Tonks's POV

I was nursing Teddy when the call came for Remus. A call to go Hogwarts to fight. Immediately, Andromeda turned to me. "Nymphadora, you are not going. End of discussion."

"Seriously, Mum? Why not?" I said.

"Because you have a son, and you must be responsible," Andromeda said, frowning. She sighed, looking at my hurt expression. I was totally responsible! And what part about fighting in a battle isn't Responsible! "Teddy needs one of his parents. What will happen if both of you die?"

"That won't happen," I said, crossing my arms.

"Still, you are staying home, and that's final," said Andromeda.

I turned to Remus.

"I think it's best if you're safe," said Remus.

"And what about you?" I asked.

Remus sighed. "I'm sorry, but I have to go."

I bit my lip, "Do you have to?" I couldn't help but whine. Besides, I hand uneasy feeling about the battle.

"You know I have to," he said. He kissed me, and smiled sadly, "I'll come back, I promise."

"You better," I muttered, sad.

I hugged and kissed Remus goodbye. He was about to leave, when I stopped him. I gave him a picture of Teddy. We took it yesterday, and he had turquoise hair. He seemed to like that color. Sometimes, his hair would turn pink like mine, or a grayish-brown like Remus's hair.

"Keep it with you," I said. Remus nodded, gave me one last kiss, and left.

I sighed, and sat on the couch with Teddy. He giggled for a little bit, and then grew silent. His hair changed colors, which got a small, sad smile about of me.

The hours slowly crawled bye. I was impatient, waiting for Remus to get home.

Finally, Andromeda spoke up. "I hate to see you this distressed. Why don't we make a deal. You can quickly go over to the battle to see if Remus is okay. When you are reassured, at least for a little bit, come home straight away. I'll take care of Teddy for you."

"Really? Oh, thank you, Mum!" I said, hugging her. I gave her Teddy. She just gave me a wry smile.

"Don't get sidetracked with fighting or anything. Go there, see Remus, and come back. It might be hard, but Teddy needs you more than Remus." She said.

"Okay. Goodbye, Mum," I said, kissing her cheek. "I love you."

"I love you, too," Andromeda said, smiling as I grabbed my cloak and wand, and left.

I Apparated into Hogs Head like the call said. It was empty, but I saw the passage. I crawled through, and came out into the room of Requirement. I had had my share of adventures in there at my time in Hogwarts.

Ginny was there. A little bit later, a lady came in. The lady introduced herself as Mrs. Longbottom, Neville's grandmother.

We all stood there, until Harry came in.

Mrs. Longbottom walked up to him. "Ah, Potter. You can tell us what's going on."

"Is everyone okay?" me and Ginny asked at the same time.

"'S far as we know. Are there still people in the passage to the Hog's Head?"

Mrs. Longbottom shook her head. "I was the last to come through. I sealed it, I think it unwise to leave it open now Aberforth has left his pub. Have you seen my grandson?"

"He's fighting," Harry said.

"Naturally," said Mrs. Longbottom. "Excuse me, I must go and assist him."

She left, and Harry turned to me.

"I thought you were supposed to be with Teddy at your mother's?" he asked.

"I couldn't stand not knowing—" I said. "She'll look after him—have you seen Remus?"

"He was planning to lead a group of fighters into the grounds—" Harry began, and I immediately ran off.

The castle was a mess, with creatures everywhere, and the castle crumbling. Ginny caught up with me, and we looked outside the window. Instinctively, we drew out our wands. I could see giants.

I heard a voice behind me, "Let's hope he steps on some of them!"

I shouted back, "As long as it's not any of our lot!" Ginny started jinxing into the crowds below.

"Good girl!" Came a shout, as we saw Aberforth. "They look like they might be breaching the north battlements, they've brought giants of their own."

"Have you seen Remus?" I asked.

"He was dueling Dolohov, haven't seen him since!" said Aberforth.

I ran off, to find him. I heard Ginny say behind me, "Tonks. Tonks, I'm sure he's okay—"

I ran out into the grounds, dodging curses, people, and falling debris. Finally, I spotted Remus and Dolohov.

"Remus!" I shouted.

"Dora?! What are you doing here?!" yelled Remus.

"I just had to make sure you're safe!" I cried. "Watch out!" I cried as Dolohov's jinx came scarily close to Remus.

Remus sighed, "I just want you to be safe!" He said. And then it happened. Dolohov's curse hit Remus square in the chest. Remus bent backwards and screamed in pain. He fell to the ground, dead.

I screamed, and ran over to his body. "No, no, no, Remus, wake up. Come on, wake up. Please."

I heard a cackle behind me. I turned and saw Bellatrix standing there, wand outstretched. I stood up, and blocked the jinx she sent at me. We started to duel. I was careful to be mindful of the bodies around me, as I dodged and fired spell after spell. Bellatrix didn't care, kicking over bodies to get a closer shot at me. It was dark, yet the lights from the spells and fire gave me perfect vision. Bellatrix slinked into the shadows, like a cobra. I gave it my all, as it made me focus on the fight, and not my heart that's ripped apart. Finally, she disarmed me.

Knowing what was coming. I rushed to Remus's side. I wanted his face to be the last thing I saw. I whispered "I love you." His face was illuminated with a flash of green, and everything went dark.
