Chapter 1: Don't talk to strangers.
Ron and Sirius had been wondering the shops all day trying to find the perfect birthday present for harry.Harry never seemed to have given any insight as to what he liked, so the two of them wondered aimlessly around stores wondering if he'd have liked this or that.
"Padfoot, I don't think we're ever going to find anything in time.",ron mumbled as they trudged on.Looking at his watch sirius noted the time had gotten away from them, for it was only two hours until harry's birthday.
Sirius sighed,"I guess we had better head back then.". He really wanted to give harry a really special birthday, seeing as harry was living with his godfather now.Just as they were heading for number12 grimwald place,sirius and harry's home, a figure started to aproach them.
As the figure got closer they saw the person was hunched over like an old man, and covering the figures face as well as the rest of him he wore a long, black hooded cloak.He stopped right in front of them, and in a low croaking voice, began to speak.
" you seem to be having trouble finding a present for the 'boy who lived' if i'm not mistaken, oh! sorry but I couldn't help over hearing, by the way i'm martin val thomas."
The old man seemed quite harmless, andsirius really wanted to giveharry a really good present so he bowed to the man saying,"well, i'm sirius and this is ron, might I ask how you may help, you see we are goimg to belate if we do not leave soon sir."
The man straitend abit and handed ron a bottle filled with sweet smelling liquid. "Whats this,sir?",inquired ron." This my lad is a special cologne all young men at some point in time use it and it is the most thoughtful gift for a boy harry's age."
"Thank you sir, thank you, what do we owe you?"sirius smiled,shaking the mans hands in both of his."Nothing my boy you have already paid me dearly." the man said, and in that instant apparated to who nows where.
"that was weird."said ron, as they headed towerd their desired destination.
