Sophie looked at her hands, thinking herself filthy. Her birth parents had threatened her with killing her once, but they'd killed one person before. How could they not feel so..so... ick. "But I-I killed someone." She kept her eyes on her hands and wand. It wasn't her, she didn't kill but she did it to protect her brother, so it was okay right?
When Greyback had launched at her she'd falled back. Her eyes were still wide but and she couldn't move from the terror. "Uh-huh, you stay safe too." she got out. She picked up her wand again and breathed heavy, Teddy! she thought, even more terror rushing though her. She stood back up cursing Greyback with the cruciartius curse and ran back to her brother. Stunning and burning people along the way.

Teddy's mind was still racing with the thought he actually killed a person. He knew it was for the better, but he still was slightly scarred from it, emotionally scarred not physically. "Sophie," Teddy said rushing towards the girl who was running towards him. It wasn't everyday one killed a man or woman. Even if he was very prepared he wasn't prepared for this. He had seen combat before in various battles. He saw many people die before him, but he never killed someone personally.
He knew that killing a person was a bad thing in the long run, and it definitely affected Teddy. He wasn't sure what to say to Sophie, but he was in the moment, and was firing curses at various Death Eaters all around, making sure not to hit anyone one their side.

Sophie looked at her brother, they both felt the same she could see it in his eyes. "We.. did we? I feel so... filthy.." She couldn't do anything when she thought about it and her arm was pretty much moving it's self but she was casting the spells. "Teddy, I killed a woman.. She wasn't even begging for mercy she told me to do it.. and.. and I did." She cried into her hands. She held her wand quite tightly, even if she was in horror at what she'd done, she was still gripping on to it.

Teddy quickly cast a shielding charm to block an incoming spell, Teddy ducked from one of the spells before answering Sophie. "I know Sophie, it is to protect those we love. Think, if you let her live she could have killed mum and dad, and you and I," Teddy replied trying rationalize killing someone. He didn't want to think what they had changed by killing the people they did, but they had to be focused or Mum or Dad could die, and that would mean Sophie would grow up with her terrible birth parents, and he would never exist. He didn't care about him not existing, but he did not want to leave Sophie with parents like her birth parents.
"I feel filthy too, but keep in mind it's for those we love, we have to keep fighting," Teddy said fiercely firing several more spells, none hitting anyone. He had to focus. He couldn't afford to miss, not with them seeming to multiply as they fought them off. It was then he realized they were fighting their way up here. And Teddy remembered why. "They're almost back." He made sure his last statement could only be heard by Sophie.

Sophie nodded to what her brother said, she still felt terrible though. She swallowed and held back more tears which didn't help at all. Then a spell shot right over head head and brought her back to Earth, "Okay I'm good!" she squeaked. She didn't want to kill anymore people so she just stuck to jinxes and hexes.
"Right, keep fighting, don't kill, just jinx and hex." she said to herself. She was being pushed back by the flow of people. "Teddy, did you catch mum and dad's moment earlier?" she asked, she had to know if he'd noticed it at least. There were so many of them, then Teddy told her why, "It can't be that time yet, we have to get away from the stairs! And we can't apperate in here, we have to clear a hole."

There would a time and place to think back to know. All of the regret had to be saved for later, right now they had to stay focused, which Teddy had a hard time trying to do. They were so close to the steps that if he stunned a Death Eater well enough they might fall of the side. But he couldn't do anything to stop it without endangering himself, Sophie, their parents and everyone else. The only two people he knew he shouldn't help is Dumbledore and Bill. Bill because it was one of the things that brought his parents together... he thought, and Dumbledore because he wanted to die then.
"Yeah, glad to see that they aren't at least fighting each other right now," Teddy replied with a smile almost, but only a small one given the volume of Death Eaters coming up followed by the person they were duelling. It should happen soon. "Don't worry Sophie, when they all make a dash for the stairs we'll make sure not to get in their way. We can't dessert mum and dad right now."

Sophie ducked around a jinx and shot a quick counter back. She was terrified! They were increasing even more rapidly. Some were dead, some were maimed or beat up. It was like an apocalypse! She breathing increased and she wanted to just get this night over with so everything would be okay with her parents would be together and everything would be okay. Well... except for the fact that Dumbledore would be dead by the end of the night. She knew who she couldn't blame and that the killer was doing it out of favor not hatred. Sadly, she could only talk to Teddy about it.
"If they hadn't had that moment I don't think mum would have stayed long enough to hear Fleur's speech." Sophie squeaked. She shot three more spells at Death Eaters. "Right, because if we do, you go poof and I end up tortured."

