"I can't believe I'm doing this." Hermione was freaking out. She and Sirius were had just apparated to outside the burrow and were currently walking up to the door.
"Well believe it sweetheart. This is step one in the plan." Sirius said to try and calm her down.
"Oh this plan has steps now does it?"
Sirius scoffed "Of course it does, what plan doesn't have steps? Step one: we plant the idea that we are dating in the mind of one Ginny Weasley, reporter for the daily prophet. Step two: we steal the headlines from Ron and whatever her name is. 'Quidditch Star dating Nameless Tart' doesn't even compare to 'War Hero, Gryffindor Goodgirl, and Hogwarts Bookworm dating Gryffindor Playboy, Ex-Convict, Survivor of the Veil, and the last in the line of the Most Noble House of Black'. Hermione don't worry, I'm going to have him begging you on his knees to take you back." Hermione started giggling as they reached the front door. "What's so funny?"
"You really built yourself up there." Hermione fought back another wave of laughter.
"Well it's all true." He said as he knocked. He flashed on of his charming smiles as Molly opened the door. She immediately went to hug Hermione.
"Oh sweetie I'm so glad you came."
"I'm here to Molly." Sirius said as he walked past her and into the burrow.
"Oh, yes, well, you know." She mumbled as she pushed Hermione into the house. "We decided to eat in the backyard, everyone is already out there." Hermione walked through the house and saw that Sirius was waiting at the backdoor for her. He put his hand on his lower back and guided her out the door. Ginny was the first to notice them. She was about to yell something but stopped and gave them a weird look. She shook her head and then waved them over. There was a big picnic table set up under a big white tarp. Ginny and Harry were sitting near the end closest to the door. Next to them sat Ron and Amanda. Arthur sat next to them and Molly had gone to the seat across from him and next to Lupin and Tonks. Tonks had also noticed the new arrivals and had given them an odd look. She then elbowed Lupin in the ribs. He yelped and was going to ask her why she did that but turned and saw Sirius and Hermione. Lupin gave Sirius a cold look. Sirius walked with her to the table. She sat across from Ginny and Sirius sat next to Tonks. Ron had looked up from his conversation with Harry and saw her. A look of shock was on his face before it was replaced with a smug smile as he turned to talk to Amanda. She took one look at Hermione and rolled her eyes. Ginny was smiling at Hermione with a mischievous glint in her eye.
"Oh Hermione I missed you so much." Ginny said as she reached across the table and squeezed her hand.
"Me too Ginny." Hermione said as she pulled herself up. Giving herself the needed confidence.
"We have to go out to eat soon. You have to catch me up on what's been happening." She said as she emphasized the last part. They soon started chatting about James and how work was going. Sirius looked over to Lupin.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"You know what." Lupin whispered back as he was giving Sirius a stern look. "Sirius we just had this discussion over Christmas."
"Look it's not what you think." Sirius said as he rolled his eyes and turned back to Ginny and Hermione's conversation. Harry looked over to her and smiled.
"We've missed you 'Mione." He said.
"Yes Hermione we all really have." Arthur said from down the table.
"Yes Hermione we have all missed you terribly so." Amanda said, her words laced with sarcasm. Hermione looked up with surprise.
"Excuse me?" She said. Amanda cleared her throat and shook her head. She paused and then laughed a little.
"I'm sorry, It's just I don't understand why you are here. This is a family dinner, is it not?" Amanda said as she looked at Hermione.
"Well I would have to ask you the same question."
"Hermione she is my girlfriend, we broke up so I would also like to question why you are here." Ron said as he looked at her. Amanda gave her a look that said 'I Win.'
"Ronald she is a part of this family whether you date her or not." Molly was yelling at her son but Hermione interrupted by standing up.
"No it's ok Molly, I will leave." She started to walk away and Sirius got up to follow but then she turned around. "Oh and Ronald I actually came as someone's girlfriend," and with that she left the garden. Ginny's eyes widened and she looked immediately at Harry. Amanda laughed.
"Who would date her?" She giggled and turned to Ron.
"Actually I'm dating her, and let me tell you she's completely amazing." Sirius said with a smile as he followed Hermione into the house. He ran to the front door and found she was already halfway to the edge of the Burrow. "Hermione! Wait!" He yelled. She stopped so he could catch up. "Kitten that was amazing, not the subtle hit that I wanted but your way was perfect."
"Oh Sirius she is so vile. How could he even be with her?" She turned to him and he saw she had tears in her eyes. She looked so weak, like the night he had found her outside after Ron broke her heart. So he did the same thing he did that night. He put his arm around her and apparated them both home. She let him take her upstairs and let him lay down next to her.
"Hermione you are an incredible woman, so smart and thoughtful, absolutely gorgeous. I have no idea why Ron is with that ugly petty woman when he had the option of being with someone as fantastic as you. And if it makes you feel better her laugh is horrendous." Hermione laughed and sniffed as her tears were still falling. She couldn't help it. Between Ron and Amanda being so mean to her and Sirius kind words she was emotionally confused. She would figure it out in the morning she decided as she fell asleep next to Sirius' warm body.
