Hi guys sorry it's been so long I've had a lot of things happening in my life right now and it's just crazy I will try to update again soon and like my other AN I posted to my stories. I will be updating this story and Shocking Revelations first before I do any others.
So here is the next chapter hope you enjoy it's a little short I'm sorry :)
Remus looked at Hermione and Harry and smiled ''I know, I'll be fine I got Teddy and you guys, I'll call Kingsley tomorrow and tell him I can't work...''
''Whoa back up who said you can't work?'' Harry and Hermione said in unison both looking at Remus like he had a second head and then looked at each other amused that they had said the same thing
Remus looked at Harry and Hermione amused as well but then frowned ''Well no one but how can I care for Teddy if I'm working-'' however he was interrupted by a irritated Hermione.
''Well you're not alone, you have me, Harry and Sirius we'll work out a plan we'll work around Teddy he wont' be alone nor will you have to stop working, we are a family we help each other out, remember the word FAMILY Remus because I will keep reminding you if I have to. You need to stop doing it all yourself, your not alone, like I said we'll help you can still work and I'm sure Andy will want to have him as well''
Harry looked at Remus and nodded ''She's right Remus, you once told me that I wasn't alone and that family didn't mean you had to share the same blood, and you also told me that family help each other, I think you should listen to your own advice.''
Hermione nodded ''Just remember your problem is our problem and there is nothing that we can't work out or talk about as a family, we got your back like you got ours.'' Hermione then straightened up ''So we move on yes''
Remus couldn't help it he laughed ''Yes we move on your absolutely right, anyway what was up with Sirius he was a lot quieter than usual looked kind of shocked actually''
Harry smirked ''Mione told him about Brian and the rest of the family, like what they did''
Remus laughed ''Oh man I could just imagine his reaction, you'll have to put it in a pensive''
Harry nodded ''Of course who do you think I am Mooney''
Hermione smiled ''Speaking of family, My nan rang she's invited us all over tomorrow, she's going to do lunch I just need to let her know if your up for it, she wants to see us all and her direct words were, I want to see that beautiful boy and to give him a big hug from her, she also wants to meet Sirius since she hasn't yet, he agreed and Harry has''
Remus smiled he liked Elaine and Brian and little Teddy adored them as well ''You know what why not, we could do with getting out of the house, and your nans cooking is amazing''
Hermione chuckled ''Well I will ring her now and let her know, we can get there for 12, I'm sure my Granddad will have the game on''
Remus grinned ''Oh yes I forgot Manchester and Arsenal''
''Oh yay so exciting'' Hermione said rolling her eyes
Remus and Harry laughed when he smirked and looked at Hermione ''So you told Sirius you love him yet''
If Hermione had been drinking she would have choked by now ''What! I don't' love Sirius''
Remus looked at Hermione and smirked ''Hermione I'm not stupid as you well know so have you told him you love him''
''I don't' love him I-'''
''Super love him, Mione it's fine you should tell him''
''H-how''
''Like I said I'm not stupid and even Harry knows how much you love him, same as he loves you'' Remus said as if he was talking about the weather.
Hermione sighed she knew it was no point in lying ''No I haven't told him nor am I going to, he doesn't see me like that Harry, he just sees me as a friend and his Godson's best friend, he would never love someone like me I'm damaged and scarred...''
''Hermione Jane Granger stop that you know that is Ronald Weasley speaking not you, it's not true none of it, yes you have scars like the rest of us, Sirius knows what it's like to suffer through a war like the rest of us, you are wonderful you would be perfect for each other you both deserve to be happy and well he would be a fool if he didn't see you any more than a friend, and I'm pretty sure he loves you as well if the looks are anything to go by''
Remus nodded ''Or the growling and glares he shoots at any guy who stops and talks to you''
Hermione shook her head ''He doesn't and it doesn't matter, One he wouldn't want me, I mean he can have any witch he likes why would he want someone plain, unattractive and as boring as me, Two I don't' want to risk our friendship I would rather have him as a friend than nothing at all and three I don't want to be laughed at''
Harry shook his head ''Ok one, who wouldn't' want you, your not boring, your gorgeous, and your certainly not plain far from it and you actually have a brain, Two even if he didn't return your affections you wouldn't lose him as a friend, it may be a little awkward at first but you'd get past it but you wouldn't have to worry about it because he will return your affections and three well that's just stupid and you know it, Sirius wouldn't laugh at you, so now we have seen that those reasons were a load of rubbish I'll ask you again why have you not told him?''
