Hermione felt a smile grace her lips when she saw him play with Teddy and knew he would make a wonderful father someday. Unfortunately, he would never father her children even though they loved each other.
She could remember them talking about it and making the decision to stay away from each other.
"We can't keep skirting around the issue Hermione. I love you, but I can't lose Harry... and neither can you. I want the both of you in my life, but we both know he won't like us together." Sirius said closing his eyes.
They were sat opposite each other in their usual chairs in the library. It had always been a sort of haven for them, a place they could meet away from prying eyes.
"I know." Hermione sighed. She was usually full of ideas about what they could do, but this time she agreed. She knew Harry would be uncomfortable with them having a relationship as he had said something to that effect before.
"I think we should spend a little time away from each other. Not much," He added hastily seeing the look in Hermione's eyes. "Just enough to distance ourselves, we will always see each other on Sunday's at the Burrow."
Coming out of the memory she felt someone standing next to her.
"When are you going to tell him?" Harry asked.
"Tell who, what?" Hermione asked in return.
"Tell Sirius that you love him." Harry answered.
Hermione turned at looked at him stunned, "H-how d-did you know?"She stuttered.
"You always have a big smile on your face when he's around. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out, and it doesn't take much to see that he feels the same way."
"How long have you known?" she asked curiously.
"Long enough. Why haven't you done anything about it?"
"We thought you would be uncomfortable with us being together. We didn't want to lose you."
"We? So Sirius already knows then? You won't lose me because of falling in love Hermione even if it is with Sirius. All I want is my friends and family to be happy, you and Sirius have my blessing. Now, go and get your man." Harry said. He was touched that Hermione and Sirius had thought about he would react, but he would never keep them from true happiness. He watched as Hermione kissed him and knew that it would last.
