GILDEROY LOCKHART WAS NOT going to be a good teacher. Hope could tell the minute she stepped foot into the classroom. the class a year prior had been decorated with posters that gave information on creatures and dark magic, but now they had all been replaced with portraits of Lockhart.
"Let me introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher, Me" Lockhart said flashing a smile at the class as he stood on the staircase in the classroom
Sitting beside Hermione, Hope looked over at her and she looked in awe at the man, Hope rolled her eyes before looking back at Lockhart.
"Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League and five times winner of Witch Weekly's Most- Charming-Smile Award" Lockart boasted as he came strutting down the stairs to the class – not before casting a glance at his portrait displayed at the front,
"But I don't talk about that" he added leaning against the desk, Hope turned around to share a look with Ron and Harry who looked utterly shocked this man was currently teaching them defence against the dark arts.
"I didn't get rid of the Bandon Banshee by smiling at her" he laughed at his joke but stopped when he saw the blank stares from the majority of the class,
"Now... be warned It is my job to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind" Lockhart began to walk around his desk to the covered cage at the side tapping his wand against it making whatever was in it, start to squirm.
"You may find yourself facing your own worst fears in this room" Hope sighed and began doodling on her parchment as it was clear she wasn't going to take any notes this class.
"Know only that no harm can befall you whilst I am here" Hope grinned at her drawing of Lockart before turning round to show it to Ron, and Harry both of them trying not to laugh at the doodle of Lockhart with rather dramatic features,
"I must ask you not to scream. It might provoke them" Lockhart ripped off the cover to reveal the cage full of cornish pixies, the class laughed at the pixies wondering how they could be threatening.
"Cornish pixies?" Seamus asked
"Freshly caught Cornish pixies" Lockhart explained glancing at the cage and then back at the class.
Seamus laughed along with the class "Laugh if you will, Mr Finnegan, but pixies can be devilishly tricky little blighters" Lockhart said,
"let's see what you think of them now!" Lockhart opened the cage and immediately the pixies came flying out directly at the students, grabbing onto anything they could destroy which thankfully was mostly just copies of Lockhart's book,
Hope dived down onto the ground with Hermione - most of the students following behind, so they could avoid being attacked by the pixies. Lockhart wasn't helping as he was just shouting at them all to round up the pixies that were tormenting the class but mostly poor Neville,
"Not.the.hair" Hope gritted out swatting away the pixies that were trying to grab her hair,
"watch out!" Harry shouted as he swung a book near her the back of her head, hitting away one of the pixies,
