"You'll be writing me a paragraph, just to by sure that my message has sunk in," he said, leaning back in his chair. "I want you to explain WHY Mister Sinclair may have found your response insulting," he told him. "No less than five sentences, please. And put some good thought into it...if I'm not happy with your response I may ask you to rewrite it," he added.
Adam got out a piece of parchment and ink and a quill...
Dear Mister Sinclair,
At this point Adam looked up. It wasn't too bad now, was it?
Am I writing to you because I have received a detention for my rude outburst to you about your dream with SHOES.I am sorry to hear or see that your feelings may be hurt, because I know somewhere deep down in my black heart that I have a SOUL.If there is anything I can do to make this up for you, please tell me so, as I would love to learn a life lesson from my GRAND mistake. If you had done that with my dream, which I know you would never had, I'd probably be a smidge hurt, but hey everyone feels different when it comes to life.Please do not hesitate to teach me a life lesson also, because this bad boy Burn needs it, and I too am not doing well. It's the mood I am in right now, but usually I never do such rude things.
Your Gryffindor Clasmate, Adam Burn.
It took him about 10 minutes to right this all down, as he stared off to space and made his feather roll forwards and backwards. After reading it a few times he handed it to the Professor.
"Here you go."
