*~ Chapter 2 ~*
"So what did he tell you exactly?" Tonks was now in the kitchen, after being ushered in by Mr. Dursley. He was being awfully nice to her,... too nice for someone just talking to a stranger.
`Sad, I was actually starting to like Mr. Dursley. Then again, it might affect him that I look almost identical to this muggle woman named Mary Moro? Or was it Maril Roe? Oh yeah! It was Marilyn Monroe!'
"He just went off on Petunia one day, when she asked him if he would like his eggs scrambled or sunny side up. He said something like `STOP BLAMING ME FOR THE DEATH OF CEDRIC! CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?! I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HIM!!' And then he ran up to his room."
"Well, now that we know the source of the problem, has he had any other outbursts?
"I'm sorry to interupt, but what are your names? I must not have caught them."
"I'm Kingsley Shacklebolt, and her name is Nymphadora Tonks..."
"Call me Nymphadora, and I swear I'll kill you. Just call me Tonks, okay?"
"Okay."
"So, continue where you left off please..."
Upstairs:
Opening the door just a crack, "Harry? Are you in here?" The voice of Remus Lupin echoed off the walls, as if no one living ever used this room.
"Move it Moony! I wanna see my godson first!" He pushed the door wide open,
"Siris, calm..."
The sight of the room was catastrophic. There was clothes everywhere, paper and books on the floor. But that wasn't what surprised them the most. The thing that did was,
"HARRY!!!" they both said together.
I think what scared them most about this room was not the 14, almost 15, year old that lied sprawled out on the bed, four neatly written letters next to him, but the fact that he was very pale, bleeding very badly from the wrists, and laying in a puddle of his own blood.
"Remus, Remus, help me please!!" Sirius was freaking out. He and Remus both had never encounter seeing someone commit suicide, but they had both tried, so they knew the emotions behind this.
"Sirius, let me check for a pulse" Remus, normally the calm one, was close to hyperventilating. He had never wanted to be faced with something like this. Putting two fingers on the side of Harrys neck, he checked for a pulse and thank god...
"Sirius!! I found one! He's still alive!!!"
"Remus, run and tell Tonks, Kingsley, and Moody to go to Arabella's house and ask to use the fire place. I don't want them to see Harry like this. He wouldn't want it."
"Okay, but don't move anything while I'm gone."
"GO!"
Running down stairs, the already very pale frightened looking Remus ran to the kitchen, to find Tonks, Kingsley, and Mr. Dursley sitting at the kitchen table, having tea.
"Tonks, Kingsley, could you please go outside, get Moody, and go to Arabella's? Ask her if we can use her fireplace. Then, go back to headquarters, as we will be there shortly."
"Remus, what about you, Sirius and.."
"Tonks, right now, don't ask too many questions. Please just go and do as I asked you to. All will be explained shortly."
Hesitantly Tonks replied, "Okay Remus, what ever you say.."
"Go now please."
`Remus sure is acting oddly...' Thought Tonks, on her way out the door.
"C'mon Mad Eye. We gotta go back to Headquarters via Arabella's fireplace." Just as Moody was opening his mouth to ask why, Kingsley gave him a short "Don't ask, we don't know." And they were on their way down the street.
Inside the house, Remus waited until he heard the door close and gave Mr. Dursley strict instructions not to open the door for anything until they left.
"But why..."
"Just do it."
And with that, Remus headed upstairs.
"REMUS, HURRY UP!" Halfway up the stairs when he heard that, he broke into a run, going and joining Sirius once again, to the gruesome sight, that was now, Harry Potter.
