"You have to look at the situation from their perspective. Remus and
Tonks weren't running out for each other, they were fighting for
everything about their world that they believe in.
You have to understand, under Voldemort's rule, their child likely
wouldn't have lived long. The DE's made it clear that children of
'undesirables' were equally undesirable. The final battle was all or
nothing, and I think that Remus and Tonks knew that when they chose
to fight."


Hi, I am coming out of lurkdom for a bit since I really like Lupin
and Tonks. I am totally agreeing with leggrachel here. This was an
all or nothing battle. Both Remus and Tonks were fighting here for a
beter world, a beter world for their son.

"Except that Tonks never, not once, not one single time, says a
single word about "the cause". From the minute she arrives at
Hogwarts, she asks one thing only "Where's Remus?"
Lupin himself tells Harry, in the Forest, that he is happy to have
tried to make the world a better place for his son, but Tonks NEVER
verbally expressed interest in the safety of anyone but Remus Lupin."


I don't want to sound melodramatic here, but we have seen in the
books how emotional Tonks can be, even though she is an Auror. I
have seen this before in books, that when a situation becomes so
overwhelming, people focus on one smaller thing. If Tonks was so
overwhelmed by everything (although that seems a bit OC if you think
she is an Auror), that she kept order by focussing on the well-being
of her husband. And I am not just talking about the final battle,
but all the other stuff that happened.

And about Lupins reaction and wanting to go with Harry and Co...
Wouldn't it be possible that Lupin, after finding someone to love, a
marriage enz, was somewhat floating around on pink cloud and looking
at the world trough pink glasses, but came crashing back to Earth
and suddenly oversaw all the consequences? He got scared and ran...
I thought Harry a bit ruff, but he did manage to give Lupin a kick
on the back of his pants and set him on the right pad.

This episode doesn't detract from Lupins braveness or any good
qualities he has. He is a good person, but but was overwhelmed with
all that was happening and the consequences of that.
