Goodbye for now.
My eyes burned, they burned from the endless tears that poured out of them. Three of the most important people in my life were lying in front of me, and the ache in my chest was unbearable. My sister was dead, Remus was dead, Fred was dead....hundreds of other people were dead but I just couldn't take my eyes away from them. I didn't know it was possible to feel like this again, to feel this lost and in so much pain. My eyes started to blur once more as i thought of little Teddy, my sister's son. He would never get to know his parents, never know how truly amazing they were. But I made a vow to myself to raise him as my own.
I know I should be comforting George right now, he was with his family sitting on one of the bleachers, but I just couldn't. I know he is hurting because he lost his twin, but i lost my sister as well as the one person who was there to take care of me. I didn't have parents like he did, and I now lost my sister so I felt like I truly had nobody. Draco was the only blood relative of mine in this world, and I was having a hard time forgiving him after being held captive in his home for so long. I haven't seen him or Aimee since we've been back to Hogwarts, and frankly i didn't care right now.
Suddenly around me all of the students stated running outside, I heard shouts and and the echoing of feet running out of the great hall, but all I could do was look down at how my life was ruined. I haven't let go of Remus's or my sisters hands in what felt like hours, their cold hands lying limp in mine. "Ill keep Teddy safe, I promise" I whispered as I gently kissed Nymph's cold hand. I stifled a sob as I slowly let go of her hand, I stood up and pushed some of her hair out of her eyes and kissed her forehead. I then turned to Remus. "You will always be my brother" I told him before kissing his forehead as well.
There were many people in here at the moment, just a couple kids with major wounds. Everyone had disappeared it seemed. I slowly made my way out of the great hall, and found everyone outside in the courtyard. Somber expressions lined everyone's face and I followed their line of vision and frowned. "NO!" i cried out as I saw one of my best friends dead. Harry was in Hagrid's arms unmoving. Everyone turned to look at me, many crying.
"Ah, Miss Tonks. So sorry to hear of your many losses" Voldemort said from the center of the courtyard, all i could do was glare at him, not having the strength nor self control to speak to him right now. I heard the cackling laugh of my deranged aunt as she skipped around the courtyard, kicking some of the dead bodies that were lying on the ground. "That was my doing, my lord" Bellatrix called out as she continued to skip around uncaring. I gasped and shook my head unshocked that she killed her own blood.
"You killed my sister?" I asked calmly taking a couple steps forward out of the crowd. "Ronnie, no!" I heard George's voice cry out behind me, but I kept walking towards my aunt.
"Brave little pet aren't you?" She sneered as she stopped running around and was now only a few feet in front of me. I frowned harder and gripped my wand tightly in my hand, wishing desperately to just kill her right now. "Bellatrix, get back here! You can kill her later!" Voldemort yelled over, he was smiling at me which made me want to vomit. Bellatrix smirked to me before running over to the death eaters and standing beside who I now saw was Narcissa. Narcissa looked like she was about to break down at any second, and I felt bad for a slight moment before glaring over at all of them.
"Draco, get over here!" I heard Lucious yell from beside her. I looked in the direction he was yelling at, and saw Draco and Aimee standing in the crowd together. They were both covered in black soot and neither of them looked right at all, they both looked like they had gone completely insane. Aimee I saw shook her head at Draco, but Draco tried pulling her along with him. I didn't even realize I was walking to them, until I found myself inches away from Aimee. "Let her go Draco" I said softly, reaching down and yanking Draco's firm grasp off of her. "Ronnie" Aimee said with a sob as she looked over at me.
Aimee had lost a significant amount of weight, and she just looked awful. She looked afraid and worried, and just above all she looked regretful for everything. "Draco, you step over to them and I will never forgive you" I whispered to my cousin who looked like he was about to combust. Draco looked between me and Aimee before shaking his head and turning towards his family. "DRACO!" Aimee screamed and tried to run for him, but I caught her around her waist and pulled her back. Draco stopped in the center of the courtyard and looked between his parents who were coercing him to their side, and Aimee who was sobbing in my arms. "I love you" Draco mouthed to Aimee before turning around and walking into his mother's embrace.
