Hermione giggled madly as she entered the Astronomy Tower. It was rather dark and nothing could be seen.
"Sirius?" she questioned as she ventured into the darkness. A hand grabbed her and pushed her against a wall and started kissing her passionately. Hermione suddenly felt dizzy.
"S-Sirius?" she gasped as they pulled away.
"Yes, milady?" he whispered huskily in her ear. Hermione was glad that it was dark as she blushed bright red.
"You …"
"Yes?" he questioned, running a finger along her jaw and kissing her lightly on the neck. Hermione gulped slightly as she shivered. Sirius stopped what he was doing and pulled out his wand.
"Lumos" he murmured and with that said; a light appeared out of nowhere, illuminating the two lovers' faces "Are you alright?" he queried. Hermione nodded and smiled.
"I'm fine"
"Sure?" Hermione nodded again.
"Honestly, I'm-just a little cold"
"Oh, I see" He muttered as he neared her once again, whispering "Nox" and putting his wand back in his pocket.
"Hermione?"
"Mmmhhmmm?"
"How much do you love me?" he asked. Hermione's eyes shot open as she stared at disbelief, the figure that had its arms around her.
"What?"
"How much do you love me?"
"Well, I … honestly never really thought how much I loved you. I do love you, yes. Why?"
"Would you love me enough to stay with me?" he asked, kissing her neck once again. Hermione suddenly stiffened. Stay? In the past? Was that even possible? She'd thought about it, a lot, but, when it came down to it, yes, she'd give anything to stay, but … there was still Harry and Ron to take into consideration.
Sirius immediately sensed that something was wrong as he stopped what he was doing and brought a hand to caress her face.
"I was only wondering" he whispered "But I'd love for you to stay with me. I've never felt this way about any other girl before"
"I-I'm flattered, but—"
"But?"
"You love me?" she questioned.
"Yes, but—" Sirius was cut off by Hermione's lips being pressed against his. He staggered slightly at having her full weight thrown upon him. As they both sat down on the floor, lips still locked together, Sirius having completely forgotten their conversation, Hermione teasingly tugged at his shirt, making Sirius groan.

Lucius grumbled in annoyance. There simply had to be a way to get Hermione to like him and not Black! Maybe he could … no, that wouldn't work. He put his head in his hands and thought. He wanted her … badly he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to. So … he'd have to think up some sort of cunning plan. That's what Slytherins did, and that's definitely what Lucius was going to do!

Harry yawned deeply and rubbed his eyes.
"Looks like I'm ready for some sleep" he commented tiredly "Might as well see you guys in the morning"
"Yeah, see you in the morning, mate" Ron called after him. He too, yawned and stretched his arms in the air "Looks like I'm tired too"
"Are you gonna go to bed as well?" Ginny questioned. Ron shrugged.
"Dunno. Why?"
"Just wondered, because you and Harry both look very tired" she commented "Huge bags under your eyes"
"Well, thanks a lot sis" Ron said sarcastically "You make me feel so much better" Ginny laughed. Remus' eyes twinkled mischievously as Ron yawned once again.
"Actually, I think I will go to sleep. I am feeling rather tired. G'night" Ron murmured as he made his way up to the boys' bedroom. As soon as Ron was out of the room, Remus had grabbed Ginny and pulled her into a passionate kiss. She giggled as she pulled away.
"Not in here, we could get caught!"
"So?" Ginny giggled once again.
"Remus?"
"Please? One more kiss!"
"Why don't we just go somewhere more private, hmm?"
"Because, I wanna be naughty" Remus said with a grin. Ginny pretended to look disapproving, but failed miserably.
"Tut tut Remus Lupin, I'm surprised at you!" Remus feigned hurt.
"Oh. I'm sorry" Ginny laughed.
"C'mon then, let's go to the broom cupboard" he stood up rather abruptly and grabbed her hand.
"But I thought you wanted to be naughty" she said with a giggle.
"I changed my mind" he said, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Ginny grinned knowingly.
"Well, let's not waste anymore time"

Lucius' head shot up as the perfect plan formed inside of his head. That was it! He breathed, feeling excited. It was perfect! He'd start work on it straight away-tonight!
