Chapter 9: Satellite

"Winter's cold spring erases, and the calm away by the storm is chasing, everything good needs replacing. Look up, look down all around, hey satellite"

"Good morning." It was general and the only thing said that morning between the practical roommates. It was almost homely to have each other over the uncompleted week. Finally, it was Saturday morning. The sun, it shown through all the windows, the only access of light. Soothing. Calm . . . Home.

It was a beautiful day that began relaxed, soon to be hectic. People would be arriving soon, and Hermione didn't want this perfect sunny day to be ruined.

Mrs. Weasley was coming over soon. She had demanded that Hermione let her do at least some of the cooking, which soon worked its way slowly into all of the cooking. Hermione didn't mind much. She was being a little aloof anyway. The week had passed so sweetly; she feared a toothache. Sirius had just about pampered her to heaven, dinner every night and the silence she craved to have to sip hot chocolate. The whole world seemed to be on her side, or it seemed to go away too.

The morning was one of her favorite times of the day. It depicted how the rest of her day went. She and Sirius had a peaceful breakfast, followed with sitting on the couch in their pajamas till ten, talking and looking out the window. Slow and steady, they got dress and set up how they wanted things to go.

Hermione frowned, "How are you going to know when to come out?"

Sirius turned to face her from the door way he was about to walk through, "Well, I don't know, I guess I'll just come out when you tell me everyone is here and no one has eaten yet." Hermione's frown grew, "Well that's how it looked in my head." He continued through the doorway into his room.

Some time after one had passed, Sirius went into the room he slept in and took a shower in the bathroom supplied with the room. He took a long one to waste time. Scolding hot water, dripping down his back. His head against the wall, which where the water streamed from. It burnt every where it touched him but it felt all the same. He washed his hair and conditioned it; he washed himself and relaxed in the still scorching hot water. 'Well, that's what my mum always told me what my name had meant in Latin.' He thought to himself and chuckled at his own silly little joke.

Hermione had just heard the shower turn on as Mrs. Weasley bustled through the living room into the kitchen. "Good afternoon Hermione dear. How are you doing?" She walked over to Hermione and gave her a peck on each cheek and hugged her. The two women continued into the kitchen to quickly whip up some entrees for snacking and such. They only had enough time for so much before people started to show up. First came Remus, who showed up with Jacque. Ron, Harry, Ginny and their kids, and Fred followed them in. Already, it was like an Order reunion. More so, when Dumbledor and McGonagall showed up. Sirius had gone to the extent to invite Mundungus and Kingsly who showed up at separate times. It was almost weird for Hermione because Sirius had forgotten to mention all the people he had invited. It was now strange that all these people had showed.

Hermione had gone in to check up on Sirius. She went to his door, knocked, and whispered, "Sirius? Are you ready?"

Just as she said this, her popped his head out, "Um, I hope so. I'm feeling kind of queasy. Sick. Nervous." He was on his way to hysterics making Hermione crazy, "How are they going to react when they see me? It's been years, I . . ."

Hermione put her hand over his mouth, "Shut up, your hysterical." She chuckled. "Now, I'm going to walk around that corner, and say 'I have a surprise for you all tonight, which is why, blah blah blah.' Then, you're going to come out and . . . well, you know, it's all down hill from there." She smiled. "Good luck." She patted his cheek.

Sirius smiled to her, "Thank you Hermione." His gaze had moved from her eyes, to her lips, and finally to her cheek. He placed his lips to her cheek and murmured, 'Thank you' before she walked away in almost awe. She felt floaty and she stood in the doorway to the hallway. Looking at all of the people talking and reminiscing of the past. 'They don't know what is about to hit them!' she thought to herself, giggling.

She looked behind her to see Sirius looking at her from around the corner. She shooed him away, and he turned around, so no one would see him. She once again looked at all of these people's lives that were about to change drastically.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Then she pointed to James, George, and Jacque, "Boys and girls. I have a special surprise for all of you." Hermione made sure she had everyone's attention before she began to talk again, "Yes, there is a reason as to why you were invited here today. It wasn't called a surprise party for nothing." Hermione could see Remus getting a little choked up as he laughed softly, but she just winked at him with her toffee eyes, "Last Monday, Remus and I did something extraordinary. Would you like to see it?" She smiled to all the people.

