Chapter Two

DC: I don't own Harry Potter

After a moment of staring at Tonks, they could all hear the door open. Molly Weasley had opened the oak doors and strode into the room. Bill and Charlie close behind. They gave a wave to them, and stared at Tonks.

"She was up most the night with you Remus. And during the last three weeks, she's been only taking little naps." Molly said. "She doesn't look to well."

"Maybe we should get Madame Pomfrey?" Ginny suggested.

Molly thought that was best and sent her to go get her. Remus was a little worried. Tonks was paler then usual, and didn't look good at all.

"Maybe it's all that extra weight." Ron suggested. Hermione jabbed him in the ribs.

"Now's not the time for jokes." Hermione hissed.

"I was serious!" Ron said, rubbing his side.

Remus couldn't help but to laugh. Even with the extra weight, it wouldn't slow Tonks down. But being up late and not getting that much sleep could hurt you some.

Ginny came back into the Hospital Wing with Madame Pomfrey a few minutes later. She was down in the Entrance Hall trying hard to keep people from the ministry out. Apparently McGonagall and Hagrid wasn't enough.

"Back away, back away. And Lupin you are supposed to be in bed!" Madame Pomfrey scolded. She ushered people out, and made sure Remus had climbed into bed, before taking a very good look at Tonks.

She couldn't find too much wrong on the outside, and she didn't have the right equipment to look at her inside. It was too risky to be giving her potions with her state, so all she could to was pull a bed next to Remus and set her in it.

"If you have any problems tap this," Madame Pomfrey gave Remus and Harry a little piece of something metal. "Three times with your wand. It'll signal for me."

She then left out of the room. Harry was soon back to sleep, but Remus couldn't get to it. Things were on his mind. He worried about Tonks, but she slept soundly beside him. He wondered if Greyback was going to go after anyone to bite on a full moon. He hoped he wouldn't. But you never knew. He was a werewolf after all.

He sighed. He set the piece of contacting metal on the nightstand beside him. He closed his eyes and went to sleep. It came easier then he thought it would.

But he was woken up to a scream. He looked around him before his eyes landed on Tonks. She was thrashing around in her bed. Remus quickly turned to her, and held her arms down. She looked hurt, or at least her expression looked like it, and her hair was turning random colors.

Finally Remus got her to stop, and all she was doing was sleeping again. He let go of her, and looked around the room. Harry had lifted himself into a sitting position looking rather confused.

"It was Tonks don't worry. She must be having a bad dream or something." He said reassuringly.

"Do you want me to get Madame Pomfrey?" Harry asked. His hand was going toward his wand and the metal piece of whatever it was.

"No, Harry. I think she'll be fine. She's just sleeping."

Harry shrugged, and got comfortable again. Remus sat up, rubbing his back a little, before laying back down. He hoped it was only just a bad dream.

He fell back asleep, and he had a dream. In this dream he dreamt about the War. Harry and Voldemort were in the middle fighting, and he was on the sidelines watching. But then the ground shook and the side of Hogwarts fell. There was that scream.

But it was a real scream. It was by Tonks again, but this time she was awake. Remus sat up and looked at her. It was dark, but he could see she was holding her stomach and tears were falling from her eyes.

"It hurts!" She wailed.

Both Remus and Harry grabbed their metal things and wands. They tapped it three times. Remus set his metal back, and turned back to Tonks. She was breathing weirdly, and she was still holding her stomach.

Remus climbed onto her bed, and sat behind her. She leaned back on him. He offered his hands and she took them.

Harry had conjured himself a walking stick and stumbled his way over. "Is she…?"

But Remus couldn't answer. He was thinking to himself. 'She's too early. Too early! She's only six months. Too early!'

Harry sat waiting at the door, as Tonks crying grew worse. They wondered where Madame Pomfrey was. But soon their questions were answered. Madame Pomfrey bustled in looking flushed as if she were running.

It looked as though she was going to ask what was wrong, but she heard Tonks crying. She sent Harry to go get whoever else was in the Entrance Hall. She told him to take his time, but to do it as fast as he could. Harry was still injured of course.

She went to Remus and Tonks. One of Remus's hands was busy wiping sweat off Tonks's brow; her hand was squeezing the other.

"What happened?" Madame Pomfrey asked. She was using her mind and wand to bring her sheets and towels.

"I don't know!" Remus said over Tonks's wailing. "She just started to scream and say, 'It's hurts'."

She told Remus to leave. He didn't want to at the moment, but Madame Pomfrey had to be alone for this one. So he climbed off the bed and waited in the corridor outside the room. Harry came stumbling up the steps with McGonagall, Molly, Charlie, Hermione, and Ron following behind him.

"What's wrong?" Molly asked.

Remus shook his head. He was lost at the moment. His mind was racing with that one thought. She was too early.

"She started to scream earlier today." Harry answered for him. "And then she stopped, but then she started screaming and holding her stomach."

"Poppy won't let you in?" Molly asked worriedly. Remus just shook his head.

McGonagall was shifting a little. Everyone noticed this, and turned to her. Even Remus lifted up his head. "Something happened to her."

"What?" Remus asked worriedly.

