Author's Note: I was awake at 6am and this popped into my head. It's now 2.50pm as I try to write it down. Wish me luck…

P.S. I'm ignoring most of HPand theHBP, specially the end.

Perfect Imperfection

Sirius Black in the kitchen of Grimmauld Place. He smiled to himself. Good news had just arrived in the form of a letter from Albus Dumbledore.

"Dear Mr Sirius Black,

Due to unforseen surcumstances, Professor Slughorn has decided to leave Hogwarts. Professor Snape, who felt it necessary to 'Stop useless teachers from diminishing the art of Potions all together', has returned to his old position as Potions Professor.

Due to this, we have no Defence Against the Dark Arts professor here at Hogwarts. Professor Snape broke the mould and stayed in the postion for two years. I hope to hear that you will come and stay for even longer.

I await your reply,

Albus Dumbledore,

Headmaster, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"What are you smiling about?"

Sirius jumped at the voice. "Harry, hi. What are you doing awake?"

"Couldn't sleep."

"Can I borrow Hedwig?"

"Sure. What for?" Harry asked curiously.

"Just need to send a letter to Dumbledore."

"What about?"

"Just an acceptance letter," Sirius said airily.

"WHAT? That's brilliant, Sirius. Well done."

Sirius's face broke into a smile. "Well it gives me a chance to annoy my savior," he smirked.

"You always have to bring Snape into this?" Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Of course. He saved me from the Veil and I must pay him back by annoying him to death."

Harry laughed. "What some tea?"

"Nah, I got some coco here."

"Like I said. Congrat's."

"Thanks."
