Some people might feel embarrassed. If they are caught reading or having erotic stories in a public or inappropriate setting, it can be quite a shameful experience.
There could be a sense of guilt, especially if it goes against their personal or cultural values. For instance, in a religious or family - oriented environment, being caught with such stories can make one feel like they've violated a moral code.
Some people react with shock. They might not be expecting to see someone crossdressing, so their immediate reaction is one of disbelief. For example, a friend might be completely stunned if they catch another friend crossdressing.
There are those who, when caught cheating, will try to shift the blame. In a business deal, if one partner is caught cheating on the contract terms, they might try to say that the other party didn't communicate clearly. But in general, being caught cheating often leads to a loss of trust. Whether it's in a friendship, a relationship, or a professional setting, once caught cheating, it's very difficult to regain the respect and trust of others.
A character might be defensive. They could deny the cheating at first, trying to come up with excuses or lies to cover it up.
People often feel a sense of guilt. Moms have a certain authority, and when she catches you misbehaving or doing something wrong, you know you've let her down. For example, if you're caught lying to her, that guilt can be really strong. Also, there can be a bit of fear, especially if you think you'll be punished. Like when I was caught breaking a vase and I was worried about getting grounded.
People should react with understanding. Instead of immediately shaming the boy, they should try to have a conversation with him to understand his reasons. For example, a parent could sit down and ask the boy why he did it in a non - judgmental way.
Scorpius might be more reserved and try to assess the situation first. He might not say much at first, while Rose is blurting out excuses. Then he could step in to support her explanations or add his own when he figures out the best way to handle it.
Some people are still quite conservative and might be shocked or uncomfortable. They may view it as something that goes against traditional values.
Society would likely be disgusted. Such behavior is inappropriate and violates personal boundaries. People would probably condemn the individual involved and demand appropriate legal actions if applicable.
If she's caught peeping in a more private or inappropriate area, it's important to be firm but also understanding. Maybe find out her reason first. For instance, she might be lost and accidentally peeked into the wrong place. After understanding, explain the boundaries clearly.
They usually react with shock and horror at first. After all, they've spent their lives denying the existence of magic. But as the situation unfolds, some might show a glimmer of curiosity, while others remain stubbornly resistant.
