Authors Note: This was written for Aqua Cahill's What a Word challenge! My word was Nowise.
This was mainly written for fun, and because I was bored. Tell me like you like it or not with a review.
Remus and Sirius sat in the Gryffindor common room, bored out of their minds. Sirius was bouncing a bouncy ball that he 'found' outside, while Remus was reading a book. They were waiting for James to come back from Quidditch practice with Peter, who was watching.
Sirius sighed. "Moony, you got anything to do?" Sirius inquired, hopefully.
Remus shook his head sadly. "Nowise."
Sirius had a very confused look on his face. "Uhh... Bless you?"
Remus had an equally puzzled look on his face. "I didn't sneeze."
Sirius stared at him. "Then what did you do?"
Remus set his book down and stared back. "I said nowise."
Sirius scratched his head. "You can speak French?"
Remus shook his head. "No, nowise means not at all-"
Sirius cut him off with a loud scream. "DON'T MAKE ME LEARN!"
Remus held his head. "You're so immature."
James walked through the portrait and into the Common Room. "Wormtail's right behind me, did you guys have fun?"
Sirius shook his head. "Nowise."
James had the same confused look that Sirius had previously. "Nowise?"
Remus sighed, was he going to have to explain it to everybody? "It means not at all."
James nodded and Peter walked in.
"Anything interesting happen?" Peter asked, sitting down.
"Nowise." James shook his head. Peters face looked even more confused than Sirius's.
"No- what?" Peter asked.
James smirked "Remus will tell you."
Remus shook his head and stood up, walking away furiously, but not before yelling. "Don't you guys have a dictionary?!"
Sirius smiled and shook his head as Remus walked away. "Nowise."
Over the next few weeks, people started calling Remus "Nowise Remus" They wrote Nowise in his text-books, he honestly didn't care though, he had to deal with Sirius for the past five years of his life. He could deal with some stupid third years no problem. however it did become quite an annoyance when they started writing things his textbooks, as they sometimes wrote over the text.
He approached Sirius. "Sirius, tell the others to stop, please." Remus knew if he begged, Sirius cave.
Sirius shook his head. "Nowise."
Remus glared at him. "You didn't even use it correctly there."
Sirius shrugged. "Nowise."
Remus put his hands over his face. "Stop."
Sirius smiled. "Nowise."
Remus felt like punching him, but he would probably break his wrist if he did. "Fine then, I'll just have to tell everyone your secret."
Sirius growled and shook his head angrily. "Nowise."
Remus nodded eagerly and ran to The Great Hall, Sirius on his tail. Remus burst open the door, and yelled. "Sirius likes Abba!"
And from then on, Sirius Black was know as The "Disco Queen" And Remus's name was forgotten.
