When she woke up next she was in the infirmary. Poppy was bustling about making healing potions when she noticed her. "Your awake! Thank Merlin! You've been out of it for a few days now dearie. Mr. Black though has barley left your side. Except for classes and when Potter or Lupin drag him away to eat of course." She was smiling at Hermione as if it was the cutest thing she had ever seen.
Hermione looked over to see the man in question sitting in a chair. He was leaned over resting his head on his arms that were crossed and resting on her bed. He made the cutest sight that Hermione reached over, without thinking, and brushed the hair that had fallen in his eyes away. He stirred then, feeling her touch. His eyes slowly opened and, realizing his position, he blushed.
"Hi." Hermione smiled at him.
"Hey," He grinned back.

When neither of them could think of anything else to say they starred at anything but each other. It was an awkward moment before Poppy came over.
"Alright. Well, you aren't hurt and I see no reason why you can't go join everyone in the great hall for dinner. Hurry along now or you'll be late." She winked once at Hermione and bustled them through the door before turning to tend to another student currently in her care.
"So your from the future, huh?" The silence was broken by a grinning Sirius.
Hermione looked startled by the question but nodded to him. "Yea, but I don't know why or how I'm here…well I kinda know how." She avoided his questioning gaze and decided to change the subject. "But as long as I'm here I might as well enjoy it right?" She smiled at him and they entered the great hall.
She suddenly felt very self-conscious of all the people starring at her. She just realized she didn't know anyone and was terrified to be alone in this strange place. However, Sirius, realizing her predicament, grabbed her hand and pulled her along behind him.
Earlier that day Dumbledore had talked to Remus, James and himself. He gave strict instructions that no one was to know of her true identity. They were to help her along until he found a way for her to get home. As for the discussion she had fallen in upon, they now had detention for the remainder of the week. Thankfully it was now Thursday.
Sirius casually walked over to the marauders, his 'catch' in hand. Ever since the first day he had met her his friends had begun to call her 'his catch'.
*Flashback*
Sirius was needless to say shocked when a beautiful young woman literally fell into his lap. Quickly recovering he quipped, "Well would you look at what I caught." He heard James laughing and Remus grinned and remarked, "Nice catch"
*End Flashback*
When Sirius finally reached them he sat down, quickly pulling Hermione onto his lap as there was no other seats left. She gave a squeak of surprise and blushed prettily. A red head sitting across from her eyed her with a growing smile. She jutted out her hand, "Hi! I'm Lily Evans. You must be Hermione. The guys haven't stopped talking about Sirius' 'catch'."
Hermione choked with embarrassment. "Hi." She managed weakly.
"Oh! You must be tired after your trip from America." She laughed lightly, "And here I am already chatting your ear off."
"Oh no. Don't worry about it. It's nice to meet you." Hermione smiled brightly at the woman who would give birth to her best friend.
They talked merrily for the next few minutes, Hermione being very careful about what she revealed of herself. Sirius had whispered to her what they had told people about her. To everyone else it seemed as a couple deeply in love whispering nothings into the others ear. She had learned of a rumor about her and Sirius dating. Of course now she couldn't really dispute it considering her current position on his lap and the so called 'whispered nothings'. So they went along with it saying she was his girlfriend coming to visit him from the states.
Hermione secretly was enjoying this treatment immensely. However she tried desperately to hide it from herself, too afraid of being hurt. She knew that it would all end once she was returned home and that thought kept her from giving herself up entirely to her desires.
Sirius on the other hand knew what was to come but hand no intentions of keeping his desires at bay. He was determined to get her to open up to him more. So what was a man to do? Lay on the charm. And that he did.
It was latter that night when everyone was asleep in their dormitories when Sirius creped up to Hermione's bed. He sat down by her sleeping form, smiling as she instinctively curled up to his warmth. "Hermione…" He gently shook her but she did not stir. Thinking back to a muggle story he once heard called 'Sleeping Beauty' he smirked. It would certainly be interesting to find out if it works.
Sirius leaned over her, his weight on his elbows that rested on either side of her body. He was just about to close the gap when her eyes shot open. She bolted up, knocking him off her while giving them both a headache. "What are you doing?" She hissed at him.
He grinned, still rubbing at his forehead, "Trying to awaken my sleeping beauty. Now that I have your attention…" He grabbed her hand, pulling her up with him, "Come on."
"Where are we going?" Sirius, much to Hermione's surprise, had wrapped her in a warm cloak and shielded them with the invisibility cloak as they maneuvered down the corridors.
"It's a surprise." He grinned at her and picked up the pace a bit. Two staircases, several twisting paths, and a possessed suit of armor later they were at the locker rooms for the Griffindor Quidditch Team.
Sirius slipped out from under the cloak to grab a broom then hopped on. He held out a hand to her, "Get on."
Hermione eyed the broom warily and glanced back up to Sirius' handsome face, "I'm not good with brooms. They don't like me and I'm perfectly fine with my feet on the ground."
"Oh, but you see Hermione, I had plans to sweep you off your feet." And with that said he did exactly as he said he would. He swept her off her feet. She almost dropped the invisibility cloak she held tightly in her grasp from surprise.
"SIRIUS!" He laughed as she buried her face in the crook of his neck. Her nose was cold on his skin but he could feel his body warming to her. Sirius kissed the top of her head as he slowed his broom and glided softly to the ground. When Hermione looked around herself she found a beautiful garden and a pond gleaming with the stars reflection.
It was breath-taking.
