Sentence #4

Using mendacity, Crabbe and Goyle always managed to pass their final exams, innocuous to none but themselves, by bilking off of Draco Malfoy's exam. Thankfully Professor Snape caught them and excoriated them. However, that did not last too long as Lucius Malfoy exculpated them by bribing Snape. Slytherin's internal workings remain a mystery to us all...

mendacity: dishonesty
innocuously: causing no harm
bilke: cheat
excoriate: severe criticism/self-righteously correcting
exculpate: to set free from blame/to clear from a charge of guilt
