Disclaimer: I don't own ANY of these characters. Except Julia. She's the
only one. Oh, and I own Humurus. But that's it. Well, okay, I do own Mike,
Lucy, and Luke. But that's beside the point. The point is that I don't own
any other character and they all belong to the great JKR! Oh, yeah, I also
own Kathy, Reggie, Sue and Sirius' dad (hmm, I haven't named him, have I?)
AND THAT IS IT! THE ONLY CHARACTERS I OWN!
*And a HUGE (!!!) thanx to Nessie, my ONLY REVIEWER! Hint, hint.
Sirius Black and ???- Chapter 5
"Lily!" James exclaimed, leaping to his feet.
"Hey James, hi Sirius. How's your summer?" Sirus smiled as James blushed.
"Uh, fine, thanks, er, and, ah, yours?" James squeeked. Sirus stifled a laugh and turned to Lily's friend Samantha.
"Hey Sam! Long time no see!" Sirius hugged his friend and fellow Gryffendor Chaser.
"I'm so excited." Lily said with a grin, sitting down beside James. "They say that this will be a game to rememeber." Samantha sat oppiste Lily on a folding chair. Mr and Mrs Potter had disappeared into the crowd, probably visiting Kathy.
"Oh, it will!" Sirius nodded eagerly. Soon they were all discussing the possible outcome of the game, for the second time that day.
"We so have this." Sam said with a roll of her eyes.
"I don't know, Germany's got some great players." James contradicted.
"Are you saying that England doesn't have what it takes?" Sam said threatningly.
"No, no, I'm just saying that you shouldn't be so sure. Anything can happen in a Quidditch game. You should know that, you play it too." James said calmly.
"Fine, you're right. But we'd better win this or else."
"Or else what?" Sirius teased, "You gonna go up to the whole Quidditch team and curse them all?"
"No, of course not!" She said rolling her eyes again. "Everyone knows I can't do a curse to save my life! But I will physically hurt each and every one of them." She confirmed confidently. Sirius laughed at her determaination. It was the same determaination that helped the Gryffendor team beat the Slytherin's in a blinding rain and lightning storm.
"Well, then, they'd better win." He concluded.

All too soon Kathy was coming over to tell Sirius that it was dinner. Sam and Lily ran off to their tent and Sirius called good-bye to James. He momentarily pondered where their other friends where, but was distracted by a delicious dinner, served by his aunt, and the arrival of his father.
"Dad!" Sirius yelled.
"Sorry I'm late." His dad apologised, lowering himself to the ground. "We had some trouble with some people who needed a Portkey to come here." His eyes sparkled.
"But David, that's not your department." Kathy said with a frown.
"Perhaps not. But they came to me, and I felt I needed to help sort them out."
"Why would they come to you, Dad? You don't work anywhere near that department! You're an Auror!" Humurus demanded.
"Well, the poor lads, very shy you see. Didn't want to go to some stiff, sharp, grumpy official, who's been working overtime because of this World Cup. So they came to the only person they knew that had authority." David's grinned at Sirius. Sirus just frowned.
"How old were they?" he asked.
"Oh, I'm terrible at judging ages, but I'd say about your age." David said vaguely as he helped himself to some potatoes. When Sirius continued to look confused he pressed on, "Say, aren't we missing two more?" He gave Sirius a meaningful look.
"Oh! Peter and Remus! You saw them? Are they okay? Is Remus okay? I didn't know if he was going to come after all!"
"Yep, he's coming, they were just delayed. Apparently someone at the Ministry forgot to book a Portkey for Mackriggen Alley. They should be here in, oh, nine minutes." His dad told him. Sirius lept up.
"I'm going to meet them, or they won't know where we are, and I know they'll hate asking the Muggle at the post." Kathy nodded and Sirius took off past the oddly shaped tents with gardens and chimnies. He grinned to himself; the whole gang was going to see England win the Quidditch World Cup! He couldn't wait to see the look on Humurus and Mike's faces tonight when they- Sirius grinned again. It's not just the Quidditch game we have to look forward to, he thought mischeviously. His thoughts traveled to the bag, hidden in his tent, just waiting to be opened. To be used.
