/IMPORTANT!/
Im thinking of bringing Sirius back from the dead. It'll be some lame scheme like, 'someunspeakables finds him floating around behind the vale..'. cause' I don't want how he came back the plot of the story. Its not important how he came back, but that he's back. So what do you think? Should doggy-dude come along for the ride?
And check out my homepage, it's my favourite band's website and it gives you music to listen to while you read lyrics, makes it easier to imaging Harry singing a song when your listening to it! Anyway, the band is called Blindside, the song pitiful, OMG, its amazing! Have fun! Make sure you watch th INTRO! Vary important!
Chapter 4
Pitiful (song by Blindside)
Harry ran down the front hall to open the door for who he was sure was Hermione. He grabbed the knob, turned it and pulled it open and grinned. Hermione stood on the front step with two large backpacks, one swung over each shoulder, smiling up at Harry.
"Hey! Come in!" Harry said returning the smile.
Fifteen minutes latter they where back in the living room. Harry, Ron and Hermione stood in one corner of room talking while Fred, George and Arn where entertaining one another, every once and a while a burst of insane laughter was emitted from one of that group. Kira, Indigo and Ginny were giggling about something on the couch. Pete, who had run across the street to his house to grab his beloved bass and Harry's electric guitar, sat on one of the chairs playing a tune he'd been working on.
"Harry? Have you got any sheet music for that one song you read to us in the van coming back from London? Cause' I need some new material for the tour. We can't play all the same stuff over and over." Pete said ceasing his playing and turning to Harry.
"Yeah, there in my trunk which is still in your van though. Weren't we gonna go skate?" Harry said just remembering there former plans to take to the ramps.
"Yes!"
"Sorry, but what are we doing?" Hermione asked with a raised eye brow.
"We have plans to go skateboarding at this new skate park that they've been telling me about." Harry said cheerfully draping his electric guitar over his shoulder, and flicking his board, that he had dumped on the living room floor, into his hands.
"We gotta go across to my place so me and Kir' can grab our boards." Pete said following Harry to the front door. Harry opened it and stepped back so the others could file past.
"What about me?" Arn said, "My boards at home!"
"You can use my old Mullen Almost." Kira said and the three of them ran across to Pete and Kira's house.
"They'll catch up in a moment." said Harry to the remaining Weaslys as he locked the door behind him. "We'll start going." And he lead the way across the Dursley's lawn onto the street. They stood in a long line that took up most of the street. Their group soon broke in two, Harry, Ron and Hermione were talking about what ever witches and wizards talk about, while Indigo, Ginny and the twins were joking around and getting to know each other. They got to about the end of the block when the thunder like sound of skateboards rolled through the street. Harry turned, grinned as he saw Kira standing on her board, video camera in hand and hair trailing elegantly behind her. Arn and Pete followed in her wake.
They caught up with an exchanged, "Hey!" or something along those lines.
They started down the road with Arn and Pete trying to show Ron and Hermione how to use a skateboard with all of Ron's siblings laughing there heads off as Ron landed on his ass after attempting to push off. Harry and Kira let them use their skateboards and were walking slightly apart from the group, hand in hand. Something bright up above caught Harry's eye. He looked up and saw Headwig sailing towards him in all her glory. The sun reflected off her white plumage, making it seem as if she was glowing. A small parcel was fixed to her leg and a note was clutched in her pearly beak. He held an arm out to her, and the said letter turned out to be two letters which she disposed into Harry's outstretched hand. One was from Lupin and the other, Hagrid. Harry pocketed the letters, and untied the small, dark box from the owl's leg. It was a perfect square and had a latch on one side, there was a handle on the top and narrow holes on the sides. Harry almost dropped the box when he felt something move within it.
Uh-oh! He thought, any thing like this accompanied by a letter from Hagrid could only mean one thing, Animal, which can be translated as, Run for your lives!
"Um guys? We've got a problem." Harry said staring fearfully at the small box containing what he hoped never got any larger. But then Hagrid's beasts didn't need to be big to be dangerous.
"What? What did you get?" Kira said from beside him. The others came over to see what was going on.
"Quelque chose de l'enfer." Harry said warily in answer.
"What?" Ron looked at Harry like he was crazy.
"Its french. It means 'Something from hell." Hermione said before realising something, "Why did you say something from hell?"
"Parce que c'est ce qui est il."
"Harry would you speak in a way that we can all understand you." Fred asked.
"Not that this is much worse than before." George added mater-of-factly.
"Merci George,vous m'ont donne le raison le parler cette maniere pour le reste de jour!" Harry said sarcastically, receiving annoyed and confused looks from his friends. "Ce qui? Le moi n'a pas fait la merde!"
"Merde? Iv never heard that word, what does it mean?" Hermione asked.
"It means 'shit' Hermione." Harry said laughing.
"Oh."
"What exactly did you say?" Ron pressed.
"I said, "Thank you George, you have given me a reason to speak french for the rest of the day.""And than after you were all staring at me I said, "What? I didn't do shit!"
"Dude you have got to teach me all the swear words in french!" George said laughing.
"Yeah, so we can swear our selves stupid in front of mum without getting in trouble!" the other twin grinned with a dreamy look in his eye, obviously picturing it in his mind.
" Sure." Harry shrugged. "Um, we probably shouldn't open this out in public, lets get back to my place."
"But I think im just getting the hang of this thing! Whoa!" Ron said standing on Harry's board but only to have it fly out from under him.
"Yeah and do you know what I think? I think you look way better down there on you ass!" George (A/N: Did you know my brother's name is George? Lol!) said teasingly.
"Shut up."
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
They got back to the house and were now all staring fixedly at the shuddering box Harry had set on the coffee table in the centre of the room.
"I think I'll just open the letters first." And with that he took the two letters from his pocket, he decided to read the one from Lupin. He took it from the envelope and read,
Dear Harry,
Have you opened Hagrid's present yet? Well if you haven't I wont ruin it for you, but I do wish you good luck with it. You weren't supposed to receive it until your b-day, but since your probably not going to be in the country then, we decided it best Hagrid not leave it at headquarters till you get back. Molly is falling in love with it, and if we have it here any longer she'll claim it as her own.
Anyway, I do you hope you have a wonderful time in North America with your new (scratched out word that looks like 'pet') gift.
Your sincerely;
Remus J. L.
"Hmm." Harry did not know what to make of it, it was obvious they would be joined by some animal or other, he just hoped it didn't eat them all in there sleep.
"Oh Harry just open the box!" Kira said impatiently from his side.
"Yeah, Harry. Come on, you know that saying, 'stalling delays finality'? Just get it over with!" Pete agreed.
"Alright, alright, but im warning you to take cover."
They all did, diving behind the furniture as Harry crept toward the box. He attentively pulled the latch back and opened the little door. Harry stepped back immediately staring at the opening. Eight pairs of eyes were poking out from various hiding places around the room. Then they saw it. Two large amber eyes touched with red and gold, burned from within the box. Harry was tempted to shut it up again but he couldn't move. The eyes were followed out by a fury body. It looked just like a really small cat, except for the feathery wings and colouration of course. It was all black, bar the tips of the ears and tail, which were a shiny red. The wings had strange red markings on them but otherwise they too were black
It turned it's big eyes to Harry and let out a soft,
"Mew?"
This is from Hagrid? Absolutely Pitiful.
