Sirius set silently hearing the door close he looked at his long time enemy glaring daggers. "Tell me what going on between you and my cousin now and don't dare deny it. I saw the way you two look at one another." Sirius Growled.
Remus looked between Sirius who was boiling and Severus who looked calm then to Dumbledore seeing the twinkle in his eye. Something needed to be done quick before Sirius exploded.
"I haven't touched her if that's what you're asking me." Snape told him smugly till he remembered he was in front of her father and his employer. "Shit." Severus thought to himself.
Albus set looking at Severus pointedly, though not mad. Albus's daughter technically was of age but was still Severus's student.
Sirius stood from his chair still glaring down at snape. "So you are admitting that you haven't slept with her. So what have you been doing with her?" Sirius asked waiting for his answer.
Severus remained silent.
Sirius took Severus's silence as his answer. Drawing back his arm and letting his fist connect with Severus's face making Severus come out of the chair hitting the floor.
When Sirius's fist connected with Severus's face; Remus jumped from his chair putting his arms around Sirius restraining him from going after Severus again.
"I will be damned if you will have anything to do with my cousin. She deserves more than you." Sirius said as both man glared murderous rage at one another.
"If she does want me. Would you deny her something she wants." Severus said with a smirk standing up.
"You right bastard." Sirius struggled in Remus's arms trying to break free to get his hands on Severus.
"ENOUGH!" Albus's voice rang through the room standing behind his desk watching both men come to a halt.
"Sirius, even though you are Hermione's cousin the only ones with any type of right to tell her what she should do Is her mother and myself. Even then she is of age-." Albus spoke till Sirius interrupted him.
"SHE IS HIS STUDENT ALBUS!" Sirius exclaimed at Hermione's father.
"Yes I know. I am the headmaster as well as her father. I understand how protective you are of her she has been depressed for so long. Could you deny her some she loves and that also makes her happy?" Albus asked him calmly.
Sirius went silent in his rant knowing he couldn't deny something that made Hermione happy. He loved her too much.
"If you hurt her you will deal with me. I don't want to have to pick up her pieces again." Sirius said calmly looking at Snape.
"Not to be rude black but I would be more worried about her father and mother. Who if you have forgotten is Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall." Severus said snidely.
At that moment the door of the headmasters office busted wide open as Professor sprout ran into the office. "Headmaster there's a problem in the great hall."
Everyone quickly exited the office running to the great hall.
"HARRY THEIR LIEING THERES NO WAY I WOULD RAPE HERMIONE." Ron yelled in the great hall. Hermione stood behind him in shock that he was yelling her private business in the middle of the great hall. " AND HOW DOES SHE JUST HAPPEN TO FIND OUT NOW THAT HER PARENTS OR THE HEADMASTER AND HEADMISTRESS. SHE'S A PUREBLOOD TO BOOT."
"RON SHUT UP." Harry exclaimed watch in horror as Ron yelled across the great hall. Looking up he found the headmaster, Remus, Sirius, and snape enter the hall.
"HARRY-." Ron tried again.
"Shut up weasley for once in your life." Draco spoke walking up behind harry.
"Stay out of this Malfoy. Hermione has nothing to do with you." Ron hissed as his eyes found Draco's.
Draco's eyebrows lift in slight surprise. "Really Hermione is my family and your embarrassing her." Draco said as Hermione come out of her shock. She walked forward shoving Ron to the ground.
"HOW COULD YOU. YOU JUST YELLED OUT EVERYTHING I HAVE TRIED TO KEEP HIDDEN. I NEVER WANTED ANYONE TO KNOW YOU MORON." Hermione said with tears pouring down her face.
Ron finally stopped realizing what he had done. "Hermione. Oh god I am so sorry." Ron said standing up move toward her only making him move further from him.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!"She yelled at him as Severus come up behind her steering her away from the scene and out of the hall.
Severus set Hermione outside of the hall watching her break down.
"Oh god I never wanted that known. Now everyone will think I am disgusting." Hermione said looking away from him.
"Look at me." Hermione slowly looked in his eyes. "You are not disgusting nothing about you is disgusting. Something happened to you that was terrible but not your fault. The only peoples opinions you have to worry about are from the people you care about."
"I am so broken. How do I know you won't look at me one day and figure out you don't want someone tainted like me." Hermione said as she started crying more.
"Hermione I was a death eater. You deserve better than me but I am to selfish to send you away." Snape said quietly.
"I don't want anyone but you Severus. I may be young but I am not stupid." Hermione said as her brows furrowed looking close as Severus's face seeing a faint bruise there.
"Severus what happen to your face?" Hermione asked running her fingers across it softly.
"Your cousin is a bit more perceptive then I thought." Severus grumbled at the reminder of it.
"Sirius." Hermione said already knowing who had done it.
"Ahem." Sirius stood close by looking at the two. "Snape the headmaster needs you in the hall."
Snape nodded looking back at Hermione, "Go with your cousin. I will deal with everything in the hall. Hermione I will not go anywhere I will not leave you. I will always be here for you."
"Thank you Severus and I will be dealing with my cousin." Hermione said standing up.
"I know you will." Severus looked around finding no students quickly kissing her lips before walking away. Hermione was shocked he would do that until she head his voice going into the great hall.
"Have fun with your cousin black." Severus said with a smirk walking into the great hall.
Sirius looked up finding Hermione Glaring at him "Oh shit." He said quickly.
"Oh shit indeed Sirius." Hermione motioned to the door to walk outside.
Sirius and Hermione made their way around the lake not saying anything until the a goos ways away from the castle.
"Would you like to tell me how Severus has a bruise across his face." Hermione somewhat growled at her cousin.
"Well I let my temper get the best of me." Sirius told her sheepishly.
"That much is obvious Sirius. He has been so kind to me and you hit him." Hermione said stopping and picking up some rocks throwing them in the lake watching the ripples fan out over the water.
"Why him Hermione. I know you have feelings for him." Sirius threw his own rocks into the lake.
"He has been there for just as you have. I can't help what I feel." Hermione said with a blush.
"If you wanted an old man Hermione you could have chosen Remus." Sirius said playfully.
"You know I could have but I believe Tonks wouldn't like that very much. Plus anything with Remus would be like being with you."
Sirius went to open his mouth when Hermione stopped him. "Don't you dare go into the whole pureblood thing that's just gross."
Sirius let out a barking laugh. "It was worth a try. If it meant I could get you away from him."
"He's good to me Sirius." Hermione said looking up to her cousin.
"I know I saw. As much as I hate to admit it. He is." He said not very happy about admitting that.
Hermione come up to him putting an arm around his waist as he put a arm around her shoulders. "I'll tell you what if he does happen to hurt me. I will come to you first. Giving you first shot."
"Have I told you; You are my favorite cousin?" He said tightening his arm a little.
"Yes you have. I love you Sirius." Hermione smiled to him.
"I love you to Hermione."
"I am surprised you didn't find out sooner than this." Sirius looked down at her confused. "I mean I figured Remus would have told you seeing as how he knew."
Sirius's face went blank. "He knew?"
"Yep." Hermione said popping the P as they walked back to the castle.
"Well it looks like I am going werewolf hunting." Sirius said jokingly
