We aren't usually open on Sunday evenings but tonight there was a regular wanting to hold a little party for his anniversary with his ladyfriend. Mr Prentiss and Miss Hibbings.
Some Enforcer bloke turned up and wormed his way into the party. This sort of party, about half the people there won't necessarily know the other half, so people didn't realise right away he didn't belong, but Ellie worked it out and let Sirius know. A little after that, he ducked out, and Sirius followed him. Caught him sending a message to MLE -- couldn't keep him from sending part of it off, but stupefied him and took some of his hair and then came back in barking his fool head off to raise the alarm.
Ellie told everyone to run for it and sent up the Dark Mark. We'd -- I mean, she'd never have seen it cast, back in the day, but she'd heard people talk about it a few times, she knew it would scare people off.
But even as people were trying to leave, a LOAD of Aurors showed up. Tonks took the floo, and then we blew it up to make sure no one could trace anything from it -- and then Sirius saw Bellatrix. And she saw him.
If it weren't for Ellie he'd be dead.
He got Bella with something -- don't know what, it wasn't Avada Kedavra, but it took her down for a minute or two. By then, MLE had got their anti-apparation ward in place and I thought we were done for, but Sirius had that Enforcer's hair, so he dropped it in some polyjuice we'd kept for emergencies and then he turned into Jennings and came out with me as his prisoner and we just walked right out. He told everyone we passed it was on Auror Crouch's instructions and they got right out of the way. We made it out of the wards and I side-alonged us both to Bedford, and here we are.
