Chapter Six
"I wasn't here to protect them. This my fault, they're gone. I was out with friends. They were alone and unprotected. This is my fault." Ava confessed.
"Don't you ever say that again" Sirius practically growled at Ava. "This was never and it will never be your fault. This is those damn sick minded, twisted pure blooded-"
"That's enough Padfoot" James cut Sirius off before his insults could get any worse. "Go take a walk, you need to calm down." James told Sirius because through out his small, and cut short, rant it was clear to see that he was just working himself up and his anger only seems to be growing. The long, dark haired Marauder looked as if he was about to challenge James. But James just raised a single eyebrow at him almost daring him to try something seeing this Sirius dropped the challengingly look he had about him and left the room clenching and unclenching his fists.
Sirius' outburst had surprised Ava so much in fact that it had pulled her out of her self-destructive mind frame. She was now in the process of making up a plan. This plan was not at all thought out nor was it fool proof. It involved her packing a bag and setting out on foot in search of her family and inflicting as much pain as possible on those who had taken her loved ones away from her. In fact Ava had realised that her vague plan was stupid and quite possibly suicidal but it was the only thing she could think about right now. In her mind she was the one to blame for all of this so, she was the only one who could fix it. The only thing that mattered now was finding her family. She really didn't care for what could happen to her. Any sane person could make a list of all the flaws in her plan but she decided to over look them all. However before she could put her plan into action Lily distracted her.
"Ava I don't know what you're thinking about but I don't like that look on your face. Stop to think for a minute before you do something completely stupid and reckless."
"Lily I have to find them and get them back. I have to make sure they're safe. I don't believe they're dead. God knows what I'll do to those Death Eaters if they've so much as laid a wand on any of them." Ava spat back at Lily
"Shut up Ava. You're talking absolute nonsense. Its stupid! You cannot go running off and attacking any old person." Lily began. "I'm not saying we're not going to do anything about this but we have to be careful. We need a plan. We have to inform the authorities too!" The red head argued back.
"Screw planning! Lily this is my family. Would you sit around and wait for some corrupt group of Aurors to do something?" Ava demanded.
"Hey! Not every Auror is corrupt! My father is a damn good man." James exclaimed.
"Oh shut up James. She never meant to single anyone out, she meant the Ministry in general. They haven't exactly done much with all the disappearances lately, have they?" Lily pointed out.
"They're under staffed as it is. They're trying their best." explained James.
"Well their best isn't enough James! I'm going to find them. Whether you agree with what I'm doing Lily or not and whether you'll help me. I will get them back." Ava vowed.
