Chapter 2– Gilderoy Lockhart.

------------------------------------

After I came to the stunning conclusion that I was now in the body of one Gilderoy Lockhart and that I am him now for all intents and purposes, I decided to pick my precious wand back up and explore my home and gather more information about myself and my place in this world as I am sure some things were not included in the books and movies. So I travelled around the elegant apartment and familiarised myself with everything I saw. The more I saw, the more I remembered, and the more I assimilated the memories of the old Gilderoy Lockhart. I found my luggage set in the closet of my bedroom.

It was a large set of luggage that is used to hold my many belongings from my years of travel which was an impressive collection that included my many robes of varying colours, some portraits and photos of me as well as a variety of hair and skin care products, on my vanity desk I found my peacock feather quill which I had specially made from a peacocks feather and I only use it on special occasions such as autograph signings or for responding to my fanmail all of which I wrote using my infinite bottle of lilac ink.

I found my elegant broomstick in my relatively open plan and elegant living room, which I had specially carved after purchase. However, I can't recall which broom company produced it as the broom is virtually unrecognisable from what it used to be, which was for the better, I would say, as it now sits proudly above the fireplace, hanging on the wall as an excellent conversation piece.

I then travelled to my makeup room which I used whenever I needed to make a public appearance. It was full of all my beauty products and expensive hair care potions like the wizarding sculpting gel and my favourite Ocammy egg yolk shampoo, which was my own creation but wasn't put into production, being too costly to make. Still, I can afford to create some for my own usage, and it is only a matter of time before I have the resources to start selling it in Britain and then across the world.

Then at the very entrance to my home, directly in view from the front door, is a glass display case that holds all of my published books which are Magical Me, Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Household Pests, Break with a Banshee, Gadding with Ghouls, Holidays with Hags, Travels with Trolls, voyages with Vampires, Wandering with Werewolves, Year with the Yeti, Marauding with Monsters.

And finally, my most significant book, The Travel Trilogy (which is just a collection of Holiday with Haggs, Voyages with Vampires and Wandering with Werewolves, which sold exceptionally well, containing three stories as well as a short story exclusive to this book), but my most prized possession had its own shelf within the display case being in the very centre, and that was my Order of Merlin, third class, a medal which was awarded to me by the British Ministry of Magic for my outstanding and beautiful achievements.

My personal favourite is Magical Me, which is my autobiography and the latest book to be published, which all my darling fans bought with zeal as it gave an intimate view into the extraordinary life of the world's most beloved author. It starts with my early life stating that I was born on the 26th of January 1964 to a reclusive wizard who focused all his attention on magic and to a pureblooded witch and that I had two older sisters who were both very kind and supportive of my dreams, while I was born to an average wizarding house I knew that I was meant for more than that.
