Author's Note: Here is an edited version of an older fic I wrote in the past... enjoy.

Those you've known
And lost, still walk behind you
All alone
They linger till they find you

Without them
The world grows dark around you
And nothing is the same until you know that they have found you

"Where am I?"

That's what a less shabbier and younger looking Remus Lupin said. All of a sudden, he was not at Hogwarts. There were no unforgivables being casted and no cries or screams that Remus heard throughout the castle. No more deaths. All that he saw was a field where he was alone. There were no Death Eaters...no more of anyone.

There was silence. And the stillness frightened Remus a bit. "Tonks?" He turned around and saw a younger Tonks. "What is going on?"

And then he saw Ted Tonks, Nymphadora's father.

"Come here 'Dora," Ted said to his daughter. Tonks didn't say anything to her husband. Were they still married? Remus thought.

Tonks waved at Remus and followed her father. "I'll see you soon," is all that she said. All of a sudden this light appeared ahead of them. The younger woman followed her father into the light. He was alone again. He wanted to follow them and go into the light to see what was going on but it vanished.

Remus thought his eyes were fooling him but then he saw his mother, Diana Lupin walking over towards him. The light appeared again. She said nothing, only putting an arm around him and walked him towards the light.

"Mum. Where am I?" Remus asked, as he hugged her. The brightness vanished. He still couldn't believe he was with her.

"You're home," said Diana. Remus had no idea what she was talking about. She looked younger than Remus remembered her. She had this glow to her. She looked beautiful. He was now walking up to a small nice cottage.

"What is this place?"

"You're in the afterlife." she paused. "Heaven."

The two of them were now inside the cottage's kitchen sitting at the round table. Remus had so many questions now but he was speechless and was only able to say--

"I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too Remus," she hugged him. "I'm sorry you went through so much after I died. It was sad to watch your way of grieving."

"Oh mum I--wait a minute. You saw…"

"We can look over the people we love from here," Diana explained.

"How much did you see?" Remus asked, feeling embarrassed. There are some things that a mum shouldn't see.

She grinned. "I know what you're thinking about. I knew when the right time was to look. I accepted the relationship between you and Sirius. First I was taken a bit aback. You could ask Athena. I was so upset at first that I wouldn't have grandchildren but then I saw how much the two of you loved each other. Whatever made you happy made me happy." she stopped for a minute to stare at him. "Tonks...she was a bit of a surprise. I wasn't expecting that."

"Yeah same here."

She smiled at her son and continued, "You must have some questions about this place, I would be surprised if you didn't."

"You're younger," he said bluntly.

"Yes. I am glad you noticed that, " Diana responded. "When you come here, here meaning the afterlife it makes you have the appearance at a time in your life that you had so much joy. I looked like this when Rachel was born and you were two years old and we were all one big happy family. My marriage was great and I had the best two kids a mother could have. It was when we... were all happy."

"I heard from someone that John..." Remus didn't refer to his father as "Dad" or anything of that sort. "He was killed. I don't know by whom."

"Really," she said. "I have no tears or sadness for him. He will not come here. There is a place for people like him who did stuff like that to his family." her voice was so bitter. "What happened to Romulus?"

"He's still alive but everyone he was friends with was killed." Remus told her the fate of his cousin.

"Deserves it," she said. "Athena, a friend who you met when you were very young and Aphrodite are here too. They live close by. Life is so much more peaceful here."

"I can't believe I made it to heaven," Remus said honestly. "I never thought about it if there was or not (this place). I didn't think I would be allowed to be here. Being a werewolf and a bisexual one no less."

"You shouldn't have been thinking like that. You were a good person in your life," Diana hugged her son.

"Am I still--" Remus asked but was cut off by Diana.

"I have no clue about that." she paused and continued. "Never met a werewolf here."

"Do you know how proud I am of you? I know I wasn't there from the age of 16 on so I wanted you to know that. I also love my new grandchild." right after she said that she realized that it wasn't the best thing to say.

Remus eyes were watering at the thought of Teddy. "My baby boy," Remus exclaimed. "He'll never know! He'll never know!" He started to cry hysterically and kept saying things. Cried so much in a short period of time and made up for years the lack of emotion. Now his mother was holding him in her arms and trying to calm him down. It was almost comforting and something he has wanted for years. It felt right. He eventually left her arms and wiped his eyes. "Sorry."

"What's there to be sorry about?"

"I've never did that before: been that emotional in front of anyone before. Except for--"

"Sirius," she finished. "Speaking of him, you should go outside. That might cheer you up."

He took her advice and followed the doors that led to a big and green yard. There was a small patio where Remus saw--

"James! Lily! Sirius!"

Those you've known
And lost, still walk behind you
All alone
Their song still seems to find you

They call you
As if you knew their longing –
They whistle through the lonely wind, the long blue shadows falling
