"SIRIUS GET UP RIGHT NOW AND GET YOUR LETTER!" A loud voice bellowed into Sirius head as the boy sat up and looked at the time. 10:45 flashed across the clock. HE looked out the window across from him, just to make sure the clock wasn't lying. Sure enough the sun stood proudly in the sky, lighting up the whole neighborhood. Sirius got out of bed slowly and opened the window. He looked down to see a couple of Muggle kids throwing rocks at the wall. People walked up and down the street and some other kids were playing basketball.
"GET UP, YOU LAZY PIG!!!" The voice yelled once again.
Sirius shrugged and stumbled down the stairs.
"Alright, I'm up." He said sitting down and starting to eat the food infront of the seat. Sirius's family, Mother, Father, and Brother, had already eaten and were being annoyed by an owl that wouldn't give the letter to them until Sirius got up. The owl was fluttering around their heads nibbling a some hairs every once in a while.
As soon as the owl saw Sirius it hopped over to him, bit his nose (probably as punishment for making him wait), and held out an envelope tied to its foot. Sirius ripped open the envelope, looked at the words "have been accepted" on the letter, tossed both the letter and envelope aside, and handed the list of stuff to his mother.
Mrs. Black looked over the list and asked, "Why are you handing this to me?" She slid it back across the table toward Sirius. Sirius, just for the heck of it, slid the list back over to his mother, and then him mother slid it to him once again.
"I assumed that you were going to do the shopping and send me off to Hogwarts for the school year," said Sirus, leaving the list on the table and shrugged and he ran his fingers through his matted hair.
"No, I'm giving you this," she handed him a purse, "and sending you off by flew powder to Diagon Alley." She was writing something on a piece of parchment, which she handed to the owl. "That way I won't even have to put up with you for the rest of today. You can. . .find a ride to King's Cross. There's enough money for your stuff and a room at the Leaky Cauldron, nothing extra."
Sirius glared at his family in general, stuck his tongue out at his brother, and walked over to the fire place, ready to get out of his gloomy house.
"Oh, Sirius," Regulus called tauntingly. "You forgot to get dressed." Sirius saw Regulus smirking as he (Sirius) turned around and ran back up the stairs. He quickly threw on the first thing he found, a black robe, then ran back down to the fire place and went to Diagon Alley.
He ended up in the Leaky Cauldrons fireplace, coughed a couple of times and walked out of the fire and to the man at the counter.
"I'd like a room for the rest of the day and the night.... and the rest of the summer." Sirius said. The man looked at him and smirked.
"How old are you?" He asked in a stuck up tone.
"11, what about you?" Sirius rolled his eyes. The man laughed and ignored Sirius's question, then pulled out a paper with "We do not sell rooms to minors."
"Then why don't you put that sign up so you don't waist your time?" Sirius asked.
"That's a good idea..." the man pulled out a wand and put the paper up. "And now you can go away. Now where's that lady... I want some ice cream." He said looking around.
"How about we make a deal. If I can get you ice cream within 20 minutes then you'll start selling roms to minors, but if I can't then you can kick me out forever." Sirius said.
"10 minutes in my favorite flavor." The man started to bargain.
"20 minutes, your favorite flavor, with my money."
"Okay, it's a deal. My favorite flavor is Unicorn, waffle cone, two scoops, and sprinkles."
"You're an expenssive man." Sirius said running out of the place and looking around for a map or the ice cream place. FInally he asked someone where it was, they directed him to the store, and Sirius, luck for him, didn't have to wait in any line and quickly got the ice cream. He then ran back to the Leaky Cauldron in 10 minutes.
"Boy, you got ripped off. It took you 10 minutes and you had to spend your own money. Hopefully you got extra." The man said taking down the sigh and handing Sirius a key, then starting to eat his ice cream. Sirius moped all the way up to his room and sat down on the bed. The rest of that day he spent moping in his room, thinking how he would buy what ever he didn't have money for.
