Chapter 13 -

"Loki!" Harry called as he walked down the hallways, looking for Loki. He was sure that the mischievious monkey was here somewhere, Harry did not know what happened but Loki had gone off like usual except he had not come back like usual.

"Oh, where is he?" Lisa asked in a worried voice as she followed alongside him.

"I can feel him, he is somewhere around here." Harry said as he contuinued walking up the hallway. "I swear if someone has taken Loki then I will shank them with...something...I am too worried to be creative! Loki!" Harry said just as they arrived outside the defence classroom only to hear the sound of schreeching.

"Ow!" They heard a voice that sounded like Professor Lockhart. Harry's eyes widened and he opened the door and quickly rushed in to find Loki struggling in Lockhart's hands, Loki was dressed in clothes that looked a lot like Lockhart's horrible robes. "Just...just stay still, I just need to put a hat on!" Lockhart said only for Loki to bite down on his hand. "Ow!"

"Hey!" Harry shouted as he stormed forward, Lockhart jumped and saw Harry. Loki took the oppurtunity to jump out of Lockhart's hands and into Harry's arm. "Loki, are you alright?" Harry asked in a soft tone, Loki growled and jumped off of Harry's arms and onto a desk before he began trying to rip off the clothes he was wearing as fast as he could.

"Hey!" Lockhart complained.

"What the hell were you doing with Loki?!" Harry demanded.

"I...I found him and I thought he would look cute if I dresed him up but he apparently didn't like that, I don't know why you are complaining, I am more hurt than him." Lockhart said sourly. Harry glared at Lockhart before kicking him hard in the shin. "Ow!" Lockhart yelped out as he began hopping on one foot.

"Come on Loki." Harry said right before picking up Loki who was now happily wearing nothing but his Ravenclaw shirt. Harry, Loki and Lisa walked out of the room and began walking away.

"Are you okay Loki?" Lisa asked in a soft voice, Loki shook his head and burried his face into Harry's chest.

"Where are the twins?" Harry asked, his voice was a level of calm that did not match his face. Lisa who had never seen Harry angry could not help but gulp.

"Um...I don't know, maybe we can go and find them?" Lisa suggested in a quiet voice.

"Find them, right." Harry nodded before he walked at a faster pace with Lisa struggling to keep up with them.

"Oi, you two." Harry said when he and Lisa found the twins sitting at the Gryffindor table with the three Gryffindor chasers. "I need to talk to you two in private." Harry said as Loki shifted so he was now on Harry's shoulder.

"Oh hi." Fred said.

"Can it wait?" George asked.

"Let's put it this way, you either come with me now or I drag you with me by your ears." Harry replied in a no nonsense tone.

"Now that would be funny, really funny, but I..." Fred was cut off as Harry grabbed him by the ear. "Ow!"

"Come on." Harry said as he pulled Fred out of his seat and began walking him out of the hall.

"I think I am supposed to drag you out if you don't come and I really don't want to do that so...do you mind?" Lisa said to George.

"Fine, if only to protect my ears." George said as he stood up and followed Lisa, Harry and Fred out of the hall. The three Gryffindor chasers looked at each other, unsure how they were supposed to react to what had just happened. Eventually they settled on pretending it did not happen and just continued eating their food.

"Alright what do you want?" Fred asked as he rubbed his ear, Harry was surprisingly strong.

"Lockhart messed with Loki," Harry said. "and I want payback."

"Oh?" Geroge said. "What did he do?" George asked as he looked between

"Tried to dress him up in ridiculous clothes." Harry growled, Fred and George looked confused but did not get to ask anymore as Harry continued talking. "I want him to pay, now as far as I am aware stabbing him would be illegal..."

"Yes, no stabbing." Lisa said, not sure how serious Harry was being.

"Spoilsport." Harry pouted. "Not even a little?"

"No stabbing." Lisa repeated.

"Damn, anyway," Harry said as he turned back to the twins. "I want to prank the hell out of Lockhart."

"Oh, so you are taking us up on our offer?" George asked.

"Yep, according to the Hogwarts rumor mill you two are apparently good at pranking."

"Not just good." Fred snorted.

"We are the best." George said proudly.

