That evening, Sirius refused to get out of the bed and even to go to dinner (major crisis). His friends knew this was really bad. They went to dinner without him to discuss what they were going to do.
"We have a big problem on our hands boys, Sirius isn't eating. This looks bad," James started.
"What will we do?!" Peter squeaked dramatically.
"How 'bout we get a new little friend for him?" suggested Remus smartly.
"I knew you were a genius! Let's do our Marauder's Dance!" James exclaimed. The three boys stood up and danced uncontrollably around their seats.
Peter took a fork and twirled it around like baton and clumsily dropped it on the floor. James danced over to the Slytherin table and shook his booty in Snape's face. Remus pulled him back to the Gryffindor table and danced there for about 2 more minutes.
They then sat down, panting, and talked about what they should give him. Remus suggested that they give him a cat since they're usually not too hard to take care of.
"Brilliant idea Remus! A cat! He'll love it!" Peter said excitedly. They did the Marauder's High-5 and then finished up their dinners. They then sent out an order form for a Siamese cat and went to bed.
The next morning, the boys rushed to breakfast (Sirius refused to go but asked the boys to bring him back food) and impatiently waited for their parcel.
"Where's our bloody cat?!" James demanded.
"Maybe he was 2 Day Guaranteed Fed-Exed instead of Owled?" asked Peter.
James and Remus had confused looks on their faces and were about to ask him about what he just said but right then a big cage fell from 4 owls' legs and onto Peter's plate of food.
"Aw! I was about to eat that too!!" he whined. Remus tore off the packaging and grabbed the cage out of it. Inside was a rather ugly looking feline with dark brown paws and tail with a cream colored body full of short fur.
"Uh, are you sure that's a cat Remus?" Peter asked nervously. He was never too fond of cats, they frightened him. "It looks quite, abnormal? I thought cats were only black or orange?"
Remus and James rolled their eyes and picked up the cage and walked toward their dormitory. Peter grabbed some food for Sirius and followed them. Once in the room, Peter gave the food to Sirius and they all watched him eat it hungrily.
"We have something we'd like to give to you Sirius. If you don't like it, just tell us, and we'll understand, but try to give him a shot, okay?" James said.
"Uh, its a girl..." Remus corrected. He handed Sirius the cage and Sirius
opened the door. Then he cautiously poked the feline and saw that it seemed harmless, so he poked it even more. The ugly Siamese cat sprang out and started running around the room madly. She hissed at all the boys and they all jumped on Sirius' bed. She remained on the floor and continued to hiss menacingly but then started
advancing up the sheets. Peter was so frightened that he fainted and fell on the floor. The cat then jumped on him and sat on his stomach proudly.
"Thank you guys, but I don't think I want him..." Sirius started.
WOOF! *Cat scratches blanket*
"What in the name of Merlin did that cat just do!? Did it bark?!" exclaimed Remus, his eyes glued on the unusual specimen.
James quickly stunned the advancing cat and threw it back in the cage. He sighed a big sigh of relief and the three still conscious friends sat next to Peter on the floor.
"We're sorry Sirius, we didn't know you didn't like cats..." Remus apologized.
"Its okay guys, just don't ever bring a cat in here again."
And with that, Sirius went on his bed and covered his head again.
"We have a big problem on our hands boys, Sirius isn't eating. This looks bad," James started.
