Post by Theodore "Teddy" Lupin on Mar 25, 2012 21:34:24 GMT -5
Teddy continued firing, then saw Sophie dash out and begin attacking their attackers. Teddy would have sighed in relief, but he was too busy dueling a Death Eater and dodging stray spells to be able to do. He was beginning to freak out, but nothing compared to what he did next.
After successfully stunning a Death Eater, they fell over the nearby stair railing, and fell down the steps. Teddy's eyes widened as it happened. Sure he had killed rabbits and animals in the forest for food, but not really any human, even if he had been in the battles. He had just stunned, never killed. Teddy tried not to focus on it, but his eyes were wide in horror of it. That Death Eater probably had family, and he had just took a part of that family away. Teddy continued to dodge the spells, but he didn't fire as many spells as he did before.
Finally Teddy snapped out of it. Sure he had just done something he would regret later, but right now he had to protect those he cared about from a fate similar to that. He couldn't let his parents nor Sophie to die. Teddy began his pace he had kept up before, firing spells at a new Death Eater who had just trailed up the stairs. Below was a brouhaha, up here was a brouhaha, everywhere was chaos. He couldn't think, he just had to do.

Tonks didn't have time to see if everyone else was okay, the Death Eater was fireing of spells at a mile a minute. One of the spots on the roof above her fell and a small piece hit her in the back of the head. She rubbed it and fired off three more stunning spells, this one guy wasn't falling. That's when Tonks saw her, out of the corner of her eye, she saw her aunt. Bellatrix Lestrange. She didn't have time to worry about that woman. She called out to anyone that was near her that was from the Order, "Watch my back!"

Remus tore himself from the Death Eater he was fighting by landing a stun on the Death Eater. Remus turned towards Tonks who was going for Bellatrix. No, no, no, no. Please not her. Anyone but her. Remus quickly covered Tonks' back, knowing she'd need it, and he was ready to take any spell that was going to hit Tonks, if he could help it. Remus kept firing various curses towards those Death Eaters nearby.
Remus' breathe was ragged, as his adrenaline was pumping. Sure he was scared. Sure he wanted to run and never go back, but he knew he needed to stay and protect those he loved, which, as he admitted to himself for the first time in awhile, included Tonks.
((PS: This is a time when slight god mod of the characters not played can take place, such as you can say that Bellatrix said something or the other))

((Lol kk))
Tonks faced he aunt sneering. She shot off a stunning spell that Bellatrix blocked.
"Oh-ho, seems like someone actually isn't trying. And what's that behind you? A guard dog?" Bellatrix taunted.
"If he were a guard dog then he wouldn't be covering my back!" Tonks said blocking one of Bella's curses.
The two did this back and forth for a while. Till Tonks after blocking, hit the ceiling with a spell so Bellatrix would hopefully get hit. She didn't.. which was a bummer. And the back and forth resumed. She said to Lupin, "Didn't think you wanted to cover my back, figured Sophie or Teddy would."

Guard dog? Him? It made him slightly upset at that comparison, though he didn't feel it wasn't untrue from the way he was acting. He didn't want to be a guard dog, just someone who looked out for her. Remus hated the taunting of Bellatrix. If she said anything about Sirius... Remus would keep to guarding Tonks' back, yeah, that's it. Remus tried to keep himself as calm as possible. Remus was able to curse a Death Eater with a Bat-Boogey Hex, which had just popped into his head since Ginny was teaching the Grimmauld Place residents it over the Christmas Break so long ago.
"I know," Remus said back firing a few more spells before talking, "But... I love you Tonks." Oh dear god, he said it, but her hearing it again surprisingly didn't bug him, it was the fact Bellatrix did that scared him.

Tonks felt the lump form in her throat again for the third time that week. She fired another curse at Bellatrix who blocked it and shot the cruciartis curse at Tonks, patted Remus saying, "I love you too, but duck... Now!" She covered her head and dropped, waiting to hear the scream from Remus, unless he'd done what she'd said.
"Maybe the werewolf will die just like his pal." Bellatrix cackled, "Or maybe my cousin's best friend needs to lose more than he bargined for." she kept laughing, which gave Tonks a chance to fire a stunning spell that actually hit Bella.
Then she said again to Lupin, "But you're going to give your your whole lecture again aren't you?"

Remus ducked hearing the words that she loved him too. He felt bad slightly for saying it, but in the end he felt no regret in it. Remus didn't know what to say. When Bella said that Remus might loose more than what he bargained for, he almost turned around to use an unforgivable curse, which would kill her, on Bellatrix. But before he could Tonks had hit her with a stunning spell. Remus was afraid someone would unstun her, but right now that was the farthest from his mind.
"Maybe... but later," Remus said breathing heavily turning towards her, before realizing his mistake. At that moment he grabbed Tonks and flew to the ground, dodging a spell from behind their back. Remus knew it was coming mostly because it was a battle and it would come anyways. "Come on," Remus said pulling her back up, "Sorry about that."

