Drawn to You – Chapter 10
Hey guys, date night for Sirius and Hermione. Gonna be a little bit explosive. Remember to please review and let me know what you think
Silence blanketed the three of them as Ron stared at Hermione.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
""You're sorry!" Yelled Hermione. "What exactly are you sorry for Ronald? Are you sorry for lying to me, cheating on me not once, not twice but multiple times!"
Both Harry and the Weasley's could hear Hermione yelling and quickly made their way towards the raised voices.
"I apologized Hermione didn't you read the letter." He said.
Hermione laughed sarcastically. "Oh the letter, you want to talk about the letter! You mean the one where you told me that the other women was completely intoxicating and you couldn't stay away and that you couldn't love me as anything more than a friend? Yes I remember it!" She seethed.
"Hermione!" Said Harry "Are you alright?" He asked as he moved to her side.
"Yes. I'm fine. Let's go before.."
"Hermione, Harry" Came Mrs Weasley's voice.
"That." She finished as she grimaced upon hearing Mrs Weasley's voice. She had been hoping to avoid this confrontation but she was glad that Harry was there with her.
"How are you dear?" She said as she hustled over to hug her.
"I'm fine." She said softly. "I'm sorry, but we were just heading off. We're running late for a meeting with a friend."
"Well surely it won't matter if you're a few minutes late." Said Molly as the rest of the Weasley's greeted Hermione and Harry with hugs.
"I'm sorry Mrs Weasley but I really do have to go." Said Hermione as she turned to face Harry. I'll tell him you'll be late." She said as she walked off in the other direction, leaving Harry to talk with the Weasleys.
Molly and Arthur pulled Harry aside after he had finished speaking to the rest of the Weasleys.
"How is Hermione doing? And why was she yelling about the letter of apology?" Asked Mr Weasley.
"I uh…" Said Harry as he stuttered for words.
Meanwhile Hermione had floo'd back to Grimmauld Place shopping in hand. She saw Sirius in the lounge room book in hand. She didn't know whether to tell Sirius about bumping into Ron and the rest of the Weasleys.
"Looks like you had a successful trip love." He said as he closed his book and put it down on the table.
"Yes. I got everything I needed. "She said
"You look a bit flustered Hermione. Are you alright or is that just from seeing me?" He said as he smiled.
Hermione smiled. Maybe she would be able to get away with not telling him after all.
"Where's Harry?" He asked as he looked at Floo, half expecting him to emerge from it any second.
"Oh, he just saw someone he knew. I told him I'd meet him back here." She said, smiling softly.
"I see. Well since it's just you and I love, how a.."
"No." Smiled Hermione as she set her bags down.
"All I was going to say was how about a cup of tea?"
"Sure you were Sirius. I think by now I know how your mind works."
"Come on now love that was a bit of a low blow."
Hermione smiled and walked over to him, stopping when their bodies were a mere centimeters apart. She lent up to his ear. "And here I was thinking that came later." She said slowly as she smirked and turned and walked towards the kitchen leaving Sirius speechless.
Remus stepped out from the Floo as he saw his best friend standing their speechless, staring.
"Sirius?" He said as he remained silent. "Never thought I'd see the day where you were left speechless." He said as he followed Hermione to the kitchen with Sirius snapping out of his daze and following soon after.
"Well done Hermione, you finally found a way to shut Sirius up. Merlin I've been looking for that since we were all at Hogwarts"
Hermione chuckled. "I think the shock approach is the best one when it comes to Sirius." She said as she boiled the jug of water to make tea.
"Learn that from the twins did you." He said as he took a seat at the head of the table.
Hermione smirked as began to pour the tea into the 3 cups when they heard the Floo activate.
"Must be Harry." Said Remus as he took a sip of his tea when they heard the Floo activate and voices coming from the living room.
Hermione knew who it was as Sirius and Remus and got up to investigate with their wands at the ready. Hermione quickly got up and rushed after them as she heard the voices get louder.
"I just want to talk to her Harry. Explain that's all." He pleaded.
