I love this story idea, hehehe, Sirius with a pet piranha.. how cute.. It's an idea suggested by Scarlett in my "Custom Fanfics" story, which has been deleted.. because I told Scarlett I made a promise to finish these quickly, and I cannot post under starla9 until I have been unlocked(see bio of starla9) I am uploading it under this name. Hope you like this story, randomness is my special talent.. Enjoy!!

It was a rainy, boring, utterly unremarkable day when Sirius stormed into Mugglesworth's Meat Shoppe.

"God damn it, I need some meat," he declared, holding a piranha fish (by the tail) in his right hand. It was pink and exceedingly ugly, and it kept snapping at Sirius with humunogous teeth.

Mr. Mugglesworth the 52nd looked perplexed. In fact, he was so confused that he spontaneously combusted and somehow mysteriously apparated to a sunny beach on the Hawaiian coast, a phenomenon that confuses all but somehow is very appealing to many.

Anyways, back to Sirius, drenched in rain, standing in the Mugglesworth Meat Shoppe holding a killer piranha all the while looking extremely hot. James, Lily and Scarlett (Lily's best friend from Beauxbatons, visiting and having earned a temporary marauder's membership) burst into the door, sending poor Sirius flying into a pile of boxes.

Sirius emerged from the boxes looking teary-eyed. "What are you trying to do? Kill me?!?!?!?!"

Lily smirked, then took the piranha from him. "No, Padfoot, but the idea is a little intruiging." Referring, of course, to the other night when a rather drunk Sirius had almost pushed Lily off the roof of the Shrieking Shack. A very long story, though, and to make a long story short, Lily was kind of mad. Kind of very mad.

"Hmm.. a piranha.. Sirius, why the hell do you have a piranha?" James did not seem fazed at all. Sirius, as we all know, did things like this all the time.

Scarlett, however, was not really very used to this. "A piranha.. in.. at.. in.. at.. what? Where? Uh.. right. Sirius, explain."

Sirius skipped over to Scarlett and began waltzing with her.

"Well you see, my darling, I love piranhas. They just happen to want to eat me." He twirled her. Suddenly, in a fit of utter clumsiness, he twirled her right into a wall.

Hearing the noise, Remus came out of the back room and walked over to the counter.

"How can I help- oh." Everyone was gaping at him. "Well.. how.. can I help you?"

"Remus.. you work here?" Scarlett asked while gaping.

"I guess you could say that." He grinned. "So.. how may I help you?"

Sirius helped Scarlett up off of the ground. Lily threw the piranha at Remus and it bit his hand off.

"Not to worry," smiled Remus. "It'll grow back at the full moon."

"Really?" Scarlett looked intruiged. "That must be useful."

"No, not really," Remus looked a little sad. "It just means that Lily cuts my hand off a lot. It doesn't even bleed."

"That's really disgusting, isn't it," Sirius piped in, with a mouthful of chips from a bag of chips that seems to have materialized out of thin air.

Remus ran from the room crying.

"Sirius, that was really mean." James looked teary-eyed.

"I know," said Sirius, happily eating chips.

"I'll go get Remus," offered Scarlett.

Sirius was now juggling various pieces of meat. "No, really, just leave him."

Lily couldn't help a little giggle. "It's his irritable time of month."

Scarlett was boggled. "Er.. you mean to say."

"Merlin, no," James started juggling along with Sirius. "It's just that there's a full moon in a couple of days.. He gets a little.. I suppose.. emotional right about now."

"Ok then," Scarlett and Sirius did the tango.

And that was that.. for now..
