It might be a magical creature that has been corrupted by dark magic. For example, a hippogriff that has been turned evil. It attacks Harry when he's out exploring. Lockhart, who has some knowledge of magical creatures, tries to calm it down at first but when that fails, he has to use more forceful magic to save Harry from the enraged hippogriff.
In such a fanfiction, perhaps Lockhart manages to overcome his usual self - centeredness. He could use his knowledge of various spells, which he often brags about but fails to execute properly in the original books. Maybe he finally remembers the correct incantation at a crucial moment to save Harry from a dark wizard or a dangerous magical creature. For example, if Harry is being attacked by a basilisk, Lockhart might remember the spell to stun it and save Harry just in time.
First, understand Lockhart's character. He is vain and a bit of a fraud in the original books, so you can either start with that and develop him from there, or create an alternate version where he has different motives from the start. For example, you could give him a tragic backstory that explains his need for fame.
In many Harry Potter fanfictions about Gilderoy Lockhart and with a 'lemon' aspect, he could be seen as trying to steal the spotlight even in romantic or more adult - themed situations. Since he's so full of himself in the original books, fanfic authors might play on that. For example, he might be using his false tales of heroism to impress a love interest in a rather over - the - top and humorous way, while at the same time, the 'lemon' elements add a different layer to the story.
A very engaging Gilderoy Lockhart fanfiction is 'Behind Lockhart's Smile'. It focuses on his time at Hogwarts as a teacher from a different perspective. We get to see how the students really view him and how he tries to maintain his false image. There are also some interesting interactions between him and other characters like Hermione, who is always quick to see through false bravado.
Another great one is a fanfiction where Lockhart and Harry team up to write a book together. It's a humorous take on their relationship as Lockhart tries to teach Harry his writing style while Harry tries to keep Lockhart in check. The story has a lot of fun banter between the two characters.
There is no truth to it at all. The 'Harry Potter' world created by Rowling is mainly about magic, friendship, and the fight against evil. Fanfiction sometimes goes off on wild tangents, but this is an extremely inappropriate and baseless idea. Lockhart in the official story is a self - absorbed but not a sexually abusive character, and these fanfiction ideas are a distortion of the original concept.
No. Rape is a very serious and disturbing topic. In the context of fanfiction, it goes against the positive and magical spirit of the Harry Potter series. Fanfiction should generally be about exploring positive aspects of the story, characters' growth, or alternative but non - offensive storylines.
There's also 'Lockhart's Lost Lessons'. This fanfic imagines what would have happened if Lockhart had actually been a competent teacher and had real magical knowledge to pass on. It's an interesting take on his character and how he could have influenced the students at Hogwarts.
