Chapter 10 Contempt

Section 1

Soren did not live in Weasley's house. Because there were not enough rooms in the Burrow Curriculum and Soren was not used to living in the same bedroom with others, he declined Mr. Weasley's invitation and returned to the old house on Oak Road. In the next few days, Soren only occasionally went to the Burrow Curriculum to accompany Harry during the day, and returned to the old house at night.

Soon, Hogwarts' notification letter for the new school year was delivered. On September 1, he left King's Cross Station and took the Hogwarts Express to the school. Soren glanced at the book list for the new semester and frowned. The textbooks for the Black Magic Defense Arts class were seven books similar to third-rate adventure novels. The authors were all Gidro Lohart. Soren searched for his memories and had no impression of this person. He thought he was not a powerful figure, so he didn't care about this matter.

Early that morning, Soren came to the Overturned Alley. He had not visited Bojin Bock's store for a long time. Today he decided to come here before going to Diagon Alley to buy books to see if there is anything useful. To his surprise, Soren pushed open the store door and saw Draco and his son in the store. Draco was casually watching the goods displayed in the store, while Lucius was talking to Bojin. When he found that someone was in the store, the three of them were stunned. When they saw that the person coming was Soren, the three of them had different expressions - Draco was nervous, Bojin was afraid, and Lucius's face showed a polite smile.

"Mr. Porter, I'm glad to see you here," Lucius said in his unique calm tone. "Drake mentioned you, and he thought you were an excellent Slytherin."

"It is equally honor to see you, Mr. Malfoy Drager often mentions you, you are an excellent father and a noble nobleman." Sauron said to Lucius with a smile.

Sauron and Lucius made a polite controversy with each other, and both of them consciously did not ask about the reason why they came here, while Draco stood behind his father, looking cautious. As for Bojin, he didn't say a word, but had a flattering smile on his face.

"Mr. Porter, it's a pleasant meeting with you today. Looking forward to meeting you next time," Lucius said with a smile, and then turned to Bojin. "Goodbye, Mr. Bojin, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow. Draco, let's go, and I'll take you to buy books later." After that, he took Draco away.

"Dear Mr. Porter, it's so glad to see you again." Bojin's tone was as smooth as ever, "What are you looking for today?"

"Do you have anything new here?" Soren's voice became very gloomy than before, making Bojin nervous. "Of course, don't take out those boring tricks."

"Yes, you're satisfied." Bojin smiled flatteringly and took out a book, "You read this book, which was newly obtained a few days ago, and recorded some very powerful magic."

Soren flipped through the book and raised his eyebrows. "How much?" Soren said coldly.

"Haha, this is a very precious book..." Bojin saw Soren look at him coldly and immediately changed his words: "Of course, you are an old customer, and 80 Gallons are sold to you at a cheap price."

Sauron didn't make a sound, took out a bag of gold coins and threw it on the counter. Bojin's smile became more obvious, and he continued: "There are some other things that are absolutely worth the money."

Sauron nodded, and Bojin turned around and went into the room inside to get things. As soon as Bojin left, Sauron walked directly to a large cabinet beside the wall and opened the door roughly. Harry was standing inside, looking at him nervously. Just as Harry was about to speak, Sauron pulled him out of Bojin's store with a cold face.

After leaving Bojin's store, Sauron pulled Harry far away before letting go. He stared at Harry, "Why are you here?"

"I came from the Burrow with Floor and Ron and the others, and it went wrong and came out of the fireplace." Harry said nervously, "Where is this? It doesn't look like Diagon Alley."

"This is Diagon Alley, all selling banned magical items." Sauron frowned, and said as he waved his wand at Harry, sweeping off the coal ash on his body.

"What about you, why are you here?" Harry asked curiously.

"I'm an old customer here." Sauron said calmly, "Okay, let's go now, and let's find that you're not a good thing."

Sauron led Harry to Diagon Alley. On the way, there were many gloomy wizards looking at the two of them maliciously, but after Sauron looked at them coldly, they left in panic. Harry followed Sauron tightly, fearing to be behind.

"Listen, Harry." Sauron said as he walked, "You are absolutely not allowed to come here alone until you are strong enough. There are many mean and insidious wizards gathered here, and they are dangerous to you."

"What about you, aren't they dangerous?"

"To me?" Sauron looked back at Harry and said in a contemptuous tone, "It's just an ant."

Harry was stunned.

At the gate of Gringott, Sauron and Harry met Hermione, and she saw them from afar and ran over to greet them. Soon, Ron, Fred, George, Parsey and Mr. Weasley rushed from the crowded streets.

