Re: Ginny's Death
Sirius just nodded as James let himself give voice to the truth that his mother was dead. He knew it couldn't be easy, he could see the toll it took on James just to say the words aloud.
"Downstairs." Sirius finished James' thought, they needed to take Ginny downstairs - to the Great Hall, they needed to tell someone what had happened. "We need to take her downstairs." Sirius told James, still holding James close, just a calm steady touch while they knelt there on the stone floor.
"I'll help you." He told him in a quiet voice. "Come on, we can't leave her here."
