Regaining her voice, as not to arouse too much suspicion about her thoughts, Hermione stuttered slightly turning to Sirius, "So, what's been going on with you this summer?"

"Oh, Dumbledore sent me on this mission to gather up the 'old crowd' as you know, anyway, we, the order of the phoenix that is, have come up with the ultimate weapon which is going to defeat Voldemort once and for all."

"Wow," Said Hermione, whatever she was expecting, it wasn't that! "So what is this secret weapon?" She asked, her curiosity peaked.

"That, young lady, is for me to know and for you to find out." He grinned mischievously at his words.

The day passed pretty quickly, with Hermione amusing herself at showing Sirius exactly how to work a television. With much laughter and fun, the evening wore onto nine fifteen when a car was heard pulling into the driveway of the Grangers' house. "My dad's home Sirius, go into your animagus form, and I will tell him that you followed me home and try and convince him to let me keep you. Be on your best behaviour and try and make a good impression. Ok?" She spoke all this clearly as if she was speaking to a five year old, but being Sirius, she thought it better to be safe than sorry. Just as she had finished speaking, the front door opened and in stepped her father.

"Hello daddy, how was work?" She asked sweetly.

However, before Mr Granger had the chance to answer, he spotted Sirius sitting behind Hermione. "Hermione," He questioned, "Why is there a dog in the house?"

"Oh. em. you see, you know when I went to the park? Well, this stray dog followed me home, I couldn't seem to get rid of him." She sneaked in a quick grin in Sirius' direction as she made this comment, but continued to explain to her father. After much debating and persuading, Hermione had finally convinced her father to let Sirius stay.. But, he was to go when Hermione returned to Hogwarts. This was fine by Sirius and Hermione as that is when he was planning to go anyway.

The next morning, Hermione woke up to a great weight on her legs. As she tried to sit up, she realised that the great weight was actually Sirius, still in his dog form. "S-Sirius, could you please get off me?" She tried asking, only to realise that he was fast asleep. 'Well only one thing for it.' Thought Hermione to herself as she kicked her legs as much as she could, which inevitably ended up with Sirius landed on the floor with a great crash. "Oh, your up then," Said Hermione sarcastically, smiling as the now human form of Sirius was sending her a death glare.

"This means war!" He declared as he reached for one of Hermione's two pillows. Before you could say "Quidditch" an full on pillow fight had commenced. The result after fifteen minutes being two exhausted people, two featherless pillows and a room covered in feathers.

A/n I hope that this chapter was slightly longer.. It was only longer by a hundred words or so. but still, it's something!
