Chapter: Panic Six
MissLinuxthePenguin
Sirius Black stared in shock at what was sitting at the kitchen table.
Or rather, whom was sitting at the kitchen table.
There, eating toast, was... Little Remus?
No.
Not Little Remus.
Little Remus was Littler.
This, this .. boy was not Little Remus.
He was.. too big. Older. Calmer.
And there, sitting next to him was... Tiny Tonks?
Big Tiny Tonks?
Sirius Black was seriously questioning his sanity.
Seriously.
And with that he noticed a rather brightly wrapped box.
One that was begging to be opened.
And so, not wanting to upset the box, Sirius Black opened said brightly wrapped box.
And found himself faced to face with a ... penguin?
The penguin happily squeaked, then handed Sirius an envelope.
As he opened the envelope, he began to question his sanity... again...
"Sirius Black,
As members of the society of care of magical children we would like to inform you exactly what has taken place in the last twenty four hours and what you should expect to take place within the next weeks. ..
The two 'children' sitting in front of you are indeed your friends Remus J. Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. And, yes, they have been magically reversed to their younger selfs.
You may have noticed that they look older today, and you are correct. As the potion perimeters were set that each day the effected 'adults' would age one year.
Since magical children are of age at seventeen, your friends will revert to their original ages at that time.
We wish you luck for these next days... And provide this schedule to, hopefully, better explain this to you.
Day 1 - Yesterday, Age Five
Day 2 - Today, Age Six
Day 3 - Tomorrow, Age Seven
Day 4 - Age Eight
Day 5 - Age Nine
Day 6 - Age Ten
Day 7 - Age Eleven
Day 8 - Age Twelve
Day 9 - Age Thirteen
Day 10 - Age Fourteen
Day 11 - Age Fifteen
Day 12 - Age Sixteen
Day 13 - Age Sixteen
Remember, as their sole magical guardian you are responsible for them during this thirteen day period.
Good Day and Good Luck,
The Members of the Society of Care of Magical Children"
Sirius noticed that hastily scrawled at the end of the letter was the : And MissLinuxthePenguin.
He looked back at the Penguin.
"So your name is Miss Linux?"
The Penguin nodded, pointing to behind Sirius at Remus.
"Remus!" Sirius asked, his voice moving up five octaves. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
The young boy simply smiled and replied "Magic."
Sirius yelped, but did not escape the wrath of wand-yielding Remus.
And there, where the once ex-convict stood... was a small black puppy.
The puppy growled, looking for all the world like Sirius Black.
But then again, that was probably because the puppy was (in reality) Sirius Black and it made a very good deal of sense that the Puppy looked like him.
And it made a very good deal of sense to think that the author was high, because there was a very high probability of that, considering what she just wrote.
But we'll ignore that for the current moment, and focus on the events occurring at 12 Grimmuald Place and leave the mental unstable author alone.
Tonks, having witness the transformation (Sirius' not the author's), was angry.
She didn't know why she was angry, but she was.
"REMUS WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU JUST DO,YOU PRAT!" Tonks gathered the small puppy in her arms, looking for all the world like Molly Weasley
Remus cowered. And personally, I would have too...
"Err..."
"YOU SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIBLE! UGH! I CAN'T STAND TO EVEN LOOK AT YOU!"
Tonks stomped off in a huff, taking a grinning puppy with her... (leaving the penguin with Remus)
This .. this keeps getting more and more interesting...
Sirius Puppy Black was definitely a happy puppy now, and went to work on planning his next devious plot.
