Harry Potter's sister ~~~ Fanfiction

blood wart part 21

The next morning; Harry, Ron, Emma and Ginny were sitting at the table having breakfast when the Hogwarts letters arrived.

"What in the world?" said Ron "Why are there so many books by Lockhart?"

"Lockhart?" queried Harry, he consulted the booklist and sure enough the booklist contained seven books by a Gilderoy Lockhart and the Standard Book of spells Chapter 2.

Fred and George came downstairs and looked over Harry and Ron's shoulders

"Lockhart books…" said Fred

"Those won't be cheap." Said George

"Why not?" asked Harry, students generally weren't expected to pay much for course books, in comparison to other texts.

"They're really popular." Said George "Lockhart is a famous wizard who's been round the world encountering dark creatures. But to be honest he writes an awful lot of books; on virtually everything, from duelling to dealing with household pets."

"Oh!" said Harry "Is he any good?"

Harry suddenly found himself swamped by Mrs Weasley's descriptions of how wonderful Gilderoy Lockhart was and proceeded to show him "Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Household Pests".

"Um George, this guy has fought against countless dark creatures right?" asked Harry

"So he says." Said George "Why?"

"Well it's just, I could be wrong but, for a man who goes on a lot of adventures he seems to be rather… well… he seems more like he's spent more of his time at the hairdressers than going after magical creatures, and maybe the dentist too." Harry indicated the front picture of Lockhart who had his hair finely combed back and sparkly white teeth.

"I've never really thought about it before. Mum fancies him…"

"George!" said Mrs Weasley blushing

"…but then again I don't think I've met a witch who doesn't."

"He is kinda cute!" said Ginny, who immediately blushed after having spoken in the same room as Harry.

Emma looked at the picture of Lockhart, she had to admit he did look handsome or "kinda cute" as her friend put it.

Harry looked at his sister and saw her smiling at the picture, but decided it best not to say anything about it "Wonder what the listed books will be like?"

Later at lunch an owl flew in through the kitchen window and promptly collided with a jug of orange juice, which proceeded to shatter on the Kitchen floor.

"Oh Errol!" said Mrs Weasley from the stove. She cast some magic, over the jug and the spilt liquid while her son attended to the owl.

"It's Hermione's reply, I wrote and told her I'd be collecting you and Emma." Said Ron

While Molly frowned at the reminder of what her sons did with the enchanted Ford Anglia, the boys read Hermione's letter.

Dear Ronald (and Harry if you're there)

I hope whatever you do isn't going to be illegal because that could get Harry in trouble. But I must admit I am worried. Harry was writing to his sister non-stop last year and I don't think it was just because he missed her. Anyway if you are there Harry I hope you're alright, Emma too.
