In the graveyard... 12th May 1998

A young man breathed heavily, as he just woke up to find that he was inside the box as he assumed. He tried to open the lid or whatever it took to kick lid off so he could be free. He failed, and he tried it for too many times that he lost count. He sighed in frustration, and soon, he started to realise he would suffocate. He yelled and kicks the lid, but he was stupid to do that as he would lose oxygen so quickly. Tears start to form in his eyes. He must admit that he is so scared, and it is the first time he ever thinks that way as he is never scared until he feels something down there, a long sticky inside his trousers pocket, he gasped quietly.

"Confringo!" He said wave his wand, blast the lid off, then he heard screams along with it, but the scream isn't belong to him. As he started to crawl out, he grunted as he was trying to get onto the ground from the hole he was in, and then he heard gasped beside him.

"Fred?" He looked up to see a couple, covered in little dirt like himself, he frowned.

"Remus? Tonks?" Fred said.

Remus quickly helps Fred get up from the floor, "You died?" Tonks still shocked to find Fred Weasley, who came back alive, she wasn't the only one who came back, her husband too.

"What?" Fred taken back.

Remus sighed, nodding toward the gravestone as Fred turned around to find his gravestone. He almost lost hus balance, but Remus held him steady.

"What the godric has happened?!" Fred asked, looked at Remus and Tonks.

"We want the answers too." Tonks sighed.

"Wait... you guys died?" Fred asked.

"Yes, according to our gravestone, which is next to yours." Remus said, Fred looked over his right side to find gravestone with Remus and Tonks on it together.

"It was happened at the war, wasn't it? We all died on the same day." Fred said.

Remus nodded, "Yes it seems so."

"We really should go to..." Tonks paused, not sure where to go.

"All I can think of is the Burrow, but I don't want to freak them all." Fred said.

"I know, son." Remus put his hand on Fred's shoulder, "I think we should go to the Ministry of Magic." He said.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? They would throw spells at us." Fred said.

"I just want to go home." Tonks cried, "I need to see my son." She sobbed.

Remus pulled his wife in a hug, "We will, very soon." He assured her.

The Ministry of Magic...

The three entered into the Ministry of Magic, and Remus told the others to follow him as he led them to the front desk. The woman looked up, taken back but quickly act together, cleared her throat, "Welcome back, Remus Lupin. We would be expecting you, and of course your wife... also Fred Weasley." She spoke, Remus seem surprised.

"You're not freaked?" Remus asked.

The woman chuckled, "No, after we've heard the prophecy recently, but we will still have to give you veritaserum potions just to be safe as not many the death eaters on loose." She told them.

"Prophecy?" Remus asked.

The woman nodded, "I will let Kingsley Shacklebolt fill you in. If you please just wait a moment while I'll go fetch him." Remus nodded as he watched the woman walking away hurriedly.
