She got onto the train that was to take her to Hogsmeade
station. Once she arrived there she would go meet Sirius. He
was going to meet Hermione. Sirius was set free the summer
after there fourth year. The same year Voldemort had killed
Hermione parents. She shook that thought off. Harry and
Hermione lived with Sirius during Christmas but everyone
spent it at the Burrow. Sirius had a surprise for them this
Christmas. He was going to adopt both of them but until he
cleared it with Dumbledore he and his wife had decided not to
say anything to them. The train came to a stop. Hermione got
out of the train.
"Hello Stranger!" She gave Sirius a big hug. "I've missed you Sirius. How are the wife and kids?"
"Great. I missed you too. How's everyone. Tell me do you finally have a boyfriend yet. Are you getting married? Have you gotten married and not told your favorites Sirius?" He asked knowing already that Hermione was dating George and knew quite well the she would not get married without him knowing.
"Well number one you're my only Sirius. Number two I would not get married and not tell you. Number three no I am not engaged but yes I am dating someone. And what do you mean FINALLY!" She giggled. "Ok so maybe I haven't had a boyfriend in like forever. Okay so what."
"Whose the lucky man to win your heart my dear." They were sitting in the carriage on their way to the castle. "Do I know him? Is he good enough for my little Hermione? I don't just trust any man with my little Hermione you know." He loved teasing Hermione. She smiled she knew what he was up to.
"Of course you know him. Its George Ron's older brother and yes he is good enough for me. He treats me well and loves me. Now no going off and killing him because he hasn't hurt me and has no intentions of doing so." When they finished their conversation they had arrived at the castle. Sirius got out and offered Hermione his hand.
"Ma lady." He said trying hard not to laugh.
"Oh thank you kind gentle-sir." They both broke into laughter. They took her things up to the castle door. She put her things down.
They were then taken to her room. They went over to the Great Hall. (AN: Sirius is a teacher there and the assistant head master at Hogwarts. Just thought I'd share that with you.) They went over to his office, which was near the Great Hall. He when they got their Dumbledore was waiting for them.
"Hello Hermione. It's good to see you here again at Hogwarts. We have missed you so." He hugged the girl. "I am sure Sirius has informed you about." He stopped. Sirius was giving him a look of don't-say-a-word-it's-a-surprise-. "About the new colors of our dining room. Oh he hasn't good because we decide not to change it." He said when he saw Hermione shaking her head.
"Oh that's a shame." Said the slightly confused Hermione. She just laughed it off. "Now if you will just show me my room I guess I will unpack and then I can go to my class room to prepare for my new year." She was ready to leave when Sirius stopped her.
"No we want you to come with me. I need help with something." Sirius was acting weird she thought. O well I'll just go along with them. She went over to his office with him.
"So what did you need me to do?" she asked Sirius when they got to his office.
"Oh I don't remember. Oh well we can just continue our conversation from the carriage. When I remember I will tell you. So where were we. Oh yes that's right. I was making sure George was treating you well. So how serious are you? Living together serious or just you know whatever kind of serious? I must know. Tell me all about everything anything because if you don't Michelle will be mad at me." He laughed (AN: Michelle is his wife's name)
"Well we are pretty serious I guess. We are living together. I guess you could say that since really I'm living here most of the time." She smiled. At around 6:30 they went to the Great Hall for dinner followed by a little meeting with Dumbledore. Hermione was sitting next to Sirius and not even paying attention to the other teachers. She only noticed Snape happened to take a seat next to her. It was weird to see him again.
"Hello Professor Snape!" She gave a friendly smile. "So good to see you again."
"Hello Miss Granger." He looked away and started talking to the teacher to his left.
She went on talking to Sirius not taking the time to let her eyes roam the table to see the other teachers. She figured it was the same staff. She ate her dinner and when the last crumb disappeared form the plates they all listened as Dumbledore spoke.
" Hello and welcome to a new year for the teachers at Hogwarts. We have two weeks to get everything prepared for our arriving students. First I'd like to introduce to you our two new teachers." At this Hermione was finally decided to let her eyes roam the table.
Of course she wouldn't really completely know if they were new or not but assumed that all the old teachers were her old professors. When she searched the table her eyes stopped at a pair of eyes she knew all to well. He smiled at the girl. She was so confused. She didn't know why he was there. It was like some dream. Then she listened to Dumbledore to see what he had to say.
"We have a new Flying Instructor and a new Charms teacher. Miss Hermione Granger who was top in her class and all of you probably remember has decided to come and teacher here as our new Charms professor. Mr. George Weasely has also come to teach. Many of you remember him and his trouble-making twin Fred." Lots of teachers nodded. "Well times have changed and he has agreed to teach here as the flying instructor." He finished with that speech and went on about other things. Something about a dance for all the grades, but Hermione wasn't listening. She was trying to process the last thing she heard Dumbledore say. 'George was a teacher here' was that what she heard. She turned to Sirius. He mouthed as if he read her mind.
