Which Harry Potter novel is the quote "Things are gonna get serious for you" from?

Question

I read this quote from Harry Potter in the book or on the Internet, I don't remember. I think I read it 3-4 years ago. It was like

Things are gonna get serious for you.

This quote was a play on his name.

This conversation took place between Sirius Black and someone (who was a Muggle, not a wizard).

I think he was riding his motorcycle as well.

It's a long task to go through all the novels, but I tried looking in those where Sirius appeared. However, I still couldn't find that quote.

No. I don't think so. It was in the snippet of the story.

He usually doesn't, but he was in this one.

The quote is from an untitled 2008 short story sold at a charity auction:

'Things'll be seriously black for you in a minute, you cheeky little--'

Ah, fair enough. I assumed that was authorized since it was so easy to find and openly shown in a well-known site, but feel very free to roll my edit back.

@EvSunWoodard - Here's some more that you probably didn't know existed.

@Gaultheria - A good quality scan of both sides of the postcard used to be freely available online from Waterstone's website. As far as I'm aware, there were never any official transcripts made.

@terdon - HP wiki has a lot of stuff which violate copyrights.
