This chapter has been pissing me off severely. It keeps cutting bits out. As I'm sure you've noticed. Please review this. I'm beginning to tire of it.
The floor of Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom was not the best place to read a private note. There was a Ravenclaw couple making out in one of the cubicles, there was a cauldron with mouldy potion inside it lying in the middle of the floor, and the only dry place to sit was in a sink. The note was unusual for Sirius, the writing was neat, and he had bought parchment, instead of just writing on newspaper.

I've given this note to Alexander Dylan to give to you, so if you got it from anyone else, be cautious. Alexander hasn't told Severus I'm in Hogsmeade. The big hill behind the town itself, the cave at the top.
Alexander's been feeding me. Nothing special, just as much as he can spare. It's usually Muggle takeaways, but I rather like the Chow Mien now. Beats rats, anyway. He's told me about everything going on at Hogwarts. Severus probably told him everything. He told me you're going to the Yule Ball with Draco Malfoy. Not exactly surprised. Lucius had a thing for you at one point didn't he?
Harry Potter and his friends know where I am. I talked to him through the fire before the First Task. He's been planning to visit me. I was wondering if you could be there as well, and we could tell them everything together. I know you won't want to. But I've been really thinking about it, and I feel it's better if he knows who you are.
Do you know what the second task is yet? Alexander hasn't very many details about it. He says it involves an egg, but it could involve a unicycling monk and he still wouldn't notice.
Harry's been telling me a lot about you. He quite likes you. Not to extent that he would even think of asking to the Yule Ball, but I think he's admiring from a distance. He's a bit worried as well. He told me you went a bit weird in a DADA class, but he explained that it was about the Unforgivables. I understood then. I didn't tell him, of course not, but I think he thinks that Voldemort killed your parents or something.
Have a good time at the Ball tonight, I was considering going in dog form, but I decided against it. I was sorely tempted to bite Severus. He'll be in the bushes with Alexander, no doubt.
Merry Christmas.
Sirius.
