Diagon Alley | 16th December 1985 | 1 PM
Charlus and Harry were looking for Sirius in the heat as they were very hungry and wanted to go home. They had already seen everything they felt excited and just wanted to go home. But they couldn't seem to find Sirius. While Sirius was a great parent, giving them a pouch full of galleons and telling them to enjoy and all, he wasn't exactly a responsible one. He didn't tell the kids where they could find him.
Meanwhile, Sirius was eating some Ice Cream at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. He suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at his ice cream. Nothing wrong with it. He licked it again, and he slowly became lost in the sublime taste of the divine ice cream. It was melting in his mouth, and the sweetness slowly permeated his mouth.
"You want some boy?" Florean asked a child beside Sirius. Sirius turned to look at what was happening. He saw a boy who looked like he was 6 years old. He actually shared a lot of similarities with Harry.
The light bulb in Sirius' head suddenly lit up. Harry! Sirius hadn't told them where to find him. He cursed himself for his stupidity. He stood up abruptly and thought about what he should do. But he didn't rush of in a frenzy to find the kids before taking a lick of the divine ice cream. No point in wasting food, he thought. He then threw the ice cream and started running to the obvious places where he would find the boys.

Honeydukes | 16thDecember 1985 | 1 PM
"Did anyone see two boys, one with blond hair and the other one with black?"
Sirius barged into the Honeydukes store and asked the store attendant. The surprised girl took a while to recollect her memory of the day, and then shook her head. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember any pair of brothers with black and blonde hair.
Sirius immediately rushed out and then went to Zonko's. He entered the store and saw Zonko.
"Hey Zonko, did you see two boys, black and blonde haired-"
"Oh yes Sirius! They came here an hour ago. I told them their tab was on you. I thought you came here because they told you I asked for you."
"How much was their tab?"
Sirius was slightly distracted when he conversed with a long-time acquaintance. He took out his pouch.
"Theirs was 23 Galleons. But yours was much, much more. You still owe me a round figure of 500 Galleons."
Sirius laughed sheepishly.
"You see Zonko, I don't have that kind of money with me now. How about his? You take these 300 Galleons, and I'll give you the rest later."
Sirius left the pouch on the counter and ran out of the store. Zonko laughed heartily. Gia however was outright confused.
"Mr. Zonko? Why did you leave them? They still owe 200 Galleons. That's if the pouch he left really has 300 galleons. That's a lot of money. And you left the boys when they had to pay."
Zonko said, "Listen Gia. You see this store? This store would be around 10000 Galleons. Now that man you saw running like a dog is chasing him owned this store back in the 70s. He sold it to me for an exceptionally low price. He sold it for 3000 Galleons. His family still owns a few stores around here."
Gia was shocked. Only very old, pure-blood families would have that level of wealth. But the behavior of the man definitely did not in any way indicate that he was from a noble family. That man would leave a lot of doubt in the mind of Gia.
Meanwhile, Sirius came back to the Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. He wanted to kill himself. He had gone around in a circle. He was about to go when he bumped into someone he knew very well.
"Andromeda! I needed to see you! I lost the children, I mean, I left the children at.. uh… Zonko's. I left them at Zonko's and they wandered off. I really need your help to find them."
Andromeda looked at Sirius with a stern look. Behind her, a girl was peeking out, looking at Sirius. She seemed to be around 10-12 years old. Her hair was purple in color, but it was constantly alternating between pink and yellow and then back to purple.
Andromeda looked at Sirius and said, "Really? Where have you looked for them?"
"Well, I looked where children would normally be. I went to Honeydukes, then Zonko's, Three Broomsticks, then here to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. I looked everywhere a kid would be."
"Everywhere a kid would be? Honeydukes, then Zonko's, then here to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. Tell me, do you think you are in Hogsmeade? Diagon Alley is a place to shop. I found these kids in Flourish and Blotts. What were you thinking, leaving kids alone; in Diagon Alley no less! Since you are their guardian, it is obvious who these kids are. How could you be so irresponsible Sirius? You know how much danger they could-"
"Buuuurp!"
Sirius burped very loudly. He looked behind him and saw that Harry had sneaked behind him and had put a paper to his back.
"Buuurp!"
Harry started laughing along with Charlus and Nymphodora. Charlus and Harry and hidden behind Andromeda and Nymphodora so that Sirius wouldn't notice them. Andromeda's expression also loosened, while she controlled her laughter.
"Prrrrrp!"
Sirius farting broke every obstacle. It was quite a sight to behold, three kids and an adult laughing while another adult was figuring out why he was letting out a large amount of gas.
