AN: Sorry guys got my hair cut today. Now I'm trying to make sure this story doesn't come across as corny. Corny stories make me roll my eyes and the last thing I would want is for that to happen with this story. Please tell me if you ever think it is becoming corny. Once again not JK Rowling.

I stayed with my parents another week helping them paint the baby's room a soft butter yellow and then I left. They understood that I belonged in the wizarding world but they were sad to see me go.

I took the Knight Bus to Grimmauld Place to surprise Sirius. Sirius and I had been sending owls to each other and I thought it would be a nice surprise. He seemed upset ever since he had a big blowout with Remus. Whatever they had fought about was bad but he wouldn't tell me what happened.

I waited till the Knight Bus was gone then let myself in. The house was cleaner than I would have thought. Someone was cursing and yelling in the basement. I frowned and made my way down the steps. Sirius was attempting to cook or at least that's what it looked like.

"Sirius?" I asked softly stepping into the room.

"Baby?" He turned around quickly holding a knife. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought I would surprise you. Are you trying to cook dinner?" I asked looking at the food on the counter.

"Yes. Ever since I sent Kreacher to Hogwarts I've been having to cook all my own food." He said glaring at the vegetables on the counter.

"What if I gave you a crash course on cooking before I head to the Burrow?" I asked stepping up next to him.

"That sounds fantastic," he said wrapping his arms around me pulling me closer to him. I shivered and he slowly pressed his lips to mine. Sirius was an amazing kisser and I almost always got lost in his kisses. I pulled away and shook my head to clear it.

"So I'll show you how to make some chunky stew." I said pulling some vegetables closer to me. Sirius watched me as I chopped and diced the different foods in front of me and threw it in a pot. He watched what I did and seemed to be taking mental notes. Once I was done with the stew I started to work on a shepherd's pie. I continued working and Sirius watched me closely.

We spent the day chatting while I cooked. He asked me about my parents and I in turn asked about the Order. Ever since the Department of Mysteries incident we were now told what was going on. Dumbledore seemed to blame himself because apparently he expected Voldemort placing an idea in Harry's head. We would have never run off to the ministry if we had been told what was going on.

"Voldemort seems to be doing more public things now. I mean look at what he did to that bridge." The death eaters had collapsed the Brockdale Bridge and it hadn't been pretty.

We continued to talk and eat late into the night. It was nice to just talk to Sirius like we had that first time. Sometime around one in the morning Tonks came in her hair a mousy brown and her eyes blank with pain.

"Tonks are you okay?" I asked staring at her.

"Fine," she said absently and sat at the table. What the hell had happened to her? She looked as if a bus had run her over.

"Do you want to talk?" Sirius asked gripping tightly to the table. Tonks' eyes started to water and she sniffled softly.

"I finally told Remus how I felt Hermione." My stomach dropped. He didn't... He couldn't...

"What happened?" I could have kicked myself when she promptly burst into tears.

"He's not worth it Tonks." Sirius said darkly. I pulled her into my arms and she whimpered pitifully into my shoulder.

"Did he give you any reasons?" I asked holding her against my side.

"Yes," she said bitterly glaring at the kitchen floor. "He said I was too young to understand any feelings I would have, that he's too dangerous, too old and too poor."

"Did you tell him that none of that mattered?" I asked watching her.

"Yes but he wouldn't listen to anything I said." She shook her head and wiped her eyes. "How did you two get past the age thing?"

I bit my lip and thought back, "I don't think we ever had that problem."

"We never did," Sirius said shaking his head. "I still feel like I'm twenty-two and I don't think Hermione ever had that issue, did you?"

"No," I shook my head. "It just felt so right I couldn't help myself. I was falling and I guess I knew that we were right for each other so I let go from holding back. So far everything is working out perfectly fine or at least I think it is."

"Oh it is Baby." Sirius said smiling at me. He flicked his wand and summoned a bottle of Firewhisky and poured Tonks a shot. She threw her head back and downed it.

"I just wish he would accept that we belong together." Tonks said clinging to me.

"I wish he did too Honey. Your great and he would be lucky to have you." She was crying again and I just held her as she cried.

"Sirius can I -" I looked up and glared at Remus when he came through the door. He cringed when he saw Tonks clinging to me as if her life depended on it. Sirius stood up from the table so fast the chair fell over.

"Get out." His voice was deadly quiet and Tonks was crying as if her heart was breaking.

"Wait just hear me out," he said putting his hands up as if to stop traffic. "Tonks?"

"What do you want Remus?" She asked her voice brittle.

"I..." He shook his head and ran his hand through his graying hair. "I think your my mate and I don't think I can stay away from you any longer."

Tonks' eyes were wide and she blinked quickly. "I love you Remus but I think we have some work cut out for us."

"I know what I said was inexcusable but I... I think we should be together if you can forgive me." Tonks' hair seemed to be changing and she slowly stood up. She crossed the room and flung herself into his arms.

Sirius looked like he was going to pull them apart but I put my hand on his shoulder to stop him. He looked down at me but I shook my head in the negative. His shoulders slumped and he leaned against me. I stood on the tip of my toes and placed my lips against his. He shivered and ran his fingers through my hair. I pulled away after a moment and turned towards Remus and Tonks. They were kissing and Tonks' hair turned to its usual bubblegum pink color.

The four of us stayed up late talking. Tonks wanted to get married but Remus thought there could be some serious problems if someone found out about it. His status as a werewolf could make things much harder for her. Sirius and I both agreed with Tonks and told Remus as such.

"Why not have what little bit of happiness you can before things get worse." I said watching them. Sirius was staring at me and he had a small smile on his lips.

"What?" I asked looking at him.

"Nothing," he said shrugging.

Remus and Tonks bickered back and forth and I frowned biting my lip. Why did this situation sound so familiar? And then it hit me. I thought the same thing about Sirius and I as Remus did about him and Tonks. My mouth was slightly open and I turned to Sirius. The last of my guard slipped away and in that moment I knew if Sirius proposed I would say yes.
