Harry Potter: Reborn as Lockhart

Chapter 31



Title: Favors...




….
-Gilderoy POV-



It's strange, seeing a relatively normal professor just teaching. 

"So what do any of you know about pixies?" Asks the teacher, a couple of hands are raised. I raised my hand too, but he picked another guy from Hufflepuff. "Yes, mister…"



"Holsworth, sir." Answers the student a little embarrassed. "Pixies are blue, around eight inches tall, mischievous magical creatures. They are considered to be harmless by most."


Professor Stoker nods at this with a smile on his face. "Excellent mister Holsworth, ten points to Hufflepuff. Still though, in this first lesson, I will explain in minute detail how a pixie usually acts, their reactions, their strengths, and weaknesses."


"Because next week, you will be battling against one." Says the professor as he uses a brave tone on his voice as if they will be fighting against dangerous creatures. The students laugh at this and so does the teacher.


….
The class ends and I must say… he is good. Now I am even more curious at how he will be expelled out of the school, or maybe he will leave voluntarily.


Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I can now protect myself even against someone like him. I currently have a dozen charms waved into my robes that I doubt even a rocket launcher would kill me.



….
….
One week later and we have the same class as the teacher and he teaches us some really practical stuff. Even I can say that I am learning some things actually, sure they might be obscure and useless for the most part. But that doesn't mean that they will be useless in the future, so I put it in my mental library for later Observation. 


I casually take care of the pixie and get a couple of points for my house. I don’t necessarily care about something like that. I guess the system was most likely put in place so the children would have competition between themselves band push each other harder. Sure some children might become hateful and kill another kid, but back then it was the middle ages, a terrible time to live in and there was such a high chance of death from literally everything.


….
After the lessons, I walk along the halls of Hogwarts alone and contemplate a lot of things that I will do this year. I must start playing a little game now of dodge the Slytherin, those guys have started becoming irrational inbreds now.  



….
I arrive at the quidditch field and see that the rest of the team was at. Honestly, they really suck at playing Quidditch, and if it wasn’t for the fame that it gives, I wouldn’t be playing this sh*tty sport.



As I walk there I see the team captain testing the new students, those who are my year as they can now try for the Quidditch team. Unless they are exceptional, they are unlikely to be accepted, after all, there are older years trying to be accepted here and they have actually had the time to train in the Quidditch field. 



*yawn* I yawn a little and get to sit down on the stands with my other teammates. “Why am I even here?”


As I ask that, one of the teammates whose name I don’t even remember, I would look on my mental library for his name but that sounds useless as I won’t need to even mention his name currently. 

“Well, we are here to determine who is gonna join this year’s quidditch team.” Says the nameless teammate. I only sigh at that. 

“Welp, then I am outa here.” I tell them as I get up and start walking away.


“Oy! Lockhart, take this seriously for a moment at least.” Says another one of my useless teammates. To which I ignore and start walking away as if I didn’t even hear him. I hear his clothes riffle and the familiar sound of his wand being summoned is made.


“Stupefy!” Yells out the guy, I don’t even turn back as in less than a second my wand is in my hand and I have cast a shield around myself. I shoot ten silent stupifies at him, and they all hit him as he is blown backward. 


I turn slightly at them and say. “I don’t mean to offend you guys… but we are on completely different levels. You don’t have to worry, I will win all of our games.”



…..
-General POV-


As Lockhart walks away, the other Ravenclaw Quidditch team members look at him in shock. They had never seen such spellwork before, only in the second year at Hogwarts and he used such a flawless movement to cast a spell. They hate to admit it, but Lockhart is a prodigy amongst prodigies in their eyes. After all, how else would he be so good at charms… well, he is good at everything he ever does. Even useless subjects like History of Magic, he is the best at it.


….

Gilderoy walks back towards the library, to him, in Quidditch, anything more than winning the games is useless. As he is walking he activated the magically enchanted contact in his left eye and a 3D map of Hogwarts that only he can see appears in front of him. There are countless names moving around the castle. This is one of the items that he has been working on all summer. He checks the map every now and then to see if anyone is following him, and a red dot is following him it seems. A red dot means a Slytherin is there, meaning that it’s dangerous.



Suddenly he starts running very quickly, that surprises the Slytherin, and can’t keep up as Gilderoy enters a secret entrance and the Slytherin walks past him. He sees that it is a female Slytherin, so he goes easy on her and casts a stupefy on her, after that he pulls her into a hidden compartment and starts reading her memories. 


‘Hmmm… oh, so she is just a stalker. I guess that assuming that she was some Polyjuiced spy sent by Voldemort to hunt me down wasn’t true then.’ Ponders Gilderoy, he always assumes the worst during situations like this. ‘I guess I am popular even amongst the Slytherin House girls.’ 



He then changes her memories once again and just makes it seem like he outran her.



….
….



Halloween comes around and here I am in the hallway with a 6th-year Slytherin girl, meeting in secret. If anyone saw us they would assume the worst as she drags me into one of the empty classrooms. I just look round and once I confirm that no one is around and that there are no overhearing methods. I cast a couple of wards around and transfigure the door do it can’t be opened physically or magically at all. 


I then look at the blond-haired and blue-eyed girl in front of me, she was quite beautiful, her face has those pure-blood aristocratic features. She had promised me something and I don’t mind getting it.


“So you ready?” I ask her and she takes a deep breath, she seems nervous and excited at the same time. 


In the end, she nods and takes her off her robe other garments. If anyone saw us together and assumed something… now they wouldn’t be necessarily wrong.


She looks at me as she covers her chest with her arm as she is about to take off her black panties. “Don’t forget Gilderoy, you have to throw the quidditch match against Slytherin.”


I smile back at her and walk closer. “Of course.”
