Authors Note: I don't know if I like this or not. I originally wrote a much longer version of this, which was very, very choppy. I didn't like it nearly as much. I'm still on the fence on this one though. It still seems kind of choppy, but it's a lot better than the other one. This is in Tonk's point of view during the Battle of Hogwarts. It might seem a little OOC, because Tonks is really tough. I thought, though, that seeing how much she loves Remus in the books (when she went totally depressed in Half Blood Prince) that seeing him die might send her into a (sadly temporary) state of depression. I also learned in Health class that shock is a stage of depression...or maybe not. I don't really remember. I might be mixing it up with depression...anyway, I figured she'd be really upset when Remus died. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything! J.K Rowling owns the wonderful Harry Potter universe and it's characters. I don't even own the actual story, because I'm writing it on a school computer.
She was

Down down down.
She saw him beside her
The flash of green light
The expression of shock frozen forever on his face
And then he fell
Collapsed on the ground
Never to stand again
When he fell, she fell too
Into a black hole
Grief buried her as she realized
They would never talk again
Hug again
Kiss again
Teddy would never know his daddy
She was frozen
Paralyzed
Stuck
Immobile
She stood there for a while
Unable to move
Until she heard her aunt cackle behind her
She was jeering
Her body unfroze
As she shot curse after curse at her aunt
Trying to get revenge
On the people who killed her husband
Who had ruined her life
She fought hard
Her thought never wavering from Remus and Teddy
Her family
The revenge she needed to get
And the world her son should live in
She fought hard
But she couldn't win
As she saw the flash of green light
Racing
Speeding
Rushing towards her
Eager to take her life
Time slowed down
And her life flashed before her eyes
Playing with her father
Shopping with her mother
Talking with her friends at Hogwarts
"What had they talked about?"
She found herself thinking
Something that surely didn't matter now
Not when she was milliseconds away from her death
Yet somehow, it did matter
She saw training with Mad-Eye
Laughing with the Weasleys
Christmas with the Order
Holding Teddy
And Remus was everywhere
The first time they'd met
Their patrols and guards together
Their dates
Their wedding
Spending time with Teddy
Recalling these happy times
Made her at peace
She welcomed death
Bittersweet as it was
She was so sad she wouldn't know her son
That she had left him
But she wanted to be with Remus again
And all her friends that had already
Left this life
So she welcomed death
With a peaceful smile
With a twinge of sadness in her eyes
And everything went black
And peaceful
Oh so peaceful
She was at peace
Forever
Author's Note Numero Dos: So there you have it. Please let me know what you think. I also have another Remus and Tonks fic called Until the End. I'm kind of obsessed with their death, for some reason. I have some other stories planned too. Please, please, please review. I recently wrote a bucket list with my friend, (I'm not dying, it was just for fun) and on it I put "Get 100 reviews on fanfiction! I probably won't get 100 reviews on this, but I would love it so much if I did. So please review. Thank you! Oh, and Happy Easter, if you celebrate Easter. If not, happy getting a few days off of school!
