I've had this idea for quite a while. It's kind of lame, but why not?
She stumbled through the corridor, searching for Remus. She found him, sprawled across the floor, pale and still.
"Remus, no- please no-" Tonks sobbed, falling to her knees beside him. Her heart broke when she realised he wasn't breathing, and he was cold- too cold. "Remus, please, wake up."
There was a laugh behind her, but at this point, what did she care? Remus was dead, what could she do? She could feel the green light coming for her, and too late, one word entered her mind: Teddy.
The light struck her, but it definitely didn't feel instantaneous. It burned. Her entire body burned, she felt as if something was being ripped from her chest. But she couldn't scream.
Her body had fallen across Remus', but she could feel herself dying. She could feel the pain. The world became black but the pain didn't vanish. If anything, it was becoming worse, building and building like someone was using the Cruciatus on her.
It was as if years passed, this pain clutching at her body. It was if an eternity passed by, but maybe it had only been hours. Minutes, perhaps.
The pain stopped abruptly, with a voice filling her head, speaking one simple sentence over and over: Kill Harry Potter.
May 2, 2009
"-and Lily needs- Harry, are you listening?" Ginny asked, looking at him intently.
Harry yawned and nodded. "Sure."
Ginny raised an eyebrow at him.
"I'm sorry, Gin." Harry said. "It's just- the kids are exhausting, and now with Teddy with us as well- I'm just tired."
"It's understandable." Ginny said, nodding. "But at least you get to get away from them at work."
Harry smirked. "Would you like to be Head Auror, Mrs Potter?"
Ginny smiled. "Well, I would, but the current Head Auror is a very handsome man and I wouldn't want to take his job away."
"Speaking of handsome Head Aurors, I'll have to leave now if I don't want to be late." Harry said, standing up and picking up his plate and coffee mug. He deposited them in the sink and turned to give Ginny a kiss. "See you this evening?"
"Of course." Ginny said. "But don't be late. You promised Teddy that you two were going to a Quidditch game. To celebrate his-"
"His Hogwarts letter, yes, I'll remember. I'm not letting him down today." Harry said, as he stepped into the fireplace of Grimmauld Place. He nodded to Ginny and disappeared, landing neatly in his office.
He was barely there for more than a few minutes when Hermione Granger(Now Hermione Weasley), the Head of Magical Law Enforcement, burst in. "Oh, Harry, finally!" She cried. "I've been waiting, something's happened, Harry-"
"What's going on?" Harry asked. "What are you doing here? You should be at home, with Fabian-"
"Harry, the graves at Hogwarts- they were damaged early this morning." Hermione said. "Filch discovered it shortly after dawn when he spotted someone who looked, in his words, 'remarkably and suspiciously like Remus Lupin' heading towards the front gates of Hogwarts. He checked the graves, to see if perhaps it was a relative of someone and-"
"What happened to the graves?" Harry asked, frowning.
Hermione let out a breath. "Some of them are empty."
"How many?" Harry asked.
"Four at Hogwarts."
Harry frowned. "At Hogwarts?" He repeated. "Does that mean that other graves were damaged as well, elsewhere?"
"Your parents' graves are empty as well. That report came in shortly after the Hogwarts one. Some Muggle woman was visiting a loved one and noticed that the graves had been dug up. She called the Muggle Police, and it was brought to us."
Harry sank into his desk chair. "Who would do this? Have you searched Hogsmeade? Looked for this man Filch described?"
"That's just it, Harry." Hermione said. "We did, and we found him."
"And?" Harry prompted.
"He's in a holding cell downstairs. Harry, I think it is Remus."
"It can't be."
"Come see for yourself. He has the scars, he has Remus' voice- he looks like Remus. He's even wearing the robes Remus was buried in, but his eyes, Harry-"
"It could be someone using Polyjuice Potion." Harry said, but his mind was wandering. What if it was Remus?
"Polyjuice won't work if the person you've taken from is dead. That man, if he is taking Polyjuice, should look like an eleven year old corpse." Hermione said quickly and then froze, looking almost sick at the mention of corpses. "Harry, come with me, you'll see. And you can question him. But I believe it's him."
"What other graves were disturbed?" Harry asked, after a moment of silence.
"Ron's, for one. Colin and Tonks, as well."
"And no one's spotted them?" Harry asked.
Hermione shook her head. "No reports yet, anyway."
Harry stood slowly. "Then we go, together, to question Remus. If it's him, and if he remembers anything, maybe we can figure out what happened."
Hermione nodded and they stepped out of the office, heading for the lifts.
"Auror Potter!" A voice demanded. Harry and Hermione turned to see Dawlish heading for them, a roll of parchment in his hand. He looked pale, shaken even. "Another one has been spotted."
"Who?" Hermione asked.
"Auror Tonks, she was found near the Leaky Cauldron. Auror Savage and I- we got there as soon as we heard."
"Did you see her?" Harry asked immediately.
Dawlish nodded. "She wasn't like herself. We tried to talk to her, she seemed to hear us, but there was something strange about her-"
"Other than the fact she's suddenly alive?"
"She was dressed like she was when she was buried. But she looks dead, Potter. No colour to her eyes,-"
"They're just white, right?" Hermione asked. Dawlish nodded. "Like Remus'. Where is she?"
"She walked away from us, and we were pursuing her, but she managed to lose us."
"Remus wasn't walking very fast, how did Tonks get away?" Hermione asked. "They've been dead eleven years, speed and stealth won't be easy for them-"
"She turned down an alley, and when we turned as well, she was gone. We searched the alley but she was nowhere." Dawlish explained. "But she'll be spotted again, they're not exactly hiding from us."
"Right." Harry said. "Dawlish, get a group of Aurors out there. Patrol London, patrol Godric's Hollow and Hogsmeade. If you find any of them, bring them in. Stun them, I don't care. We need to know what happened, and why they've returned."
