Chapter 6
Harry and Sirius spent the whole day shopping.
They been to every shop in diagon alley, then apparated to Hogsmeade and gone into every shop there aswell.
Only about 1/2 an hour of the time was spent buying clothes, which had been their original intention. The rest was spent running around madly, eating ice-cream and terrorizing innocent bystanders.
It was beginning to get dark by the time they decided to leave and they were just walking around Hogsmeade when Sirius stopped walking and pointed at something behind them, gasping.
"Merlin..."
"What?"
"It's like heaven... in a shop!"
"What is?"
Sirius pointed and Harry looked at what he was talking about. It was Zonko's joke shop. It used to be weasly's wizard wheezes but when Fed and George were killed Zonko bought it and now he had two shops in Hogsmeade. It had had an extension and was a lot bigger than the old one. Harry had forgotten that Sirius didn't know about it.
"Do you want to go in?"
Sirius looked at Harry like he had just asked if he would want to have his own private island and 30 flying motor-bikes.
"Of course i do! What kind of question is that!"
Harry laughed.
"Ok ok stupid question, let's go."
Sirius ran into the shop as fast as his legs would carry him followed by an amused Harry. When he entered the shop he proceeded to run around the shelves like a little kid on Christmas, looking at everything he could lay his hands on.
After a few minutes he stuck his head round the shelf where Harry was standing.
"We should prank Moony and Snivellus"
"Ok, if you think of something."
"Really?" Sirius had a look of pure joy on his face at the thought of playing a prank on his friend and his obnoxious boyfriend.
"Yeah."
Sirius ran off again and soon returned carrying armfuls things in bottles.
"These are some potions we could use...we can come back and get some more if there's not enough"
Harry eyed the huge pile on the floor in front of him.
"You know what Sirius. I think that will be enough."
Between them the managed to drag the huge zonko's bags home with them and hide them somewhere in the cupboard in Harry's room where they were sure Remus wouldn't find them. They sat down on Harry's bed, exhausted but happy with their day's work.
After a couple of minutes of silence Harry spoke.
"So had any ideas what we're going to do yet?"
Sirius shrugged.
"I picked up quite a few bottles of image changing stuff. I think it's a bit like polyjuice without the awful taste and having to put bits of people into it, plus it lasts 24 hours. And i got some magical bugs which might be useful and a whole load of other things which i didn't check the labels on but i'm sure we will find uses for."
Harry yawned.
"Ok you think of something tonight but right now i have to sleep. I'm shattered"
Sirius pouted.
"Ohhhhh, harrryyyy! please stay up and plot evil pranks with me!"
The puppy-dog eyes that Sirius was making almost mad Harry change his mind. But only almost.
"No. You can tell me tomorrow."
"fine then..."
Sirius bowed his head and walked really slowly out of the room sighing loudly about being unwanted and uncared for.
Harry smiled and got up to get changed.
