"They shouldn't have used THAT picture!" Sirus threw down the newspaper, Lupin and Harry gave him a look as he explained. "It's horrible! Just look at it!"

Harry looked at the article as Lupin began laughing:

-Black Stirs Trouble with Muggles-

"Black Sirus, known criminal to the wizard world, has made trouble with Muggles: kidnapping the young wizard Harry Potter from Pivet Drive last night. Ministry officials took hours in order to restrain a family of overly-large muggles, performing numerous memory charms. The muggle house which the young Harry Potter occupied was left in ruins, making some people suspects that more then one wizard was involved in this terrible event. No direct evidence points into this direction, but ministry officials are still searching.

Harry saw a picture of Sirus, blinking absently back at the page. He was much younger in the photograph, having slightly curly hair and a stubbed chin. He wore an odd-colored shirt as well. Lupin simply rolled his eyes, sitting back into the chair. He drank the rest of his drink, wiping a milk moustache away as Sirus snatched the cup away. "Sure, laugh now. I remember what your picture looked like a few years back."

Sirus waved his wand, suddenly making a photo album appear from one of the shelves. "If I recall, Moony, you had a certain grudge against pictures when you were younger."

Lupin began to stick out his tongue, but instead began pleading as Sirus opened the album. "Oh NO you don't! Don't show him those pict-"

Sirus attempted to whistle. "Oh, I'm sorry...were you saying something?"

Flipping through some pages, he came to a picture of him, Lupin and James together. Sirus had the odd-colored shirt on again, his hair even more curly then ever. James' hair was not much better, looking a lot like Harry's did; he was still wearing his Hogwarts robes. Lupin hid partly behind the two in a leather jacket, his hair spiked up a bit on the ends.

Lupin burst out laughing. "See how unreasonable he was back then, Harry? Horrible hair cuts, weren't they? Glad he got SOME of his sense back."

"Oh look whose talking, spiky."

"At least your father had fashion sense, isn't that right, Harry?" Sirus looked at Harry who was grinning back. He was about to say something else, but a sudden sound stopped him.

Someone was knocking on the door.

Sirus got up, giving Lupin a nervous look as he made his way towards the door. No one knew where Sirus lived...he thought no one knew..

Lupin followed behind, absently picking up a spatula on his way.

"What are you going to do with THAT?" Sirus whispered. "Beat him to death?!" He shook his head, opening the door...very..slowly....
