Sirius sat down at the table next to Nearly Headless Nick. He sighed, his head in the clouds.
"Aren't you happy Mr. Black ?"
He was jerked out of his dream world.
"Huh ?"
"Aren't you happy ?"
"I suppose so "
"What took you so long ? Up there ? You sat there for 5 minutes !"
"Uh It was nothing. Tell me Have you ever heard of James Potter?"
"James Potter ? No I don't think so Why ?"
"Well For example, on the train, I fell asleep. I had this dream There was stuff about people named Moony Wormtail Padfoot and Prongs, Animagus, and forever this guy who appeared to be my best friend He was really tall and had really messy black hair, and coffee brown eyes And then, at the end of my dream, a younger version of him appeared, and introduced himself to me. And his name was James Potter. And then, when I was sitting with the hat, it said I had the mind of a trickster, rather like James Potter !"
"I wouldn't just write that off, Sirius. Remember. Maybe someone is trying to tell you something."
"Maybe "
And then he went off into his dream world yet again.
This time, he found himself being rudely awakened by someone jabbing him- hard.
"Sirius ! Sirius ! Snap out of it !"
"Huh ? Oh. Hi Re.'
"I am glad to see you're so happy I'm in your house." He said dryly.
"You're in my house ?" He said sleepily. "Is my mom gonna bake us cookies ?"
"Not that house, Sirius. Don't you remember anything ?"
"I remember James Potter."
"James Potter ?"
"The father "
"The father ?"
"Of the boy "
"Which boy ?"
"The boy who lived "
Remus couldn't help it. He started to laugh. It was all so absurd ! James Potter, the boy who lived It was all a dream. All of it.
Sirius ate a lot that night. He couldn't understand why Remus kept laughing at him. He couldn't remember saying anything THAT funny. Oh well. He just sat there stuffing his face. Mashed potatoes. Roast Pork. Carrots. Steak and Kidney Pie. Fried Tomatoes Yum. He liked this Hogwarts place already ! After supper, he dragged himself ( and his now overly large gut ) up the stairs, and into his room. Remus followed. They chose beds next to each other, and Sirius' eyes shut as soon as he hit the pillow. Remus laughed into the night, listening to his chainsaw snoring, wondering if Lily would like Sirius quite as much if she could hear him now
"Lily?"
Lily looked up. There was a girl standing in front of her, with long blond hair, and deep blue eyes.
"Yes?"
"Hi My name's Daniella. But you can call me Dani."
"Oh hi."
Dani smiled.
"You are sort of scared Aren't you?"
"Of you ? no. Of Sirius ? yes."
"Sirius ??? You are scared of HIM ?" She started laughing.
"What?" She said, very confused.
"I have known Sirius since we were kids. We were practically in the cradle together. He is the funniest, weirdest, nicest, most abnormal person in the entire world!"
"I have never heard nicest and abnormal used in the same sentence."
"It's the only way to describe him."
"I see "
"Well Are you excited about Hogwarts?"
Lily looked around at all the happy faces feasting, making new friends
"Ya, I guess I am. I wasn't. I miss my old friends. The people I grew up with."
"I don't."
"You don't?"
"No. I have had bad experiences with muggle 'friends'".
"Aw Poor Dani." She said, making a pathetic 'sad' face."
They both burst out laughing.
Sirius, with his mouth full of food, looked up.
"Was o fugnsh" ( Translation : What's so funny ? )
This made them laugh even harder. They were practically falling off their chairs. Dumbledore looked over, amusment in his eyes. Oh, what a year this was going to be But something , or someone , was missing. Even he could tell

( This takes place in the third year )
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Sirius giggled like a girl. Lily shot a look at him, that clearly stated
"What did you do to him now?"
He shrugged, looking on as Snape ran around the class room, his hands over his face. Professor Dipstick looked up, and put a hand out to stop Snape. Lucius and Crabbe and Goyle were looking furiously around.
"Mr.Snape, please remove your hands from your face."
Snape shook his head.
"Please remove your hands !" He didn't sound like he was asking anymore.
Snape took his hands away. Everyone started laughing.
His already big nose was now growing even more bulbous. Faster and faster It was now the size of a small melon.
Dipstick ( he really wasn't a dipstick. He actually was quite smart ) looked around the class room, his eyes glinting. Everyone quieted down. They knew from two full years of experience that you don't mess with this guy. Not at all. Your life ( well, not really ) was on the line.
"Snape . Hospital Wing."
He ran out the room, and down the hall. Sirius was shaking with silent laughter.
"Who did this ?"
All of the Slytherins looked around wildly. But all the Gryffindors were laughing, so they couldn't choose just one to single out, and none of the Gryffindors would give one of their own away, not when the trick was that good So Dipstick couldn't condemn anyone. So he didn't.
"Next week, we will be learning cheering charms. Your homework is to research the charm Cheeric Natulla , the proper pronounciation, the advantages, disadvantages, and give an example for each. To be handed in , in essay form, on Monday. That gives you the weekend. Please finish, for anyone who doesn't will well that is for me to decide. Class dismissed !"
Sirius ran out of the class room as fast as he could. Lucius grinned malevolently he knew. Lily ran out after him, as did Remus and Daniella.
"Sirius !" They all called. To no avail. They didn't know where he went. He had run up, and across the fifth floor, to somewhere unknown. They 3 of them went looking for him. They had seen the demonic glint in Lucius' eyes, and they had to warn him. But, it was pretty funny. Only Lily was really worried. Remus knew Sirius too well to really care, even though they were best friends, and Daniella was happily envisioning Sirius being beaten to a pulp. (hehehe rubbing her fingers together gleefully ). They had been searching the corridors for a while, when all of a sudden, they heard
"Psst ! You guys ! Re ! Lily ! Dan !"
They whirled around. There was nothing there but an overly large mirror.
"Re ! Lil ! Dan ! Over here !"
But there was no one. It sounded like Sirius. But Sirius wasn't there. No one was there. Unless Peeves had become very good at imitating voices.
"Sirius ? Sirius ! Where are you ?"
All of a sudden, the mirror moved, and Sirius' head popped out. Lily screamed. Re and Dani clamped their hands over her mouth, and dragged her over to the statue. Sirius ushered them inside.
They found themselves at the head of a tunnel, that was sloping downward. In the distance, they could see steps.
Lily shook the hands off of her.
"Sirius ! Where did you go?"
"Here."
"I was worried."
"I expected you to be."
"Oh. Thanks a lot Sirius. I really appreciate it."
"You know you love me."
"You're lucky I do." ( They were dating at this time, if you hadn't figured that out yet )
"Oh gag me with a spoon !" Remus said.
Sirius grinned.
"I wanna show all of you something."
He grinned again, and pushed them all into the corridor. As they walked, Remus told Sirius that Lucius was after him. Sirius looked happy to hear this.
"I figured he would be. But right now, he was other things to attend to. Like watermelon."
"Watermelon?"
"My new name for Snapie." He paused. "Ah ! Here we are."
They had reached the top of the steps. Sirius pushed the door open. And Remus went pure white, and fainted dead away .