Teddy fell to the floor on purpose to barely dodge a killing curse, but it came at a cost, as he was hit with a Crucio, to where he writhed in pain for a about half a second, before struggling up, not being put under it again because an Order member cursed the one who attacking Teddy. He took a deep breathe before firing some more curses and stumbling ever so slightly. The curse had made him weak.
"I bet so, glad we didn't interrupt it," Teddy said trying to smile again at the little happiness they could find in such a battle. He wasn't overwhelmed by the battle, just the killing. Teddy had been in several 'battles' and seen others kill others, just not him inflicting death upon anyone else. "Don't worry, we'll make sure they get through it."

Sophie was now panicing, she'd just barely dodged a curse shot at her. If she was provoked she probably wouldn't feel too bad about killing one right then but not when she was just trying to stay alive! She screamed when her brother had been hit. She grabbed onto his elbow to help him up, now that kind of got her mad. She glared at some of the Death Eaters and shot the cruciartus and one imperius curse into the crowd. Hopefully she could kill some of them off that way but it was weird for her to tell someone they were going to kill their own friends.
"Teddy, get up, please. Come on, it's only a little bit of pain right?" Sophie chuckled trying to lighten things up, "If we had, who knows what would've happened."

A bit of pain? Yeah right, it was more like the most pain in the world he had ever experienced. Teddy was still weak from it, and was slightly stumbling on his feet, but made sure that he stayed on his feet. He wouldn't tell her how much it really hurt him or she might insist him sit out, which no matter how much she asked, he wouldn't allow it, seeing as this was one of the most important battles. Tonks was dueling Bellatrix, with Remus nearby battling Greyback who almost managed to land a bite on Bill, which Teddy knew would happen soon.
"Yeah, it's not bad," Teddy lied, before he fired a few spells, though not too fast as to hurt himself again. It wasn't just the curse, but the jumping to the ground hurt as well, he wouldn't be surprised if he had several bruises. "God does," Teddy replied wincing only slightly the pain in his body, though he admired her for lightening the mood in such a chaotic situation, "Keep an eye on mum, I'll keep an eye on dad. Just focus on keeping yourself and our parents alive. That's all."

Sophie looked at her brother out of the corner of her eye. He looked like she did when she'd finally gotten away from her torture box. Still giving him support by the elbow, she used her wand to cast spells in every direction that she could see a Death Eater.
"Teddy, they just keep heading this way. How much time do we have left?" she asked dodging the imperious curse. "If we're going to keep an eye on them, shouldn't we get away from this bunch? We'll be killed if we keep standing here."

It was in that instant an hoard of Death Eaters rushed at them firing curses, as Teddy pulled Sophie to the side and made sure she was safe from them. A large powerful shield was placed on the stairs that headed close to the Astronomy Tower. Teddy turned towards Sophie with knowing. "I would say it's going to happen in the next few minutes," Teddy whispered and looked around to find their parents. They were still fine, and Bill was too. He must have been attacked and bitten by Greyback after Dumbledore's death.
Teddy watched as several people tried to break through the barrier, and could almost swear he could hear Bellatrix's cackling going up some stairs behind the barrier. Teddy knew all attempts would be futile and soon those on their side of the barrier realized it too and just waited in anticipation, suspicious of what was going on behind them thinking they might attack from behind. Teddy could swear that most of the Death Eaters were reinforcing the barrier with a steady beam to keep it up until the right moment.

Sophie was still holding on to her brother when he had pulled her to the side. She'd been cut by a curse that had been cast in her way just along her arm. She clutched it with her wand hand and refused to let out a wail of pain, that one little curse really hurt. "Then we have to get Bill mutilated, and everything the way it should be!" Sophie choked, her voice cracked as well.
Sophie could hear the thudding footsteps going up the stairs, it was so loud. She saw there were still a few stragalers but those they could deal with. "Teddy, this is going to end fast.. Just be ready for when everyone tries to break through." she kept holding her arm, refusing to admit it was bleeding.

"I know, I know," Teddy said almost worried looking at the shield charm the Death Eaters had erected. He didn't like the idea of making sure someone got hurt, but it was for the better. Remus, Tonks, and Sophie all had something to gain, but he still didn't like the idea of knowing Bill would get hurt and not prevent it, almost like he knew these were the last few minutes of Dumbledore's life, and he knew he couldn't do anything.
"A-are you ok?" Teddy said looking at her clutching her arm, ready with a few healing spells. He knew that there were a few stragglers they could easily deal with, but right now his main focus wasn't Tonks and Remus getting together, but rather Sophie and protecting his baby sister.

Sophie closed her eyes trying not to think about her arm. She pulled her hand away and peeked at it with one eye. It had some blood on it, not as much as she'd thought there would be but there still was a lot. "Come on, we have to do this.. Cover me for a bit okay? I need about ten minutes to calm myself down fully."
"I'm fine, just a bit shaken. Plus my arm is in horrible pain right now, but I'll be fine." Sophie nodded. She gave her brother a shakey smile and sat on her knees. She winced when she touched her arm, "Actually, could you look at it and tell me how bad it looks?"
