Summary: Remus and Ally have been going out since fifth year. Ally has noticed that once a month Remus disappears and before and after that he becomes very pale. She decides to confront him on it.

Title: Where is Your Heart?

Author: Me

Remus Lupin, 17, sighed as he got out of bed. It was Saturday and as usual he was the first one up. He rummaged through his clothes in his trunk, not caring that he was making a mess. He would just clean it later.

Remus was also known as Moony. One of the four infamous Marauders of Hogwarts! His three best friends were James Potter (Prongs), Sirius Black (Padfoot) and Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail). James and Sirius were the players of the school. You named a girl most likely they slept with them. Mainly Sirius. Anyone with half a brain knows that James loves a girl named Lily Evans. He asks her out everyday and more than once or twice a day and everyday she declines. The Marauder's were known for their pranks around the whole school, most of them directed at the Slytherins, so when James was named Head Boy the Marauders were stunned.

Remus walked down into the common room, first one there like always. He grabbed his book he left on the table, sat in his favorite armchair by the fireplace and began to read. He didn't know why he was the first one up. When he really thought about it he thought he should be the last one up considering his condition. You see, Remus Lupin isn't like any other guy. He has a secret that only the other Marauders knew. Not even his girlfriend of two years knew about it. At a very young age Remus was bitten by a werewolf.

He pushed the thought to the back of his head and concentrated on his book. It was a muggle book that his mother had given him for his birthday. The title was To Live Again by Laurene McDaniel. It was part of a little series and he enjoyed it. As he was reading his girlfriend Ally came bouncing down the stairs. She looked around until she spotted him. She walked over and sat in his lap.

"How is it that you are always up before anyone on a weekend?" Ally had long brown hair and brown eyes. She wasn't the skinniest girl at Hogwarts but she wasn't fat either. She always held her tan from the summer and all through winter.

"How is it that you are always the second one up on a weekend?" He replied without looking up from his book. She stuck her tongue out at him and sat there for a while in silence.

"Remus?"

"Yeah?"

"Can we take a walk outside for a bit? I fancy a walk."

"Sure. Let me grab my coat from upstairs."

They walked out into the chilly air that usually came at that time in August. The leaves that were on the trees that weren't part of the Forbidden Forest were changing colours and falling to the ground. As they walked you could hear them crunch beneath their feet.

The reason Ally wanted to take a walk was to confront Remus about something. Once a month on the full moon she would awaken to the sound of a howl in the forest. It freaked her out when she started to really notice that on these nights Remus would miss a few days of his classes and that when he returned he had cuts all over and he was deadly pale.

The Marauders always covered for him and she thought nothing of it until one night when she had awoken to the howl and looked out the window. She nearly screamed and fainted. She saw a werewolf running towards the Whomping Willow, followed by a deer and a black dog. She never noticed the little rat following after them.

"Can I ask you something…personal Remus?"

"Depends, how personal is it?" He had a playful smirk on his face.

"Remus…" There was a warning note in her voice.

"Alright. Go ahead."

"Now, please don't get shirty with me but…I've been thinking about you and the strange happenings once a month." She felt his hand tense a little before relaxing again. "This past full moon I awoke to the usual howling. I decided to look out the window and I saw a werewolf followed by some type of deer and a black dog. Then I also put together that around the same time you would disappear and come back with cuts and bruises.

"Remus." She stood in front of him, grabbed his other hand, and looked him in the eye. He saw love and fear in them. "Remus, I love you. I really, really do. Please just answer me this one question. Are you a werewolf?" She reached a hand to his cheek and gently stroked it. He closed his eyes, taking in her touch. What was he to do…tell her or not?

He opened his eyes after much debating, smiled and said, "Of course not. Would I keep something like that from you? No, now come on. I think they are starting to serve breakfast." He turned to leave, her hand in his and started walking. He turned around when she didn't budge.

"Ally…"

"I don't believe

In the smile that you leave

When you walk away

And say goodbye

Well I don't expect

The world to move underneath me

But for God's sake

Could you try?
I know that you're true to me

You're always there

You say you care
I know that you want to be mine"

Remus dropped her hand and stared at her. The wind started to blow all around them. Her long chocolate brown hair was blowing in it.

"Where is your heart?

'Cause I don't really feel you

Where is your heart?

What I really want is to believe you

Is it so hard

To give me what I need?

I want your heart to bleed

That's all I'm asking for

Oh, where is your heart?"

He looked away, unable to look at her. My heart? It died when I was a child…

"I don't understand

Your love is so cold

It's always me that's reaching out
For your hand
And I've always dreamed
That love would be effortless
Like a petal fallin' to the ground
A dreamer followin' his dream"

He started to walk away. She reached out for him and took his hand. She pulled him to her, tears in her eyes, begging for the truth. He just shook his head and she kept singing.

"Where is your heart?

'Cause I don't really feel you

Where is your heart?
What I really want is to believe you
Is it so hard

To give me what I need?
I want your heart to bleed

And that's all I'm asking for
Oh, where is your heart?"

"Please talk to me…" She pleaded.

"You wouldn't like the truth."

"It seems so much is left unsaid
So much is left unsaid

But you can say anything
Oh, anytime you need

Baby, it's just you and me
Oh yeah"

"I want the truth. I won't tell anyone."

"That's not what I am worried about."

"What then?"

"Your reaction."

"I know that you're true to me

You're always there

You say you care
I know that you want to be mine"

"Are you a werewolf then?"

"I told you no."

"Bull shit."

"Where is your heart?

'Cause I don't really feel you

Where is your heart?
What I really want is to believe you
Is it so hard

To give me what I need?
I want your heart to bleed

That's all I'm asking for
Oh yeah"

"Lupin…look at me. Look at me god damnit!" He faced her. "If you're not going to be honest I'm leaving. Personally, I think werewolves are interesting." He just remained silent, thinking it over in his head.

"Where is your heart?
'Cause I don't really feel you

Where is your heart?
What I really want is to believe you
Is it so hard

To give me what I need?
I want your heart to bleed

And that's all I'm asking for
Where is your heart?
Where is your heart?
Where is your heart?
Where is your heart?"

"Well?"

"Yes, I am a werewolf."

"See, was that so hard?"

"Yes it was actually." She just laughed and kissed him.

"C'mon. I'm getting hungry. Let's go eat before others get suspicious." They both walked back into Hogwarts, hand in hand with huge smiles on their faces. Remus thought he had found a woman who had accepted him for who he really was. Sadly enough, Ally Mandel died in battle during the war. At her funeral, Remus requested that the song she sang in their 7th year be played. She passed away at the age of 21.

AN: How was it? I know it is a lot darker than the first chapter but I had been writing a different story, which has now been disposed of, and I was going to have this song in it, played along similar lines. Since I got rid of the story it was going to be in, I added here. Song is called Where is Your Heart? by: Kelly Clarkson. Review please!
