Their English wasn't very good. At all. Stoic Blaise Zabini was in charge of helping Espen for collecting so many detentions in just one month and having experience in speaking Norwegian with one of his deceased stepfathers.

Read on for the story of how Blaise Zabini realised that it is okay to be soft with the help of some unlikely friends.
