Chapter 1- Betrayal
Hermione sat down next to Harry at the table. They were sitting in Sirius' dining room. It was the first time either of them had been inside Sirius' house and they didn't know what to think. There were strips of wallpaper hanging off the walls, the floor looked as though it had been through hell!!
"Er… nice place you've got here Sirius" said Harry. Sirius laughed loudly.
"No need to pretend Harry, it's the best I can do for the moment". Hermione had a sudden thought.
"What colour would you like the walls to be?" she asked Sirius
"Any colour but this horrible green" he said scrunching up his nose as he looked at the state of the walls.
"Redecorm Blanca" Hermione waved her wand and the walls in the dank dining room turned from bogey green to a brilliant, clean white. Sirius smiled at Hermione but Harry looked puzzled
"Where did you learn to do that?"
" Well I found it in a …"
"BOOK" Sirius and Harry said together laughing. Hermione looked sternly at them.
"Sorry Hermione" said Sirius trying not to smile "Thank you, it's lovely".
After talking for a while about school and life in general Harry said that he had to be going, he was meeting Ron in Diagon Alley.
"He said he was sorry he couldn't come" said Harry "His mum said that she wasn't keen on him seeing you just yet!" Sirius growled slightly but didn't say anything.
"You going to stay for a bit Hermione?" he said looking at her.
"If you don't mind, I'm not on speaking terms with Ron at the moment, things would be uncomfortable"
After waving Harry goodbye, Hermione and Sirius walked back into the house.
"Fancy something to eat Hermione?" he said "Don't have much but I'm starving!"
"O.k" she said "What do you have?". Nothing by the sounds of it, she thought as Sirius told her that he had eggs, milk, bananas, pasta and cereal.
"Do you have anything to drink Sirius?" she said
"Yes, out in the garage" He made to get up but Hermione got to the door first.
"I'll go" she said.
It was getting quite dark outside now winter was here. Hermione could see her breath in the freezing cold but couldn't see much else. She got to the garage and pulled the stiff door open.
"How the hell am I going to find the drink in here?" she muttered to herself "It's pitch black" She stepped into the garage and heard the door slam behind her. Great she thought, now I'm stuck in here.
"SIRIUS" she shouted "Sirius I'm stuck in the garage"
"No need to shout Hermione I'm right here" Hermione jumped
"God Sirius you scared the life out of me!!"
"Don't be afraid Hermione it's only me!" There was a strange element in Sirius' voice that Hermione hadn't heard before, it unnerved her slightly
"Where's the drink?" she said "It's so dark I can't see and I left my wand in the kitchen"
"I'm not thirsty Hermione" he said and she could hear him moving closer to her.
"Then why are we here, we should just go back to the house and…"
"Shh Hermione we both know why we're here" He moved closer to her, and their hands brushed.
"Sirius, I really should be getting home, my parents will be worried"
"Relax, I'll take care of you"
"No Sirius I have to go" she tried to move past him but he grabbed her wrist tightly
"Too bad Hermione, because you can't go"
"Sirius what are you doing?"
He pulled Hermione towards him with his other hand and kissed her roughly.
"Get off" she cried trying to push away from him "Sirius stop it" But he didn't listen, he carried on touching her all over. Hermione felt him pulling up her top and she kicked him hard in the balls. She ran to the door and tried her hardest to push it open. She pushed and pushed and pushed but she couldn't get it open.
"No use Hermione" Sirius' voice called from the other end of the garage "It's locked" He moved swiftly towards her and pushed her onto the floor. No, she thought, please don't, please don't do this to me.
