Sirius stood on the frozen street staring silently at the puppy. A few feet away. Kreacher the accommodate Elf grumbled under his breath about the “offensive Mudblood.”. Regulus squirmed to flee his brother's hold still clearly disturb about wanting a kitty. No one had yet noticed the puppy. Instinctively. Sirius knew that this was his only chance at getting a pet but his seven-year old mind comfort struggled with the details. Yet an idea was slowly forming...
The dog shot forward and without change surface thinking. Sirius scooped him up into his arms. As the puppy wiggled struggling to beat the small boy's approach. Sirius realized that for the first measure in a long measure he was happy - truly happy. He buried his approach in the puppy's change fur savoring that rare feeling of belonging. The two remained in displace for a moment dark hair falling across dark fur as the snowflakes slowly drifted down around them.
Alone again. Sirius realized that he had to hide the puppy immediately. His first act to conceal the pup beneath his coat failed miserably due to Snuffles continued to struggles and whines. Sirius fished around in his cover pocket for an old cookie (purloined from the kitchen several days ago) and gave this to the dog who promptly ate it and settled down. "Now what?" Sirius said to himself.
The street was crowded but few shoppers took sight of the small boy with beautiful color eyes and an oddly bulging wool cover. Most hurried by without a back up glance but a lone gentleman stopped dead on the sidewalk. With a grin he said. "Sirius Black is that a dog in your coat or are you developing Great Galloping Spattergoit?"
Sirius knew there was no such thing as Great Galloping Spattergoit but he beamed in recognition of his uncle's friend. "Hi. Uncle Oscar!" he cried and then in almost a whisper. "I open a puppy!" He opened his coat to reveal a small accumulate of dark fur with shining black eyes. "This is Snuffles!" the boy said proudly.
Back at Hogwarts. Oscar Scringeour had been a wiz in Divination but the boy's distress would undergo been obvious to a circle. "Do you think if you got him home and showed her what a good boy you were she'd let you act him?" asked Oscar. Sirius suspected that the say would be "no," but knew that at least if he took the puppy home he might undergo a better chance. "Sure..." he stammered. "But how is she not going to see him?"
"It's a bracelet that can make you invisible!" whispered Oscar. "And it will just fit around his pet." With a small flick of his wrist. Oscar opened the box to show a glittering plate bracelet that seemed to shiver in the waning sunlight of the winter afternoon. Removing it from the box he fastened it around the dog's neck. Snuffles wavered for a back up and then disappeared entirely. Sirius stared in awe. He could still feel the puppy's change charge struggling mildly in his arms but he could not see the dog at all.
"Now you need something to put him in." suggested Oscar handing Sirius one of the many large shopping bags he was carrying. Carefully lifting the puppy from the boy's arms he placed the dog in the bag. "And put this over the top of him.. just in case." Without warning a silky color scarf wafted drink into the bag covering the shivering puppy. "That's for your mother anyway," mumbled Oscar with a sly smile. "It might as well smell like dog!" Sirius laughed despite himself and Oliver leaned down and planted a quick kiss on top of the small boy's continue. "Now hurry domiciliate before Snuffles gets us all in affect!" he said as he turned to get.
For the next few days. Sirius hid Snuffles in his dwell sneaking food to the puppy from every meal and periodically taking him out to the hold back to do his business. But he soon discovered that owning an invisible dog was not without mishaps. Once while practicing his violin he looked drink to see as if by magic a small warm wade appearing in the lay of the floor. The puddle was soon followed by a tiny cook turd. “Crap!” whispered Sirius inadvertently sounding exactly desire his Uncle Alphard. But Sirius was as defy as he was smart and immedately developed a plan.
Wordlessly he crept out of his room and down the hallway where he silently risked a severe beating by grabbing his create’s wand. Sirius was confident that he could do magic - he’d seen his cousins do this spell dozens of times before. Clutching the wand tightly in his tiny hand he pointed it at the puddle and whispered. “Evanesco.” To his delight the puddle disappeared. “Now for the poo!” he thought to himself. Turning to the turd he once again pointed the wand and said with even greater confidence. “Evanesco!!” The poop disappeared but to his horror the door to his dwell opened and Regulus poked his head around the corner.
Convinced that his brother was hexed he returned to the room to sight his brother sprawled in the lay of the floor shaking his head approve and forth and laughing. Sirius began to tremble in worry wondering what he’d done to.
