Extracts from "My fantastic "Fairy" Tale." By Gilderoy Lockhart
I Gilderoy Lockhart, master of all things great and small, had decided that I would research Fairies as they are fascinating creatures, and thus set out on my mission to do so.
At First all was well. I had decided that my Fairy research should be done during Christmas time as this was the time that Fairy's seemed to bread out of control, and be used to decorate tree's and such. Thus I set out to Research these little winged creatures.
Fairies are incredibly vain. Though Merlin knows why?!They have no place to be, compared to my beauty, I have greater license to be vain, though I am not vain. Fairies,( as I mentioned) like Christmas time and love to be used for ornamental purposes, and with that in mind I set out after a selection of Fairies
On my perusal of the store's selection of fairies, I came to the conclusion that : in order to understand fairies I should be a Fairy. Or at least shrink myself to there size in order to understand them better. And thus I shrunk myself, and entered a flock of fairy's, the store manager as busy as he was did not take note of this and sold me along with my flock to a man with with angelic features and blond hair that might have rivaled my own. Though my hair is a much more pleasant colour.
(What really happened was that he was poking a fairy with his wand and miss fired a spell shrinking himself, and upon entering the Fairy group was duly sold to non other than Lucius Malfoy, (the store clerk did this deliberately) in order to decorate the massive tree for the great Malfoy annual Christmas Party)
Upon reaching my new home, with my fellow fairies, I was magically floated as if some decoration and placed rather precariously upon the edge of a branch. The other fairies tittering as tried to balance, upon the thin edge of the branch that was now a precipice of doom to me. I realized that I needed to climb to the very top of the tree in order to research the other fairies (and get help, though he would never admit it).
Once all quietened down I started my perilous journey to the top of the Christmas tree. Coming across many strange and colourful fairy's. Bright in colour of there wings, but not at all bright when it came to thought, and could not for the very insignificant life of theirs give me directions to the top of the tree. Many a wonderful fairy flirted with me, though I can not blame them in the least. However that waisted much of my time, as they did not understand much of what I was saying and kept trying to steel my compact mirror so that they may gaze upon their own beauty when mine should have been sufficient enough for them.
EVENTUALLY I reached the top of the Christmas tree. It had taken days, and I had lived on nothing but candy cane, popcorn cold off the string and drinking the dew from the flowers that had been used as decorations for the tree, however I made it to the top. My clothes torn and badly stained (from fighting with the fairies about who was more beautiful).Scratches along my oh so gorgeous face and body (from sleeping on fir tree bristles) and otherwise in exceptionally poor form, even having come across a Doxy who had taken a liking to my shoes.
Reaching the top of the tree I stood upon the very tip of the magically levitated star and witnessed before me a Christmas Party in which I was truly glad I was not invited to. Though the people here were dressed in the best and indeed had connections that would have benefited myself, I saw among them many an alleged Death Eater, and the Dark Lord himself among them. I pondered my escape for a long moment, then decided I should enlarge myself and sneak out while Malfoy made a party speech and entertaining the guests with what looked like someone dressed as Santa Clause.
(In other words, the spell wore off he fell backwards off of the Christmas tree while everyone was not looking at him but the poor muggle dressed as who was being tortured and he snuck out on his hands and knees, and fled for his life)
In conclusion Fairies are grossly vain creatures, with wings, and human bodies. And enjoy being used for ornamental purposes. And though I truly enjoyed my time with the wonderful creatures, I believe that they are truly happiest left to there own devices and not steeling the only manor in which I can myself.
