Harry Potter: Reborn as Lockhart

Chapter 36




Title: Numerical Advantage...




….
As the Aurors go to talk with 'Professor Stoker' now. The man is in his office, grading some exams from the children when.


Baam!


The door of his office comes off its hinges and two well-dressed Aurors come in with their wands pointed at the man.

Professor Stoker looks at the men with a calm look on his face, the only indicator of his surprise is the slight widening of his eyes for a split second. 


"How may I help you, gentlemen?" Asks Stoker politely as he gets up and his purple eyes stare at the two Aurors in front of him. 


"Mr. Stoker, you are under arrest for your past crimes against muggles and wizards alike." Says one of the Aurors as he points his wand at the man in front of him, the other Auror also continues saying. "You have thousands of murder charges against you… Dracula."


The now dubbed Dracula doesn't say anything for a couple of seconds as he just stares at the men in front of him calmly.


"I think that you guys might have the wrong person. I am just a simple teacher." Says Stoker, his face still calm, expressing nothing for the two Aurors to go on.


Fwish!


Stoker immediately tries to pull up his wand, but before he can even point his wand at the Aurors, the two men shoot a dozen spells at the man as they already have their wands pointed at him.


Baam!!!


Stoker's body smashed into the wall and some of his ribs crack as the mean conjure chains that they wrap around the man.


"Dracula, you are under arrest for countless crimes… resistance to questioning and arrest was just added to it too." Says one of the Aurors.



As this was all happening, none of them noticed an ear that twitched in the shadows. 


But a Phoenix who was 'coincidentally' flying across the window as this happens looks at the room, the creature is intently looking at the ear on the ground who twitches one last time and disappears.

-Lockhart POV-


Damn, I guess framing Professor Stoker was a good idea after all. He was Dracula, who would have thought, I understood that he was a vampire by his mannerisms and how he reacted around certain things. Welp, now I have to somehow make sure to have the man die in prison. 

The man can't be allowed to live, who knows, he might decide to escape and figure out who framed him. It doesn't sound like a good idea to play around with hundred-year-old monsters. Better go all out against them, and go for the kill.




….
-Dumbledore POV-


I look at Stoker's back as he is taken through the flu network through the fireplace in my office … he is handled like an animal as the Aurors push him harshly. He is likely to get a Dementor's Kiss now, his crimes are endless…


His story is truly sad, he was just another man wanting to protect his homeland. But he got twisted along the way and made some deals with certain dangerous creatures. 

He truly did change for the better, so don't worry Dracula, as while others may remember you only as a bloodthirsty monster. I know the real you, I know the man you are deep inside.



*sigh* This is quite sad… but… it seems like Lockhart has been up to some things too. He seems to be hiding something. I don't know what it is, but I will need to figure it out.


….
-General POV-


As Dumbledore is contemplating such things, his mind becomes heavier and heavier. The arrest and likely face of Dracula putting a frown on his face. 



….
Gilderoy on the other hand just packs his stuff as he will be going home soon, he has already finished all of his exams and is gonna be getting ready for his new book. Also this summer he plans to travel the world and look at how other Magical Communities are like.


He isn't as close-minded as to think that Magical England is all that there is to magic. In this wider world, someone like Voldemort is nothing. As 'Dark Lords' rise constantly around the world and they are put down.



'I can't wait to see this beautiful world, and get a little far away from Britain as things are getting a little too heated in here.' Contemplates Gilderoy, he understands that just one sneak attack on him by a competent mage is enough to put him down for the count. So he needs to go and see what other cultures have to offer, he has also already written the book that he wants to publish this summer so he won't be working on it this summer.



The new book's name was 'Tips and Tricks For Hogwarts Classes' by Gilderoy Lockhart. 


'This should bring me some more fame, especially in the future when people will look back at this and be amazed. I literally put 7th-year classes and detailed explanations about them and I am only 2nd year.' Pondera Lockhart, thinking of the exciting future in front of him.

….

And so another two weeks pass, everyone finishes their exams and Lockhart passes them all, with flying colors too. He has been to the last Slug Club meeting and saw that the Slytherins are getting more private and… they have been dodging Lockhart like a plague.


Though it is quiet, everyone at the top of the Slytherin hierarchy knows where the two Slytherins were at the night they were killed… they know what they were planning to do.

Did it intimidate them? No… it more like terrified them. They had heard what had happened to their corpses. Shredded to small bits… no one is willing to have that fate.


Lockhart has also been playing his own game, and instead of shying away from the blame and keeping his head low. He acted as if it was nothing, he succeeded in his plans of putting fear inside their stomachs. He doesn't care about what they think of him, what he cares about is that no Slytherin will attack him as they did back then...



He has now understood that love and admiration are not enough to hold back his enemies… 

'There is fear too.' Contemplates Lockhart in the Hogwarts Express. 'They must fear me so much that even the notion of attacking me will have their bowels give up on them.'


He looks at the forests as they pass by, a bored look on his face as he has a guide book in his hand.

The title of the guide book read; A guide to the Magical Communities of F-...

The rest of the title wasn't visible at all. Lockhart has the book dissipate from his hand as he uses a wandless charm to put his book on his bag.


….
It doesn't take long for him to reunite with his family, his sisters had grown prettier and a little taller while he was at Hogwarts. They were now starting to show their womanly charms, but Gil didn't pay any attention to this as he just used a round of Obliviate on his family as soon as they entered the car.

AUTHOR NOTE: 
Bram Stoker in real life is the author of the novel 'Dracula'. So yeah, it was a play on words by me.🤣
