“Please, why can’t you stay with me? Who knows what will happen out there? I know I cannot go out there. Please...just stay here. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave our child.”
“You don’t understand, Dora. I have to. Harry needs my help. He can’t do this own his own. And I need to be there for him...”

Grabbing a hold of the wooden hand rail, she winced and slowly looked in front of her. The dark buildings and desolate atmosphere sparked familiarity.
Oh dear...Merlin...
Her two and half month stay in Purgatorium was like a dream to her since it had been nearly a year. Tonks slowly pushed herself up to stand as she gazed at the lower city. It looked exactly like it was. How could it still be this way?
Then her last memories of this place hit her and the tears came pouring down her cheeks. Claire...
She reached up to cover her mouth as her vision blurred. Adam...
