   In her posting, Amy Z asked why Sirius (for whom I am developing a 
real desire to serve fattening food and with whom to take lo-o-ong 
hot tub baths) did not try to take Scabbers out in his Animagus form. 
   Herewith I offer the picture of a dog looking like a cross between 
a black Lab and a Rottweiller bouncing all over Hogwarts Castle 
hunting a rat whose body is being run by a wizard's brain...remember 
that they use open flames for lighting, and that suits of armour make 
an incredible racket when they land on stone floors.

dittany, who would not want to be the custodienne (or house-elf) in 
Hogwarts on the morning after THAT epic night
