(A/N- No reviews for the last chapter, so I figured I'd end it here…Remus and Tonks forever!)
"No…" His breath caught in his throat as he saw her, her dark purple hair whipping around as she sent spell after spell through the air. She was coming towards him, fighting her way through the crowd.
"Dora!" He yelled, as he caught her eye. "Go back!"
"Back?" She yelled indignantly, worry in her eyes, and he cursed himself for speaking as he'd obviously distracted her. "No- I had to see you- make sure you were okay- Stupefy!" As a green flash of light narrowly missed her and hit the wall above her shoulder, he dove towards her, not caring who he knocked over on the way or the curses flying towards him. Worry overclouded his mind as he reached her. He slashed his wand through the air, cutting down the Death Eater that was aiming towards her…Dolohov?
"Get my back!" She yelled over the chaos. He shook his head blindly; he wanted to stand in front of her, kill the people that were trying to hurt her, protect her and only her… "Remus…please!" He saw the desperation in her eyes and he shook his head, clearing his mind. He saw the sense in her plan and leapt to her back, each of them protecting the other.
"Spiders?" She hissed incredulously. "Stupefy!" Her bolt of red light hit one enormous creature, forcing it back, but more kept coming. There were too many. A giant's club hit a wall, and an avalanche of rubble came pouring down. He pulled her aside quickly, his arms around her…
As the castle came crashing down around them, she pulled him into the next corrider, that one, too, filled with dueling. He saw students falling down around them, and swallowed, hard. They were too young.
"No- NO!" He yelled, his voice hoarse with anger, as he saw Fenrir Greyback leap upon the fight with a greedy frenzy of energy. Tonks followed her gaze and shot a spell at him, before turning to Remus.
"Remus- NO!" She screamed, but he couldn't stop himself from tearing after him…the battle was no place for a werewolf. Not Greyback. It was the least he could do, whereas no one else could without fear of getting bitten.
Remus rolled upon him, a snarl rising in his throat…"Stupefy! Petrificus Totalus!" The spells missed Greyback by an inch, his mouth curling up in a leering grin…his yellow teeth already shining red with blood.
"Remus! Remus!" Tonks voice, terrified with desperation, cut through the fight to him, and with a last attempt at cursing Greyback, he found himself running back to her…he couldn't leave her. Not now, when their lives were so desperately on the line.
He fought back to her, his eyes meeting hers…fearlessness…a rush of love passed through him, and he dove towards her, seeing the green light almost in slow motion and hearing the yell a second too late. He turned to face death, the green blinding him…her hand in his…tears…but where was she?
The castle disappeared in front of his eyes, the only solid thing her hand in his…"I love you"…she was there. A second later, she came into focus, and he clung to her hand, the only light in a world of blackness.
"Teddy." His son. He would understand…
And then Lily, James, Sirius…there…he understood. He was in their world now, and she was with him. He was not dead, but living in another world, among his friends.
"I love you." He said it, not for the last time, but for the first time in another lifetime. He felt for the scars that were always faithfully on his neck, reminding him of what horrible beast he was, but they were not there. His fingers, desperately now, felt for them, but he felt smooth, white skin…
He was whole. And she was with him.
Forever.
