"And it was imperative that we attend this lesson…why?" Harry asked looking sideways at Hermione. He didn't much fancy Lockhart.

"Because Hermi here was drawn hearts around his lessons," Ron laughed leaning over Hermione's shoulder.

She blushed, "Shut up Ron."

The two boys laughed, "Don't worry 'Mione, we're only teasing," Harry said. Hermione stuck her tongue out at him.

Harry opened his mouth to retort but all the wind was knocked out of him as a small, mousy haired boy, clutching a camera went hurtling into him. Harry went crashing to the ground and groaned as he landed on his back. The boy on top of him scrambled up, and snapped his camera while backing away shaking. "You're, you're Harry Potter."

"Harry Lupin if you don't mind," Harry snapped, sighing heavily. He rubbed his eyes as the boy snapped another photo.

"But you're still the one that killed all those Death Eaters all those years ago aren't you?" the boy's voice was shaking.

Harry winced as everyone in hearing distance went silent. Those who were still talking were hushed.

Hermione and Ron looked at Harry, waiting for an answer.

"I don't remember what happened," Harry growled.

The boy looked at his feet, "Oh…right, it's just, everyone's told me all about it and I just wandered, if you know, if you'd sign a picture for me. It's just, my dad's so interested you see and wanted to send him photos of all the famous witches and wizards I met and…"

"Shut up," Harry growled, "Just shut up."

---Draco and Blaise---

Blaise elbowed Draco in the side, "Aren't you going to say anything?" the dark skinned boy demanded.

"What is there to say," Draco sneered, rubbing his side.

"I'm watching you Malfoy," with that Blaise pushed Draco aside and strode up to just behind Collin. "Handing out signed photos Potter? Being despised not good enough for you, you want more attention?"

"Shut up Zabini," Ron snapped, "it's got nothing to do with you."

"Why should I listen to you Weasel, that little rift between you and the Potters must be costing your family a pretty penny. How long until your gone?" Blaise smirked maliciously.

"Why you!" Ron lunged forward and Hermione had to grab hold of his arm to hold him back but it did little good.

"Ron, stop, fighting won't solve anything, don't you see he's just trying to wind you up," Hermione insisted pushing against Ron's chest now. Ron's face had gone as red as his ears and there was practically steam coming out of his ears.

"Maybe if you auctioned off one of those signed photos you could get yourself a house, I hear that cardboard box of a residence is getting a bit damp nowadays," Blaise laughed. The Slytherins joined in…all except Draco who was looking sullen. Harry noticed that Pansy Parkinson was watching Draco very closely but not saying anything.

"What's this, who's giving out signed photos?" Lockhart was striding up the corridor behind Harry.

"Harry is professor," Blaise said before anyone could protest.

"Harry, Harry, Harry, take it from me, fame and respect is something to be earned, not taken in fear. I have defeated many dark wizards and creatures alike, I have earnt the respect of my fans. You Harry, what you did was not heroic, you could have hurt your poor sister. That really isn't worth celebrating now is it Mr Potter," Lockhart was shaking his head and his tone was so patronising that it nearly drove Harry up the wall.

"Listen here you," Harry began but he didn't finish, Neville had stepped up in front of Harry.

"I don't think you should say things like that Professor, if you were really as good as you say in your books then you wouldn't be so horrid to Harry. He isn't evil, what happened…power can be difficult to handle. He shouldn't be condemned…they were bad people and I know it's not right to say that bad people deserve to die but still…You don't have the right to say that." Neville's jaw was set and his hands were curled into fists.

Harry grinned, "Thanks Neville."

"S'alright Harry," Neville replied, looking over his shoulder at Harry.

"Well, really," Lockhart was beginning to fidget, Blaise was sneering darkly and Draco smirked.

"Aren't you going to tell them Professor?" Draco sneered.

Blaise whirled around to watch the blonde.

"Tell them what Mr…"

"Malfoy," Draco sneered, "and tell them about the Duelling Club of course. You were only telling me about it yesterday. Brilliant idea having such an accomplished wizard such as yourself teaching us hand to hand combat and duelling skills."

Ron snorted at the word 'accomplished'. Blaise narrowed his eyes at Draco and Harry grinned. So Draco had received a positive word from his father…but why hadn't he told Harry? Perhaps his father did not approve, Harry would have to find a way to talk to Draco later.

"Oh…eh…" Lockhart looked flustered for a moment before regaining his composure ands straightening up, making a big thing of dusting his robe, "yes, thank-you for reminding me Mr Malfoy, I was just worrying about a village that has sent word to me about regular vampire attacks."

"More like he was worried about the dust bunnies that might get into his wardrobe," Ron hissed at Harry who sniggered.

Hermione elbowed Ron in the ribs, "That's very disrespectful Ron, I'd have thought better of you."

"Hermione," Ron whined.

"Ssh," she snapped.

"Yes, well, I will officially be starting up a duelling club next week so, sign up sheets will be up later today. I hope to see you all there, after all, you all need to know how to defend yourselves, I won't always be around to save you all," Lockhart said in what he must have thought was a comforting tone.

Chatter broke out amongst both the girls and the boys, exited for the girls, exasperated for the boys. When they got into the classroom it was even worse. Every wall was hidden by gleaming white teeth and shiny blonde hair…Lockhart sure a vein bastard. Harry wondered if he hadn't accomplished a lot of his deeds by simply blinding the poor creatures with his teeth.

"I see you've all bought a complete set of my books – well done. I thought we'd start today with a little quiz. Nothing to worry about – just to check how well you've read them, how much you've taken in…"

Harry blanched when he looked at the paper.

'1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favourite colour?

2. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?

3. What, in your opinion, is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?'

Being a few examples.

"I reckon he got this out of a Witch Weekly magazine," Ron sniggered next to Harry.

Harry snorted before turning to his test paper. Naturally he hadn't read a single one of this twits books after the way he'd showed off at the bookstore.

---Flashback---

Harry had watched with a pained expression as he stood in the queue with Mrs Weasley to get all his schoolbooks signed. Her idea of course.

He, Ron and Ginny (who wasn't as enamoured with Lockhart as Hermione was) were going to get some ice-cream when Lucius and Draco got in their way.

"Well, well, if it isn't Mr Potter. Dangerous thing declaring that werewolf your father, I wonder how long you'll last," the tall man had sneered. He then lunged for Ginny and took one of the books out of her cauldron, he shook it and several of the pages flew out, "My, my, your family is as bad off as ever it would appear," he threw the book back at Ginny.

"Good day to you," with that, he turned on his heal and left, Draco following quick at his heals.

"Git," Ron had muttered.

---End Flashback---

So, he improvised, giving the stupidest answers he could think of.

Later that lesson Lockhart decided, in his all knowingly, I can handle anything, sort of way, that he would let loose a flock of Cornish pixies on them. He then proceeded to run for cover when it turned out he couldn't handle them. Instead, he left if to his class as an 'extra curricular project'. Hermione was not impressed.
