Her eyes fluttered open; and she looked around. The surrounding was familiar but she didn't know where she was. That was when she realized someone's arm was wrapped around her protectively. Looking up she say her raven-haired best friend. A smile spread across her face and she snuggled up closer to him; closing her eyes once more.

She opened her eyes again, remembering how she got here in the first place. Her father. Groaning, Hermione moved as gently and quietly as possible out of Harry's arms. She placed a pillow where she once was, and Harry snuggled up to it. It was all she had left to stop from laughing at that exact moment. She smiled a sad smile and left his room; heading for the kitchen.

When she arrived, Harry's godfather Sirius Black was making breakfast. The smell of buttered toast, scrambled eggs, and pancakes filled the hair and Hermione's mouth watered. It had been so long since she had had something so good. "Morning sunshine." Sirius said happily from the stove. He was wearing an apron that said, 'kiss the Wizard' and a wand printed on the front of it. "Morning," She said tiredly and took a seat at the dinner table.

"Did you have a good sleep?" He asked her; as he poured Hermione orange juice. "Yeah, the best I had in years actually." She took a sip of the Orange Juice and nearly fainted. It was so good. "Why don't you go wake up that lazy boy for me?" He said and smiled. Hermione returned his smile and walked up the wooden stairs; back to Harry's room. Before she could open the door it burst open and Harry came out; panting and sweat on his forehead. "Oh my god! Your okay!" He said relived and grabbed Hermione in a tight hug so she couldn't breath.

"Ofdorsarry" She mumbled against his chest. He released her and held her out to arms length. "I woke up and you were gone!" Hermione smiled and hugged Harry. "I am fine, and thank you." He hugged her back much more gently than the first one. "What are you thanking me for?" She shrugged, "For caring." When she released him he grinned. "Oh, that's not why. I was wondering who was going to make me breakfast this morning...Ow!" Hermione socked him in the arm playfully. "Mr. Potter, you are so not funny." They both started laughing and Hermione remembered why she came up here. "Oh yeah, Sirius is making breakfast! Last one to the table is a rotten egg!" She yelled and took off down the hallway, Harry running after her.

He had longer legs and he ran faster than her. When he caught up with her he grabbed her by the arm; wanting to get first. But Hermione gasped, and went into a flashback.

***FLASH BACK***

"Come here bitch!" Her father screamed, and grabbed her arm tightly; throwing her into the wall. She fell to her knees, and he raised it foot to kick her. And Did. Hard.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

"Hermione?" Harry's panicked voice yelled as he shook Hermione, who seemed to be in another world. She was trembling, and whimpering in fear. She fell to the floor; on her hands and knee's gasping for breath. Her whole body shook as tears started to pour down her face.

"Mione!" Harry kneeled beside her, taking her in his arms. He rubbed her back and pushed the hair out of his best friends face. Her eyes were closed; and she was starting to breath normally. Some how, Harry's touch calmed her. He ran his fingers over her forehead and through her hair again, whispering comforting words to her.

Footsteps thundered up the steps and Sirius came into view. "Harry? What happened?" His voice was filled with concern and worry for Hermione. Harry looked down at the girl in his arms and then back at his godfather. "I don't know." His voice was low and worrisome. She had stopped trembling by now, and was breathing normally. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked around her. Hermione looked up and saw Harry looking down at her, his bright green eyes wide. "I. I'm sorry...Harry." Her voice was a whisper; and she wasn't sure they heard her. "Hermione? Dear are you alright?" Sirius asked as he kneeled down in front of her. She smiled weakly and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just need to be alone for awhile."

Harry let her go and Hermione walked into his room; and shut the door behind her. She walked to the window and opened it, letting the cool morning breeze blow on her. Tears came into her eyes, and she whipped them away. She knew she scared Harry and Sirius when she freaked out; but she couldn't help it. When Harry grabbed her, it popped into her head. Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in," She called and the door opened to reveal Harry who looked worried once again. Hermione smiled the best she could, but it turned out to be very weak. Sighing, she sat on his computer chair. "Are you okay?" He asked her, sitting on the bed looking at her. She nodded slowly; not able to look at Harry. "I'm sorry Harry...I didn't mean to freak out on you like that. When you grabbed my arm...I just, I don't know. My father grabbed me like that once and it just came rushing back." Harry got up from the bed and walked over to his best friend. "You don't need to be sorry. It's not your fault your fathers a bastard. I swear if I ever get my hands on him I will do more harm to him than the Unforgivable Curse." Hermione giggled, "Thanks Harry. I am hungry. Did Sirius finish breakfast?" Harry nodded and grinned evilly.

"Hermione, when you talk to him call him Uncle Si, k?" She looked puzzled for a second then nodded, not even going to ask why. "Okay, lets go see Uncle Si!" Grabbing Harry hand Hermione fled the room.

When they came downstairs, Sirius was placing three plates on the table and getting out the silverware. "Hey Uncle Si!" She yelled and hugged Sirius. He laughed and hugged her back, smiling. "Are you feeling better Mione?" Nodding, Hermione took her seat next to Harry. When the table was set and everyone had food they began to eat. "Remember to set up the guest rooms Harry." Sirius told him after he swallowed some pancakes. "Guest Rooms? Oh...Draco!" Harry said and slapped his palm against his forehead. "I bloody damn forgot!"

"Watch your tongue Harry, and yes. You did forget. He is coming in a few hours." Hermione's eyes widened. She had too forgotten about Draco coming here. Shifting uncomfortably in her seat, Hermione looked up at Sirius. "Why is he coming here again?"

"Oh, when his dad was sent to Azkaban, he died and His mother went along with him. The rest of his family is dead, and I am the only living relative of his mothers so he has to come here. I trust you two will behave? Maybe he might turn out how your least expect him too." Sirius said, giving the 'you best behave yourself or I will not let you have desert' kind of look at both teenagers and he laughed. "Lets clean up, it's almost time."

Hermione and Harry ran around getting everything ready for Draco to arrive. She helped Harry do both guestrooms and the bathrooms. "All set?" Hermione nodded, happy with her work. "All set." Just then the doorbell rung; and Hermione exhaled. She sent a look at Harry and Sirius as she gripped the doorknob, twisted it and opened the door to reveal...
