Submission for:

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry (Challenges & Assignments): 2 Week Drabble Wars: Main Attraction ft. Dialogue Prompts - Secondary character - Gilderoy Lockhart. Prompt - "Alright, well I'm going to go now." / "I'm sorry. Was I not just in the middle of a story?" / "Yeah, but I wasn't really interested in it." (The Most Popular Girl In School


Bellatrix couldn't believe she used to idolize this boy. He was the most popular boy in Ravenclaw, so at the time, it only made sense that she try to get her hands on him and make him hers. She had thought it would be easy but his lack of interest had proved to more of a challenge, one which Bellatrix accepted whole-heartedly. Bellatrix Black was not one to lose.

She used all her tricks: the crazy 'sex-hair' that Andromeda often teased her about and her mother would scold her for, the sultry pout when she spied him looking her way, 'accidentally' bumping into him in the hallways and even the dreaded 'bend and pop' Narcissa was fond of using. However, the boy just wouldn't look her way.

It wasn't until she started talking about hair products did he pay her any attention, then she had too much. He droned on and on about himself, his blond wavy hair, his dashing good looks and his perfect straight teeth. He praised all his Quidditch games with running commentary about how he managed to keep his perfect visage while scoring goals. And he followed Witch Weekly more than she did, able to quote various beauty articles from memory.

Eventually, Bellatrix had enough. They had been sitting in the Library and he had spent the last half hour talking about how his last bottle of Sleakeazy was almost finished and the next Hogsmeade trip was too far away. However, Bellatrix stood up suddenly, slamming her hands on the table between them and effectively halting his monologue. "Alright, well I'm going to go now," she said, shouldering her bag and books.

The blond scowled. "I'm sorry. Was I not just in the middle of a story?" he asked.

Bellatrix shrugged. "Yeah, but I wasn't really interested in it," she said. She reached out and held his chin, angling his eyes into hers. "If only you learnt to keep that big mouth of yours shut and your ego in check."

She let go and made her way towards the doors of the Library. "Goodbye, Gilderoy," she said with a small wave over her shoulder. "Forever."

Then she stopped and turned back to add, "And your hair has been frizzing for the last five minutes. I've been just waiting for you to notice."

With Gilderoy's shriek, Bellatrix left the boy and exited the room.
