Snape and Dumbledore were still arguing and finally, they broke apart. Dumbledore started off towards Lupin and Tonks. Snape remained in place. He looked around the clearing, watching everyone talk. Minutes later, he walked away into the woods.

Becca cleared her throat, "Not much of a people person, huh?"

Kris turned to her. "Neither am I. You know I get shy around people I don't know."

Fred grinned. "But you don't know us and you had the guts to slap said professor in the face. Now for that I applaud you."

"Okay. Feeling guilty once more. I'm heading to the beach. I'll…I don't know…watch the eagles or something." She sighed. "I just want some peace and quiet. No more fights, no more arguments."

"Alright, we'll probably meet up with you in a bit." Becca said as Kris started to leave.

"Sure." She turned and walked off the way they had originally came. It took about fifteen minutes to near the beach. She turned the last corner and slammed into…a tree? She looked up. Nope, definitely not a tree. A man. A woman peeked out from behind him. "Sorry?" Kris said quickly, unsure about if her eyes were seeing right or not.

"James?" The woman asked. "Who is it?"

A man with unruly black hair and glasses squinted over to Kris. His sharp hazel eyes looked at her with shock. "'Kay, this is a bit weird." She started backing away into the forest and bumped into a tree.

""""""""

"So how exactly did you guys get here?" Becca pondered. She looked to the rest standing around the clearing.

Tonks was the first to speak. "It was interesting, after I died, there was this mist-filled tunnel. I sat down and a little voice in my head kept asking me if I wanted to go back. Even though little Teddy was going to be alone, I knew that I couldn't go back." She sighed and looked up to the sky, pausing. "Then I just moved on. Remus joined me later on and we traveled the rest of the way together."

"It was weird for me, I didn't see what'd happened to me after I died. All I remember is Percy saying he was going to quit the Ministry. The next thing I knew I was deciding what to do. After I went on, this clearing appeared and I walked to it." Fred sighed and put his head in his arms.

"What about you, Sirius?"

Sirius grinned. "Well, I assume you know about the Veil, so I'll just continue. I fell through it, heard Harry scream, heard Lupin tell him I was gone and then I landed flat on my back in this clearing. It took me awhile to get my breath back, but I knew that I had to be dead, or just very confused."

Becca laughed. "I can just picture you falling through the Veil and slamming onto your back!" The giggling was constant now. "You'd just be like AHHH! And then, BAM! You slam onto the ground." She giggled again.

Sirius let out a hearty laugh, "I guess it was a bit on the amusing side."

""""""""

Kris grabbed the tree behind her for support. "You can't be here."

James watched her in confusion. The woman walked up next to him and did the same. "What in bloody hell, is going on? Are you the one that brought us here?"

"Definitely not. I'm just a mere muggle. My friend Becca and I are on vacation. We're in northern Wisconsin, which is one of the Midwestern states in the USA. It's strange, we were just canoeing and we got on the island. You'll be surprised to see who else is here. Come on, I'll show you where the rest are."

She led Harry's parents to the clearing. Lily gave a gasp of surprise upon seeing her old friends. James gave a huge laugh and practically pounced on Sirius. Sirius, who'd just finished talking to Becca was completely overcome with shock. "Right mate, this is just weird." He said, his eyes wide in shock with a huge smile on his face.

"I can't even believe what's going on." Lily gasped as she hugged Lupin.

Becca just sat there with a bemused smile on her lips, with Kris who'd sat down beside her. "The true Marauders are reunited again." Dumbledore smiled.

"Is Harry alright? Why are we here and he isn't?" Lily asked expectantly.

Becca stood. "Harry's fine."

Lupin coughed and shook his head at Becca. She jerked her head back at him. James watched in concern. "What is it?"

"We're all dead, James. We all died. Harry beat Voldemort, but we didn't make it." Lupin looked over at Tonks and then realization hit him. "Oh! I can't believe I forgot! James, Lily, I would like you to meet Nymphadora Tonks. Make sure its just Tonks. She's my wife."

James lit up. "Wife! Congratulations my dear friend! And to you too, my dear. Remus is a lucky man."

Lily ran over to Tonks, enveloping her in her arms. "Oh, I'm so happy for you!"

"I have a son too." Lupin announced proudly.

James laughed. Well, you're just full of surprises, now aren't you?"

"What's his name?" Lily asked.

"Teddy, we named him after Tonks's father. He died trying to escape the Ministry." Lupin smiled weakly down at Tonks, who returned it.

"I don't mean to interrupt," Becca started, "But, has anyone seen Kris? Or Fred for that matter?"

""""""""

Kris shuffled slowly down the path. Something came at her from the brush, it was long and lank with small teeth and eyes that looked as though they were much too smart. She screamed and started to run, with a fisher right behind her.

Just then, someone leapt onto the path and rushed at the animal. The person smacked it on the head and turned to Kris, who'd stopped running to see who'd saved her. She was surprised to see Snape's face. "Don't expect me to do that again for you." He said. "Get back to the clearing so you can be watched by people who won't scream and run away. The professor than went back into the trees leaving her alone again.
