On and on Alexandra wrote until she reached the last page.
54. When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday, and what would his ideal gift be?
December, 25th because he wants to take the place of Santa Claus. As for his gift, it would be having brainwashed everyone so he would never be revealed as a fraud.
Ten minutes later, the fraud aka Gilderoy Lockhart collected in the papers and rifled through them in front of the class.
"Tut, tut – hardly any of you rembered that my favourite colour is lilac. I say so in Year with a Yeti. And a few of you need to read Wanderings with Werewolves more carefully – I clearly state in chapter twelve that my ideal birthday gift would be harmony between all magic and non-magic peoples – though I wouldn't say no to a large bottle of Ogden's Old Firewhiskey!"
He gave them another ridiculous smile. Alexandra tightened her fists, counting to hundred and doing her best not to think about drawing her wand and cursing Lockhart here and there. Nigel was now staring at Lockhart with the expression one reserved to those in the asylum or under hallucinogens; in the front of the class Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas were shaking with silent laughter. Most of the other Gryffindor and Ravenclaw boys were looking at him with plainly disgusted expressions.
On the other hand, many witches looked at their Professor with adoration and Alexandra realised with disgust this number included Hermione. Weird. Had they not done the sa test as the boys and realised the stupidity of the wizard in front of them?
"… but Miss Hermione Granger knew my secret ambition is to rid the world of evil and market my own range of hair-care potions – good girl! In fact –" he flipped her paper over, "full marks! Where is Miss Hermione Granger?"
Hermione raised a trembling hand.
"Excellent!" bead Lockhart flashing his teeth which shone so brightly it was borderline insulting. "Quite excellent! Take ten points for Gryffindor! And so, to business …"
The flashy fraud bent down behind his desk and lifted a large cage, covered by a purple-violet sheet which stopped all the students to know what was inside.
"Now – be warned! It is my job to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizard-kind! You may find yourselves facing your worst fears in this room. Know only that no harm can befall you whilst I am here. All I ask is that you remain calm."
Alexandra had the deep sense sothing terrible was about to happen. She didn't see the new Professor putting a troll in this small cage, but...
"I must ask you not to scream," said Lockhart in a low voice. "It might provoke them."
As the whole class held its breath, Lockhart whipped off the violet sheet, unveiling a cage full of little blue-coloured creatures.
"Yes," he said in a dramatic tone which sounded sowhat wrong in her ears. "Freshly caught Cornish pixies."
Seamus Finnigan in the first rank couldn't control himself. He let out a snort of laughter which even Lockhart couldn't mistake for anything else.
"Yes?" Lockhart smiled at Seamus.
"Well, they're not – they're not very – dangerous, are they?" Seamus choked.
Alexandra was forced to admit Seamus as a point. Cornish pixies were generally calm creatures, classified by the British Ministry as a category X. No deaths or serious casualties recorded in over a century. Anything but a mortal threat.
"Don't be so sure!" said Lockhart with another flashing smile, pointing a finger in an imperious manner at the still smiling Seamus. "Devilish tricky little blighters they can be!"
From her position, all Alexandra could see was that the pixies were electric blue and about seven or eight inches high, with pointed faces and voices so shrill it was like listening to a lot of won with shrilled voices speaking at the sa ti. The mont the sheet had been removed, they had started jabbering and rocketing around, rattling the bars and pulling insulting faces at the people nearest them. They looked quite agitated and not the least peaceful. In fact, they looked really angry. Having a bad feeling, Alexandra took her wand from her holster and placed in front of her, ready to use it if the situation degenerated.
"Right then," Lockhart said loudly. "Let's see what you make of them!" And in a move no one had expected, Lockhart opened wide the cage.
