Keep Quiet

"Will you shut up?"

"I'm trying to work, too."

"Then why are you talking?"

"This homework involves talking. Besides, if I read it to myself, it sounds better than reading it in my head."

"Who told you that?"

"Everyone who ever existed. Rosie, I thought you were the smart sibling."

"Well… I do it, too. I just didn't know you did it."

"So… you're going to start doing it now, then?"

"Shut up."

"You shut up."

"I'm older and bigger and am better at spells than you are."

"Too bad we're not at school, then. I could knock you on your butt the Muggle way in two seconds."

"I have more muscle than you."

"Wanna fight, then?"

"Alright. Outside?"

"Scared?"

"I was thinking of your safety for when I knock you out."

"Ha!"

"What are you two doing?"

"Homework, Dad."

"Outside?"

"For Herbology."

"Together?"

"Rosie needs the help. She's quite stupid – hey, ouch, that hurt!"

"You're such a cry baby. See, I could knock you over in two seconds flat, because you'd come crying to Mum and Dad if I pulled a hair."

"What's this?"

"Nothing, Dad."

"Are you ready?"

"You bet!"

"Ready for what?"

"Herbology, Dad."

"I'll beat you."

"No you won't."

"Yeah, I will, you're just scared, Rosie."

"Sounds like an interesting Herbology assignment. Sounds like you two are planning a fight."

"Never, Dad. Do we look like fighters?"

"Ow!"

"See, Dad, Hugo cries at a pinch."

"Rosie, that was uncalled – ow!"

"Cry baby, cry baby!"

"Stop pinching, Rosie!"

"Rosie, stop hurting your brother!"

"Ow!"

"Ouch!"

"Who's the cry baby now?"

"Okay, on three, you and me out there!"

"Ow!"

"One –"

"Ow!"

"Two –"

"Ow, stop!"

"Three!"

"Rose, get off your brother!"

"Rosie… Rosie, get off me!"

"Rose, for the love of Merlin, if your mother sees this, she'll be –"

"Will all of you please keep quiet! I'm trying to get some work done!"

"Sorry, Mum."

"Sorry, Mum."

"Sorry, Hermione."
