Sirius Awakes
Sirius awoke; for a few minutes, he had no idea where he was, so he closed his eyes again. He felt a heavyweight on his feet, ah, Camellia. Someone was sitting by his side, a soft finger traced the tattoo on his chest. He smiled, opening his eyes slowly.
"My name, you had my name magically tattooed. It has my face. When did you get it?" Hermione's voice sounded like molasses, going straight to his cock. He rather wished her hand was there instead.
Sirius reached for her hand and bit her finger, looking right into her eyes as he twirled his tongue around it. He saw her breath shudder.
"If I tell you, you will think I was a pervert, will you?" Sirius wanted to know.
"No, it depends," Hermione waited, looking at his other tattoos, tracing each with her finger. She liked his soft moans; moreover, she was high on her power to make him needy.
"I had it done the day before the Department of Mysteries battle. Even though I'd decided to stay single, I knew you were my witch." With those words, he pulled her towards him. Quickly, Hermione climbed on him.
"So am I a pervert?" Sirius asked again.
"I don't think so; after all, I had a huge crush on you, the biggest ever. It's very sexy, and I'm flattered." While she talked, Hermione's hand caressed his chest.
Sirius's hands moved restlessly along her back until settling on her bum. His hips pressed up to feel his aroused sex against hers; Hermione wanted the same, half straddling him; she enjoyed making him moan louder. Hermione kissed his neck, moving down, biting and licking, from his neck to his nipples and back to his neck while pressing down on his erection and moving with him. His loud moans, for her, made her more daring. Hard to believe, but this was Sirius moving against her, and his face showing his lust for her. Gods, she wanted him now. Maybe to make him come in her mouth, and he could do the same for her.
Hermione wanted more. This wasn't enough. "Sirius, this feels good, but could we try something? After all, we are bonding today. Not quite a marriage but good enough in case a baby should happen; so tell me, should we try?" Miss Temptress suggested.
"Anything," Sirius was ready. Camellia, who was under the couch, hopefully not stuck, woofed. Sirius thought he heard a small voice whisper, "You will be in trouble, stop." If it were real, he didn't listen. He was deaf to all but Hermione. His hands started pulling up her dress, "I like your robe." His husky voice ran thru her like fire. His breath hitched as he felt her hand moving inside his trousers.
Somebody was at the Floo, "Ah," Hermione grinned, "saved by the Floo, unfortunately," swiftly standing up and fixing her clothes.
In the Floo, she saw Fleur and Luna's upside-down images, "Just a minute; Sirius is still in bed. I can only stay for a short while. You can stay shopping with Molly Sorry for taking so long; let me say goodbye."
Luna grinned, "Take your time," she winked at Hermione, licking her lips.
Hermione walked back to the couch, "Sorry, we are going shopping with Molly. Just for a short while, I promise my mother I wouldn't take long. She is going away for a week with Sergio, good for her. I also need a few things." She bent and pecked his lips. "Too bad," she whispered, quickly sliding her hand inside his trousers and putting her hand on his cock. He shuddered when she squeezed him lightly, "I wish, " she said, pulling out her hand quickly. With those words, Hermione was gone.
"Bad witch," Sirius smiled; he liked the bad witch. Camellia came out from under the couch, reminding him that she needed to go to the loo. He followed her, thinking she wanted to go outside. He was wrong. She went into a small room equipped with a complete loo modified for Camellia, though she needed help flushing. "Crazy girl," Sirius chuckled. Camellia was ready for breakfast after he helped her brush her teeth.
Sirius was having too much fun with the unusual Camellia. Plus, he was high on Hermione. If not for a couple of thorny issues, his life was finally perfect.
He found Kreacher busy in the kitchen. The elf wore a fancy smock which had a big 'B' embroidered in gold cord. "Yous, out of my kitchen. I has all the things I gots from yous house. My Lady tolds me to take all of them and yous father said to put them here."
"My father? Ah, yes, Lucius, I remember." Sirius grimaced. Lucius was one of the thorny issues; he still didn't want to be a Malfoy. Okay, he wasn't actually Lucius, but close enough. "Fix two breakfasts, please, one smaller," Sirius asked.
