A/N: Hey! I got my laptop back! I'm so happy! Okay, I'm in a car right now going to grandma's house and I'm really bored. I'm listening to The Marshall Mathers LP and I felt like writing this chapter, okay? Okay. This chapter and the next one is going to focus on Ally and Remus. Oh, one more thing, I MADE KRISTINA CRY…AGAIN AGAIN!

No one to sing this song to

He's gonna settle down

If he meets that special girl soon

Chapter Seven

















James, Peter, Sirius, Kate, and Lily met down in the common room.

"Where's Re and Ally?" Sirius asked.

The others shrugged.

"Hmm…well, shall we go to lunch?"

"Lets go."





Lunch time was almost over.

"Ally, we should really go up to the castle and tell Dumbledore about this," Remus said, rubbing her back.

Ally sighed.

"Can we just stay here a little longer, Rem?" she asked quietly.

"Yeah, sure," he said. "No problem."

Ally curled up closer to her boyfriend and he tightened his hold on her.





"Where the hell are they?" James asked.

"I dunno...should we go and look for them?" Kate asked.

"Yeah, lets go," said Lily.

"I gotta go study," said Peter. "See you all later."

"Bye," said the rest.

"Lets go, maybe they're outside," said Jenny.

The five of them exited the castle. Sirius and Kate and James and Lily were hand in hand.

"I see them!" said Sirius. "They're lying over by the lake."

They walked over to the couple and sat down.

"What's up, you two?" James asked. When he saw Ally's face, his smile changed to a frown. "What's wrong, Al?"

Remus sat the two of them up. Ally found that her throat was too tight to speak and she shook her head.

"Voldemort," Remus said. "He murdered her mom and step-dad."

James' jaw dropped.

"Are you shitting me?"

Ally shook her head 'no' and tears started rolling down her cheeks again.

"Oh, Ally..." James moved over and hugged his best friend.

"Shit..." Sirius whispered.





Ally got a letter from her father the next day.

*Dear Ally,

Hello. Sorry to hear about your mother and Jason. The funeral is on the forth. I wrote to your headmaster and I'll be picking you up from Kings Cross Station on the second.

See you then.

-Dad*

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning," Ally told the group.

"You're going alone?" Sirius asked.

"I don't know if Dumbledore will let me take someone with me," Ally said.

They all nodded and went back to their breakfast.





"Come in, Mr. Lupin," Dumbledore called.

"How do you always know who's behind your door?" Remus asked, entering the office.

Dumbledore shrugged.

"It's a gift." They both smiled. "Is something the matter, Remus?" the professor asked.

"Sir, I was wondering if I could go with Ally to the funeral," Remus said without beating around the bush. "I can't let her go alone, she's not holding up too good."

Professor Dumbledore looked at Remus over the rims of his half moon spectacles.

"You really care about her don't you?"

"Yes, sir, I do, more than anything else," Remus said.

"You may accompany her if she wishes," said Dumbledore.

Remus smiled.

"Thank you, sir," he said. "I'm gonna go ask her."

"Remus, would you like a pass to Charms?"

"Oh, yes, sir, thank you."

Dumbledore wrote up a pass so that Remus wouldn't get in trouble for being late to class.

"Goodbye, Remus."

"Bye, sir."

Ally slipped Remus a note as he sat down next to her.

*Where'd you go, Moony?*

Remus got out his quill and a bottle of ink and wrote back.

*I was talking to Dumbledore. He said that, if you want, I can go with you tomorrow. I don't want you to be alone.*

Ally looked up at him when she read that and smiled her first smile since she had found out the news.

"Thank you," she whispered. "I need you there."

He smiled back at her and put his hand on hers. They paid attention for the rest of the period.





Remus and Ally packed what they would need for the next few days into duffle bags after classes were over that day. The next morning, they said goodbye to their friends at breakfast and left the castle. A horseless carriage was waiting there for them to take them to Hogsmeade Station.





"Remus," Ally said quietly, "I can't get off of this train. I'm not ready...I can't do it."

The train was pulling into Platform Nine and Three Quarters as she spoke. These were the first words spoken since the pair had boarded the train.

"Ally," Remus said, squeezing her hand, "you are one of the strongest people I know. You can do this and I'm here for you to fall back on. Everything's gonna be alright."

Ally shook her head.

"No it's not, Re, it'll never be okay."

"Yes it will," Remus said. He wiped her tears with his thumb and kissed her cheek. "You have to...*we* have to do this. We're going to do it together, okay? I'll be right next to you the entire time."

Ally took a deep, shaky breath and nodded.

"Okay, lets go."

Ally clutched Remus' hand extremely tight and they started to walk out of their compartment together. Ally's dad was waiting for her on the platform.

"Ally," he said. "And who is this?"

"Remus Lupin, sir," Remus said. "I'm her boyfriend."

He nodded. "

Eddie Tuksan, I'm Ally's father." He shook Remus' hand.

"No you're not," Ally spat, glaring at Eddie. "My father died four days ago."

"Ally-"

"Just...where's the car?"

Eddie sighed and led the two teens to his car. The two hour ride to Eddie's home was completely silent. He didn't even turn on the radio.





Later that night, up in the room Eddie had given Remus and Ally, Remus asked, "Ally, what was that about before?"

"What d'you mean?" Ally asked. She knew damn well what he meant.

"You know damn well what I mean," Remus said. "What you said to Eddie about how your father died four days ago."

"He and I don't have the best relationship, Re," said Ally. She sighed. "Jay was more of a father to me than the man downstairs. Just because he helped my mom make me doesn't mean I have to love him."

"Why hate him though? I don't get it."

"Well, I basically wrote Perfect for him," Ally said. Remus raised an eyebrow. Ally sighed and sat down next to him on his bed. "When we found out that I'm a witch, when I got my Hogwarts letter, he basically gave me two choices. Be a witch, or ignore it. He and my mom had already been divorced for about five years and my mom had just married Jay. Now, he said that I could either ignore it and everything would be fine or I could go to Hogwarts and he wouldn't talk to me or see me anymore. Well, this is the first time I've seen him since I was eleven years old."

"He really did that?" Remus asked. "He stopped communicating with you, his *daughter*, just because you're a witch."

"As far as I'm concerned, that man downstairs is not my dad. He's my father, but he's not my dad. Dad is a special word...Jay was my dad."

Remus nodded.

"I get it," he said.

"I'm going to bed, Re," Ally said. "G'night."

"Night, Als."
