Remus Lupin woke with a start with his ears ringing and vision clouded. He looked around with panic forming inside as he stood up with pain in his side. Wait, did I? no it's not the end of the month. He nodded to himself. He put his hand on his side and felt blood, well, another scar, that is great, he thought as he started to walk as his vision cleared. The school was destroyed, he could not see anyone anywhere. Am I the last one? He shook his head and walked looking for any trace of life.

Remus walked for a few more minutes before he felt completely drained. It wasn't from the wolf fighting to break free no, it was from his side and the feeling of loneliness that he felt inside. He fell to the ground without him realizing. Then he blacked out again.

Hours later with his still ringing ears, he heard someone calling for him. He looked up weakly expecting it to be Dora, but it was not. He put his head back down when he saw Hagrid's face come in the view of his still fuzzy vision.

"Remus, Remus?' Hagrid said with his booming voice that made the ringing worse. Remus made a noise in response. That is when he felt him pick him up and carry him some ware, but he did not know where he was going because he passed out again.

Remus woke, his vision was still fuzzy sure, but he could see that he was some ware in the school. He made a noise and coughed. This, of course, made people run over to him.

"Remus are you ok?" It was Ron, he noticed. Scared to speak he nodded. He also saw that Hermione and Harry were also there. Remus smiled when he saw Hermione holding Ron's hand.

"Are you ok Remus?" Harry asked. Again, Remus only nodded. There was one question that burned in his mind like when he turns.

"Where's T-Tonks?" he stuttered with a ruff voice that shocked himself. Remus saw his friends faces fall. They did not need to say, "She's, S," he tried to say but his sore throat closed as he felt tears run down his scarred face. His friends sat down next to him and to his surprise, all three hugged him. He did not push them away or say anything.

He did not know how long he sat there on the ground in the damaged, destroyed school, but he liked the company of his friends sitting down next to him. Harry had told him what had happened. Though he was happy that Voldemort was gone forever, but he still felt empty inside for his wife and that she will never see their son again. He wanted to see his son, his little Teddy. Thinking about him made his old hart shatter. Harry, Ron, and Hermione left him to rest after a few minutes later. Leaving the lonely Werewolf alone.

"How are you feeling Remus?" Molly Weasley asked as Remus sat up a little but that made him wince in pain.

"Whoa, stay down Mr. Lupin, your ribs are broken," Remus nods and lays back down and closed his eyes. Molly just looks at him.

"I'm sorry Molly," Remus said putting a hand over his face and running it down his scars. He seemed to have more than before, because of the battle that they had just fought in together. Molly nods thanks. He knew about Fred, Ron told him, but no one told him what had happened to Tonks. Remus let out a sigh and looks around. There were many students in groups talking together in the wasteland of what used to be a great beautiful school. He saw Harry and his friends together with The Weasley's. they were saying goodbye to Fred he noted in his head to say goodbye to. Well, well, how do I go on now. Will Teddy, my son see me as his son? Remus let out a shaky sigh and looked over at the concerned look from Molly Weasley. "I'm fine," he lied more to himself than to her, but she did not look convinced. Remus looked away for a second. The Remus looked over to Molly again as she shrugged and got up leaving him alone again. Remus looked over to his side to see Tonks. With sadness displayed on his face, he got up ignoring his broken ribs as he walked over to her. He fell to his knees and started to cry.

At this point, Remus wished he was dead himself, but then he got a second thought because then he will never be with Teddy again and his son will grow up without a father. Remus wiped the tears with his scarred hand and kissed his dead wife's forehead gently. This made him want to cry again. Remus stood up and walked out of the school without telling anyone. He needed to see his son, that might make him happy in this terrible life he has. He let out a lonely sigh as he walked through the woods. He had a thin smile on his face when he got to his old, run-down house. "Teddy," he said quietly as he walked through the door. He walks over to the crib where his son slept. He reached his hands down to pick up his son. There is always hope after a fight. He thought as his smile grew wider. Teddy opened his big eyes and smiled at his father. "Come on Ted, let's show everyone there is always hope," Remus said as he walked out of his house.
