Within You Is The Light Of Thousand Suns

Happy Birthday Harry

Two days had passed since Blaze left Grimmauld Place. All three boys missed her dearly, although Harry didn't why did he do so. Both Harry and Remus replied to Blaze yesterday informing her that everything was fine here and much they missed her, they also added that they were planning to celebrate Harry's late birthday as they couldn't celebrate it a week earlier and they wanted her to attend it.

Harry and Remus were sitting in the kitchen, planning the event which was supposed to be like a ball. They were busy deciding the menu, just the floo flared and in walked Blaze. She was dressed in her work clothes with Black skinny jeans, ivory button-down shirt with a double gun holster with revolvers on her shoulder and brown ankle-high boots.

"Good afternoon, both of you.", she said distracting both of them, "I see both of you are really busy. What are you up to though?"

"Nothing much just planning tomorrows event.", they chorused together and moved forward to hug her. Remus then spoke, "You must've read about it in the letter we sent. What about you?"

"Oh nothing, I just took an early off to meet my godson.", she said smiling at Harry, who smiled back. Just then they heard a loud 'crash' followed by a 'thump' and ran outside to see what happened.

Apparently, Sirius was in his room when he more than two voices downstairs and as soon as he figured out who it was he rushed downstairs slipped and tumbled down to the last few stairs.

"Merlin Padfoot, what were you up to? Were you trying to jump from the first stair and land on the last, or something of that sort", this was all he heard after which darkness consumed him.

It was two hours of being unconscious and a pitcher if ice cold water on his face later that he gained consciousness. Sitting up against the headboard he looked around and found Remus and Harry on his bedside.

"What happened Sirius? Are you alright?", asked Harry.

"Not to worry kiddo, I was 'walking' downstairs when I slipped and fell down. But I'm fine now.", he replied weakly and then asked, "What happened after I was knocked out, I don't remember anything after that?"

"After you were knock-out me and Blaze we carried you here and I healed your broken ankle but, you didn't wake up and both of us were very worried so Blaze did what she always does. She walked down to the kitchen got a pitcher of water and threw it on you. And it worked as it always does.", replied Remus stifling his laughter.

"But, where is she? I don't see her.", he asked.

"She left soon after, but she promised to attend the Ball tomorrow. I also asked her to stay until the term resumes. She said she will think about it today. Anyways, she told us that she was resigning from her work to join the Ministry of Magic. I... really wish she comes back.", replied Harry. Sirius's face lit up like a Christmas tree and so did Remus's. Then it dawned upon Sirius and he said, "Wait,.....did I just hear Ball. She will be attending it tomorrow...", with that, he looked at his broken ankle and then faced Remus who was rolling on the floor laughing hysterically.

Next morning, the busy residents of Grimmauld Place were found running up and down, right and left preparing for the event which was to take place later that day. At 9:30 a.m. in the morning, Remus helped Sirius to the kitchen for breakfast. Sirius was having his breakfast and simultaneously order Remus to do something or the other. He couldn't much himself now that he an injured ankle to deal with, though the bone was healed, the pain was still too much.

The event was to start at 5 p.m and it was 3:30 already. "Stop fussing Harry and please get ready.", said Remus.

"Alright, I'm going.", said Harry and walked upstairs.

"Hey, Moony can you help me upstairs. I need to get ready too.", requested Sirius. Remus helped him upstairs to his room and was about to leave, when Sirius spoke, "Wear this Moony it will suit you well." and passed on his royal blue robes to him. "I will not hear No as an answer, so wear it and...dance with her own behalf. Don't let any filthy hands on her. Please."

"Sure, My Lord. Anything else.", he replied with a smile.

"No thanks, you may leave now.", said Sirius with his I-am-a pureblood-fear-me look on his face.

It was almost 4:00 p.m. when all three of them were ready and gathered in the hallway. Harry was wearing the dark green robes he brought from Diagon Alley. Remus was already in the hallway waiting for the other two. Harry looked at him in awe and whistled, "You look were handsome today Remus, really."

"That he does.", said Sirius standing on the doorstep of his room, dressed in Burgundy colored robes.

"Both of you don't look bad yourselves.", said Remus with a smirk.

Just then they heard the floo roar and Harry rushed downstairs. The volume of the house increased 10 times, announcing Weasley's arrival.

"Moony, you prat help me get downstairs. The guests have already started arriving.", said, Sirius. Remus moved forward to help him get downstairs when he heard Sirius whisper, "Remember those robes Moony. Those are the ones I wore at the promising ceremony. They're my favorite."

"I noticed Padfoot, don't worry I take good care of everything that is yours.", said Remus with a smile.
