Sirius / Serious (V.1 Englisch)
Sirius loves his name. Sirius Orion Black. Sirius Black. But sometime he asks himself what kind of demon possessed his parent to give him such a name. It was ridiculous. Although… this name must be good for something, or not?
It was night as he had an idea. Sirius / Serious! It was perfect. Immediately he jumps out of his bed. „Moony, Prongs, Wormtail! Wake up! I´ve got an idea! Come on. Lumos maxima! “A bright light appears from his wand. Sirius jumps up and down. His friends groan.
“Sirius? What’s wrong with you? Are you bitten by a flea? Why do you scream so loud at this night-time?” Remus pulls away his curtain. Sirius looks at him. Then he smiles broadly. “What’s my name?”
“Must be a big flea. Eats his brain!” James and Peter laughs. Sirius looks at them. “I have an idea. How’s my name? “
Remus sighs. “Are you serious, Sirius? I’ve got an exam tomorrow. Let me sleep!” He turns to the other side, but in the next moment Sirius cuddle him. “Sirius!?”
Sirius let him go. “You are right, Remus! “ With another broad grin he goes to bed again. “Nox!” The light turns out.
His friends first look to him and then to each other. Remus twitches with his shoulders. “Giant flea!” murmurs James and they fall asleep again.
Remus wakes up his friends in the next morning. James sits next to Sirius. “Do you feel better, Pads, or shall I bring you to Madame Pomfrey. Maybe she could give you a potion to calm you down?” Sirius grins broadly. Then he starts to giggle.
He still giggles as they go to breakfast. The other students look at them and began to whisper. “What has he done now?” Asks Molly. The friends twitch with their shoulders. „I think he took a potion! “ James looks to Sirius.
Remus shoves his plate away and put his book on the table. He began to read. Sirius looks over his shoulder. “Moony, you know that you know everything. You don’t have to learn. It’s all in your handsome little head!” Remus growls and continued to read.
Sirius turns his eyes to heaven. Then he takes away Remus book and holds it so high that Remus can’t get it. “Sirius, I must learn. Write an exam. Give it back to me! “Remus reaches for his book but Sirius holds it higher.
In the next moment someone take the book out of his hands. He looks behind him. Lily stands there. She gives Remus his book. He thanks her and read again. “Seriously, Sirius. Can’t you be rational? And be serious?” Sirius looks at her in astonishment. He stops giggling and thinks a moment. “Hm. I am Sirius. Can you please repeat the sentence?” He starts giggling again. This time because of the expression of Lily’s face. She turns up her nose and turn away.
“I think Ms Evans is right, Black. Although I don’t like her. You are a shame for the family. The family Black is a serious thing. And you are a black sheep beneath them. Try to be serious, Black. Take an example by Cissy and Bella.” Lucius Malfoy stands there. Behind him are Narcissa and Bellatrix Black.
Narcissa smiles. “I would rather say he is the white sheep of the family Black.” Sirius blows a kiss to her. “Thanks dear cousin.´” Then he start to giggle again. The Slytherin goes to their table.
After the breakfast they split. Remus goes to Charms and the others to McGonagall’s class. She looks at them. “Today you will show me the hex you should learn. On your tables stand different things you shall bewitch to other things. It must have the same height or the same kind. You could try it in silence and I go to every table to look.”
They start. Sirius looks to James who was in the test right now. He has turned a stone into a Golden Snitch and a rose into a lily. James looks to Sirius and blinks to him. Then he stood up and without listening to McGonagall’s words he took the lily and brings her to Lily. She blushes. McGonagall looks angry to him but says nothing.
Now she came to Sirius. “It’s your turn, Mr Black. But before you start. Where is Mr Lupin?” Sirius looks at her. He thinks about how often he could bring her to say Serious Black. Three times maybe? He starts to smile. “Mr Black. Answer! “McGonagall sounds impatient. “Remus has an exam!” “Good, start now!”
On his table lie a flower and a piece of old parchment paper. Short he thinks. His wand touches the flower. First nothing happened. But then the flower jump in the air and grows bigger and bigger. Then suddenly it becomes a palm tree which screen Sirius from McGonagall. The he makes out of the paper a little paper dog and blow life into him.
McGonagall stops the hex at the flower. “That was good, Mr Black.” She says and took her glasses and her hat on the right place. She sees the dog. “Whose dog is this?” Sirius looks at her in astonishment. „Which dog?“ McGonagall points to the dog. „Ah, this dog. It’s the second charm. “ She was forehead frowning. “Be serious, Mr Black. You can’t say that a dog is the same as a paper!”
“No it’s not. But the dog becomes a paper dog. Look!” He touches the dog with his wand. The dogs become paper again. McGonagall sights. „I wish you were so serious with the work and not only with your pranks. You know that normally your hex doesn’t count?”
Sirius looks at her with puppy eyes. She sights again. “Good. I don’t want be so. You and Mr Potter could go. But don’t prank someone or I take fifty points from Gryffindor. Get this to Hagrid.” She points on a letter and a brown bag.
Sirius and James go to Hagrid and give him the things from her professor. Hagrid was happy and inviting them into his hut to drink coffee and eat cookies. As soon as they were inside Fang, Hagrids boarhound, jumps on Sirius and they scuffle on the ground.
Hagrid looks asking to James and points to Sirius. “Is he never serious?” Sirius sits suddenly up. “Have you heard that, fang? Hagrid has said it too! Yes!! “He lifts one hand in the air and smiles broad. Fang look at him and the he lick over his face.
“Phew!!“ Hagrid and James laughs. “Stop laughing. It’s a serio… bad thing.” James helps Sirius to stand up. He whispers in his ear:” Now you know how it feels, Padfoot.” Sirius sticks out his tongue to lick James. But James dodges away.
They stay by Hagrid until it was time to go to the great hall to eat. Afterwards they go with their friends in their dorm. Sirius sits silent on his bed and thinks about something. James watches him count something on his fingers. He winks Remus to him. “Should we give him an abacus? Maybe it helps.” Remus laughs. Then he puts his finger on his lips and blinks to Peter and goes on his toe tips to Sirius. Carefully he sits beneath him and then he blows him into the ear.
Sirius jerks and falls out of his bed. His friend’s laughs. Remus looks with guilty grin to Sirius. “Are you okay, Pads?” He helps him to stand up.
„Moony are you serious? Now i must count all again! Can’t you hold back your Inner Marauder?” Remus looks at him. “Why should I?” He dodged out a pillow. In no time they have a big pillow war. Suddenly a prefect came in and looks angrily at them. “Are you serious? How old are you? Go to bed or I take away points!” He vanished.
They were silent for a moment. Then Sirius jumps suddenly and screams: “I got it. Ten times!! Yes!!” His friends look at him as if he was mad. Remus goes to Sirius and put a hand on his forehead. “I know it. He is ill.” Sirius pulls Remus to him. „No lovely Moony. Ten times someone says to me “Are you serious?” Understand?! Serious Sirius?” He starts to giggle.
Remus sights. No one but Sirius can have such an idea.
