Tonks yanked her wand out and started to shook stunning spell after stunning spell. This was horrible. She could hardly think straight. "Duck Ron!" she yelled as a stunning spell shot over their heads. Tonks swerved and Ron had pulled his wand out. They kept shooting as best they could but Tonks had to focus on where they were going. She didn't know if her husband was still alive even, this was ambush, he could've been killed as they got high enough.
George pulled out his wand and started shooting spells as fast as he could. "You steer, I'll shoot!" he yelled shooting a stunning spell at a Death Eater who ended up falling off his broom. "Well he's dead.."
Sophie held on with one arm and shot spells over their shoulders and all around them. Several Death Eaters she'd shot had fallen off their brooms. She kind of felt bad about it but she couldn't show it now, if she did, it would give her away.

Remus nodded in understanding, doing as George said. This was no time to argue over who was in charge or not, because this was in the heat of battle. Remus steered as best as he could, avoiding spells as best as he could. This was his luck. His terrible luck. He just got married, and now she was in grave danger and had a high chance of dying. Remus tried keeping himself focused. Plus... how could George talk so casually about killing a Death Eater?
Teddy kept steering his broom, sending spells when he could. Steering and fighting moving targets was about as hard as hitting the tip of a needle several hundred feet away with a small sling shot. He remained focused on steering mainly, but when he could he shot a few spells in the way of the Death Eaters.
Harry was frantic. Hagrid was steering the bike and now, well they were upside down. Harry saw his firebolt fall to the Earth, but he managed to grab hold of Hedwig's cage and his bag. And then right before his eyes he saw a bright jet of green light hit the small trapped bird. And everything seemed to crash to Harry. Hedwig. Gone. Forever. She would never bring him anything else again. She would never bring a new broom to his table, or a letter from Hagrid inviting them over for the weekend. However the time for mourning the poor bird would be later. Harry shot a stunning spell at a Death Eater, before a hood came off of one of them. Stan. Harry then shot a Disarming spell, before Stan shouted. "It's him. It's the real one!" Oh dear, he was in trouble.

Tonks started to zig-zag. She wasn't focusing clearly on what she was doing. She decieded it was best to focus of flying. She didn't even know where they were and then she saw him, for a brief second, Voldemort was after her and Ron. She took a deep breath and flew faster. Then he was gone again. She kept flying fast just incase, but why had he left?
George let out a howl of pain and held his ear. He was bleeding he could feel it running down the side of his head, but who'd done it? He turned around. Severus Snape. The Potions Master. A murderer. "Remus, turn your head around.. quick.." he said just before passing out. Then he slumped forward, he wasn't dead, no... just passed out from blood loss.
Sophie shot a few more spells, and they all missed, "Please tell me we're nearing our distination? Because it's getting harder to shoot them back here!" she had to keep going.. If she didn't it would mean they'd both die. It would be horrible, they wouldn't even get to keep their parents alive long enough to have more children.

Remus turned back to look at George and immediately he knew something was wrong. George had slumped over and he was bleeding like crazy. And that's when he saw him. Snape. That traitor! But he couldn't do anything now, George was loosing too much blood. Remus did hid best to keep George up while still steering. It was difficult, but soon he found a good position, and while he wasn't able to attack, or frankly defend with his wand, at least he could steer with some ease, while keeping George up. He had to hurry.
"I don't know!" Teddy shouted as he pulled into a dive. They were heading straight for a small body of water below them. They came closer and closer. It almost looked as if they were going to dive straight into the lake. And then Teddy pulled up, whipping his wand around, making the water form a wall before freezing it. You could see couple of Death Eaters frozen in the wall, but the others were breaking through. Teddy kept speeding forward as fast as he could.
Gold Flames. How did he conjure them? It didn't matter, because he heard Voldemort try to conjure the killing curse again, before nothing. He had crashed, and soon lost consciousness.

Tonks saw something out of the corner of her eye, a red light. She closed her eyes and waited to be sent flying from the broom, it never came. Ron had blocked it and they were cominging in for a rough landing. "Now would be the time to tuck and roll.." she said as the got closer to the ground. They both jumped off, Ron landing with a soft thud on his feet and Tonks with a roll onto her back. "Figures I'd be the one who ended up landing on their bum." she smiled. Ron chuckled.
Sophie turned around slightly enough so she could transfigure the water into a lion. She might be able to knock them off their brooms with just water. She yelled at her brother, "If we crash land in water I'm going to hex your skin off!"
George couldn't do anything except sit there and bleed. His ear was gone. He could still hear but, there was nothing more than a bleeding hole there. Oh well, something had to happen, and he was going to be able to joke about it later. . . Right?

