DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter. I only own the plot. However, I am currently trying to kidnap Sirius and stuff him in my closet! Don't tell, it's a secret!

Hermione lost all thought as she looked in her room. She was speechless. Her room was exactly how she pictured her dream room to look. (AN: Okay, I'm too lazy to describe the room. You can use your imagination! Hehe!)

"Will this do?" Sirius asked Hermione, somewhat nervous. He didn't know if her silence meant that she didn't like the room at all or if she loved it. Obviously, he didn't know because this hadn't ever happened to him before.

"This will more than suffice. Merlin, Sirius, this…" The normal know-it-all didn't know what to say.

'Okay, I guess she likes it.' Sirius unconsciously smiled. 'I had hoped she would.'

"Alright, I will call you down for lunch and I will leave you to unpack. Bathroom is down the hall and to the left, and the kitchen is downstairs. I'll see you soon." And with that Sirius walked out and shut the door softly.

Hermione had finished unpacking her belongings and grabbed her shower things to go freshen up before lunch. As she was taking her shower, she was thinking of her parents. 'If my parents were still alive, I would be with them. Mom would be sitting on the living room couch reading the newest book from the bookstore, and Dad would have his head in her lap watching the television. I would be on the floor reading Hogwarts: A History for the thousandth time, trying to memorize the entire book; front cover to back cover. And…' Hermione's thoughts slowly started to cease as her entire body racked with sobs.

She slid the shower door over and stepped out to dress in her robe while still crying. Her vision was blurry, making her fumble with the sash of her robe. She gathered her items and quickly walked to her room. She accidentally slammed her bedroom door. Hermione ran to her bed and sobbed in her pillow.

SLAM!

'What was that?!' Sirius thought. Alarmed, he ran up the stairs two at a time. He reached her door and grasped the knob. 'Wait, I had better knock, but, on the other hand, she may be in trouble. Oh well.' He barged in. "What happened?" were the first words out of his mouth. Then he stopped. 'She's crying.'

"Hermione?" Hearing Sirius's voice, she quickly sat up and hastily wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her robe. She didn't want to cry in front of him. Her wants weren't being fulfilled however, because her eyes were still leaking moisture. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm okay." 'Well, that was a stupid question you moron.' Sirius thought to himself. 'Of course she's not okay. She was crying.' He walked to her bed and sat down next to her. He pulled her into a hug and started to slowly rub her back.

"It will be alright." Sirius said in a soft calming voice. "I know it hurts. The pain will go away; it will take awhile. Please stop crying." Hermione's tears slowly came to an end. Sirius continued to hold her even after her tears ceased. Sirius whispered softly in her ear, "Hermione?" He looked down at her. She had fallen asleep. Her shallow breathing was a big indicator. 'So much for lunch.' he thought as he readjusted her on the bed and pulled the covers over her. He kissed her forehead and quietly left the room.
