Geeseflysouthforthewinter-yes, I realize I made that "JOE" booboo. I watch the movie and look at the script while writing this and it's funny how easily I get caught up in the moment of the story. I concede. Thanks for reading!

*~*Chapter 15: Gilderoy Lockhart is such a babe!*~*

Draco smirked his trademark smirk as he pushed Warren against the wall. " Say Bobotubber pus!" Draco took the picture while Warren flicked off the camera.

"That was fabulous Warren. Thank you."

Draco grabbed the collar of Warren's shirt and brought him to the couch. "Sit."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Beyond the backroom, legions of Gilderoy Lockhart's fans were swarming the inside of Empress records. Witches (and some Wizards *wink!*) of all ages were lined up just to see the Wizarding World's hottest artist.

Gilderoy stepped out of the red curtain that was charmed in front of the back room door. He stepped onto the small dais that was constructed and, with his hands on his hips, flashed a smile that caused several women in the audience to faint. Minerva was behind him and when she saw the smile, she saw that he looked extremely agitated.

" Just smile Gil."

Gilderoy shifted his pose and looked at the furniture on the dais. " I don't like the chair."

Minerva was sick and tired of his diva behavior. She wanted to just transfigure him into a ball of lint, and then feed him to Hermione's cat.

Between clenched teeth she spoke in a slow, harsh voice. "What do you mean, you don't like the chair?"

"I don't like the chair."

"What's wrong with the chair? Just sit in the chair."

"I don't want to sit!"

"Are you just going to stand there?!"

Snape witnessed the whole spat between Lockhart and Minerva. He looked around him and sat an empty box. He quirkly transfigured it into a plush velvet chair to match the robes that Lockhart wore. He brought the chair up to the dais and placed it in front of the irritated popstar.

"Here you go, Mr. Lockhart."

"Thank you Several."

Snape held back the urge to curse Lockhart back into the Chamber of Secrets. He just smiled the most syrupy sweet smile he could muster.

Minerva sensed Snape's anger. "Thank you."

Severus just nodded and stepped down from the dais. Gilderoy swept his cloak over the chair and sat down. Without even turning around, he motioned to Minerva to get him a quill. Minerva got one out of her bag and threw it on the table with a huff.

Gilderoy ignored the murmured curses behind him and motioned for the first fan to come forward.

"Hi."

"Hey," said Lockhart, who's voice was suddenly silky smooth. "What's your name?"

The fan put her discs in front of Lockhart who was posed to sign them.

"Angelica. A-N-G-E-L-I-C-A."

"Ok." Gilderoy began to scribble on the items that Angelica had set before him.

"You know, I have seen every episode of 'The Wizard Way' on the WIZ-SPAN."

"Oh yeah?"

"And you were my favorite singer when I was at Hogwarts!"

Gilderoy stopped scribbling and looked at the girl. "And who's your favorite singer now?"

Angelica quickly grabbed her items off the desk. "You- - it's still you." The poor girl rushed out of Empress, devasteated that she had upset her favorite artist.

"bye!" yelled Lockhart in a mocking voice. 'good riddance,' he thought.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Minerva had gotten tired of Lockhart ordering her around. She stepped off the dais and went back to the back room where there seemed to be an intense discussion among her former students, and one child she did not recognize.

"There are so many babes out there. I gotta get Gilderoy some water," said Ron. He winked at Minerva, then smiled at Harry who knew exactly why he was running out to catch some of the spotlight. "I bet Gilderoy is very very thirsty.."

Minerva stepped into the light and sat down in the chair Ron had vacated. "Make sure it's Gillywater."

"Hey Ron." Harry sat up from his perma-slouch position on the couch.

"Yeah?"

"Who's your favorite singer?"

"Hmm....that wanna-be-muggle Axl."

"Well, if Axl Rose was flying around Hogsmeade and saw Gilderoy Lockhart stranded in a tree, you think Axl would stop and help him?"

"Does Axl have his wand?"

At this point, Warren jumped up and started jumping around the room. "No way man! Axl would spin around in his broom, take aim, zoom down, and take that sucker out!"

"Warren, warren! Where do you get this hostility from?" Harry gripped Warren's shoulders and sat him back down.
