It was 11:55 that night on privet drive and Harry Potter was silently
working on his homework, he had to do it when his Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin
were asleep. Every once in a while Harry would think of what life would be
like if he lived with his godfather, Sirius Black.A little over a year ago
Harry was close to getting a real home, but his one chance slipped away
like a rat. (Literally)
At 11:58 Harry closed his text book and stared at his lumonous alarm clock.
11:59, his eyes kept darting to the window, hoping he would get something from his friends, or his godfather.
12:00, Finally, Harry's birthday, he fell down on his bed, to find 4 owls sitting on it, one from Ron, one from Hermione, one from Hagrid and one from Siri-... no not from Sirius, it was from someone he didn't know. Where was Sirius's? What if something happened to him? Harry thought of terrible things that might have happened to him, Dementors, something might have found him!
"GET DOWN HERE AND EAT YOUR BREAKFAST!" Came Harry's aunt's voice from downstairs, Head still spinning with questions about what might have happened to Sirius, he went downstairs Harry dragged himself downstairs, though very hungry, having to follow Dudley's diet, (Which by the way wasn't working) Harry wasn't feeling up to eating.
"YOU!" Uncle Vernon snapped "Telephone!"
Harry picked up the telephone, hoping it was not Ron, last time he called he nearly blew up the telephone by yelling into it.
"Hello?" Harry said cautiously
"Harry!" came Hermione's voice from the other end
"Hermione!" Harry said "I thought it was Ron"
Hermione giggled, she obviously heard about it. "I just wanted to say Happy Birthday"
"Thanks Miony" Harry said and he looked at his Aunt and Uncle, they were watching his every move, he lowered his voice "I havent heard from Sirius for awhile" from the sound of it, hermione was looking around to make sure she was alone too.
"You think he's okay?" Hermione said, her voice lowered too.
"Not sure, I hope so"
"Are you gonna stay on all day?!" His Uncle yelled
"Gotta go Miony, I'll see you on the Hogwarts Express" and he hung up.
"Since when do you..." Uncle Vernon searched for a word instead of saying 'wizards' "Your kind use telephones?"
"That was Hermione, her parents are mug-er... normal"
Aunt Petunia's scream was heard from the garden and they all rushed out to see what was the matter.
A giant black shaggy dog was ripping up Aunt Petunia's garden.
"Sirius!" Harry said excitedly, this was a MUCH better present than anything bought in a store. Sirius was tearing up every flower in the garden, except, coincedently, the Lillies.
"GET OUT OF HERE" Uncle Vernon was yelling at the dog that was Sirius, who stopped instantly, tore up one more flower, gave a letter to Harry and ran off.
Harry's uncle didn't notice that Harry got a letter so Harry ran upstairs to read it:
Dear Harry,
Sorry I didn't get you a present, but I couldn't get to Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley, I was sort of busy, so, I was in the neighborhood and decided to give you something better, I'll see you soon!
Sincerely,
Sirius
"In the neighborhood?" Harry said
