It was the next morning when Remus started to think about his movement the previous night. He of course loved Hermione because they had become somewhat friends in the past few years but he had never kissed her before. It was like something from Moony was pulling him towards the young girl. Of course it was nothing like falling in love. No it was a different kind of love. The kind of love a father and a daughter shared. For some reason Remus thought that Moony felt Hermione like a cub. He had felt it before but not as much as this time. He took a sip from his coffee. He had woken up earlier than usual. He took a deep breath and smile when he saw Sirius walking downstairs. Both of them had stayed overnight to make sure that everything would be okay.
''Good morning'' Remus said. Sirius looked at him with an angry look because he was obviously not a morning person. Remus smiled and stood up from the chair and purred his friend a cup of black coffee.
When Sirius took a sip he closed his eyes and let the hot liquid do its job. He opened his eyes and said ''Good morning Moony. Did you slept at all?'' Sirius asked and looked his friend with a raised eyebrow
''No I don't think so'' Remus said and took another sip from his coffee. ''Have you ever felt protective over someone without knowing why?'' Remus asked his friend while looking at his cup
Sirius studied his friend ''No I haven't.'' Sirius said and took a sip from his own cup. ''We are talking about Hermione, aren't we?'' he asked and looked warily
''Yeah! I just feel so protective over her. Yesterday I kissed her head in front of everyone I kissed her head to tell her goodnight, I wanted to take care of her. I just don't know what is happening. I know for sure that I am not in love with Hermione. I just don't know what in the world is happening with Moony. He just wants to take the pain away from Hermione as do I and I feel like I would do anything for her.'' Remus explained to Sirius and took a deep calming breath
''Moony it's fine. You always loved Hermione! You are friends. Maybe you feel her like a cub. You know what I mean. Maybe you want to protect her and because she always helped you, you feel it's your time as the alpha to help her. So maybe Moony feels Hermione as a cub. It's not that bad. Besides, I think that Hermione will need a guardian. She is not yet seventeen and even if she was she needs a guardian.'' Sirius said and patted Remus at his shoulder
''Yeah you are probably right. And what do you mean Hermione needs a guardian?'' Remus said and looked at his friends with worry feeling his heart.
''Hermione never had a guardian here in the Wizardry World. That means that after her parents death and because Hermione isn't seventeen yet meaning she is not yet an adult in the Wizardry world she will need someone to sign for her and to take care of her. Basically he or she who will be named as Hermione's guardian will be her godfather or godmother." Sirius explained and looked out of the window the dawn of the sun and smiled.
''Will the Ministry decide for Hermione's guardian?" Remus asked and he too smiled when he saw what his friend was looking.
''Normally they have to give two or three days for someone to find a guardian. However they don't give easily time and the Ministry decides who the guardian will be.'' Sirius said and widened his eyes when he saw that Remus eyes became amber.
''They have no right. They will not choose the guardian for Hermione. And what if they choose a death eater for Hermione's guardian?'' Remus said and felt his anger building up.
''Calm down mate, I am sure Dumbledore will have to say something in the matter.'' Sirius said and patted Remus shoulder. Remus took a deep breath and nodded at his friend.
That moment Molly walked inside the kitchen and with a ''Good morning she started to work on breakfast. Half an hour later redheads started to walk inside the kitchen and everyone took a seat around the table except Hermione, Ginny, Harry and Ron who were still sleeping.
Arthur and Bill left for the Ministry while Fred and George left to go to their shop. Remus and Sirius went to Grimauld place to change and to take some clothes because for a while they would be staying at the Burrow.
Hermione woke up feeling calmed and relaxed. She looked at the watch in her bedside and saw that it was nearly ten in the morning. She stood up went to the bathroom freshen up and dressed up. When she returned to the bedroom, she saw that Ginny was still asleep so she decided to head down and talk with Molly. She saw her in the kitchen as always. She took a deep breath and walked inside ''Good morning Molly." She said
Molly turned around when she heard Hermione's voice and smiled at the younger girl in front of her ''Good morning dear! How are you sweetheart?'' she asked her and put in front of her a plate with some pancakes.
