Black-and-white - life is beautiful (Translation)

13. Aunt and nephew

"Aunt Lily, the cats are here!"
"Thank you Dudley!"the red-haired witch could not help but smile, and she did not want to, her big, strong nephew, leader of a large number of werewolves, came running up to her with three little cats in her arms and yelled from afar.
"Hard to believe he was a disgust," said Tonks, who was drinking tea with Lily.
"You can see what education is all about. You can also ruin a child with love, not just with hatred or indifference. "At these words, the green-eyed one looked at James who had just been eaten up.
"Never thought that death would make me so cold, it does not bother me what happened to the man I actually love."
"Because you're a mother who avenges her child, and I would do anything to help," Tonks said.
"Hello Dora," Dudley gasped as he finally arrived at the women's.
"Hello my dear, what kind of message do the little fur balls bring us?", The Metamorph wanted to know.

the werewolf dropped the three cats, he had given them names now, even though he did not find them original, but it was the first time he had animals in his care. Their name was Keck, that was their mother's name, their father's name was Fauchi and the little Velcro. Although Dudley himself was not so enthusiastic about his stupid name choice but the cats themselves did not mind.

Immediately the cats began to tell. However, only Lily understood what the little ones had to say. why did not she know herself, maybe the cats just wanted to be understood by the mother of Nekomata. At least they did not say anything.
Attentive, the redhead listened and was amazed at the ideas of the living.
"Phew, I'm really glad these people are all Harry's friends, as opponents they would not be very nice," she said.
The cats nodded and then made themselves comfortable on Dudley.
the young man was always honored when the animals came to him, they had forgiven him, even though he still reproached himself for his deeds of that time.
And it always says cats are vicious. Well, as a magician I might have come to the House of Lions as much as I still blame myself for some things. '

"So, what did you say?" Tonks asked excitedly.
"You should get the two Aurors, they would certainly like to hear that. then they can help right away, "Lily explained.
"I'm already gone," and Tonks disappeared.
"I always like that," Dudley said as he looked in the spot where a few seconds ago the young woman had been sitting.
"I'm sure you could learn it too. just because you're dead does not mean you're dead. Um, I mean, ... "stammered his aunt.
The werewolf chuckled.
"I know what you want to say. I can still learn. "
"True, and in this place you are not set as many limits as in the realm of the living."
"I've already noticed that, but what I actually admire is not the apparition itself, but the fact that you manage to keep your stomach contents with you. Neither as a living nor here I have succeeded in this feat. I let myself be taken several times by my wolves. They hate it the same way as I do. "
Lily nodded understandingly.
"That's probably because you are partly animals. Remus has always had problems with it, and even Harry, as far as I know, has never learned it. So the technology already, but the consequences have remained. "
"Then this way of traveling is just not for me. What else do you want with me later on the Spiegelsee? "
The young woman looked sadly at her nephew.
"You miss the world of the living after all?"
The young man quickly shook his head.
"No, I just want to look back at the speech that Harry and Lucius have kept at my grave. I can not get enough of it. It was so nice words, "sighed the boy.

The Spiegelsee was not made of water but, as the name implies, made of mirrors. In him you could see into the world of the living, but not always. The pictures of the present were only shown if it was important for the dead. So Lily had also learned what her husband had done wrong. Some things just had to be experienced, whether alive or not.
But what you always could see was your own funeral. This had no sadistic reasons, it just made it easier for the deceased to accept his own death. Because you saw that it really happened.
both Lily and Dudley had accepted their demise and could continue to exist here in peace, but Dudley still wanted to watch these pictures again and again. Something that saddened Lily. His best memory of his life seemed to be his funeral.
