Title: Destruction
Author: abzurd
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Tonks, Remus
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 100 (not quite 1000 but I only needed 100!)
Challenges: Written for the Community Unity Challenge - War but got the first line from Challenge 39 so thought I would post it here, as well. There shouldn't be any spoilers for Book 6.


Tonks should have left. She knew it had been a mistake to wait so long but she’d been hoping the stolen information had been wrong. Bellatrix wouldn’t be caught dead spreading her brand of destruction in this part of town. Surely a playground…

But that had been where she was wrong. Now she surveys the damage, gripping her arm where it still burns from the barrage of curses she barely escaped. No children would be playing here tomorrow morning.

“Time to go.” Remus grips her shoulder, telling her that none of them blame her. It doesn’t matter. She blames herself.
