Sirius' Journal Years



Which means we come up with a diary/journal entry of what you think our Young or Older Sirius might have wrote down if he ever contributed to writing a journal (Diary is the term that girls use while Journal is the term that boys use). It can be at any stage of the HP series or if you want to venture beyond the veil. It can be funny or sad, it is all up to you.

The credit for this wonderful game came from the idea of "Wild_Prairie_Gal" and is a success within another fan club(MMFC). Have fun and enjoy your wonderful journal entries.

Example:

Dear Journal,
Today of all days was quite interesting to say the least. During my morning ritual of hexing my dearest and closest enemy, Snivellus, I came to realize that I am quite interested in learning more about what is being called 'My Animagus' form. Since I am noted as being quite the bark of the school with laugh, I think that I should help out my dear friend and Marauder, Moony, or Moody as I like to call him, with his time of the month change formation and I think that I shall call myself the every powerful, Padfoot, King of the Black Dogs, although I believe that James would just prefer Padfoot.
Sincerely Serious,
Sirius

Dear Journal,

I woke up today upon hearing my friends talk and laugh. James reminded me what tonight was. It was going to be a full moon, so, we would once again accompany Remus to the Shrieking Shack as he transforms into his wolf form.



As night time came, we again hid under James’s cloak. I am still surprised however, at the fact that the four of us can fit under that old thing. We cleverly used the map we invented to avoid the ghosts, poltergeists, professors, and other people who would want to stop us from leaving the school.



When we reached the forest near the shack, James, Peter, and I transformed into our Animagi form. Then, we all went inside the shack. We watched as Remus transformed into his werewolf form. Since he took his potion, Remus was never a threat to anybody.



We decided too take a stroll in Hogsmeade. The place wasn’t filled with a lot of people, not like when we have our trips organized by the professors, but it wasn’t deserted either. I stole a turkey from an old batty lady. She chased me with a broom halfway to the shack. We all ate the turkey inside the shack. It was really very odd to see a James as a Stag eat meat. We laughed about the incident in Hogsmeade. James suggested I should make my Animagi form permanent.



I have to go now, We’re playing a little prank on Snivellus! It will be wicked awesome! I’ll write to you all about what happened tomorrow…

Dear Journal,

As I promised, I’ll tell you all about the prank we did on Snivellus.



We have been planning for days!!! We finally came up with the greatest plan we have yet concocted!



When I woke up today, I had a sly grin on my face. The boys were still sleeping, so I got my pillow and hit them with it one by one, saying, “Come on mates! Wake up! Today’s the day!!!” We had a pillow fight before we had breakfast.



When we got to the Great Hall, Snivellus was already down there. We hurriedly ate our breakfast and went to our positions for the biggest and funniest prank the school has ever seen yet!



As we predicted, the old oil grease set off towards the lake where he would read his little book and come up with little spells…or so he thought! As he was walking in the halls, James and I gave him the fright of his life!!! We hid behind an intersecting corridor, then when the time was right, jumped out and yelled, “Shove off, please, Oil Grease!” Merlin! Could that bloke run! He screamed and cursed us! James and I were practically dying of laughter seeing his face and see him running for his life!!! He never expected us to be there since that hall lead to a classroom!



Meanwhile, Remus was waiting for him near the end of the hallway. When the bloke reached that part, Remus threw a couple of water balloons at old Snivellus and then, with this horn in a can we bought from Zonko’s, startled him with the intense sharpness and loudness of the sound. It seemed like a shriek of a Banshee to me, though.

He was about to hex Remus when Peter showed up.



Peter was holding a bucket of gillyweed extracts, which I would never had known existed until we saw some for sale in Diagon Alley. Peter dumped it on his head. His hair became greasier than before. Then the bloke turned to Peter and tried to hex him!!! Remus quickly pushed him out of the way and cleverly dodged the hex! Then Snivellus got all angry and shouted, “I don’t have time for this!” Then he strode towards the grounds.



We hurriedly followed him towards the lake. People stared at Snivellus noticing that he was greasier than usual. They also saw us following the bloke so they followed too. I was already wearing a smile of triumph knowing that the prank still wasn’t over.



When Snivellus finally reached the lake, that’s when he realized we had followed him. The bloke continued on to his favorite tree then turned around to see we were still following him. He looked at me face to face and snarled at me. “Haven’t had enough, eh, Black?” he said taking out his wand. Little did he know that Remus and James climbed up that tree. “Nope! Not yet, Snivellus!” I said cunningly. Then James yelled, “Hey, Oil Grease! Heads up!!!” Snivellus was startled and looked up immediately. That’s when James and Remus dumped two gallons of Barbecue sauce on him.



