Minerva McGonagall was ready. The start of another school year had come and she was prepared to the best of her ability. Her classroom and office were both gleaming and ready for use, fresh supplies filled them both, and she had a stack of detention slips sitting on her desk. She'd even saved herself the time of writing them out, so the first fifty were already written (divided equally between two names that rhymed with Shames and Delirious) so all she had to do was fill in the appropriate crime and punishment that would inevitably follow. Next to the referrals was a tartan container filled with fresh biscuits, her soft way of luring them in before blinding them with the attack. Yes, she was ready indeed.

She sat behind her desk, her back straight and her eyes piercing, ready for the meeting she had called. As soon as the students had arrived she had sent out a notice to both Potter and Black requesting their presence immediately. It was a yearly thing, they would come in and she would go over the rules, they would promise to act better, she wouldn't believe them but send them on their way, and not three days later they would sit back in her office to start another lecture and receive their punishments.

In a way it was pathetic, but to Minerva McGonagall it was almost refreshing. The world was as it should be.

"Minnie!" Sirius Black was the first of the two to arrive, practically bouncing as he stepped into the professor's office. "How simply wonderful it is to see you! Did you have a great summer? Mine was relaxing, as always. If you hear explosions from Gryffindor Tower, I am just practicing my charms, nothing to worry about!" He took his favorite seat across from McGonagall's desk, grinning at his favorite teacher. "You missed me. You know you did. Your summer must have been so dreadfully dull without me to keep you on your toes."

"Black." she said with a nod of her head to greet him. "First things first, cut the act. We both know why you're here. Where's Potter? I thought you two were attached at the hip these days."

"My summer was lovely. I spent it in a cottage in the countryside and enjoyed the silence." she frowned at him and gestured to the tin. "Have a biscut."

"You always have the best biscuits, Minnie," Sirius said, taking two from the tin. "If I'm ever in the mood for a treat, I just have to drop some dungbombs to be whisked off here." He grinned at her, slouching in his chair and munching on the biscuits happily. "Jamie got distracted by Lily's hair. He took a left when I went straight." The boy shrugged. "Don't know where he got off to this time. I really should put a Tracking Spell on him, don't you think? Where in the country were you? I went to Egypt, didn't manage to get an ounce of color in my skin. Apparently, pale is in for purebloods." Sirius wrinkled his nose and took another bite of biscuit. "You're looking good, though. Silence, apparently, agrees with you."

"Well, a few months away from you will do anyone a world of good Black." Mierva responded. "Very well, I suppose we will have to do the meetins individually then. As you know we have a very strict set of rules here at Hogwarts, and I'd hate to remind you of the many punishments we also have to offer. This is your fifth year here, Mr. Black, and I think by now you're old enough to know the difference between what is approved of and what is pure idiocy."

"Need I remind you of a certain spell used last year to cause the trousers of a certain Slytherin to remain around his ankles for three days." her words were clipped. "Or causing the suits of armor to sing whnever a student walks by. Or organizing a kareoke bar on top of Gryffindor tower at three in the morning."

"Oh, yes, that was a good one," Sirius said, completely shameless. "We've been improving it, though. It should last for a week now, and be harder to counter. And the karaoke bar never served anything stronger than Butterbeer, so I don't see why that was so bad. And the armor was not our fault. They sing Christmas Carols already, probably just got bored and wanted to expand their repetoire. I don't know where they learned the bawdy drinking songs from, but I certainly didn't teach any to them!"

Sirius leaned forward and took another biscuit. They had the same talk every year, and he rather enjoyed it. Who else got personal attention from the professors on the first day? "You have nothing to worry about this year, though, Minnie. Dear little Moony has a prefect pin stuck to his robes. We have to behave around him." Sirius' face was so innocent, his smile so charming, that if you hadn't known him for five years, you'd want to believe he was incapable of Trouble.

"Ah Black, if only I had the incompitance to believe you." Minerva said fondly. "Do you see this stack of papers here? This is a stack of detention slips, already filled with your name and ready for use." she held up the slips. "I'm serious Black, I don't want any funny business this year. I highly doubt that just because Remus Lupin has a prefect badge you will suddenly become an example of kindness. However if I do find out that you're using his priveleges for your own personal gain, not only will I remove his badge but I will also give you detentions helping Mr. Filch clean the restrooms. With a toothbrush."

"Minnie," Sirius said, all smiles and charm. "If you've already filled out the slips, then I have to misbehave! Just so your efforts weren't in vain, you know. Because I care about you." He sat forward, reaching for the slips. "How many do you have there? Looks like a lot. Minnie, you won't punish Remus because I'm trying to do you a favor, right?"

"Wrong. As usual." she answered. "I would rather kill a thousand trees than have to deal with any of your disasters. And whatever prank you and Potter are planning for the feast, I suggest you put a stop to it now. There's no point. Now, moving on, I need you to bring your trunk and other belongings in here. Now please." she eyed him, making it clear that this was not a request but an order.

"We never prank the feast," Sirius said. "That would be sacreligious!" He got to his feet with a sigh. "Fine. I'll be right back. Don't eat all the biscuits, right?" He headed out for his dorm to fetch his things for the yearly inspection (but really, there was no point. Anything truly confiscatable was already hidden. The only thing she might frown at was his cursed broom, but that really wasn't his fault).
