Harry Potter: The Witty Wizard

After Sirius left the Grangers' he headed directly back to his temporary home at the Tonkses'.

He was still trying to do his best not to go out too often as he knew Andi would get upset with him. However, as he'd previously explained to her, sometimes there was no help for it. This was one of the times he had to go in person.

However, after reading Dumbledore's letter and Harry's response for it, he didn't want Harry risking his magic. Not when he could probably do something about it.

He walked into the Tonkses' lounge and used their floo to floo-call Ted.

"What can I do for you, Sirius?" the law-wizard asked. "Nothing the matter, is there?"

"I found out, today, that there's supposed to be a Yule Ball at Hogwarts this year," he replied. "I need to know a couple of things. As they're all legal issues, I need you to chase them up for me."

"Let me guess," said Ted. "You want me to get hold of a copy of the contract that concerns the Tri-Wizard Tournament, see if Harry is actually bound by it, see if he actually has to attend this Yule Ball and see if I can get the boy out of it; both the Ball and the contract."

"Got it all in one," replied Sirius. "I'd suggest targeting Ludo Bagman and getting it off him. The man is both a wuss and supposedly co-wrote it."

"How much do you want me to lean on him?"

"Go four-chaser press," replied Sirius. "Even use Harry is now One of the Seven, his godfather is One of the Seven and, if Harry even gets a nosebleed from any event related in any way with the Tournament, Lord Black will be declaring full-on blood feud with him, his family, his friends and the families of his friends."

Ted gave a low whistle. "The man's going to wet himself!"

"I don't care," replied Sirius. "So long as he gives you a full copy of any and all contracts related to the Tournament, I don't care if he then runs naked down the middle of Diagon Alley in terror. It'll only demonstrate it's not a good idea to upset the House of Black."

"I'll get it done today," nodded Ted.

"Next job," said Sirius. "Though, this one can take you a few days."

"Go on," nodded Ted.

"I... or, rather, Harry... needs someone to go to take a look at three different wizarding items to check on and write down something."

"And what would those be?"

Sirius listed the items off, what information he needed off them, where it should be able to be found on two of the items and where it should be able to be found regarding the third.

Ted looked at what he had written in confusion for a moment before he gave a bark of laughter. Chortling, he said, "I now know what Lord Potter's defence strategy is going to be in your possible case of Violating the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts laws."

"You mean―"

"Yep!"

Shocked, Sirius said, "That's―"

"Brilliant!" cut in Ted. "Yep!"

"He's going to make them all look like idiots!"

"Try... 'daft morons'," suggested Ted. "After all, he seems to have made a habit of that, of late.

"Plus, I'm going to add another such item to the list. But, that's because he clearly doesn't know of it."

Sirius laughed. "What is it?"

Ted told him.

"You're kidd... no; wait! It is, isn't it?"

"Yep!" replied the law-wizard; and laughed.

"Thanks, Ted," Sirius chuckled, before pulling his head out of the flames.

'My godson is a genius!' he thought, still chuckling. 'Prongs would be so proud! So would his mother, too, I suspect.'

When Andi arrived home from her early shift, she took one look at Sirius madly working through documents while still chuckling about the 'prank' his godson was going to pull on those 'stuffed robes' on the Wizengamot and barked, "Sirius Black!"

Being focussed on what he was doing and thinking, Sirius hadn't heard the floo or her arrival. Besides, as this was also her home, she didn't announce herself.
