551 Words3 Pages

Dorcas Meadowes and Remus Lupin were both sorted into Gryffindor when they entered the magical school of Hogwarts in 1971, but despite that neither of them actually talked to the other until their first christmas break when they were the only two Gryffindors that hadn’t gone home. It was Christmas Eve and Dorcas Meadowes, with her black hair tied back into a braid, sat on the red padded couch with her bony legs outstretched in front of her. She was reading the book ‘The Princess Bride’ and her grey orbs she called eyes flew over the printed word. She was about to turn the page when a skinny, weary looking Remus Lupin stumbled through the portrait hole, grabbing her attention. His eyes seemed to find Dorcas’s as soon as the entrance to the …show more content…

After a moment the female rolled her eyes and set down her book, a marker already in place. “Need help there Lupin?” His cheeks were stained pink and his nodded mutely; Dorcas lifted herself off the piece of furniture and wandered over to the pale boy. She notice, as she stood in front of him, she only reached his collarbones, she stood on her tippytoes-her feet only guarded by thick wool socks. One of her gaunt hands took one of Remus’s from his scarf and the other lifted the edge of his ushanka back, so Remus could see how close Dorcas’s face was to his. His amber eyes widened considerably, though orcas hadn’t noticed, instead she started to unwrap his scarf until it was wound around her lanky fingers. “Thanks,” Remus squeaked and Dorcas sent him a closed lip smiled, she handed him his scarf. “No problem,” And she walked back over to her spot in front of the fire where she resumed her book.

  • Anne Bradstreet's To My Dear And Loving Husband

    751 Words  | 4 Pages

    Anne Bradstreet’s poem “To My Dear and Loving Husband” was written between the years of 1641 and 1643. “Not until the year 1678, six years after Bradstreet’s death, the poem was published” (Ruby 228). A poet with Puritan beliefs, this poem uses the religious language, hyperbolic metaphors, paradox, and antiquated diction and style in order to explain the devotion and love for her husband as she struggles with the Puritan way of life along with the uncertainty of her reassurance of love. Reading this poem over and over for countless hours I came to the conclusion that there are two messages that Bradstreet was trying to project in this poem, the Literal way and the sarcastic way. The Literal way clearly shows the readers the love of a wife for her husband.

  • Analysis Of Billy Dickinson's Clothes

    1242 Words  | 5 Pages

    Upon first look, Billy Collins “Taking Off Emily Dickinson’s Clothes” seems to be a wild fantasy for Emily Dickinson that he is entertaining. Upon closer examination, however, the poem reveals his subconscious desire to have sex with his mother and his frustration about his inability to do so, resulting in the displacement of his sexual desires onto Dickinson. From the beginning, Collins is very detailed with his description. In fact he is quite anal retentive in explaining everything about the encounter. He starts from her outside clothing, “first, her tippet made of tulle” (1) and on through her mass of clothing until finally reaching her “corset” (41).
