Chapter One-The Beauty Pageant
And the winner is…Gilderoy Lockhart! Would Mr. Lockhart please come up and receive his award for the third time in a row, Witch Weekly's most stunning smile. As Mr. Lockhart made his way up the stairs, camera's flashed, and beautiful girls fainted, as he flashed his famous smile at them.
Gilderoy Lockhart was abruptly interrupted from his daydream, as people began to file into the room where the beauty show was being held, but instead of looking nervous, Gilderoy looked more and more confident. He made his way slowly through the crowd, stopping every few feet to hand out autographs, even though no one really asked for them. Most of the people, however, kept their autographs. Gilderoy had a way of making people feel like he was a god, amazingly important, and very handsome. His friends, Amos Diggory and Ludo Bagman always agreed with him, and although Gilderoy was incredibly stupid for someone of his age, he always thought that he was right, and as Ludo and Amos worshipped him, they never disagreed.
"Amos, Ludo, so glad you could make it to watch me".
"Amos and I were just discussing which of the girls we think are going to win tonight," Ludo informed Gilderoy pompously.
"You have, have you? How incredibly lovely, and I'm sure that neither of you are going to bet on the boys, because it is just, just" Gilderoy was at loss of words for a few seconds, and then, gathering together what brain cells he had, he said,
"Obvious, very obvious, that I will win"
"Of course, Gildy, there is no need to place a bet on the boys. I mean you are sure to win" Dedalus Diggle had snuck up behind the three boys and joined in their conversation. Normally Gilderoy would have minded, a lot, but now he was looking for more admirers, so he sucked up whatever Dedalus said. He knew that he could always count on Dedalus Diggle to be there when he needed a compliment, like most other people, Dedalus worshipped him.
"Well boys, wish me good luck, not that I need it or anything but anyway, I have to be going, I don't want to be late." Gilderoy said as he walked off to find the place where he was meant to be.
Meanwhile, Lily Evans and her friends, Leah Kozmin and Pia Halliday where just settling into their seats when Lily let out a screech so loud that she almost deafened the people near her. Something hard and spiky had poked her on the bum when she had sat down, yet Lily was positive that nothing had been there when she had checked.
"Oh, my god" she screamed, just as Pia spotted James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. She grabbed hold of Lily's arm and pointed at them. James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were killing themselves laughing.
"I am so going to kill James Potter" Lily muttered under her breath and marching over to the other side of the room, grabbed James by the arm and walked out.
"Hey Evans, touché " James said, grinning at her as she stood in front of him, glaring.
"POTTER" Lily screamed as loud as she could, causing the people near her, to rush their children inside the hall and close the door quickly.
"Yes Evans, that is my name" James said, still smirking at her.
"POTTER, what the hell do you think you are doing"
"You do know of course, that when I sat down, somehow, I sat on a pinecone. An invisible pinecone" Lily was now giving James the glare of all glares. He, meanwhile, was pissing himself laughing.
"POTTER" she screamed, right into his ear.
"I am sick and tired of your games, I have wanted to do this all year and now I am going to do it". With that, she slapped him as hard as she could, stuffing the invisible pinecone that had been on her chair, that she had taken out with her, down his back. She turned on her heel and stalked away. James stood there and stared at her back, mouth hanging open, and cheek still red from her slap.
Meanwhile, inside the hall, Pia had just something not altogether to pleasant in her bag. She had put her hand in to find her purse. Immediately, the sound of James and Lily screaming at each other outside, was blocked out by her scream, when she felt something disgusting and slimy. She looked up just in time to see Sirius Black, point at her, whisper something in Remus's ear, and start laughing. She marched over to him, grabbed him, and pulled him out the door, ignoring the EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY sign.
"Sirius Black what the bloody hell do you think you are doing, putting a goddamn frog, A FROG, in my bag" she screamed, as soon as they got outside. Sirius was still laughing at her, he just couldn't help himself, and the expression on her face had been so funny. Oh here we go again, he thought, and burst out laughing so hard that Pia decided to end things, fast.
"Yeah, well, if that's your idea of fun Black, you have a seriously warped sense of humour" she said, still yelling as loud as she could.