"Harry," Mr. Weasley panted, "I hope you missed only one furnace door.

Mrs. Weasley ran toward this side in a hurry, and the handbag she carried with one hand was swinging violently; Ginny pulled her other hand and followed with difficulty. "Oh, Harry—oh, dear—you can go anywhere—" she said in anger. Soren took Harry's glasses, used a magic weapon, and gave his glasses a new one.

"Where did you come from?" asked Mrs. Weasley.

"From the Overturned Alley." Harry said as he glanced at Sauron.

"Cool." Fred and George spoke in unison, and Mrs. Weasley glared at them.

"That's not a good place, fortunately you're back safely," said Mrs. Weasley worriedly.

Sauron and his group went to Gringer to withdraw money. When they saw Sauron withdraw money from his vault, Harry, Ron and Hermione seemed surprised. After withdrawing the money, everyone broke up on the steps outside the Gringer gate. Mrs. Weasley took Ginny to buy a robe. Patsy muttered that he wanted to buy a quill pen. Fred and George ran to buy magic tricks. As for Mr. Weasley, he insisted on asking Hermione's parents to have a drink.

Soren wanted to go for a walk by himself, but was worried that Harry, Ron and Hermione would run to the overturned alley driven by curiosity, and wandered aimlessly on the street with the three of them.

"Harry, what's the way to tip the alley?" Ron asked. "Mom said it was sold in black magic supplies there,"

"Absolutely." Harry mumbled, and looked at Sauron carefully. "It's a terrible place. And I saw Malfoy and his father in the store there."

Ron widened his eyes, "What are they doing there?"

Harry was about to say it, but when he saw Sauron look at him coldly, he said weakly, "I don't know, I didn't hear it clearly."

Ron said boredly, while Hermione glanced back and forth at Sauron and Harry.

An hour later, they walked towards Lihen Bookstore and were surprised to find a large group of people standing at the door. A large banner was pulled out from above: "Gidro Lohart signed an autobiography "Me Who Can Magic" to sell its autobiography from 12:30 to 4:30 pm today.

Hermione was very excited and shouted, "We can see him!" Soren frowned.

There were very dense people at the door, and it was difficult for them to squeeze in. Soren walked in front and raised his wand. The dense crowd in front seemed to be squeezed away by a strong man, giving them a narrow path. Hermione and others were surprised and happily followed Soren into the house. The winding line lined up from the door to the back of the bookstore, where Gidrolohart signed and sold books. They each grabbed a book "Break with the Female Ghost" and came to the place where the Weasleys and the Grangers lined up.

"Oh, you guys are here, it's great," said Mrs. Weasley. She breathed rapidly and kept patting her hair. "We'll see him in a while..."

Sauron looked through the book "Break with the Female Ghost" in his hand and laughed from time to time.

Gradually, they saw Gidrolohart. He sat behind the table, surrounded by large photos of himself, all of which were blinking at the crowd, revealing dazzling white teeth. The real Lohart was wearing a robe as blue as a forget-me-not, which matched his blue eyes. The spire wizard hat was playfully tilted on his curly hair.

A short, grumpy man held a large black camera and jumped back and forth to take pictures. Every time the flash flashed dazzlingly, purple smoke spurted out of the camera.

"Does go," he shouted to Ron, backing back to choose a better angle, "this was taken for the Prophet Daily."

"It's amazing." Ron said, rubbing the instep of the man's trampling.

Gidro Lohart heard it. He looked up and saw Ron, then Harry. He stared at Harry for a while, jumped up and shouted, "Isn't this Harry Potter?"

The crowd made a way out and whispered excitedly. Lockhart rushed forward and grabbed Harry's arm, trying to pull him in front.

"Let go, idiot." Soren's cold voice came.

Lockhart was stunned, and the crowd around was also stunned. Seeing Sauron's appearance and cold expression like Harry, Lockhart's face was filled with doubts and embarrassment, while in the crowd around, most of them were whispering, and some were gasping for air. Harry stood there blankly, at a loss.

"Haha, sorry." Lockhart tried to restore his habitual smile, but he was still a little nervous under Sauron's gaze. "Well, who are you? I mean, you look very similar to the famous Harry Potter. Are you brothers?" Lockhart tried to ease the atmosphere at the scene, but Sauron just sneered contemptuously.

The man holding the camera raised his camera and wanted to take a surprising scene. Soren noticed it and turned his head to look at the man. Without any warning, a spark suddenly burst out from the camera in the man's hand and burned it.

