Mrs. J.K., … I have nothing… Oh yeah, I have fun writing about Harry. He is my favorite chew toy. So I write for free.

What came out is the fact that I won't kill anymore out of the dungeons. The fact that I killed Dumbledore in cold blood spooked me. Although I am not convinced this is a real-world, it feels bloody real to me. So I'll go mad in the dungeons and fuck the professors in between. And avoid those crazy crones with their whips.

Well… life is good because 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 up to date.

Teaching classes was fun, tutoring the Owl and Newt classes three hours a week saw them catching up on the years of having bad teachers.

The side activities were fun too. I was co-founder of the Harry Potter fan club, Ginny Weasley and Collin Creevy, president and secretary. It was surprising how many members they got.

If looks could kill, Harry would have been a murderer. I explained to him: "Mister Potter, now that your mail block is lifted, your guardian has put a filter on your mail. He asked me to explain how to handle fan mail, and most importantly your fans.

This is where the fan club comes in handy. First, think about the letters, if you don't respond to any of them, what will they think of you? Spoiled? Arrogant? Lord Greengrass put a statement in the Daily Prophet that you never received mail. This means now you do get mail.

Your fan club can help you with it, take a few hours a week with them and let them help to respond to those letters, most are coming from them anyway."

Harry looked horrified at me, Daphne said to him: "Harry, listen to Professor Lockhart, public opinion is important for you. Like it or not, you are a celebrity. Not responding to your mail once is insulting people that are feeling positive about you. So if something negative happens to you they could turn their opinion on you."

Yep, like in sports, if you win you are a hero, lose a few times and you are trash. Daphne got, with the help of Hermione and Tracey, Harry so far that he sacrificed two hours on Saturday to the Fan-club. I laughed when they got him so far to write a personal column in the Quibbler with Collin providing a picture. Daphne and Hermione did the editing, thank Merlin for that.

The tasks I set for the first four years showed remarkable results, they formed teams, one from each year, especially with a firsty in it for the map in my book. The school is a bloody maze, several rooms and corridors were found, passages that connect different floors. Shortcuts to the Library and Great Hall from each common room were the best.

When the firsties did their first presentation to me, I pointed out that there was a difference on the seventh floor. On one it was a broom closet, on another a passageway, it was something else on every team.

Luna did the most discoveries of secret passageways, she shrugged and said: "It was easy to see, the Blibbering Humdingers showed it to me."
