Gilderoy, you've spun your web of lies so far and wide that sometimes you begin to believe them yourself. After a day of signing countless autographs, and posing for countless photos with swooning witches (and some wizards), you forget that you're a fraud. You certainly don't feel like one. In fact, you think that anyone cunning enough to fool as many people as you have deserves all the admiration you're getting, and more.
Maybe you didn't really save a village from a pack of wild werewolves, and maybe you have no clue what the Homorphous Charm actually does, but you think you deserve that Order of Merlin, Third Class. You are and always will be a legend in your own mind and, as they say, it's now how others see you that matters, but how you see yourself.
