A drabble I wrote for #WeasleyFanClub's Deathly Hallows contest. This was supposed to be a much longer fic, but not only did I run out of time, but I also wrote half the story without realizing that it doesn't fit in with the book events :S oh well. 100 words exactly is a challenge in itself!

Characters belong to Jo, not me.


The only thing on Tonks' mind was Remus. His careworn face, his surprisingly gentle touch. She needed to be with him, to make sure he was safe now that the battle of Hogwarts had begun.

She bounded outside and spotted his greying head among those battling on the grounds.

"Remus!"

He turned around, shocked, and an expression of utter tenderness spread across his face.

And then there was nothing. Hit by Dolohov's curse, Remus collapsed.

"No!"

Not caring about the battle, Tonks raced down to Remus' body. It wasn't possible –

Bellatrix cursed her weeping body, and Tonks wept no more.


Review, if you please! :)
