Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter.

Authors note: funny things have been happening, the potions master has gone missing, students are hearing strange voices in their heads, and You-Know- Who is back (someone far scarier than Voldemort.)

"It's PINK!!!!" exclaimed Adam, staring around in horror. The walls of the dungeon were pink, so was the floor, desks, stools and cauldrons.

"That's right my proper little students," giggled a middle aged man, with long wavy blonde hair and perfect complexion.

"Are we in the right room?" demanded Francis Leven, a Slytherin girl..

"Indeed you are in the right room little lady," said the blonde man "and I am Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, your new potions master." Lockhart must have mistaken the students look of horror for something else because he continued.

"You have heard of Magical Me I trust?" he said, grinning around at them.

"Oh yes, we've heard of you," said both Jack and Adam, winking at each other. They had heard of this strange man from their fathers, he had been the DADA teacher when they were in their 2nd year. Lockhart smiled around the class again, and then his eyes settled on Celestrial. A black mark in the pink room. Jack looked at her, the girl looked positively i'll, then again the pink was a bit overpowering.

"Well who do we have here?" asked Lockhart, walking over to where Celestrial was sitting. At a bench that she had magicked black.

"My name is Celestrial Smith," she said, her voice like soft black velvet. Lockhart flinched at the sound of her voice, and then again at her cold steely gaze.

"Oh, oh ok," said Lockhart, slowly backing up "it's just that you look like somebody I knew a long time ago." Celestrial raised one fine eyebrow and looked down her long nose at the man.

"Can we please start the lesson?" asked Thomas, he didn't like that look in Celestrial's eyes anymore than Lockhart did.

"Yes, yes of course," said the man, turning back to the rest of the class and giving them a beaming smile.



The rest of the lesson went by with very little incident, except that Celestrial had finished her potion within the first ten minutes [show off, muttered Thomas] and then proceded to turn her corner of the dungeons into a damp, dark and dreary place that Lockhart refused to go into. It was when Lockhart dismissed them that the four boys came together to discuss the lesson.

"I can't believe that Dumbledore employed him again!" exclaimed Dennis "dad told me all about the muck-ups he did in DADA."

"And the Duelling club," laughed Jack "when Snape blew five feet off of the ground." They all went silent then, Severus Snape had been missing for 10 years now, after he went on a mission for Dumbledore.

"Anyway, did you see how Lockhart reacted to Celestrial," said Adam "he recognized her."

"Yeah, and he seemed scared to," said Thomas "I wonder who she reminds him of?" they all shrugged at that and continued on to their next class.



Meanwhile Lockhart stood in the dungeons, staring at the corner where Celestrial had sat.

"She's come back," he whispered "he's come back."

"No he hasn't come back Gilderoy," said Dumbledore from behind him "but I have a feeling she will do that job for us."
