TOUCHING STARS ( g. lockhart )

"When you, an ordinary student, keep your distance from the dazzling charms of Gilderoy Lockhart, you never expect him to take notice of you. But something about your indifference intrigues him more than he's ever been intrigued by anyone before."

At Hogwarts, you're just another face in the crowd, an unremarkable student who doesn't fall for the wizarding world's most famous (and most conceited) hero. As his student, you're forced to endure Gilderoy Lockhart's flawless smile and exaggerated tales of glory in every Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson. While your classmates swoon over him, you see through it all. His stories of bravery and charm, always too perfect to be true, fail to impress you.

But when Lockhart begins to take an unusual interest in you, an interest that goes beyond the classroom and beyond the surface, something shifts. Slowly, the lines between the dazzling star he appears to be and the man hiding beneath the facade begin to blur, and so do the boundaries of your growing connection. As the heat between you intensifies, what starts as a forbidden attraction soon spirals into something much deeper... and far more dangerous than either of you ever expected.
