Chapter 5- Remus/Tonks, Heaven
"Have you seen Remus?" Tonks called after him.
"He was dueling Dolohov," shouted Aberforth, "haven't seen him since!"
"Tonks," said Ginny, "Tonks, I'm sure he's okay-"
But Tonks had run off into the dust after Aberforth. She ran full speed, straight down to the grounds, frantically searching for Remus. Remus, her husband, the father of their child, the love of her life. He couldn't be dead. He just couldn't.
There he was. Alive. Tonks ran full speed towards him, tripping over a fallen piece of rubble at the last second, crashing into Remus, and knocking them both to the ground. "Remus!" She kissed him fiercely. "I was so worried!"
"Nymphadora!" He yelled, and seeing her face and hair start to turn red, kept talking. "No! You deserve to be called that right now! What were you thinking? Leaving our child with your mother! Putting yourself in danger! I wanted...I wanted you to stay alive." His voice cracked on the last sentence.
"Oh, Remus," she kissed his cheek. "I couldn't. Please understand. I couldn't stand waiting there, not knowing. I couldn't just stand there while you fought for us."
Remus nuzzled the stubborn witch's nose. "Tonks, I love you, but I still wish you would have stayed." He sighed. "I guess there's nothing for me to do now though. You're already here." He slipped his hand in hers and pulled her to her feet.
The couple pulled their wands out, ready for the next enemy. Tonks battled Yaxley when he tried to kill Remus, and when she was done, she turned to Remus, grinning widely and was about to say something when he fell. Greyback had ripped off his arm from behind, when Tonks and Remus had both been too busy to see him, and now the man she loved was bleeding.
"HELP!" she screamed. "HELP! SOMEBODY PLEASE! REMUS!" She fell to the ground beside him, smoothing his graying hair. "Please, no, Remus, please. You can't die, you can't leave me, us."
Remus just smiled, and wiped a tear from her cheek. "I never deserved you, Dora." Hearing her late father's nickname for her almost made Tonks break down right there.
"No," she whispered. "You're wrong. I never deserved you."
Remus coughed. "Do you think there's a separate heaven for werewolves?"
"No, Remus. I think you're going to be cured, and then one day you'll be with little Teddy and I." Tonks couldn't help the tears flowing freely now. There was no way he would make it, the blood loss was too great.
"I wish," he sighed. "Then no one will treat me differently."
"Oh, love. Heaven will be lucky to have you." Her smile was watery, but she was sincere.
"I love you," he told her.
"As I love you." Tonks laid her head on Remus' chest gently.
"You'll stay with me?" he asked.
"Forever," she promised, as green flashed in her vision, the last thing she saw was his eyes closing.
AN: Oh, so adorable :'D Remus/Tonks is probably one of my favorite couples as well, I wish they wouldn't have died. All the Mauraders are dead, wahhh. Review and rate, por favor.
