Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or the song "The End". J.K. Rowling and The Remus Lupins do.
The battlements are ablaze I scream loud but can't hear my own voice
The lyrics are torn from your page
And he's singing just to you
There's a harmony in truth This ends here tonight
There we are, fighting our hearts out. Fighting for justice, for peace. I think of Teddy as I send an extra powerful spell at a Death Eater. I watch more and more people flood into the battlements as the battle picks up.
I would bet my life that when these clouds part
The stars are in our hands
The notes will take a stand
Our chances seemed slim at first, but the Death Eaters slowly began to fall apart. I was in a duel next to Kingsley when I saw pink hair. Which belonged to only one person: Tonks.
Stay by my side, don't let me go
Wanna hold you like a wand and keep you close
I can see the tunnel now
The past is on fire, every note is black
As I sprint across the ground I dare to look back
I see memories that curl like smoke
Curses tear between us two
For phoenixes there's work to do
I see you outlined in light
I wanted to tell her to go home, go stay with Teddy. Tell her that it's too dangerous. But being completely honest, I want her to stay. I want her to be the last person I see before I die. And yes, I know I'm going to die tonight. I can feel it. I run towards Tonks and grab her hand as she casts a spell at a Death Eater. I hold her tight as curses are sent across the fray.
"Tonks. I love you so much, more than you will ever know. I'm sorry I wasn't always there for you and I just love you," I said, wanting her to know how I felt before it was too late.
"Remus, darling. I do know. Because I love you that much too," she says as she smiles.
I kiss her. There in the middle of the battle. She pulls away and gives me a wink.
I squeeze her hand one last time before we're split to different sides of the battlements.
Stay alive until morning and I'll find you (x4)
I want, no, need her to stay alive. I might not make it, but she needs to. Teddy needs a mother, someone to tell him why I'm not there, someone he can talk to about anything.
She needs to make it through this.
And so Harry runs and I can barely see
If I trust in love then I've gotta believe
I put all I got into one last spell
Another near miss, a green light, oh it nearly connects
It's all I've got now, one last shield charm
and I've gotta protect Lily and James's final song
Tears are clouding my vision, all that's left is home
As we reach a crescendo,
Green light and I say bye, bye to you
I watch Harry run by and so does the Death Eater I'm dueling with. The thug runs after Harry with me chasing after. I see Dolohov in the corner of my eye, raising his wand towards me. I cast a shield charm over Harry. "This one's for you Prongs," I think as I stun the Death Easter chasing Harry. I turn to Dolohov. I raise my wand, but not fast enough.
As the green light begins to blind me, I catch of glimpse of Tonks.
My final wish has come true. She was the last thing I saw.
