CHAPTER 42
"How do you know if he's 'the one'?" Hermione leant against the wall, Lily by her side.
"The way he looks at you. The way you look at him. They way each of you talk about each other..." Lily said "You clearly really care about him, Hermione."
Hermione sighed quietly, mind wandering back to the ball. She had had such a wonderful time. But then again... She was here for a mission, not to become love sick of her future best friend's Godfather.
"You should talk to him." Lily suggested gently "If you talk to Sirius, I'll talk to James."
A-ha. Could this be what she had to do? If Lily and James didn't get back together, there'd be no Harry and without Harry, Voldemort would never have been defeated. It was the first thing logical which could be the reason why she was here. It was worth a shot.
"I'll talk to him, then." Hermione nodded slightly
Lily smiled "Brilliant."
"Now come on, you need to talk to James."
James sighed quietly, leaning against the back of the sofa, Sirius sitting in an armchair.
"Moony said they'll take us back..."Sirius said quietly "But what if they don't?"
"When's Moony ever been wrong?"
"Right... Yeah..."
Hermione and Lily slowly walked in.
James and Sirius looked up immediately.
"Lily..."
"'Mione..." They both breathed simultaneously.
"We believe you." Lily said quietly.
"We believe that you didn't do it."
Both James and Sirius let out huge breaths of relief.
"Thank you." Sirius said quietly, standing and walking to Hermione. Lily walked over to James.
Hermione looked up quietly at Sirius, gently taking his hand "Don't ever scare me like that again..." She whispered, before kissing him softly. Fireworks exploded in her mind, in his as well. He was The One.
And then the hole in her stomach appeared.
