He shouldn't be enamoured with that little swot, but he is.

Sirius shouldn't like the way Hermione's hair seems to crackle with electricity when she's angry, or how her eyes light up when she's talking about that elf nonsense.

He shouldn't like her because she's young enough to be his bloody daughter, and he definitely should not like the fact that she's a bossy, bloody alluring, know-it-all, and he can't even stand it.

And he should not be wanting to read Hogwarts: A History just because she seems to know the book like the back of her own hand.

Sirius shouldn't like her, but when has he actually followed the rules?
