"Remus, it's yours." Healer McDonald explained slowly as Remus stared at the wand.

"I know- I just-" Remus said, pausing. "It doesn't feel right."

"What do you mean? How does it feel?" Harry asked, from his chair beside the bed. "Perhaps someone Disarmed you-"

"No, it feels- well, it feels like an ordinary stick to me." Remus explained, shifting against the pillows behind his back.

"Can you try a simple spell?" Healer McDonald asked.

"I- what?" Remus asked. "A simple spell?"

Healer McDonald reached into his pocket, pulling out a pocket watch. He placed it on the end of the bed. "Try to levitate that." Healer McDonald instructed.

Remus frowned, but nodded anyway. "Wingardium Leviosa."

Nothing happened.

"Alright, try Lumos." Healer McDonald suggested.

"Lumos." Remus said, but still nothing happened. The watch hadn't moved and his wand didn't give off any light. Either the wand had no magic- or Remus had no magic.

Agnes patted her on the shoulder. "I've been enjoying your company, dear." She said gently. "And I do enjoy the help you've been giving me this past week- but-"

Tonks looked at her, eyes wide. "Did I do something?" She asked immediately. "If I upset you, Agnes-"

Agnes laughed. "No, no. Come, I want to show you something."

She led Tonks through the sitting room towards the kitchen. "I don't willingly admit this usually, but I think it's something we have in common." Agnes explained, heading to a drawer beside the sink. She opened it, pulling out a thin stick with intricate carvings. "I'll be in a lot of trouble if you're a Muggle, but-"

"A Muggle?" Tonks asked.

"Non-magic, dear." Agnes explained patiently. "There's a newspaper that I have delivered here, and I read something interesting a few days ago- Accio!" She said, pointing her wand past Tonks' shoulder. A newspaper flew from the table to Agnes' waiting hand, and Tonks' eyes widened.

"You just-" Tonks began. "That-"

"Was magic." Agnes said, setting the newspaper on the counter. She opened it, flipping a couple of pages. She finally turned the paper to face Tonks. "There was a fight about a week ago- the day you arrived. I don't know why I didn't think of it before."

Tonks looked down at the page, covered in pictures of people who were missing. It was true, the woman looked a lot like her- but she had shorter and lighter hair.

"The hair is different." Agnes said, as if knowing what she was thinking. "I've written to the mother of this woman, she would know better than you or I."

Kingsley had been having a quiet morning so far. Things had slowly been calming down, and he had managed to actually sit at his new desk for more than five minutes without interruption. Until he heard some commotion outside of his door.

"I've been told no one's to interrupt Minister Shacklebolt unless it's extremely important-" Percy Weasley's voice was saying.

"Oh, Percy, let me see him!" Another, more agitated, voice was demanding. "He'll want to know this- and if you're keeping people away-"

Kingsley had made it to the office door and swung it open at this point. Andromeda and Percy were practically toe-to-toe, and Andromeda spotted him over Percy's shoulder. She shoved by Percy, who looked surprised by this.

"Oh, Kingsley!" Andromeda cried, brandishing a letter in her hand. She looked pale and thin- not that Kingsley blamed her, he supposed no one was looking very well right now. "Kingsley, she's alive!"

Kingsley felt startled. "Who?" He asked automatically and then realised. "Tonks? Tonks is alive?"

"Yes, Nymphadora's alive." Andromeda said, her face breaking into a grin. "Or- it may be her, but it sounds like her!"

"Where?" Kingsley asked. "Percy, tell everyone I've left to handle an emergency. Andromeda, let's cross a name off a list."

Andromeda and Kingsley rushed through the Ministry towards the atrium. Narrowly avoiding people who wanted to talk to the Minister, they Flooed to Andromeda's.

"Teddy's asleep upstairs." Andromeda explained. "Harry stayed the night, he told me to do what I had to. He's probably upstairs as well."

"Well, where are we going?" Kingsley asked urgently.

"Dufftown." Andromeda replied. "There's a witch named Agnes, she says she found Dora-"

"Dufftown is considerably farther than Hogsmeade." Kingsley commented. "Has she said anything about To- Dora's condition?"

"Nothing." Andromeda said. "But Kingsley, even if she's like Remus- she's alive."
