Rusty Wand Work
Sirius' hearing was over and no owl, no word, nothing! Harry Potter paced back and forth in his small room on 4 Privet Drive. Sirius had gone to the ministry after Pettigrew was spotted in hope of being deemed innocent and his hearing ended, Harry checked his clock, 15 minutes ago.
"Boy, down, now!" His uncle Vernon bellowed from downstairs. Harry, with a final look at his open window jogged down.
"Yes? What is it Uncle Vernon?" Asked Harry whist taking a peek at the window to his left.
"Go outside and get the mail." After Harry had received his letter to Hogwarts Uncle Vernon had felt it necessary to seal the slot so no mail could possibly get through and had put up a mail box. ("Let us see those mangy owls open a box.")
"Yes Unc….." There, Harry saw through a window, hopping off a bike with his hair drawn back into a ponytail was Sirius decked out in leather and a huge grin on his face, his eyes twinkling and a bounce in his step. Harry went through an inner battle. Let Sirius come in and scare the wits out of his uncle or run out with the pretense of getting the mail, tell Sirius to wait and then sneak out the window. Uncle Vernon made the final decision for him.
"Boy, move now!" Uncle Vernon sneered, "I'm expecting a very important letter from…" There was a rhythmic knock at the front door. "Get that Boy."
"Yes Uncle." Harry grinned and ran to the door and when he opened it he was engulfed into a hug by Sirius.
"Harry, I'm free! You're coming to Remus' with me and we can live there until my place is ready and you can have your friends come over. I'm going to take you to quidditch matches and boy o' boy to we have to catch up. There's this nasty curse that changes your hair color to flash different colors and you can put it on the Slytherins and…" Sirius had said this all very, very fast and when he looked down at Harry he saw that his face was almost purple from lack of oxygen so Sirius let him go.
"Sirius, you're really free and I can come with you?" Harry asked.
"No Harry you can't come with me, I just came to say hello. Of course you are coming with me!" Sirius said with a grin on his face, "Go get your things." Harry turned and ran up the stairs and Sirius, for the first time, noticed Uncle Vernon in the room. "Why hello Mr. Dursley, do you remember me? I was at Lily and James' wedding, I was the best man?"
"We did not attend." Uncle Vernon replied stiffly. They had shown up but only for the shortest time imaginable and he did remember this character. He had been charming a rose to sing "Here comes the Bride." Before the ceremony.
At that moment Aunt Petunia entered with a tray of cookies and tea and when she saw Sirius she dropped the tray and froze. Tea flew all over and the cups shattered into a million pieces.
"Oh, let me help you with that." Sirius said, taking out his wand. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon went and backed into a corner of the room. Now Sirius was very intelligent and a great wizard but not having your wand for close to 15 years does make one a little rusty.
"Repairo." Sirius said and instantly the cups were repaired. A grin crossed his lips; he wasn't as rusty as he thought. "Floushia." Sirius muttered next, this spell was supposed to refill the cup with tea but instead a jet stream of water flew at the Durselys. Bony Aunt Petunia flew back from the force of the jet and Uncle Vernon was soaked. Sirius's mind went blank. He just for the life of him could not remember the counter charm and he quickly turned as to stop the jet from hitting them put instead it landed on a yelling Dudley ("Would you mind being quiet, I'm trying to watch television in here!") who was coming out of the kitchen with a big piece of chocolate cake on his plate. The plate, with the force of the water, flew forward and just as Harry came bounding down the steps with his trunk and Hedwig's cage (Hedwig was on an errand.) the cake hit Dudley full force in the face. Harry smiled at the scene and looked at Sirius whom was looking at his wand and begging it to stop (Please, Please stop, please. Come on, what more do I deserve. Please. I'm sooo sorry about this.). Harry snuck up behind him and whispered the counter spell against his own wishes but to Sirius' relief. Sirius looked as if a light had popped on in his head.
"Of Course!" and the steady stream stopped. "Let me clean this up for you, I'm so sorry. Just got my wand back and I'm a little rusty."
"No Sirius, I think they'll clean it up and with that Harry and Sirius walked out of 4 Privet Dr and into their futures. No loner alone but together, as a family.