Everyone laughed. I reached in my pocket and sprinkled him some meat bits I saved from breakfast. James and Remus jumped down from the tree and joined me and Peter marveling at the sight in front of us. “Nice sauce there, Snivellus!” Peter remarked. “Yeah, it matches your hair, old Oil Grease!” Remus chirped in. “You….you….” he muttered. “Us what? Oh! Yeah! It was us who did this to you!” James said giving me a pat on the back. “Pretty clever for boys who frequently get detention, huh?” I teased. He glared at us for a long time, clenching his wand and his book. “Come, now, Snivellus!!! Everyone loves it when we get you!!! Just listen to their laughter and their cheers!” James said pointing to the gathering crowd. Old Snivellus never moved a muscle.



We turned away victorious. I turned and look back at him. “Hey, Oil Grease, you might want to consider moving. Those ravens are coming in fast!” I advised him. He looked behind him and there, he saw a flock of Ravens charging towards him, apparently hungry for the meat bits I sprinkled on him.



We are currently celebrating our victory in our dormitory. Everyone loved our little prank! Alas, I must go before the boys eat my turkey leg or better yet, pin the meat bits on Snivellus without me!

Dear Journal,

Today could not have turned out worse. It began in potions class. Who cares about potions. It's only a course someone as weak and wormy as Snape would enjoy. Anyways, the professor called on me to prepare a potion to transform a rat into a bunny. I followed the directions, winking at James and Lily as I did and just as it was about to be comleted, it exploded all over the professor and I and we began to sprout fur on our bellies.

As if that weren't bad enough, the cute medi-wizard was working in the hospital ward and she kept telling me how soft and silky my hair was as she rubbed belly fur. I was so humiliated.

Finally, at dinner, as we were about to anjoy a pleasant meal, the stupid Potions Professor called me to the head of the hall to show everyone what I had accomplished, since he had yet to get his fur taken care of. As I was headed back to the table, people kept putting a bunny tail and ears on me.

So much for the great plans I had when I woke up.

Padfoot cottontail...out.

Dear Journal...

Dear Journal?, I really feel like a woman writing those two words. I have to find a more masculine way of writing that. Maybe something like Dear Motor magazine… or Hey! Don't run away from me when I'm talking to you just because I am so big and strong. Yeah that will do…

Hey! Don't run away from me when I'm talking to you just because I am so big and strong...

Today was nothing to write home about, and I won't… I'll just write it in here - In a very masculine way of course. Well, this morning I didn't get dressed before noon. I think Mrs. Mathison, next door was looking at my end when I was out to grab the muggle paper. I can't blame her though. I just find it annoying that I have to be so attractive to every woman that lays her eyes on me. Anyway I've been singing along on the new song from Fidilus Bramba-Bramba-Band. In case you haven't 'heard' it I'll sing a little bit… in a very masculine way of course…

You are so good.. oh yeah.. goodie.. goodie.. yeah.. so good.. wohooo.. good good good... yeah.. oh, oh oh... so goooooood... yeah.. bramba-bramba.. so good.. yeah..

Well that was the highlights of the day... I suppose you don't want to hear of all the Death Eaters that I've arrested today...

Love.. no... uhhm.. Go.. go.. uhhm.. Go me..

Go ME!! well yeah.. Sirius..

anywho it was 45902 death eaters...

Dear Journal,

It has been a year since I escaped from Azkaban and went in hiding inside a cave near Hogsmeade. What is very unbelievable though, is that I have kept you...I have kept you?! God, I feel like I’m really talking to someone…anyway, what is very unbelievable is that I have kept you throughout these years. No one ever found out about you.



Now, about my day…it wasn’t really anything special. Not as special as I had in school with my best mates! I’ve been missing James for years now. I can’t even believe that I’m admitting this to a journal, but, I do.



About my day, I had been disguising myself again in my Animagi form. I took a stroll around Hogsmeade. A little girl was very fond of me. We played for a while and she even offered me some treats! I saved some for Buckbeak and kept them in a newspaper I found.



I headed for the cave a little bit before dark. The Hippogriff was apparently glad to see me with food!!! He attacked the meat like a vulture! Well, after three days of not eating, it just seemed right for him to do that.



So now, I find myself thinking about James’s and Lily’s son, Harry. I think I have produced an overprotecting emotion for the boy. Well, he is after all, my best mate’s son. And I also find myself thinking about the couple a lot. I miss those times I had with James. I can’t believe I’m crying. I’ll have to dry my tears now, or else, they will blotch the ink on you.



I’ve learned that it takes a real man to cry.*sniff* I just hope that if ever anyone finds this journal, this page will be impossible to read.



