AN: Thanx to the people who reviewed; Cassiopia, Lexie, Pleiades. I'm sorry this chapter is so short but I've had a really busy month for the past month and a half with school. I promise the next chapter will be a lot better then this one.

1:30 a.m

Rolling over onto his other side facing away from the sleeping form of his friend next to him he pulled the pillow around his head to try and muffle the sound of Sirius's snoring.

His mother was right when she said ' His snoring is loud enough to wake the dead.'

"Who's idea was this again?" He muttered rolling over again to look at Sirius and sighed before he got out of bed and shook Sirius causing the snoring to stop for about five seconds before it continued again even louder then it had been before.

"Sirius wake up!"

James cursed Sirius for being such a heavy sleeper as he shook him even harder. Trying hard to recall what Sirius's mother had once told him on how to wake him up he walked over to the window swearing he could hear something tapping at it but not sure since Sirius was muffling a lot of the regular night noises like the frogs and crickets and the hooting of owls that could normally be heard.

Looking out the window he saw three owls outside two who looked very impatient and the third one who looked very familiar because it was Mrs. Black's owl. He wondered how long they had been out there waiting because of Sirius's snoring.

'They probably have been out there waiting for hours'

He let the owls in and he saw to it that they had plenty water before he took the letters from them. One was addressed to Sirius while the other two were addressed to him. He opened the one from Mrs. Black first.

Dear James,

An important owl came for Sirius tonight so I sent him over to your house with Goobers. I sent Goober over not to just to show the other owl the way but to also remind you how to wake Sirius up. Just say the word 'bacon' and he will instantly wake up. I figured you'd like to wake him up since his snore is probably louder then a dragon's roar right now and driving you nutters. Well see you tomorrow.

Mrs. Black

James smiled making a mental note to thank Mrs. Black later.

"Hey Sirius. BACON!"

Sirius jumped up out of bed looking around confused expression on his face wondering why he had waken up so early when the sun hadn't even started to rise and why someone had said there
"Where? I don't smell bacon."

"Sirius this letter came for you." James handed to letter over to Sirius as he opened the other one that had been addressed to him.

After they both finished reading they both looked up at the same time at each other both was bacon but there was none.
knowing that they would be going to Hogwarts.
