He ends up just breathing for a while, his face pressed hard into Harry's shirt, until he can shake his head and lift it and say something incoherent about how they'd all known it might happen and still it was a good way to--
It's harder than you'd think to say the word, isn't it? Die?
Anyway, see, he's breathing now, and a little red-faced, and as alive in this place as anyone could want, and so is Harry.
