I think this is quite sweet. No Lucius though but I think it's quite good.
doctor-who-mad-gal – I just love them together and I couldn't wait to get them together.
mwshk1992 – Of course it's not blackmail, my dear friend. Blackmail is telling you I'll make you pull Frank or Eric in the other story, but that isn't blackmail. How's your guardian's place?
ga-4-ever – Or maybe Hermione is a miracle? Btw you don't have to answer this but I've been wondering what does 'ga' stand for?
"Hermione what's wrong?"
She and Sirius were lying on a Gryffindor couch together, relaxing. She stilled. She knew she had been a little distant but not so much that he would notice.
"Why do you think something's wrong?"
"Because you have been distant…distracted."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. Just please tell me what's wrong."
Hermione smiled and kissed Sirius softly.
"It's nothing. It's been dealt with."
"Why won't you tell me?"
Hermione sat up.
"Why are you pushing it?"
Sirius also sat up.
"Because we can't be honest with each other if you don't tell and then what kind of a relationship would that be?"
"This isn't like you, Sirius. Has something happened?"
"How can you ask me that when you won't tell me what's happened to you, Mione?"
"Siri, honestly?"
"You can't use that word if you won't be honest with your own boyfriend."
Hermione was at a loss for words. Eventually she said,
"You're blowing this way out of proportion."
"You know what, if you won't even address the problem, whatever. I don't care. We're done."
Hermione tried to protest, but he had already stormed out. She collapsed onto a couch, not realizing that she had stood up during this argument. For a while she sat there, but then she ran to the Astronomy Tower, needing to breathe in some fresh air. She started to sob, but then a noise made her pause.
"Hello?" she called out nervously. She had left her wand in Gryffindor.
"Why are you crying Granger?" Narcissa Black's fluty voice floated out to her.
Hermione immediately went on the defensive.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Curiosity." Narcissa didn't miss a beat. She came forward into the light and Hermione noticed she too had been crying. The Gryffindor said,
"I'll tell you if you tell me why you were crying."
"Alright. You first," Narcissa agreed amiably.
The brunette grinned at the blonde beauty.
"No, no. You're a Slytherin. Most likely you'll refuse to tell if I tell you first. I'm a Gryffindor. You have my word that I will tell."
The Slytherin laughed.
"You really should be in Slytherin! Fine. I had a huge argument with Lucius because I felt he was drifting away and we broke up."
Hermione laughed, struck by the irony.
"You know, I never thought I would say this but we're quite similar. I mean I was dating Sirius, the one of the princes of Gryffindor and you were dating Lucius Malfoy the prince of Slytherin. We both argue with them because one of us is being distant and we both break up on the same night. Impressive."
Narcissa grinned appreciatively.
"Who would've thought that I would say the words I'm about to say?"
"Which are?"
"I like you a lot."
