The Guardian

Chapter 12

Lana's PoV

Around a week after that wonderful incident, there was a battle club thing. Well, of course I joined, I mean Harry joined, so I had to join. Anyway we were  discussing the teacher we were about to have.

"I'm okay with anyone, as long as its not," Harry began, then broke off into a groan.

I saw Lockhart on the stage and gagged.

"Thats who's going to be teaching us?" I spluttered.

"Unfortunately," Harry said grimly.

"Oh Gods, this isn't going to be good," I said.

"Gods?" Ron asked curiously.

"Whats wrong with that?" I asked.

"Well, I never heard that before, I just hear Merlin, or god, or something like that" He said.

"Well, I believe in more than one god," I said, "Like the Greek gods, you know?"

"You're interested in Greek Gods?" Hermione asked me.

"Duh! It's basically my life," I said, oh how true that is....

"Thats so cool! I'm reading up on it right now, and its so interesting!" Hermione gushed.

"I know right! My family is big on the Greek Gods," I said, "So I've grown up with the tales my entire life! My Mom and older brother love it,"

"What about your Dad?" Hermione asked me.

"My Dad was lost at sea since I was a baby," I said, "My step dad likes it though,"

"Oh," Hermione said softly.

"I don't really see my Step-Dad, I stay at my camp usually, I've only met him once or twice," I said.

"Gather Round! Gather Round! Can everyone see me? Can you all hear me? Excellent! Now, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little dueling clue to train you all in case you ever need to defend yourselves as I myself have done on countless occasions, for full details, see my published works! Le me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape! He tells me he knows a tiny little bit of dueling himself and has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration before we begin. Now, I don't want to worry any of you youngsters, you'll still have your potions master when I'm through with him, never fear!" Lockhart said.

I started tapping on my foot, I couldn't stay still!

"Wouldn't it be good if they finished each other off?" Ron asked Harry and I.

Snape's upper lip was curling and Lockhart was still grinning like an idiot. Than they began the duel. Blah blah blah, wow, Snape won, WHAT A SURPRISE~*Note the Sarcasm*

"Do you think he's all right?" Hermione asked.

"Who cares?" The three of us said together.

I smiled and when Lockhart insulted Snape, he looked purely murderous. Lockhart noticed, I think... But we were in pairs anyway.

"Oh no, looks like an odd number, don't fret my dear, I will duel with you!" Lockhart said to me.

"Permission to murder him?" I muttered to Snape.

"Granted," He said sarcastically.

"Oh yeah! Lets get this party started!" I hollered and started to 'duel with Lockhart'

As in I knocked him out against a wall, ha ha ha, Ooh, I'm Evil. I sat on the ground bored out of my mind. Then I was tugged out of the room by Ron as everyone was staring at Harry in shock, I saw a snake disappear.
