Tonks's POV

The snow melted, and flowers began popping up. Some days, I would go outside, and just sit there, amidst all the beautiful flowers. It was hard for me to move around, since my belly was huge.

I thought about my dad a lot. In the fall, he had to leave, being a Muggle-born. I closed my eyes, remembering…

Remus had come back, and Ted stood up to make an announcement.

"I have decided that it's too dangerous for me to be here."

"What?!" exclaimed Andromeda, incredulous.

"Dora, Remus, and you will be fine without me. Dora is an Auror, Remus is highly trained, and you are clever. Not to mention pureblood." Ted said.

I had bit my lip, and tried not to whine. I hugged my dad, "Do you really have to go?" I asked.

"Yes, Dora. Don't worry, I'll be back when the war's over," he said, giving me a small smile.

"Alright," I mumbled.

"I'll take care of them, Ted," said Remus.

"You better." Ted chuckled, "Although, they'll be fine own their own."

Since his mind was set, we said our last goodbye's and watched him leave. I had a bad feeling in my gut, but I had dismissed it with just pregnancy symptoms. Later, I realized it was foreshadowing.

…I opened my eyes, smiling fondly of my dad. It was getting late, and I headed inside.

"Where's Remus?" I asked, sitting down at the table.

"Gone off to get some news," said Mum, making supper.

A couple minutes later, Remus entered.

"Dora, Andromeda, bad news." He said, his face grave.

He sat down at the table, and Mum also sat down.

"What is it?! Does it have to do with Ted?!" she said, impatiently.

Remus nodded. "He's…dead."

I cried out in shock, and buried my face in my hands. It felt like my heart was being ripped out. I looked up, and my mum looked numb, as if she didn't understand.

"What happened?" I whispered.

Remus sighed, "Do you remember me telling you guys about You-Know-Who's name and how it become taboo?" I nodded, thinking about the stern lecture we were given.

"Well, he was with a couple other fugitives. One of them said the name, and the snatchers came," continued Remus, "They were going to be captured, so they fought. Ted and another fugitive were killed."

I nodded in understanding, and then the tears came. Heavy tears that wouldn't stop. I could feel Remus hold me as best he could, and I started shaking as I sobbed.

Andromeda rose up, and put away dinner. She sent her daughter and son-in-law to bed, and then finally, she went to bed. There, she cried the whole night, grieving her spouse.
