D.A.D.A with Kingsley Shacklebolt** [8]

[Antoinette Walker]

*Huffs, tilting her head in the same way Lockhart had, folding her hands ontop of the originally required textbook.*

Again sir, I apologize, but that book is not on the required list! If it was, believe me, I'd have it here in my bag!

*Blinks, not correcting his comment on her reading the book. Honestly, before today, she'd only heard of it once or twice.*

[Gilderoy Lockhart]

*His confusion begins to grow.*

There is something very odd going on here.

Are you telling me that you did not recieve my list of required texts for the year?

[Antoinette Walker]

*Barely restrains herself from rolling her eyes.*

No, I didn't-

*Squeezes her hands together, suddenly clearing her throat as she changes what she was about to say to the wizard*

-recieve your list. I was unaware that it was any different than the one the school had sent earlier.

[Gilderoy Lockhart]

*He strokes his hair and looks puzzled.*

The school sent two lists? How peculiar. I wonder why.

This is all very perplexing.

[Antoinette Walker]

*Groans, wishing her first class of the day would be the strangest of them all- and that the rest of them would be somewhat normal. She hopes the other Professors would at least know which subject they taught...*

The school only sends one list, Professor. I'm not sure what you're talking about-

*Inhales, shrugging*

-and I'm positive that Headmaster Snape announced that Professor Kingsley would be covering DADA...I don't remember your name being called.

[Gilderoy Lockhart]

*He struggles to get his words out.*

Headmaster Sna... Professor Kingsle.. textboo...

*He shakes his head.*

What on earth are you talking about girl? Has someone hexed your mind?

[Antoinette Walker]

Excuse you?

*Reaches her last nerve with his comment. She stands up and storms over to where Lockhart's standing, stopping about three feet infront of him.*

I do believe that you[/b]

*Points harshly at the wizard*

-have no idea what you're talking about.

*Narrows her eyes*

The Headmaster's name is Severus Snape, has been for more than a year; 'Wandering with Werewolves' was not on the list of required school supplies, and I'm sure it never has been.

You also have no right suggesting that my mind is hexed when you're mad yourself, Mr. Lockhart! That was very rude and uncalled for-

*Places both hands on her hips*

-and most definately not how a "Professor"-

*Drawls*

-should speak to their students.

[Gilderoy Lockhart]

*He remains silent for a moment, then chuckles as the smile returns to his lips.*

*He had best not upset this mentally unstable child in case any one gets hurt.*

Now now Miss. No offence was meant by it.

Take your seat with the others and we shall continue class as normal.

*He gestures to the other wizard.*

Mr Kingsley, shall we begin?

[Antoinette Walker]

*Blinks*

If no offense was meant, you probably shouldn't have said it then.

*Glances between Professors Kingsley and Lockhart, still standing*

I'm not going anywhere until I know who's the Professor and who's-

_{lost his mind}

-not.

[Kingsley Shacklebolt]

*Kingsley kept listening to see where was that conversation going. Apparently nowhere*

Very well, I will explain.

*Clears his throat and says with a strong voice*

I am this year's D.A.D.A professor, announced by Headmaster Snape himself...

*Glances at the wizard. Confusion was written all over him. Looks at the young student*

I believe professor Lockhart was somehow hexed and now he seems to be confused.

*Turns again to the professor*

I'm really sorry to tell you this, but... Dumbledore is in fact dead and Severus Snape became our Headmaster a couple of years ago. Perhaps you were hit by a badly performed obliviation spell?

*Looks at him straight in the eyes, placing his hand on his shoulder*

I guess the best place for you right now would be St. Mungus...

[Gilderoy Lockhart]

*He is in utter disbelief.*

What are you talking about?

Years? I...

*He shakes his head again and puts his finger to his temple.*

Surely I'd have heard if someone like Dumbledore had died.

[Antoinette Walker]

*Bites her lip, the situation finally catching up with her as she realizes she's been a bit harsher than called for. Antoinette slowly takes a few steps back, turning silently to walk back to her desk.*

_{Obliveration...That would explain how he doesn't know Dumbledore's dead, but who would've done it? And why?}

[Kingsley Shacklebolt]

If a obliviation is wrongly performed, some times it could induce to memory loss...

*Kingsley starts to remember a story about a professor stricken by his own Obliviation spell. Perhaps this man was him*

I believe that it is your case.

[Gilderoy Lockhart]

*He ponders for a while*

*Indeed he is a master of obliviation, but could it be true? Did he, the great Gilderoy Lockhart, hero of the wizarding world, wipe his own memory?*

*No... preposterous. Not a chance at all that was true. He is surely too much of a master to make that mistake!*

I should like to speak to Dumbledore.

[Kingsley Shacklebolt]

You can always knock on the Headmasters's office. I'm sure you will be enlightened by the Headmaster himself.

*Kingsley smiles, yet cautious. He did'nt want to desturbe the man even more then he already was*