Sincerely,

Sirius Black

Padfoot's Log, entry dated today

I have made a discovery which I find quite intriguing and which has endless potential for my amusement. As I was tormenting Kreacher, I discovered that when he is poked with a feather, he makes the whiniest, awfullest crying laugh I have ever heard. While I was doing this to him, making him squirm on the ground, I noticed that it casued all the portraits in the house to point and laugh at that miserable creature.

I would have kept on doing it, but Molly said it was cruel and a poor example for the children. As if I don't have enough to deal with, now I have to be a good example.

Ponders going to Fred and George to see if I can be part of their research and development team.

I also discovered, much to my displeasure, that the stupid bunny fur I produced in potions class at Hogwarts comes out at the most inopportune times.

Well, If I find out anything else, I'll let you know.

Padfoot out.

Dear Journal,



Merlin’s beard! James wrote in my journal! Let me read it first.



I’ll get that bloke later, for now, I’ll write about my day. I didn’t sleep a lot since last night. It wasn’t because of the snoring, snoring is okay…makes me feel surrounded by friends even though it is a little weird. It’s because I was thinking of what else I could come up with to tell the boys that I dreamed.



So anyway, it was a bit cloudy today. We had bacon and eggs for breakfast. Remus told us that he dreamt he turned into an out of control werewolf! That would be absurd though! He always takes his potion the day before he turns into a werewolf. Peter dreamt he failed Defense Against The Dark Arts. He isn’t really good at that subject. Remus is usually the smart one. James dreamt about Lily, as usual…so I told them I dreamt of finally seeing the Giant Squid in the lake! James didn’t believe me…now I know why! He read my journal!!! Okay, focus…



After breakfast, we had the privilege to visit Hogsmeade. The place was decorated with pumpkins and ghosts and ghouls and all those Halloween stuff! We bought a lot of sweets from Honeydukes and some, how shall I call it? Equipment? Yes, equipment from The Joke Shop. We’re always thinking of Snivellus! We had some butterbeer too!



When we got back to Hogwarts, we had the Halloween Feast! Pumpkin pasties, cakes, pastries! Everything was so delicious! Professor Slughorn, I noticed, was wearing a strange hat that had a pumpkin and a few vines. Grown in the greenhouses, I suspect.



Now, I have a terrible stomach ache from eating all those sweets! But I still have to deal with James. I’m off to give him the worst beating up of his life!



Oh! And before I sign off, I noticed that when we Marauders walk around in school or anywhere at all, we call ourselves by our nicknames, Moony [Remus], Wormtail [Peter], Padfoot [me], and Prongs [James]. But in this journal, I call them by their names. It’s nice to mention our real names once in a while…Well, I’m off to clobber James!



Signed,

Sirius Black

Dear Journal,

Today was a rather interesting day. I was a bit bored here at the house so I decided I would go for a walk. It soon turned into a mad chase and I was running for my life. Yes, I was almost a victim of the dog catcher. I shall elaborate at a later date. Right now I'm hungry and I'm craving Pumpkin Pasties. I hope there are still some left. Until next time.

Sincerely,

Sirius black

Journal,

This is an update. Today was another day where I just had to get away. I felt as if I remained in that castle one more minute I would explode. I went to one of our secret exits, transformed and left, heading toward Hogsmeade.

Everything was great. People seem to like my dog form and they are very friendly with the treats. One shopkeeper was very friendly, I think her name is ROsmerta. She is very beautiful and I just love it when she rubs my belly. (growls)

After I left her shop, I was on my way to the shrieking shack to return and I spotted the dogcatcher. I hoped that he had not seen, me, but I was not to be that lucky. HE took off after me on that rickety old broom. (honestly, I've no idea how he doesn't fall off and that thing shatter to pieces.)

I was running as fast as I could, but still he kept gaining. Just as I felt I could run no longer, I reached the shrieking shack, found our room upstairs and transformed in time to see the dogcatcher coming in. He looked as though he were going to throw up and so I just started howling like Remus. Shortly after that, he ran from there and I laughed all the way back to the castle...thinking of Rosmerta of course.

Padfoot out.

Oh dear journal,
this is funny, Lily Evans, who thinks James is big headed and a show off, well she's paying more attention to us all now, especially James. we were all laughing about it earlier when she came around the corner, and both of them turned a dark crimson red. oddly enough, i'm beginning to suspect that the two of them will be friends, at least, here soon. odd, considering she always came off as someone who didn't like James, oh well. not much else going on, Snivellus is still loads of fun to pick on, altho Remus Prefect isnt' too please, oh well. school is still boring, nearly fell asleep in class again....

Sirius over and out