Hermione smiled at the warm greeting she received from Molly ''I feel more relaxed and a little calmed from yesterday. I can't tell for sure that I feel better but I am trying.'' she said and looked at her plate.
Molly leaned down and kissed her cheek ''It will get better with time sweetheart! Now eat!'' she said and smiled at Hermione
Hermione started eating when suddenly the two women heard someone coming out of the fireplace and they saw Sirius and Remus walk inside the kitchen. Remus walked quickly at Hermione's side and said ''How are you feeling?''
Before Hermione could speak Sirius said ''Jeez Moony say good morning first.'' That made Hermione chuckle and Sirius grinned while Remus thanked Merlin for giving him Sirius.
Hermione looked at Remus again and said ''I am relaxed and calm today'' she said and gave him a small smile. Remus smiled and kissed her head. Before he could move away from her, Hermione wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tight. Remus was taken aback but wrapped his arms around her shoulders and stroked her hair ''It will be okay love'' he whispered only for her to hear. He felt her nod against him and after few minutes he felt her losing her tight grip around him and pulling away. Remus pulled his arms from around her and sat beside her and Hermione continued eating.
An hour later Ron, Harry and Ginny walked downstairs and they too ate breakfast and together with Hermione, Remus and Sirius they walked outside.
''How about we play a game of quidditch'' Ron suggested and everyone nodded.
''I will be watching you! You know that I hate flying!'' Hermione said and everyone nodded
''I will join you. I am not so fond of playing the game. I'd rather watch!'' Remus said and the two went and sat and the grass few meters away from the others. In one team there was Harry and Sirius while on the other one was Ron and Ginny.
''I bet that Harry and Sirius will win'' Remus said and Hermione chuckled
''Tell me now that we are going to put a bet!'' Hermione said and Remus laughed
''Yeah why not'' Remus said trying to make her feel a little better
Hermione shook her head and said ''Thank you Remus for everything!''
Remus smiled and took her hand in his ''Hermione I will take care of you! I swear!'' he said sincerely and Hermione smiled and leaned down and put her head to his shoulder.
Suddenly Molly's voice from the kitchen calling them was heard and everyone walked towards the Burrow.
That afternoon, Dumbledore had called a meeting at the Burrow about Hermione's guardianship. Hermione was present because the matter was about her. When everyone had settled down around the table and few others like Snape and Moody were at the corners of the room Dumbledore started to speak. ''I welcome you in one of the Order of the Phoenix meetings. Let's start! Alastor, Tonks there is something you wanted to tell us.''
''Indeed Dumbledore'' Moody started and he turned around and looked at Hermione who look back at him warily. ''Two days ago at the attack at your house Miss Granger there were seven death eaters from the age of seventeen and up. We found one death eater yesterday while in a mission with some aurors. He wasn't at the attack, however, he knew three of the people who were there.'' He stopped to let her relax
Hermione took a deep breath and said ''So you say you know three of my parents murders. Who are they?''
Moody studied the young woman in front of him. He saw a fire he hadn't seen for a while in someone. ''McNair, Dolohov and Flint'' he simply said the three names
Hermione stiffened when she heard Dolohov's name and immediately her hand went to the scar she had gained from Dolohov's spell. Remus saw the movement and put his hand upon hers in a comforting way something that made her calm. ''Alright'' she simply said and Dumbledore nodded and spoke ''The other matter in hand is the guardianship of Miss Granger. I spoke with the Minister today and we have two days to find a guardian for Miss Granger or the Ministry will choose a guardian.'' He said and small talks started around the table
Hermione felt Remus stiffen and looked at him. When he didn't look at her, she started to stroke his hand with her thumb in circles. ''It's alright" she whispered and he looked at her and nodded.
