Mr. Weasley came over with the twins and Meng Meng. They first protected their sister Ginny behind them, and then stood and confronted the Malfoys.
Joel's face deliberately showed an expression of surprise and fear. Looking at the two gloomy faces of Malfoy and his son, it was natural to associate Joel with the victim.
"Arthur Weasley..." Lucius didn't have the energy to care about a brat like Joel for the time being. There was a bit of sneer on his face, "You turned Malfoy Manor upside down. What kind of black magic did you find?"
Have you got the items?”
"If not, I hope Mr. Weasley will pay attention to his words, lest I go to Minister Fudge to complain against you." Lucius narrowed his eyes and threatened.
"Speaking of which," Lucius glanced at the cauldron that Ginny had placed in the ground, "Does the Ministry of Magic not give overtime pay to our hard-working employees? I should urge Mr. Minister more and not let the employees feel cold."
Joel lowered his expression and started doing warm-up exercises on the side. Ginny and Harry looked at him in surprise.
Lucius pulled out the books from Ginny's cauldron. In addition to a complete set of Lockhart's works given by Harry, there were also several tattered second-hand textbooks.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." There was a hint of schadenfreude in Lucius's eyes, but on the surface he frowned to express his dissatisfaction, "I said, Brother Weasley, your family isn't so poor, is it? You even bought new textbooks.
Can't afford it?"
Mr. Weasley's face turned as red as his hair.
Then his eyes passed over the other children of the Weasley family, "Okay, okay..." He spoke in a sinister tone, "It seems that the salary of the Ministry of Magic is not high, Mr. Weasley does not consider it.
Join the Malfoy family?"
"The salary we provide can at least buy a few new robes and new textbooks for your children." Lucius shook his head slightly, "I don't think you have the skin and shame to hang out with half-bloods, but the life of a pure-blood wizard is like this
Don't you feel a little bit guilty about your child?"
As soon as Lucius said these words, Joel knew that everything fell into his plan. No one could bear to be so humiliated in public. Mr. Weasley yelled and jumped directly on Lucius.
, the two actually started fighting on the ground.
This scene shocked several people present. Draco Malfoy did not expect that his father still had such a side - he clenched his fist and punched Mr. Weasley on the head, but was immediately beaten by Mr. Weasley.
He held the blond hair under his body.
The passers-by around them had already cast curious glances, and the Weasley brothers quickly surrounded the fighting area. They did not step forward to separate the two, mainly because Mr. Weasley had the advantage.
Lucius treasured his flowing blond hair very much, and it protected his hair during fights. However, Mr. Weasley didn't have much hair on his forehead, and he didn't pay much attention to maintaining it, so he ignored it during fights.
This also confirms a theory from the side: people become stronger when they become bald.
Draco Malfoy was blocked outside by the Weasley brothers and could only watch his father being pinned down and beaten by the "pure-blood traitor".
Joel did some warm-up exercises and glanced at the cauldron at Ginny's feet. The Riddle diary in his robe pocket was about to move.
"What's wrong, Brother Joel?" Ginny blinked her watery eyes with a soft and cute look on her face.
I can't let go.
Joel looked at Ginny's crystal clear eyes and couldn't bear it. In his opinion, the Ginny in this world had nothing to do with Riddle's diary, and he had no way of passing on the Horcrux to others.
He put down his arms and his eyes naturally shifted to Draco Malfoy, who was holding the Weasley twins' arms.
A bold idea came to my mind.
As a pampered heir to a pure-blood family, Draco Malfoy naturally doesn't have to do the textbooks, cauldrons and other school supplies he buys in Diagon Alley on weekdays. House elves naturally do it for him.
But the elf Dobby who was following him today didn't know what he was going to do. He didn't come to Diagon Alley. Little Malfoy had to carry the basket by himself, which was filled with brand-new and shiny textbooks. At this moment, the basket was placed in front of him.
The scene is not far away.
He borrowed paper and pen from Ginny, wrote a line on the paper and stuck it in the diary. Then he tiptoed to the basket, opened a copy of "Magical Me", and stuffed the diary into it.
Harry was watching the fight and didn't notice Joel's little movements at all. Only Ginny who lent him paper and pen saw this scene.
As soon as Joel put the diary into the carrier, he heard Mrs. Weasley's scolding from the distance.
She had just come back from Lockhart's book signing. Her family's condition was not good and she didn't buy the expensive autobiography. The price of one book was enough for her to buy a lot of vegetables and meat to supplement nutrition for her children. Every time she thought about it,
The children were wearing old robes and holding old textbooks, which made me feel somewhat apologetic.
After looking at Lockhart's beauty for a while, Mrs. Weasley was satisfied and went to find her bald husband.
Not far after leaving Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, she saw two middle-aged men fighting each other. She recognized her husband and quickly took out her wand. A white light flashed and the two men were thrown away.
Draco Malfoy broke through the defense line built by the Weasley twins and stepped forward to help his father.
Lucius's meticulous blond hair was cut off quite a bit, his right eye was bruised, and the corner of Mr. Weasley's mouth was cracked and a stream of blood flowed out. Their originally clean and tidy robes were covered with dust, and they looked miserable.
Mrs. Weasley quickly cleaned her husband's wounds.
"Weasley, I have recorded this revenge. I will retaliate later in the future!" Lucius panted, hugging Draco's body and walking out.
"You haven't got your carrier yet!" Ginny suddenly reminded.
She saw with her own eyes that Joel's brother stuffed a diary into the basket. Based on her understanding of Joel's habitual liar, the thing must be a trick toy. The twin brothers at home often did this kind of thing, and it scared Luo every time.
Well, Malfoy had just ridiculed and humiliated their family, so it would be absolutely unjustifiable not to punish him.
Draco Malfoy glanced at the basket. The book on the top had been stepped on by someone, and a shoe print was pressed on Lockhart's face. The man still grinned as if he hadn't noticed.
The bright smile seems to be endorsing Yida’s advertisement of “Smiling Makes You Strong”.
He waved his hands in disgust, "No, I'll give it to you if you want it."
"That's right, little girl," Lucius gasped, "You've never received such a valuable gift, have you?"
"I don't want it!" Ginny said angrily, "Even if it is a second-hand textbook, as long as it is bought by my mother, I think it is useful. Who will accept your charity!"
After that, she forced the basket into Draco Malfoy's hands.
