*Still smiling broadly as he thrusts a hand out to Xeno* So you're the man who's been caring for my Harry. *Only the vaguest of crinkles at the corners of his eyes indicates how irate he still is in regards to the other man's presence*

Caring for? Oh, no. *Finishes folding up the stroller and sets it against the wall, holding out one large yet wispy hand and sliding it into Gilderoy's, the other hand joining it to firmly encase Gilderoy's hand between his two, a gentle smile on his face*
I simply help Mr. Potter deal with the stresses of his life and memories through mediation and self-helping techniques. *Looks briefly over at Harry, still smiling, and takes in his slightly flushed face and more-ruffled-than-usual hair, but seems amused at the two younger men*
But excuse me, I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Xenophilius Galileo Lovegood. Galileo of course standing for Geoffrey Alphonse Leroy Ian Lancaster Edward Odell, although they have it wrong on the forms, so therefore my full name is in fact Xenophilius Geoffrey Alphonse Leroy Ian Lancaster Edward Odell Lovegood! But you may call me Xenophilius, 'Xeno,' or even 'Phil,' if you wish, Mr. Lockhart. I am the former editor of a paper called the Quibbler where I came from, but now make my living as an accountant, and I 'moonlight' as a physical, emotional, and mental therapist. It is a pleasure to finally meet you.
((Lawls. :3 Xeno is a few years older than Gilderoy in my mind. xD And he's- *Zooms off to google for a picture*))

*Treats Xeno with another award-winning smile as he shakes his hand, looking undaunted even as the man begins listing off his middle names; Gilderoy had a mind for details and bits of trivia - it had helped him keep his stolen stories straight* Now, don’t be modest! Not much attention put on your field, if you’re not giving yourself credit, no one else will. *Chuckles as he draws his hand away*
My Harry is a bit of a headcase, isn’t he? *Draws Harry closer by looping an arm around his shoulders* Never had the stuff to handle his fame, you know. Real shut-in. Lucky he charmed a social butterfly like myself! *Chuckles again*

*Hovers in the background until he's pulled forward by Gilderoy*
*Opens his mouth to protest, but snaps it shut when he realizes Gilderoy didn't actually say anything insulting- besides calling him a headcase*
*Glowers and says nothing, lightly clenching and unclenching his fist*

Use your pressure points, Harry. *Reminds Harry gently, without looking at him, and continues his conversation with Gilderoy*
Ah, well I don't put much stock into credit, since even the most qualified people often don't know what they're talking about at all, and often the more qualified you are, the less you know! *Smiles*
Oh, he's not so bad off as he thinks he is, rather it's his thinking he is that makes him so bad off. *Still smiling, and entwines his fingers together, setting them lightly on his stomach* But yes, yes, Harry is a very lucky man to have you, Mr. Lockhart. Very lucky indeed! And- of course very lucky to have you back to help look after him and help him get through his difficulties!
*Smiles expectantly, as if- now that Gilderoy was here to offer his insight and advice- he could really get on with getting Harry the proper assistance he needed*

gonk *Wonders what the hell Xeno is doing, but calms his stress by pressing the tip of his thumb against a certain place on his opposite palm- something that took a few weeks of meditation and mental strengthening to accomplish, not some sort of actual physical stress relieving point*

Pressure points? *Looks genuinely interested in the reference, peering down at Harry's fidgeting hands curiously* What's that about? Something I can have a crack at? *Brushes Harry's fingers away dismissively, gathering up his hand and pressing his index finger where Harry had been pressing his thumb*
Yes, well, he is known for his luck, isn't he? *Chuckling*

Hahehehehaha!....... *Laughs like he'd been tickled unexpectedly, and manages to slip away from Gilderoy's hold like an eel*
Aaah. *Clenches his fists somewhat and holds them at his sides* .... ahh..... actually, you have to do it a certain way. Otherwise you're just... er... poking around. So please, don't... er... do that.

*Smiles knowingly for a moment- the meditation and stress relieving techniques had strong ties to sexual meditation after all, and he'd been the one to help Harry, over the course of many long months, establish a mostly reliable 'instant orgasm' spot. Which of course happened to be rather near Harry's most used stress relieving spot- which Xenophilius had done completely on purpose. It made for a more eager student*
But of course you can learn it! It generally takes several months of meditation and exercises to establish a connection between the physical and mental, but it's quite worth it, I assure you. Since Harry seems to be rather shy today, would you like a demonstration on your person instead?
*Casually holds out his hand, palm up, for Gilderoy's hand*

*Scowls, obviously offended, as Harry retreats* Well I’ll have you know that the man I dated before you said I had wonderful hands for massage!
*Pauses as Xeno offers to exhibit the technique instead; still glares at Harry as he obediently thrusts his hand to Xeno* I am a very quick study. I learned French from a blue-eyed Seeker in six hours. Six! And at the same time I was teaching him to tango…

*Takes Gilderoy's hand warmly within his own, and takes a small step forward. When he speaks next, his voice is low and could be rather soothing*
That's quite wonderful, Mr. Lockhart........ now I would like you to try to relax and look into my eyes, it works best that way.
*Brings his other hand up to Gilderoy's palm, and starts drawing small circles on it, two on the left side, two on the right, back and forth, keeping constant eye contact with the man*
...... now, unlike acupuncture, this type of exercise does not generally give an immediate result. *Continues to speak in a soothing way* ........ however it is different from person to person. Pressure points-
*Presses down lightly with his index finger in the middle of Gilderoy's palm, and starts to draw very small circles*
...... are located depending on the preferences of the patient, and are more mental than physical. Through diligent meditation and exercise- *Moves his finger lightly up Gilderoy's palm, the thumb of his other hand pressing lightly against the side of Gilderoy's wrist* .... one can create a connection between the two, which acts similarly to a drug or pill, but without any negative effects. It can be somewhat addictive- *Moves both of his hands so that Gilderoy's palm is held between the thumb and fingers of both, gently stroking, and lowers his voice even further* ...... but there are worse things, aren't there, Mr. Lockhart?
*Smiles lightly*

*Sways lightly on his feet after a while of listening to Xeno talk, looking somewhat like he's in a trance as he watches both men's hands*
*Shakes his head as Xeno stops speaking, and blinks*
... er...... *Glances around, hoping Poppy or anyone else hadn't been watching* ... ahh..... yeah. That's... about all there is uh... to it. *Clears his throat and shifts slightly*

Gilderoy. *Visibly struggling to form a coherent word, his eyebrows knitting together as he abruptly draws his hand away* Gilderoy. My… name, you know. *Glances away, frowning at Harry, suddenly looking incredibly uncomfortable*
Right - well, enough of this psycho-babble nonsense, I’m ravished.

*Opens his mouth to ask if Gilderoy perhaps meant famished...... but decides it's best if he well.... didn't.*
Uh...... yes. *Fights down any sort of urge to blush, staying somewhat straight-faced but is also rather uncomfortable* Well, splendid. Let's go sit down then, before the others decide to start without us, shall we?
*Moves between Xeno and Gilderoy, barely managing to not give Xeno a glancing 'WTF?' look, and pushes open the main doors of the dining room once he reaches them, revealing the dining room now all decorated and set up for Gilderoy's homecoming, with the head chair at the far side of the room, Godfrey seated in the chair to its left*
Ah! The food's keeping well, isn't it? Sorry we took so long, kiddo.

Gilderoy it is then.
*Still smiling, now slightly amused, but doesn't acknowledge Harry's not-looking and gestures politely for Gilderoy to go ahead of him*
