Sirius Black's clock started yelling at him. He had forgotten to
press the little red button that read, "Off." But as forgetful as he was,
he forgot to press the off button.
"Shut up," he groaned to it. It didn't shut up.
"Get up! Rise and shine! You should be dressed by now! GET UP!!!!" it yelled. "HURRY!" Sirius grabbed his wand on the bed table and blasted the clock with it. He sat up and stretched.
"I hate that thing. I'm going to kill James. Some birthday present- it's more like birthday torture," mumbled Sirius. He stood up and slowly walked into the bathroom. He looked in the mirror. "Shoot, another zit. Where's that wand… ah! Here it is." He pointed at the small zit and said, "Zitaronable." The zit turned a bright orange then disappeared, still leaving a little orange left on the skin.
He brushed his brown hair and walked over to his dresser. Sirius pulled out a pair of nice deep red colored robes, a white T-shirt, and jeans. He put his clothes on and then went back into the bathroom. He brushed his hair again (no matter how many times his friends tried to tell him he was wrong, Sirius always brushed his hair before and after he got dressed).
As Sirius was fixing breakfast (bacon and scrambled eggs) his barn owl flew in through the open window. She dropped two items and went into her cage on a small table in a corner of the kitchen. Sirius picked up the two letters and read the first one:
Dear Sirius Black,
We shall not be sending our owls to you with the Daily Prophet until you pay. An owl shall come to collect the money you owe.
If this keeps up we have no choice but to get the Ministry Of Magic involved. Write back if you wish to not be delivered the newspaper.
Sincerely,
The Daily Prophet Company
"It's the owl's fault that I'm not paying! It doesn't threaten me like everyone else. That's probably the owl to collect my money. Let's just hope I don't owe them too much, I've been running low on money since I got fired from Golden Gate. All because I lit the Minster Of Magic's wife's hair on fire," complained Sirius. A screech owl flew through his window and landed near Sirius on the table. He held out a small pouch and a note. Sirius read the note.
Dear Sirius Black,
Because you have not been paying for the Daily Prophet we have sent this owl to collect the money you owe us. You must give five gallons to him.
Sincerely,
The Daily Prophet Company
"Five gallons!" bellowed Sirius. "Hold on. Let me go get my money. Five gallons!" He marched upstairs and looked around for the gold. He finally found five gallons buried under the ashes of his blasted clock. He ran back downstairs and stuffed the money into the pouch.
"There's your money," he snapped. The owl left. "Hey! I didn't get the Daily Prophet! Come back you stupid bird!" he shouted, sticking his head out the window. He went to go turn over the bacon but he couldn't. "I'm stuck! Somebody help! I'm stuck! Uh- oh… the bacon." He heard sparks and knew it was on fire. "My bacon, my bacon!" Finally, he got his head inside and ran over to the bacon.
"Where's my wand?" he said. Then he remembered it was upstairs in his bathroom. Sirius ran up and got his wand then ran back down and started yelling every spell he could think of that had to do with water.
After a while, it all died down and Sirius (without his bacon) sat down at his table. He picked up the other letter and read it:
Padfoot-
Tonight's the night! Come down to my place. I got to make sure everything's perfect! Come at about three o'clock, okay?
-Prongs
James was about to propose to Lily. James was making a huge deal about it, but Sirius knew she would say yes. They had known each other since their first year at Hogwarts and had been going out on dates for years! Sirius put that down at ate his scrambled egg (without the bacon).
Sirius had a girlfriend. She was wonderful. Nice, pretty, funny, pretty, everything. But they hadn't known each other for more than three years. So he couldn't ask her to marry him- yet. In fact he was going on a date that night. Sirius made sure it was the same place that James and Lily (the Golden Gate- a very fancy restraint) were going so he could keep an eye on them.
Just as he was finishing up his eggs a beautiful snowy white owl flew in. It was Emily's (his girlfriend's) new owl. She dropped a letter. Sirius picked it up and read:
Sirius-
I am so sorry, but my cousins from America are coming to town and they want to stay a night or two. I can't go to dinner tonight because I need to clean the house and fix a good dinner for them. I am SO sorry! Maybe another night, OK?
Emily
"She can't do that to me! I need an excuse to watch over Prongs and going on a date with her was it! This is not good," Sirius said.
He grabbed some parchment laying around on the table and scribbled down:
Emily-
Prongs (Sirius crossed that out because he remembered Emily had never understood their names for each other) James is going to propose to Lily tonight at Golden Gate. I wanted to go there so I could watch and have a beautiful dinner with you. Oh well, I understand that you can't help it. I'll just have to go with my other girlfriend- I'm just joking, I have no other! Maybe some other time we can go there.
I'll always love you-
Sirius.
He gave that to her owl. She flew off with it in her beak leaving a very sad Sirius. He would just have to find another way to spy on them, that's it.
He walked upstairs to go brush his teeth, still thinking of what to do.
"Shut up," he groaned to it. It didn't shut up.
"Get up! Rise and shine! You should be dressed by now! GET UP!!!!" it yelled. "HURRY!" Sirius grabbed his wand on the bed table and blasted the clock with it. He sat up and stretched.