Camellia went to Kreacher and licked the house-elf's face. Sirius waited for Kreacher's angry fit that never came. Kreacher announced, to Sirius's surprise, "Miss Cami can stays here; she be a lady." Kreacher gave her a small piece of bacon.
Sirius left, shaking his head; Kreacher was full of surprises. Sighing, he looked around the place, not really a cottage per se, more a large upscale home. He saw rugs, vases, furniture and more, from Grimmauld; Kreacher was one smart House-elf. Kreacher was indeed full of surprises, good ones. He would ask him where the paintings and the Black library were now located. He didn't want the Potters to have access to the latter or the potions lab. He was troubled, thinking of what could happen should either fall into the wrong hands.
Betrayals
Hermione was still angry with Ron and Harry. They'd caused a horrible scene in Diagon Alley when she was out with Luna and Fleur; thank goodness Molly was inside a shop buying Sergio a gift. They both spewed out ugly lies and accusations. Bill would kill Ron when he found out. Ron swore that Bill probably helped her rescue Sirius, using dark magic. Harry screamed horrible lies about Sirius and her, making Sirius into something he wasn't.
She sat in an outdoor restaurant waiting for Sirius; she needed a hug. She still loved Harry and Ron. She supposed she always would, but having them screaming at her in front of strangers hurt. She wished she had gone with her mother instead, but she also wanted to buy Sirius a gift.
Sirius saw her and waved his hand, but by the time he arrived, she had already sunk into a dark mood. Neither saw a cloud of reporters coming at her nor did they see the Aurors led by Harry, right behind them. Ginny looked on, happy to see her plan working. Once her enemies were in Azkaban, someone would get rid of them once and for all. Cami disappeared from the area, going for help.
When Sirius saw the Aurors and reporters, he felt boiling anger. He wished he could call upon whatever gifts he had. He looked at his hands; his nails were black claws, and the skin looked red. He took a deep breath to calm down. He would not let Hermione get hurt, not over this. To make him angrier, he saw Rita Skeeter taking pictures. At the first chance he had, he would take Hermione away.
"Okay, we can play their game for a little while," Sirius explained to Hermione. He let the Aurors put them in magical restrains and take their wands away; they didn't need them, Sirius hoped.
At the MoM, Hermione was listless. Both Ginny's hatred and Harry and Ron's betrayal weighed heavily upon her. "I can get us out of here, but you need to help." Sirius prompt her. But Hermione wouldn't answer since she no longer cared what happened to her. In her mind, all she could see and hear were Harry and Ron yelling ugly lies. Now, she understood how Merlin must have felt after Arthur's lies and betrayals.
Surprisingly, Ron came to the MoM with Bill. He was ashamed for helping Ginny and Harry. He had no idea the Aurors were there listening, waiting for Sirius to show up. He came to explain this was a scheme concocted by Ginny and how he had gone along. Ron submitted a memory to back his claim. At the same time, Merlin, in human form, came to rescue them with Lucius, arriving only minutes before they were to be sent to Azkaban. Sirius was frantic because he needed Hermione's cooperation to escape.
Ron's testimony wasn't necessary since Lucius had already reported what happened. Besides, Merlin was controlling the judges' minds.
When the Aurors removed the magic shackles, Merlin lifted a listless Hermione into his arms. His righteous anger made everyone around them sick. He knew what the personal betrayal of those you loved felt like. Dealing with enemies' hatred was one thing; it was toxic, but it was nothing compared to feeling the hatred or the betrayal of those you cared for; it was pure poison. Merlin left to take Hermione to her parents; he would come back to meet them afterwards.
Anyone who attempted to take photos found their cameras melted inside; it was their punishment. As for Rita Skeeter, she had been changed into a bug, against her will. She was scurrying and hiding, unable to revert to human form though she tried desperately. She kept hearing a voice, "I warned you. Hopefully, you will survive the next day or so. Bugs can get eaten or crushed by a passerby so easily."
