A/N: I know that this is incredibly short, but I kinda had to end it. You'll see why in the next chapter. Review!

Chapter Four ~Remus~
Ali looked slightly ill, so I took her back to the Blue Bonnet, where I made her stay in her bed.
"But Remus I…" She tried to argue as I shooed her into the room.
"Listen, you don't look well. I know you're still adjusting to the time change, so why don't you get some rest." I pushed a stray strand of hair away from her face. "Please? You really need some rest."
Ali gave in with a sigh. "Fine. I'll sleep. Just, wake me up in a couple of hours, okay? I should really practice my routine." She lay back in her bed and pulled the comforter up to her chin.
"Night, Ali."
"G'night, Remus." I gave her quick kiss on the forehead and shut the door.

I found two owls waiting at the foot of my bed when I walked into my room.
I tore one open and read,
"Moony-
You had better be taking good care of Ali. She's like my twin sis. Don't hurt her!
Oh no…what's happening to me! I'm not THAT old, am I?
I just want to tell you…Ali has a secret. Something I swore not to tell about long ago, but just…be careful. Okay?
Owl me back as soon as you get this.
--Padfoot"
I looked at the letter, slightly confused. Ali has a secret? Well, no doubt about that. Everyone has secrets. But this…I guess I should listen to him.
I opened the next letter and read,
"Dear Remus,
How's everything going? Have you seen Dumbledore yet? Lily is staying at my house for the last week of summer.
Tell Ali I said hi.
Padfoot said he would tell you, but I wanted to remind you incase you haven't read his letter first. Be careful of Ali. She has a secret, so just be warned. Don't question her about where she goes or what she does. I know that she has an awful temper, but watch out.
Owl me back.
--Prongs."
Why couldn't they just tell me! I thought. I was feeling half-angry and half-worried. What could possibly be so bad?
~*~*~*~
An hour later, I woke Ali up from, what looked like, a peaceful nap. Believe me, I didn't want to. Her dark brown hair was spread out over her pillow, and her covers were slightly messed.
"Ali." I whispered. She stirred a little, but rolled away from me. "Ali." I shoved her gently. Slowly, her eyes opened.
"Huh?" She said groggily.
"Wake up. You said you needed to practice your routine." That got her up.
"Could you leave so I can get dressed? I mean, I fell asleep in my jeans." She motioned towards the door, and I walked out, shutting it behind me.
