Ten Things About…
Chapter 4
Nymphadora Tonks
She hated her first name more than anything in the world. Even brussel sprouts.
When she was little, she absolutely hated the color pink, in all shades. Then she got kind of tired of her usual shade, violet, and finally started wearing it pink. Much to her mother's delight.
She loved being in Hufflepuff. She thought it was the best house ever. Better than Gryffindor, because everyone there was nice. She once punched a Slytherin in the face for insulting Hufflepuff. Then she had to scrub the toilet bowls in every single bathroom in the entire school. But it was still worth it!!
She didn't care one bit about Remus being a werewolf. She knew from the moment she met him of his state, and she didn't give a damn (sorry, language).
When she was pregnant, she ate 7 gallons of jelly beans. She counted.
6) After her dad went away, she missed him a lot. He always seemed to make everything ok. And now that he was gone, and she was pregnant, everything seemed like it was falling apart.
7) The days when she, Remus, and Teddy were all together was the happiest time of her life. She never got sad, scared, worried, anything. Everything seemed perfect.
8) Every night, she would sit by Teddy's crib and just look at him sleeping for hours. She was afraid that she wouldn't have enough time to look at him. She was afraid she'd run out.
9) On the night of the Battle of Hogwarts, she was so scared and sad when Remus told her he had to fight and left. She was almost positive she'd never see him again. And that's what made her leave. She wanted to help him, to save him, she wanted to tell him not to fight. Once she made up her decision to leave, she wasn't scared anymore. All of the space of her heart that was filled up with fear, got filled with anguish instead. She loved her son so much. Teddy. She didn't want to leave him. But she had to.
10) When she got to Hogwarts, she knew what she had to do. She was determined and not the least bit scared. She sought out Remus. She knew she had to hurry. She knew she might be too late. She found him in the entrance hall fighting Antonin Dolohov. She ran at him, but before she could embrace him, a jet of green light hit him in the side. She didn't really remember much after that. Just screaming and clutching his body. Then her memory became crystal clear. Pulling out her wand as half a dozen Death Eaters entered the room. Shooting curses at them, still sobbing. Bellatrix coming out of the throng, and a jet of green light. Her last thoughts were of Remus and Teddy. And her heart was emptied of grief and filled up with love. And she knew that if she had to die, then she was glad she was dying without feeling fear, anger, or anguish. She was glad her final act was love. And that was it.
