Chapter Four: What Gives You Wings?
Severus Snape was relaxing back at Grimmauld place and once more Mrs. Weasley was here as the order was still needed as the Ministry thought it should keep going. So Grimmauld place was the headquarters naturally. Now it was winter again and a weekend and Severus wanted for a time to get away from annoying hormonal teens. So he was here sipping tea and enjoying the fine company of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley as Arthur had come into the warm sitting room. He took a seat and took a cup of tea and scone and sat back with a sigh.
"I heard that Harry has become an Animagmus." Mr. Weasley said.
"Oh yes and I was not expecting him to turn out what he turned out as." Severus said.
"A cloud leopard, very impressive that." Mrs. Weasley said.
"Yes, well as long as he behaves, he can be such an attention seeker!" Severus said.
"Well it's more like attention seeks him out not the other way around." Mr. Weasley replied.
"What is that sound?" Severus asked sitting up getting his wand out, "oh dear not them!"
"What, oh dear what have they got into?" Mr. Weasley sighed getting up as he heard cracks of Apparation and into the room ran Remus.
"Hide me please!" He said.
"Why?" Severus asked.
The reason became very clear as Sirius came into the room grinning insanely. He had two cans of some muggle drink, one was empty and he tossed it aside and the other he opened and drank down quickly. Severus summoned the empty can and read the label, it was Red Bull and he sighed. Sirius Black on sugar, caffeine and whatever else muggles put in the drink. Severus had a feeling this was just two of many cans the wizard had had before him. Sirius finished the Red Bull and summoned yet another, he would get sick of he drank anymore though that Severus thought would be amusing to watch. Right now his grin was threatening to split his face and his eyes were crazed more than normal.
"You know this Red Bull is good but it does not give you wings I have drank a few and still cannot fly why can I not fly I want to fly and it says Red Bull gives you wings so why can I not fly?"
"Sirius shut up." Remus said.
"I wanna fly, I need to fly let this is the last can get me more Moony will you that is a good fellow oh hello Molly Arthur I cannot fly but this has a little kick why would muggles advertise that one can fly with this when they cannot can I get more this is great Moony I love you Severus how are you give us a hug…"
"Black you have out idiot-ed yourself." Severus replied coldly going for his wand.
"You made up a word why did you do that you cannot make up words I am not an idiot I am smart and I feel free wait maybe I can fly Moony one more can and I will fly Molly you look lovely and oh where is Harry he needs to see this I need one more can please…"
"No you will spew." Remus replied.
"I believe I can fllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy!" Sirius sang.
He ran from the room and did indeed try to fly by jumping from the stairs to the ground floor. The resounding thud had everyone running from the room and down the stairs to see Sirius backing from a very amused headmaster. Severus came down the stairs and realized the order was here and both Dumbledore and Moody were for the moment amused at Sirius's behavior. Tonks came into the house and stopped cold as she saw the state of her cousin.
"Sirius you did not drink all of the Red Bull did you?" She asked.
"Yes I did it was good but I still cannot fly it says you get wings and I don't have those either why I want to fly and can't it's not fair…."
"Sirius you will be sick from all that." Tonks said, "you drank the whole box?"
"Yes he did, I am sorry I tried to stop him." Remus said coming down the stairs, "he was too fast for me."
"So wolf it is your fault." Severus said softly rounding on Remus.
"Ah no, Tonks brought it and Sirius found it." Remus replied backing from Severus.
"I am going to kill you Lupin!" Severus snarled.
He took off after poor Remus and that left a really hyper Sirius with the order members here. Moody limped up to Sirius, grabbed him by the collar and drug him to the dungeons and threw him in taking his wand and locking him in. The sounds of howls and laugher came as Sirius wore off his energy high. It was then up to Moody to find and rescue Remus who he found hanging on the wall like a coat. Mrs. Weasley saw this and went to find Severus, not to punish him but to give him some tea with a mild calming draught as seeing Sirius so hyper had to have jarred the poor man's nerves. She found he did not need it as he had found a muggle video recorder and was recording Sirius's hyper activity and was going to show it at Hogwarts to just about anyone who wanted to see it…
