Chapter 78 - Scrabble
It was a boring day at Grimmauld Place. To keep themselves entertained, Sirius, Remus, Bill, and Tonks were playing Scrabble.
Remus placed a few tiles down on the board. Antique. "Double word score. Plus, I used all my letters, so six points for that."
Bill tallied up the points as Remus took more letters from the box. Tonks stared down at the letters she had, her tongue in the corner of her mouth.
"Um... let's see." She joined some tiles to the beginning of Remus' word. "Argon. It's an element."
"Very good," Remus complimented her, as Bill added up her points.
Sirius yawned as he watched the goings-on. He had never liked Scrabble. Though it was one of Remus' infatuations, Sirius just couldn't get into it. As far as he was concerned, it was the most boring game Muggles had ever invented, besides Monopoly. He favoured exciting games like Mousetrap, Operation, and Candy Land. His eyelids drooped as he stared at the board. He wondered dully who had invented Scrabble in the first place. It was a game for geniuses. It must have been those people who invented Trivial Pursuit. That was another game Sirius hated.
His eyelids drooped further, and he rested his chin on his arms, staring at the board as Bill contemplated his move. His eyes closed and he fell asleep.
Bill reached over and dropped his tiles on the board, joining them with Tonks'. " Nifty. Double Word score."
"Your turn, Siri," Remus said, prodding his dozing lover. Sirius snorted, blinked, and gazed down at his letters. He had a C, a U, a K, two F's, a G, and an O. He blinked at them, still half-asleep. He still hated Scrabble. It was time to admit his displeasure. He chose six letters and dropped them down, joining them to Bill's F.
Remus craned his neck to read them. "F... U...C...K...O...F...F... Fuc- oh, my! SIRIUS!"
"I hate this game," Sirius said simply.
"He makes his point quite eloquently," Tonks muttered, as Remus whacked Sirius upside the head.
"And he got Triple Word Score with that," Bill said miserably.
