"One shivering second of silence, the shock of the moment suspended; and then the tumult broke around Harry...
"
"What the hell just happened?"
Mrs. Weaslely screamed and fell to the floor.
Harry's head snapped to where fred had been laying, dead but a moment ago.
"FRED! Your alive!" Percy and George bombarded him, all three hitting the floor in laughter and tears.
"Course I'm alive," Fred chuckled, "I've just got a bloody headache."
"I know what you mean..."
Harry rushed to Tonks side as she sat up, rubbing the top of her head lightly.
He touched her face, causing her to jump. It wasn't like the resurrection stone.
She was breathing, solid... alive.
"What hit me? Cruciatus?"
"Tonks... it was the killing curse."
She laughed at first, looking at everyone around her. The looks on their faces made her stop.
"How...?"
Mr. Weasely spoke up, "Bellatrix... You were dead."
"And Fred was hit with a wall," Ron , still holding his, head waved at her.
She looked back and forth from all the faces around her.
"What about Remus?"
They looked to Remus lying beside them.
"He was hit, too."
"But if I've come back..."
She crawled by Harry to Lupin's side, leaning over him.
"Remmy? Remus?"
He did not stir. She brushed his cheek with her hand.
"He's not... How....?"
Harry remembered the walk in the forest, what Remus had told him. He leaned over, laying a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry.... so sorry.... He... he told me that he was trying to make a better world,
for Ted...."
She nodded, not looking at him, but tears still visible on her cheeks.
She began humming something, something Harry didn't know.
He wanted to look away from this person scene, but he found he couldn't. A lump was rising in his throat.
Tonks lowered her head, kissing Lupin lightly.
She squealed as Lupin's hand came up to her neck.
Harry stared at the laughing couple, then up to Ron.
How many times had Dumbleldor explained, no spell on earth could bring back to dead.
