Who Would Have Thought It

Chapter 7 So Close

Hermione's P.O.V

I feel someone waking me up; I open my eyes to see Ginny.

"What time is it?" I ask sitting up,

"4.30,"

"What?" I say wondering why she has woke me up so early, I'm about to ask when I hear a noise follow by mumbling next door. "What's that?"

"I think Sirius is having a nightmare," Ginny answers, "I didn't know what to do."

We get up and make are way next door from are rooms which were Sirius's bedroom is, I quietly open the door careful not to make it creak.
I see him in his bed, sheets only covering the bottom half of his body, showing off his chest.
He's twisting and turning in his sleep mumbling something I can't quite make out.
Ginny pushes me into the room, I turn to say something but she puts a finger to her lips to silent me and leaves closing the door.
Great, now what?! I turn back to Sirius; I think he looks good with that black shirt on yesterday but without it is a whole different matter.
I stop my thoughts going any further and go to the edge of his bed, sitting down carefully.

I should wake him, "Sirius," I say softly, "Wake up,"
I place my hand on his shoulder to shake him slightly, god his skin is soft!
"Sirius, please wake up," I try again.


Sirius's P.O.V

I feel someone touching my shoulder; I wake up suddenly, sitting up.
I see her there, she was just in my dream, and I was scared of losing her.

"Hermione," I half ask,

She looks scared but also concerned, "You ok?"

Am I ok? Apart from the fact I was yelling I love her in my dream and that I'm having feelings I shouldn't have, yeah I'm ok.
"I suppose," I answer, "What you doing in my room?"

"Oh, well I heard you..from my room," She stutters "And I thought.. that, I should see if your ok,"

I love it that she cares about me, even if she only thinks of me as her best mates godfather.
I notice that even in the morning she looks lovely, her hair is down which I prefer. It's rare these days; it's usually up.

"Thanks," I say when I realize I have been starring at her for the last few minutes,

"It's ok."


Hermione's P.O.V

Why is he looking at me like that, he can't feel the same way, could he?
We are to close, just like the other day, "I should go,"

I go to stand up, but feel Sirius grab my arm, "No, wait," he cries as he slowly make me sit back down.

What I supposed to stay? I really don't know. He's your best friends godfather my brain yells out.
But my heart is saying something different as I look into his grey eyes, do I love him?
I start to panic slightly as I notice he's closer than before, too close.
If he gets any closer I would feel his breathe on my skin,

His hand that was once on my arm makes it's way up slowly to my cheek, rubbing it with his thumb.
This can't happen, shouldn't happen I try to tell myself as I close my eyes to his touch.
I should make an excuse and leave, but I can't bring myself to do it.
I gradually reopen my eyes to see he's even nearer, I look away from his eyes to glance at his lips.
They seemed so soft and welcoming.
This is when I realize no one was going to come in, no one to disturb us. It's still so early in the morning and no one is up or about.


Sirius's P.O.V

I want to kiss her, I know it's wrong, but it feels right.
I love being this close to her; I have been graving it ever since the other day when we were in a similar situation.
We are only a couple inches apart; I can feel her body, her breath.
Smell her perfume, feel the heat from her body.
How wrong would it be just to go a few more inches closer and feel her lips against mine?

All of a sudden the front door opens with a bang, my mother's portrait screams follow.
We fall apart, my hand falling from its place on her cheek and her standing up from where she was sitting on my bed.
We share one last look before she leaves.

Inky74 - Thank you so much!
One thing I always worry about is getting the characters right,
especially in the situations I write them in.

RadicalReason - That's one thing I always wonder about also.
It is a toss up, maybe he would of been to busy being a prankster to notice,
Maybe he would of noticed her, especially if she hanged out with Lily.
