A.N. Okay so hi. This is my first Harry Potter fanfic. It's a short description of how both Tonks and Remus feel in the Battle of Hogwarts. It's just a quick one shot really. It's not that good I admit, but it will do for now :)

Disclaimer: I unfortuantly do not own anything from Harry Potter. I would like though, but my mind is not as brilliant as J.K's is.

Tonks' POV

She knew she shouldn't have been here. She had promised him she would stay with her mother, with Teddy. But she just couldn't face not knowing. What if something happened to him? What if he got killed? No she couldn't think like that. He would be alright; this was Remus she was talking about. Her loving, amazing husband. He would be fine. She hoped...

Heading out of the Room of Requirement, deafening sounds meet her ears. The window opposite her shows the fights that are going on, down in the grounds. Flashes of red and green light illuminate the people down below. She runs up to the broken glass and looks out into the slightly cold night. She cannot spot Remus from this high up. He's down there, fighting for his life and the safety of the wizarding world and she's just standing here doing nothing.

She looks over at Ginny and bites her lip. She can't leave the young girl on her own it's far too dangerous, yet she needs to find Remus. ''Ginny.'' She says. ''Ginny I need to go find Remus, I'm sorry.'' Her heart is aching slightly. What if she doesn't find him? What if something terrible happens? Tears start to fill her eyes, but she blinks them away fiercely. No, she can't break down now. She has to find Remus.

Running down a corridor, wand in hand, she meets the first duel on her way outside. She does not know who the Death Eater is and doesn't really care. She switches into Auror mode and starts to send hexes and curses at the Death Eater. Finally he is stunned and a seventh year Ravenclaw thanks her. She gives him a small smile and runs off again, taking stairs two at a time, hoping nothing has happened to her husband. She can't bear to think of what she would do if something did happen to him. Again tears threaten to emerge, but she wipes them away with the sleeve of her jumper. There are shots from the floor below and she see's several duels going on at once. She knows the best thing to do is to help. So, despite another pang from her heart she joins in the battle.

It's time to concentrate, yet her mind keeps switching to her husband who she loves so much. Who could not live without. Who has given her so much joy and happiness through these long, hard months and who had to suffer so much, yet didn't say a word. And their son, Teddy. Who means so much to her. Who made the light come back into Remus' eyes after such a long time. She remembers the moment when he made his daddy smile. That had made her smile too. Their little bundle of joy brought back the feeling of love and of being together. They became a family and there was nothing more she could have wanted.

''I love you Teddy.'' She whispers as she sends some more spells towards a Death Eater. They fall backwards and she manages to move on; down into the lower parts of the castle. Chunks of staircases are no longer there. Holes in the walls and broken windows show the grounds in darkness; the only light being the spells being shot at people. She closes her eyes for a moment and wish. Wish that everyone she loves will be safe and that they will not die. That he will not die.

She enters another corridor and stop dead. In front of her is the one person she wished so hard not to meet. Bellatrix. She sees her niece and an evil smile appears on her face. She's been waiting for this moment for a long time.

She (Tonks) just stands there, and in a split second she knows. She knows this is how it ends. There is no one else around. Just her and her aunt. The one that kill Sirius. The one that tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom. The one that has caused so much pain to so many people. The one that has wanted her dead for ages. There's no going back now. No point in running, or fighting. She knows there is no way to survive this. Her hope of finding Remus is shattered into a million pieces. All she wanted was for one last glimpse. One last conversation...

A tear trickles down her face, from those grey natural eyes...

There is silence for moment. Nobody moves. Then there is a distant sound. The sound of her name. Remus possibly? She suddenly feels strength inside of her. Knowing Remus is safe gives her the courage to fight.

And so that is what they do. Spells fly in both directions, narrowly missing both women. Spell after spell after spell gets sent. The duel seems to be equal, until...her wand gets knocked out of her hand and flies up into the air. Her aunt laughs manically and she knows that this is there it all stops. Her breathing slows and she shuts her eyes gently. ''Remus'' She whispers as she hears the words that cause so much damage. And everything becomes black.

'And I'll go the distance until I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms'
