AN: Here's the next chapter! And to sum up any confusion, the last chapter-Fred and George- is also a one-shot. Nothing else other than that…I do not own HP!

…

When she arrived, it was chaotic. People everywhere were running to their positions, ready to fight. It would only be a matter of time before the Battle would begin.

Tonks had left little Teddy at home with her mother, not being able to bear leaving Remus alone to fight by himself. She had to find him before the Battle started.

She raced through the corridors eventually coming to the Quad, catching the side her husband's scarred face. Tonks bounded towards him, calling his name.

"Remus!" He turned around, shocked to find her here.

He grabbed her forearms gently, looking into her eyes. "Dora, what are you doing here? You should be with Teddy!" he said.

"He's with my mother," she answered and when he continued to stare at her, added, "He'll sleep 'till dawn and snore like his father. It's you I need to be with tonight."

Remus looked like he was about to say something, like protest about her being there, but Tonks cut him off in a hug. The two were interrupted when someone instructed them to head up onto the second floor. They obeyed and stationed themselves in view of an open archway.

Tonks looked out the archway, the sky darkening with every passing moment. Still staring out at the grounds before her, she said, "Remus."

He turned to her and gave her a concerned look. "Yes?"

"I love you." She wanted to say those three words above anything else tonight. Her throat felt constricted; and she kept telling herself over in her mind not to cry. There was nothing to be sad about now.

"You say that as if we'll never see each other again," he stated quietly. "But we will. Even if we get separated, remember that we have Teddy to come home to. Remember that we have each other and that's all that matters."

Tonks felt comforted by that. He was right. They had each other, Teddy, and that was all that mattered. Suddenly, there was yelling below that they were on the horizon. Tonks looked at Remus, her heart pounding in her chest. His eyes looked worried and concerned.

She slowly extended her free hand out to him in the dark corridor. Remus stared at it before reaching out his own free hand towards hers. "Remember," he whispered. "Remember I love you." Darkness was looming over the horizon. The Dark Lord's forces were coming.

…

Tonks was now in the thick of the Battle. Spells were flying everywhere and Tonks fired spells down at Death Eaters from a broken window. A familiar bearded figure raced past with some students.

"Wait! Aberforth!"

He stopped, twirled around at his name. "Tonks. What is it?" The only appearing wound on him was a scratch on his face.

"Have you seen Remus?" she asked frantically as she hurled another spell down below.

"He was dueling Dolohov, haven't seen him since," he replied as Tonks left her post within seconds of him telling her. She dashed down the opposite corridor to go find Remus.

…

"Come on, Werewolf! Is that all you've got?" Antonin Dolohov teased as he threw a jinx at Remus. Blocking it, Remus threw a full body-binding spell back. They had moved outside in the main courtyard; spells and curses lighting up the sky. Dolohov threw insult after insult at Remus. Remus could not let this man-this Death Eater's- words get to him. He had to stay strong for Teddy and Tonks. He had to get back to them in one piece.

A blast rebounded off of a wall and showered thousands of bits of stone onto him. He felt the dust settle on his coat and hair. He had to disarm Dolohov. It was the only way to get the upper hand.

"Expelliarmus!"

It hit his opponent exactly where needed-Dolohov's hand- and the wand flew through the sky and Remus reached up slightly to grasp it. He now had two wands, Dolohov none.

Remus smiled in his own delight, he would surely come out of this unscathed-

Suddenly, his body felt as if it were on fire. Agony coursed through his veins. He screamed; screamed so loudly his canine-sensitive ears rang. Now sure that Teddy and Tonks were not within his grasp. Sure that he would die of pain before he even reached that far.

"SUFFER WEREWOLF!" he heard Dolohov yell at him. "Suffer and long live the Dark Lord!"

Remus' screams echoed off the stoned walls as Dolohov laughed at his victim's pain. Remus crumpled into a heap on the dirty floor, trying to repeat the words 'I love you Dora; I love you Teddy' in his fading mind. Two images of his wife and son crossed his mind and imprinted themselves there as the life in his eyes faded.

…

"Well, well, well. If it isn't my traitorous niece. How's the hubby doing'?" a sneer came from the shadows.

Tonks whipped around, wand pointed into the shadows. A jet of blue light streamed from the darkness and hit Tonks squarely in the stomach causing such force to knock her backwards and onto the floor.

Bellatrix stepped from her hiding place, black curls framed wildly around her face, smiling evilly down upon her target. Wide-eyed, Tonks rolled out of the way just as another stream of light hit the ground.

Tonks cast her own spell cascading from her wand, but to no avail. Bellatrix blocked it. "It's quite a shame," Bellatrix said. "If your horrid mother hadn't gone off with that muggle-born, the family line would have been even more splendid than it already is."

Tonks threw a spell and it connected, making Bellatrix fall back. She screamed angrily and preceded to get up, casting a spell that hit the wall behind Tonks, only to trip herself in the process.

"You little-!" Bellatrix yelled and a jet of light projected from her wand, just as Tonks pronounced, "Stupefy!"

Tonks was suddenly immobile, frozen in a standing position for a second before crashing to the ground. Bellatrix had gotten up and was now standing over her.

"I guess it's time to prune the family tree!" Bellatrix cackled, spittle flying from her mouth.

No! She had to get back to Teddy. She had to get back to Remus. This could be happening! She couldn't die this way! Not with her murderous aunt as her killer-

And those two deadly words of green light flew from the dark wand and onto Tonks' frozen body. Death came quickly. She thought of how lonely Remus and Teddy would be without her as the twinkle in her dark eyes ceased.

…

Two peaceful bodies say next to each other, both without any visible marks of death. They were mourned by those who loved them most; their shared goal never reached. And when he was old enough, Teddy Lupin thought, my parents both died trying to get home to me.
