Friendship on Fire | Fred & George Weasley

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.
