Never
A/N: Hi guys! So this is how I think it went for Remus and Tonks that night at the Final Battle
Remus Lupin was running as fast as he could, dodging spells, curses and hexes. He didn't care he wasn't fighting back. He didn't care of the students feebly stirring on the ground. All he could think of, was his wife, Nymphadora. He looked hopelessly left and right, up high and down low. He couldn't believe she left, leaving Teddy behind and came here! And if...they were dead...another orphan will be created in this madness called the world. He wiped away a tear, thinking about it. But now was not the time for crying. It was the time to save his wife from certain death.
"NYMPHADORA!" he screamed, not caring it was hopeless, that the number of sheer students would block the sound coming from his throat. He turned and saw a beautiful, pink haired woman, fighting two death eaters at once. Tonks. She turned and saw him
"REMU-" She almost got out, before one of the death eaters she was fighting screamed "SECTUMSEMPRA!" The spell, cut her knee, and she fell to the ground, to Lupin's horror. He roared in anger, a shadow of a wolf being shown for the first time since Tonks' met him. He ran forward and killed one of the death eaters, the one who did this to his wife. He looked in anger as the body fell onto the bloody floor. He looks up just in time and ducks, missing death. He comes back up and sees the death eater's hood has fallen off. His eyes widened, and he felt his wand twitch, not to kill, nor defend. But to torture, to cause pain. Remus, never believed in causing others pain, as he knew sometimes, that pain could never be taken back. But as he watched Bellatrix Lestrange get up, he wanted nothing more then to cause pain, to make her scream, to make her feel what she's done to him and Tonks. She snarls
"Ah! Lupin!" she cackles, before getting flames to come out of her wand and directed it towards Remus. He hopped neatly to the side, and Nymphadora leaned back, the flames frying another human. Bellatrix cackled as the burned student was killed with glee. She maniacally laughs.
"How are the kids? I hear they make good guard dogs!" She laughs. Nymphadora eyes, widen, with fire dancing in her pupils. She lifted her wand and yelled "SECTUMSEMPRA!"
The spell jetted out of her wand, and missed Bellatrix by an inch. It did however, catch a bit of her hair. Tonks watched in satifaction as it fell off her head. Remus ran to Tonks, and held her hand. It looked as though it was the end for the two. Bellatrix raised her wand, and all Remus could think of how sorry he was for his child. But to his astonishment, Bellatrix simply grinned and turned away into the inky night
Remus was stunned, but he picked Nymphadora up and with side along apparaition, apparated to Hufflepuff common room. He set her down on the couch and held her hand"Dora.." he said, as he cleaned her blood wound. It was clear she had lost a lot of blood, so she gripped his hand as tightly as she could
"Remus...don't leave" She murmered as he finished cleaning her wound. He looked up, and with tears shining in his eyes, replied "Never"
"Well, Well, Well" A sudden voice came out of the shadows. Remus lept up, and before he could say anything, was disarmed. From the shadows, came Antonin Dolohov, his twisted face grinning evilly at the two Order members. Nymphadora tried to raise her wand, but was disarmed as well. Remus lept next to her and clutched her arm, holding her tight.
"Well...trapped, nowhere to go, might as well give up" Antonin laughed
Nymphadora just held as long as she could to the man as she loved, and heard him whisper "I'll never leave you" before she saw the green light, of a short life
Probably the shortest, and most rushed thing I've written...nevertheless...
