At Last
By Griffindorgal13
Authors note: This is my crazy altered story line and the trio is in their 5 year and Sirius will never die and it will not follow the book OOTP at all, got it? So don't email me with complaints!
Ron looked over at one of his best friends Harry Potter: who had is hand to his forehead with a look of pain on his face. His scar must be hurting; this wasn't new.
Ron Weasley switched his gaze to his other best friend Hermione Granger; she had shoulder length bushy brown hair and deep brown eyes. She was looking at Harry as well; Harry had raven colored hair that was always messy and emerald green eyes. Harry caught both their gazes and gave them both a look that said, "What?" They both looked away and happened to look at each other Hermione blushed and looked down at the book she was reading; Ron's ears got almost as red as his flaming red hair but he continued to look at her. Finally Ron looked up and saw that the mail was here.
A snowy white owl came swooping down to their table in the Great Hall. The owl, named Hedwig stopped in front of Harry and dropped a letter on Harry's empty plate.
Harry opened the letter and read the contents. A wide grin slowly spread across his handsome features. At the same time Ron and Hermione asked what was in it; all Harry said was,"I'm going home for Christmas." Before Ron or Hermione could say anything Professor McGonagall came into the Great Hall with a very large black dog on a leash. As soon as the dog saw Harry, the black dog broke free of the leash and Professor McGonagall, and ran straight for Harry.
The dog jumped up and knocked Harry off of the bench he was sitting on. The dog had Harry right where he wanted him and started attacking Harry with licks and joyful barks. Harry got up and hugged the dog around the neck after that Harry started scratching the dog behind the ears. Ron and Hermione, still staring at Harry and the dog, tried hard not to laugh out loud but finally gave in. The three of them started laughing together. Professor McGonagall came over to their table and, with a hint of a smile on her face, said," I found this dog pacing outside of the Common Room; would he by any chance belong to you, Mr. Potter?"
"S-s-sorry professor" Harry stuttered. "Merry Christmas, Potter." McGonagall said as she walked away. Harry looked after her as if he'd never seen her before.
Had Old McGonagall just said "Merry Christmas" to me and smiled?
He dismissed the thought and shot a fake glare at the large black dog. "What in the name of Merlin are you doing here, Sirius?" In the joy of seeing Sirius again Hermione totally forgot about the time. "Oh God! Look at the time" Hermione exclaimed," we have Potions Class in 1 minute!" Harry was too happy to care; Potions was the last class until Christmas break and he was going to Grimauled Place!
He told Ron and Hermione to go without him and that he would meet them in the Gryffindor Common Room after Potions. So Hermione and Ron went to Potions and left Harry with his godfather, Sirius Black, in the empty Great Hall, to enjoy their happy reunion.
