Day Five
On The Fifth Day of Christmas, Hermione Granger Gave to Me… Five Muggle Dentist Appointments
Why he had agreed to this was beyond him, but the look of Glee on Harry's face when Hermione had suggested it was worth the pain. His godson was happy, and that was something Sirius would do anything to see. Even spend the morning with Hermione's parents. Muggle parents. Who were something called Dentists. He thought it would be easy at first, just a chair and a light, but then Doctor Granger had taken out several metallic instruments and told him to open his mouth.
"A2, fine." Dr Granger said, peering into the dark recesses of Sirius's mouth. Years in Azkaban hadn't done much to his oral hygiene, and though Sirius was aware that his teeth weren't the best, he had never heard of Muggles that spent all day checking them. A woman, whom he presumed was Hermione's mother, repeated what he said, and made a note of something on a little chart.
"Left-side canine, unusually sharp," He chuckled at this, and again the woman wrote something down. Harry grinned in the corner of the room, and Sirius rolled his eyes. "My daughter tells me that you are an Animagus, Mr Black, would I be correct in assuming you are some kind of dog?" Sirius choked on his own breath, and Dr Granger gave a hearty laugh. "There are some of us Muggles who aren't as dull as others. My daughter has told us a lot about Wizarding culture over the years, and when one puts two and two together…" He trailed off as he came to Sirius's wisdom teeth. He Tssk'ed under his breath, and the entire room took a deep breath.
"I'm afraid, Mr Black, that whatever passes for dentistry in the Wizarding world has failed to identify rotten wisdom teeth. I'm going to need to remove these over another four consultations."
Sirius, unable to speak properly, audibly screamed.
