Anna was running.
She had no wand, no destination in mind, all she knew is she had to run.
The last time she had been outside had been over a year ago, the dark lord hadn't been happy to learn she was still alive and had ordered total segregation. But, in his anger he had let something slip. Harry was alive. After years of torture she had started to believe the taunts of her capturers, started to believe her entire family was dead. But she had Harry, and she had to find him.
It was with this thought she started to plan her escape, it had seemed almost impossible before but that day they had made one crucial mistake, they had left her alone with Pettigrew. He may be a coward but Anna knew he would be easy to trick. It was hard to stare the man in the face after what he had done to her and her brother, she'd wanted nothing more than to wipe the smug smile off his face but she had to focus.
With no wand and with her substantial injuries she could not do magic. With no idea as to her destination the plan hadn't really exceeded the escape part, so here she was running blind through the woods.
The woods were peaceful today, Anna had always felt at one with nature, her abilities connecting her to the earth, and it was with this thought she sprinted through them. Not knowing how long she'd been running, she began to feel the exhaustion take over as her eyelids became hooded. The last thought she had before she collapsed by a nearby tree was that of her husband. Sirius.

1971
It was safe to say Anna Potter was the total opposite of her twin brother. She was cold whilst he was warm. She was blunt, honest whilst he was funny and immature. But they loved each other the same. They were twins, joined in more than blood, their souls were connected and they would protect the other until the death.
It was January of their first year at Hogwarts, the twins having been sorted into Gryffindor together. James had struck up a close bond with three boys whilst Anna preferred the company of 2 girls called Alice and Marlene. Anna was close with the group of boys who had started to call themselves the 'marauders' but there was one boy she despised. Sirius Black. He was arrogant and egotistical much like her, but the two clashed.
Anna couldn't stand him, he was immature, like James, but had no self limit to the pranks and mayhem he caused. Anna tolerated him, for James' sake but she preferred the company of Remus Lupin, he calmed her. Anna, who had always had problems with her temper had gotten into a rather nasty fight with two Slytherin boys one evening, Remus had come along just in time and saved her from the boys and ever since the two had been inseparable. It was Anna who convinced Remus to tell James of his 'problem', the girl figuring it out within two months of knowing him.
James had reacted well, Anna remembered thinking, of course the two had been raised together, with the same morals, but Anna had always had a bit more of a love for danger than James.
She was cut out of her thoughts by the very boy she had been trying to avoid, sighing she stood up from the tree she was perched against and rolled her eyes
"To what do I owe the pleasure Mr Black" she asked, not much caring for the answer she started to walk off.
"What is your problem with me Potter?" he yelled after her "I mean I know I'm irresistible but you don't have to be ashamed!"
Turning on him so fast Sirius barely had time to blink she sneered at him "My problem? My problem is that you are the most self-centred, arrogant tow rag I've ever had the misfortune of meeting! Why can't you leave me the fuck alone?!" she yelled
Not being phased by this he replied cockily, "You know, I think you're just jealous, just because you don't have friends doesn't mean you have to be so cold , no wonder everybody hates you."
He regretted saying it as soon as the words left his mouth. This was his best friends sister, not Snivellous or some girl he'd never have to see again. He knew what he'd said was total rubbish, she was one of the most loved people in Hogwarts, the teachers adored her, James wanted to be her.
The twins were close, closer than him and James were and Sirius knew he'd get an earful for saying this later, he opened his mouth to apologise but she cut him off before he had the chance.
"You're unbelievable. James is my twin Black, remember that, to insult me is to insult him. And you hate me huh?" she replied with a smirk "sounds like the beginning of a love story" she said with a roll of her eyes before turning and walking off confidently, leaving him staring after her in awe.
It was in that moment Sirius knew he was going to fall hard for this raven haired hothead. Even if she hated him.
