96. Seeing Sirius
**Fred's POV**
Georgie, Ron, Ginny, Harry, 'Mione, and I had just Flooded to Grimmauld Place to visit Sirius.
"Sirius?" Harry called out.
"People!" A voice sang with jolliness.
A man with black-hair just ran down the stairs.
"Sirius!" Harry said happily, hugging Sirius tightly.
I put my arm around 'Mione with a smile on my face.
"How have you been, Padfoot?" I asked.
"I feel like I can fly!" Padfoot said with a smile.
"You can," Ron said.
"Ya, but I don't have a broom on me right now" Sirius said.
"He's better," George said with a smirk.
"Hey! Who wants to go in the kitchen?" Sirius asked quickly.
"I do!" Ron shouted and he ran to the kitchen.
'Mione looked up at me and gave me a weird look.
"It's the food he loves. Wherever there's food, Ronniekins will be there" I smirked.
'Mione rolled her eyes and pulled me to the kitchen being followed by Sirius, George, Ginny, and Harry.
"He's already eating," George said at the sight of Ron stuffing his face.
"You started without me?!" Sirius exclaimed and grabbed some food himself.
"You two are really disgusting" Ginny smiled.
When Sirius looked at me and 'Mione, he asked "You're dating?"
"Ya" 'Mione smiled.
Sirius' eyes widened and said "Wow. You're like James and Lily!"
"How?" George asked.
"James is a prankster of course and Lily was a bookworm that was of course very smart" Sirius explained.
"That makes sense that Dad's a prankster since you were his best friend and best man at the wedding" Harry said.
"You are so right my brilliant godson" Sirius smiled and put a chicken leg in his mouth.
"Swallow,you two" 'Mione jokes.
After a while, it was time to visit the Joke Shop!
"I'll see you guys later," Ginny said.
"Where are you going?" George and Ron asked.
"I'm going to go home," Ginny said, not looking at them.
"Okay. We'll see you later" Harry said and Ginny left.
"We will see you soon, Sirius" 'Mione hugged him.
"Okay. Visit soon! Because I can NOT take being alone with Kreacher" Sirius said nervously and hugged Harry.
"Bye, Sirius," Harry said.
We stepped outside Grimmauld and I looked at George and he nodded.
"Okay" I said and got a blindfold out of my pocket.
"We're going to the shop now," George said, getting out two other blindfolds.
"What are the blindfolds for?" Harry asked.
"So the shop can be a surprise" I smiled putting the blindfold I had over Mione's eyes.
"Fred, I'm pretty sure we don't need these" 'Mione smiled.
"Ya, you do, 'Mione," I said and tightened the blindfold.
"Ready?" George asked as he just finished putting the blindfold over Ron.
"Yep" I responded and I Apparated me and 'Mione to the shop and George Apparated him, Harry, and Ron to the shop.
**Hermione's POV**
"Are the blindfolds necessary?" I asked, trying to find my way with a blindfold over my, Harry's, and Ron's eyes.
"Yes, 'Mione. They're extremely necessary" Fred responded leading me to the shop.
"How much further?" Ron whined.
"We're here" George said but I could tell he was smiling.
Fred opened a door and he led me to an area.
"'Mione, Harry, Ron. Welcome, to our shop" Fred said happily taking off my blindfold.
I opened my eyes and found color everywhere. I saw their products everywhere. And deep within the shop, I found happiness and fun.
"It's beautiful," I smiled.
"Whoa" Harry simply said.
"This place is- Wow" Ron said.
I walked around and Fred followed me.
"You like it?" He asked, taking one of his products in his hand.
"I love it. It's amazing" I said looking at a puppet saying "I really hate children. I will have order!"
I looked at the puppet and saw it resembled Umbridge.
"Dolores Umbridge toy. This one was made especially for her" Fred smiled.
"This place is awesome!" Harry sang as he walked over to us with George and Ron.
"I can't wait until it opens tomorrow," Ron smiled.
"Me too. Now, come on. We don't want you guys going around hiding stuff so you can buy it tomorrow" George said pushing Harry and Ron to the door.
"Malady" Fred offered his arm.
"Let's go" I took his arm and we left the shop.