"Well Miss Pia 'I know it all' Halliday, at least I have a sense of humour, unlike some people" Sirius spat back, starting to get angry.
"Yeah well, I've got news for you Black, I HATE YOU, and right now I would love nothing more than stuffing this frog in your mouth". And that's exactly what she did. Pia then turned on her heel and walked away, leaving Sirius, with a frog in his mouth, behind her.
By the time that everyone got inside (Sirius having managed to get rid of the frog and wash his mouth out about a thousand times, meeting James up on the way who threw the pinecone in the bin) the fashion show had already started. In fact, it had almost finished. They were giving out the awards, and it was time to give out the male overall winner. You could see the ten boys who had been in it lining up nervously on the side, except for Gilderoy Lockhart, who stood at the front, smiling his award-winning smile at the world. 'And the winner is…………..Gilderoy Lockhart'. The crowd went wild, obviously they had all liked him, until someone realised, looking around, that the only people clapping were Gilderoy's family, two best friends and a small, fat boy, who was standing up in the corner clapping loudest of all. (A.N just in case you're wondering that's Dedalus, not Peter).
It was obviously a tape, so that Gilderoy wouldn't feel bad when he got hardly any applause from the audience.
"Thankyou, thankyou, first of all I would like to thank my dad, my best friends bla bla bla bla". Gilderoy didn't actually say bla bla bla, only it sounded like he did, to most of the people in the crowd, except for, again, his friends and family. How ever, everyone woke up pretty abruptly and quickly a few minutes after that, because Gilderoy started to sing.
"I am beautiful, no matter what they say, yes I am so handsome. I am beautiful, I'm sure you would agree, yes I am so handsome. Every day, I look in the mirror, and I say, oh Gildy, you are just, so handsome. All of your friends, I'm sure they would agree, that you are just, so pretty".
Gilderoy, looking out on the audience, decided that they had all collapsed, as they most of them had fallen back asleep, walked over and took his trophy from the sleeping judge, and walked off stage, muttering something like
"Must call the ambulance, all of them seem to have passed out"
The rest of the evening was pretty boring, and most of the people stayed asleep throughout the whole awards ceremony. The heat was also unbearable, and everyone was sweating badly. Most of the people, however, woke up in time for the light tea that the people had put out.
Lily and Pia were doing their best to ignore Sirius and James, who had decided to tell Remus and Peter what had happened outside as loud as they could, without Remus's parents hearing them. Lee kept trying to sneak glances at Remus, and unfortunately for everyone else, he caught her eye, waved and dragged James, Sirius and Peter over to say hi. It was a very strange conversation. Lily, James, Sirius and Pia were ignoring each other, Peter kept going to get more food to eat, and Lee turned bright red every time that Remus talked to her. Then, Remus decided that he had had enough. "God guys, get over yourselves already. I mean, this is just such a dumb argument, over nothing," he said, glaring at Lily, James, Sirius and Pia in turn. There was an uncomfortable silence.
"Does anyone want any pie?"
Peter had a way of interrupting conversations (or uncomfortable silences) at the wrong times that was very annoying. Everyone groaned, and turned their attention to Peter.
"Hey, what did I do?" Peter asked, his last words, before James put a silencing charm on him, and they elapsed back into an uncomfortable silence, and it stayed that way, with only the girls speaking to each other, and Remus, and vice versa, until they all went home.
Hey Guys, Donzi here, I decided that I needed to fix some parts of my story, so I decided to post it again. The story will be the same, just this one is better written than the other one. So read this one and review it. I will be updating it soon and also adding the other fixed up chappies.
It's just holidays now and I'm not really meant to be on the computer much so it might take a little while. So please review this one, THE NEW AND IMPROVED, FRIENDS, FOES AND FLIRTING. Bom, bom, booom!! REVIEW PEEPS
Donzi
Next chappie will include some sneaky little kisses, perving done by certain males (oh and maybe some of the girls) and some locking in train compartments. Oh and a lot of eating done by Petey. And some annoying little worshippers. And thanks for reviewing the other one. Much appreciated.
