"Avada Kedavra!" were some of the few last words Remus Lupin heard. Not that he had never heard the unforgivable killing curse. Oh, he had heard it plenty of times. There was to much going on around him. The second battle at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry seemed to be as bad as the first. Remus looked around to see who had been killed. At that very moment, he noticed that his wife, Nymphadora Tonks, was no longer standing beside him. He then looked down to the ground and soon found that Tonks had gone through the same fate that many of his friends had.

He couldn't believe what he had seen. There, lying on the ground cold and dead was his wife. She was so young. Then it hit him.

Teddy, he thought. She would never get to know her beautiful son and he, her. Lupin had been so preoccupied with his thoughts that he didn't hear the Death Eater beside him yell, "Avada Kedavra!"

Then the world went black.
