"Oh, really?" Lockhart said with an indulgent smile. "Congratulations, Professor Burbage. It is an honor, after all—though, you know, it certainly doesn't compare to winning the Witch Weekly Most Charming Smile Award five times." He winked at everyone, his smile growing even brighter. Anthony did his best to maintain a polite expression.

I think she’s too old to be a concerned parent
HOGWARTS ROCKED BY BULLYING SCANDAL A deeply disturbing incident occurred recently at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where a 12-year-old second-year student was subjected to a collective bullying attack by multiple older students. Photographs of the victim during the assault were circulated among students for amusement. Deeply troubling is the school's failure to take appropriate action against the students involved, beyond a token protest by Slytherin Head of House Severus Snape. More alarming still is the school's refusal to provide any form of education or punishment for the perpetrators. A source, who wished to remain anonymous, informed this reporter: 'The bullies have a history of disregarding school rules. The Weasley children, in particular, have a record of tormenting fellow students, often dismissed as mere pranks.' Furthermore, it is alleged that more than one professor was complicit in the incident. Hogwarts appears to be fostering an environment conducive to violence and misconduct, rather than a sanctuary for learning and growth. The school's tolerance and neglect of this behaviour is unacceptable. A concerned mother stated: 'I urge the Ministry to act immediately to address this issue and prevent any future bullying. Our children deserve a safe learning environment. It is our duty to ensure this basic right is upheld.'

The older I get the more understand that people who make accusations like that only do it because they couldn’t imagine someone not doing it because they themselves would do it in some way shape or form. But this isn’t a absolute. Some people have been burned in the past and other recognize patterns.
"I think so too," Professor Burbage nodded. "Finally! This summer was a nightmare. A few of the old guard insisted I lacked seniority. I'd like to know who in Muggle Studies has more seniority than me! Then there's that fool Fudge, led around by the nose by Malfoy, getting dizzy over a few Galleons. And Umbridge, that hag… she actually accused me of wanting the advisor position to give Hogwarts more political sway in the wizarding world."

It’s amazing how many more wars happen when people do that.
"Muggles and wizards, wizards and Muggles, Muggles and Muggles, wizards and wizards… Violent conflicts have erupted between all of them. And after such conflicts, we all feel grief. We all try to find ways to prevent such tragedies from happening again."

That’s not really Poipole’s MO. It’s a starter Pokemon given to new trainers in Ultra Mega Lopolis. But I’m pretty sure the MC doesn’t know that. So 🤷
"The Manectric just told me," I yelled over the chaotic noise, pointing down at the sparking giant. "That thing on the surface isn't the only monster that fell out of the sky. There's a second one, a smaller Poison-type, wreaking havoc deep in the flooded lower levels of the facility."

Most birds do that. Alagaters and Crocodiles also do it.
"Excellent," Dumbledore said calmly, picking up the stone. "Next, the experimental subject must eat it… Chickens eat stones because stones help them grind food for digestion… At least, that's what Nicolas wrote."

He wasn’t talking about Them… he was referring to a specific author.
"Don't think about it now, Arthur," said Mrs. Weasley wearily. "The Malfoys are trouble. Your Muggle Protection Act is headache enough for him… He's just blowing hot air."

Lockhart had now expertly parted the crowd. "Now then, my dear lady," he beamed at Mrs. Weasley. "A fan, if I recall?" Mrs. Weasley stared, breathless, as if a miracle stood before her. Lockhart's smile grew brighter. "I believe I signed for you already, Mrs… Weasley? Weasel? ( "Weasley, Weasley, Weasley," Ron muttered. Harry stifled a grin.) What seems to be the—why, it's Harry Potter!"

Me remembering King Arthur’s legend looking at the situation “ no this seems pretty for him. Real life King Arthur is a piece of shit. And Merlin is literally the antichrist. If anything, this is way too humane.
"Slaughtering civilians?! These are the Knights of the Round Table?! This is the army under King Arthur who represents justice?!"
