Harry Potter: Reborn as Lockhart

Chapter 32



Title: Halloween is fun...



….
-Gilderoy POV-



I look at the body of the naked Slytherin girl below me. I don't even know her name, I just lost my virginity in this world to a girl I don't even know the name of. Well, at least she isn't some crackhead like the girl I did it within my first life.

*sigh* I guess this is it for me then, since the girl in front of me is so tired I pull out my wand and before she can even react.

"Obliviate." I whisper the spell, just to be sure to give it that extra power. I delete memories of our little 'night'. 

Though she did it willingly, I don't want her to come out twenty years with a sexual assault charge or something like that once I become famous. Happened a lot in the muggle world, so definitely happens in the magical world too.


Still, it doesn't matter, I better make sure I nip these in the bud before rumors start flying around. I must also modify her memories delicately so no one notices.



…
Half an hour later and I finally finished this memory modification. Made it almost perfect, even had temporarily put down her Occlumency Shields… they were surprisingly strong. She wasn't even hiding anything impressive in there neither.


….
The rest of the Halloween night passes and I have a good celebration. It was quite fun, socializing after that whole ordeal with the Slytherin girl… her name was Emma… I think…


I looked inside my mental library and confirm that her name was that. 

….
….
Two days later and the Quidditch match against Hufflepuff comes about. We absolutely win easily, obviously, it's only 99.99% because of me. As always, my useless teammates are still useless like always. 


This time they didn't even need to protect me as I had modified my broom a little so I was mortifying everyone. The pixie dust also definitely helped. Slowed perception is overpowered as always. Though an eighteen-minute game feels like a couple of days to me so that kinda sucks.


I am still a little pissed that I can't find anything wrong with the new D.A.D.A teacher so that is putting me a little on edge. I am worried that something disastrous might come from him, though my future self said that this year's teacher will be good. Who knows what that guy is thinking, my future self could just be testing me not to trust anyone or anything. I know myself… and I know what I would do with power like this.


….
….
December comes about and on the 22nd of December, Christmas Holiday comes around. I decided to not go back home, what was I even gonna do back home? 


Anyway, I am currently in the dining hall. There are only some students that didn't go back home during Christmas, and some teachers are also here. I see that the D.A.D.A professor is also here. I don't stare at any of them too long as I act like I am reading a book.


I stab my fork into the steak on my plate. I have been thinking recently, and have decided that I should go into the Forbidden Forest. That place might seem like a death trap to many people, but to me, it's a treasure trove. 

The magical resources in that place are unfathomable. Just the price of something like acromantula venom is expensive as hell. But I can find as much acromantula I want in that place.


Also, the recent ritual that I have researched and plan to do on myself. It's nothing too big, it just allows my eyes to detect when a person is a mage/magical creature or just a normal person.


This might seem useless normally, but it's priceless when for example running away from wizards or finding them within a crowd of people. It's an old ritual, one that was relatively common back in the days of the witch burnings and such. This way they could detect who was a real wizard and not a muggle just trying to trick them or something like that.


….
After eating, I close the book in front of me and get up from my dining table. I use a charm to clean my hands and I walk away from the dining hall.



…
As I walk along the corridors, I walk in the yard and see that snow is all around and it's still falling. I just cast a couple of warming charms on myself and I walk towards the forest. 


No one truly stops me as I walk, towards it. A holographic map appears in front of me and I see if anyone is following me. I see that no one is following me, so I just walk in the forest.


…
I see that the snow around it makes the place pretty. I already have a shield charm around me just in case. 


As I walk along the snow, the only sound I can hear around me is the crunching of the snow below my feet and my beating heart. This is quite a nice place to visit sometimes. I see some birds fly around, but the place is still eerily quiet.


That is until I see in front of me… an adult hippogriff. I can see its rebellious attitude in his eyes. I walk towards the creature and bow slightly. This would appease it, for now, I don't wanna fight the creature. After all, why fight when one can negotiate?


*SCREECH*


 But immediately I wince a little at the creature's screech. That is all the warning I got as the bird-like creature started trying to use his huge beak to pierce me.

I just twitch my finger slightly and ropes come from the ground and restrain the creature in front of me. The hippogriff tries to move its body and screech, but I tie up his mouth, feet, and wings.


Baam!


It falls on the ground, I take my wand out of my sleeve and point it at its head. 


"Obliviate." I whisper the name of the charm and by using my Legilimency I start modifying the memories of the hippogriff in front of me.

It seems like I am about to get a new pet. This will be quite useful, especially since the pet can fly. Normally brooms would be as fast as a hippogriff, but when riding a broom, one has to concentrate on flying and fighting, if the situation calls for it. The advantage here is clear, it's like two guys have a shoot out on their cars but one of their cars had an AI self-driving, so the other guy could concentrate on the shooting and even use the car as a shield too as he doesn't have to look at the road.




….
After a while, I look at the hippogriff's eyes as it wakes up. I can see a certain obedience in them, I just put a story in its head that I raised it when it was small and such. This would never work with humans but with animals, it’s a whole different thing.
