Harry Potter: Reborn as Lockhart

Chapter 34



Title: Death...




….
-Gilderoy POV-


As I felt my arm being ripped off my socket, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised. These guys are now messing around, they are going for the kill.


My adrenaline was so high that I wasn't even thinking about what I would do or what would happen next. I was in a fight or flight situation, I can see that there are no paintings around me. 

Dumbledore might have a lot of observation power in this castle, but even he isn't omnipotent in here. 

That is when I decided… no it wasn't even a decision, as I point my wand. I am not going easy on them. 

I point at the ground below their feet. 


<Confringo> I silently cast the spell, I don't know if they can defend against it. But it doesn't matter if they can defend it as the spell hits the floor.


BOOOOM!!!


It causes a huge explosion, as that happens though, I do not let up and fire ten more stunning curses. Hitting them both as they are midair and can't defend.

Bam!

They fall off the ground, I walk towards them and fire as many curses at them as I do so. I also notice that a ward falls off…


Silence ward? It seems like these two little Slytherins thought that they could take care of me and keep it silent. Well, we will see about that.


The debris clears up as I get close to them and see the grotesque creatures they have become due to the curses I cast on them. They have bucked teeth, fleshy horns coming out of their heads, their skin seems to have turned inside out and pus is leaking out of their bloodshot eyes.

I don't care about any of that as I point my wand at their heads. "Legilimens!"


I go through their minds and do not care if I leave them mentally dead from this experience, I make a copy of their important memories from learning some curses from their parents.


I look through their memories and see that a mysterious Death Eater actually pays them to kill me. It seems like they met in the Forbidden Forest to make the deal. There is no contact information from the person, and neither does it seem like he ever intended to meet these two fu*ks ever again.


I look at the map and see that no one is closeby, so I use Obliviate in both of them and modify their memories to the extreme.


"Imperio." I whisper the spell and immediately a green mist comes from my wand and hits the people in front of me.

I gave them orders to go through a secret tunnel where no one can see them and have them kill each other.


They get up and start walking away. 

I just point my want at my stump and whisper the blood clotting curse, which is supposed to stop blood flow and hurt someone, but it's perfect for my situation as I can stop the bleeding and still keep the blood vessels healthy.


…
On the other hand, for me, that is when the adrenaline wears off and the pain of not having an arm comes. I could feel the weight from my left side gone and not feeling my left arm at all. I go and grab my arm, and start walking towards a statue of a man standing heroically with a sword. I just go and touch his finger, opening a passage on the wall behind it.

I enter the passage and cover my arm with my Hogwarts uniform so no paintings that might see me notice. 

I don't have any spell in my mind that can reattach an arm like this. 


I walk amongst the dark passage with a stumble in my step a little. This might be a blessing in disguise for me, as it is a wake-up call for me to learn higher-level healing charms. Epiksy can only heal some scratches and a broken nose at best. 


*sigh*... so much to learn… I should also be more on guard. If their spells both hit me, then I would have lost both my arms, I can do wandless magic, but not handless magic. I must now take precautions against situations like these.


….
I go to the Room of Requirements and once I enter inside, I can immediately smell the scent of medicine.


….

….

As the next day comes about, Lockhart is back to the dining hall. He looks for Amelia and waves at her Hufflepuff table. She smiles slightly and waves back at him subtly.


Lockhart sits down at the table and grabs the healthy food that the house-elves have prepared for him. It isn't anything out of this world, it's just a healthier eating habit. That is usually the hardest step when someone wants to live a healthy lifestyle.


'Having someone cook the food is truly better.' Ponders Lockhart, knowing just how troublesome some things could be.


"Students." Calls out Dumbledore from the teacher's table. "Today I have some grave news. It seems like two of our Slytherin students have been missing since yesterday evening."


As soon as he says that, the students are a little worried. Someone missing is a big deal.


"The missing students' names are Robert Nott and Tommen Rowel." Dumbledore's stare level on everyone amongst the hall. "If anyone has any information on them, you can report to your head of your house."


As he says that he sits down as he seems to be in a grave mood.


"Damn, I hate Slytherins, but hopefully nothing bad happened to them." Says a student who is sitting next to Lockhart.


"Yeah…" Says Lockhart absentmindedly, his glance settling in the new D.A.D.A teacher. His eyes shine for a split second, unnoticeable by anyone else.



….
After breakfast, it is D.A.D.A and Ravenclaw has the class together with Gryffindor. 

Lockhart like always is one of the first students to arrive in this class. 

Professor Stoker is reading a Sci-Fi novel now, as he only glances at his students as they start sitting down.


Gilderoy pulls out his homework and puts it to the side of his desk as he opens the Defense Against The Dark Arts book, he goes to a certain page and starts reading it. But in reality, he has opened a book in his mind and is doing some revision on advanced rituals and trying to learn the dark curses that the two students that he killed yesterday learned from their families.


'Purebloods truly know some special stuff.' Realized Gilderoy. 


….
As the students arrive within the classroom, the professor starts his lessons five minutes later, just like always. 


"Well, due to some recent events I would like to teach you some more offensive spells." Says Professor Stoker, closing his book and getting up from his desk.


"I want to show you the best and most effective spell one can use against a Wizard." Says the professor as he takes out his wand and with a wave of it, his chair turns into a wooden puppet with a wand that starts moving around.

"Expelliarmus!" Shouted Professor Stoker, hitting the doll in the chest, and having it crash in the wall, with the wand in the doll's hand flying away.


Baam!

Professor Stoker looks at the students and smiles. "Tell me now, what did you see there?"
