This book is the property of the fabulous, magnificent and beautiful saviour of the magical world Gilderoy Lockhart.

It is to be viewed by his eyes only (and what beautiful eyes they are).

Dear Diary,

This being my first ever entry, I shall make no hesitation and introduce myself to you.

I am Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin; Third Class, honorary member of the Dark Force Defence League and five times winner of Witch Weekly's 'Most Charming Smile' award. I have a full head of magnificently wavy blond hair and gorgeous forget-me-not blue eyes. But I don't like to brag about my handsome looks or my many fascinating accomplishments. No, that's not me, though I did write several books about my daring and heroic feats. My most recent is my autobiography titled 'Magical Me'.

Anyway, I believe a report on today's events is in order.

I was at Flourish and Blotts this afternoon, signing copies of my autobiography 'Magical Me' for my dedicated fans. Hundreds, no, thousands of magical folk came flocking to me begging me to sign their books. So me being, well me, happily obliged. And as I'm signing the books, who should I see in the crowd but the one and only saviour of the magical world, the Boy Who Lived himself, Harry Potter!! I was honoured to have him at my book signing, if I'd known he was a fan I would've gone round to his house and personally signed his books. Famous people shouldn't have to wait in lines! So, staying true to my previous statement, I pulled him to the front. His face was filled with pure joy as he came running through the parted crowd. I was so over-joyed at his excitement that when he joined me I accidentally let slip that I would be teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. I'm positive I saw Harry's face turn even happier. And why wouldn't it? I mean I am teaching at Hogwarts. Harry and I posed for the Daily Prophet, he was so shocked that he forgot to smile. Perhaps whilst I am at Hogwarts I'll teach Harry a thing or two about being famous, like how to act and whatnot. I could mould him in my image, and what a fine image it is.

I'd best be off, I'm sure I can hear a child calling for help in Scotland.

Love,

Gilderoy Lockhart
Order of Merlin Third Class
