He seen her lay still on the cold ground in the Great Hall next to her husbands. Isaac felt like his heart stopped, his body grew cold and tears immediately streamed down his face. Isaac grew weak; his knees trembling. Before he fell, he ran towards his best friend completely flooded by memories as he practically begged her to wake up. He also attempts to wake up Remus until he noticed something; their hands, cold on the hard floor were almost touching. Isaac moved in between them; tears flowing down his face; he grabbed Tonks’ hand on his left and then Remus’ hand on his right. The man who helped him save Chiara’s life…and his best friend, who always told him to smile even through rough times. This was too rough to bare.
“…Tonks…” He didn’t hold back. He screamed at the top of his lungs as he cried even harder. It was Cedrick all over again…It was Rowan all over again.
Meanwhile out the hall behind Isaac was Penny, Tulip, Barnaby, Ismelda, Ben, Andre, Liz, Bea, Chiara, Talbott, Skye, and Merula witnessed Isaac by Tonks’ and Remus’ bodies as his sobbing was loud enough for them to hear. Instant tears flowed down Penny’s face, Tulip practically screamed jolting towards the right side of Tonks, the others gathered then Jacob went to grab Isaac away from the bodies.
Isaac got furious. He placed Tonks’ and Remus’ hands together knowing how strong their love was. Then he got up to walk out the front of the castle. Jacob stopped him in his tracks; Isaac soon struggles with Jacob trying to get him to let him go. With all his might Jacob holds Isaac at where he stands; his rage was so loud it got the attention of Bill and Charlie Weasley who were over by Fred Weasley’s body. Along with Fleur; they all went over to Isaac’s direction. Charlie walked over to comfort Penny who was on her knees; sitting down with her, holding her close.
Bill and Jacob managed to sit Isaac down near a bench. No words were spoken, yet Isaac knew they were stopping him from being reckless. The brother he has and the brother he never had; all they could do is help him release the pain. Ismelda cried as Barnaby held her close, Chiara went by Remus on the ground; her cries were silent, It was all to familiar to Ben as angry tears filled his eyes, Andre comforted Tulip, Talbott and Skye were saddened but silent, Liz was also silent with quiet tears, Merula was furious. So furious that she sped-walked towards the hallway from where she came. Liz noticed her leave, hesitated, then soon followed her.
Merula, stubborn as she is, tried to fight back the pain, the anger, the sorrow. But along with facing her own parent during this war and seeing the school she once loved in shambles. She stopped in the middle of the hallway, her legs suddenly grew weak, she leaned on the wall next to her, and as tough as she wanted to be…she couldn’t. She was hurt, as tears filled her eyes she soon sobbed; she knew if it wasn’t for Tonks she wouldn’t of even known about the Potronus charm or tried years to perfect it. She respected Tonks and was glad she taught her that spell. The crying got louder; without knowing Liz watched in the distance never seeing Merula is so much pain. She would have walked to her but felt that it wouldn’t be right. So Liz cried more…seeing her fellow Slytherin in shambles.
“She’s gone…” Isaac spoke softly as Jacob and Bill still held him close. “They’re gone…” Also thinking about Fred and Remus in the process.
“I know…I know…” Bill quietly spoke.
“We’re here; Isaac. We’re here.” Jacob, being the brother he is, held his brother close. Knowing that if he didn’t he would put himself in danger. Surround by all his friends mourning the loss of the conscious of the group; Isaac knew life would never be the same.
Professor Sprout: Isaac, you are a remarkable student and very noble. Stubborn, but noble. The last thing I want to see is you in a situation that even the headmaster can’t even mend together again.
(Isaac nods and walks to his seat)
Isaac: AHHH!! You scared me, Tonks.
Tonks: I was right here the entire time. Did you even notice? 😒
Isaac: I didn’t. But not on purpose.
Tonks: You WERE talking to yourself right?
Isaac: …what would I do without you, Tonks?
Tonks: Oh please, you’re hopeless without me in your life Isaac! Just imagine other weirdos here thinking you’re weird. It would makes you the true Cursed Kid.
Isaac: Remember when I told you about the Maurader’s Map? Well apparently the map was in the hands of Filch which ended up in the hands of Peeves which eventually led into the hands of Mundungas Fletcher…for some peculiar reason. Now the map was stolen from him too but we don’t know who took it from him. So to get answers, I need these seeds along with other items.
Tonks: That sounds unessesarily complicated. All this trouble for a peice of paper.
Isaac: Yeah it seems tidious but we have to find a way to get Beatrice our from inside the picture. Dumbledore and the others found a way to get her food and drinks but are still unable to get her out yet.
Tonks: Speaking of; with all that going on Penny at least is doing a bit better. Had a few sleepless nights and has been very sad. So I make as many faces as I want to cheer her up.
Isaac: You always find a way to make people smile through hard times, Tonks.
Tonks: I’m the best at what I do.
Isaac: Have you been reading my X-Men comics again?
Tonks: …no?
Isaac: Liar.
Tonks: Maybe.
Isaac: Tonks it could be dangerous. I don’t want you to get hurt…
Tonks: Hey! Remember what I told Dumbledore: Together we can do anything! Besides you know you aren’t alone in this. So come on let me help! I’m inching for an adventure.
Isaac: Alright Fine, but for us to make it through tonight we have to be discrete, sneaky and stealthy.
Chiara: Not good. I’ve heard of petrification due to a monster hidden in something called ‘The Chamber of Secrets’. But never in this caliber where the person is turned to straight stone.
Isaac: Let me know if you find out something. I’m remotely curious about it as well.
Rowan: Come join me soon, Isaac.
Isaac: Let me catch up with Charlie and I’ll be over.
