Hermione walked along the crowded street, carefully hugging her new purchases to her chest as she navigated her way through the many people that were bustling in the spirit of the holidays. The bag she was carrying was growing increasingly heavy, but inside she was smiling, knowing that the person she had bought the gift for would absolutely love it.
She had picked up her speed and was concentrating on walking even faster, manueverating even better, through the crowd when suddenly, she ran smack dab into someone, hard.
Her package went flying and she sprung backwards, falling over, her brown hair sprawling all over the ground. She was just beginning to slowly get up herself when a surprisingly warm hand grasped hers and pulled her up gently. Hermione was insanely surprised when she was met with the face of none other than her own Sirius Black.
She stared at him, a little smirk on her face, but she didn't say anything. Ironically enough, Sirius was frowning, a contemplative look in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, do we know each other?" He said slowly, picking up her packages one by one and handing them to her.
Hermione laughed and, dropping her packages again, cried, "Sirius!" She jumped into his arms and he held her close to him, laughing along with her.
They continued on their way through the snowy day, laughing the whole time. What Hermione didn't know was that Sirius was secretly looking through the package that held her Christmas present for him.
