Hermione awoke with the morning sunlight streaming down upon her. She sighed contented then made to roll over when she felt another body in bed with her. Panicking she sat up and looked over only to discover Sirius Black. The night before flooded back through her mind, the dream then Sirius offering to be there for her always and her plea that he stay with her. She smiled to herself then lay back down to get another hours worth of sleep. Hours later Hermione awoke again this time Sirius's arm was wrapped around her torso. She moved his hand and sat up apparently awaking Sirius while she was at it because he yawned and then stretched before sitting up also. "Good morning Mione" Sirius said smiling warmly. "Morning Sirius" Hermione replied affectionately. She pulled the blankets off of her and got out of bed stretching. Sirius proceeded to do the same. "You wanna go down and get something to eat" Sirius asked walking towards the door. The sound of her stomach growling answered the question for her and they both laughed while walking out of the room. "Sirius Black what on earth are you doing coming out of Hermione's bedroom"? Molly barked at the ex convict. Sirius getting upset by the way she was thinking replied quite pissed off "Molly I am her goddamn guardian so don't fucking bug me about what I am doing with the child that I am to take care of" Sirius grabbed Hermione's hand and led her down the stairs and into the kitchen. Leaving a stunned Molly in his wake
"Holly shit Sirius!" Hermione exclaimed "You just practically told Molly to fuck off I cannot believe you did that!" Hermione said before breaking down into a huge giggling fit. Sirius looked at her laughing and smiling and knew anything he did would be worth it if only to see the pain cleared from her Carmel colored eyes." Well come on Mione, you do know what she was implying right"? Sirius said still looking pissed off. "Actually I'm a little confused why did she act like you were going to murder me in my bedroom?" Hermione said full of innocence. "Mione she thought I was doing something improper to you or even with you" "How the hell could she think that all you've done since my life fell apart is try to put it back together how the hell could she think that you were doing anything other than comforting me. I know that she hasn't dealt with her whole family being murdered and then being beaten and raped by several death eaters but she should at least realize that having someone there to help you through is a lot better than waking up screaming and crying with no one there." Hermione rambled on clearly outraged at what the eldest female weaesly thought. "I trust you with my life; I know that you would never ever do anything to hurt me so why can't people accept that you are one of the good guys." Hermione finally trailed off" Mione, love it doesn't matter what molly or anyone else thinks all that matters is what you think. I'm honored that you can trust me with your life because I feel the same way with you." "Now enough with all this emotional bullshit let's get something to eat and then do some shopping. Hermione smiled and set out around the kitchen preparing a breakfast of pancakes and sausage. They quickly devoured their food, dressed and headed out the door.
They went to the back of the house near the garage and walked up to a huge figure under a tarp. Sirius grabbed a hold of an edge of the tarp and pulled, only to reveal a gigantic motorcycle. "Hop on Mione" Sirius said while straddling the monster that was to take them to their destination. "Uhhh Sirius I ….. I don't know about this, I'm kind of afraid of flying." Sirius looked at her stunned, Hermione afraid of flying even the idea of that was absurd coming from the witch who was willing to help take on the dark lord. "Do you trust me, Mione?" Sirius asked starring deeply into her Carmel browns. "Yes, with my life" Hermione breathed close to Sirius's face. Sirius pulled back a little scared at the odd feelings going around his stomach at the thought of Hermione so close to his body. "Then hop on" Sirius said once again this time however Hermione did just that and wrapped her arms around his waist tightly as he started the engine. "Ready?" Sirius asked "Not at all Hermione replied "Good" Sirius said smiling, and then they were off.
"That was the most fun I have had in such a long time" Hermione told Sirius as they were walking through the door arms filled with packages and smiles on their faces. "Me too Mione me too. Sirius said happy that once again he could make her smile instead of frown. As soon as they had walked into the front room her smile disappeared. All the current inhabitants of the house were gathered around sitting in the chairs and on the two couches. They were all starring at the couple as they entered. After THAT night Hermione had not been able to be in a room with more than a few people. Hermione looked extremely uneasy. Sitting on the largest of the couches was Mr. and Mrs. Weaesly, Remus and Tonks, and Madeye Moody. On the smaller of the couches was Ron, Ginny, the twins, and … Harry? Hermione briefly wondered when he had shown up. But she was much more concerned of the fact that the entire household had gathered and was watching them.
"Hi Mione" Harry was the first to speak up. "I just got here" Harry finished looking at her expectantly. What on earth could he want Hermione wondered. Oh he wanted a hug or at least something welcoming, it was just too bad that Hermione could barely stand touching females. She absolutely could not stand being in close space as a man let alone touching one. Well except for Sirius her mind added. While she was sitting there having an inner debate with herself Harry had cautiously moved forward now standing right in front of her. Hermione took two steps back indecently colliding into Sirius. "Hermione I'm sorry I should have realized I'm so sorry" Harry said stepping back toward the couch, Hurt clear in his eyes. Harry was one of her best friends and yet she had just hurt him all because she couldn't stand being touched. She had caused another one of her loved ones pain. Hermione turned and ran up the stairs locking herself into her room. Meanwhile downstairs Sirius told the others that he would go talk to Hermione. After he started up towards her room, the whole room quieted until Harry spoke up again and said "I'm going to kill those death eater bastards for what they've done to her" For the first time Molly didn't reprimand him for cursing instead she mentally agreed, they all did, something had to be done to all those who had harmed and changed forever they're nerdy sweet Hermione.
