Heartless

"Get out of the way! Where is she?!?"

"Over there sir...."

"Good, get out, I want to talk to her." He walks up to the bed as he says; "Rachel! That bloody wherewolf bit you. HE WILL PAY!!!"

*********************************************************************

Remus Lupin woke up suddenly. He ran down the stairs in a frenzy.

"Sirius, Sirius! I've got it!"

"Calm down Moony, what have you got?"

"I know how to stop him!" Remus replied.

"Stop who? And how?" Sirius asked looking confused.

"We can stop Voldemort, if we find her." Remus answered, running upstairs.

"Which her are you talking about Moony?" Sirius yelled up the stairs. "I think you've forgotten old pal, that over half the people in the world could be called 'her'." Sirius gave up and muttered, "Sometimes I worry about him..." And he sat down and finished his breakfast

A few hours later Remus came downstairs again, only this time he was fully dressed and alot calmer.

"Sirius?" Remus asked as he sat down in the chair next to Sirius. "What makes Voldemort so hard to beat?"

"He's powerful..." Sirius replied. "But really Moony, what does that have to do with anything?"

"Just listen, what makes Voldemort so evil?"

Sirius raised his eyebrows.

"Are you feeling alright there buddy?"

"Yes , yes, I'm fine. Now answer the question."

Well I guess it's because he stops at nothing to get his way! He's heartless!"

"exactly!!" Remus exclaimed. What if we could find something that he would stop at?"

"And where are 'we' to find such a thing?" Sirius laughed.

"Remember Rachel from school?" Asked Remus. Sirius stopped laughing and started thinking. (Weird huh?)

"you mean that Slytherin girl you asked out and then bit her?" Sirius answered.

Yeah, her" Remus said ashamedly. "The day after I bit her I remember Voldemort coming in and yelling at everyone and everything. But when he stopped at Rachel's bed he started crying and saying that he loved her and would never hurt her. He also said that the bloody wherewolf would pay. Then he stormed out again. I totally forgot about it untill last night!"

"Woah, woah, woah!" Sirius breathed. "I'm confused. Are you implying that You-know-who fell in love? Not to mention with a girl nearly forty years younger?!?"

"Not neccesarily" said Remus. "There are other kinds of love isnn't there? Like the love a brother feels for his sister......"

"Siblings forty years apart?!? That's unlikley." Sirius interupted.

"...Or the love a father feels for his daughter...after all her name was Rachel Riddle, and Harry figured out that Tom Riddle and Voldemort are the same person. So it could very well be the story."

"ok, All we have to do is find her. Right?" Sirius replied.
