It was Saturday. Hermione woke up and streached her arms. There was a large clap of thunder.
Hermione was startled by this. She got out of bed to see nothing but grey skies, a lot of rain, lightning,
a big black dog, windy skies...... wait, she looked down. There under a tree was a big black dog. Hermione
smiled and quickly put on her robes. She ran to the boys dormitory. Harry and Ron were still sleeping. Luckily,
Neville, Dean and Seamus were not there. Hermione leaned over Ron. She put her lips right up to his year. "WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She screamed. Ron's eyes shot open and he shot up. "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT FOR!" Ron yelled at her.
Hermione only smiled. Harry was awake now too. "Whats up Hermione?" Harry asked sleepily? Sirius! He is outside!"
Hermione said smiling. Ron was smacking his hand on his ear. "OY!?" He half said, half shouted. Hermione rolled her
eyes. Quickly did a little hearing helper spell on Ron. They all went sown stairs. It was raining so hard. It felt
like little mrbles falling on their heads. Hermione quickly spotted Sirius. "SIRIUS!" Harry shouted through the wind.
The big black do looked up. It sat up and wagged its tail happily. Harry covered him in the invisibility cloak and led him
inside.
"Password." the fat lady snorted. "Look at you children! You are soaking wet! WHY ON EARTH DOES IT SMELL LIKE WET DOG
IN HERE!" She shouted.
"Lemony Fresh!" Harry shouted. Annoyed at the Fat Lady's wailling.
Once they were in the boys dormitory, they took the cloak off Sirius. "Hello Sirius. What are you doing here!?"
Harry said backing away. Harry's godfather soon stoof before them. Well, I dont know, maybe I wanted to stop in
for tea and cookies!" Sirius retorted sarcastically. He was shivering from the cold and wet. Hermione got him some of
Ron's blankets. "I just came here to see if I could hide out here or something! They are after me in the Americas, so, I came back!"
Sirius said cheerfully. "American food sucks. It is terrible! I think that it is only is English who have any taste!"
Crookshanks came in. He curled up on Sirius lap and started purring. "Hey there old buddy! Long time no see!" He picked up the
cat and began stroking him.

Sirius stayed in the tower. They brought him food and drinks everytime they could. Even though he was a dog, he ate like a
cow. They were all finishing up their homework when Pig came in again. Ron stared at the letter. Hermione looked at him.
She took the letter from Pig mumbling something like."Stupid no good, Ron. Coward. Cant even read his own letters without
freaking out......"
Dear Ronni,
How ARE you doing! Sorry about the burns on the paper. I am at work right now. I want you to know that
you are my favorite brother and that I will always be here for you! I especially want you to remeber that if you ever
win, oh, I dont know, a trip for three to America! What a silly thought! I have little Norbert here with me! OUCH! The dragon just
bit me! Ha ha ha. Funny little creature! Anyway, I hope that you will remeber me when, well if, I mean, so long little bro!

Charlie
"That was wrong" Ron said shaking his head.
Monday morning. Down at breakfast, Ron, Harry, and Hermione were eating their breakfast when the post owls came in. The Daily Prophet
landed in front of Hermione. "RON!" She squealed in happiness.
'THE LUCKY LAD'
The winner in this month's drawing is Ronald Weasly. He has won a trip for three to America!
He will be staying in the Maryot of his choice, in the city of his choice, in the state of
his choice! But, because Ronald is an under age Wizard, one of the two lucky friends he will
take with, must be an adult. Congradulations Ronald Weasly!
Harry and Hermione stared at him for a little bit. "I love you Ron!" Hermione said quickly. "Are you my best buddy or what!?"
Harry said slapping Ron on the back. Hermione and Harry exchanged evil glares to each other behind Ron's back. Ron was still in
shock! HE, Ron, is going to America for two whole weeks! 'That is why Percy and Charlie are being nice to me! Now I remeber!
The last time Percy tried to be brotherly was when he wanted to me to do all of his chores so he could have more time to
worship Mr.Crouch. Now that I think about it, the only time Charlie had ever been nice to me was when he wanted the adress
of Lavender's older sister. That explains it all!'
"Ron, darling, Could I go with you on the trip to America!? I mean, I have ALWAYS loved you! If Krum hadnt asked me first, I would DEFINATLY,
had gone with you! You are so cute! I love you!" Hermione said, leaning her head on Ron's shoulder.
"Ron! Buddy! Who got you a date for the Yule Ball? I did. Yes. Who saved your ass when we went to go look for that mirror?""I did" Hermione cut in. Harry
glared at her. Wait, she was right! She did save him. "Well, who saved you in the Chamber of Secrets?" "I saved BOTH your sorry asses!" Hermione cut in
again. "Well, if it wasnt for my sorry, ass, you would still be a ROCK!" Harry yelled at her. "Well maybe if I wasnt going to the library to SAVE your
sorry asses, I wouldnt have become a rock now would I???" Hermione yelled back. By now, the whole hall was staring at them. Including the professors.
"Know it all" Harry hissed
"Smart ass" Hermione hissed back.
Ron was too busy thinking about where he would go. He didnt even realize that his two friends were kicking him instead of each other under the
table.
When they go back to the common room, Sirius was waiting near the couch. "Guess what Snuffles! I won a trip to America!" Ron said happily. Hermione and Harry
were still fighting. Ron didnt care. He was thinking of Hawaii, Chicago, New York, Dublin,no, wait, that is in Ireland.... Huston, San Francisco.