Dumbledore started to speak again ''Please let's stop talking to each other. We have to find a guardian for Hermione as soon as we can.''
Everyone nodded and Arthur spoke ''Who want to become Hermione's guardian?'' he asked and immediately Molly, Remus, Minerva and Tonks raised their hands. Hermione looked at Remus and smiled and he smiled back.
''Well it seems that most of the people in this room wants to be your guardian my dear.'' Dumbledore said and Hermione blushed ''However it is up to you to choose. No one will be mad at you.'' He continued explaining the situation
Hermione took a deep breath and looked at the people who had raised their hands. She looked at Tonks first and said ''Well first of all Tonks and I are like sisters. It would be very weird to call her you know mum or aunt or something like that. Besides you are only seven years older than me. It is weird!'' Tonks looked at her and thought about what she said and in the end she nodded ''Yeah I totally agree with her. It would be weird and I don't think that neither of us would be very comfortable around each other like that. After all you know that I am here for you!'' she said and smiled
Hermione nodded and looked at Minerva and Molly. ''About Molly and professor McGonagall, I don't think the guardianship would work. I would love for you professor to be my guardian but it would be very confusing for both of us inside the classes. I just can't put extra stress on your shoulders. You don't have only me to take care of but the whole student body at Hogwarts. And Molly, you know very well that even if you are not my guardian I see both you and Arthur like my parents in this world but still I will feel wrong. And don't let me start about what is going to happen here with me and Ron more that one month in the same house at the summer. I will probably kill him for not doing his summer homework.'' Hermione finished and both Minerva and Molly nodded that what Hermione said was the right thing.
After that Hermione turned to Remus ''And that leaves you Remus if the offer is still open.'' Hermione said and Remus smiled and nodded.
Before anyone else could speak about the matter and ask why Remus was the best choice Dumbledore spoke ''Great! I will speak with the Ministry and tomorrow I will come with the papers! If no one else needs to say something the meeting had come to an end.'' He looked around and when he saw that no one wanted to say something he spoke again ''Until next time then! Good night everyone'' He said and members of the Order started to leave from the Burrow.
''Remus, Hermione may I speak with you for a minute please?'' Dumbledore said when everyone except Remus, Hermione, Arthur, Bill, Molly, Sirius and himself had left.
Remus nodded and with Hermione they walked towards him ''Is there a problem Albus?'' Remus asked and Hermione looked warily.
''Not at all my boy! I just wanted to say that I am very happy that you will be Hermione's guardian! I will come tomorrow in the evening with the papers.'' He said and smiled
Hermione smiled and said ''Thank you sir! For everything you have done for me these past few days!''
Dumbledore smiled and said ''There has been no problem at my side my dear! I only wish for you to be happy again!''
''I will try sir!'' Hermione said and Dumbledore nodded and left.
Hermione and Remus returned to the table and Hermione said ''Molly I hope that you are not mad at me''
Molly hugged Hermione and said ''My sweet, why would I be angry? To say the truth I think Remus is the best choice!''
Hermione kissed Molly's cheek and said ''Thank you! I will go upstairs! I need to tell the others what happened.''
''Wait I will come too!'' Remus said and stood up ready to follow.
''Hey wait! What about me?'' Sirius said and run to Hermione and Remus and the three walked towards Hermione's room leaving the three Weasleys at the kitchen. When they opened the door they saw the twins, Ginny, Harry and Ron waiting inside the room to learn what happened.
Ginny jumped when she saw Hermione enter and went to her friend and hugged her. ''You okay?'' She whispered and Hermione nodded.
''So what happened?'' Ron asked
''Remus is Hermione's guardian from now on! Dumbledore will come tomorrow with the papers for Hermione's and Remus signatures.'' Sirius explained. After the explanation the two Marauders said another story from their years at Hogwarts and two hours later everyone went to sleep.