"Yes he is here to teach. No you're not dreaming. He wanted to surprise you." He whispered. After what seemed like forever Dumbledore ended the meeting. The two got up and Hermione ran to George once the other teachers were gone. Dumbledore and Sirius smiled. George picked Hermione up in his arms and hugged her tight.
"Surprise my love. I wanted to see you so now everyday I can see you." He kissed her. Dumbledore cleared his throat almost sorry he had to ruin the two lovers time.
"I wanted to inform you that I have given you connecting rooms which you can live in. I just ask you keep it well. Anyway so your things have been placed up in your room." Dumbledore said before he left the three to talk.
"George so good to see you. My have you made someone's day. How are your mum and dad?" Sirius asked as he greeted George with a hug.
"They're good. I'm glad to be here thank you for helping me out." He smiled a look of love to Hermione. "Sirius was in on this along with Dumbledore. I couldn't help but not tell you. I told Ginny and was so afraid she would tell you. I was so glad she didn't. I missed you."
"Sirius you were in on this. Then why were you asking me all about my "unknown" to you boyfriend? I don't get. o wait I see. I'm so happy to see you. I missed you so, so much. What about the shop and Fred?" Hermione hugged him.
"It' all okay with him and Dumbledore said anytime I need to go on weekends to visit with him I can. The merge went through. WWW is the new name. Its great we are now in Hogsmeade and every weekend when they have the trip to Hogsmeade I will go." He hugged her tighter.
"Thank you Sirius for keeping the little secret. How's everything going with the teaching? Is everything ready for the year?" George said.
Sirius smile. He was thinking about when he was younger about his high school sweet heart. Even all those years of being locked away she waited for him. He never understood why she didn't move on. But she didn't and now they were together forever. When he heard Georges voice though it brought him back.
"Oh yes everything is ready. I even got this planned for another Yule ball and even things settled for the dance for the younger children. So yeah everything is going well. I have most of my teaching ready. I keep all my lessons from the year before. That's a tip I would suggest you use for every year. It gives you less work to do. Then all you have to do is add anything new that comes up during the year. Such as when Harry defeat Voldemort it wasn't in my lesson plan but the books the students got so I just added it into my lesson plan."
"Thanks for the tip Sirius. It will come in handy. So can you show us to our room? I want to some unpacking done before I go to sleep." She said yawning. She was tired it was a long day.
"Of course Hermione. This way please." They talked as they followed Sirius up to the third floor to which he took them to a room. It was off a little from the classrooms. It was a big two bedroom almost apartment. They had a common room and two rooms and on bathroom. They loved the room. It was perfect. They thanked Sirius.
"After breakfast I will show you your classroom and your office. If you need anything you know where my rooms are Hermione. The password is butternut." He kissed Hermione on the cheek and wished them a goodnight. He was off back downstairs to his room. He wanted to write to the Weasley's to let them know they were okay and to see how Harry was. He also decided to poke his head in at the house. Back in Hermione and George's room they started to unpack their things. They put their clothes in the closets and dressers. Hermione had to take one of George's draws because she had more things then him. She put her dress robes in there because she really didn't need them all the time. When they both finished packing they went to the common room to set up the pictures they brought from home. They had so many pictures it felt like home. She picked up one of them kissing in George's seventh year. They were playing truth or dare.
Flashback
"Hey lets play truth or dare." Came the voice of the young Weasley twins. They all sat down in the common room on a rainy Friday.
"Hey Hermione come join us. Please?" said George.
"Okay not like I will be able to get work done with all you making noise." She sat down on the floor next to her two best friends.
"I'll start said April. Hermione truth or dare?" she smiled at her one if Hermione chose dare.
"Dare." 'Oh no maybe I shouldn't have said that' thought Hermione. 'Oh you need to live Hermione' came a little voice in her head.
"I dare you to.to kiss to kiss George." She smiled. She knew Hermione liked George. Hermione blushed. 'Oh no! I can't do this.' She thought 'Hell Hermione yes you can. You better you know you want to.' Said that little evil voice. She walked over to George. He was red in the face. It was quite cute. His ears were red and that was really sexy. 'You did not just think about your best friends brother being sexy' she thought. She leaned in and kissed him. At that there was a flash. April had a camera and had taken a picture of them kissing. Hermione pulled away. She was blushing.
" Ok umm Harry.. Flashback ends
Hermione put the picture down. She was filled with happiness. She remembered that kiss oh to well. George was staring down at her. He leaned in and kissed her like he did that day. Hermione pulled him in to deepen the kiss. He let her tongue explore his mouth. (HEHEHE PG-13)
"Hello Stranger!" She gave Sirius a big hug. "I've missed you Sirius. How are the wife and kids?"
"Great. I missed you too. How's everyone. Tell me do you finally have a boyfriend yet. Are you getting married? Have you gotten married and not told your favorites Sirius?"
