She is sitting halfway in and halfway out of the water. Her legs, bent at the knee, dangle over the rim. Tonks is sitting up, however. Her back is pressed into the column of the fountain. One hand, the one holding her wand, is resting in her lap. She still has it in a grip of death.

For the moment, she is still alive.

Roxas almost misses her as he sprints by, and he can't help the confused expression that quickly changes into open-mouthed gawking at the sight.

"W-what the...? Hey-!" That was definitely Nymphadora alright, but looking worse for wear compared to the last time he saw her. Running to her side, Roxas quickly conjures a Curaga circle before shaking her shoulder lightly.

"You awake? C'mon..." Attention split, Roxas keeps his surroundings in check as he tries to get some sort of response and lets the healing magic kick in. Retrieving unconscious teammates was not part of his usual missions, but that doesn't mean he wasn't prepared for a potential threat or a trap to appear.

[whether the others - allen, arthur, and roxas - are prepared or not, shirley is in her way. her magic comes easily, and whatever may be required to heal tonks is not the issue; nor is the possibility tonks may die by her fellow scorched's hands. the consequences, though (that bellatrix will think herself victorious, that dende will not say his goodbyes easily, that arthur will have new burdens - remus), those are things shirley is prepared for and isn't prepared for. even with her age, there is no way to truly be, but time cannot be wasted.

even so, she hadn't hurried in her travel from lilly's home to the clinic. had been slow and patient in her orders for the other staff. had entered a private patient room, quietly. now, it's a matter of waiting.]

[And look who's just SCAMPERING AT TOP SPEED down those hallways, slipping and sliding on the slick floor before he FINALLY comes BURSTING through the door where he sensed Shirley]

MS. TONKS I'M HERE!

[He stands there looking rather confused. He's in his "adventure gear" which pretty much means he's got a small turban-like wrap around his head and, oddly enough, a bag of tomatoes tied to his sash (hey she might REALLY like tomatoes, they're always good for adventure)]

Where's Ms. Tonks?

[...hi there, dende. for a moment, shirley only stares at him, lips pursed and eyebrows raised. really, with the way he had replied to her over the forge, she should have expected this. ...it's still surprising, though.]

She will be here soon.

[beyond the doorway, she can hear some staffers complaining about the disruption.]

[Dende pauses to look up at Shirley a bit deadpan and out of breath as he tries to register the "Tonks isn't here" bit... he still looks around the room anyway. She could just be hiding.]

...Is somebody helping her?! If she's hurt we should be going to her!

[Translation: Oh please don't make me wait.]
