"We'll be starting a new unit after the holidays," Umbridge informed the class, "which means that we'll be having a short exam the last class before break."
Sirius groaned.
"Do you have a problem with that, Mr. Black?"
"Yes," Sirius said.
"And what would that be?"
"Well, Professor, you see, Peter stole my breakfast again today. Not only did he steal my eggs, but he stole my toast as well. My amazing, beautiful, perfectly cooked eggs and toast! Gone! I suspect Lily Evans is behind it. Anyway, I am deep in mourning for my murdered breakfast, and the funeral is going to be that same day, so-"
"Mr. Black, you will be attending the exam. You will also be attending a detention tonight," Umbridge said sweetly.
"But, Professor-"
"That's enough. Now, today we'll be reviewing what we read at the beginning of the year…."
The day before their holidays began, Peter, James, and Remus packed their things.
"You're staying here?" Peter asked Sirius.
"Yeah. Figured I'd try it," Sirius said casually.
"Well, Happy Christmas," James said.
"Happy Christmas."
"Make sure to get Minnie under the mistletoe!"
"That's not going to work," Remus stated blandly.
"Yes it will, Remus! This will be the time Minnie finally shows her affection towards me! She's just embarrassed!" Sirius insisted. "She's afraid you'll be jealous!"
"Sirius, she's a teacher."
"Yes, but she still loves me."
"Well, tell us how that goes. Happy Christmas."
"She loves me Remus, I know she does!"
"Bye."
