Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason

Tonks looked at the retreating back of Remus Lupin, thinking of what she would do to get him.


I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know

"Remus, I just wanted you to know that I will help you ask Evangaline out, but there is someone who'd be your valentine the moment you ask them."

Remus raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

"In front of you." And walked away, leaving a stunned Remus.


Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you
You are my only, my only one

Tonks didn't flinch when Kingsford got hurt, and didn't shed a tear when Dumbledore died (I know that's not true but for the purpose of this tale…) but every full moon, she cried for the pain Remus felt.

Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone

A few years after Dumbledore's death, in the final war, Remus was about to be shot by a silver bullet, but in the last second, it punctured someone else's heart, who had stepped in front of him. Tonks. She gasped. Falling to the floor, she held a panicking Remus' hand. "Remus, I-I-I love you forever…" she managed before falling unconscious.


And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know

"NO! Tonks! I love you! Please! I was just scared, what if I wasn't good enough. I know I'm not. I'm too old, too poor, too dangerous." He trailed off. "I love you Tonks, know that." And her hand in his twitched. Her wound began to heal. The skin closed up. Her eyelids fluttered. She opened her eyes.


Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you
You are my only my only one

Looking up at a relieved Remus, she smiled. He bent over and kissed her.

Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone

The power swamped them. And the whole field too. The war stopped to gaze at them. Breaking apart, Tonks eyes sparkled. He loved her.

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only, my only one
