Thanks to everyone that reviewed. There were so many I couldn't name them all.
"So that is why his crystal reacted to the Weasleys" said James
"I'm glad to see he is following the Potter tradition of going for a red head" he said smiling
Lily hit him upside the head for that remark.
A few days later at Hogwarts, Hermione came up to Harry and Ron with her head down. "You were right Harry" said Hermione
"There was no way he could have done everything he said he did" she said
"I'm glad you finally saw reason" said Harry smiling
"Now I can start pranking him" he said smirking
"Why were you waiting" asked Ron
"I didn't want Hermione to lecture me on how I shouldn't do it" said Harry
He enlisted the help of Ginny, Fred, and George to help prank Lockhart. Since he loves his appearance so much they decided to mainly mess with that.
After they started pranking him Lockhart started showing up later and later to class until he didn't show up at all. Not liking this at all, Harry had Fred and George look for a way so Lockhart wouldn't know he was pranked.
During the next DADA class Lockhart walked into the room and all the boys started laughing while the girls shrieked.
"What is the problem" asked Lockhart
"What happened to you" shouted one of the girls
"Nothing" said Lockhart
He looked in the mirror and screamed. His hair was all messy and different colors and his face was covered in red marks. He quickly ran out of the room and back to his office.
A few weeks before Christmas a notice went up about a Dueling Club starting up.
"That could be fun" said Ron
"I wonder who would teach it" he asked
"Maybe Professor Flitwick will teach it" said Hermione
"I heard he is a dueling champion" she said
"It will most likely be that idiot" said Harry
That night they all went to the Great Hall and saw Lockhart and Snape on a stage.
"I was right" said Harry sighing
"Gather around, Gather around" said Lockhart
"Can everyone see me, can everyone hear me" he asked
Nobody said anything as Lockhart said "Excellent"
He took off his cloak and threw it into the audience causing several of the older girls to fight over it causing Harry to sigh.
"I have been given permission to start this little dueling club to teach you how to defend yourselves like I have on countless occasions" he said
"Let introduce my assistant Professor Snape" he said waving at Snape
"Don't worry, you will still have your Potions Master after I am through with him" he said smiling
"That should be the other way around" said Harry causing Ginny to giggle
Both Snape and Lockhart got into positions on either end of the stage as Lockhart said "Now that we are in position, we will cast our first spells"
"Expelliarmus" said Snape sending a red jet of light at Lockhart
Lockhart got hit and was blown back off the stage and his wand flew into the air and landed on the stage. He quickly got up and back on stage picking up his wand. "That was a good idea showing them how to disarm" said Lockhart
"I knew what you were doing the whole time and could have stopped you if I wanted to" he said smiling
"Yeah right" said Harry
"Maybe we should show them how to block unfriendly spells" said Snape
"An excellent idea" said Lockhart
"Aurion get up here" he said
"Draco" said Snape
Both Harry and Draco got on stage and stood facing each other.
"Just do this" said Lockhart waving his wand around only to drop it
He quickly picked it up and said "I guess it got a little excited"
Harry ignored him and focused on Draco.
"Scared Aurion" asked Draco smirking
"Of you" asked Harry yawning
"You won't even be a halfway decent warm up" he said stretching
Draco growled as Lockhart said "On the count of three send your spells at your opponent"
"One, two…" he began
"Everte Statum" shouted Draco shooting a spell at Harry
Harry barely moved to dodge the spell.
"Spread" said Harry
A column of water appeared under Draco and threw him into the air.
"Thunder Blade" said Harry slashing his wand down
A sword made of lightning came down and pieced Draco shocking him. He screamed out in pain and fell to the ground unconscious. Harry yawned and asked "Is that it"
Lockhart nodded dumbly as Harry got off the stage and Draco was taken to the Hospital Wing.
On their way back to their dorms Ginny asked "Was that more of the magic you are going to teach me"
"Yes" said Harry
"But you won't be learning those for a while since they are more advanced" he said
Once Harry came home for Christmas, Lily hugged him exclaiming "I'm so happy you found your mate"
"Mom" shouted Harry embarrassed
"Now tell me how it happened" demanded Lily
"Alright" said Harry sighing
He explained everything that happened and at the end of it Lily said "That was so sweet of you"
Harry looked away blushing as James said "It must have been Malfoy"
"That must be why he started that fight that was in the Prophet" he said
"He did it to sneak that diary into her books" he said
"But I am more worried about what that diary really was" he said
There was a flash of light as Origin appeared. "You need not worry about that" said Origin
"I have already taken care of it" he said
"All you need to worry about is destroying him when he returns" he said
"When will that be" asked Harry
"You will know" said Origin cryptically as he disappeared
He left behind a box with a note on it saying 'These are for your mate'.
After Christmas was over Harry went back to Hogwarts.
After their daily training was over, Harry asked "How was your Christmas"
"It was fine" said Ginny
"How was yours" she asked
"It was good" said Harry
"Except my mother kept gushing about how I finally found you" he added
Ginny blushed madly at that.
"Origin dropped this off for you" said Harry taking out a box
Ginny took it and ripped it open seeing they were a pair of swords. "Wow" said Ginny
She unsheathed them and saw the swords had no guard and were shaped like a monastery window with a picture of a Valkyrie on them.
"They're beautiful" said Ginny in awe
"Put them on" said Harry
Ginny put them on her waist and saw them disappear. "Where did they go" asked Ginny
She put her hands on them and they appeared.
"They will always stay invisible until you put your hands on them" said Harry
"People won't even know that you have them" he added smiling
"Cool" said Ginny
"Thank you" she said giving Harry a hug
On the morning of Valentine's Day, Harry went into the Great Hall and saw it was covered in large pink flowers and there was pink heart shaped confetti falling from the ceiling.
"What happened to the Great Hall" asked Harry shocked
He sat down at the Gryffindor table next to Ron and Hermione and asked "What is going on"
Ron just pointed at the Head Table and Harry saw Professor Lockhart standing there in pink robes.
"Happy Valentine's Day everyone" exclaimed Lockhart
"I arranged all of this as a surprise for everyone" he said
"And this is not all" he added smiling
He clapped his hands and multiple irritated looking dwarves wearing gold wings and carrying gold harps came into the Great Hall.
"That's it" said Harry growling
He quickly left the Great Hall without anyone noticing and started chanting. "I call upon the servant of mother earth, I summon thee, come Gnome" chanted Harry
Gnome appeared in a flash of brown light and asked "What do you want"
"Look in there" said Harry pointing at the doors
Gnome took a peek inside and was outraged at what he saw.
"Who did this" asked Gnome outraged
"The guy in the pink robe" said Harry smirking
Gnome charged into the Great Hall and shouted "How dare you this"
He threw his shovel at Lockhart and knocked him out.
"Grab him" shouted Gnome pointing at Lockhart
"We shall make him pay for this transgression" he said
All the Dwarves cheered as they threw away their golden wings and harps. They all grabbed Lockhart and ran out of the Great Hall.
Professor Lockhart was never seen in Hogwarts again.
