Chapter 3
As soon as the sum came up James woke up. Sirius was sleeping like a very ugly baby on the top bunk and had no consideration for James as he was happily snoring away, not for the first time either. Every night he had to sleep through Sirius' elephantine snores. It really got on his nerves, it was the only fault he could find in his friend. James got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast.
"Hmm, what should I have today? Let's see. Yesterday I had cereal and toast I think…" he reached out for a sandwich (which was kept on the shelf) and went over to the fridge and it sang "GOOD MORNING!" over and over and over again. He quickly shut the door after grabbing the bacon and started muttering foul words under his breath at the fridge.
As he was frying the bacon a loud screech came from somewhere above his head. He looked up and saw an owl holding three letters in its beak. He quietly took the letters from the owls beak and had forgotten about his hunger.
His heart was pounding as he read 'Mr James Potter, 27 Mulberry Cottage, Godric's Hollow, Middle of no where.' This had to be it. James slowly turned the letter over and held his breath. Slowly he opened one eye (as he had not dared to look at the envelope) and saw a crest bearing a badger, snake, lion and an eagle and almost instantly he broke into a huge smile and rushed into his room.
He burst into the room and shouted "SIRIUS WAKE UP!" Sirius murmured something like 'shut up' in his sleep but James ignored him. "SIRIUS! IT'S OUR SCHOOL LETTERS! WAKE UP!" at the mention of school Sirius sat bolt upright and wished he hadn't as he got a head rush.
"Ouch! Pass me my letter s'il vous plait" he said in VERY bad french. James rolled his eyes and handed over the letter with Sirius' name on.
"Did you get in?" James asked but Sirius' face said it all.
"No I didn't, I've been accepted at Durmstrang." He said solemly.
"WHAT?" shouted James, "Well if you go, I'm going too! I'm not…" but didn't get to finish what he was about to say as Sirius interrupted him. "Only joking! I have been allowed in! YEEES! WE'RE GOING TO HOGWARTS! WE'RE GOING TO HOGWARTS!"
Sirius shouted, waking up the rest of the house.
Edward and Shirley Potter came through in their pajamas and slippers.
"What's happened?" asked Shirley confused.
"Mum! Me and Sirius got into Hogwarts!" James replied. Shirley looked relieved and remembered feeling the same when she had got her letter and said "Well done boys, now calm down!"
"WE CAN'T WE'RE TOO EXCITED!" and at that moment Gemini came through the door and Aries following her grasping his teddy bear, Sir Busterfur Roosterfur Teddy, and rubbing his eyes.
"Did I get a letter too?" asked Gemini hopefully. James tossed her her letter. Soon there was more screaming as Gemini joined in with the celebration. She too had got into Hogwarts and was very happy indeed. Aries looked upset and soon they began to notice (he had started to cry) through tears he said "You're all going to leave me by myself! I'll have no one to play trains with anymore! It's not fair! I want to go to Hogwarts too!"
Gemini rushed over to her brother. "It's ok. We'll come and visit you at Christmas and Easter times and we'll bring you lots of sweets." At the mention of sweets Aries perked up and stopped crying.
"What kind of sweets?" he asked excitedly.
"Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans of couse!" Gemini laughed as she hugged her brother.
"Ok! Then I definitely think you should go! I'll help you pack and then maybe you'll bring me sweets quicker!" Gemini giggled and shook her head, brothers!
Pleez R&R!
