A/n Took me long enough, but finally here comes chapter 4. I was working on
my other story. Okey day. Here is the chapter.
Chapter 4 A visit from Sirius
Harry was awoken harshly at 5:45, by Aunt Petunia.
"Get up! Go work on the garden. Then find yourself another job." His aunt commanded him
"Yes Aunt Petunia." Harry replied
Harry showered and shaved, etc. and went out to the garden. Harry weeded, planted, and potted plants until 7:15 where he went off to work. Harry came into work and was immeadiately ushered into the reptile house. Harry entered the cage with a boa constricter and began to clean.
"Hello. My name is Harry Potter." Harry said to the snake in parseltounge.
"Hello Harry Potter, I have no name. How can you speak to me?" the snake responded
"I am a parselmouth. I am one of the very few people who can speak to snakes. I am here replacing Tim's old job. What does he usually do?" Harry asked
"Usually he cleans the clear thing in front of the pen and cleans my feces up. Then he feeds me."
"Thank you. What should I call you?" harry asked
"I don't know. Call me what you wish."
"How about Meradar?" Harry asked
"I could deal with that." Meradar replied
"I have to go now Meradar. I will be back later." Harry told the snake
"Bye Harry Potter. I will see you again."
Harry let loose two rats and closed the door behind him. The other snakes were not very conversational. Harry managed to have everything finished two hours early. It was 12:15.
"Perfect. On my lunch hour I can find a new job. Aunt Petunia will be happy."
Harry opened the door to the office to let Angie know he was leaving. Harry pushed open the door to the office.
"Well aren't you a scraggly feller. Here have some ham." He heard Angie's voice in the other room
"Mrs. Angie?" Harry called
"Hello Harry dear. Come on in. A stray dog came in awhile ago. I was just talking to him." Angie replied
"O.k. I was just letting you know that I'm heading out for awhile. I got my work done ahead of time. I'll be back in about an hour and a half."
"Just in case anyone asks where will you be going honey?" Angie asked
"Oh. I've got to get a second part-time job. My uncle died and I have to get my aunt money to live on or she'll give me the boot." Harry answered
"Oh. Could you take this one for a walk for me? I'm really not allowed to leave the office.." She asked
"Uhh sure. Where is he?"
"Over there. I'll get a lead." She pointed to a scraggly black dog in the corner
Harry reckognized Sirius instantly. "Uhh. I won't need one mrs. Angie"
"Ok pumpkin. Good luck finding a new job."
"Thanks."
Harry walked out the door and began to walk back towards Surrey. With a small ::pop:: Sirius was in human form next to him.
"Hey Sirius." Harry said, giving his godfather a large hug and not on purpose, picked him up.
"Hello Harry. You've grown up since I saw you last. Could you put me down though?" Sirius replied
"Oh. Right. Sorry."
An hour later Sirius, in dog form and Harry walked back into the office. Harry had a new job, a greeter for a fancy Italian resturaunt. Harry had in his bag a tuxedo, which would be taken from his first few months of pay. (The restaurant was called Lestardo's.)
Harry finished up his job, Sirius following him all the while. When Harry came back to the office at 3:45 (The job ended at 4) he was tired. Dead tired.
"Harry? Could you keep the stray for awhile?" Angie asked
"Uhh. Sure. My aunt won't like it much though. By the way, I named him Snuffles."
"Ok. I think I found a way to get your aunt to let him stay. Say that taking care of Snuffles for awhile is a training program. You take good care of him, you get a raise. Get the picture?"
"Brilliant Angie! Bloody brilliant."
"Thank you."
"I'd better head for the restaurant. I start at five."
"Bye Harry."
Once the zoo was out of sight, Sirius turned back into himself.
"Harry, I have a bit of business to tend to. I will see you before you go home."
"Bye Sirius."
Sirius apparated and was gone. Harry reached the restaurant. Harry changed into his tux and shaved. Harry greeted people and brought them to their tables for awhile before he saw a flash of red at the rear of the waiting line. Several flashes. The Weasleys were here!
Yay! Another chapter gone. Time to post and write more : ^ )
