Professor Lockheart has just come back to work at Hogwarts, after his brain
surgery he seems fine, at least in Dumbledore's perspective. He now teaches
Potions- Snape has finally been moved into the Defense against the Dark
Arts position, and he is determined to make an excellent job of it.
"Here are your new timetables" Hermione said, passing them down to where Ron and Harry were seated at the en of the long house tables. "This year is going to be busy."
"What do we have first?" Ron said to Harry, stuffing sausages into his mouth as he reached for the tomato source.
Harry glanced at his timetable, and jumped up in surprise. "Potions," he exclaimed, "with Lockheart!"
Ron's reaction was similar. "Lockheart? Potions? What about Snape?" He mumbled, trying to speak through a mouthful of.you don't want to know.

As the trio trudged down to the dungeons, they spotted a pink sign that read:
PROFESSOR LOCKHEART
Winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile award seven times in a row
WILL BE PROUD TO PRESSENT A DEMONSTRATION ON POTIONS: THE REAL STORY
In the Grand Hall tonight
"Still the same old Lockheart!" Ron muttered to Harry as they walked on. Hermione, mean while had stopped and turned to stare at the figure walking down the corridor. It was Lockheart.
She was mesmerized. The smile was just as dazzling as ever before. How could she tell him how she really felt about him, not as a teacher, but as a.friend? She wasn't brave enough.
"If only." she wondered as she raced down the stairs to join Harry and Ron, who were already in the classroom.

"How did she get us to come to this again?" Harry asked Ron as they trooped into the Grand hall to watch Gilderoy's performance. "I've got no idea." Ron replied as they chose seats and waited for the show to begin.
Hermione instantly barged to the front of the crowd and chose three seats right in front of where Lockheart was to demonstrate. As he came out, Hermione cheered. He was wearing a suit of purple (looking very gay) and he carried a yellow wand. With a swish of his splendid orange cape, a cauldron appeared before him, along with a table set up with ingredients on it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I, professor Lockheart and about to construct a potion that will dazzle your senses, shock your wits and leave you amazed. Yes, I am going to be demonstrating the Excitable Potion of Excitement!
"And that is.?" Draco Malfoy said from where he sat opposite Harry.
"It is a potion that will make even the dullest person happy and excited." Lockheart then began to dump random amounts of various ingredients into the pink cauldron, whilst rambling on about his various achievements.
"Now, who would like to test this potion?" he asked, the completed vial held up in the air. Nobody moved. It looked too dangerous, even for somebody like Crabbe or Goyle. Suddenly, an uncertain hand popped up, next to Ron.
"Hermione!" Lockheart exclaimed. "Of course, I'd be honored if you'd test this potion!"
Hermione raised the vial to her mouth, her lips quivering. Then, suddenly it was gone. What will happen to Hermione? Is the potion really an Excitable one, or could it be something else? Find out in the next chapter.
Can u pleeeeeeeeeez add reviews? Thanx!
