such a dirty little thief
You are a dirty little thief aren't you? You lie, you cheat, you steal from another people. I mean, that's what thieves do. And you like being a thief. You've accepted being a thief.
You count on being a thief.
You expect people to scoff at you, turn up their noses, and keep walking. You expect people to look down one you, treat you like you're nothing. You assure yourself you're fine, you assure yourself that you're okay. You put up a façade like everything's fine.
But it's not, is it really?
Because deep down inside of you, you want to be more than a thief, more than someone people turn to when they want information on people, or they want something stolen for them. To most people, the object or information you give to them is more valuable than you are to them.
And you have value, you have worth. You want people to see you as more than a dirty little thief. You don't want them to scoff at you, you don't want them to turn up their noses at you and keep walking down the street. You want them to stop and say, "Hello, how are you?"
Because isn't that why you started stealing things in the first place? To get people to notice you? To get your Mum and Dad to pay attention to you? Certainly, you did need the money, but that wasn't the only reason, was it Mundungus?
You're such a dirty little thief, but you don't always want to be that. You're such a dirty little thief, who steals because he doesn't know how to do anything else.
You're such a dirty little thief, but really, you just want someone to care.
