I have finally updated. Check out my new stories too.

The next morning, Lucius, Draco, and Severus were absent from the beginning of breakfast, making Snape and Malfoy give suspicious looks to the innocently eating Gryffindors. The absence was soon explained as the three Slytherins could no longer refuse their stomachs and walked in with their pink tutus, keeping their heads down. The Great Hall erupted with laughter, especially the Gryffindor table. Even the Head Table was enveloped in laughter, well, except Snape and Malfoy.

            When everyone calmed down a bit, Dumbledore stood up to make an announcement. "Everyone, I would like to say something. I would just like to say that your classes, the ones that are taught by a professor from the future that is, will be taught by both your normal teacher and the visiting ones. After all, we wouldn't want them to get bored, now would we?"

            "Why not?" asked Hermione aloud. Sirius responded by throwing an apple at her head from his seat at the Head Table. She dodged it and faked shock. "Why Sirius! Don't you love me anymore?" She added a few fake sniffles both for effect and to stop her from laughing.

            "Of course I still love you, my dear Hermione."

            "Prove it."

            He stood up. "I, Sirius Orion Black, do now proclaim my love to one Hermione Lynn Granger forever." He bowed and magically sent a bouquet of roses, which he knew were her favorites, to her table directly in front of her. But he wasn't done yet. Coming down to stand beside her chair, he dropped to his knees, took one of her hands in one of his, and looked up at her with eyes full of mirth. "Can you ever forgive me, my love?" he asked. He kissed the back of her hand for effect.

That did it for Hermione. She let loose the laughter she had been holding in, barely managing an, "of course, dear one," before dropping back into laughter. Sirius joined her, and so did everyone else nearby. But someone did not enjoy this display.

"Oh, how touching. I think I feel a tear coming on. No, wasn't one." It was Draco, of course. Everyone stopped laughing to glare at the blonde Slytherin sneering at them.

"Shut up, ferret," Hermione said.

"What are you going to do about it, Mudblood?"

Immediately Hermione had to hold on to Harry and Ron to stop them from pounding the younger Malfoy into the floor. "He's just a Malfoy, guys, he isn't worth it," she tried to tell them. But in all this she had forgotten Sirius, who had changed into his dog form and was now attacking Draco viciously. He soon changed back into his human form, punctuating his threatening words with punches. Hermione finally calmed the boys down long enough to go and drag Sirius off the ferret. It was hard because he was stronger than her and really wanted to kill him, but she finally got him back to the Gryffindor table. "Sirius, sit down and for goodness sake, calm down." Finally he calmed down somewhat and sat. "What are you lot looking at? Go back to your meals." The Great Hall returned to normal, with many glances at their new professor. Some of them were wondering what their classes with him would be like, but most just decided both not to get him angry and not to mess with Hermione because he would get angry and so would the other boys with her. For a single morning, it was interesting to say the least.
