This is a one-shot on the last moments of Remus and Tonks.

Genre - Romance

Until Death Do We Part

'Remus? REMUS?'.

Remus turned - that was Dora's voice. Dora, his beloved Dora - what was she doing here?

'Dora, go home!' Remus cried, using a shield charm to block a curse Dolohov had just sent at him.

'No, Remus! We're fighting for Teddy, both of us. You're his Dad, and I'm his Mum - and we always will be, alright? We'd die for our little boy, we agreed on that. And you AREN'T dying alone!' Tonks said, running up.

'Hopefully I'm not dying at all,' Remus said, swiftly knocking out Dolohov and pulling his wife into a small broom cupboard.

'Well, that would be preferable. But if you go, I go. Until death do we part,' Tonks replied, smiling.

Lupin stared into the understanding teal eyes of the woman he loved, the woman he had married, the woman who had given him a son.

'I love you, Dora' he whispered.

'I love you too, Wolfie,' she smiled back. 'But we can't stay here forever - Bellatrix was following me as I came to find you'.

Remus nodded.

'What about Teddy?' he asked.

'I think I've told everyone this a thousand times - he'll be safe with Mum. She'll look after him. And if we don't make it out alive, she'll make sure Teddy always remembers us, and why we died...she promised me that,' Tonks said, smiling sadly. 'I've brought a picture with me, and left him the letter'.

'The one for him to open the night before he goes to Hogwarts the first time?' Remus asked. He got a playful whack over the head.

'No, the letter he's meant to open when he marries Minerva McGonagall - of course, the one he's meant to open the night before his first Hogwarts year!' Tonks laughed, grinning.

'Well, doesn't look like there's much time left, Mrs Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin,' Remus said, smiling sadly.

'Usually, I'd tell you not to call me Nymphadora, Mr Remus John Lupin-Tonks. But I suppose I can make an exception for the man I adore,' Tonks replied.

Remus took her hands.

'Shall we do what we agreed to do?' he asked. Tonks nodded, and they both took out there wands, and rested the tips against each other.

'In the name of Teddy Remus Lupin, our son,' they both said together. 'We solemnly swear that we are up to no good'.

What looked like silver ribbon erupted from the wand tips, and tied them together, before loosening them again.

'For richer or poorer, husband,' Tonks said, taking Remus' hand and squeezing it gently.

'In sickness or in health, wife,' Remus replied, kissing her softly.

'For the rest of our lives,' they both said together, and left the cupboard hand in hand.

Two cries of Avada Kedavra would have been the last thing the couple ever heard, had they not spoken at the very last moment.

'Until death do we part.'

So, I really hoped you liked it! I was feeling down about them dying so I decided to write what I thought was a sweet little One-Shot about their last moments. Sorry if it's horrible, but I needed something to do instead of wailing about their deaths, and this was the first thing that cartwheeled into my crayzee mind .

One Very Interesting Conversation

Teddy was sitting alone in the dark garden, pulling out pieces of grass with his hands. Life wasn't fair. Why weren't his parents there, why couldn't they be there?

'We are here, Teddy'.

Teddy turned around sharply, his eyes widening at the sight that greeted his eyes. His parents. His mother, with vivid pink hair tickling her chin, and his tall, pale father, looking young and handsome.

'Wotcher, Teddy..' whispered Tonks, tears filling her eyes. 'Long time, no see, eh?'.

Teddy didn't answer, he ran right into their open arms, almost knocking them both to the ground as he sobbed in their embrace. He could feel his mother crying too, and his father's tears falling onto his head.

As he calmed down, his parents - his parents! - led him over to the garden bench, Tonks ruffling his hair and Remus gazing into his amber eyes.

'How?' Teddy whispered. 'How are you here?'.

'Love, Teddy Bear,' Remus murmured, stroking his son's turquoise hair fondly. 'We love you so much, that somehow, some way, we could come down and spend this one, special night with you. But in the morning, we'll be gone...so please, make the most of it'.

Teddy's mother did not talk, merely gazed at her son with a mixture of awe, love and pure emotion on her face.

They all had plenty to catch up on, and their conversation resembled that of long-lost family members...which, in truth, was what they were.

'So, what's your favourite Quidditch team?' asked Tonks, laughing. Teddy looked thoughtful.

'That'll have to be the Tutshill Tornadoes,' he said. Remus chuckled, ruffling turquoise hair once more.

'You traitor! Your mother and I have always been Pride of Portree!' he laughed, as Tonks stuck her tongue out, giggling.

'What about hair colour?' she asked eagerly. 'Come on, you must have a fave!'. She was practically bouncing out of her seat in excitement.

'Turquoise, definitely!' Teddy asked, feeling comfortable and happy.

This was peace.

Thanks! I'm glad you all like it, so I'll update some more.

Last Chapter - Settling Down

Things would never be perfect, but they were definitely looking up.

Teddy couldn't help but stare at Victoire. She looked ravishing, with strawberry blonde curls dancing around her shoulders, the long white dress she wore adorned with golden roses. Bill Weasley was unable to take his eyes off the radiant young woman.

As they neared the front of the marquee, Bill kissed his daughter on the forehead, before turning to Teddy.

'Take care of her,' he said with a smile, before going back to sit down. Jaden Callisto nudged Teddy, mouthing "Lucky man!" with a grin. Teddy nodded, gazing deep into Victoire's eyes.

A small, round man stood in front of the small table where flowers were set up everywhere. A two year old stumbled clumsily up the aisle, a cushion and two rings in his hands. Remus had obviously inherited his grandmother's clumsiness. And then came the graceful little girl, four year old Dora, pelting flowers at everyone.

Teddy glanced at his frail, elderly grandmother, who was cuddling her great grandson, six month old Sirius, named after Teddy's mother's second cousin, Sirius Black.

And then, Teddy's gaze shifted to the small picture frame placed on the table...Remus and Tonks' wedding photo. Tonks, with her bubblegum pink, shoulder length hair, and Remus gazing down at the young woman, as though awed that he had found love. They were dancing, laughing, smiling, waving. Just like Teddy and Victoire.

'...then I declare you bonded for life,' announced the small man. There was a lot of sniffing and crying in the marquee on that sunny July day....twenty five years exactly since Remus and Tonks were married.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remus held Tonks close as she sobbed tears of joy into his jacket, stroking her hair fondly.

'Our Teddy,' he whispered. 'All grown up. His life's perfect'.

But Teddy didn't agree. People still had to die. There were still fights and wars. But there was also love, and life.

Things would never be perfect, but they were definitely looking up.

And so ends "In The Name of Teddy Lupin" !!!! I hope you've all enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it, and now may be the time to refer you to my other ficcies, available in the Life After Deathly Hallows section!
