Hello Sirius Orion Black! It's great to meet you!

Hey, wait a minute. That name sounds familiar!

Sirius Orion Black

Isn't that the name of a FAMOUS WIZARDING AUTHOR!

Well, is it? Not sure? Maybe one day?

Hey, Sirius Orion Black – there's only one thing that is sure! And that's this: The answer is in your hands!

Or to be straight with you, Sirius Orion Black, the answer is in this Workbook™

You want to know how the Workbook™ works?

It's simple.

We ask questions. You answer them

And by the time you get to the end of the book, you're a wizarding author!

Think it's crazy? Think again. Ever heard of Newt Scamander? Kennilworthy Whisp ring a bell? How do you think those guys got started!

So. You ready? Let's dive right in!

How do you KNOW, deep in your heart, that you WILL be a wizarding author one day? (Go on, Sirius Orion Black, it's your turn now. . . .)

How do I know that I will be a wizarding author? Well . . . I don't! Is that a big surprise Mr. Workbook™? Is it? Well, yeah, I highly doubt that I will be writing best selling books any time soon, there are too many bad guys out their who need their arses kicked.

And the guy who wrote Quidditch Through the Ages got started with this book! No Way! That it like, my second favourite book ever! It follows only The Beater's Bible which is the reason that I am so awesome at Quidditch!

Wonderful! Now, how do you know that you have the determination to see your dream through?

Well for one thing I put my full name on all of those stupid blacks. I would generally find that very insulting to my intelligence. Merlin, I don't even think the professor is going to look at the this book, so why I'm even writing this is beyond me.

Okay, great. Now, what was it that made you choose this course out of all of the the optional seventh-year courses?

Hmmmm. Well, I would have to say that the answer is sitting in the row ahead of me with her brown hair up in a very sexy bun. Yes, I took this class because of a girl. I know! Outrageous! Me, Sirius Black, actually doing something to get a girl, instead of it being the other way around. Hey, it's not entirely my fault. Eowyn-Marie is incredibly hot and smart, and, apart from her being one of my very best friends, I highly doubt that she would ever go out with a guy like me.

Interesting. Okay, let's start with something simple. Look around you right now. Write down a list of everything you see.

Okay, I'm looking around right now. . . .

There is an incredibly sexy girl named Eowyn-Marie Christopher or Wyn sitting right in front of me, and she is talking to her best friend Lily Evans, who is sitting with her head down on her desk because she is probably just as bored as everyone else in the class. Up a couple of rows is the teacher's desk. Professor Sikkema is an incredibly perky woman with insanely curly blonde hair. Apparently she is dating the Quidditch Coach, Mister Grazat, who's son happens to be a third-year in Gryffindor. Sikkema is currently drinking water out of a goblet, and reading a book. I can't see the title.

Through the window which I am seated right beside, I can see the Quidditch pitch, which is where I would like to be right now. I love Quidditch. Me and my best buddy James are on the Gryffindor house team, and in my opinion, we are the best. Anyways, it is very sunny out right now, and those lucky students that don't have classes right now are out by the lake having a good time, instead of being locked up in an incredibly hot and stuffy classroom. Lucky bums!

We bet you just wrote down "desk," "quill," "teacher," etc., etc. Maybe you noticed the wand, but we bet you didn't get the chip in the side of the wand! Now, go ahead and try again. Write down EVERYTHING that you see.

I don't get it. Everyone's wand is probably in their pocket or bag, and therefore I can't see them. You know what, Mr. Workbook™ ? You are a very scary thing, thinking you know everything. Well you don't. I bet you don't know how tall I am or what colour my hair is. I bet you don't know Wyn's shoe size? Do ya? Well, do ya punk?

Okay, sorry 'bout that. Yeah. Right now, Wyn's robes have slipped down, and because she happens to be wearing a white blouse like every other girl in this school, I can see that she I wearing a lime green bra. That's right folks! Wyn is wearing a lime green bra. Wish I could see it . . .

That's better! Now, do you know the names of any of the people around you?

Do I know the name's of any of the people around me? Of course I do! This is Sirius Black here. I know almost every seventh year that isn't in Slytherin and I know most of the sixth year's names too. What can I say? I'm a friendly person, especially to the ladies!

Okay so Right in front of me is Wyn and Lily. Wyn is the hottest girl in the room and she's a good friend of mine. Lily is the object of my good friend James' affection, and she's also a good pal of mine.

There are a bunch of other people too, but I really don't want to bother telling you all of their names. That would bore me. So yeah, Wyn is a very hot lady and I really like her, but she doesn't know that yet because I'm too scared to tell her. Yeah I know, me, Sirius Black, afraid to do something. Well, when doing something consists of telling a girl that you have known for half of your life that you really, really like her, yeah, it can be kinda hard to do.

What about their middle names?

