Letters From Larry

"Sirius, you have a letter," said Remus, handing Sirius an envelope.

Sirius was pleased with this. "Oh, joy. I just love getting mail." Before he got a chance to open it however, Remus came back and said, "Sirius, you have another letter." He handed Sirius a second envelope.

Sirius felt like doing a victory dance. "Double joy. Even more mail!"

Before he could even think about opening the letters, Remus returned again. "Sirius, you have another letter." He gave Sirius yet another envelope.

"Who in the world could be writing to me?" Sirius wondered. "Triple joy, I suppose!" He was just about to grab hold of one of his letters, when Remus came back again.

"Remus, stop that," said Sirius. "Can't you just stay in one place for once?"

"Don't blame me. The letters are forcing me to do it!" Remus replied. "Here, you have six more letters." He handed the six letters over to Sirius. "Who in their right mind would write all these letters to you?"

Sirius looked at the envelopes of each letter before opening them. "Oh, they're from my Muggle friend Larry. I met him in the park."

Remus was shocked and appalled. "You actually gave him your address?"

"Hmm... now that I think about it, I don't remember telling him. Perhaps Larry can read minds?"

"Well read your letters already!"

"All right, then." Sirius opened up his letters, one by one in order. They said:

Hi, Sirius. From, Larry.

Hi again, Sirius. From, Larry.

Sirius, I saw a squirrel. From, Larry.

Sirius, I think there's a mouse in my sock drawer. From, Larry.

Hey Sirius, the mouse is starting to scare me. From, Larry.

Hello, hello, Sirius. From, Larry.

Sirius, do you know the Muffin Man? From, Larry.

Hi Sirius, I have to go clean my shower now. From, Larry.

Goodbye, Sirius. From, Larry.

Sirius' eyes brimmed with tears. "Those are the most wonderful and heart-touching letters I have ever received." He put the letters under his pillow for safekeeping. Kreacher found them one day and was horribly jealous.
