Chapter 6 God bless Lockhart!!!

..... Hogwarts...

...Dinner time....

Harry went to eat his dinner after he gave some sweets to Hedwig. He didn't talk with any other person he meet during his walk. His roommates came to their room earlier but didn't disturb him when they saw him sleeping.

Harry is reading the charms book while walking. He is quite aware not to bump into another person. Students and teachers going towards the dining hall gave him a curious look. He entered inside the hall and went towards the Gryffindor table while still having an eye on the book.

Draco who saw this as an opportunity. He walked a little faster and came just right side of Harry. He put his leg in front of to make him fall.

Harry saw this from the corner of his eyes. His leg went little higher than usual and he put his foot on his foot with more strength. Before Draco can react Harry is already few meters away.

"Arggghhhhh, Potter you broke my foot," Draco said to Harry. Crabbe and goyle supported him. He wanted to do something but Harry was in the Gryffindor table by the time.

Serverus snape who was coming from the same direction saw his student Draco is in pain.

"Mr. Malfoy are you okay? What happened here?" Snape asked the Slytherin trio. Still no emotion is reflected in his voice and face.

"Draco is injured by Harry Potter. You should take action against him Prof. Snape," Crabbe said to Snape. All the students passing by heard their conversation.

"Potter.... injured me pretty.... badly Prof.Snape. You.... should take..... some action against him," Draco said painfully to Snape. He will not allow Harry to step on him so easily.

Prof.Snape walked towards the Gryffindor table. Harry is still reading his book.

"Mr. Harry Potter, minus 10 points from Gryffindor for injuring a fellow student," Snape said to Harry. But Harry eyes were still on the book as if he didn't listen to Snape. All the Gryffindor students were looking at Harry as if he has gone mad for not reacting to Snape's point deduction.

"Mr. Potter another 5 point for not listening to my instructions," Snape said to Harry after he didn't get any reaction. All the students around him thought that Harry is gone deaf.

"Mr. Potter," Snape said again with his hand slapping the Gryffindor table. Harry looked at him for three seconds.

"Are you taking to me?" Harry said to Snape. All the students looked at him as if he is cracking a joke.

"Yes, Mr. Potter. Can you care to explain why you broke the foot of Mr. Malfoy?" Snape asked him with a twitching right eye. He just want to go and enjoy his food.

"I didn't meet him today," Harry gave him a short answer. He put his book down and started to eat. As if nothing matters.

"You are.....lying Potter. you... broke my...foot," Draco said loudly to Potter. He is walking with the support of Crabbe and goyle.

"Hello little Malfoy, nice to meet you. How is your father? Is he doing well? Please don't stalk me all the time otherwise people will think you are in love with me," Harry said to Draco with a smile. Even Snape cannot handle the sweet words of Potter.

"Potter," Draco said angrily.

"You should go to infirmary, Malfoy. It is bad manners to disturb others when they are eating. Prof. Snape please help little Malfoy to infirmary," Harry said to Draco and Snape. Snape saw no point in arguing with Harry at this time.

"Mr. Crabbe and Mr. goyle please escort Mr. Malfoy to the infirmary," Snape said to his students. He has no time to babysit small children's. And Snape walked back to the staff dinning table.

" Potter, I will see you later. And my daddy will definitely hear about it and take action against you," Draco said to Harry with an angry expression.

" Draco I told you I am not interested in seeing you later. You should definitely tell your daddy about your issues," Harry said to Draco. Little Malfoy cannot handle any more comment from Harry so he walked away with the help of Crabbe and goyle.

Harry started to eat his food. Ron, Neville, Seamus and Dean came to hall together.

"Hey mate, how are you ?" Ronald weasely asked Harry.

"Everything is fine. No need to get worried," Harry said to Ronald. He then looked back to his plate and again he started to eat.

All his roommates sat with him. They all started to eat but the environment between them is full of curiosity and nervousness.

"Harry, how was it like to be in Azkaban. Is it really scary?" Neville asked Harry. No doubt everyone wants to ask him about the same thing.

"It is a cold place for a castle. If dementors the soul sucking parasite will leave you alone then you can enjoy it. But the other prisoners will always interrupt your sleep with their shouting. They bang their head on their cells to keep themselves alive or any feeling they have. I was too short for the prisoner so the dementors couldn't see me. They love to torture the tall humans," Harry said to them. Nearby students were listening to their conversation with his friends. They gulped after hearing about the torture.

