Author's Note from Sophini – Hello :) Yes, it's ANOTHER new fanfiction but a Sirius/hermione one this time :) What fun. Anywhoo, this is just the prologue but say what you think anyway... Oh and we have a little poll on our profile so if you'll have a look at that I'd be most obliged. This is another piece with cheshire so updating times will be a bit random. Oh and our other fic/ficlets will probably be updated soon – so keep checking!

It had started and ended in the same way...

With a boy shouting, "I will find you," but in two very different contexts.

Only one man knew the full story and he was far from willing to retell it.

And now he was busy, standing outside a dance studio, watching parents take their darling children inside.

The man waited a minute before rising from his place in the bushes and walking inside, knowing fully well that he would stand out from the other parents, what with his long, black hair and stubble and the dirty, brown coat he was wearing.

But he wasn't hear to drop of his child.

Truthfully, he didn't have any children.

He was here to check something.

Three weeks ago, a small article had appeared in a local muggle paper, talking about a baby-dance class that would be taking part in a regional competition.

The man hadn't been reading the article, he knew it would be too sweet and cuddly for his taste, but a name had caught his eye.

Her name.

Hermione Granger.

But it couldn't be possible... Hermione Granger had been at school when he'd been at school.

In fact, she'd appeared quite suddenly in his sixth year.

Very suddenly in fact, claiming that she'd just moved back from France, to live with her grandmother after her parents had disappeared...

It had all seemed so convenient...

But still, the man had checked the birth records and there she was.

Hermione Jean Granger, born to Dr Granger and Dr Granger, two muggle dentists.

So the man had come to check and as all the children filed into the hall where they would be practising their dances and the parents left, he snuck through the door and watched from the shadows.

He picked her out immediately as her class filed onto the stage...

One of the youngest there and with lots of brown, bushy hair, Hermione Granger stuck out like a sore thumb.

Not only was she stuffed into an ugly grey tutu, unlike the other girls who were dressed to the eyes in baby pink, she was scowling and looked like she was trying to decide whether to burst into tears or throw a tantrum...

Or both.

"Step and step and turn a-round," A young, blonde teacher in leggings and a hoodie was saying with a huge, cheesy smile, going through the routine while breaking her words up into individual syllables at a time, "And step and step and curt-sey."

This was when the one year old Hermione (slightly older than his own Godson who had just turned one a short while back) seemed to snap.

With an audible huff, she stormed off the stage, leaving the dance teacher spluttering and saying, "Hermione! Come back here!" in an outraged voice.

The watching man couldn't help but chuckle and before he knew it, the dance teacher had turned around and spotted him, fixing him with an alarmed glare.

"Rehearsal isn't over yet," She said shrilly, "If you want to pick up your child, you'll have to wait like everyone else!"

"Oh, I don't have a daughter..." The man grinned, watching in amusement as the women went from panicking to being hysterical.

"LINDA!" She shouted backstage, "Could you take the kiddies back stage, please?"

A short, dumpy women waddled onto stage and started to usher the children off, following the storming Hermione, as the dance teacher turned back to the scruffy looking man once more.

"What did you say your name was?" She demanded.

"I didn't," The man said smoothly, "But in case you were wondering, it's Sirius Black..."

The teacher paused, scrolling through the class register mentally to see if there was a student with the surname Black, hoping desperately that there was not a perverted man in her dance class.

There was not and when she looked up to tell the man to leave, she found that he was already gone...
