Hermione woke up early to make breakfast and to feed the twins. She sat on the porch in the back yard, feeding the twins. What she didn't notice was Harry watching her until he said, "Hermione can I talk to you?"
"Yes just don't stare at my breasts."
"Hermione, I want to marry Bianca..."
At this, Hermione laughed, "Tell me something I didn't know."
"I want to marry her, but I can't believe she withheld that from me. I love her, and all I want to do is make her happy."
"Harry, she is so scared of what could happen, I mean, who could blame her? What he took from her was a gift, a gift that she wanted to give to some like you. And now she can't. Just for psychological purposes, have you had sex with her?"
"No. The most we've ever done is kiss."
"With you on top of her?"
"No, next to her; I tried to one time but she almost had an aneurism."
"Harry, you should take it slow. She's scared of what could happen; the first and last sexual experience was a ravaging."
"Do you two ever talk about getting married?"
"Yeah, all the time; Bianca says that she wants to be married, but..."
"But what?"
"She says that it would be awhile before she could have sex with me. Gods, Hermione, I would be in a sexless marriage."
"Harry! It has nothing to with that; she wants to be your friend, Harry. Which is better: a girl who shagged you on the first date or one who wanted to wait for the right time? By Circe, Harry, Sirius and I didn't have sex until four months after we were married!"
"What? Sirius didn't tell me that."
"Of course he wouldn't. Would you?"
Harry shook his head, "Why didn't you?"
"I just wasn't ready, and Sirius being the good man that he is, didn't rush me. Sure, he wanted to; he was a twenty-three year old man, of course he wanted to have sex, but he didn't rush me."
"I thought you slept over at his flat."
"No, I slept, in the literal sense, in his bed with him, but we didn't have sex until I was ready."
"I didn't know that; it helps. I just want to help."
Bianca piped up from the doorway, "Yeah, I know. Everyone just wants to fix my "problem". Well, if it's such a bloody problem, don't date me!" She turned and slammed the patio door.
Things did not look up after lunch; Harry was looking like a sick puppy and Bianca looked like she just might remove his manhood. Everyone was sitting in perfect silence; even the children knew to be quiet, but Hermione couldn't take it anymore.
"OH BLOODY HELL WITH THIS SILENCE SHIT! I want you two to talk and snog a bit. I'm tired; all this is too bloody much. Hell even when I tell Sirius to be quiet he makes more noise than this. Please do whatever you do when you're alone, because I'm done!" Hermione left the dining room in a huff.
"Well, that's one way to talk about a problem. Bianca, I didn't know what do, so I went to my best friend for advice."
"I thought I was your best friend-"
Harry took her hand from across the table, "but in a different way. I wanted to help you..."
"So you should have asked me. What you did...If you wanted to help me you should have asked me how I felt you should have asked me."
"I will." Harry looked at her with a mischievous look in his eyes.
"Harry, I will not. Not on the dining room table," Harry's face fell, "But I will kiss you in your lap. But that's all I'm going to do, fair?" He nodded eagerly.
Hermione sat in the living room, reading when someone's head popped up in the fireplace.
"Hi, love."
"Sirius? What are you doing, Damien can track you know. This is very risky."
"I know, but I missed you. How are you?"
"Sleepy; the babies' magic is making me stay awake. He's doubled his magic according the doctor. I want you to be careful. Damien is capable of anything."
"I know...Oh Gods Hermione look out!"
Before Hermione knew it, she surrendered to the darkness.
When she woke up, she wasn't at home. Damien. Where are my children?
"Don't worry my love, your children are fine; up in the bedroom with their god parents; Bianca and Harry."
"Damien," she spat, "Release me. Damien if you love me, you will let me go."
"I love you so much; that's why you have to stay in the chair. Let me go get that traitorous letch of a man." Damien disappeared up the creaking up the rotting stairs.
What has he done to my husband? Oh, Gods, what can I do? The cords are rotted just like everything else in the house. I just need to reach that nail file...
"My love, I'm back." Damien had Sirius by his shoulders, a nasty bruise telling of a beating. "Sirius, wake up. I want you to see my wife for the last time."
Sirius opened his eyes groggily, "Mione?"
"Yes, my wife. She fell in love with you even though you cheated on her."
There is not way that Sirius would do that. Sirius looked at the woebegone floor, avoiding her gaze.
"IS THIS TRUE SIRIUS?" Hermione had almost worked through the ropes and wanted to banish Damien back to hell or wherever she could be rid of him. "IS THIS...TRUE... SIRIUS?"
"Yes, it is." How dare Sirius? Just wait Sirius Lee Black, your ass is mine.
Hermione let the rope drop onto the floor.
"Damien," She said, inching closer and closer to him. "I love Sirius, and I love everything about him, so I love you too." Damien covered his ears. "I love you Sirius and I love you too, Damien, because you are a part of him. So I'm not going to banish you to the depths of hell; you're just going to back into the man I love." Damien dropped Sirius and started to writhe around on the floor, clutching his chest. For one agonizing second, Damien screamed, pores of light searing through his skin. His body split open and burned.
Hermione ran over to Sirius' side, "Don't worry Sirius; I will get us home."
Sirius started to nodded slumped back on the ground.
A day later, Sirius woke up in his bed that he shared with Hermione. Hermione, he thought, she knows. He pushed back the covers, and swung his feet onto the floor. He almost made it to the doorway when she said from the corner in the shadows.
"Sirius, I want to know everything about it."
Sirius tried to be nonchalant, but he was shaking internal with fear. Hermione could do anything if provoked. "About what, Love?"
Hermione threw the chair on the floor and it shattered, "About Her. Why? WHY SIRIUS WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME? WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND ONE ON THE WAY! SO, I WANT YOU TO SIT DOWN, BE A MAN, AND TELL ME EVERYTHING!"
Sirius signed and sat on the couch in the corner, and gestured to the other end.
"Okay."
