Sirius got out of bed. It was the last day of school at Hogwarts; and he
was very happy. Sirius was a fifth year and soon-to-be sixth-year. Sirius
Hopped over to James' bed and shook him awake.
"Come on! It's the last day of school!" Sirius said very cheerfully
"It is isn't it?" Said James rubbing his eyes "Oh well, I guess that means I can sleep in." He said and fell back onto his bed.
"Oh come on!" Said Sirius as he dragged James out of bed
"Gah! Alright! Alright! I'm up!" He yelled
Of course, after he yelled everyone in the boys dormitory woke up.
"What the bloody hell is wrong with you two?" Some one else yelled from a different corner of the room.
"Its 7:30; and we're supposed to be in the great hall at quarter till." Said Sirius; pointing at the old grandfather clock.
Everyone scurried out of bed to get everything together, in less than 15 minutes. They got done as soon as they could so they were able to make it back down to the great hall without getting in trouble.
They ran in to the great hall and sat at the Gryffindor table; just in time. Dumbledore stepped up to the teachers table and cleared his throat.
"All fifth years will stay here after Breakfast for your summer assignment." Boomed Dumbledore
"What?" Said most of the Fifth years in shock
Some people also said: "That's not fair." "Woo-hoo! Homework!", "We have what?!", "You had better be joking or I'll.." and a few others.
Sirius, James, Remus and Peter mumbled grumpily.
"Great, homework; just what I need." Mumbled James
"Maybe if I said my pet toad ate my parchment.."
"Peter, one: you don't have a toad. Two: Toads don't eat parchment." said Remus holding his head.
They slow ate their breakfast and stayed seated in they're seats waiting for they're assignment. After all the other students left except the fifth years; Dumbledore stood up at the teachers table.
"Your assignment will be done; there is no way it will not be done. Your assignment is to see what Muggles do to help the earth and the beings living in it. What will happen is your teachers will assign where you do the work. What you will be doing is going with a group of Muggles (or at least they all should be Muggles.). You will be doing what Muggles think of this work as helping out. Churches will organize things called "Mission Trips." Where they will go places and do clean up jobs. That is what you will be doing for 2 of your 3 months of vacation." Said Dumbledore; pacing back and forth.
The teachers got up and gave each student a piece of paper. Sirius' read "St. Luke's Episcopal church of Michigan. California and Mexico."
Sirius looked over James' shoulder his read the same thing.
"Alright! Were in the same group!" Said Sirius Grinning at James
Remus looked at his. His said "YMCA Clean up crew. Texas."
"Texas? I don't want to get sunburned!" Said Remus in shock
"You won't die!" Said Sirius shaking his head.
"That's what you think!"
"Hey, Peter has the same card as you." Said James pointing to the card Peter was holding.
"Yeah." Said Remus
"Alright! Everyone with a card that says 'St. Luke's Episcopal church of Michigan." Come over here and make a line." Said Dumbledore.
James and Sirius got up; as well as Snape and Malfoy.
"Ahh....shit." Said Sirius "They have to with us?"
They stood in a line a waited for about 10 minutes until They were all done organizing who was with who; then they were able to go were they pleased.
"Remember; June 20th is the day the buses will arrive for you to go to your destination! Remember that!" Yelled Dumbledore as everyone scurried out of the great hall.
"Come on! It's the last day of school!" Sirius said very cheerfully
