I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

I say, I think it's dashed unfair to ask us to sit through this dry old lecture, what, after all the swimming, running, flying and marching we've been doing since before breakfast!

(If anyone asks, we're taking notes, yes? And if anyone should need to know something about the Falklands, my mother had a cousin in the Royal Navy--but I rather think it does make sense, given how it took the military out of the country at just the right (or wrong) time.)

Still, this is the only way I think I shall bally well keep awake, if he insists on droning on, what?

If one wants to make an example of a halfblood who didn't think rules would apply to him?

It's barbaric, what, but it's not daft. Or, well, of course it's daft--it's mad ridiculous!--but there's method in the madness.

I'm sure it should have been quite different had Capper been fostered to an important or influential family--or if he'd even made an effort in subjects other than Arithmancy.

It's a bally well terrible thing to happen to him, all the same. But there's no denying that it's having quite an effect on every other halfblood in Hogwarts, what?

I say, suddenly tonight's lecture seems a bit more important. I think Linus Moon took loads of notes. Perhaps I'll ask if I might compare.
