Disclaimer:

Mrs. J.K., I enjoy your side characters, they are fun too. I love to play with them… OK… Reading this out loud... it is all kinds of weird... Meh, I do it for free, I am entitled to have some fun.

I laughed: "You the smart Snakette, explain what happened." With her heart pumping in her throat, she said: "It is not real, you used something to confuse us." "Very good Miss Greengrass, I used an illusion, a real lifelike. Now, everyone, come back to the front so I can release my pixy, it is your job to catch it using one of the two spells you just learned."

Again, it took ten minutes before they organized themselves, Daphne for the Snakes and Harry for the Lions. Harry succeeded to hit it with a spell.

"Congratulations all. You have noticed now, that your enemies don't stand still and wait for you to hit them with a spell. We will practice on that, we will use the pixies for it, or if you prefer my Nundu, that can be arranged too. Now off you go."

17 Soul searching.

It took a few weeks before the novelty wore off, teaching kids was fun, and in its own way very awarding. To see them pick the spells up easily, I especially took pride in that they were eager to learn the spells.

They filled the weekends to search the castle for the hidden rooms. With the Diadem and basilisk out of the way, there were practically no dangers left for them. The sixth-year students were having a hard time.

Some of them truly believed muggles stole their magic, so I let them take a peek into my bedroom, allowing them to steal my magic at night. At that time I was entertaining Sinistra, Vectra, and Babbling, the adult way.

Percy Weasley, Penelope Clearwater, A Puff Girl, and two Slytherin boys got an eyeful of grown-up activity and decided to try stealing my magic on another day. It so happened they had Astronomy class a few hours later. Percy and the two snake boys were looking more at Sinistra's ass than at the stars.

The next day, my reputation went through the roof.

Every four days I Cut a Skill from Snape, I felt sorry for him, so I Cut my Self Pithy and Paste it on him. It became hard for him to pretend he still had the Skills, before each class he was writing the recipe on the blackboard, yep, I Cut that Skill too, and studied the potion they are supposed to make that lesson.

Meh, let him struggle for a while. He became very paranoid of the Sixth year class, they were after all studying ways to steal Magic, and somehow one of them is stealing his magic.

Three weeks into term, Malfoy senior approached me, we went into an empty classroom for a talk. He began: "Mr. Lockhart, sources informed me you can remove very powerful curses. Is this true?"

I gave Malfoy my Trade Marked Smile: "My dear Lord Malfoy, I am the Great Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League, five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most-Charming Smile, Play Witch Monthly's most used fantasy, and the most loved Defense against the Dark Arts Professor at this moment, can certainly remove difficult spells, as you might have read in my many bestselling books."
