Amelie trudged down the street after work. Looking down this lane, she remembered getting lost, and she saw the familiar light from Remus' shop.
She entered and sat down. This time it was empty, and she caught him by surprise.
"You don't look very happy," he said, leaning on the counter in front of her.
"I got fired," she mumbled.
He stood, looking somewhat startled. "Why?"
"Oh, I've been too busy with school and all that. Even though I am going to graduate in a month," she said. "Quite frankly, I'm pretty happy about it. I don't intend on being a bagger for the rest of my life."
Remus nodded, biting his lip. Amelie wasn't sure she liked the look on his face at all.
"I remember when I was in school and I was deciding on my sixth and seventh year courses at Hogwarts. I told my House Head that I wanted to be a teacher. Not quite the glory that my friends had chosen, but I wanted to work with teenagers for the rest of my life," he said, sighing slightly. "And I still want to be a teacher, but I'm not going to take the chance."
"Did you ever try to become one....you know, made and honest effort?" she asked.
"Yes," he nodded. "I actually was one, for a year."
"Really? What did you teach?"
"Defense against the dark arts. Rather ironic, isn't it?"
She looked at him thoughtfully. It was pretty ironic, but looking at his face, she really didn't want to say it.
"I can see you teaching. Although, you do get a bit coldly scientific sometimes," she said, shrugging. "Why did you stop?"
"I forgot to take a potion that keeps me tame one night. I was lucky to not have bitten anybody..."
They sat in silence for a few moments, Amelie staring at the cup of tea that Remus gave her. Remus started to fiddle with his watch.
"Hey, Amelie," he said, suddenly. "How about I give you a job? Not a permanent one, but until you get out of school and all that. And I'd let you have enough time to study."
She looked up at Remus, to she him looking at her intently.
"Really?"
He smiled, nodding a little, and she smiled back. Before she knew what was happening, they were leaning in toward each other. And then---
There was a loud "hem-hem!"
They jerked around to see a strange lady standing in the doorway. She was wearing wizard robes with a pink jumper over top. She looked a bit like a toad.
"Can I help you?" Remus asked.
"Can I have a hot chocolate to take with me?" she said.
"Of course," he said, turning and pulling out a Styrofoam cup. She pulled out some muggle money and gave Remus the handful, telling him to keep the change.
"Thank you, Miss...." He paused, unsure of what to call her.
"Dolores Umbridge," the woman told him, absent-mindedly.
The smile and his face disappeared, turning into a look of absolute disgust, and the money fell the to floor. However, Dolores Umbridge didn't notice, as she was out the door already.

Author's notes: I know, I know... I'm evil! Umbridge doesn't have much to do with the story, I just felt like having Remus meet her, and Amelie hear a rant....Which I was rather keen to write. Partly because I hate her too....
One last note: I am currently working on a archive for MWPP+LE and SS. However, nobody is giving me fanfiction or fanart (and believe me, I've been asking!). If you would like me to archive any of your work, review me (signed works best), email me (mau_yenri@yahoo.com) or go to my website ().
