Fallen Angel
I don't own Harry Potter. If I did Tonks wouldn't have died and would have ended up with Harry.
I don't normally think about suicide, but this idea wouldn't leave me alone after I read Lakeside which involved Harry and Tonks. And this is my first fic so be nice please. Any criticism is welcome.
Warnings: Contains character death and suicide, so if you don't like that don't read it.
Shadow Raven presents:
Fallen Angel
The end has come and gone,
But another has yet to fall;
Without the Nymph,
The Angel will fall;
To return to each other,
They shall meet their end.
Harry stared sorrowfully at the stairs above him from his crouched position on the astronomy tower roof. Rain soaked him to the bone but this went unnoticed by him. Sounds of the parties going on in various rooms in the castle below him wafted up to him, but these too went unnoticed by him.
Today was the day that his promise ended. Today was the day that he would finally see his love again.
Start Flashback
The war was over. Voldemort was finally dead. The side of the light has finally triumphed over that of the dark. But at a horrible cost was this achieved. Around him people were sullenly looking at the bodies of those who had fallen honorably in the field of battle in order to identify those who were lost. But Harry was oblivious to all of this as he clutched the body of his fiancé to him as tears splashed down onto her face.
"Don't leave me Nym, I can't live without you" Harry chocked out.
"I have to love. My time is up. You can live without me"
"No..I..I can't"
"Yes you… can love. Please don't follow me into death this soon"
"You, know I can't live without you Nym. You are my heart and soul"
"As are you my love… But it is not your time yet… please try to live without me" Tonks said between coughs of blood.
"I can't…"
"Yes you can. Promise me Harry, promise me you will try"
"Nym…"
"Harry, promise me" she said with an air of determination.
"I promise"
"I love you Nym"
"I love you to Harry"
With that Tonks took her last breath just as the sun rose above the horizon. It was over 3 hours later before someone was able pull Harry away from her body.
End Flashback
For a year Harry tried to go on without her. But he just collapsed in upon himself, becoming just a ghostly shell of his former self. Nothing anyone said could bring him back.
"Tempus"
In front of him the ghostly time that hung in the now misty air told him that it was 6:29. It was time. Harry leaned backwards over the edge of roof just as the sun was beginning to crest of the Forbidden Forest behind him as he began his descent and return to Tonks. A soft wind caressed his back as he fell and yet he felt entirely at peace for what was about to happen. He knew that Nym was telling him that it was alright.
"I'm coming Tonks"
At if one were to look at the time as Harry died they would have seen that it was 6:30 in the morning. Exactly one year to the minute that Tonks died.
The ground underneath his broken body was originally nothing special, but as the last breath escaped him it began to change. From about his shoulder blades gigantic black feathery wings were burned into ground. Extending well over 12 feet on either side of him, it was a majestic sight; and if one were to look at it from above it would appear as though there laid an angel.
A Fallen Angel.
A/n: I got the wing idea from the show Supernatural. When an angel was killed black wings were burned into the ground were the body lay. If I knew where a picture of one was of it I'd post a link, but I have been unable to find any.
