Many years earlier....
Remus, James, Sirius, Lily, Anya and Peter wall all sitting in Defence Against the Dark Arts. Anya was sitting next to Sirius, and they were giggling and laughing, exchanging notes. They looked so happy, like they were in their own little world. Lily and James were also staring at each other like nobody else existed. Remus was the only one who really paid attention to this class, it was his favourite. Although Lily, James and Sirius had some interest in the subject, they weren't fascinated like Remus. But they got good grades, as did Anya. But Anya appeared to have absolutely no interest in the subject whatsoever. Peter tried hard still couldn't make good grades, and one day Anya took pity on him and offered to tutor him, even though the subject seemed to bore her. Remus had thought this was a very considerate and sweet thing to do, and realised that he may have feelings for Anya, that you weren't supposed to have for you best friends girlfriend. Sirius and Anya may not have had a particularly serious relationship in 5th year, but there were definate sparks.
PRESENT DAY
Sirius glared at Lupin, who had a slightly dreamy expression on his face.
"Remus, snap out of it!" he commanded. Lupin turned his head to Sirius's.
"I hope you weren't thinking about our years at Hogwarts!"
"Now, why would I do a thing like that" Remus asked innocently.
Sirius glared.
"I don't want you to bring up any of my past with Anya. Ever" he said it with a tone of finality that told Lupin not to go further. It was painful enough for Sirius to remember his past, let alone have Remus bring it up.
Many years earlier....
"These are going to be the best years of our life!" the words flowed out of Anya's mouth, she couldn't contain her excitement. Shortly before graduating from Hogwarts, James and Lily had announced their plans of an extended engagement. They planned to live in Godric's Hollow while they both held down jobs, and marry when they were 20. Sirius and Anya had been the first one's told, because Lily and James felt that they too, should come to live in Godric's Hollow. James thought it would be a good idea for both couples to rent a large house to live in, so they could always be there for each other. Anya was thrilled at the idea. Sirius secretly knew that she thought the whole James and Lily marriage thing was incredibly romantic, and he planned to propose to her one day soon. So he heartily agreed to James's suggestion, and after graduation at Hogwarts, it came to be that James Potter, Lily Evans, Sirius Black and Anya Williamson would share a house in Godric's Hollow.
Sirius slammed his fist on the table, it was too painful thinking about her. he had loved her and she had gone and pulled a trick like that. Sirius, still blind with rage pulled out a piece of parchment and set to work on a letter for Harry.
Back at Hogwarts
Harry read Sirius's letter with a puzzled look on his face. Hermione noticed this, reached over and grabbed the letter out of his hands. She read:
Dear Harry,
Yes, your father and I knew Anya Williamson at school, and unfortunately for you, I feel she would make a horrible DADA teacher. I can't think what would persuade Dumbledore to give her the job. If you need any help with the subject this year, please write me.
Sirius
"Well," Hermione started.
"Don't!" Ron cut her off, but Harry was still puzzled by the letter.
"He obviously hates the woman, I wonder what happened?" he thought outloud.
"Maybe they were enemies at school," Ron offered.
"Yeah, maybe" Harry wasn't really listening. He wanted to find out the truth about Sirius and Anya Williamson.
The next day, In Defence Against the Dark Arts, Harry, Hermione and Ron filed into the front row again. Prof. Williamson stood at the front of the classroom and gave them a woeful smile.
"Unfortunatly, or fortunatly, depending on how you look at it, I have come down with a bit of the flu, and while Mme. Pomfrey is doing everything she can, I don't quite feel up to talking for 2 hours. So please turn to you textbooks and summarise the pages on The Dark Ages. If you finish early, you may talk....quietly!" Anya added this last bit as an afterthought, and as her head was starting to hurt, she went and sat at her table.
