Approaching Tonks, I grab Ginny's waist and beg her to be quiet. She frowns and continues with me to the corner of the stone walls. Pink hair becoming more visible, Ginny halts and starts to fall under my grasp. I hold her up and make her walk the short distance to our old friend. Tears can now be seen on Ginny's face as she completes the short distance quickly and hugs Tonks.
"Tonks" she gasps happily. "You are here."
And with that simple statement, I realize our pain and suffering would be relieved shortly.
Emerging from our hugs and tears, Tonks puts on a more serious face.
"I have been trying to find the whereabouts of you two forever! But before any real explanations can be made, I have something to tell you."
Ginny and I hold hands, apprehensively waiting.
"Harry is alive."
I knelt to the ground, waiting for the statement that I wanted to be true for so long, finally coming to my ears for enjoyment. I start to bawl with a new set of tears.
Ginny stood there open-mouthed, unable to believe it herself. She just simply stayed quiet.
"We found his magic trace last evening, around the area at the old burrow site. We believe he is trying to find the Order."
I look up for the first time. "We?" I croaked. "Who is we?"
Tonks smiled again, "The Order, Hermione…it still exists. Just has different members than would be expected. Most of the old members have been tossed into camps just like this one. But with the number of camps increasing everyday in size, I have only just reached this one. Do you two even know where you are?"
I shook my head, "I figure somewhere South on the globe…judging by extreme heat during the day."
Tonks sighs and reaches into her pocket, pulling out two vials of clear liquid. "Well ladies, we can't stay here all night and catch up, we need to get you out of here!"
She furthermore pulls out a plastic small bag containing hair of all sorts. I look at her. "Polyjuice?" I ask.
She nods. "However, it isn't human hair. You two need to be changed into animals." I grimace…remembering the last time I tried the polyjuice potion with cat hair.