Ahaha. Wyn's middle name is funny. It's Rhosanna. I swear, her parents must have been on crack when they named her. Thank god for nicknames. Merlin, I would go insane if I had to call her Eowyn-Marie all of the time. I just do it now to piss her off. I do like that name though. It's pretty, like her! Yessssssssssssshhh.

So. Lily's middle name is Marie. It's kinda cool that her middle name is Marie, because she is best pals with Wyn, who's second part of her name is Marie. Okay, that didn't really make sense but then again, when do my ramblings ever make sense? Never. That's right. Sirius's ramblings never make sense. Sirius likes talking in third person now. Sirius is not hitting himself in the head with his left hand in an attempt to stop talking about Sirius in third person.

Let's pretend that YOU are a character in a book. The book starts with you waking up yesterday morning. Tell us what you did.

Well, let me see . . . Yesterday morning I was rudely awakened by Remus and James jumping up and down on my bed. For some reason they thought that I should be waking up at 8:30 so that I could eat before classes which started at 9. I told them, as I had been telling them since we started at Hogwarts, that I didn't need to get up until 8:31. Merlin, you would think that they would allow me to get up later, but NOOOOOOOOO. They have to wake me up every morning at 8:30. It's not fair I tell you!

Anyways, I got up and did my morning routine, and then we all – that it James, Remus, Peter, and I – went down to the Great Hall for a quick bite to eat. After that we headed off to potions with the stupid Slytherins. Why they always put Slytherin and Gryffindor together for potions is a mystery to me. Anyways, when we got to potions, Snivellus was there wearing a pink tutu with ballet slippers, and he had his greasy hair up in a bun.

He started dancing around in the hallway and was starting to dot he splits when The Potion's professor came out and started dancing as well.

Great! So what happened next? Remember that these are easy questions – it's not about "making things up." Your Workbook™ is going to build you toward "invention." For now, you should just tell the truth!

I can't make things up? Ahhhh. :'( That sucks. Oh well. I didn't make up the first part, just the bit about Snape and Professor Watson doing ballet. You have to admit that that was funny.

Well, if you really want to know what happened yesterday, all that happened was that I went to class and then went to bed. Nothing happened yesterday, NOTHING! How horrible is that? That is why I made up the dancing bit. But no, you had to go and ruin that for me, didn't you, Mr. Workbook™ ?

Okay, time for your first QUICK FLICK. These are "memory" exercises that you will find throughout your Workbook™. You'll really start to look forward to them! Think for a moment, and then describe your first day at Hogwarts.

Hmmm. My first day at Hogwarts was awesome. Once I got on the train, I ditched Bella and her boyfriend Roudolfus, and I went wandering through the train. I ended up in a compartment with James, Remus, Peter, Lily, Wyn, and another girl named Erica. We all became friends, and by the time we got off of the train in Hogsmeade we all wanted to be in the same house, Gryffindor.

I had a little problem though. My family – the slimy, dirty gits that they are – have been in Slytherin forever. As much as I didn't want to go into Slytherin, I was afraid that my family ties would keep me from going where I truly wanted to be. Anyways, because my name is the first alphabetically out of my new group of friends I was the first of up to be sorted. I was so nervouse, but at last the Sorting Hat put me in Gryffindor.

All of my new friends ended up in Gryffindor, except for Erica who was put in Ravenclaw. We still stayed friends with her though, and let me tell you that the Ravenclaw common room is really cool.

So yeah, that was my first day at Hogwarts. Hope you enjoyed it.

Tell us the name of your best friend. Does he play quidditch? Is he a prefect? We'll leave a couple of pages so you can tell us ALL about your best friend!

Okay, first of all, I don't need a couple of pages to tell you about James. James is the best friend a guy could have. Ever since that first day of Hogwarts we have been best friends. I would honestly have to say that we are the smartest guys in the school right now, and probably the ones who get in trouble the most.

For some reason, Dumbledore made James Head Boy this year and Lily is Head Girl. They get their own little tower, but James and Lily never stay there because they want to be in Gryffindor tower with ME! Yeah, James is in love with Lily and she is in love with him, but for some reason they won't admit it to each other. I, however, am cooking up a plan to get them together.

All in all, James is a really cool guy and his quidditch skills are second only to mine. He is the Captain of Gryffindor's team and he is a chaser. He scores most of the goals but only because I am so awesome at intercepting the bludgers that happen to be heading at him. He owes me so much. Without me he would probably already be in a hole in the ground.

Well done! That was fabulous!

And guess what? You did it! You finished Part 1 of your Workbook™! We are SO PROUD of you!

Be sure and take a break before you go on to the next Part. . . .

Its based on part of the book The Year of Secret Assignments by a person that I can't remeber her name. lol. Yeah, so, this story is the story of part of Sirius' last year at hogwarts, and, as you can probably tell, this is hilarious to write.

I'll try to update as soon as I can, buy I want to get the next chapter of I'm Lost Without You up first. Ive written like the first two sentences, lol

Yeah, so Hope u like this, and REVIEW!