Snape was still following them. Remus let go of the broom for a second and shot a spell at the traitor, missing him ever so slightly. He knew they had already missed their portkey, and so Remus had aleeady changed courses for the Burrow directly. The sooner they got there the better. He wanted to pay Snape back, but he couldn't without endangering George. "We're almost there," Remus aid to the bleeding George.
"I won't!" Teddy shouted back as they flew just inches above the water. He quickly did a zigzag in order to avoid any spells coming their way. The only thing bad about it made their aim quite bad. It wasn't long until everything stopped. Had they made it? Oh no... Teddy had miscalculated the trajectory and the broom handle dug into the ground now below them successfully launching him quite far.
It wasn't long until Harry regained consciousness, and met Andromeda Tonks, mother of his dear friend, Tonks. After accepting she wasn't Bellatrix, Harry and Hagrid transported to the Burrow.

George groaned an "Okay" but kept absolutely still. He didn't want to lose anymore blood, he had to stay alive to joke about all of this with Fred.
Sophie had been launched a bit further than her brother and sat up rubbing her head, "Really... you send us flying into dirt, rather than make a soft landing!?" she took a deep breath through her nose.
Tonks and Ron ran into Muriels house, they'd missed their portkey and were now recieving a lecture. They were just going to have to apperate, it was the quickest way. If only this lecture would end! But Muriel kept droning on, and on, and on about how they should have been their earlier and how they couldn't dawdle. Tonks held her arms around her stomach, she was getting kind of hungry. Ron sat there trying not do doze off, Great Auntie Muriel would not SHUT. UP. They'd even tried explaining to her why they'd missed it. That didn't work, she didn't even listen to them!

And so the instant Remus entered the barrier, he flew George up as close as he could to the door. Harry was asking what happened, but Remus finally could focus. He immediately pulled Harry against the wall. "What was the creature in the corner of my room the first time Harry Potter came into my office?" He jad to make sure he wasn't an imposter.
"What?" Harry asked confused.
"Answer me!" Remus demanded holding his wand closer to Harry's neck. Hagrid was protesting, but Harry became more obedient.
"A-a grindylow was it?" Harry answered. Remus release him.
"What was that for?" Hagrid asked.
"We've been betrayed," Remus stated.
Meanwhile, Teddy was wiping of his clothes of the dirt, and discovered his arm was at least sprained, possibly broken. Hiding the injury, Teddy gave her a playful grin, even though he was serious. "Sorry! It was an accident!" Teddy hurried tiwards the house they were supposed to be in, discovering they were a few minutes early for their portkey.

George lay on the couch, his mother cleaning his ear hole. He had no clue what else was going on around him.
Sophie shook her head. "Quit messing around.. Mad-Eye's dead and your smiling!" she whispered before they went inside. When they'd found out they were early, she let out a sigh of relief. Now it was time to heal injurys. She was limping from smacking her foot on the ground hard enough. "Anything broken? We need to heal any injuries we have, so if there's anything your hiding you might want to tell me now before I grab an arm and see if it hurts."
Tonks and Ron were still being lectured. She'd been given snacks, and boy were they good. Heck, anything would taste good when you were starving. Ron was banging his head on the wall behind him. "Auntie Muriel, we do have to leave." Ron finally told her. She rolled her eyes and kept going on and on. It just wasn't fair!

And so they had to wait. It was killing Remus not knowing where his Dora was. Whether she was alive or dead. Whether she was injured or not. It was so hard waiting. Soon Kinsley and Hermione came, and Arthus and Fred. No sign of Tonks.
"Georgie, Georgie. Are you ok? How are you feeling?" Fred asked kneeling next to George on the couch. He better not die on him, or he'd kill him.
"I'm sorry, but you know me, I can't keep a frown on very long," Teddy pouted. When she asked if he was injured he laughed and peered at her with a smile still on his face, though it was only a small smile. "I'm fine, quit being so worrisome, or people might think yoir my mum." Ok all he had to do is turn off his pain receptors there. Like turning off his tickle sensors, that shouldn't be too hard right?

