How to be Dead
"Tonks? Tonks? Tonks! Oh Merlin!" Charlie rushed to the floor where there was a girl's bloody body. It lay still, motionless, and gashes were everywhere over her body.
Despite the bruised and battered face, he knew immediately who it belonged to.
His beloved Tonks. The wittiest, smartest, funniest girl in all of Hogwarts.
"Tonks!" He looked around the empty corridor, hoping to find somebody – anyone – to help him. How had this happened? Who had done it? How could it be?
"Help! Somebody help me!" He cradled the dead girl's body in his arms, sobbing. "Tonks… Tonks! Help me! Anybody!"
Nobody came. Nobody heard. He was alone, just like she had been when she had… she had…." He broke into more sobs.
Then suddenly, against his chest, a fit of giggles broke out. Charlie pulled away. Tonks was smiling up at him.
"And that," she said, sitting up, "is how you pretend to be dead."
Charlie pushed her away. "Not funny," he said.
Tonks grinned. "At least I know you'd cry over me if I really did die." She stood up and her body once again transformed to normal, walked down the empty corridor.
