"GET BACK HERE, COUSIN! FACE ME! FACE ME NOW, WOMAN! I NEED YOU TO LOOK AT ME, NOW!"

"Hahaha, poor widdle Tonksy don't wanna' give up? My poor widdle niece sadly fell to the wrong side... The impure side… The side that deserves no little than DEATH! And that is what you shall receive, my dear niece!" Bellatrix laughed, crudely.

"Get… BACK… HERE! Don't you run from me! STOP! STOP!"

"Running, who's running? I'm just trying to get in a good position… to make you suffer. CRUCIO!" Tonks ducked, the spell flew past her head, by just inches.

"STUPEFY!" Tonks screamed, retaliating back. It hit Bellatrix right in the chest. One of the death eaters says the counter-curse.

"Ooooh, think you can defeat me, aye? Think I can't get even? YOU DARE THINK I WILL ACCEPT BEING DEFEATED BY A GOOD FOR NOTHING BLOOD TRAITOR!" Bellatrix started to run away.

"GET BACK HERE COWARD!" Tonks shouted, bravely.

Tonks ran after Bellatrix, just in time to see what she what she was about to do.

"Come on, you can do better than that! You've not advanced your dueling skills much, cousin. I would have expected better from you!" Sirius Black yelled, then smirked, and stumbled back a little. Sirius always tried to make the best of things. He was now dueling Bellatrix. Bellatrix returned the smirk, but her's was not light-hearted, young, and happy, as was Sirius's was. Her's was cold, frightening, intimidating.

"Stupefy!"

Sirius tumbled backward, straight into the veil, behind the curtains. Tonks ran behind the curtain, to see if he was alright, thinking he just fell through a wall, or whatever the mysterious thing was. But Sirius was not there, she looked up to see another pair of eyes, meet hers. Harry was looking at her, questionly, then began to tear.

"SIRIUS! SIRIUS! SIRIUS? WHERE ARE YOU, COME OUT. Please… Please.. Sirius…" Harry pleaded.

"Sirius…" Tonks whispered, as if to think whispering would have made a difference. Remus Lupin came over and grabbed Harry, right before he was about to jump into the archway.

"NOOOO! SIRIUS! NO! We've just got to pull him out… dive in…He's right there… right with-in the curtains… You saw it.. He just fell.." But even hearing himself say it, it sounded untrue, for whatever reason.

"Harry, HARRY! HE'S GONE! NO-DON'T-JUMP!" Remus scolded him.

"HE'S.. NOT.. DEAD! All he did was fall through the arch. We can still get him…" Harry by this point was very doubtful.

"No… No…" Tonks was saying, also tearing up, as Harry had been doing.

"NOOOOOO!" Tonks screamed in a high-pitched, whined, ear-piercing scream.

Then she knew what she must do.

Or at least try.
