When Love Lasts

15) first duel

There is a small brake before our next class.

I think defensive against dark arts class will be interesting.

I decided to go to the library and learn a little.

I went to the library and started searching for a book.

" Hey Sofia " a voice said from behind.

I turned around and saw Hermione.

" hey Hermione " I said.

" what are you searching?" She asked.

" I just wanted a book that will help me catch up " I said.

" ok let me help you with that" she said.

She then walked in the opposite direction and I followed her.

She started searching for a book in a shelf.

" if you ask me, I think you doing great. It's just your first year and your already better than Harry and Ron " she said.

I just smiled.

Yup, Harry and Ron really need all the help that they can get.

" here" Hermione said and handed me some books.

" one for each subject, that should help you" she said.

" thank you Hermione " I said.

She smiled in return.

I decided to read about defense against dark arts first because it's the next period and it will be helpful.

I continued reading for a while and then left because it was time for the classes to start.

...

I reached the class and sat near Pansy.

professor Lockhart is the new defense against dark arts teacher.

When the whole class was seated, Lockhart cleared his throat loudly and silence fell.

He reached forward, picked up Neville Longbottom's copy of Travels with Trolls, and held it up to show his

own, winking portrait on the front.

"Me," he said, pointing at it and winking as well. "Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five-time winner of Witch, Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award but I don't talk about that. I didn't get rid of the Bandon

Banshee by smiling at her!"

He waited for them to laugh; a few people smiled weakly.

"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 "

When he had handed out the test papers he returned to the front of the class and said,

"You have thirty minutes, start now!"

I looked down at the paper and read:

1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?

2. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?

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

On and on it went, over three sides of paper, right down to:

54. When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday, and what would his ideal gift be?

This is rubbish.

It's not even related to Dada (defense against dark arts).
