Only One Chance At Life
Sirius didn't hate life, although it wouldn't have been surprising considering his situation, but he hated some things in life, He hated people who flaunted their wealth. It made him sick. Sirius was dirt poor. He lived on the streets with an old man named Mundungus. He never knew his parents. As far as he knew they were dead. Mundungus was very nice, and told wonderful storied about witches, wizards, dragons, and other fantasy creatures. Sirius had never had any money and had always stolen what he needed. He couldn't stand to see rich people bragging.
He also hated people who hurt, tortured, or killed dogs. He loved dogs and went to the pet store in the city as often as he could to see the puppies. He had never owned a dog and when he asked the man at the pet store if he could hold one the man chased him away. Once he saw a butcher chasing a dog with a knife. Sirius had picked up the dog and disappeared into the alley. If there was one thing Sirius prided himself on it was his ability to navigate the slums, back roads, and alleyways of London. He could practically disappear into the alleys when he wanted to.
Another thing Sirius hated was poor people who acted stupid. The kind of poor people who lived on charity and used what little money they had on Alcohol. They would go to the bar come out drunk and then stand on the streets yelling God knows what. It embarrassed him. It made people think that just because people were poor that they were all drunks or thieves.
Sirius hated those things but he didn't hate life. In fact he loved life. Well maybe not loved it but he appreciated it. Mainly because he knew its value. There had been more than a few times when Sirius had been in fights and had come out close to death (all the kids his age fought with knives) but the weird thing was he would heal faster than most kids. Most kids may be stuck at home for weeks while Sirius would be back in a couple of days.
Sirius and Mundungus lived in an empty back alley and everyone knew not to go near it or you would answer to them. For an old man Mundungus was pretty strong. He had grown up on the streets and knew how to take care of himself, but it was really Sirius you had to watch out for. With a knife Sirius could beat almost anyone. He was only 11 and yet everybody around knew to watch out for him. Not only was he strong, but strange things seemed to happen (in his favor) during fights, like one time when he was fighting this guy named Louis. Louis was 17 and weighed about 3 times as much as Sirius' measly 71 pounds. Sirius seemed to be winning the fight until Louis charged him into a hook in the wall and he took it his back. His own blood began pouring down his back. Louis backed up to charged again and just as he was about to hit him against the hook for the second time Sirius disappeared and reappeared right behind Louis back. He had won that fight and others by those strange undertakings. This had been going on since Sirius could remember.
Sirius had been out for the whole day and he returned bloody, bruised, and with a broken knife, but also with a loaf of bread and a croissant as dinner for he and Mundungus. "Come sit down Sirius" Mundungus knew by now not to bother asking Sirius where he'd been. "What did you get for us," asked Mundungus. "Just a loaf of bread and a roll thing. Sorry, I would have got more but Jeremy's parents own the bakery so I thought it'd be best if I kept it simple," was Sirius reply. Jeremy was Sirius friend, but you still have to be careful about those things. Jeremy was also big and tough and more or less the leader of a small gang of very tough boys. He could make a lot of trouble for Sirius if he wanted to. "Sirius, I have to tell you something, something very serious. Today you got a letter." Sirius burst out laughing. Mundungus looked so grave and he was talking about something that happened to most normal people every day, still Sirius understood the graveness of the situation. He was an orphan, and not even a registered British citizen, and he was a "very dangerous thief" as the cops put it. "How could I get a letter we don't even have an address," asked Sirius. "Kate delivered it here.' Kate was a small girl who lived on the streets but worked for the police delivering letters to people they couldn't find. She would often brag about how it paid very well. As you can guess Sirius didn't like Kate very much.
What does it say asked Sirius? I didn't open it so I don't know was the reply ha got. Well here goes. With that Sirius opened his letter.
