Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter Universe or most of its characters. I do own: Dominoc Dolohov, Frederick McNair, Lysanne Thicknesse, Devon Forrest and Thomas Flamel. I also own about a quarter of the plot of this fanfiction.

AN: I have just updated chapter 6. Its ending changed drastically do it might be necessary to reread it for some of you.

OoOoOoO

Chapter 7

Fame's Folly

OoOoOoO

'Can this man stop smiling like an idiot? And now that I think about it.. Can all the girls stop staring at him?!'"Miss Weasel, would you explain to me in what way I dealt with the Vampires?"

'Curious she is not paying attention. But I guess she has a crush on another celebrity..'"Miss Weasel?" Lockhart smiled a blinding smile and walked towards Miss Weasleys table.

"Oh.. You sold them your sunflare haircreme Professor." Ginevra Weasley responded, having quickly checked on her partners textbook.

'He gets more ridiculous every book..'"Well done, Miss Weasel. Ten points to Gryffindor! Now since I know it does occasionly happen that you are fresh out off my hair products I will show you a spell that will defeat them. Watch and learn." The Professor stood in front of the class and gestured Mr. Creevey over. "Now.. You will want to swirl your wand like this and then 'Rictusempra!'"

'So we will tickle them to death. Actually I think the hair products would be more effective.'"Now everyone please pair up, you boy may partner with him." The Professor pointed at Flamel. "The rest search a partner yourself!"

"Mr. Creevey, how about you do do the first spell?"

After Thomas dodged he fired the spell succesfully towards Creevey.

After class Creevey approached him again, and made a picture. "I am your biggest fan! A real Flamel! I can't believe I have a picture of you. I am going to show Dennis when I get home!"

'More Creeveys, spare me.' Thomas was a bit blinded from the light ovthe picture when he responded. "I hardly think you are my biggest fan Creevey. But you are the most persistent."

"I can't wait to develop it! Oh will you take a picture with us both?!"

"Like I said.. persistant. I am quite sorry, Creevey but I have flying lessons this afternoon and I must hurry to get to them.

"Oh! I have flying lessons too! We can make a picture while we are in the air!"

'Why did I run for the portkey again? Someone save me from this kid.'McNair and Dolohov came as if called. "Hey mudblood, leave off!" Creevey ran to follow his housemates after the slur. Although Thomas usually didn't like it when the word was said, it solved the problem now. "So watcha think Thomas? Can you outfly all the Gryffindors?"

Somewhere this weekend he became friends with Frederick McNair and Dominic Dolohov talking about quidditch. "Probably, as I said I always was a good Keeper back home."

"Keepers are useless at racing though." Dominic replied.

"Watch me." Thomas smirked.

Thomas showed he was pretty good at flying, but he still got beaten in the race.

"By a girl! A Weasley at that! Shame on you Thomas." Dominic taunted while collecting the sickle betting money.

"I was beaten indeed. But you were never even in the race to begin with. Have you figured out how to mount a broom yet?" Thomas playfully taunted back.

Later that day he was studying in the library again.

"Hermione.. May I be so free to ask you something?"

"Of course! Anything."

Thomas smirked. "Gryffindors." Then he sobered. "I was wondering if you knew your fellow Gryffindor Mr.Creevey?"

"Uhm yes. Enthiusastic boy with a camera, what about him?"

"Well could you convince him to leave me alone? He is constantly trying to take pictures of me and it drives me crazy."

"I don't think he will Harry also tries to make him stop it but he doesn't really listen.. Just ignore him. One day he will calm down."

"I will be blind before that day."

"You're exaggerating."

"We have classes together. The moment the Professor stops talking I am assaulted by him."

"Alright I will talk to him. Don't expect a miracle though."

A week later a miracle was exactly what he got. Colin Creevey was found petrified in a corridor by Harry Potter.

OoOoOoO

AN: Please give your opinion about it all in a review. If some things are unclear I want to be able to clarify it or explain that it is a later plot discovery or so.