Sauron looked at Lohart, then looked at the book in his hand, threw the book on the ground, turned around and walked out the door. The person behind him automatically dodged a way, and Sauron left the bookstore in a scheming manner.

Section 2

After Sauron left, it took a long time before the atmosphere at the scene became lively again. It has to be admitted that Giedro Lockhart had a good time in the livening atmosphere. Of course, because of Sauron, Lockhart gave up the idea of ​​pulling Harry to take photos together.

After buying the book, Harry and his wife met Malfoy and his son. As a result, Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley, who were extremely disgusted with each other, fought in the bookstore, and finally pulled the two apart until Hagrid came.

After coming out of the bookstore, Mrs. Weasley was complaining about Mr. Weasley fighting in public, while Hermione whispered to Harry about Sauron.

"He shouldn't have done that." Hermione said angrily, "Look, Lockhart just wanted to take a photo of Harry. I think Sauron did too much, and that would have a bad impact."

"But Harry doesn't like taking photos, and Sauron just doesn't want to embarrass Harry." Ron said, "and I guess that man's camera was also ruined by Sauron."

"But Sauron would cause trouble if he did that, he had a very bad impact, and the Ministry of Magic did not allow us to cast spells outside the school." Hermione emphasized dissatisfiedly.

"I don't think Sauron would care." Harry said uncertainly. "It was Dursley's turn to celebrate my birthday that day, and he started arguing with Uncle Vernon. As a result, he blew up the door and wall of Dursley's house to pieces. The Ministry of Magic sent him a warning letter, but he didn't care and threw the letter into the fireplace."

Ron and Hermione were surprised after hearing this.

"Soren is so cool." Ron said with envy. Hermione was a little angry. She said: "Only those evil black wizards despise the law. It is not right for Sauren to do so."

Harry's face looked a little ugly, and he said hard: "But he is my brother. He blew up the door of Dursley's house to celebrate my birthday. I think you were disgusted with him just because Sauron made Lockhart unable to come down from Taiwan. Don't forget that the giant monster saved the lives of the three of us at the same time."

"Yes, use evil black magic." Hermione muttered angrily, and Harry turned his head angrily after hearing this.

Ron looked at the two angry people and was helpless. However, when they returned to the Burnt Cauldron Bar, everyone was already much calmer. Hermione's family was separated from them and returned to the street where the Muggles lived in the other side of the city, while the Weasleys had to transport the whole lot of things they bought back to the Burrow through Flood.

For the next period, Harry stayed at Weasley's house, and Soren agreed, but he rarely went to the Burrow again, and only occasionally went to see Harry. Soren asked Mr. Weasley to help investigate the elf named Dobby, but Mr. Weasley said that the people in the Fantastic Beast Management and Control Department had no clue, and some of them thought it was just a harmless joke. As for what happened at Lihen Bookstore that day, it did not appear in the newspaper news at all, as if it had never happened.

Sauron spent most of his time in his old house, studying magic, and occasionally writing letters to Hibiscus far away in France. Forbertell often flew out of the flames of the fireplace and shouted happily in the house. It was obvious that Hibiscus was indulging it to drink too much wine, and then brought Hibiscus' letter or brought Sauron's letter back.

On that day, Soren had installed a dangerous potion in the basement. As soon as he came out of the basement, he saw the black owl of Ibikos landing on the balcony window. Soren took the letter brought by the owl, and the owl flapped his wings and flew away. Soren opened the letter, and the handwriting of Ibikos was written on the letter: "Your Highness, I was unable to obtain authorization for your visit to Sirius in Azkaban. Connelly Foggy showed abnormal determination in this matter." The signature was "Your faithful Ibikos"

Soren frowned. When he learned that Sirius was innocent, Soren tried to get Sirius, also the godfather of Soren and Harry, out of Azkaban. Connelly Forge is a weak person. Soren did not expect that even through the Ibicos family, he would not be able to convince the recognized incompetent Minister of Magic. Thinking of this, Soren was helpless and infiltrated into Azkaban with his power and helped Sirius escape prison. But that would mean a complete turn against the Ministry of Magic. Although Soren was very powerful, he understood that the bargaining chips in his hands were not enough now. The Ministry of Magic was very afraid of him, but if Soren really fought against the Ministry of Magic publicly, Magic Bu would still cause trouble for him.

"It's not the time yet." Sauron thought helplessly, and then he looked at the letter in his hand. It was strange that the letter quickly aged, turned yellow and crisp, and then turned into ashes.
