As the sun went down, the curses began to fly. The field they met on was illuminated with the bright lights of the hexes thrown. Lives were lost on both sides, and heroes were made.

Off in a corner Lisa Turpin battled with Draco Malfoy. Their fight had raged on for hours, and neither showed any signs of slowing down. In an effort to help his fiancé, Fred Weasley ran to Lisa's side and gave her a crooked grin. "Hello love."

"Hi honey," she said, smiling as they darted behind a large boulder. "Come to lend a hand? Or just to say hi?"

"Lend a hand," he remarked, kissing her cheek. "You go left; I'll take right, okay?"

"Okay. Don't forget, I won't be at work tomorrow."

"What for?" he asked his fiancé.

"Dress fitting, remember? Fred, I told you about this." She gave him an annoyed look.

"Okay, it's fine. Owl me when you're done and I'll take you out for a nice lunch." He squeezed her hand and turned around to see where Malfoy went. He saw the blond waiting for them to come out with an annoyed look on his face. Suddenly, Fred was pulled back by Lisa, who crashed her lips to his in a passionate, desperate kiss.

"Be careful," she whispered against his lips.

"Same goes for you," he said. They kissed swiftly again and smiled at each other before running out from the rock and bombarding Malfoy with an arsenal of hexes and curses. The young Malfoy couldn't take both of them at the same time and soon retreated into the forest.

The couple embraced and kissed, but it was all too soon. Just as Fred's arms wrapped around his love, a curse was shouted and Fred howled in pain. She screamed as he fell and frantically looked into the woods to see Malfoy with his wand raised, a smug look on his face. "Avada Kedavra!" she screamed without even thinking and watched the blond man fall before running to her fiancé. "Fred! Fred! Honey wake up, wake up!" He was covered in blood, but she cradled his head in her lap anyway. "Fred, please wake up!"

Slowly, the redhead opened his eyes and attempted a grin. "I love you, honey," he choked out. "Tell George that all my product notes are in the blue box under our bed. He'll need them."

Tears began to fall from her eyes and her voice shook. "Why should I? You'll be back at work in a few days." He started to shake his head and say something, but she shushed him. "Now hold still, I'm going to heal you."

"Don't sweetheart. I've lost too much blood." She sobbed and shook her head, but he kept talking. "I'm dying, honey. We both know it."

"No, Fred! No! You can't die! Out wedding is in two months! Please! Please don't die! I love you!" she wailed, pushing his hair out of his eyes.

"I love you too, Lisa," he said, smiling weakly. "You would've made a beautiful bride." She leaned down and kissed him lightly before his eyes closed and she felt the life leave his body.

She screamed and rocked her body, holding his lifeless form in her arms. Soon, her wails died down to sobs, which turned into numb tears as she sat there and waited to be found.
