*The Locket scene, from Deathly Hallows*
Umm, spoiler alert I guess?
Locket/Riddle: I've seen your heart, and it is mine! I've seen your dreams, Ronald Weasley, and I have seen your fears; all that you desire is possible. But all that you dread is also possible.
Least loved always by the mother who craved a daughter, least loved now by the girl who prefers your friend. Second best, always, eternally overshadowed.
*Riddle Harry and Hermione emerge from the locket*
Riddle-Harry: Why return?? We were better without you, happier without your, glad of your absence...we laughed at your stupidity, your cowardice, your presumption.
Riddle-Hermione: Presumption! Who could look at you, who would ever look at you, beside Harry Potter? What have you ever done, compared to The Chosen One? What are you, compared to the Boy Who Lived?
Riddle-Harry: Your mother confessed that she would have preferred me as a son, would be glad to exchange.
Riddle-Hermione: Who wouldn't prefer him, what woman would take you? You are nothing, nothing, nothing to him.
