Ten minutes later they were outside a muggle agency with big letters proclaiming "Need a New Name?" from above the door. Severus and Lucius stepped inside and looked around. Then they noticed that everyone else was in muggle clothes, they were wearing long black robes and cloaks.

"I think after we have changed our names," breathed Severus into Lucius's ear, "we need to buy some muggle clothes."

"I think we change our names over there." Lucius said pointing at five booths at the front of the room. They stepped into the queue for the fourth booth and waited.

They stood together in silence and observed everyone else in the room. Severus looked at the man in front of them. He looked familiar. He had dark brown shoulder length wavy hair and was dressed in red Hawaiian shorts, a black long sleeve t-shirt, brown sandals and odd socks. It might have been his clothes but Severus immediately noticed the man's untidiness. A few muggles were giving him funny looks but he didn't seem to care. He had a very large light brown moustache and as he got to the front of the queue it slipped a couple of centimetres down his face. He filled in a white form and pushed it towards the man in the booth.

"What do you want to change your name to?" the man asked.

"Sirius White," he said adjusting his moustache, "No no wait, Serious White." Severus noticed a wand sticking out of the man's pocket. He was just about to tell Lucius when-

"Next!" Severus and Lucius hurried towards the booth. They filled out the form the man gave them quickly when the man asked Severus what he would like to change his name to. Severus realised he hadn't even thought about it.

"Well I want something beginning with S and I want to keep the surname Snape," Severus said, names running through his mind. "Steve, Shaun, Stuart?" he asked Lucius.

"None of them do you any justice," Lucius replied. "You have to think outside the box. Something new, something imaginative, something different. Like Suave Snape or even Saucy." These suggestions were greeted by a cold look from Severus and Lucius quickly suggested, "What about Sexy? That could work seeing as we sell haircare products."

Severus thought it over. "Sexy Snape," he muttered, "Yes that could work."

Next it was Lucius's turn. Severus asked if he needed any help deciding his name but Lucius assured him that he had already made his mind up.

Sexy Snape and Luscious Malfoy emerged from the agency looking very happy. They headed off towards the muggle high street and started to look in the clothes shops. Luscious started looking in the women's section not realizing he was in it until Sexy dragged him out of in pointing at the sign. They quickly left that shop.

Two long hours and 20 shops later Luscious and Sexy arrived at Luscious's house exhausted but content. Sexy went into the lounge whilst Luscious went into the kitchen. Sexy sat down in the same armchair that he had sat in that morning. In his mind he went through the day's events…arriving at Lucius's house, being told about his plan, changing their names, buying clothes and now arriving back at Luscious's house. Sexy couldn't stop thinking about the man in front of them at "Need a New Name?" He looked extremely familiar, but Sexy couldn't quite place him. His eyes roved the wall, as they had done that morning, fixing on the Hogwarts photograph. He found the red-haired girl again and smiled sadly to himself. Then he noticed the boy standing next to her. He had black untidy hair that stuck up at the back and glasses. Sexy moved towards the photograph and glared at the boy, "James Potter," he growled. "Oh and look all you're little friends next to you. You thought you were so tough but you're all dead," he spat.

Something made him stop. He looked at the photograph realization dawning on his face as he hurriedly took a quill out of his pocket.

"What do you think you are doing?" Luscious yelled as he came back into the room. He put his tray down on the table and ran over to Sexy, but it was too late. Sexy had already drawn a moustache on the smiling face next to James Potter. Luscious looked from Sexy to the photograph then back to the photograph.

"Do you realize who that man was? The one in front of us in the queue at "Need a New Name? I thought he looked strangely familiar, and I noticed that he had a wand sticking out of his pocket. Well this is your answer." Sexy prodded the photograph and Luscious took it from him.

"Not Sirius Black? Surely not. It can't have been. I mean, he's dead, I saw him die with my own two eyes." Luscious stuttered.

"Well the man surely looked like him. He must have been a wizard because he had a wand. And he changed his name to 'Serious White'. Doesn't that sound like Sirius Black? He could have been changing his name because everyone thinks he's dead, like me," Sexy finished quietly.

"So what do we do?" Luscious asked.

"We sell shampoo. Oh and one more thing."

"Yes?"

"Do I really have to call you Luscious?"

"Damn right, Sexy."