Tonks had uncovered her head, then recovered it when he'd pulled her down. She chuckled at herself, she knew it had to've been coming. Then when she got back up she hugged him and then hexed the big blond death eater, that time it worked. Then she looked around to find Sophie and Teddy, hopefully they were okay too.
"Figures, I'll be angry by then too." she rolled her eyes, "I'm coming, I'm coming. It's okay, probably would've killed one of us if you hadn't pulled me down."

It was no more of the finally admitting for the first time in a long time that he really was in love, no matter what he had done previously. It was time for the battle once more. While he preferred not to kill, he would kill if he had to. Remus shot a few curses around, including the stunning curse, but he had yet to bring himself to the killing curse, which he knew he would have to do before the end of the night. "Should've warned you," Remus muttered. He turned his wand onto a large death eater with light brown hair, almost the same shade as his hair, and began firing upon the Death Eater.
What in the world was their goal? What did they expect from attacking Hogwarts now? There was nothing to gain from this. Dumbledore was gone, sure, but the Order could fend of these Death Eaters and there would be no gain from it, besides maybe a few deaths.

"It's okay, just gotta stay alive now." Tonks said firing off several more curses. She looked around. She now fully saw who all was there, Ginny, Luna, Neville, Bill, Ron, Herminoe, McGongall, and of course Remus, Sophie, Teddy and herself. If they could just keep everyone alive, wait add another one to the list, Flitwick was there too. Still had to keep them all alive. "Why don't you go help Bill and I'll keep fighting big and blond over here?"
She just kept firing off curses, she had to get this one Death Eater down, even if it was the only thing she did that night.

"Will do," Remus replied though he didn't want to go away from Tonks. But Bill wasn't too far, so he could come to help her if things became bad over there. A thought occurred to him, where was Snape? He wasn't here that he could see, and Flitwick was having a meeting with Snape when this all began, so Severus obviously had the word.
Remus dashed over to the nearby Weasley, spotting who he was fighting. Greyback. Remus began fighting him, after of course Greyback kept taunting him about being a traitor to all of the werewolf kind and all that nonsense, but at the same time Remus almost believed it.

Tonks fought the blond Death Eater till she got dizzy from spinning about trying to get more than one of them at the time. She looked around again, kind of sad that she'd asked Remus to help Bill, but Bill kind of needed it, he looked tired. Then again, Fleur was no where in sight at the moment which meant she wasn't going to be helping her fiance any time soon. She dodged a stunning spell that was just about an inch away from her stomach. A cramp had formed on the side of her stomach and she asked, "Can't a woman catch a break when mother nature wants to step in?" to no one in particular.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Bellatrix get unstunned and stand back up. She sent the cruciartus curse at the blond one and turned most of her attention on her aunt.

Remus kept his eye on Tonks who was back to fighting her aunt. Remus slowly backed up, slightly closer to Tonks, as Bill had been behind him. He would feel bad if Bill got hurt if he went to take a curse for Tonks, but if he didn't go for Tonks he wouldn't forgive himself ever in the whole time he would ever be alive. He knew his top priority should be Bill and fighting off the werewolf.
Was he a traitor to the werewolves? Should he have just joined the pack and stay with them forever. Sure, it might mean he would have to join Voldemort, or at least stay out of the war (which he would do if he could and if he had to join Voldemort he would rather die). Remus didn't know what to do. Was he truly pretending to fit in with everyone. They all seemed to hate him, besides a few people. Heck even in the Order he could tell some were uncomfortable with a werewolf. Remus sent a few spells Greyback's way, but he simply dodged them.

Sophie was in shock with herself, she'd killed someone, actually killed someone. She looked for her brother, but he was fighting and she didn't want to disturb him. She looked at her mother, she was fighting two people. Her father, helping Bill. She wanted to scream but she couldn't she had to dodge three more spells aimed at her. Finally, she decided she was going to go to her father.
Sprinting and dodging she caught up and sent the jelly-legs jinx at Greyback. She looked at Remus Lupin with a terrified look on her face. "I-I.." she started.

Remus turned for a second seeing Sophie nearby, talking to him. She was scared, she was young, he understood. After shooting a few spells at Greyback he turned to Sophie for a second. "It's ok, it's going to be ok," Remus said firing a few more spells, which Greyback blocked, even if his legs were Jelly, "Just stay calm, we'll finish these Death Eaters off soon. If not, they'll collapse from exhaustion. I promise I won't let them hurt you, Teddy, Tonks, or anyone I can protect."
He really meant it. He would die protecting them if that was what it took. At least then he would have died saving one he loved, and not as just a rabid werewolf. That was the difference between him and Greyback. He cared about many non-werewolves, and would protect them from anything he could have control over. Greyback was still getting to him.
"Oh a little girly," Greyback laughed, "Too bad it isn't full moon, I can't change you, but I sure can rip your throats out." Greyback lunged towards Sophie, to where Remus stood in the way, getting bit himself, cursing Greyback off. He didn't draw blood thankfully. "Be careful, Sophie," Remus warned rubbing the indention Greyback had made. Bill was firing at Greyback still, too focused to call Remus over, but it wasn't necessary, Remus hurried and began helping Bill out again.
