Mrs. J.K. has it all, talent, looks, and money. It just happened those are the three things I lack… but I do have fun, for free.

I nodded: "You must have hated the Potters a lot for abandoning their son to those people. I know they pranked a lot, but to punish young Harry for it? That is low, monstrous even. Did you really drop him on a doorstep without knocking on the door? As a piece of garbage? If I were you, I would visit a mind healer, if this is the real you, then I don't think we can be friends."

Hah! Take that kitty! She should at least check his well-being. They were in the same order, that should count for something.

I piled on: "So here you are, eating three meals a day, Albus on his throne, and you as his lapdog next to him. Did you know Albus was helping himself to the Potter fortune? For managing the fostering of Harry Potter. Did you receive money too? Let yourself checked-out at St. Mungo's Madam McGonagall, and hope there is something wrong with you. Because if there is nothing wrong with you… you will share the blame with Dumbledore."

Huh? This is the third time I chase her away from her meal.

Manipulating 38

15 Have no fear, Lockhart is here.

Waking up with the sound of waves and seagulls, yep my alarm is spelled that way, I looked beside me… empty. Bummer, she didn't come last night. Well, maybe tonight. We can only dream about it.

At the breakfast table, I noticed Kitty did not have a good night's sleep. I asked: "Is everything alright? You look tired." She laughed bitterly: "No, nothing is right anymore. When the pillars you build your trust and beliefs on are just empty lies, the whole world crumbles down to nothing. You were right on one thing, even I would refuse to be my friend because of what I allowed to happen."

She looked me in the eyes, and asked: "Did you ever look in a mirror, and saw that the life you lead was meaningless? All the hardships and suffering wasted on the cause of a manipulator?"

I nodded: "People are fooled a lot of times, but it is also because if we are paranoid and mistrust everyone around us, life won't be worth living. You just have to work on your judgment."

Bullshitting 50

Hey! That was good advice! I was feeling like those TV Doctors. You know the kind that says: "Do what I say, not what I do." I smiled at Kitty: "You can always come to me for a talk. And I am famous for my foot rubs." Don't laugh! It is a good starting point to work your way up, and when you are holding their foot, it is hard to run away.

She answered with a smile: "A foot rub would be nice, but not today." I was having a good time, almost all Claws and Puffs walked with billowing cloaks. Snape was spitting fire, I tried to help him with a suggestion: "Severus, you can borrow my spell for sparkling teeth. People are always more at ease when you smile at them."

The naffer stuck with his billowing cloak and left the hall. Anyway, I have to prepare for the next class, the devil twins are in it.

They were all on time, eager to see what I put in their book. I started: "Welcome Lions and Snakes, today I, the Great Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League, five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most-Charming Smile, and your beloved Defense against the Dark Arts Professor will guide you on the path to glory, fame, riches, or to live your life in safety."
