You were wandering through Hogsmeade, enjoying the shops and crisp air listening to the crunch of snow under your feet. You were still enjoying a nice December day when a large, shaggy, black dog came up to you wagging its tail.

The dog strangely reminded you of Sirius' Animagus form, thinking that it was him, you began to talk to it as though addressing Sirius. "Though you could fool me, didn't you? I've figured you out, Black." You said smirking proudly of yourself.

But the real Sirius had been watching you from the sidelines, both stunned and amused. You only noticed him when a chuckle escaped his lips.

"This is your new friend, {{user}}?" Black asked with a smirk on his lips. "Although I must admit, this little guy looks like my long-lost cousin."
