          arms wrapped around the older woman, sophie had no intention to let her go anytime soon. this woman, her aunt, had always been like a mother to her, how heartless did she have to be to just leave.    “  you've always done the same for me.  ”    holding her tight, she didn’t look at her, afraid to see rosie still sad. how terribly she wanted to cheer her up.    “  whenever i’ve been sad, feeling alone, you’ve been there to cheer me up. let me do the same for you right now.  ”

THIS IS ACTUALLY a really good question !  And the answer is equally YES at is is NO; allow me to explain... To understand WHY Gilderoy did the things he did we have to look at the way he was raised, he was told by a very young age that he was the golden son. He was doted on by his mother and aunts to the point that his ego was already out of control before he even set foot in Hogwarts.

Gilderoy is IMPATIENT on the best of days               his writing career would have taken off even if he didn’t steal the stories in such a way as he did, and I fully believe that it was never his original intention to obliviate people to get their stories and sell them as his own. Due to his Veela blood and his natural charm people simply TOLD HIM THINGS. He never had to put people under a spell to get the stories and their details out of them. Gilderoy Lockhart is the kind of man you simply TRUST and feel the need to tell everything to. 

He did not set out on this path at first, and it has always been my headcanon that he did not leave the witches and wizards in such a state as he himself had been left in due to Ron’s broken wand. These witches and wizards are still functioning members of society; and no one would notice ANYTHING wrong with them. All Gilderoy took were the memories of these SPECIFIC events, and nothing more. 

The thing is though; he has not only messed with the minds of the people he has met   (   spinning tales so grand that even his own mind could no longer keep up with the lies he told   )   but also his  OWN MIND. In his mind, all of his actions have been JUSTIFIED. He has told himself lies upon lies to make himself believe that whatever he has done was the right thing and that he was absolutely not to blame. He does not feel remorse about his theft because he ORIGINALLY does not see it as such. 

In his mind, he sees it as inspiration rather than flat-out theft. It isn’t until he regains his memory five years after the events of COS that he TRULY FEELS REMORSE for the things he has done ! and when he finally feels it, he feels it deeply and truthfully.

Arthur knows he’s in trouble themoment he gets home from work. His clock hand is on mortal peril and he thinks that’s a slight exaggeration on theclock’s part. Yes, he’s not done as he was asked yesterday, but that doesn’t meanMolly is going to kill him . . . doesit?

He doesn’t bother to tell Molly he’shome because she’s coming down the stairs as soon as the door closed. Heprepares himself for a fight but she says nothing and chooses to give him the coldshoulder instead.

‘ Molly . . . ’ He starts,wanting to get it out of the way so they could carry on as normal. It’s what he’salways done. Apologise for whatever, and they move on just fine. Sometimes.Occasionally it takes a little more work – graftthe muggles called it.

She’s in the kitchen and Arthurtakes off his hat and cloak, hanging them up like he should every day and walks after his wife. She’s preparingdinner – rather aggressively, Arthur might add – and he doesn’t like the wayshe’s slicing the sausages in half. It’s like she’s trying to make a POINT.

For now, Arthur chooses to leaveit and instead goes out to his shed to tinker about alone until it’s time for dinner.It gives him time to think of a way to make it up to Molly. He should’ve gotrid of the car . . . and he’s in enough trouble at work for the incident that Roncaused. He doesn’t need it at home too. At least the children are all at schoolor working away. It’s just the two of them. There’s no sign of Molly a coupleof hours later and Arthur decides to retire back to the house. She’s nowhere tobe seen.

‘ Molly? ’ Arthur calls outcautiously. There’s a noise from upstairs and he goes to investigate. Thebathroom light is on, and he approaches the door; it’s ajar and he watches asMolly slides into the bath. He can hear her relax. Maybe now is a good time togo in . . .

Pushing the door open, Arthurwatches as Molly looks over at him before making a pointed look to not look at him.

‘ Molly dear. . . ’ He starts. ‘Please talk to me. ’

There’s no reply.

‘ Mollywobbles. ’

‘ Yes, Arthur? ’ She looks at himnow.

‘ Please, don’t let’s fight. ’ Hewalks over to the bath and kneels down by her side. ‘ Everything is fine.Everything will be okay. The inquiry . . . it’s just a formality. ’

‘ A formality? ’ Molly looks atArthur and he gives her the look thatbegs her to forgive him. Her face softens immediately.
