Chapter 4
Andromeda and Minerva sat in the Three Broomsticks over bottles of butterbeer talking about their classes. "Minerva," Andromeda said, nervously, "I think Prof. Snape might. um, fancy me." Minerva choked on her butterbeer. "What?" "Really." Andromeda replied. "He's always staring at me, and just this morning he said I was likeable." Minerva gave her a strange look. "Well," she said. "It could e a bit flattering being the only woman he has ever taken interest to. and he's not all that bad, is he?" Andromeda tried to reply, but she heard a horrible noise come from behind her. It was Gilderoy Lockhart.
"Hello, Minerva!" he said, striding over and sitting at their table. "Hello, Gilderoy." Minerva replied reluctantly. "And who is this?" Gilderoy asked, turning to Andromeda. "This is Andromeda. The new DADA teacher." Minerva said. "Andromeda, this is Gilderoy, the Runes professor." Andromeda knew who he was, but didn't care. She couldn't stand the man. "Enchanted." Gilderoy said, taking Andromeda's hand and kissing it. Andromeda shuttered. She suddenly had the need to take a series of baths. She quickly took back her hand, and tried to clean her hands with her napkin under the table without anyone noticing. "Well," Gilderoy said, "I really have to go. Fans, you know." He got up. "I hope I see you again soon." He added to Andromeda, who wished she wasn't there. And then he left. "And that," Minerva said, "Is Gilderoy for you." Andromeda rolled her eyes. "I've met him before." She said. "Obviously the encounter wasn't important enough to remember." Minerva smiled and nodded. "You don't like him, do you?" she asked. Andromeda looked for a delicate way to put it. "Well," she said, "Let's just say that if he died, and don't think I'd care."
