So, today at lunch KCB and my friend Jessie decided to have some fun with my food. The end product was a brownie stabbed many times with a fork and covered in cream cheese, plus chicken fried rice with milk (actually poured in the chicken fried rice) and pieces of napkin in it. I'd advise you not to eat anything like that. Ever. Anyway, i would write thank yous, but since only one of you reviewed...
Padfoot's Sidekick-Heeehee yes, chapter 13 was much fun. and we're glad you like 14 too. And thank you ever so much for reviewing.
Why is Padfoot's Sidekick the only one reviewing??? Please make up for my bad meal experience and review!!!! Anyway...We don't own it! We don't!!!!!!!!! And onto chapter 15, my favorite to-date, comprised totally of conversations between the authors (as the title suggests). Enjoy!!!!!!!
Chapter 15
Some Interesting Conversations
The next morning's edition of the Daily Prophet featured a rather large picture of Harry and an even larger article on his so-called rescue. Harry thought it ironic that the man they were praising would be killed on the spot if he stepped out in public. Sirius found this fairly amusing as well and as they were some of the few people who actually knew the whole story, it was even funnier to hear the reactions of others-Ron for example.
"I heard they tied you up and were planning on feeding you to a three-headed dog!"
"Well, they did tie me up..." He gave Sirius a meaningful look as he held back fits of laughter at his friend's stupidity.
Hermione, on the other hand, didn't believe a word of their story and, like Dumbledore, found out the truth rather quickly.
"Why didn't you just tell the truth and be done with it?"
"Are you kidding? Molly would've had my head! Besides, what if the entire wizarding population found out that Harry Potter was abducted by Sirius Black? That would be even worse!"
"You shouldn't have even been near Diagon Alley! You could've been caught!"
"Hermione, the point is that Harry's okay and I'm not in Azkaban. Give it a rest."
"I will not! You know what could have happened, what were you thinking?!"
"I was thinking about getting out of here, and now I'm thinking that maybe I should do something to you!"
"You could tie her to a chair too!"
"Shut it, Harry."
"He tied you to a chair!!! In the middle of Diagon Alley?!?"
"Actually, it was in a secret room."
"So?! You tied your godson to a chair and pretended to be a Death Eater!"
"Your point being?"
"My point is that it was a stupid thing to do and you're not setting a good example for Harry!"
"Oh yeah, I'm just so stupid that I'm going to wander around and tie people to chairs every chance I get just because my godfather did it to me."
"Hey!! Take that back! Tying you to a chair was genius, pure genius!"
"I have to admit, you had me fooled when you bound and gagged me, and especially when you talked about killing me!"
"You did what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"Yeah, Hermione, didn't you hear him calling 'Ermoneee!!!'?"
"Hey, it's hard to talk when you're gagged!!"
"Sirius, you are the strangest godfather in the world."
"Why thank you!"
"That wasn't a complement."
"It was for me!"
"Never mind. C'mon Harry, let's go."
"Go where?? I wanna come too!"
"Fine, you can come. We're just going to go talk to Mrs. Weasley..."
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!" Sirius screamed and ran out of the room. Harry and Hermione laughed as they wandered around to find Ron's mother, who still had all of their books.
After another breakfast in the Great Hall, the Order decided it was time to move out of Hogwarts. The only question was-where. After a long, heated argument they finally agreed to meet once a week at Lupin's house, not having a headquarters at all. This left Harry in a bit of a predicament, seeing as how he refused to go anywhere near Privet Drive. Deciding that the Burrow, though Harry's first choice of a place to stay, wouldn't be safe, Dumbledore determined that Harry would return to Grimmauld Place with Sirius on the condition that no more disasters would occur. Ron and Hermione were welcome to come, but Hermione refused, knowing what Sirius had done the day before, and Mrs. Weasley refused to let Ron spend the rest of the summer with Harry and Sirius, terrified of what would happen if the three of them were left alone. Harry was getting his things together when he and Ron got into an interesting conversation.
"Harry, I'm really sorry about yesterday."
"What about it?"
"Well, you could have been killed!"
"Oh, that."
"How can you take it so calmly?!"
"Um, well, I uh, just, well..."
"Harry, is something wrong?"
"No, no, it's just that, well, I was never in any danger at all."
"What?! Okay Harry, even you have to admit that Death Eaters are something to worry about! Don't be all brave and proud!"
"No Ron, that's not it at all!"
"Hey, look at me! I'm Harry Potter, and I'm invincible!"
"Ron! That's not what I meant!"
"Oh, yeah right."
"NO! What I meant is that there were never any Death Eaters!"
"What?!?! You made up that story just for fame?! I can't believe you!"
"No, Ron!!! Sirius did it!"
"Huh??"
"Sirius captured me, it was his way of getting back for telling him to stay here! We went back here, it was all his idea!"
"So, we went running all over Diagon Alley looking for you and you were with Sirius the whole time?!"
"Yep, that's pretty much it."
"Why didn't you just say so?!"
"Do you realize what your mum would have done to him?!"
"Good point. Is that why Hermione practically screamed when you asked if we wanted to come with?"
"Yeah, it is. And I don't really blame her either." Ron laughed.
"I almost feel sorry for you."
"Thanks."
Harry was soon packed, as he didn't have many things to begin with, and was waiting for Sirius, who was checking over Grimmauld Place and fixing all of the broken furniture that was still present from the fight with the Death Eaters. He soon returned, and Harry said his goodbyes to Ron, Hermione, who was going to the Burrow with the Weasleys, and the rest of the Order. Dumbledore made them promise once more that no more disasters would occur, at least until school started, and they left through the fireplace.
