Anno Slade, a Slytherin, grew up with Lily and Snape. Then she finally entered the Hogwarts she'd always dreamed of, and everything began to change.
A boy named James was always making moves on Lily, and he and his friends also saw Snape as a thorn in their side. There always seemed to be a handsome, dark-haired guy by James's side. Anno had always thought of him as a mischievous troublemaker, until one day...
"Anno, may I ask you to be my dance partner?"
"It would be my pleasure, Sirius."
"You were the one who said you'd protect her. So why did I find her unconscious there? If that's what you call protecting her, perhaps I won't let her get near you again, Mr. Black."