Sirius asked Lucius to accompany him to Grimmauld. He wanted Harry out right away; that very moment was not soon enough. Harry wouldn't get half of his vault, not even a Knut. He wanted a full accounting of the renovation work. He would only pay for the work he deemed necessary He Floo'd Kreacher to ask for his help, who gladly complied. Merlin wanted to go as well.
Unfortunately, the damage was already done. The rumors had spread all over the place. Some said Sirius had been Hermione's lover since before the Veil, taking advantage of the young witch. Ginny was glad to repeat the lies. She went too far, though, lying about Hermione. According to Ginny, at that time, Hermione hid a pregnancy and much more.
When Ginny returned to Grimmauld, she was surprised to find three uninvited guests. Sirius sat by the fire with Lucius and an unknown wizard wearing a cloak, covering half of his face. The air was oppressive as angry magic flew all over the place, stinking of burnt flesh.
"This is still my home. You need to be invited," Ginny walked to Sirius, enraged. As she noticed Walburga's painting resting on a chair, she cringed. "How? I thought she couldn't be moved."
Sirius ignored the last question, "I do not need to be invited into my own house. I am not dead; hence I must be the trespasser; I checked with my brother's solicitor. By the way, Lucius is my half-brother; we found it out yesterday."
"It figures, the holier-than-thou Walburga had a lover, ha. It doesn't surprise me; Blacks are rubbish, bad and crazy. The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, like mother like son," Ginny smiled nastily.
Both Lucius and Sirius said, "Oh, oh," they looked at each other and smirked. Ginny had called Cerberus' wrath; they wouldn't have long to wait.
Sure enough, the scent of eucalyptus and other aromatic woods and leaves filled the room, and a red giant appeared in front of Ginny. "A word against Wally is punishable by death," the giant declared. Camellia, who sat on the cloaked wizard's lap, jumped down and growled at Ginny, then jumped into Cerby's arms, snarling and snapping, while looking at Sirius for permission to maim 'bad Ginny.'
"A demon, I knew you were dark. Harry will be here in a minute, and you, Sirius, will be on your way to Azkaban for consorting with demons. So no surprise there, after all, Sirius is both a Black and a Malfoy." Ginny said whatever she wished. She wasn't afraid of them.
"Mrs. Potter, you are either daft or a foolish which. Either way, you don't seem to realize the danger you are in," Lucius drawled. "Be advised, if you continue to plot against either my brother or his bride, your future in the Pureblood society is forfeited. That is if you are still alive." Lucius smirked.
The cloaked wizard stood up; he was angry. Ginny's mouth tasted terrible, and she was afraid. "You have tried your best to hurt my cousin, our baby Hermione. It is time I stop you once and for all." The wizard told her.
Cerberus said much of the same.
"No, neither of you does anything. Why get in trouble over her? I have sent all their belongings to the old Potter home. Kreacher and his cousin took care of it. My vault is no longer available, and the Potter vault has been frozen until we can determine how much of my vault was used to pay for the renovations. I will pay for those I approve. At that time, Ginny will again have access to her husband's vault." Sirius stood up by Merlin.
The portrait showed a different Walburga from the one minutes before. "Ginevra Potter, you lied to Mr. Potter, and using forbidden magic, you got him into your bed. You were not pregnant; Cerby found out. When you told Mr. Potter you lost the baby, you lied. There was no baby to be lost. You wanted him to leave Mimi; his lost my gain, now, she will be my daughter. You might be pregnant now, but, clearly, Mr. Potter would be unhappy to…"
Ginny pointed her wand to hush Walburga, but her wand turned into a hissing snake; Ginny screamed and threw it away.
"You have to leave this home by the count of ten." Sirius stood up, pointing his wand. He noticed his black fingernails, not that he cared. He wondered what else he could do to Ginny. Every time he remembered his witch's sad face, it made his blood boil.
"I am not leaving; you cannot make me." Ginny made a stand.
"I must say, you are making Bellatrix sound nice, and that is saying much. You don't even have manners," Walburga huffed, "Cerby, darling, take her to see where Bellatrix is. Mrs. Potter will probably end up there, and she might like to see her future residence."
