Chapter 12-
Gilderoy Lockhart was a joke both amongst the students and staff of Hogwarts, though he didn't know that. To him his job was wonderful and the kids loved him. Walking to his office he noticed the large pile of letters on the desk. Fan mail as usual. Whilst he was opening them he felt as if someone was watching him.
Carefully getting out his wand, he waited. Then spun around and sent a curse straight at the victim.
Which turned out to be a framed picture of himself.
The curse bounced of the glass of the picture and rebounded the curse straight at him.......

HOGWARTS TEACHER TRAGICALLY INJURED
Professor Gilderoy Lockhart was taken to Saint Mungo's yesterday for treatment after he was cursed by an unknown source. Lockhart has been a major contributor to the magical community by his writings and his heroics. Healers decline comments.
"Did you read that Remus?" Sirius asked from across the table.
"Yes. I read some of Gilderoy's books. Not the most believable stuff." Remus commented as he sipped his tea.
"FUCK!" A voice exclaimed from the bathroom.
"We're going to have to work on that. He's going to get into a lot of trouble at Hogwarts" Remus remarked.
While Sirius and Remus sat at the table Bolt was smoking in the bathroom and his exclamation came when he accidentally lit a towel on fire.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck" He repeated over and over as he tried to put out the fire with the tap.
"Harry, are you alright?" Sirius called.
"Fucken peachy" Bolt retorted as he noticed the large burn mark on the white towel.
"Are you smoking again?" Sirius was against the door.
"No, what gives you that idea?" Bolt asked as he looked for a place to stash the towel.
"I thought we talked about this" Sirius groaned. "Do Blondie and Zazza keep giving you smokes?"
"I said I wouldn't smoke around you. You ain't in the bathroom at the moment" Bolt said as he threw the towel below the sink.
"When we asked you to stop smoking we meant that you wouldn't smoke at all" Sirius told him.
Bolt threw open the door. "Do you see any signs of me smoking?"
Sirius marched in. "Let's see. It smells like smoke. There are butts in the toilet and" he opened the cupboard from under the sink. "You burnt a towel"
Bolt rolled his eyes. "All that stuff about pranking and everything you'd think you'd be okay with me smoking"
Sirius stood in front of Bolt. "Whether you like it or not. I am your guardian. When you are old enough you can smoke all you want but until then you obey my rules"
"This sucks. I thought you were cool." Bolt growled.
"I am cool" Sirius told him. "I just think smoking isn't something you should be doing so young"
"Well I think you should really get a girlfriend, then you wouldn't spend all your time bugging me or do you and wolf boy have something going on?" Bolt laughed.
"I could get a girlfriend but then I couldn't spend time with you" Sirius said.
"You spend twelve years in prison. The first thing I would have done when I was freed was get a hooker and screw her til the cows come home" Bolt proclaimed.
"You wouldn't understand since you are only thirteen" Sirius pushed him out the door.
"Are you bad in bed? Or are you palms real hairy from prison?" Bolt taunted.
"Shut up" He pushed him into the kitchen.
"He was smoking again. He lit a towel on fire" Sirius threw the towel at Remus.
He sighed. "How many times have we told you not to smoke?"
Bolt rolled his eyes again and sat down.
"I think we should ban you from seeing your friends since that's where you are getting the smokes from" Remus started.
"Oh no! We had an agreement. I stay here and I get to see my friends once a week" Bolt told him.
"You stop smoking or we will do something you will regret" Sirius warned.
Bolt snickered at the threat and they ate in peace until a brown owl flew through the window and delivered a letter to Sirius and Remus.
Remus opened it and read it. He let out a gasp.
"What?" Sirius asked.
"It's from Dumbledore. He wants us to be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers!" Remus explained.
"Both of us?" Sirius queried
"Since we have to take Harry along and my condition. We share the position" Remus read.
"Wow" Sirius breathed.
"So let me get this straight" Bolt said with a mouth full of toast. "They're going to make you teachers at Hogwarts and I have to come too?"
"That's the general idea" Remus said.
"What about our agreement? Can I still see Blondie and Zazza while I'm at Hogwarts?" Bolt asked.
"Dumbledore wants us to reply straight away so he can get things sorted out" Remus read.
"What does it say about Harry?" Sirius asked, peering over Remus's shoulder.
"It says that some of the teachers have agreed to give him tutoring until next year when he will enter with the rest of the fourth years" Remus explained.
"So they are going to teach me stuff?" Bolt asked.
"Dumbledore said he will teach you some things himself but you will also be tutored by some of the other teachers" Remus said.
"Cool, so do I have to be in a dorm and all that?" Bolt knew a little about Hogwarts from Remus and Sirius's stories.
"I'm not sure. But we should reply" Remus conjured up a quill.
Bolt got up and headed towards the back door.
"Where are you going?" Sirius asked.
"Walking. Got nothing else better to do" Bolt remarked as he pushed open the door.
Bolt's real agenda was that he wanted to finish his smoke. He like having a smoke after meals. It was a habit he had gotten into. He walked along the dirt road he had walked along a few months before with the smoke hanging out his mouth.
Blowing out the smoke, he sat on the grass and put his hands behind his head. He could sit here all day. It was comfortable and peaceful. He chewed the end of his smoke and got a horrible taste in his mouth. It was another habit of his. Chewing the end of the smoke.
Looking up at the clouds he thought about hat he was going to do at Hogwarts to piss off all the people there.
Mooning he'd already done. Maybe walking around the castle and smoking. That could work. He'd also curse to annoy them as well. He could do something wild. Like pierce his ear with a skull or something.
He'd seen Blondie do it to a girl. They'd just used an ice cube and a needle. All he needed was an earring. He knew that there was a little town nearby and he'd stolen things a thousand times. He decided it then. He'd steal an earring and pierce it himself. His hair was also getting long too. Maybe he'd keep it that way.
Getting up he headed for town. Hogwarts had no idea what they were getting into.

Bolt turned up at the house an hour later with the earring hidden in his pocket. It was so easy to steal. It was what he wanted. A dangly skull.
"That was a long walk" Sirius remarked when he walked past.
"I was enjoying the fresh air" Bolt snapped back.
"I bet you were" Sirius grumbled.
Bolt had to look for a needle. He soon found one, well technically it was a nail but it would do. He asked Remus if they had ice.
"Why do you need ice?" Remus asked.
"I'm thirsty and feel like an ice water" Bolt told him coolly.
Remus didn't seem to believe him but conjured up an ice water for him.
"Thanks" Bolt said and rushed off to the bathroom.
They didn't see him for another hour. When he did come down he had a large skull dangling from his left ear.

It was a little longer. Can you all get the time frame we are around? Sirius escaped in late July/ Early September. The first eight chapters took about a month which made us around October and this one skipped ahead two months which makes us at November/December time.
