily.
The most important thing is that if he goes to live in Shao for a few days, Aysia will be left alone.
"All right." Arthur looked disappointed, but didn't force it.
Mrs. Weasley took the opportunity to teach the little ghosts in the family.
"Look, look all! You all know how to play all day, when do you want to come to the bookstore to read books? Especially you George, and you Fred! If you have the learning spirit like Ivan, I too I won’t object to your research at home!"
After some scolding, Ron, George, and Fred looked at Ivan with resentment. The latter said that he was helpless with the gun, but he couldn't help.
After everyone had bought the textbooks for the next school year, Ivan waved goodbye to everyone. Hermione wanted to stay and read together, but unfortunately, Mr. Granger would have other things for a while, and she was not relieved that Hermione was alone. Stay here.
"Strange, why didn't I see Malfoy and his father?" After leaving the Weasley family, Ivan looked around and didn't see the Malfoy family.
Then I realized that it might be because of him that the old Malfoy didn't go to the Bojinbok shop to discuss the sale of dark magic items, so maybe he had already bought the book and went home.
It’s not bad that Old Malfoy came to make trouble, Ivan thought so, turned his head back to the Lihen Bookstore.
After Lockhart left, it was obviously deserted, and only a few parents who brought their children to buy books stayed here.
The owner of Lihen Bookstore is a very kind middle-aged witch with a pair of round-frame glasses. She is turning over a book in her hand, and she seems to be an intellectual lady.
But after Ivan got closer, he saw Lockhart's big smiling face on the cover of the book he was holding~www.mtlnovel.com~The white to shining teeth were clearly visible.
Obviously, this is another Lockhart fan, and Ivan is rather helpless. No wonder Lockhart will be invited here for autograph book sales activities.
"Madam, can I read books with you these days?" Ivan asked, considering the importance of magic knowledge, and added another sentence.
"If it is inconvenient, I can pay a certain reading fee!"
"Do you want to read a book here? Of course! I mean you can read it if you want. There is no need to pay extra. You are welcome to come here anytime." The shopkeeper witch put down the book in her hand, and she looked at Yi in surprise. Fan responded with a happy glance.
"Thank you!"
Ivan nodded politely, and then strolled around the bookstore.
