Run : A Harry Potter Fanfiction

Chapter 2: the start of everything.
the sorting started more or less straight away. then once it was over Dumbledore stood up and said "Let the feast, Begin." and the golden plates were suddenly filled with food. I ate a full plate of chicken and rice and chips. holly had the same food as me. Then there was pudding, I had a bowl of vanilla ice cream and holly had strawberry ice cream. Once we had finished I looked up to the staff table to see a rather disgruntled Snape, an angry McGonagall and a disappointed Dumbledore returning to the staff table. I looked over to holly and said "Where have they been?"
"No Idea." she says as the last bits of food melted off the plates. We all look back to Dumbledore who stands up and begins his speach for the beginning of the year.
"Now that we have Eaten, I would like to Remind All students to stay out of the Forbidden forest, Mr Filch the school caretaker has asked me to remind you about the list of banned items at Hogwarts School, I believe the list contains no less than 495 Objects that list can be viewed outside his office by anyone who wishes to View it. We Have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year, Please join me in Welcomeing Mr Gilderoy Lockheart known this year as Professor Lockheart. Now I believe it is time for bed. Do well this year, Goodnight." He said and we were dismissed. I walked sleepily to the Hufflepuff Common Room and tapped the rythem Helga Hufflepuff on the Third Barrel from the Left and walked into my brightly coloured Yellow Common room and took the stairs on the right to my common room which is about halfway up the staircase and changed into my pyjamas and as soon as I crawled into bed I fell asleep.
-Next Day-
I woke up with a smile on my face, it was a new year for me, a new beginning and I couldn't wait to get started. I climbed out of bed and got changed into my uniform and then read my copy of a standard book of spells grade 2 for a little while whilst Holly woke up. I waited for her to be done in the bathroom and then we walked down to breakfast together, skipping on the way. we laughed on the way and then sat at the top of our house table so that we'd get our timetable first. I had a bowl of cereal and left it at that. I waited for professor Sprout to come down the table with our timetable and once we got ours I looked at mine and it said:

"Its Wednesday, we have Lockhart first." squealed Holly
"I can barely contain my excitement." I say so sarcastically I could have rivalled Snape, but Holly didn't quite catch it.
"I know right!" she said as I shook my head, "Wait a minute... that was sarcasm wasn't it?"
"You don't say." I say my voice dripping with sarcasm and she just shoves me as we go to collect our bags. I don't know why I just get a bad vibe from Lockhart, a really bad one like he's a bad guy. I attempt to shake off the feeling as I walk into his classroom as he stands at the front of the room.
"let me introduce you to your new defence against the dark Arts teacher, me." he says and smiles creepily and Holly just sighed and I looked puzzled."Now before we begin we will be taking a small quiz on how much you have taken in from my books." He says handing out sheets of paper. "You may begin." he says and sits behind the teachers desk. I sigh heavily and begin to answer the questions on the sheet. I saw that they were all about him so I decided to put rather sarcastic answers. here they are:
1.What is My Name? Well you should Know it s your name but last time I checked it was Giteroy Cockfart

2.What is Gilderoy's favorite colour? Puke Green
3.What is Gilderoy's Lockhart's secret ambition? To stop being a self centered Dickhead
4.What, in your opinion, is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date? He has Acheivements?
5.How many times has Gilderoy Lockhart won Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award? Hopefully None
6.In his book Break with a Banshee, how did Gilderoy Lockhart bravely banish the Bandon Banshee? I dunno his book looked like Me me me
7.Which is Gilderoy Lockhart's best side for photographs? None of I can help it
8. What does Gilderoy Lockheart do in his spare time? Practise for interviews like the pompous git he is.
9.Has Gilderoy Lockhart ever won the Dunstable Duelling Championship for wizards or just been pipped at the post? He probably made them put him there by jinxing them all
10.Which product does Gilderoy Lockhart use to clean his teeth with to achieve his famous dazzling white smile? Unicorn Turds!!
The list went all the way down to 54, My last three answers were:
52.Which is the person name which Gilderoy Lockhart has given to his broomstick? Sticky the third
53. What is Gilderoys Best feature? None of him and this isn't sarcasm.
54. When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday and what would his ideal gift be? No Idea but he might like a Unicorn or a real achievement?
I finished and looked at my answers with a sense of finality. maybe he won't be so sure of himself, I for one do not believe that he has Actually achieved any of this crap he has put in his books. It seems fake, really fake. Once we have all finished our 'Tests' He collects them In and flicks through them, He pauses and looks apprehensive at one of the papers and then he opens his big fat mouth.
"Ms Alcove! We are not here to be sarcastic. My Name is not Giteroy Cockfart and My Favourite colour is not Puke green. Detention Tomorrow night after dinner 8 o Clock." A few kids laugh at the Giteroy Cockfart bit and I smile.
"I really don't Care Professor" I say audibly
"Ms Devon here has the highest marks.Well done." I just smile at Holly when she looks at me angrily, but it softens after Cockfart Lockhart says her name. I just roll my eyes, really Detention with Lockhart? I'll just be answering his stupid Fan mail or sorting them out into alphabetical order. It's Stupid. why the hell did Dumbledore hire him of all people? 'If its a war they want its a war they'll get' I thought as I walk into potions with Holly and the Ravenclaws. if it's a fight they want, Bring It On.
