A/N: Just an idea I had after reading Deathly Hallows. This is basically just a bunch of songfics to commemorate the people who died in Deathly Hallows. Oh, and I'm definitely not JK Rowling, because if I were, Lupin, Tonks, Fred, Hedwig, etc. would still be alive, so, consequently, no one would have read any of my books.
Paper bags and plastic hearts
All our belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
"Remus…This is it, isn't it…" said Tonks breathlessly. The two newly weds were surrounded by Death Eaters, with her uncle and aunt leading them.
But we've got one more night
"It might be, but we can fight. We'll take down as many was we can, Tonks. I know we can. I'm with you. Let's fight so Teddy can have a real life." He grabbed his wife's hand and thought of his new baby son's smiling face.
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right
"NOW!" Tonks and Remus twisted around, dueling as hard as they could, trying to take down the people who took Sirius, Dumbledore, Lily, James, everyone away from the world.
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
"STUPID HALF BREED! STUPID MUDBLOOD WHO DEFILES THE BLACK NAME!" shouted Bellatrix. "You can't beat us. Not even your sweet little love will do anything to stop us." Bellatrix sent a jet of green light that narrowly missed Remus.
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
"HAH! I got another one!" yelled Tonks.
"Nice one, honey!" said Remus, who was dueling with Rodolphus.
Cause we are finally free tonight Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
"There's no one else I'd rather be killing scum with than you, Remus. I guess my Auror skills that Moody taught me ended up being useful!" Tonks kept spinning around, missing curses closely, and sending new curses at the Death Eaters
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
"Tonks…they just got Fred." said Remus quietly so the Death Eaters wouldn't hear.
"Uhoh…There's gonna be hell to pay from Molly. For Fred?" said Tonks between curses.
"For Fred."
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive
"You know, Tonks," said Remus when he wasn't sending curses around, "Maybe I should think about being an auror. And you could teach me the ropes."
"Oh believe me, Rem. You'd kick my butt."
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
"Remus…They have giants. Oh my god they have giants. We're losing here. We're completely losing. And Harry's nowhere to be found. Oh my god."
Cause we are finally free tonight
All of the wasted time
All the hours we left behind
All the answers we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
"Nymphadora!"
"DON'T CALL ME - Wait, what?" said Tonks. Remus whipped Tonks around and pressed his lips against hers with passion.
"I needed to do that…Because this could be our last chance." Tonks had a horrible feeling that he was right.
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
Things seemed to go in slow motion as Bellatrix waved her wand. A jet of green light shot out of it, and she watched it hit her husband. That same person killed her cousin. Remus was gone. You never think the last kiss would be the last, even though they both said it would. She thought they'd have more time, that there would be a bigger family in store for the Lupins.
"Aww, is the wittle Auror sad because her husband got killed by mean Auntie Bella?"
Snapping out of her thoughts, she looked around to see if she had help. There was no one around her. She was the only Auror left in that part of the Great Hall. It was all up to her.
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
"How do you feel, my niece? Your darling, stupid half breed husband is dead. He was a worthless piece of – "
"DON'T TALK ABOUT REMUS LIKE THAT! HE'S A BETTER MAN THAN YOU'RE HUSBAND WILL EVER BE!" Tonks was red with rage as she sent the Killing Curse at Rodolphus, who had been distracted by Remus' death. He slunk down, unmoving. Bellatrix and Tonks just looked at each other for a moment.
"You…you killed him. You killed my husband."
"Aww, is poor Auntie Bella sad that her wittle niece got the only thing other than Voldemort that you cared about? Did you love him? Will you finally understand that you and lovely little Death Eaters are NOT IMMORTAL?"
"I...I...YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT ONE, MUDBLOOD!" screamed Bellatrix.
"Oh my! Auntie Bella is crying!" Tonks let out a jubilant laugh.
And thats when the jet of green light came barreling towards her.
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Tonks sank to the ground next to her husband, her hand still in his. Things went black, then cleared up into a new, familiar scene, where her father and husband were smiling at her. She was no longer at Hogwarts. She was with Remus, her love, in a much nicer place where her aunt was no longer trying to kill her. There was no more fear. No more prejudice against them. No more running from the Ministry.
Cause we are finally free tonight
