Aramin - Don't worry, it won't be like that. I have nothing more to say except here's the next chapter, so enjoy!
Wondering why she was waking up so early, Hermione sat up in her bed, thinking about the letter that she had received from Sirius. Remembering that she was to meet him that day, Hermione quickly got up to take a quick shower.
After getting ready, Hermione walked downstairs to the kitchen to see her father sat behind a mountain of paper work. "Hi dad." She said as she sat down to a piece of toast.
"Hi Herm." He replied, not looking up from his work. "What you up to today?" He asked, although Hermione knew that he was not really interested, decided to make polite conversation with him.
"Oh, I was thinking of going by the park this morning. How about you? Are you going to work?" She asked wondering why her father was still at home, as he normally worked from the hours of 7.30am to 8.45pm. Glancing at her watch she realised that it was already ten thirty and she would have to get going soon to meet Sirius.
"Oh, I'm going into work at eleven today, my first appointment isn't until midday, and I thought I'd just get up to date on my paper work. Did you say you were going to the park?" He asked. Not waiting for an answer, he continued, "Be careful Hermione, you know, there are a lot of strange people about these days, and I don't know what I'd do if I lost you too."
'Jeez, He's being a bit melodramatic today!' Thought Hermione to herself. "Yes of course daddy." She replied sweetly, wanting to keep on the good side of him as she had to ask if Sirius could say. "Well, I better be off." Said Hermione getting up to leave. "What time do you think you'll be home tonight dad?"
"Em, I think around nine, is that ok?"
"Yeah sure. See you later." Truth be told, it hurt Hermione that her dad was never at home any more and paid all attention to his work. Not once that morning had her father looked up from what he was doing. She could have been going out wearing a clown costume for all he knew!
By the time she got to the park, it was five past eleven. Sitting on the nearest bench, she decided to wait there for Sirius as the bench was in the middle of the park. She hadn't been waiting for more than ten minutes, when a large black shaggy dog came bounding over to her. "Hey Sirius." She said; glad to see her first reminder of the wizarding world since the beginning of the holidays. "My dad has gone to work and he'll be back at around nine, so you can stay in your human form when we get home for a while." He gave a cheerful "Woof!" to show that he understood and they soon began making their way back to Hermione's house.
As soon as they were in the door, Sirius changed back into his human form. Hermione gasped as she saw him. He sure had changed. His black hair was nearly down to his shoulders, but it was still fairly neat, is dark eyes shone with youthful mischief and he looked the happiest that she had seen him in a long time. The same could have been said for Hermione, she to had changed. She now had a full figure and her hair had become tamer, going down her back in brown ringlets. However, her chocolate brown eyes held that of sadness and pain.
A/n - I know, weird place to leave the chapter, but that's where I'm leaving it! I will post some more tomorrow if I have some more reviews!
