"I'm so excited!" Jay-Dee siad through a mouth of toast. "After hearing the three of you talk about quidditch for the last three months, I'm finally going to see a match! Where's Penny?"
"She said something about needing more beauty sleep," Georgina said.
"When's the beauty supposed to kick in?" Harrison sniggered. "Ouch! That hurt Jay-Dee!"
"Good!"
"What are you teo doing?" Georgina asked.
"Defending Penny's honour!" Jay-Dee insisted.
It was at this point Penny entered the Great Hall, chatting to two middle aged men.
"Are they who I think they are?" Georgina said.
"I think so," Harrison said.
"So, what's with the geezers?" Jay-Dee asked.
"Jay-Dee do you have any idea who they are?" Georgina asked in horror.
"Nope."
"You mean after all those stories of You-Know-Who and Sirius Black and Remus Lupin nothing sunk into your thick skull?" Georgina asked.
"Did you expect it to?"
"Hi guys," Penny said. "This is Sirius Black and Remus Lupin".
"Nice to meet you" said Georgina.
"Yeah" said Harrison.
Jay-Dee stared at then in awe."Wow. Your that guy who can turn into a dog" she said looking at Sirius.
Sirius looked a bit taken aback. "Well I suppose that's one of putting it..."
Jay-Dee looked at Lupin. "And you're the werewolf?"
Reums looked surprised. "Uh... yeah..."
"Cool sir!"
"Jay-Dee you can't say that!" Georgina said in horror.
"Why not? Is it fun?"
"Jay-Dee you can't ask that!"
"Why not? I wanna know. This could be an educational experience."
By this point Sirius had turned his head away and was trying not to laugh.
"Jay-Dee! Werewolfs grind people's bones to make their bread and eat their vital organs!"
At Harrison's mention of vital organs Remus turned his head and paled. Jay-Dee decided it was time to change the topic.
"Mr Black, Harrison and I have a business proposition for you."
"I'm listening," Sirius said, an evil look in his eyes. "I'm listening."
"What? What business proposition?" Harrison asked outraged.
"Shut up Harrison! I'm planning it, all you have to do is pay!"
"Say what?"
"Anyways, Mr Black, we'll give you ten galleons if you do something horrible to Snape."
"Snape? I'll do it for free!"
Remus rolled his eyes. "Great role model you are Sirius."
"Aw leave him alone Mr Lupin, I think he's cool!" Jay-Dee said looking at Sirius with admiration in her eyes. Sirius grins at Remus who just moans.
"Don't inflate his incredibly large ego," Remus moaned.
Penny decided it was a good time to change the subject. "Are you two coming to the quidditch match?"
"Yeah. And if I can get the loud speaker off Hermione I'll be commentating!" Sirius sniggered. "Who's playing Penny?"
"Hufflepuff and Gryffindor."
"No!"
"What's wrong Mr Lupin?"
"Sirius is so biased!"
"Is that so bad?" Harrison asked.
"Not really," Sirius grinned.
"For Sirius that means, 'Yes it is'." Lupin groaned.
"We'll see you there!" Penny waved as the four left the hall.
"Don't forget our deal!" Jay-Dee waved too.
Remus turned to Sirius. "You're not really going to..."
Sirius grinned evilly. "Well I can't disappoint the kids can I? They are our future!"
"Perhaps," Remus said with a sigh, "that's why you never had children of your own."
Sirius laughed.
"Well it's a great day for quidditch!" Sirius announced. "Your last announcer met an unfortunate accident, and I'm the replacement! And why are you looking at me like that Snape? Anyway, it's two great teams, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor (although Gryffindor is a lot better)! I'm predicting it will be a five minute match with Gryffindor catching the snitch! What do you mean I'm not allowed to say things like that? Honestly you're going to take all the fun out of this Hermione!"
Remus massaged his temples. "This is gonna be interesting..."
"Refereeing today's mach is Professor Potter, who was a great seeker - I swaer I'll kill you if you don't stop that Snape - when he was at Hogwarts!"
"Not that Sirius is biased or anything," Jay-Dee sniggered from the stands. "I like this guy more and more!"
"So who's the Hufflepuff seeker Penny?" Georgina asked.
"Phillip Fudge."
"Fudge?" Harrison frowned. "Where have I heard that name before?"
"Cornelius Fudge," Penny said. "The previous Minister for Magic."
"Oh, so this Fudge is his son?"
"Yeah."
"And they've started! Hufflepuff has the quaffle and chaser Penkin heading towards the - hey nice work by Gryffindor Keeper Sudou who hit Penkin on the head and now has the quaffle! What? Harry you can't call a foul against Gryffindor! Stop laughing Snape! That's it! Your gonna die!"
Sirius threw down the microphone and started running to Snape. Professor Weasley and Remus grabbed the back of his robes, Sirius was still close enough to the microphone for the entire stands to hear.
"You have to let me Hermione! He can't say things about Harry! It's a matter of honour! Let me go! Besides he's a slimy, greasey haired big nosed git!"
A roar of laughter went through the Quidditch stands. Snape looked furious.
"Okay, okay I'll stop!" Sirius stopped struggling. "I'll curse him from here god dammit!" Sirius put his arm into his robe but Remus grabbed him and shook his head. "Come on Remus! You hate him too! And so do you Hermione!"
It was at this point they realised everyone could hear them and all three slowly looked towards Snape who looked livid.
"Er.." Sirius faltered. "Anyway they're still flying around up there! I'd really like to know what's going on with the Hufflepuff seeker's broom. It looks pretty bodgy."
Penny looked up to the sky and the Hufflepuff seeker. He was holding onto his broom which was bucking and jerking at a high speed.
"He's trying to go down," Penny commented as Fudge aimed the handle down towards the ground. "But it's not listening," she added as he started zooming around again.
"Holy shit!" Sirius yelled.
Fudge's brrom has zoomed out of the stadium and straight into the Whomping Willow, minus a rider.
Everyone looked at the ground of the stadium where Fudge lay, not moving.
"She said something about needing more beauty sleep," Georgina said.
"When's the beauty supposed to kick in?" Harrison sniggered. "Ouch! That hurt Jay-Dee!"
"Good!"
