''No, I am not showing you it'' I argued.

''Just because you know mine, is going to be better'' He reasoned.

''Don't push me''

''Why, wont you show it to me''

''Its embarrassing''

''You know, your patronus reflects your soul-mates.''

''I know, that's why I don't want to show everyone''

''He's in this room, isn't he''

I looked around, in the stuffed living room of the burrow, where Harry, Mr and Mrs Weasley, Tonks, Lupin, Kingsley,Luna, Neville,Moody,Ron, the Twins and Ginny sat bemused by mine and Sirius' conversation.

''Why does he have to be in this room?'' I asked nervously.

''Isn't your patronus an otter, Mione''' Ron butted in.

''No'' I sulked.

''It was, in 5th Year'' Harry explained.

''Well, it changed.'' I snapped. I was really having enough with this argument, I just wanted to curl up on a chair, in front of the fire and read a good book preferably: Pride and Prejudice or Emma.

''Has lickle Hermione-

''Kins got something to hide'' The Twins said.

''Yes, Yes I have got something to hide, and I'm going to keep it hidden.'' All I wanted was a nice, christmas free of the constant worries about Voldemort, and Sirius has to ruin it all, all over to boost his own super inflated ego.''

''We'll show you ours first, then you won't feel embarrassed.'' Luna added. I love Luna, I really do, but it won't help… it would only make it even worse because everyone would know who's my patronus is akin to.

''Yes, that a good idea'' Ron said, agreeing with his girlfriend.

''Come on Mione' it can't be that embarrassing'' Ginny spoke, for the first time.

''Trust me, it is''

''Not much of a Gryffindor are you'' Sirius whispered behind me, sending chills of delight through me body.

''I didn't realise it was cold'' Sirius smirked.

''Fine, but don't laugh'' I relented.

''OK, everyone, lets stick to the deal'' Harry commanded, flicking his wand to produce a large stag patronus which cuddled up to Ginny's horse. Soon to be followed by Tonks and Remus' wolfs, Luna's hare, The Twins', twin monkeys, Ron's terrier, Molly and Arthurs weasels, Kingsley's Lynx, Moodys bear, Neville's badger, and Sirius' lion.

''Do I have to'' I whined to the group, who's animals were circling them.

''Yes'' The group chorused.

With a flick of her wand and a spoken ''Expecto Patronum'', a large lioness and cub burst out of Hermione's wand.

''Surprise'' I said. Wait, cub? Oh crap the baby, he wasn't meant to find out like this… Can a baby even have a patronus? Huh, apparently it does.

I turned to Sirius, looked him in the eyes and smiled. ''I was going to you but you were ranting on about these damn patronuses and….''

He hushed me with his fingers. ''How long?'' ''3 months''

''Im sorry I was… '' He cut me off again, but this time with a gentle kiss to my lips.

''God I love you'' He muttered into the kiss.

''I love you too Sirius Black''
