Ron looked up with surprise at the familiar shaggy figure. "Sirius!!! But
how....when....why?"
Sirius grinned. "Well, it's your birthday, and what none of you know is
that Dumbledore let me sneak in." He winked. "Well, go on, open it."
Ron opened it and let out a huge belly laugh, collapsing on the floor and panting for breath. Harry peeked over his shoulder and broke out into hysterics as well.
The other guests were curious by this time. Hermione reached in and pulled out a custom-made china figurine of a hippogriff boxer triumphant over a very blonde boy....
Ron tried to talk between his convulses. "You see........it was......like....i saw Draco being put down by that animal.....alll.....over....again.....it was ALMOST......as good as the white bouncing ferret....."
Harry's laughter increased in pitch. "God no, not the *gasp* ferret!! O my sides....."
