Mr. Weasley hasn't seen you for a long time. What happened just now? Why did the fight start?"Peter asked with a smile, and casually cast a healing spell to heal the wounds on Arthur's face.

"Thank you, Peter." Arthur touched his face and said gratefully, and then said angrily,"That Malfoy is my old enemy. I don't know what happened today. He frequently provokes me. I can't bear it. I gave him a punch."

As he said this, Arthur felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was a little embarrassed in front of a group of children.

"Oh, is it?"Peter couldn't deny it, and his eyes inadvertently turned to the book in Ginny's cauldron.

"Arthur, I heard someone say, you and Malfoy got into a fight?"A rough voice came from outside the store. It was Hagrid who was late.

"Hagrid, you are late, otherwise you would have seen Malfoy, who was beaten like a plucked peacock by me! Arthur said proudly with a smile.

"What, Arthur, you got into a fight! Mrs. Weasley's voice came from the side. Mrs. Weasley put her hands on her hips and said angrily to her husband,"I asked you to take good care of the children, but you fight in front of them!" This gives them a bad head start!"

"Oh, Mom, that Malfoy was so hateful that Dad couldn't bear it anymore and so he beat him!"The twins cried out for their father.

"Shut up, Fred George, if you don't try to persuade Arthur, you are still arguing. If Percy were here, he would definitely hold your father back."Mrs. Weasley scolded the twins.

"Oh, model student Percy!"George curled his lips and said

"Mommy’s sweet baby Percy!"Fred said angrily.

"Shut up! Mrs. Weasley glared at the two of them.

"Long time no see Mrs. Weasley! How are you lately?"Peter quickly stepped forward to say hello, saving the twins from continuing to be lectured.

"Oh, Peter, thank you, you are such a good boy, I just heard that you were the one who pulled Arthur away."Mrs. Weasley had seen Peter, her expression became very gentle, and she gave Peter a hug.

The twins made strange expressions behind Mrs. Weasley's back, causing Peter to give them a look.

"Peter York!"As soon as Peter left Mrs. Weasley's arms, there was a sound of surprise from behind, and then he was pulled over.

When Peter came back to his senses, all he saw was Lockhart's greasy smiling face.

"Peter York, recipient of the Second Order of Merlin and champion of the International Wizarding Duel Competition! It's you, right? I've seen your photos!"Lockhart looked at Peter curiously,

"Today was a great day, both Harry Potter and Peter York came to my book signing! Come on, let's take a photo together, it will definitely make the headlines of the Daily Prophet!"

"No thanks, I don't want to take pictures!"Peter refused coldly.

"Come on, Peter, you may not know, but I am your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester! Surprised or not?"Lockhart grabbed Peter and refused to let go, showing his eight big white teeth and thinking he was very handsome.

Peter was not someone who was easily bullied like Harry. Seeing that Lockhart refused to let go, he gave Lockhart a light pat. Te grabbed his hand and quietly used a magic

"ah!" Lockhart threw away his hand with a stinging pain. He felt the pain in his hand as if it had been pricked by countless needles. He looked at Peter in surprise.

"Thank you," Peter smiled and nodded, and then left him.

The twins noticed the movement just now, walked to both sides of Peter with smiles, and asked curiously,"What did you do just now, that peacock actually gave up on you?"

"It was nothing, I just gave him a small curse to make him feel as if his hand was being pricked by a needle."Peter said calmly

"Cool, well done! The twins gave a thumbs up, and then complained,"This peacock actually became our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. I suspect he is selling books!""

"Take a look at our guide books, what are they about"Breaking with the Female Ghost"》、《Traveling with Ghouls》、《Vacationing with a dominatrix》、《"Walking with Trolls" and so on, seven books in total!"

"Can we use so many books in one semester? And there are no second-hand books, not to mention they are very expensive!"

"You also know the situation in our family. So many people want to buy so many books. When I get up at night, I hear my parents discussing whether to sell some ancestral things!"

As the twins spoke, their expressions no longer looked cheerful, and they said worriedly,"We are thinking about using the funds from opening a store in the future to subsidize our family?"

Peter didn't say anything, just patted the two brothers on the shoulders.

Knowledge in the wizarding world is expensive. Basically, the price of a book is about one or two gold galleons, not to mention the price of each of Lockhart's books. Each book costs 2 gold galleons, and seven books cost 14 gold galleons. The Weasley family currently includes Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny, who has just entered school. In total, Come down, but the Defense Against the Dark Arts book costs 70 gold galleons!

Don’t think it’s not much, you have to know that the price of dragon liver in Diagon Alley has recently increased to 17 silver galleons per ounce, and many wizards complain that it is expensive. You must know that it is the liver of a fire dragon!

But the price of books is more expensive than dragon liver, which reflects the expensiveness of magic knowledge. Therefore, many wizards leave school if they cannot learn as much knowledge as possible in school. It is difficult to gain access to more magical knowledge unless you have enough financial resources!

This is why the founders of Hogwarts are respected by so many wizards. Just because they gave many wizards a chance to learn..

Of course, although Lockhart's book is just a travelogue, the reason why it is so popular is that besides his writing style, it also contains a lot of reliable knowledge about dealing with dark creatures. Although he plagiarized all this knowledge. Having said that, Peter looked at The twins looked sad, and quietly pulled them aside and said,"Let me give you a suggestion. In fact, you don't have to buy them all. After all, your Defense Against the Dark Arts classes are not held at the same time. You only need to buy one set of books. When the time comes, all you brothers can do is take turns bringing books to class!"

Hearing Peter's words, the two brothers' eyes suddenly lit up.

"In fact, I have the simplest way, which is to use the copy spell to directly copy a few sets of books! No cost at all!"Peter covered his mouth and whispered.

The twins' eyes brightened, but then went out again."But it's a pity that the copied things will disappear after a short time. We have to use them for a whole semester."

"Don't worry, Professor Flitwick taught me a text copying spell. As long as I prepare a blank notebook, I can copy the words in another book and they will never disappear!"Peter said with a smile.

"This is a good idea!"The twins said in surprise, and then they hugged Peter,"Peter, you are really our timely blessing!"

"Harry just gave Ginny a set of Lockhart's books, so we don't have to buy them!"The twins said to Peter expectantly,"Parchment paper is very cheap and doesn't cost much at all, but when it comes to copying, it's up to you, brother! We don't know how to copy spells"

"No problem. When the time comes, I will also use the transformation technique to transform the book cover for you, making sure it is exactly the same as the real book!"Peter promised with a smile.

Then Peter walked up to Ginny, pointed to the crucible in her hand with a smile, and said directly,"Ginny, can you show me the book in your crucible? I seemed to have read it just now. Malfoy slipped something into the book he gave you!"
