Chapter 2

At about 9:30 in the morning Hermione was helping Sirius moving furniture for their first lesson. Ginny was in the corner drinking a Starbucks and writing her book. She wanted to see how the first lesson went. After they had moved all the furniture Hermione smoothed out her black stretchy pants and white tank top and looked at Sirius. He was wearing blue jeans and a really tight black top that made Hermione's stomach do flips.

"Ready?" he asked noticing her looking at him up and down. Inside he was whooping for joy but he didn't let it show.

"Yea" she said breathlessly. What are you doing? You can't like him! He's Harry's godfather. She shouted at herself. Age is nothing but a number, just follow your heart. Said another voice inside of her that sounded a lot like her mother.

"OK first thing you need to know is that if he doesn't lead than he is a wimp and not worth your time." Sirius said trying to be serious. (A/N lol puns are fun!) Mya giggled.

"Ok just put what foot I tell you to ok? Now." He waved his wand and the music started, "Left, right, left right, right, left, spin, and back." Then as everything was going smoothly she stepped on Sirius' toes.

"Sorry." She gasped as he pulled her tighter against him.

"It's ok." He said, "Again."

They practiced not even stopping for lunch. Soon about 5 more people were watching them move gracefully around the room. Not even taking their eyes off each other.

"I bet 5 galleons Sirius will tell her before the ball." Said Ginny.

"I bet 10 galleons that he does it in 2 days." Said Remus.

Harry, Bill, Charlie, and Ron just stood there watching the couple that was lost in each others eyes.

"All I know is that if he hurts her I'll kill him." Said Ron fiercely.

"Right behind ya Ron." Said Harry in agreement.

"Ok enough staring at them go down to dinner. I'll get them." Said Remus.

He waited until he heard the sounds of dinner starting until he waved his wand at the magically charmed CD player. He noticed they both stopped but didn't move away from each other. They just looked at him.

"I'm sorry to break up this happy moment, but Molly said Dumbledore is coming to dinner and she wants us all there. So come on. March!" he commanded.

They all walked downstairs in silence. As they were about to enter the dining room Mya turned to Sirius and said,

"Thank you for this. I really appreciate it."

"Its no problem Liz." He answered back.

She smiled at him and entered the dining room.

"She loves you mate. Just give it time." Said Remus as he put a hand on Sirius' shoulder.

Sirius nodded and entered the room. He sat down at his usual spot and started to eat without a word. Everyone looked kind of worried because usually he was very talkative.

"So Sirius how was your dance lesson with Mya?" asked Dumbledore.

"It was great Albus. Mya is a natural." He said softly looking at his plate.

Everything after that was quite.

"Excuse me." Said Sirius as he got up and walked upstairs.

"It was delicious Mrs. Weasley. I'm full." Said Hermione moving back her chair a little.

"But dear you have hardly eaten a thing." Said Molly her motherly instincts kicking in.

"Yea your right Ron the Chuddly Cannons are doing great this year." Said Hermione distracted, "Excuse me."

She got up and walked upstairs skipping every other stair. She walked in the direction where she heard music.

And I can't stand the pain

And I can't make it go away

No I can't stand the pain

How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes

Got nowhere to run

The night goes on

Yes I'm fading away...

She walked up and sat behind him and started to rub his shoulders.

"You know just because you have pain, doesn't mean you have to suffer it alone." She whispered in his ear.

He turned to face her and softly whispered,

"The only pain I have is knowing I can't have you."

Then he stood up and walked to his room leaving a stunned Hermione. She would have a lot to think about that night, The next thing she knew she saw an owl fly though an open window and land in front of her. As she untied the letter she saw the return address. It was from Jon. It said:

Dear Mya,

I am writing to inform you that the ball will be held on August 10th, 3 days time. Until then relax. Enclosed is a necklace I saw when I left you yesterday and it reminded me of you. I hope you'll wear it tomorrow. Till the 'morrow my sweet lady.

Yours,

Jon

Hermione walked to her room and sat down. She had a lot of thinking to do.
