Harry Potter and the True Test of Loyalty


"BOY GET DOWN HERE!!" Harry groaned. Why did his uncle
always have to get him up so early every morning? As Harry sat down at the
table he was surprised when his uncle turned to him, which he rarely did.
"So when are your 'friends' getting here and how?!?!?!" He asked with a
snarl in his voice. 'Ron coming!!' Harry thought to himself. How could he
have forgotten that? It was the first time he would be spending his birthday,
which the Dursleys had, of course forgotten… again. "Um.." He began,
trying to remember. " They're gonna be here at 10:00 and are coming by
Floo Powder again." "What!!!!" His Aunt Petunia shrieked. " Now see here
boy," Uncle Vernon started but Harry interrupted him. " I already told Sirius
that I would be there today and this is the only way they can get me." Uncle
Vernon had shrunk back at the mention of Sirius. " Fine, fine." He said
before walking out into the living room. Harry went upstairs to get his trunk

He was packed and had his trunk in the living room when the clock
struck 10:00, and sure enough at exactly 10 Mr. Weasley came through the
fireplace followed by Ron and….. A big black dog?? 'Sirius!!!!' Harry

Weasley noticed this and smiled. "Well, lets go then." Harry didn't even try

first, taking Harry's trunk with him. Harry was going to go next, but he
stopped. " You know," he began. " I don't think the Dursleys believe that I
have a godfather…" Sirius, taking the hint, turned back into himself. Aunt
Petunia screamed. " What ya think we should urn them into Sirius? Harry
asked grinning at his godfather. " A frog or a ferret?" " Frogs." Sirius replied
almost at once. With this all of the Dursleys ran away screaming. Harry was
laughing hysterically and so was Sirius. Mr. Weasley however wasn't.
"They aren't going to let you come back Harry." He said before he, himself
started laughing. "Come on Harry lets get home." Mr. Weasley said. Harry
stepped into the fire…
