The rest of the week past quite quickly. The Weasley's had arrived a few hours ago, everybody had their breakfast together and were planning what to do next.
Meanwhile, a very sulky Sirius was roaming around the house like Nearly Headless Nick. He entered the Library to find Remus hunting for books. It was a full moon last night and wasn't very well, so he decided to spend his time in the library. Sirius went in and slumped on the armchair beside him.
"You know what Moony. I really like the Weasley's, all of them. They are nice to Harry, Harry is happy with them. But, those two rotten carrots.", said Sirius punching the armrest. Remus looked at him and laughed.
"What, you mean Fred and George? What's wrong with? They're enjoying themselves and so is everyone else, except you.", said Remus.
"Haha, very funny. You know very well, what am I talking about. Those two are stuck with her. And look at her....she is laughing with them, playing with them. For Merlin's sake Moony, she is so happy with them. I don't even remember when did I last see her like this...You know she used to be like this when she was with us.", said Sirius reminiscing, "You know what Moony, I will talk to them once. But, if they don't control themselves, I would...never mind that. I'll tell you later." He had a mischievous glint in his eyes and an evil smile on his face. With that, he left.
"Merlin, save them.", sighed Remus.
Fred, George, and Blaze were sitting on the stairs. Fred and George were telling her about their time at Hogwarts and how they charmed the Slytherin house to sing the school song whenever they tried to speak. She was laughing at them and enjoying herself, it was just like old times. Just the Harry came at sat beside her, "Are you still pissed-off on that motorbike mishap?", he asked her. She ignored him and kept talking to the other two.
"But, I said I was 'sorry'. I really am. We were just too happy to think. Please, it's almost been a week and you haven't been talking to me. I don't really like it this way. Please, I am really sorry.", said, Harry. She then turned to him and ruffled his messy hair. "I reckon you've learned your lesson. And you know what, I didn't like it that way either.", she said smiling at him. He hugged her, though he wasn't much of a 'hugger'. "Now that you are back to normal, I was thinking if we could get some ice cream. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, everyone fancies a treat. So can we get some? We don't really feel like going out, just now."
"Fine. You smart, brat. I get you some. I have to go to the Ministry now, there is an Auror meeting to attend. I get you some on my way back. I won't be long.", said Blaze and headed to her room to get ready and leave. Arthur was coming with her. She had to address the Aurors on the recent disturbance going on in Azkaban. But the worst of all was that she had assigned a group of Aurors to perform a check in Azkaban and she was to accompany them. Nobody but Arthur knew about this and she had asked him not tell anyone about it. The check would take place today night and she would be returning the next morning.
They left for the Ministry within an hour. Sirius was waiting for them to leave so that he could corner the Weasley twins. Everybody was playing a game of Quidditch and then they went on to have Lunch. Sirius decided that he would talk to them after Lunch. It was almost two hours when he finally managed to capture them. He pulled them into the empty sitting room and pushed them to the wall facewards, holding their hands behind their backs.
"Hullo, Shiviush. Ow are oo much?", said Fred unable to speak properly.
"Oh I'm fine, lovely thanks. But, I don't think you will be. After I am done with you two. Now listen here, the both of you. Stop tailing her like bees. I will not bear it any longer. And If you don't stop you will reg...", but before Sirius could finish his sentence, Blaze burst in and said, "Who fancies some butterbeer and ice cream?" Sirius quickly straightened them and before he could turn his head towards them, they raised their hands and yelled, "Me" in unison. Sirius was glaring daggers at them, but they winked at him at followed her out. He followed them to the kitchen. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Bill, Molly, and Remus everyone was there. He sat between Fred and George, who was sitting opposite Blaze. Just then Ron said, "This is bloody brilliant. You brought all the flavors. This is like a party for nothing."
"Shut up Ron. Thank you so much Blaze.", said Hermione and nudged Ron. Harry was laughing. Then Molly moved forward and started serving, "Alright everyone now tells me your favorite flavor, quick."
Ron went first, "I'd like some Strawberry, mum." "Me too", said Harry. "Me three.", said Hermione. Molly passed them their ice creams. "Now, what do you prefer Bill? Is Vanilla like every time?", Bill nodded, "Now what you Fred, George and Sirius?"
"Butterscotch", chorused Fred and George.
"I prefer Chocolate.", said Sirius
"Same", said Remus.
"And what about you Blaze?"
"Um....actually Molly, I have some unfinished business to attend. So I will be leaving now. I just came to give them the ice creams. But, save some for me, I'll have it when I'm back.", said Blaze and left. She was to be at the Ministry, in 10 mins to travel to Azkaban.
Molly was staring hard at the ice creams. "You know you can eat it, Molly?", said, Sirius. "It's not that Sirius. I was thinking which one would she prefer, so I could keep some for her.", she replied.
"Oh, keep some Chocolate. It's her favorite.", he said receiving stares from everywhere.
The Aurors had left for Azkaban by 8 in the evening. Blaze informed Arthur about her trip and that she will be late.
Arthur returned to Grimmauld Place to find busy playing a Gobstones tournament. Fred and George were sick, they had an upset stomach. Everyone thought it was too much food, except Remus who knew that it was Sirius.
By 11 everyone had retired to beds. Except for Remus and Sirius who were waiting for Blaze.
"I hope she is alright?", said, Sirius.
"Don't worry Padfoot. Arthur told me that she will be late today. He said they have check-in Azkaban, and that the Aurors were performing it.", told Remus.
They waited and waited and waited and eventually fell asleep on the table. It was 8 in the morning when they heard the knocker. Both men rushed to open the door. It was Blaze very pale and tired. Her jacket was in her hand, which had bandages and stitch marks on it.
"Thank Merlin. Blaze, we were worried sick.", said Remus hugging her.
"But why? I asked Arthur to inform you, didn't.", she asked, pulling away and walking towards the kitchen.
"Yes, that you will be Azkaban and we shouldn't worry. I mean what nonsense.", said, Sirius. She ignored him and sat down. Remus brought her the Chocolate ice cream and asked her to eat. Then he sat down beside her and then Sirius said, "Yes, but we were worried."
"What about the cuts?", asked Remus. She stood up and said, "Bellatrix Lestrange. And yeah, no one needs to worry about me. I can take care of myself. Now, excuse me.", and with that, she left.
"Madwoman, says 'no one needs to worry about me. I can take care of myself.' Look at her Moony, coming from Azkaban and speaking rubbish. Bloody dementors have sucked whatever little life was left in her. It's absolutely unbearable to see all those memories again.", said Sirius walking upstairs to his room.
He saw that the door to Fred and George's room was open. He gave Remus an evil smile and walked towards it. But, his smile faded even quicker. Blaze was sitting on their bedside and talking to them. All of them were smiling.
"At least, there is one good thing they can do. This will help her forget Azkaban. But, I think the upset stomach didn't have the desired effect. We have to come up with another plan, Moony.", said Sirius and left.
