Poetry.

POETRY?! Really, Hadley?! Sierra guessed this had something to do with Arithmancy, but Merlin only knew what. Sierra peered at Alex, who was sitting across the room. It was really too bad that she couldn't just copy her brother's. Bahhh. Now then. Time to come up with something that was important to her family that also went along with the letters in Greingoth. Too bad there was no P in her last name. Power would have gone great there. Neverless, Sierra sipped her quill in ink and wrote:

Things Important to the Greingoths

G etting ahead of others
R ich in power
E verything at our fingertips
I ndependent, so as not to rely on others
N othing can stop us
G reatness is what we aim for
O urselves (that's who we look our for)
T alented in Quidditch
H ecate Lafay Greingoth

Hadley paused a moment. "Families, yes, while traditionally speaking they are a mother, father, and children.... as your basic nuclear family, can be anything. They can be your role models. They can be your teammates. Your housemates. Your neighbors. Your pets. Family is, really anything you want it to be. It's not just about living under the same roof and sharing DNA, but it's about affiliation. Connection. Mutual love and respect for one another." She paused again, looking around the room. "So before we get to the calculations involved in today's lesson, I want you to write your own surname down on your parchment and come up with a word or phrase for each each letter in your surname. In an acrostic style. Something that you think is important to you or your family. I'll put an example of my own name on the board." Heartwarming An Italian Deliberate in actions Lovely. Most of the time. Even can relate to you. Your turn now! Poetry. POETRY?! Really, Hadley?! Sierra guessed this had something to do with Arithmancy, but Merlin only knew what.
