Bneig Stpiud
If yur'oe raednig tihs I wolud lkie to ask you to raed it out luod. I hvae to raed out luod a lot: our prfeososrs lkie to haer us raed form txet bokos in clsas. I htae raednig out luod.
My nmae is Vincent Crabbe. You may konw me by scuh neams as, taht fat stpiud guy, one of the giollras taht hnag auornd Malfoy, and my peorasnl fuavoirte, the pnaeut barnied bdoy garud.
Ppeloe seem to tihnk taht I hnag aurnod Malfoy bucaese he pays me, or bcaseue I am too rertaedd to fnid fernids. No one eevr sotps to thnik taht mabye Draco is my firned. Draco is a ncie guy; he is a ltitle shlalow, vian, slef cetnerd, tdens to run his mutoh off a bit… but eveoryne has teihr faluts. Greg fatrs afetr eevry mael, but no one eevr stpos to wodner why I am his fnierd. They tnhik Draco is too good for me: too pouplar. Eevn his mrtoal eemny's can not bevilee that he is acatully frnieds wtih me.
I wsih ppeole wolud mnid tiher own buesinss. Tehy go on aobut how slef riohtgeus tehy all are and yet I sltil relcal the whpisers taht folwloed me arunod wehn I cmae bcak to scohol in soecnd yaer. Eevn the msot upsnditang and knid hrteaed Grienffdor gpead at me wehn I rerntued, and wheipsred to thier fenrids, asikng tehm how on ertah I pasesd the eamxs.
I konw I am not vrey sarmt. It is not my fulat taht I can not keep up in clsas. Or taht it taeks me logner tahn oethrs to fiisnh my howomerk. But I am not spitud. No mtater how oeftn I feel spitud I konw taht I am not. Are you stpuid? Beaucse wtih the lngeth of tmie it is tainkg you to raed tihs you creaitnly snoud it. Do you sltil tinhk I am spitud?
A/N I am a little unsure as the response I will get - if any- to this little, tiny bit of drabble.
I have always wondered if maybe Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe had learning difficulties at school. And then it got me thinking; does Hogwarts help children with learning difficulties? I am a little dyslectic myself, but nothing major; I have never required help with it. But I have had friends who have had great difficulties with it, and I know how hard it is for them to read. I still recall the sniggers that went around the class room on the first day of high school when one girl struggled to read a couple simple sentences... so this is sort of my response to Vincent having learning difficulties... It is a little odd, but I hope it gets the feeling of frustration across.
