A funeral, a bubble
The sea of people dressed in black in cemetery they were getting cranky. It was a constant murmur of coats, flashes of cameras and gossip, in tears ... when it should be a moment of silence and respect. They were buried the body of his brother! The hands of his brother, who had beaten him in games from small s mouthor brother, who had curled to laugh countless times ... were buried life of his brother, and that should be respected. Media
Britain had gathered that cold but very bright morning of May 4, 1997. The Ministry of Magic had been the greatest honor of all the dead heroes of the Battle of Hogwarts and that meant, at least from the point of view of Charlie, the pain of his family and several others was becoming a media circus.
No, he did not think journalists from all over Europe were ah & iacuI, among the mourners, with feathers or cameras in their hands. Their pain should not be described to curious people, and nothing had to matter to them, read or see.
The pain of her mother, that pale, silent, soulless vacíoy pain should not be photographed ... Without wanting to, as if his mind were brought to the work of making that time even ma ; s unbearable reminded Charlie George in St. Mungo's bed, spare enough to go but totally unwilling to do so in a negative without life, without energy, as dull but no less blunt. And he remembered how he hab &; Iacute; to left facing what would have been his brother's ear, to remember a thousand times in a row in the head that he was not Fred ...Charlie
not take it anymore . It matters little that had not finished burying the coffins and that certain white flashes told him that, at least, a camera had focused, he drove away , saying "Sorry" , but with little regard for the people who drove, looking for a place with fresh air.
had to walk severals feet, to reach a place where people were more widely spaced. Yet, acknowledging that the cemetery was so big (did not want to leave him), he walked, looking for solitude.After going downhill, going into what seemed the most ancient and neglected cemetery, felt like jelly fríoy go through something that made him take a chill . Just after taking this step, black-haired woman with a small baby seemed to materialize at one meter from him, like the sound of babbling and the girl childasking questions, voice high and girlish.
Charlie, right after processing the scene, felt for a moment that was not Fred's funeral. It was as if the bench where she sat, not the bench in a cemetery but a park, those in which children used to go to Muggle parents and dogs.
She had never seen in print but, recognizing just returned his eyes reddened with your baby. Charlie's when he realized that, inadvertently, had done anything wrong and felt the need to apologize:
I grabbed the front, and sitting in her lap. Little was busy sucking her own hand to realize, as Charlie did, that his mother was barely holding the tears.The redhead did not know how to act. Few things are more awkward to make a woman feel bad, not knowing that what you had done. He preferred to play it safe: Nym
"Sorry, I ...He heard the woman gave a snort as he climbed back in sight, although he was smiling eyes watery.
"Long ago have not heard that nickname. For a moment, Charlie realized how bizarre the situation they were. It was true that at times they had been Hogwarts Herbology together and some other times, they had agreed on the working groups, taking very good, but not be close friends. So Charlie knew she was Nymphadora Tonks, and Nym, as I said at the time. However, after the fifth year, took no longer a subject together and had become of those people who are aware of each other's existence, but nothing more. strange thing was that he was aware that, for some reason, the presence of another she made much more bearable now. So it seemed that whatever they were, two acquaintances who had not seen in years, and could start reminiscing. But that was only for a moment. So when Charlie was going to say that when he learned that all said Tonks, was surprised, she tucked her baby and started to his feet.
"You are going ... & amp; mdash; said simply.
Charlie looked back and realized it was true. As a very minor oil spill, people began to scattered towards the exit. And whatever it was that had made him feel like any other day, was gone.
Tonks broke the spell
bullae with a wand movement pequeñoy efficient, whereas with the other arm, was taking her baby.walked in silence, but always close. Charlie realized that she was using, surreptitiously, his body to hide them as well ofphotographers. Upon reaching the sidewalk and seeing that their families were on opposite sides of the street, looked at each other and only said
"Sorry for your loss. -And for the first time, there seemed a hypocritical formality, having come from another who had been there and had lost one of their loved ones in battle.
And in a box inside the first, with a wrapping paper with pictures of steaming pots ...
