Lockhart is SHOCKED, APPALLED

[acharmingsmile]

I just can't believe they'd film NEWT SCAMANDER's little booklet before any of my magnificent books! Why, Voyages with Vampires alone has more fantastical beasts than his entire work combined and- and more importantly, look at the man!

Hardly the sort of fellow who'd fill theaters, I'd say! Magical Me moved those who read it to tears, you know, not to mention the beautiful, enchanting photographs of yours truly.

Why aren't my fans rioting against this- this outrage? [ Have a rather... nervous if infinitely more charming than Newt Scamander's smile-smile. ]

I do have a great many fans left, don't I?

[ ...more important than awards? Lockhart can't compute. ]

What could possibly be more- did you know I won Britain's Best Dressed Wizard award as well?

[thegreatergood]

So you're proud of these awards you've won?

Wouldn't you want to show them off to the entire world, not just the wizards...

[acharmingsmile]

Why, that'd be just marvelous!

Do you think the Muggles appreciate a nice smile?

[thegreatergood]

I'm sure that they would. You wouldn't mind sharing it then? Your.... talents.

[acharmingsmile]

I suppose I wouldn't! Why, it'd be a shame to let anyone miss out on them. [ Gilderoy doesn't have anything against Muggles, although he does think they could dress a little nicer. ]

[thegreatergood]

You know, we have something in common.

[acharmingsmile]

[ Snappy dressers? Fabulousity? ]

...we do? Is it great hair?

[thegreatergood]

[He grins. They do both have fantastic golden locks.]

Perhaps. But we also share a first initial.

[acharmingsmile]

[ They really do! It gets you places. ]

Oh? Is your name Gilderoy as well? Why, you're not a younger me, are you? [ Gilderoy probably looked something like that, though with far poofier hair and a little chubbier. ]

[thegreatergood]

[There's a laugh.]

No. Not at all.

My name is Gellert. Gellert Grindelwald.

[acharmingsmile]

[ Sadly, Gilderoy's memoryloss and general... absentmindedness prevents him from recognizing that name. ]

Charming name! It's no Gilderoy Lockhart, mind you. [ What is? ]

[thegreatergood]

[He's quite happy that Gilderoy's not freaking out on him. And Gellert finds him still amusing.]

You're very... special. Yes.

[acharmingsmile]

[ Gilderoy freaks out about... different things, like pixies or messy hair. ]

Why thank you! People ALWAYS tell me how special I am. [ This could've been you if you didn't have all that intelligence! ]

[thegreatergood]

[Intelligence has its own dangers.]

I'm not surprised by that.

So what do you aspire to besides winning best smile and best dressed?
