the letter
It's been three days since I arrived here at the Dursley house. Not much has happened since the first night though. Harry woke up yesterday and I explained what happened. He kinda panicked and tried to run down to 'complete his chores' when I mentioned he had been unconscious for two days. When he was calm again and stopped laughing at me being a bit scary I told him to go to his room while I fixed us some lunch. What I didn't expect was him to follow me down the stairs and into a broom closet. I asked what he was doing but all I got in response was 'going to my room'. I may have ordered Harry to go into my room, our room, and then flipped my lid at the Dursley family and scared them into following my orders.
So here we are now sitting on my bed eating ham and cheese sandwiches talking about everything and nothing. After three hours of chatting, laughing and catching Harry up on wizarding life, how dare he be deprived of the knowledge of his heritage!, we curled up on the bed I had previously duplicated for the both of us to be able to have a bed and went to sleep. Well, in my case I stayed up wondering if my dad was ok with the full moon last night. Just as I was finally able to start dozing off in the early hours of the morning there was a tapping sound at the window. Getting up carefully not to wake Harry I plodded over to allow in the barn owl.
Once I had taken the letter and the owl had flown away I sat down on the desk chair to read said letter.
Dear miss lupin-black,
I am sad to inform you but your father has gone missing on his mission and we have to assume them to be dead. My deepest condolences and prayers.
Albus Dumbledore
No no nonono this can't be true! It can't be happening. I can't have lost my father. not again! Why does the universe hate me! I start to cry and shake. Before I could comprehend what was going on my magic was whipping around the room making things float and waking up Harry who immediately ran over to me trying to calm me.
"Blaze, Blaze shhh it ok you're ok just breathe with me in and out in and out" Harry spoke calmly approaching me. When he was in front of me he pulled me up and made me stumble across to the bed and sit with him so I could be more comfortable while I tried to copy his breathing. Slowly my breathing was back to semi normal but my magic was still reacting to my emotional distress. " Come on Blaze let's try to draw in that fantastic magic of yours" Harry soothed rubbing my back. "I'm t-tr-trying to," I replied. "Ok let's try this. Can you name five things you can see" "umm. A..a chair, the desk, the photo of us as a baby, the light shade and you" I stutter out. "Good, how about four things you can hear?" "Your voice, the rain outside, a fox fighting and the clock" "great three things you can feel" "you rubbing my back, the duvet and my heart beating" slowly my magic starts to calm down "ok last two two things you can smell and one thing you can taste'' Harry smiled. "Burn toast and Veron's horrid cologne and I can taste the Bertie botts we shared. Thank you hazza" I smiled up at the slightly older boy. "No worries Blaze but do you mind if I ask what happened?" Haz asked worriedly. I got up and picked up the forgotten letter from the floor where I dropped it and handed it to Harry. As he finished reading it he hugged me and allowed me to cry again. "I can't believe I'm on my own my..my dad is good and my papa is in Azkaban... I'm alone.." I say to no one "you're not alone. Be I'm here and I always will be, we can get through this. Ok? Together." Harry said, giving me a final squeeze before releasing me.
We go back to our beds and go to sleep. Hopefully when I wake up it will all be a dream...
****
It sadly wasn't a dream. It's been about a week since I found out Harry and I are all alone. Harry has been trying to keep my mind off it and been planning days out all over the place. And when we aren't going on adventures, as Harry has been calling them, I have been teaching him simple bits of wandless magic after all you never know when it may come in handy...
It is one of these lessons we are doing right now when I have to sit down clutching my head. "Blaze? What's wrong? You ok?" Harry asked coming to sit next to me on the sofa, the Dursleys are out today so we have been able to be downstairs, giving me a worried look. "I'm ok Haz, I think I am just getting a bit of a migraine" I say, giving him a sheepish reassuring smile. "Want me to get you a glass of water?" "Please" as soon as the word left my mouth he's up and walking to the kitchen. What did I do to deserve such a great friend...
Just as Harry was walking back in with the glass of water for me I felt my eyes roll back and after a moment of pitch black I find myself in a dark room. Allowing my eyes to adjust to the light or lack thereof I find myself in a dark cellular with an array of wines displayed in a rack lining one wall. On the other there looked to be a group of singular cells. Peering into the closest one I see a man hunched over in the corner. "Sir are you ok? What's happened? where are we?" I call out to him and he looks up and I almost fall over in shock. There sat in the corner was no random man but my dad. "Dad?! I was told you were dead!" "Blaze! It worked! Ok we don't have much time. I can't hold this bond for long so listen closely." I nod as he scoots closer to the bars of the cell. "We are in Dumbledore's manor. He's evil. Don't trust him. He kidnapped me and stuck me in here without my wand. He's trying to use you for your power and Harry for his fame. Your papa has escaped Azkaban and is innocent; he was set up by Peter pettigrew. Take your volt key and take as much of the money out of our gringotts vault as possible and then take Harry and find Sirius and tell him everything. He'll know what to do next... And tell him I love him please and that I wish I could be with you. Now go before it's too late"Remus told me. I nod " ok dad I will but you will be getting out of here I won't leave you you can tell papa yourself all that mushy stuff. I love you dad" I said with tears gathering in my eyes. " I love you to my little fireball stay safe cub" remus said giving me a watery smile before I was thrusted back into the pitch black once again.
I opened my eyes to see I was back in the Dursleys living room with a worried Harry hovering over me. "Blaze! Thank god you're ok. What happened?" Harry said pouncing on me and hugged me to the point it was hard to breathe. " Merlin's balls Harry. I'm fine it was dad sending a message through our link. He's not dead, he's been kidnapped..." I continued to explain everything I was told and we formed a plan on what to do next...
