Drabble: The Hogwarts Yeshiva.

Summary:

Quidditch is bittul torah.

Notes:

A freilichen Purim! The second chapter is the translation. Thanks to someone who prefers to remain anonymous for the brainstorming help!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

Rav Ze'ev Lupin was Harry's favorite teacher. He didn't make them do everything inside like Lockhart, instead preferring practical coursework. Harry was finally perfecting the spells for libun! It took his mind away from all the mishegaas this year about Sirius Black. Harry was getting so much practice ignoring loshon hara, they should call him Gedalia.

Although not everything was bad. This was the first year in decades that a werewolf howled at every Haman. And no one was blaming Neville anymore for losing the passwords. As a former Gryffindor, Sirius Black surely knew that mishenichnas our door, marbim bisimcha.

Chapter 2

Summary:

Quidditch is a waste of time that should be spent learning Torah.

Notes:

Happy Purim!

Chapter Text

Rav Ze'ev -- although his English name was Remus, he used his Hebrew name professionally -- Lupin was Harry's favorite teacher. He didn't make them open their books all the time like Lockhart had, instead preferring practical coursework. Harry was finally perfecting the spells used when a method of burning is required to make a vessel kosher again! It took his mind away from all the nonsense this year about Sirius Black. Harry was getting so much practice ignoring gossip, they should call him Gedalia, after Gedalia ben Achikam, whose assassination, after he ignored gossip, is commemorated yearly with a fast day.

Although not everything was bad. This was the first year in decades that a werewolf howled at every mention of the name Haman when the megillah was read on Purim. And no one was blaming Neville anymore for losing the passwords. As a former Gryffindor, Sirius Black surely knew that, as with the approaching month of Adar, when he approached our door, happiness increased.