"While the whole war was going on, she somehow got outside when she was supposed to be inside helping Poppy and the injured." She waited to make sure everyone was listening. "She bumped into Bellatrix Lestrange. And from what I saw Lestrange used the Cruciatus curse on her before Tonks killed her."

"WHAT?" Remus bellowed. He stood up looking very angry. "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?"

"She didn't want anyone to tell." McGonagall said. "She told me after I helped her up not to tell anyone. Especially you."

Remus was pacing now. Worry etched in his every feature on his face. Now with this information he knew why she didn't get that much sleep and she looked tired. She must have been having nightmares while she slept. And it must have been her who screamed before he was knocked out.

"Anything else anyone has to tell me?" Remus spat. No one made a move to say anything. He settled down just a little. Enough to tell McGonagall he was sorry.

"I'm sorry too. I should have told you. She just didn't want anyone to worry. But I did tell Poppy if that eases you any."

It did a little, but he was still worried out of his mind. He sat down again and stared at the door. Everyone now had a chair and was waiting for the door to open.

Madame Pomfrey opened the door. Tonks was still crying, but not as bad. She motioned for Remus to come, and Remus only.

"We have to get her to St. Mungo's." She said. "I cannot do anything of much help here. She was curse--"

"Yes I was told." Remus interrupted. "How do we get here there? Anything could…threaten her or the baby's life."

"It looks like we have to fly. I'll arrange everything, so you go be with her."

Madame Pomfrey walked out of the room. Remus staggered over to Tonks. She was still crying, but the wailing had stopped, and was still clutching her stomach. She turned to Remus. He grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Don't worry. Were taking you to St. Mungo's."

"I…I'm sorry!" She cried. "I should have…should h-have tol-d you about th-the fight with Le-Lestrange!"

Remus kissed her hand again, and stroked it saying, "Don't worry I'm not angry. Don't worry."

A few minutes later everyone came into the room. They were going to pack Tonks and Remus's things, while Ron and Charlie helped Tonks to Hogwarts grounds. Remus and Hermione followed behind them. He didn't want to lose sight of her.

There was a carriage like thing on the grounds. Attached to it was two Threstrals. Hermione filled him in on what was going on. The three of them were going to ride to St. Mungo's in the carriage. The carriage was charmed to bend and move the same way as the Threstrals so it would be a smoother ride.

Charlie and Ron let Remus and Hermione in first before trying to get Tonks up. Remus held her arms as they lifted her up and in.

Ron told the Threstrals to go, and they were lifted into the air. Hermione kept watch to see if they were going the right way, and Remus tried to calm Tonks down.

Remus noticed her robes were wet, and was trying not to think of the worst. But Tonks had screamed when she felt it. Hermione turned around, her eyes growing wide to what they saw.

Tonks was in real pain now that her water broke. She was squirming around as if that would stop the pain. She was squeezing Remus's hand to the point where it felt like she was going to break his fingers.

Hermione continued keeping watch. It would take at least ten minutes to get to St. Mungo's. Those where the longest ten minutes in Remus's life. He tried his best not to let too many screams and wails come from her. It wasn't best to attract attention in the middle of the night.

Finally they landed, and Hermione went ahead to open the path to St. Mungo's by talking to that doll.

Tonks couldn't move that well. She was now biting her lip to keep herself from screaming. She was shuffling her feet, and with every move it felt horrible.

Hermione sent the Threstrals away, and went in after Tonks and Remus. Tonks was still biting her lip, which was now bleeding, to keep herself from crying, while Remus steadied her. Hermione told Remus quickly that she had to floo back to Hogwarts.

Remus nodded, and patiently tried to wait for the sectary. No one was at the desk, and this was extremely urgent. Tonks couldn't help herself. Her legs gave way, and she fell, taking Remus with her. She let out a cry, before falling limp in Remus's arms.

Megumi: Hello.

So there are two ppl (Radiant and swimchick1614) who want to hear my explanation of Snape? Okie...here goes.

Well first off do remember that Snape wanted, or it seemed like, to take his hand away when he and Narcissa were doing the Unbreakable Vow. This could mean he really didn't want to do that last part. Okie, now remember Hagrid talked to Harry about Snape and Dumbledore had aarguement. Snape said he didn't want to do it anymore, and Dumbledore said he had to. It was something like that.

Lets pretend he didn't want to do the Vow, which he must have told to Dumbledore. Which meant that Draco had to kill Dumbledore. But in the end Dumbledore was trying to get Draco on the good side, so that he wouldn't have to turn evil.

I think Dumbledore wanted Snape to kill him. For one so Draco could try to have a better life, and so that it would look like Snape was a bad guy, so he could still spy for the Order. Well after that little plan I don't think anyone is going to trust Snape.

Dumbledore would never plead for his life either. He was either pleading for Snape to kill him, or for him to be brave, and do what he had to do. I guess those would be the same reason.

In my opinion I don't think Snape is evil. And the reason why he was going to attack Harry was because Harry called him a coward for killing Dumbledore.

Yep that is my explination. Hopefully it made sense...I should read it again.

Love to all, good and evil!
