Youth and Love

Chapter 4:

A Dog

Daphne awoke, with an uncomfortable crick in her slender neck. There was scratching at her window.

'Damn owls!' she thought annoyed, looking at the snowy owl, gazing back at her innocently.

The first page had a giant picture of Harry Potter on it. The caption above it read THE DARK LORD FINALLY DEFEATED. 'Defeated!?'

Now there probably would be no need for aurors, she thought angrily. She needed this job, too!'

As she read on, though, she discovered that many of Voldemort's minions were running around, and that they needed to be captured. She became instantly happier.

She was actually happy enough, that she wrote a letter to her mother.


Daphne was now driving to the Leaky Cauldron. She always enjoyed the pub (though she couldn't drink) and the bartender, Tom, was so kind. Her radio was blaring out through open windows, causing people near the car to stare.

She looked off the road for a moment, back at her stuff, when she heard a very loud bark.

"HOLY SHIT! CRAP! FUCK!" she screamed at this huge black dog that was barking like mad, only inches from the front of her car.

She threw open the door, and marched out to the animal.

"Ohmygod. You poor little animal." Daphne had a soft spot for animals, especially dogs, and she really wasn't purposely cussing the poor innocent doggy out.

"What's your name? Come on, let's check for-no ID. You're coming with me buddy. We'll see if anyone's missin' a dog." She said, picking up the huge animal and tossing it into her backseat.

It whined a bit, as though to say, you'd better put me down. She complied, and he moved to the passenger seat, making himself comfortable.

She climbed back in the car, turning on the engine, and turning up the volume to Evanescence. The noise shocked the dog for a moment, and then he settled down again.


The girl looked awfully familiar, Sirius thought, looking at her driving through half closed lids.

She was young, around 17 or so, with long strawberry hair pulled up into a huge clip. Her face was slightly dark and had a slight sprinkling of freckles on her nose. Her dark eyes contrasted with her coloring strongly, and Sirius could feel a wild spirit within the girl.

She wore black jeans and a long sleeved that looked as though it might belong to her father. And God! All the earrings! His stomach lurched as she took another lurch.

She kind of reminded him of him, when he was younger. She certainly talked like he used to! Cussing and swearing at everything!

"Damn!" she yelled at a car that cut her off. Sirius was afraid he wouldn't get out of this car ride alive.


Daphne was prone to temper tantrums a lot, and these maniac drivers weren't helping at all. She looked over at the dog, he was still breathing (shocking).

She had to head to the Ministry. The dog looked underfed and abused and they should prosecute whatever idiot did this to this poor dog.
