Catechise - 1. To question closely. 2. To instruct orally by means of questions and answers, especially in Christian doctrine. 3. To question with reference to belief.
"Who are you?" Walburga shook her fourteen year old son viciously. She wouldn't lose another son to misguided beliefs. She wouldn't.
"Regulus Arcturus Black!" Regulus managed.
"To whom do you belong?"
"The Most Ancient and Most Noble House Of Black!
"What is the family motto?"
"Toujours Pur!"
"How do you stand in relation to it?"
"I would die to uphold it!
On and on it went, the questioning, the relentless questioning. Regulus stammered out the same answers over and over, until his mother was satisfied.
(And if he had his doubts about the validity of his answers, he kept those to himself. The Blacks couldn't afford to lose another heir.)
