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.

Letters to the Past

Chapter Three

By Ichigo

"It's gorgeous!" Hermione breathed as she slowly got to her feet. Her eyes gazed around her in awe and she was suddenly very grateful to Sirius for sharing it with her.

"At the risk of sounding corny: You, Hermione Granger, are the gorgeous one." Sirius tucked a stray hair behind her ear and grinned at her.

Hermione smiled and decided that for once in her life she would throw caution to the wind. Standing slightly on tippy toes Hermione brushed her lips against his. It was barely a kiss and she pulled back the tiniest bit, allowing Sirius to take the next step. Oh and he did!

Sirius bent over her, one hand upon her neck, urging the kiss on, the other hand splayed across her lower back, keeping her pinned to him. He softly slipped his tongue across her bottom lip and was rewarded when Hermione moaned in the back of her throat, a fact he was sure she wasn't aware of at the moment. Sirius nibbled on her bottom lip before sucking on it lightly.

Hermione however had other plans and slipped her hand inside his outer robes. She slid them up the back of his shirt, desperate for some kind of contact. When she moved her hands a little lower Sirius growled and ravished her mouth as if he had been holding back. He backed her into a tree, lifting her slightly so she had to wrap her legs around him to keep from falling. Sirius grunted in approval of the position and let his hands trail down her sides, skimming her breast ever so slightly.

Hermione gasped into their kiss and arched into him when she felt the contact. With the kiss broken, their eyes met. They could clearly see the desire they held for one another. Both were panting hard from their activities. Hermione, with her legs still wrapped around him, could feel the evidence of his desire and was a little shocked despite herself. Sure she had snogged before but this was far beyond a snogging session. This was passion. Full blown, fire in his eyes, satin electricity in his touch, and a finale to top them all. But was it love?

Hermione had pushed him away after that thought. It was impossible for him to love her. Even if they were the same age now and the fact that he was 'Harry's Godfather' was at least two to four years from now.HE had only known her for a mere week. You can't fall in love in a week. Hermione had excepted that she loved him but for her it had been more than a week. Were they ready for this kind of commitment? Was that word even a thought in his mind?

"Take me back." Her voice shook with emotion and Sirius just stood there dumbfounded. What had he done?

"Hermione.I'm sorry.I-" He couldn't find the words to expresses how sorry he was for something he had no clue as to what it was. She saved him the trouble of figuring it out however.

"Look, Sirius. This is wonderful, your wonderful, but-" Hermione tried to get the words past the lump in her throat.

"But?" He felt as if he were dying inside. That one word, one syllable, could ruin his hopes and shatter his heart.

"But I can't.now with someone who doesn't love me. I just couldn't." Hermione interrupted him when she saw him open his mouth to speak, "And lust is not the same as love." Seeing his shocked expression she turned away from him, "Seeing as how I've probably just scared you off can you please just take me back to Griffindor Tower?"

Sirius walked up to her and wrapped her arms about her, a smile playing on his lips. "I don't know if I can. You see, I brought you out here for a reason and I can't let you leave until I've finished."

Authors Notes: I love you guys so much! Thanks for all the reviews you don't know just how happy you've made me! (isn't that a song?.*shrugs*) I was so flattered and I feel so loved that I just HAD to write more! Lol. ^_- Love ya!

P.S. I'm currently building a website for Hermione/Sirius fan fictions. I first need to get the authors permission and then organize and beautify everything. I'll let you know when it's up and running though.
