The day had finally come. The Battle of Hogwarts. Death Eaters were seen fighting the staff and students around every corner. You entered the great hall, and you felt your heart break at the sight.

Classmates. Teachers. Friends. All either injured or dead.

You searched for Remus and Tonks. You knew what you had to do.

As you searched among the faces, your eyes finally landed on them, and you immediately ran over to them and into their arms.

"(Y/N), thank goodness you're alright," Tonks breathed, holding you tightly.

"We were so worried," Remus choked.

"I'm okay, you guys." You paused and looked at them.

"What's the matter?" Tonks asked, searching your face for an answer.

You took in a breath. "I have to face him."

They both looked extremely puzzled.

"I have to go to the forbidden forest and face Lord Voldemort."

"(Y/N), you will not! We've lost enough in this war, we aren't losing you too!" Remus shouted, his eyebrows furrowing in anger.

You were about to speak, but a loud cry caused you to turn your head.

Across the room, you saw Mrs. Weasley leaning over a body. You ran over to her.

When you saw why she was crying, all the color drained from your face.

Your boyfriend of nearly 4 years, Fred Weasley, lied there on the floor as stiff as a corpse with a bloody gash on his cheek.

You brought your hand up to your mouth as tears began welling up in your eyes.

"Mrs. Weasley... He isn't... Please tell me he isn't," you sobbed, getting down on your knees next to her.

"I'm so sorry, (Y/N)," she cried, taking your hand in hers.

You felt sick looking down at his lifeless figure. Memories of the two of you rushed into your mind like a tsunami. You thought of when you first met him on the train; you became a victim of one of his pranks by accident. The moment your eyes met, you both felt a spark.

You'd never be able to gaze into his eyes again.

Everyone thought he was dead. But, no one could see his chest ever so slightly rise and fall. His breathing was faint and so was his heartbeat. He was trapped in his head. His limbs felt like they weighed tons. He wanted desperately to tell you he was alive, but he couldn't move.

You leaned down, placed a gentle kiss on his lips, your lips trembling as you did, and stood up.

Anger and sadness took over your entire being. You began to make your way to the exit, not stopping for anything, until someone grabbed your arm.

"(Y/N), don't. Please..." Remus begged, holding onto you tightly.

"People are dying! My friends! My teachers! Fred!" Your voice cracked as you said his name. You looked away from him.

"I can't let any more people die," you whimpered.

Remus stared at you with a sad and scared look. Then, he slowly let go of your arm and wrapped you in a hug.

"Come back alive... Please." He held you close to him. You buried your face, crying into his shoulder.

You pulled back from the hug and wiped away your tears. "I'll try." And with that, you left the Great Hall.