Aimee just cried heavier in my arms, and no matter how mad I was at her for everything that happened this past year, it broke my heart to see her like this. She didn't want this, she was just pulled into this by the love she bared my cousin. I know had it been Fred or George in that situation, I probably would have taken the dark mark along side them to protect the two of them. But the thought of Fred made me sob back down onto the ground with Aimee. "Im so sorry Ronnie" She whimpered to me as she clutched onto my side for dear life.
I wanted to tell her everything was ok, that we were ok. But I didn't get that chance, because everyone freaked out when Harry who was resumed dead, jumped from Hagrid's arms and took off running. "YES!" I found myself shouting in relief. So much relief flowed through me that i left Aimee on the ground alone and took off running to fight off any other death eaters who dared to cross to our side. I shouted spell after spell at every death eater I saw, stunning at least a dozen of them before I ended up back in the great hall with everyone else.
"Hello little niecy!" I heard behind me, and whipped around to see Bellatrix standing behind me with a smirk on her face. I growled under my breath before finding myself dueling with her. But she was gaining on me quickly, shooting the killing curse at me so many times it was hard to block any of them. I came up with the only thing I could, and closed my eyes after dodging a curse. And when my eyes opened I was standing on all fours, looking down at her tiny frame. A loud growl emitted from my lioness form and I lunged for her.
A loud scream sounded from her, before she was silent as I had just ripped her throat out. My lioness form clawed at her body, and she was virtually unnoticeable when I was finished with her. A death by curse would have been too easy for her, no pain. Bellatrix killed and tortured so may people she deserved the most painful death imaginable. When I changed back, I had blood dripping down my body, but I took sick satisfaction knowing Bellatrix would never hurt anyone ever again.
Things just went fast after that, Harry killed Voldemort just as he was always meant to. and any death eaters who were found wandering around were immediately carted off to Azkaban, including Aimee much to my dismay. But Kingsley informed me she just needed to be investigated and would probably be set free, saying she joined by coercion.
The aftershock of the battle I feel was harder than the battle itself. Dead bodies just lined every inch of the great hall, with students finding out their friends had been killed every other minute. It was not easy to see everyone weeping uncontrollably over bodies of their friends and family. I had been sitting in the corner of the great hall, hiding away from everyone. But the sounds of the sobs just caused me to rush outside into the fresh air.
I found myself sitting on the steps of the courtyard, with my head in my hands. "Ronnie" I heard behind me, and couldn't bring myself to turn around knowing it was George. I could feel his presence beside me, I could fell his fingers as they stroked the side of my face, but I couldn't bring myself to look at him. Because when I looked at him all I saw was Fred. "Sweetheart?" He asked, trying to get me to look at him. "Just go away George" I mumbled into my hands, still unable to face him.
"I know your hurting, but I just lost my brother. I need you" I heard his voice crack at the end, and I knew he was crying. I finally looked over at him, tears falling slowly from his soft brown eyes. "You don't need me Georgie. You have your family for that" I whispered looking down to my lap.
"Why are you being like this?" George asked.
"I just lost everyone George! I have nobody!" I screamed back at him, standing from my spot to turn and run away from him. But George grabbed my arm took quickly and pulled me into him, holding me so tight I could barely move. "Let me go George!" I shouted trying to punch his chest to get him to let me go. Tears streamed from both our faces as I finally crumbled into him and we fell together on the ground, George pulling me into his lap. "I'm sorry Georgie" I whispered gripping his shirt for dear life.
"No, I'm sorry Ronnie" he mumbled into my hair, planting kisses on my temple. "I have to leave George, I have a nephew who needs me" I said softly looking up at him. George nodded in understanding, with saddened eyes as we knew it would probably be a while until we would see each other again. "I love you, and i will be waiting when your ready" he said.
I nodded and kissed his lips softly, tasting the saltiness of both of our tears. "I love you too Georgie, goodbye for now" I whispered, before kissing his forehead and standing up. I took one final look at the man I loved more than anything, before apperating on the spot.
