The greatest gift in life is the one someone gives you. You can not see it, but you know it's there. No it is not love. Love is a matter all its own. The greatest gift is company because no matter who it's with or how much you despise the person deep down your just happy you're not alone.
Dessa D. Odd Ball
Day six of our imprisonment we all set around a table with books piled in the center. The only ones who weren't shaken up on the matter seemed to be Sirius and I.
"You're all lunatics, I swear!" Sirius complained as everyone buried their nose in a book looking for answers. "I mean bloody hell Moony has gluttony! He is as thin a rail!" Lupin looked up not appreciating the comment on his weight.
"You have to look into the deeper meaning! What if we're supposed to do something!" Lily told him roughly flipping the pages of her book. I sighed rather bored with the situation.
"You want an explanation?" I asked and everyone watched me with curiosity.
"Oh I would love to hear this." Potter tossed his book aside, and I crossed my hands on the table.
"Gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. Only in Christian religion does it deal with food. Now if these 'vision or whatever you call it was real, then Lupin probably got gluttony from his over-indulgence with books and a constant strive for knowledge." I smiled as Lily's moth hung open. Mary scoffed stared a me.
"That actually makes sense." Lupin muttered putting down his book.
"Fine, then why did I get sloth?" She shot, but I already had thought over everyone's.
"Easy. Sloth is sadness or despair being viewed as being a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world he created causing it to be a sin. Even though you're not over depressed you do tend to be a pessimist and even when something good happens to you; you find something wrong." Mary glared at me for pointing her out in that manner.
"Name one…."
"Roger Welch asked you out in fourth year to be his date to the spring ball, though you accepted you spend the whole night complaining that he only asked you because there was no one else." Mary's face turned a bright pink. Roger had been the star of the hufflepuff team and was two years older then us.
"That's being modest!" She yelled in defense trying to cover up her own embarrassment.
"That's being a pessimist!" She muttered profanities at me under her breath. I sighed, and looked around the table.
"Anyone else?" The rest were more then self explanatory.
"I got lust! Me of all people!" Lily's head dropped into her hand. I laughed receiving many more glares.
"I think I can explain that one…."
"Shut it Potter." I warned as Lily's hand went to the base of her wand. "Do you really want me to say it now?" Lily seemed to think about this for a moment before her curiosity got the better of her.
"Go ahead." A smirk crept up on my face as I thought of how to word this one.
"Well quite frankly Lils you're a temptress." Lily shot to her feet screaming.
"What?!" I held my wand in my hand as I watched her eyes blaze with fury.
"I agree!" Potter shout, and I sighed. Oh he was dead…..
"Temptress! I don't tempt you git!" She screamed at him. I tried my hardest not to laugh, but this was hilarious.
"Oh of course not I just love getting shot down for no reason what so ever." James mocked running a hand threw his hair.
"I' m not a slut…"
"Never said you were a slut." I piped up, and Lily stopped and looked at me.
"But Lust…."
"Is any intense desire or craving for gratification and excitement. There is bloodlust, lust for goals, lust for power, lust for money, and lust for control." Lily sat back down as she waited for me to finish. "I personally think you lust for control and, or understanding."
"What do you mean?" Lily's temper had calmed and the room went silent.
"Growing up all this was fake to you. There was no such thing as witches, wizards, dragons, and trolls. Now there is, and you want to know everything you can about this world." Lily nodded she was stunned speechless.
"Wow, ok then why did you say temptress?" She muttered after moment.
"To mess with your head." I smiled sweetly as she chucked a book at me. "God! One more person throws a god damn book at me, and…." Three more went flying at me. "HA! Funny! Bastards." I muttered.
"What about…"
"Ok, I'll just explain the rest." I said cutting of Pettigrew. "Pettigrew you got Envy because you hang out with those three your jealous of something, and I leave you to figure out what. Potter you got pride because let's face it you're full of yourself."
"Am not!"
"Shut it and let me finish!" I yelled trying to explain all this to them was like talking to a wall. "Black you're greedy that is self explanatory."
"Greedy?" He laughed leaning back in his chair once again.
"Yes, you have a girlfriend you want someone else. You have attention you want the whole spot light….Get where this is going?" He nodded quite amused with himself.
"And what about yours, smartass?" Mary asked, and I rolled my eyes.
"Well obviously my person did a better job explaining mine to me then yours did. Basically they told me I am angry and seek revenge…Mwhahaha." I had to add the evil laugh since mine was the most evil.
"Fits you perfectly." Lily laughed, and Mary nodded in agreement.
"Like last year when you caught Luke cheating on you." I began to laugh. I went out with this hufflepuff guy named Luke Austin, and I caught him snogging Rita Qhia. He didn't see me so the next day when he met me by the lake before classes he went to kiss me so threw him in; in front of the whole fifth year class.
"Ah, yes good times." I smiled flipping my hair out of my face.
"So now what do we do?" Mary asked after the laughter and excitement had ended.
"We wait." Black said flipping his wand around in his hand.