"I can't believe him!" Hermione cried after they'd gone.
"Who, Harry or Sirius?" asked Ron.
"SIRIUS! He's going to get into trouble one of these days!"
"He already got into trouble, remember?"
"Harry's not helping him much either."
"Yeah, but Harry can't really help that he's not helping."
"Well, someone has to keep Sirius in line before he gets himself kissed by a dementor or something!"
"Don't worry, he's a big boy, he can take care of himself. I think. I hope."
"TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF!!!!! How can you say he can take care of himself if he can't even take proper care of his godson?! Why do you always take Harry's side?"
"I'm not trying to take anyone's side!"
"Then answer me!"
"I'm just saying that Sirius needs to get used to the idea of taking care of someone else and not acting like he's still 16 as well!"
"The entire wizarding world was going crazy! You do know that Harry is the only one that can stop Voldemort, don't you? (An-yeah, i know harry never told them about it. just pretend he did). Everyone thought he'd been killed! What would that mean for the future? Sirius was being immature and irresponsible and you know it!"
"Harry and Sirius just need some time to bond! How would you feel if you were stuck in prison for 12 years and your godson was being raised by a bunch of Muggles?!"
"I was raised by a 'bunch of Muggles' Ron, remember me? Hermione the Muggle-born?"
"Yes, but, well, uhh... your godfather wasn't in prison for something he didn't do, was he?"
"That's not the point! The point is, I think the veil affected Sirius's brain in some way."
"How can it affect Sirius's brain??? He never had one!"
"Thanks for the help, Ronald. We've got to do something about him!"
"Do what?!"
"Oh, this is getting ridiculous. Let's just go to the Burrow before we're stuck here overnight."
"Okay, fine."
Back at Grimmauld Place, Harry and Sirius were looking for the source of a strange, high-pitched noise.
"Argh," Harry yelled, "it's giving me a headache!!!"
"Aah! That sound is going to drive me mad! Where is it?!?!?!"
"I don't know, it's your house! Just make it stop!!!!"
"It's NOT MY HOUSE!!!!!!"
"It's as good as your house. You don't think we're being attacked again, do you?"
"By evil high-pitched sounds??"
"FILTHY BLOODTRAITORS!"
"Oh shut up mum!"
"JUST MAKE IT STOP!!!"
"I'm trying to!!!"
"No you're not, you're standing there covering your ears! Do something!"
"That is something!"
"Maybe we should go upstairs and see what it is so we CAN do something about it."
"Okay, you go first."
As Harry stepped one foot on the stairs, they heard a loud crash from one of the upstairs bedrooms.
"What was that?"
"How am I supposed to know?!"
"You lived here!"
"So?? That was a long time ago!"
"FILTH! SCUM!"
"Oh shut up already!!!!"
"Let's go instead of just standing here, okay?" Harry suggested.
"Okay fine."
Harry and Sirius cautiously crept up the remainder of the stairs and peeked around the corner into the first bedroom.
"Nothing here."
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."
"What?"
"There's nothing there!" Sirius cried.
"I JUST SAID THAT!"
"So?!"
"What?"
"I don't know! Let's just keep going!"
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
"I said, 'LET'S JUST KEEP GOING!!!!!'"
"OH, OKAY."
"This is one of those times that I really wish my animagus form wasn't a dog!"
"It's better than a goldfish or something like that!"
"That's true."
"You're lucky you even HAVE an animagus form!"
"You'll have one in a while!"
"Did Lupin come here and we just didn't realize it was the full moon?"
"No, the moon was full a few days ago, remember?"
"Oh, yeah. THEN WHAT IS IT?!?"
"I DON'T KNOW!!!!"
"Keep walking, I'm sick of running into you every time you want to talk to me!"
"OKAY!!!"
As Sirius and Harry tiptoed up to the last bedroom on the floor, the noise seemed to get louder.
"Harry, I think it's coming from in here!"
"YOU GO IN FIRST! IF ANYTHING HAPPENS YOU CAN TRANSFORM!"
"Sure, fine, make Sirius go in. He can just transform."
"WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
"NEVER MIND!!!"
"JUST DO IT!"
Sirius approached the room slowly, and opened the door to peek in. He switched form and bounded in, then came running back out with his tail in-between his legs.
"Well, what is it?"
"It's Buckbeak!!! I forgot he was here and he's going on a rampage!"
"WHAT?!? Get him something to eat before he tears the house apart and the neighbors call the police!"
"Number one, the neighbors wouldn't notice, they don't know the house is here, remember? Number two, you know how much I hate this house anyway. Number three, what's a police???"
"Never mind."
"WHAT??"
"I SAID NEVER MIND! GO FEED HIM ALREADY!"
"FEED HIM WHAT?!"
"I DON'T KNOW...CHICKEN!"
"NO!! NOT MY CHICKEN!!!!"
"TURKEY THEN, JUST FEED HIM SOMETHING!"
"I DON'T HAVE ANY TURKEY!!"
"WELL THEN, FIND ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE HIM SHUT UP!"
"BLOODTRAITORS! FILTH!"
"HOW DO YOU GET A HIPPOGRIFF TO SHUT UP?! OR MY MOTHER, FOR THAT MATTER!"
"WAIT! SIRIUS, SILENCING CHARM!"
"OH YEAH!! SILENCIO!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Well, that was interesting."
"Now what?"
"Maybe you should go find something for him to eat."
"Right."