Tonks and Ron were finally released. They stepped outside and POP they appereated just inside the boundaries. They spotted Harry, Hermione.. Remus.. Tonks sped up and ran at her husband and threw her arms around his neck. "You're fine right? No scratches like we promised?" she had tears in her eyes. She was so glad, so glad to see him alive. Ron hugged Hermione, then Harry joined. Tonks looked back at them, "Ron was brilliant. I wouldn't be standing here if he hadn't used protego and stunned one of the Death Eaters.."
"I feel... Saint like." George said with a bit of a smile on his face.
"I know, but still, that wasn't funny." Sophie started to chuckle, it was quite a funny fall. They had flown quite far. "Please, I don't look older than you. I just have a much more mature attitude.." she shook her head. She shifted her weight on her foot, it was most deffinitly sprained. "I still think you should tell me if anything starts hurting... I think I sprained my ankle though.. I might be limping for a while.."

The instant he saw her, he could breathe again. He hugged her and sighed. He was so glad that she was ok, that she was unhurt. It felt like they had been apart for years and finally were reunited; that sort of refreshing feeling, it was great. "Yes," Remus said as he held onto her in a hug, her arms around his neck, "Yes, I'm just fine. No scratches. But... George... he's..." Now he felt bad that he wasn't able to complete his job and keep George safe. He should've lost the ear.
"What? Has it affected his head or something?" Fred asked worried. If George died, well he would be without his twin. He would loose half of himself, really. And now here was George going on about being saintlike. Was he seeing the angels? No, please don't let it be so.
"But wasn't that a great feeling, the adrenaline running away from the Death Eaters. Didn't you feel that thrill? That rush?" Teddy asked. It was quite a good feeling. Even if he knew... gosh, now didn't he feel bad... he was here feeling of good and... and Mad-Eye was dead. "Don't worry I will," Teddy said not allowing his face to show that he really was hurting. If she were to touch his arm, well he had a feeling that he would probably cringe a bit. Turning off pain sensors was harder than turning off his tickle sensors.

Tonks kept saying "Thank the lord." over and over. She was so happy. When they'd all been attacked she was sure one of them was going to die, but so far it seemed that none of them had. Although Bill and Fleur, Sophie and Teddy, as well as Mad-Eye and Dung weren't back yet. "What's happened to George?"
George smiled, "Saint-like. I'm holy. I'm hole-y, Fred. Get it?" he pointed at the spot where his ear should be. His own twin brother didn't get it, how sad could this be?
"I did, it was fun.. But terrifying all the same." Sophie breathed. She kept having to shift her weight, maybe it was broken. Ugh, either way it hurt so bad she was going to cry. "Ugh, I need to sit down.." She plopped down on the floor and groaned in pain. It was so hard to keep the pain at ease.

"He lost an ear. Snape's work," Remus said feeling terrible and yet happy. He was such a moron to let something like that happen. And someone had betrayed them... it just mattered on who it was. Sophie, Teddy, Tonks, Harry, Kingsley, Arthur, they had all really been checked, because the way Arthur reacted it would be hard to have someone impersonate him that well. They'd check him later. And since Metamorphagus powers couldn't be copied and Sophie was an Animagus coming there, and the potion couldn't copy that either. The fact that they were still missing six people was worrying. At least one of the portkeys had yet to arrive. Remus was thanking his few lucky stars Dora made it back ok.
"Snape's work?" Harry asked incredulously. Snape? He wanted to kill him even more.
"Sectumsempra was always his specialty," Remus said bitterly. He wanted to kill him even more.
"Holey? Out of all the ear related humor, you go for holey?" Fred said as a small smile sprouted on his face. At least he wasn't going crazy or seeing the angels.
"Here's the portkey, we have a little bit, I think," Teddy said giving a tin can to her, holding onto it, just in case, holding it with his good arm of course, "Be careful, ok?"

"Please tell me he's jokeing about it now..He wouldn't be George if he weren't already." Tonks said then whispered, "I keep eating a lot.. I think something is wrong with me.." She held her stomach but hiding it from everyone else just incase. But there was no way she could be.. was there?
"Cut me some slack, I passed out and it was the first thing that came to my mind." George smiled. He didn't even want to touch the spot at the moment, it would feel really weird to not feel his ear there.
"I don't think so.. because it's starting to glow.." Sophie said holding the can up. "You don't usually use that arm.. what's wrong with the other one? Hand. On. The. Can." she was a bit mad at him for lying to her about his arm, she hadn't lied about her foot.
