Sirius Black
By, Sirius87


Sirius Black woke up to his parents arguing. They were always fighting about
something, sometimes it was about how his mother needed to get a job, or if they had
enough money to keep Sirius, but today, as usual, it was about how his father, Arthur,
hadn't told his mother, Siria, he was a wizard. Siria was a muggle and had found out two
weeks ago that she had been married to a wizard for fifteen years.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me!" Siria screamed. She was a very skinny woman
with dark brown hair and gray eyes.
"I thought you wouldn't like me if I did." Arthur said. He was a slightly chubby
man with black hair and green eyes. Sirius had his hair, eyes, and personality, but he was
very thin like his mother.
"Well you're right, I hate you, and now we have a ten year old son who might
turn out to be a freak like you." Sobbed Siria.
"I'm really sorry Siria. I love you and I don't want you to hate me now. You're
right I should have told you I was a wizard."
"Well sorry isn't good enough, I will not be married to a freak! We are getting
divorced." Siria yelled.
"And what about Sirius?" asked Arthur.
"He's coming with me, I don't want our only son to turn out like you!"
"Well I'm sorry, but he's already a wizard. He has magical powers like me."
Arthur said.
"And how do you know that?" asked Siria.
"When he was a baby he was crying hard and I didn't know why. Than all of a
sudden he stopped crying and when I looked at him he had his favorite blanket. I remember
I had left it upstairs, so I figured he must have used some kind of summing charm to get it,
which means he will be a wizard."
"Well he's not going to find out you and him are wizards."
"He already knows." Arthur said quietly.
"WHAT?!"
"He's done many other magical things and he asked me one day why sometimes
when he wants something very much it sometimes comes to him."
"So you told him? Now my only child will become a freak like you!" Siria sobbed.
"I'm sorry Siria please cheer up. Well wizards aren't too bad, want me to show
you some things we can do?"
"NO!" she screamed and ran out the door crying. Arthur heard a car pulling out
of the driveway. He went upstairs and saw Sirius trembling in the hall.
"Is m-m-mom gonna come b-b-back soon?" he asked.
"Of course she is, she was just angry, I'm sure she'll be back by lunch time."
Arthur replied.
"She hates me and you." Sirius said.
"No she doesn't, don't ever say that." Arthur says.

It was a week later and Siria hadn't come back. Arthur had called everyone he
knew, but no one had seen her.
"Dad," Sirius said, "Can you show me some magic?"
"Sure Sirius, I'd love to," Arthur answered, "What do you want me to do?"
"Can you turn this pencil into an elephant?" Sirius asked.
"Uh, an elephant is a bit too big don't ya think? Where would we keep it?"
"Yeah, I guess it's too big, but they are my favorite animal."
"How about a dog, you always wanted one didn't you?"
"Yeah, could I really keep it?"
"You sure could. Wait one sec while I go en get my wand." He darted upstairs
and was back in a minute with a 9 inch wand, it was very old and dusty, but Arthur seemed
very happy to be using it.
"Wow is that a real wand?" Sirius asked.
"It sure is, I haven't used this in a while, let see if I've still got it, shall we? Now
what kind of dog did you say ya wanted?"
"A St. Bernard." Sirius said, "and a puppy if you can manage."
"Well you sure like big animals don't you? Here goes nothing." He pointed his
wand at the pencil and said "infertos." The pencil grew into a young St. Bernard.
"Wow, now I have a dog just like Remus!"
"Only the Lupins' had to buy their dog."
"This is so cool! Will I be able to do this someday?"
"Of course, you'll get a letter asking if you will attend Hogwarts..."
"Hogwarts, what a weird name for a school. I think I'll name my dog Hogwart."
Sirius interrupted
"Very good son, you'll get the letter soon, you're almost eleven. It's July 1st and
your birthday is August 14, so it's only about a month until you get invited to attend
Hogwarts."
"I wish it was only a few days, I want to learn magic it looks so fun." Sirius said.
"Woof Woof" Hogwart barked.
"Your dog wants some attention"
"Can I invite Remus over? I want to show him Hogwart."
"Sure."
Sirius calls Remus and runs out the door to meet him.
"Hi Remus come see my new dog."
"You have a dog? Cool where did you get it?" Remus asked.
"My dad turned a pencil into a St. Bernard just like I asked."
"Leapin' Lucky Charms! Your dad is a good wizard. My dad said that's a very
hard spell to do, but he can't even turn a pencil into a pen, so it would be hard for him."
"Wow, I didn't know that was a hard spell to perform, I asked him to turn it into
an elephant, but he said they were to big."
"Woah, he's good if he could have turned it into an elephant. I wish my dad could
do magic well. He flunked school, but my mom did okay."

A few weeks later Sirius received a letter asking him to attend Hogwarts. He is
very excited. The next day Arthur takes him to Diagon Alley to get Sirius' school supplies.
While he's in Madam Malkin's robes for all occasions he meets a very short and thin boy.
"Hello" Sirius says, "are you going to Hogwarts this year?" Sirius asks.
"Yes I'm going to be a first year." Says a small squeaky voice.
"Me too, I'm Sirius Black. What's your name?"
"My name is Peter Pettigrew."
"What color robes are you getting?"
"I'm getting blue robes, how 'bout you?"
"Green, my friend and I planned to both get green, that's our favorite color."
"Who's your friend?" Peter asked.
"Remus Lupin, he lives on my street. Do you want to sit with us on the train."
"Sure."
"Meet us in platform 9 and ¾ on September 1st?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Okay, I gotta go now too get a wand. See you on September 1st."
"Bye" Squeaked Peter. Sirius walked out the door carrying his new green robes.
"I see you made a new friend." Aruthur said.
"Yeah, he's real nice, my age too."
"Going to Hogwarts."
"Yeap, we're gonna sit together on the Hogwarts Express." They go into Mr.
Ollivander's wand shop and Sirius gets a 9 inch wand, it is very similar to his dad's wand.
Once they get back home Siria is standing in the doorway frowning.
