A Mid-autumn Afternoon’s Study Session
“Who even says solemnities? Just call it a boring party!”
“Seriously! Like, oh, how chance that people are so dumb?”
“Would an I could, dear Jamie boy! I have been forsworn from my family! A leviathan cast from the waters!”
“This is a very poor use of vocabulary studying,” Remus cut in. The others gave him a look, and he sighed. “This troth the most absurd way in which to complete english homework!”
“Oh, poor, Remus, in his robes and his weeds—”
“Oh, poor Sirius, anon for his knaveries to take place within the castle walls!”
“You can’t use anon wherein,” Peter frowned.
James gasped. “Wherefore not?”
“Aurora’s harbinger?" Sirius looked up from his paper. “And I thought my name was bad.”
“There are worse names than Sirius Black. What a bloody cool name,” Remus huffed.
James slowly raised an eyebrow and looked up from his paper. “Doth thou hear this, Siri? He thinks you’re cool. What dotage!”
“I didn’t—” Remus looked at his paper for the definition. “Hey!”
“Thou haven’t conned the list by now?” Peter laughed.
“Be dumb, Pettigrew! I must prologue—”
“Monologue,” James corrected.
“Well, yeah, but that’s not on the list. I must prologue the final word! As the word is sports, I feel this is a perfect segway into—”
“My time to leave,” Remus stood. “I’m not listening to one more word about football.”
“Wait!” James exclaimed. “Wait, there’s more. We have to find ten extra words to find the definition of and write them.”
“Oh, to hell with Honors English!” Sirius groaned. “I hate this bloody book.”
“Hm. You’re lucky Pete and I already made a list.” Remus presented a short piece of parchment.
Forswear, transpose, enthralled, thereof, beseech, vexation, melancholy, impeach, perforce, virtue.
Sirius decided not to mention how he knew each of these words. “That’s our Lupin!” He exclaimed, delighted.
“I forswear all of my rights to do schoolwork! Done!” Peter grinned.
“No, come on, it’s not so bad. I bet Sirius could put all these words into one long sentence." James looked at him.
He laughed. “Alright, then. I forswear the need to transpose any words, and I am enthralled with this challenge, and all related topics thereof, so I beseech the help of our dear Remus, whose vexation is caused by the fact we know all of these words and he doesn’t, he looks awfully melancholy, like he’s impeached the upper society, which, perforce, he has, and I don’t know the definition of virtue.” He paused. “Or how to use it in a sentence."
“McGonagall would be appalled at your run-on sentence.” Was all Remus said.
“I know virtue!” Peter piped up. “Like, vices and virtues, your strength and your weaknesses.”
“Which one’s which?” James asked.
He shrugged. “Ask Remus. It’s his list.”
“Yes, a list I made of words I don’t know.”
“Oh, well, we can’t expect you to do everything.” Sirius paused. “Maybe schoolwork is your virtue.”