"Indeed brother," Fred nodded. "me and my less handsome twin over here are the best pranksters here in Hogwarts history since the time of the marauders."

"Who?" Lisa asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Not important," Harry waved her off. "no what is important is we make Lockhart suffer, I want the rest of this year to be hell for him."

"Are you sure?" Fred asked.

"Yeah I mean we know that Lockhart is a git." George added.

"A super git."

"An annoying super git."

"But he is also a teacher."

"And while we do not mind pranking teachers."

"Especially Snape."

"Yes brother, especially Snape, but are you two first years sure that you want to start pranking against a teacher?"

"Listen up tweedlee dee and dum," Harry interrupted before the two could continue with the frankly tiring twin talk. "you do not speak to me like I am an ametaur in tricking people. I mean I named my monkey after the norse god of mischief for Merlin sakes."

"What about her?" Fred asked as he pointed to Lisa.

"She is Loki's apprentice." Harry said before Lisa could respond. "And Loki is my apprentice, so she's my grand apprentice."

"I suppose that makes sense." George shrugged.

"Good, she will be happy to help us with our pranks." Harry said.

"Hold up a second," Lisa frowned. "when did I agree to this?"

"When you didn't refuse." Harry replied without missing a beat. "Besides it's for a good cause."

"Yeah but Harry I..." Lisa was cut off as Harry picked Loki up and held him so his face was right in front of hers.

"Look at this face," Harry said as Loki began giving Lisa puppy eyes. "look at it. We are doing it for this, are you saying you don't want to avenge him?" Harry asked. Lisa and Loki looked at each other for several moments, the twins watched as any and all resistance in the girl slowly crumbled away.

"Oh fine," Lisa sighed. "but if we get in trouble then I am blaming you Harry." She added.

"Fair enough," Harry shrugged as he put Loki on his shoulders. "if things go wrong then I will just blame Snape."

"Why Snape?"

"Because if he wants to blame me for everything then I can do the same to him." Harry said with Loki nodding in agreement.

"Fair enough." The twins said at the same time.

Lockhart sighed as he prepared himself to enter his defence class to teach the third year class, he realised that he might have made things hard for him in regards to Harry Potter. He didn't mean to make the boy angry and in his opinion the boy had very much overreacted. Lockhart had found the boy's monkey wondering around and he had realised how much his books would sell more if he had a unique animal sidekick. He could not have an owl or a cat, they were so common, as for toads...no way in hell was Lockhart willing to be have something as ugly as a toad be his animal sidekick.

Lockhart had only tried to dress the monkey up like him to see how he would look, he did not think the monkey or Harry Potter would be upset about it. He was not even sure why, if he was Harry then he would be honoured if the great Gilderoy Lockhart tried to model his pet after him.

"Ah well, a problem for a later time." Lockhart said to himself before he walked into his classroom. "Good afternoon everyone!" Lockhart smiled at everyone.

He did not expect much of a reaction from the boys, after all they were clearly jealous of his fame and all the attention he received from girls, he expected a nice reaction from the girls however as he was the great Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League, and five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award, how could they not be pleased to see him?

He was however a bit surprised when all the boys in his class either raised an eyebrow, looked confused or look like they were not sure if they should laugh. The girls surprised him as a few of them had the exact same reactions along with a few horrified looking ones.

"What? What's wrong?" He asked as he arrived at the front. "Is there something on my face?" He joked, the only reason he didn't laugh was due to partial worry about there actually being something on his face.

"Sir..." One girl said. "...your hair." She said as she pointed to his hair. Lockhart paled and quickly turned to the nearest mirror. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped when he saw his lovely blonde hair replaced with spiky purple hair.

The following scream would be heard across most of the castle.

"Are you okay Harry?" Lisa asked as they sat in the common room together, she was getting a bit worried about Harry as he seemed to be reading a Lockhart book with an uncommon amount of focus.

"Why do you ask?" Harry asked without looking up from his book, Loki who was sat on the table gave Lisa a questioning look.

"Because you're acting a bit...I don't know...fishy?" She said, wondering if that was the right word to describe Harry's behaviour.

"Fine I am acting fishy, so sushi." Harry replied as he turned a page.

