have a very little gilderoy lockhart

[gildylocks]

Dearest Mun,

Do you think all those people out there will understand that I'm meant to be famous due to how handsome, fashionable and talented I am? I do hope they won't tease me, like they do at school...

Perhaps they'll even ask for my autograph and take my picture? Oh, that'll be just marvelous!

[Oh. The Commander hasn't really heard of houses in schools before, but on the other hand, when has he ever gone to a school?]

What are the other three?

Sorry, IRL stole me!

[gildylocks]

Oh... Gryffind- those don't matter!

There aught to be a fifth house for extraordinarily pretty students, don't you think? [ <333 ]

That's fine~

[psimera]

...
I suppose? If that is considered of merit. [Lockhart definitely does think that, so maybe others where he's from do too. Even if the Commander doesn't agree as much, it's their school.]

<33

[gildylocks]

[ Gilderoy nods along to his words eagerly, his blonde curls bouncing along. ]

Why yes... I'm sure others would agree! I'd have to be made headboy, though. [ Unless Lucius snags the title up first. Then, he'll cry. Pitifully. ]

[psimera]

...
The headboy is an example to the rest of the house?

[gildylocks]

Oh, yes! Wouldn't that be wonderful?

[ Have another very sparkly smile. ] Will you be my friend? [ ...that'll be a first for Gildy. The girls are nice to him but a friend who's another boy? ]

[psimera]

[Oh. That - well, he doesn't see a problem with it. He can't think of any disadvantages right now, and having a friend would be useful. One can convince friends to do stuff for you. It's like a truce with easy favor trading. If it's something that doesn't work out, he doesn't think there'll be a problem dropping it either, since Lockhart doesn't seem too intimidating.]

[Commander no that's not quite how... friends work...]

I am agreeable to this. [He holds out a hand to shake.]

[gildylocks]

[ Gilderoy is overjoyed! He shakes his hand, his own is soft and manicured and maybe a hint of sparkly nail polish tee-hee. ]

Wonderful! Oh, what is your name again, my dear? [ Yes. My dear. Good luck ever getting rid of this one, Commander. <3 ]

[psimera]

[The Commander's hands are gloved. Worn enough to tell that they're not new, but still in good ship.]

My designation is Pigmask Commander. What should I call you? [You never know, maybe Gilderoy will be a good influence. Teach the Commander to be more sociable.]

[gildylocks]

My name is Gilderoy Lockhart~! But... but you may call me Gildy. [ Gilderoy always wanted a nickname! ]

Shall we go get fizzy cotton candy sundeas?

[psimera]

...
Gildy it is then. [The Commander doesn't see much significance in a nickname. If that's what Gilderoy wants to be called, then sure.]

[Mention of fizzy things knocks him out of his stiff, formal pose a bit. Oh yes he wants fizzy things. This friendship is already paying off.] Alright. [Despite the neutral-sounding answer, he does look happy at the prospect.]

[gildylocks]

[ That earns him a loud, happy squeal from Gilderoy! He TRULY made a friend~! ]

They're awfully delicious! I'll pay. [ The Commander is then dragged off to Florian Fortesque's ice cream parlor, which is very... colorful, and given a fizzy cotton candy sundae with two straws. ]
