A/N: DH spoilers, obviously. And I imagine this as taking place before they had kids, or even thought of having kids.
Ginny was sleeping when he left. He kissed her forehead, placed the note on his abandoned pillow. He wanted to say goodbye, but he couldn't stand that look she always gave when she was left behind.
He slipped into the Ministry, unnoticed and silent, careful footsteps led him by memory and instinct to the dais.

A/N: I imagine that when you're dead, time is merely a humanly constraint. This all happens between the time Harry turns the stone over and they all appear. There has to be a moment, right? When they are back together and all is right and tonks is dead and gone damn it.
Remus awoke to Sirius crouching next to him. They were in the woods, inexplicably, and Sirius was translucent.
“Huh,” Remus said, “I've gone completely round the bend, haven't I?”
“No, you've merely died.” Sirius was grinning as he helped Remus up and grabbed him. Something was building in his chest, tight and overwhelming, and he clung to Sirius.
“Why-?”
“We've got to help Harry. He's dying.”
“Oh,” Remus said. He found it hard to be concerned when Sirius was so close. “I missed you.”
Sirius pulled him tighter. “I never left you, Moony. I was waiting right here for you.”