"How are you alive mate? I heard people can become insane in Azkaban" Ronald asked his friend. He wants to make sure his friend is not insane after spending half a month in that cursed prison.

"Ron, can you please not talk about Azkaban in dining hall. And welcome back harry," Percy Weasley said to ronald and Harry. He is a prefect and his job is to maintain the order among fellow students.

"Thanks Percy. Where is Fred and George? I haven't seen both of them," Harry asked percy. He has not seen the talented twins of Weasley family.

"I don't know about them. Last time they were serving detention under Argus Filch. But after that they have never get caught," Percy said to Harry. At least he is not worried about his twin brothers if they don't get caught while playing a prank on others.

'Looks like they are exploring castle with Marauder's map. They might be busy remembering the castle shortcuts,' Harry thought in his mind.

"All of you should finish your dinner. And I don't want any of you outside the Gryffindor room after the curfew especially you Ron," Percy said to them. And went back to his seat to finish his dinner.

Harry finished his dinner and took his charms book and started to read. He walked away like that towards the Gryffindor common room.

"Don't you think Harry become a little different. He would have never read the book while walking like that," Ron said to his other roommates. They gave a nod to him as an agreement.

"Harry is sure different after he came back from Azkaban. He used to have fun with us but look at him now he is giving some mysterious vibe even while reading a book," Dean said to his friends.

"I find it cool, reading a book while walking like that without bumping into another person," Neville said to others. He will definitely try that.

After they finished there dinner they walked back to the Gryffindor dormitory. They also heard rumors of Harry breaking foot of Draco and how he irritated Snape before they came to dinning hall.

....Gryffindor common room....

Harry is sitting alone while reading books. People are still maintaining a distance with him due to his recent status as the Heir of Slytherin and a recent prisoner of Azkaban. They can see the changed Harry Potter after he came back from Azkaban.

' I can read and understand the books without any problem. Because I have knowledge of both ainz's and orochimaru combined together in my brain,' Harry is thinking about his brain capacity.

Fred and George came to common room. They saw Harry and went to talk with him.

" Hai Harry," Both of the said together. Harry looked up from his book saw the twins are standing in front of me.

" Hello Fred and george. I haven't seen both of you in Dinning hall. Maybe you found the kitchen of Hogwarts. If I am not mistaken," Harry said to both of them. Both twins looked at each other.

"Woww Harry, You have become smarter than the last time....."

"....we met you. How did you figured it out?" Both twins said simultaneously. It is too difficult to differentiate between Fred and George.

" There is only one place in Hogwarts where you can eat when you are not in dinning hall. It is the kitchen of Hogwarts. Not so difficult if someone use their brain," Harry said to them. But in reality he only bluffed about the kitchen of Hogwarts.

"Don't tell me it is a bluff and we got caught," Both twins said together.

"Whether it is a bluff or not but both of you confirmed it," Harry said to twins .

"Don't tell others. We don't want that place to be crowded," Fred said to Harry. Both recently discovered it and they wanted to keep it a secret.

"Why would I tell them? It should be a nice place to eat alone," Harry said to twins. They are talking in a low pitch voice so no one can hear about their secret.

"It is a nice place. And we can order whatever we want," George said to Harry.

Harry took out 10 galleons and put it on the table. Both twins looked at each other and then at Harry.

" What do you want from us?" Fred asked Harry. In response the little boy smiled at both of them.

" Both of you are smart, You can take it as an advance payment. But you have to prank a teacher for it," Harry said to twins. Both looked at each other like Harry is challenging them to prank someone.

"Is it professor Snape..." Fred said

"Or Prof. McGonagall...." George said

"Maybe Dumbledore but we don't back down from any challenge," Both twins said together to Harry. They like to play with dangers.

"I will not send you to lion's jaw so early. That's the thing I like about both of you. But for this time you have to prank Prof. Gilderoy Lockhart. That fraud vanished my bones the last time. I want his fake smile to be coloured like clown for days. His golden hair should look likes Snape hair. If you don't get caught I can give you extra 20 galleons as a prize money," Harry said to twins. After hearing the details Fred and george took the galleons and put it in their pocket.

" Agreed," Both of them said together.

" Anyway I don't like the self praising Lockhart...." Fred said

" Especially when all the girls think he is cool," George said this time.

" You will get the news in few days," Both of them said and walked away. Now they got a new challenge and they have to prepare a nice gift for Lockhart.

'Maybe I overdid it. God bless Lockhart. Only God can save him from Fred and george,' Harry thought in his mind.

Harry went back to study his book.