Remus put his arm around Hermione and rested her head on his shoulder ''He is right you know and I think he may feel the same way about you, just think he may be scared and worried you'd laugh at him I mean he was in Azkaban for thirteen years, he's older than you and he's probably thinking that you could never love an old ex-convict like him, It just means that you'll have to be the Gryffindor we know you are and tell him, he may be confident and act like it but he sure as hell isn't going to be the brave one this time around.''
Remus smiled ''So it' looks like you may have no choice but to live up to that Gryffindor courage and tell him how you feel.''
He said looking at her in the eye showing her with his eyes how serious and genuine he was being, he knew they both liked each other and that they were both afraid Sirius had never had a real relationship before mostly one night stands or casual affairs then he had been in Azkaban so didn't have the chance to date, then he was on the run only to be declared innocent and set free to then fall behind the Veil so he knew that Sirius would just be as scared as Hermione, he knew Hermione hadn't had a real relationship since Ron and none before him. But he knew they would be prefect for each other they would help each other.
Hermione looked at both Remus and Harry in shock ''How do you know he feels the same and that he acts all possessive of me around other men I've never heard him react like that nor glare ok so he may have once or twice but that was because he was protecting me, why would he want me when he could have any woman they fuss over him enough.''
Remus and Harry both smirked at the last part about the women fussing over him and they also knew how Sirius acted ''Hermione come on your being stupid don't' you think that if he was interested in those women he would have dated them by now think about it, he turns them down or ignores them it irritates him he may flirt but his heart isn't in it they annoy him, he constantly sits by you which irritates other men and when it's you there all over and fussing he turns all green eyed and scares them off by glaring and wraps an arm around you or touches you someway so the men back away''
Hermione thought about what Harry said and realised that she had seen him glaring at some people but didn't think it had anything to do with him ''you think?'' she wanted to be sure so she wasn't laughed at
''Yes Hermione I'm more than sure, go for it tell him be honest with him give him time to think it over it will be a shock to him because he won't expect you to want him so don't take his silence as a rejection he's still a man''
''You think it will work, because I don't want to tell him all my feelings and be laughed at''
Harry groaned ''Merlin Mione get your ass down to him and lay all your cards on the table your feelings, what you expect the lot that way there will be no miscommunication, misunderstandings or let down's and Remus is right he won't laugh at you, be honest about everything good and bad''
Hermione relaxed into Harry's hug ''You mean tell him about that year, wha-what if it disgusts him''
''It won't he'll understand I'm giving you permission to tell him, if you like we can tell Remus and Sirius together what happened on our mission, but you need to tell him the important bits'' Harry said looking at her
Hermione knew what he meant about the chance that she may never be able to have children and nodded ''I'll be honest and then we can explain to them the whole thing they deserve to know your right, we can trust them it's time to talk about it''
Remus watched them for a moment and wondered what they were going on about but heard them talking about their mission and realised they were finally going to find out the truth of that year they spent on the run.
''All I want is for you both to be happy Mione, you both deserve it and well I would rather see you bring happiness to each other I love you both Mione, and If he hurts you I will kick his arse, he may be my godfather but well it might seem stupid but your my sister and I couldn't live without you''
Hermione pulled Harry in for a hug ''I love you to Harry, I'm going to tell him your right'' she pulled back and smiled at Remus ''Your both right''
''Good now I think we should send Sirius up here to speak with you and I don't want to see you both until your together''
Hermione chuckled nervously but nodded ''Ok''
''Good, come on Remus'' Harry and Remus got up and left the library they were hoping that it all worked out
Hermione stood up and began pacing, she was nervous she would rather face Death Eaters than Sirius , she only hoped Remus and Harry were right and that he returned her feelings, she sighed she could feel her Gryffindor bravery slipping away each second that went by.
Hermione looked at the cabinet and frowned she didn't' drink much but now she decided she could use with some she walked over and quickly poured herself some whiskey knocking it back before pouring another one and doing the same, she could feel the alcohol burn her throat leaving a warm sensation and felt herself relax a little.
Harry walked into the living room first followed by Remus he smiled when Teddy rushed into his fathers arms.
Remus held Teddy in his arms and sat on the sofa with him on his lap he watched as Harry smirked at him
Sirius looked up ''So what's the next plan''
''I don't know she's left said I was to have Teddy and she'd be in touch, she's been having an affair who with I do not know and well you heard her''