A few piped up and responded with 'yes' and sat with anticipation. Then Hermione turned, and called out into the hallway. "May I present to, the one and only, Sirius . . . Orion . . . Black." Hermione never once dared to look at the people staring down the hallway as the man she had spent the past few days with walked down the hall, forever. Sirius smiled to her and Hermione turned to everyone.

Not one single person spoke.

Awe.

Harry was the first to react. He almost ran to Sirius immediately. He tightly wrapped his arms around his godfather, with more love and longing then he had ever thought he could possess at one moment. Then soon everyone began to be broken of the shock and went to hug the two associated with the bringing back of Sirius Black. There were some women who cried. Hermione couldn't help herself when Harry had run to Sirius like that.

Words were exchanged, questions were asked, and relationships were bounded. Harry kept thanking Hermione for what she had done.

"How did you do it?" Ron asked, once a few people had left and it was primarily family. "I just don't get it."

Hermione laughed, "I don't know, but it surely unexpected." Remus had heard this, and he too laughed. Everyone looked at the two with questioning looks, especially Sirius, "What is this? Look, Ron, I don't even know how they did it. As far as I am concerned, they could have sacrificed a goat for me. I don't know." And everyone laughed at his random joke. Harry had taken Ginny and his two sons, James and George home, but returned to hang out with his godfather, two best friends, and old professor.

They five of them stayed together until the wee hours of the morning. Remus had taken Jacque home because she had fallen asleep on Hermione's bed. Ron left a half an hour after him. Harry had left after Ron, asking continuously for Sirius to come spend the night some time to catch up.

Hermione hadn't the strength to clean the house, and even less strength to get to bed before she fell asleep on the couch. Sirius had been all too sleepy from all the attention and battering of chatter. He relaxed by watching his favorite show, Hermione sleeping, and sipping a warm drink.

After an hour, he grew weary, and carried Hermione off to bed. As he placed her in her sheets, Sirius heard her whisper something almost incoherent; "I love you Padfoot." And all of a sudden, Sirius felt a hundred times lighter, and slept better then he could ever remember. The world made sense again.

After hearing this comment, he went to his room to think. Did he really belong here, with Hermione, the two of them alone in the same house? Maybe. He wasn't sure. He now needed more time to think about it. Also, did Hermione say what she said, because she had meant it? Or, was it because she was dreaming? Was she dreaming of him? His mind was racing, and it made him absolutely crazy.

He wanted to think of getting to start to get back to his life and getting out on his own, but the thought of 'Mione was making him nuts.

He slept little that night. The minutes were marching by, and suddenly he got an idea to help him vent a little. Something he could do to get his feelings out. He would write a letter of everything he was feeling. Everything that was on his mind and most of it was Hermione.

Sirius sat down, with a little light on, and began to write. It was pure and private. It was secret and sure. He felt like there was nothing that could break him now. Even though, it would be highly embarrassing if anyone were to find something so . . . personal.

Harry came home late that night. Ginny was fast asleep and so weren't the kids. He smiled about everything that he thought of, which was Sirius. He was almost whole now. His new family filled a part of his he never knew he had, but that hole Sirius left was left open and abandoned. Harry now felt complete. He had the closest thing to a dad now, maybe the closest he would ever get. It made him happy.

He rolled over and wrapped his long arms around his wife's now large stomach. He drifted off into something more then sleep, it was pure and honest happiness.

It was Sunday. Hermione and Sirius spent the day together. They cleaned the flat, which turned into a tickling match, because Sirius couldn't keep his hands to himself. Hermione took no notice to this. Sirius thought to himself how oblivious she could be, no matter how smart she seemed to be.

But what Sirius didn't know was that Hermione knew everything. She was now laughing at how oblivious he was.
