Most Unnatural
"That," Remus Lupin stated quite plainly, "is most unnatural."
And the fact of the matter was that it was most unnatural and should have been blocked from public sight permanently. The mental damage it could do was probably irreversible and Remus felt he would be queasy if he looked at the image much longer. He closed his eyes firmly and took a few steps to his right before he opened them, only to be bombarded by another cascade of unwanted viewing material.
"I have to agree about that," Arthur Weasley replied as he picked one up, narrowing his eyes as though the image caused him pain-- which it probably did. "But Molly likes it."
"How can she?" he asked, peering over Arthur's shoulder and the object being held. "I will never understand women. Never."
"They are a bit... odd."
"That'd be putting it lightly. I find them to be so... odd... that I never married." Remus turned around to try and find a more pleasant sight. "Sweet Merlin! It's everywhere!"
"There's no escaping it," Arthur agreed. "And I thought you never married because of the whole... err..." He attempted a wolfish snarl that nearly made Remus laugh.
"That too. Still... look at this. It's appalling! Showing that many teeth should be outlawed."
"Of course," he replied as he flipped the object over in his hands. "But Gilderoy Lockhart's won that stupid smile contest so many times... in fact, I think that's what this book is about."
"Terrible what happened to him, isn't it?" Remus asked with a small grin, knowing the answer he'd get.
"Not really, no."
Arthur set the book back in its respective place before he and Remus moved to another aisle of Flourish and Blotts to find reading material not covered by a horrendously handsome man who showed too many teeth.
