James was so excited for the Halloween dinner. He could not even do his homework with out thinking about it. Even now he had much to do. He was wondering what it would be like? Also, he got in trouble in Transfiguration because he was daydreaming. Of course he would have to do five more days of detention with Professor McGonagall. Sirius got detention with Slughorn because he put a frog on Snape's chair.
The four boys started down to the Great Hall when James's owl came back from taking a letter to his parents."O no! It ...it's a howler." said James. James opened the letter when it flew in the air, it said: JAMES POTTER! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE YOU ARE IN? I AND YOUR FATHER ARE ASHAMED OF YOU! FIRST YOU STEEL FROM SLUGHORN, THEN YOU TOUCHER A STUDENT, AND GET DETENTION! AND THEN YOU FAL A TEST BECAUSE YOU WERE SNEAKING AROUND! THEN WE GOT A LETTER FROM MCGONAGALL TELLING US YOU DID WHAT YOU ALREADY TOLD US, THEN YOU WERE DAY DREAMING IT IN CLASS! WHEN YOU GET HOME, YOU WILL BE GROUNDED! AND NO ALLOWANCE! From his mother's voice. "Wow. You are in trouble." said Sirius. Just as he was done saying those words, another owl from Sirius's family.
It was a howler for Sirius from his parents and it flew into the air and said: SIRIUS BLACK! HOW DARE YOU STEEL! YOU ARE DOING HORRIBLE IN SCHOOL, AND YOU GOT INTO GRYFFINDOR! I AND YOUR FATHER ARE ASHAMED TO BE YOUR PARENTS! YOU FAL THE DARK ARTS TEST, AND POTIONS AND EVERY THING ELSE! And it ripped up and Sirius was standing there in shock. The boys were amazed.
After they got the Howlers, they made the rest if the way to the Great Hall. It was beautiful! Candles, pumpkins on all the tables, Orange every were. The boys sat at the end of the table, and food appeared on the tables. Sweets, chocolate, pumpkin juice, caramel everything a kid could want to get. The dinner was exactly the way he imagined it. Beautiful. Of course when he got in trouble by Professor McGonagall. The boys ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, till they could eat no more. They had to hold on to each other top get to the tower."Man I am never eating that much ever again. I think I am going to be sick!" said Sirius.
The four could not get up the next morning. One of their other friends had to go get the nurse. She gave them a stomach relaxer, and brought them down to the Hospital Wing to watch over them. She gave them the medicine every two hours. "Man I think I 'm going to be sick, just from this crap." said Peter. The rest of the day the boys threw papers at each other and got in trouble from the nurse. She gave them one day of detention. That added up to one week with McGonagall about the Snape thing, the day dreaming, one week, and one day with the nurse. He is defiantly getting another Howler, and he did, and during the summer, he is grounded for a month.
The next day, the boys went back to class. They were made because they missed a fun day and came back on test day for all classes, but over all, James had a good Halloween.
