Fair Professor Brun
Stern perfectionist, I yearn
To see thy non-smile.

A thing of beauty
A joy forever, so Keats
Would have described it.

I'm so glad we're going to go back to school soon! There are some things that I will truly miss next summer if it is fated that I shall never see them again!

Are those haikus? I think that's what Ed called them.

[charmingrogue]

Indeed they are! Are you interested in poetry?

[smithami]

Not really. I don't know much about it.

[charmingrogue]

Ah. That's all right. Haiku seemed an apt poetry form for a subject like the wonderful Professor Brun. Terse and to-the-point and very disciplined.

[smithami]

I don't know much about her either, but I suppose you would know better than I would anyway!

[charmingrogue]

Head of Slytherin
Unsmilingly pretty, she
Does not like jokers.

[smithami]

I doubt she'd like your haiku, then!

[charmingrogue]

Probably not. I believe in expressing honest and sincere feelings, however.

[smithami]

That's admirable.

[charmingrogue]

Thank you kindly. The truth is usually bound to get out sooner or later anyway on important matters, yeah?

[smithami]

Always!

[charmingrogue]

So how have you been anyway, cutie? Getting into a lot of trouble over the summer, or bored senseless, or perhaps a combination of both?

[smithami]

Bored senseless. You have no idea how bored.

[charmingrogue]

I think I have gotten a vague impression. Sorry to hear.

[smithami]

Not as sorry as I am.
