Said
Shamrock, "We'll teach just those
Who
are the fattest."
Said
Tulip, "We'll teach those
whose stupidity
is surest."
Said
Rose, "We'll teach all those
'Weakest
Links' ."
Said
Lily, "I'll teach all those
that
are the stinkest."
Said
Thistle, "I'll teach all those
who
are gay."
The Roses,
Shamrocks, Lilys, and the Tulips stared at the Thistles immediately with their
eyes ceasing. Then all of the students, except the Thistles, walked as far as
they could, away from the Thistles.
"I
finally know something I don't know about this school," whispered Sammy to
Eugene.
"What's
that?" asked Eugene silently.
"The
Thistles are gay!" replied Sammy weirdly in a loud voice. And the song
continued.
For
each of the five founders had
A
House in which they might
Take
only those they wanted, so,
for
instance, Shamrock
took
only fat wizards,
Just
like him,
And
only those of slowest mind
Were
taught by Tulip
While
the "Weakest Links"
Went
to recoiling Rose.
Silly
Lily, she took the stinkest,
And
taught them all she knew about stinkweed,
Finally,
merely the gay students
Were
taught by Thistle...
The
song was lastly ended. No one talked after they heard the song, the students
were actually the weakest, stupidest, stinkest, fattest people, and the Thistles
were gay.
Father Lam clapped after ten minutes. All across the Great Hall students were
exchanging remark with their neighbors and Eugene, clapping.
"Branched out a bit this year, hasn't it?" said Henry, his eye brows
raised. "I mean, what have they done to the song?"
Professor Ho, who was waiting to read out the list of first years' names,
waiting impatiently for the talking to stop.
"Now, first years, if I call you name, you need to come up here and put on
the Seattle Mariners baseball hat," said Professor Ho.
"Hanks, Tom."
A
terrified-looking boy stumbled forward and put the hat on his head. The hat
considered for a moment, then shouted, "Thistle!"
The
Thistles clapped loudly as Hanks staggered to their table and sat down, feeling
sorry for himself.
"Oh no, we got another gay boy in this school," murmured Henry Siu.
Slowly the long line of first years thinned; in the pauses between the names and
the baseball hat's decisions, Eugene could Henry's stomach rumbling loudly.
Finally, "Schwarzeneager, Arnold" was sorted into Rose, and the feast
began.
When
all the students were eating and chanting, Father Lam got to his feet once more
and talked.
"We have had three changes in staffing this year. We are pleased to welcome
our new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher, Professor Umbrella."
Few
of the students laughed. Professor Umbrella was looking frightened. What kind of
name is that? Umbrella? How could her parents name her so bad?" expressed
George Macfly.
"Now, that's not nice! It's 'How could her parents name her so Badly','
responded Sammy Cheng. "Actually, her full name is Umbrella On.
Bridge."
Students guffawed even louder. Professor Umbrella obviously looked more
frightened. Father Lam spoke again.