"You mean 'sue me'?" Lisa asked.

"I meant what I said." Harry replied as his eyes narrowed.

"Harry, what is this obsession with Lockhart?" Lisa sighed. "I know he scared Loki but..."

"It is not just that," Harry said as he looked up at her. "it's hard to explain."

"Well you can tell me if you want, what is it?"

"Okay, well it's a couple of things. First of all Loki is my best and first friend, we've been together for ages." Harry said as he placed a hand on Loki and petted him. "I do not like the idea of anyone messing with him."

"I understand that I suppose," Lisa said as she reached her hand out and also petted Loki. "he's my friend too."

"We know." Harry smiled at her along with Loki. "but it's not just that."

"Well, what is it?" Lisa asked patiently.

"Lockhart, he reminded me of this one person." Harry replied honestly. "When me and Loki lived on the streets there was this one guy in the local area, absolute rich prat, spoilt daddy's boy as well. He always kept trying to find me, think Malfoy but muggle. Always showing off, he would always try and make me feel jealous because he was richer than me, didn't really work because I was smart enough to realise that most birds were richer than me at the time. Anyway this one time he tried to show off and I just ignored him, he saw Loki and tried to take him, Loki managed to hit him in the eye." Harry said as picked up Loki and placed him on his shoulder, Loki rested his head on top of Harry's. "He called animal control and they took Loki away," Harry admitted. "I snuck in at night and rescued him, then I ran away and moved to a different part of the country so they couldn't find us. When Lockhart took Loki he just brought up those bed memories."

"Oh Harry," Lisa sighed and wrapped her arms around Harry as she hugged him. "I am so sorry."

"It's fine," Harry waved her off. "it's behind us now," He added once Lisa let go. "I'm right, aren't I Loki?" He asked Loki who grinned and nodded.

"I think that all the pranks that Lockhart has suffered have probably been therapeutic for you," Lisa commented with a small grin. "are you going to stop them?"

"Just until Lockhart is arrested." Harry nodded.

"Okay well...wait what?!" Lisa blurted out, not sure if she heard that right.

"Oh he's a fraud, I could see that from just the first meeting." Harry replied. "But a few weeks ago he mentioned how he stopped this Yeti in Canada, the thing is...he didn't. I was there at the time and I knew the person who did stop the Yeti."

"Wait, what were you doing in Canada?" Lisa asked.

"Don't ask," Harry said quickly with Loki nodding in agreement. "anyway I had met the person who actually stopped the Yeti and I saw them stop it, I visited a couple of days later but the guy did not remember me."

"What do you mean?" Lisa asked. "How does he not remember you?"

"Well I have a few theories, number one is I did not make a good enough impression on him." Harry replied. "Now seeing as I had accidently ruined his hair while Loki stole his fruit and we spent a good amount of time talking together I do not believe that I had not made a sufficient impression. Now theory the second, he was hit really hard on the head and forgot, which I doubt seeing as the guy was pretty thick headed, I saw him headbutt a wall and the wall was damaged, I mean so was he but so was the wall. My third theory is that he lost his memory."

"You mean he was obliviated?" Lisa gasped.

"Maybe, maybe not, but I do think something happened to him. I mean the guy was a really tough guy, he wouldn't let a cissy like Lockhart take credit for something he did. Yes!" Harry cried as he looked back at the book, "I found it, the story is exactly the same except for the part where the Yeti sneezed on him." Harry said as he ripped the pages out. "Now I am going to go send this and a letter to the...DMLE I think the name is." Harry said as he stood up. "I miss America where I would just say 'cops'." Harry added.

"So," Lisa said as she and Harry rode back on the train at the end of the year. "this has been a rather busy year. Duelling, extra lessons, you won the quidditch school cup and you ended up getting Lockhart arrested. Do you have anything planned for next year?" She joked, only half serious.

"Ask no questions and I will tell no lies." Harry smirked.

"Fine," Lisa snorted. "just give me a heads up first before you do anything crazy."

"You do realise that I would probably have to give you a notification pretty much every single hour of my life then?" Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Fine," Lisa sighed. "when you do something super crazy."

"That I can do."
