A Rude Awakening

The clock in Sophie's room struck 2:00am. Suddenly, Sophie heard something around her that made her jump awake.

"Nasty little Gryffindor girl. Barging into Madame's house." Sophie sat bolt upright and looked straight into the dark where two large yellow eyes were staring at her and she screamed. Ten seconds later, Sirius was in her room and he flipped the lights on. Kreacher, the Black's house elf was standing at the foot of the bed holding a picture frame that had come from somewhere. When he saw Sirius, he tried to shove it under his tea cozy shirt, but it was way too large.

"OUT!" Sirius shouted at it. The house elf scurried out of the room with a quiet, "Nasty little Gryffindor boy." Sophie remained huddled on her bed. "This house is demented!" Sophie yelled.

"I warned you to lock your door!" Sirius shouted at her.

"I'm sorry I forgot!" She stared right into Sirius' eyes.

"That was the reason. Kreacher likes to wander into people's rooms. Not pleasant. Really, its not." He stated. They sighed, and went back to bed.

The next day was just as bad as the one before, yet it felt better to the both of them for some reason.

The following Monday they all took the Hogwarts Express back to the school. Sophie was glad to be back, even if it did mean homework again.
