Toast Will Rule the World

By: Lindsay Yates

Sirius Black, James Potter and Remus Lupin sat beside Lily Evans and Iris Hewson at the Gryffindor table one sunny morning of their seventh year at Hogwarts. Lily and James were picking at eggs, Remus and Iris were eating bacon, and Sirius had a piece of toast.

"Toast will one day rule the world," he said.

"What?" asked all of his friends in unison.

"TOAST WILL RULE THE WORLD!" he shouted, standing up on the bench he was sitting on. At this everyone in the great hall turned to look at him.

"That's right, you heard me," he said. "Toast will rule the world and I will be their fearless leader! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

"Sirius, sit down," said, Iris, blushing scarlet. She was obviously embarrassed to be his girlfriend at the moment. James Lily and Remus were trying to stifle giggles.

"NO!" he shouted.

"Please?" she asked, blush getting deeper in color.

"NO!" he shouted again. "Come on toast, we have better things to do." With that, he jumped down from the table and ran off into the hall shouting 'TOAST!' at everyone he passed.

"Sorry! He forgot to take his medicine this morning," said James and everyone went back to their conversations.

"Toast will rule the world?" asked Lily.

"Hey, that's Sirius for you," said James.
