Chapter eleven
Harry went to wake Hermione, and Hermione found that it was extremely pleasant to be woken by someone kissing your neck. She leaned up and kissed him back, then sat up with a groan of lingering sleepiness.
'Guess what?' Harry said happily.
'What' she said dramatically.
'Sirius and Remie are back, isn't that great, I was thinking we could ask them to take us to Hogsmeade for a day out tomorrow'.
'Cool, that would be fun, really fun, I want to get to know Sirius better anyhow, who knows' she said teasing him, 'he might be my father in law one day'.
'God I hope so' Harry muttered to himself, but Hermione heard, and smiled inwardly, she hoped so too.
She got out of bed, and followed him to the kitchen, still in her pyjamas, once there she greeted Sirius and Remus, and Harry slipped an arm casually around her waist. Sirius saw this, and also noted the way his godson had made the gesture unknowingly, just like automatically and he beamed, the pair were obviously a lot closer.
'So sit down and tell me about the rest of you summers, both of you', Sirius requested.
They sat, Hermione told him about her summer at home, and then some of her week here, and Harry told Sirius about his weeks with Dumbledore and Ron, as well as the portkeys, 'The mans a slave driver honestly Sirius he's worse than you!' Harry joked.
'Yes, I expected as much, you will have to show me your new skills a bit later' he replied seriously.
'umm, no thanks Sirius, actually we have a favour to ask'
'ask away'
'well it's just that we kinda wanted to go to Hogsmeade.'
Sirius cut across him, 'and you were hoping I might take you, right?'
'Yes, basically that's it'
'Ok, but only if you agree to duel with me this afternoon, I am rather keen to see what Dumbledores had you learning'
'That's blackmail Sirius' Harry joked, privately thinking this was quite a small price to pay. 'I know, but I assume you accept' he said wickedly.
'Yeah, sure, you win, I'll see you this afternoon, and by the way, we want to go to Hogsmeade tomorrow'.
'Ok, it's a date Harry' teased Sirius
'How did you do that?' piped up Hermione, looking at Sirius.
'Erm what' he said clearly puzzled as to what she found so amazing.
'Get him to agree to that so easily, it took me days, and even then he acted as slow as a snail, and wouldn't send anything remotely interesting my way, in fact he transfigured my wand in to a flower, and picked me up, claiming that he'd won as he'd managed to disable me, I had to agree, albeit annoyed.'
'Of course he did Hermione, I'd be disappointed at anything else, you're his girlfriend, he can't hurt you' he turned to her and then smiled wickedly before adding, 'of course between you and me, he always duels like a snail'.
'I heard that Black, boy are you for it this afternoon' Harry yelled.
'Yeah whatever Potter, later' he said smirking and walked out of the kitchen, Harry heard he say 'Jamie' just as he disappeared from everyone's sight.
He and Hermione spent the rest of the morning chatting aimlessly to Lupin, eventually they all got up as the house elves brought pasta salad and tuna mayonnaise sandwiches. Harry and Hermione helped themselves and headed back to his room.
Once they had eaten Harry magicked away the pots, and pulled Hermione into his arms for their daily dose of passion. About five minutes later they were kissing widely, entwined on his bed, when somebody not to far away said Lily flowers, and opened the door, Harry and Hermione separated themselves as quickly as possible, which took several seconds.
Sirius laughed at there discomfort, and said 'Ready then Harry, I'll meet you in the hall in a few minutes, so you'll have time to compose yourself, and cool off.'
Harry was happy that Sirius had not commented further on their situation, as Hermione already looked a little red, but soon they were laughing about while pulling there clothes straight, checking there equally messy hairs, and heading out to the corridor.
'Well look what the cat dragged in' Sirius said sarcastically.
'Yes unfortunately Black, we do have to look at you' Harry retorted.
Sirius looked up and smiled, 'I suppose I asked for that one Potter, lets get on with it, err, Hermione stand back ok.'
Hermione heeded this, as within seconds Sirius and Harry fell in their places and bowed, the sparks really started flying. It was amazing to watch thought Hermione, Harry was almost a match for Sirius, duelling so differently from what he'd been like with her, and at that moment she'd been almost glad he'd gone easy, and wondered if one day he'd have the patience to teach her how to do this.
The spells flew fast, Hermione saw that the two men in front of her were concentrating with every ounce of their minds on the task at hand. She conceded that Sirius probably could have won easily if he pulled more complex spells, but she could see some unwritten rule to stick to a certain level. Harry almost certainly knew some more powerful spells, but he didn't use them either.
Eventually it was over, and Hermione saw Harry fall to the ground, she looked very concerned and started towards him, but Sirius lazily waved his wand at Harrys unconscious form and said 'enervate'.
'Much better Harry, but I won, haha.' Grinned Sirius.
'Humm, yes, you were very lucky Black' Harry replied evilly.
'Luck, I wouldn't have thought you'd be so dismissive after I just beat you hands down' Sirius finished and everyone laughed.
'First weekend back in term time, rematch Potter, oh and do some preparation won't you'
'Whatever old man' Harry said, and led Hermione back into his room.
'Cool Harry, I am going to pester you forever if you don't teach me how to do that, you were brilliant'. Hermione gasped, then added, 'oh, are you ok by the way?'.
Harry laughed at the worried look clouding her expression, 'Don't worry Herm Sirius would never do anything that would hurt me, well not much anyways.' Then he thought about her other demand and said 'perhaps Sirius will teach you how to duel too, but be warned it took me hours to get to that level, and he still beat me, it will be a lot of extra work'.
'Yes but it would be worth it, I want to be able to stand up for myself when your not around to be my knight in shining armour' she teased, but then said more seriously, 'but I don't want Sirius to teach me Harry, I want you, and if you need a good reason, it could save my life one day.' That was it and she knew it, she'd found exactly the right spell to melt his resolve.
'Ok you win Herm, but not just yet hey, lets enjoy the rest of our holiday first' and with that he kissed her thinking that no matter what it took he would give her all the protection he could against Voldemort and co. If that meant duelling he didn't care, if she got hurt from a situation he'd refused to prepare her for then he'd never forgive himself.