"Explain, like you explained in the letter that you gave her."
"She showed you?" He asked nervously.
"No, she didn't show me, but I heard what was said in Diagon Alley." Exclaimed Harry. "That was enough. I can't imagine the rest of it would be any better." He snapped.
"I can't believe you're taking her side in all of this." Said Ron surprised.
"You honestly expected me to take your side when you cheated on her!" Said Harry as Remus and Sirius entered the room followed by Hermione who Ron didn't see as she was shielded by Remus and Sirius.
"What is going on here?" Asked Remus.
"And might I ask what you are doing here?" Spat Sirius
Ron mustered up what courage he had. "I came to talk to Hermione. Explain."
"I don't think anyone wants to hear what you want to say Ron. Leave….Now" Said Sirius seriously.
"Not until Hermione listens to what I have to say." Said Ron defiantly.
"What makes you think I'm interested in anything you have to say Ronald Weasley!" She yelled as Sirius and Remus stepped aside to reveal an angry Hermione.
As Ron took a step towards her the two men moved to her side protectively. Hermione put her hand out to stop him.
"I don't want to hear what you have to say Ron! Your words mean nothing to me. Do you understand? You hurt me Ronald and to read that letter! Just stay away from. I don't want to hear from you. I don't want to see you. I don't want anything to do with you."
"Hermione" He said as he reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Remove your hand from her now, unless you wish to leave without it." Said Sirius.
"Sirius" Said Hermione breathlessly.
"You are not welcome here." Said Sirius as she grabbed Ron at the back of the neck roughly and walked him to the Floo, threw him in and yelled the Burrow and watched as Ron disappeared in a swirl of green flames.
Sirius quickly muttered a blocking spell, stopping Ron's access to their Floo.
Sirius headed back over to Hermione. "Are you alright love?" He asked.
Hermione nodded. "Yes. I'm okay." She said as Mrs Weasley came through the Floo.
"Oh I'm sorry to barge in Sirius. I was looking for Ronald."
"We sent Ronald back to the Burrow a few moments ago Molly." Said Sirius and she saw Molly look over Sirius and Hermione before averting her eyes quickly
"Oh Hermione, are alright dear. I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"
"Yes. Mrs Weasley." She said smiling softly.
"Don't you worry about Ronald, Hermione. Arthur and I will ensure he stays away from you."
"Thank you Mrs Weasley." She said.
"I don't mean to rude Molly, but we actually have some plans to attend to." Said Sirius.
"Right. Thank you Sirius. I best be off, the others should be at the Burrow." She said as she smiled.
"Take care Hermione, Harry." She said as he pulled them into a hug as Hermione forced a smile, before they watched as Molly disappeared into the Floo.
"Well that was certainly eventful."Said Remus.
"Indeed." Said Sirius.
"Well I'm not trying to dwell on it." Said Hermione. "I said everything I had to say and now I have a date to look forward to it." She said as she smiled and Sirius smiled in return.
The hours passed quickly as it came closer and closer to 7'o clock. Sirius was dressed in a Muggle combination of black dress pants, boots, a plain black dress shirt with the first two buttons open and a black vest. Hermione smiled as she came down the stairs and spotted Sirius looking completely dapper.
"Looks like your date's ready" Whispered Remus as he nudged Sirius who looked up and smiled as he saw Hermione come down the stairs. She was dressed in a deep purple v-neck dress with boots as she let her hair flow down her face and back in soft curls.
"You look beautiful" Whispered Sirius as he met her at the bottom of the stairs.
"Thanks, you look so handsome." Smiled Hermione as she looked him up and down.
"Are you ready to go love?" He asked as he extended his arm.
Hermione nodded. "Yes" She said as she took his arm and they headed towards the door.
"Have fun!" Yelled Remus from the couch.
"We will Mum!" Yelled Sirius as he opened the door and they headed out onto the street.
"So are you going to tell me where we're going?" She asked.
Sirius looked left, then right to make sure no-one was looking before turning to Hermione. "No" He said simply as he smiled as he apparated them away.
