Not as bothersome as expected

[cocoaficionado]

I don't think the second years have taken to the idea of essays yet. I've received several that trail off nearly three inches short and spend the rest of the parchment going on about how there are much more valuable ways of spending their time such as preparing for Quidditch tryouts or reminiscing about summer holidays. Honestly, such attitude.

What would be considered a reason?

Probably messing about with it in class or something.

Exactly as Mr. Weasley said. Pulling it out during class time. I'd rather not see them banned, myself.
