It was a lovely summer's day when Neville decided to go to the Forbidden Forest to pick Blueberries. After walking into the forest a couple of feet he ran into a blueberry tree. Out of this tree popped a goblin, the goblin stared menacingly at Neville and said "If you want to pick blueberries, you have to solve my riddle: Why does a golfer wear three pairs of underwear?"
Neville thought and thought. Then he thought some more. Finally he had an answer: "In case he gets shot". This was the right answer and the goblin vanished into a puff of blue smoke. Neville stuffed blueberries into his brand new pair of Reeboks and wandered off.
After wandering on for a little bit, Neville saw a strawberry car. Harry had told him that the best strawberries came from strawberry cars, so Neville went to pick some. When he did this however, the ghost of Sirius Black rose laughing maniacally. He stared at Neville with his big ghostly eyes and yelled, "If you want some strawberries, you have to fight me. But, it my expertise." Neville looked around scared… what horrible thing would be Sirius expertise?
Sirius took a deep breath and cried out, "Shaving!" Neville let out a gasp of surprise, and then he looked down and saw that he had a chipmunk in one hand and a straight razor in the other. Sirius said, "Whoever shaves his chipmunk the fastest wins! Time starts …now."
Both Sirius and Neville started shaving. Sirius looked at Neville thinking he had the competition in the bag, but Neville knew better. When he had been a young boy Neville had been made to shave his grandmother's back, and he had become quite the expert.
Neville gave his chipmunk a quick look over, and seeing that it was hairless cried out "Done!" Sirius looked at his own chipmunk who still had the hairs by his nose untrimmed. He sighed and set his chipmunk down.
"You beat me Neville, you truly are the master." With that Sirius bowed and disappeared. Neville gathered as many strawberries as he could and triumphantly headed back to the common room.
