Melodies of the Lyre

Chapter 33

It was now early May, Dumbledore's Army had gotten the alert to come to Hogwarts. Amber and Tim popped to Hogwarts. They met up with everyone in the Room of Requirement.

"Hey guys."

Amber turned to see Lee. "Hey."

"I heard you two got married last year," he said.

Tim wrapped his arm around his wife's waist as she said. "Yeah, we did."

Before Lee could respond someone came through the portrait. She didn't recognise him at first but it was Neville Longbottom.

Amber took her eyes of Fenrir for just a second and she was stunned. A Death Eater, stalked towards Amber and Tim ran towards him, trying to protect her though if she was able to he knew she could protect herself. He sent the Death Eater whirling back, picked her up, and carried her behind the nearest pile of rubble. The rubble shields the two of them as Tim held a piece of his cardigan against Amber's bleeding head. Amber winced as it presses into the gash, grabbing at his arm. He looked at her with a grimace on his face, turning her face with his other hand. Her breaths are heavy, and she is sweaty and covered with dirt. Her hair is disheveled, and her eyes are growing hazy.

"Ambie, c'mon! Keep your eyes open!" Tim yells at her, squeezing her cheeks a bit.

Amber's neck felt like rubber as she began to slip into unconsciousness. Tim's hands are now both around her face, trying to keep her steady.

"Amber, please don't fall asleep."

"Timmy," Amber muttered.

Amber woke up a while later in the hospital wing with Tim hovering over her.

"Oh my god, I thought I lost you..." His voice cracked. "You hit your head so hard, and I couldn't stop the bleeding. I thought...I thought you were gone." Tim began to sob.

"I'm okay, darling. I'm okay," Amber cried, assuring her worried husband.

Tim grinned.

"Mrs. Selwyn?" the matron asked.

"Yes, Madam Pomfrey?"

"It seems like you're expecting."

The couple gaped at the matron.

"Your pregnancy is about a month along, so I would stay here or go home."

Amber nodded.

"I'll come get you, when the battle ends, love," Tim assured her.

Amber nodded and apparated to her dad's house.

"Hey sweetie," her Aunt Andromeda greeted her.

She was thrown off for a second. She hadn't realised that her aunt would be here. A coo from the baby in her aunt's arms broke her out of her musings.

"This is Teddy, Dora's son."

Amber smiled. "He's beautiful."
