Inspiration: The wallpaper on my Dad's iPad saying "Where in the nursery rhyme does it say that Humpty Dumpty is an egg?

Bold- Padfoot; Italics- Moony

...

Moony?

Yeah, Padfoot?

I need help.

With what?

A Muggle Studies project. And I know you're a half-blood and grew up in a Muggle town, so I thought you could help me. It'll only take a minute.

Okay. What's this project of yours about?

Well, I need to find a Muggle nursery rhyme, but I don't even know what a nursery rhyme is. Teach never taught us, she said that we would have to do a little asking around.

A nursery rhyme is a rhyme that Muggles tell their children when they're small. Some have meanings, some are just for fun.

Can you name some?

Some what?

Nursery rhyme titles?

Uhmm… An apple a day… The ants go marching, but that's kind of long… Baa baa black sheep… Fee Fie Foe Fum, but that's not really a good example… Hey diddle diddle is a good one… Humpty Dumpty-

What's Humpty Dumpty?

Well, it's often portrayed with an egg as Humpty.

How does it go?

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

Where in the nursery rhyme does it say that Humpty Dumpty is an egg?

It doesn't. It was originally about some cannon in the English Civil War.

It doesn't say a thing about a cannon either.

It's a nursery rhyme. It doesn't have to.

Why not?

It just doesn't.

Okay. Thanks.

For what?

For telling me my first nursery rhyme!

Er... You're welcome, I suppose.

AN/ Yippee! My first all-dialogue on FFN! I know, the ending sucked, but it's harder than it looks to wrap up all-dialog. I'll have more respect for those people who can do that from now on. If anyone wants to Beta my pitiful-but-growing-better-fics please speak up. Reviews are loved! ~random4ever
