Stories, Legends, and Myths Surrounding the Last Battle
Chapter 1: Remus and Tonks
Rachael Fardreamer sat in her favorite chair by the fire in the Gryffindor common room at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry reading Stories, Legends, and Myths Surrounding the Last Battle by Neville and Luna Longbottom.
Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks were battling several Death Eaters including Peter "Wormtail" Pettigrew. Curses of varying kinds flew everywhere around the group. Lupin was a tall, thin man with graying hair. His clothes were patched. His golden brown eyes kept darting to the woman beside him. Tonks was prancing around shooting off curses in a bright neon pink hair that came to her shoulders. She was short, slender woman that retained a youthful quality.
"Wormtail, how the name fits you! And prophetic too… I won't rest until you die. I still can't believe you killed James and Lily…" called Lupin disgustedly at Pettigrew.
Pettigrew was a short, stocky man with balding head and a silver hand that was a gift of Lord Voldemort. His beady eyes darted anxiously between Lupin and Tonks. "I had to. You can't imagine the power of the Dark Lord! He has powers that even his closest advisors don't know…"
"Excuses, excuses, excuses," retorted Lupin, as he battled the other Death Eaters shooting hexes, jinks, and Unforgiveables at him. "I would have gladly given my life for them as they were my brother and sister not in blood but in everything else. Enough of this foolishness! Avada Kedavra!" The bright green curse shot out of Lupin's wand toward Pettigrew which struck him in the chest. Pettigrew shot backward and hit a tree with a crack. He never rose again to torment the Marauders.
Lupin winced but did not regret killing Pettigrew but in that moment, Lupin had let his attention wander. Several green lights hit Lupin and he froze for a minute. He then sank into the ground with absolute shock on his face. His journey on the earth was finished.
"REMUS, NOOOOO!" came a heartbroken bellow. Tonks ran to Lupin and stood above him with a face full of grief, relief, and fury on her face. Several Death Eaters stood around with smirks on their faces and pointed their wands at Tonks, but Tonks had one last trick up her sleeve. She looked lovingly at Lupin, pointed her wand at the ground. She then summoned up every last vestiges of her magic, and said, "Centrio!"
The air seemed to shimmer for a minute then the white magic exploded out of Tonks with great force. The Death Eaters flew backwards and screamed. They seemed to burn from inside. Soon there were piles of ashes dotting the landscape. A gentle breeze began to waft across, blowing the ashes away.
Tonks had collapsed on top of Lupin. Her body seemed to be intact but burn marks could be found at the tip of her fingers. Her face seems to be gazing peacefully upward toward the sky. A figure appeared out of the mist, looking like a werewolf. It then transformed into a man as soon as a woman with shimmering pinkish hair appeared to his right. They embraced, kissed, and looked over the land. A minute later, they turned, walked away, and disappeared forever. Remus John "Moony" Lupin and Nymphadora "Tonks" Tonks were never again seen by a living being.
