"Thank you Sirius for that heartfelt speech. And now we will start the ceremony."Doumbledore started calling names off a list and I watched as each person came forward to shake Doumbledore's had and receive their diploma.
After a few names were called I zoned out thinking about how I had first fell in live with Sirius.
It had been a week since the downfall of the dark lord. There had been many deaths including that of Hagrid, and Ginny. As I sat on the window sill I took my blade out of my pocket. It was a beautiful blade my initials written in gold letters an a dark red handle the silver blade was cold and sharp. Slowly I took the blade to my wrist and made a deep cut. I watched as the dark red blood flowed swiftly out of my arm.
"Hermione, were are you?" It was Sirius. Quickly I tried to hide my bloody arm from view. "Hermione, what are you..." His words died on his lips as he saw my blood drenched arm. "Dear god. What have you done." I tried to reply but the words wouldn't come. I looked at his face and saw the look of confusion and worry in his eyes. And that's when everything went black. Slowly I opened my eyes and noticed that I couldn't move a muscle in my left arm.
"Its nice of you to join us in the land of the living." I looked at the one who was speaking to me and saw that it was Sirius."Im not going to turn you in Hermione but I do insist that you explain the reason that you inflicted this kind of an injury on yourself."
"Its to much, Sirius. To much." I replied.
"Hermione, Nothings to much when you have friends to support you."
"Look around Sirius. Do you see any friends to support me? No you don't they gave up on me when I changed. When I stopped being the same person I was when I was twelve. They stopped being my friends when I grew up."
"Mione' that's not true."
"Yes it is. I haven't been out with any of my friends since the start of the war. And you know it. Its to much . I haven't anyone to rely on, to comfort me after one of my nightmares. I've been threw all of this by myself. And I cant stand it!"
After a short pause he said"Mione I didn't know you felt that way, but I promise that for now on you will never be alone again." With that thought in mind he leaned in and kissed me. From that moment on I couldn't help but fall in love with the charming, imaginative, and caring Sirius Black.
I came out of my memory by a soft nudge in the arm by Sirius and hearing my name being called out by Doumbledore. "Hermione Granger."
I stood up and casually walked to the head master. When I reached him he handed me a diploma and shook my hand. With a slight bow I headed back to my table were I received a hug by Sirius and congratulations by Draco. After another half hour everyone had finally received their diplomas and were heading to the dance floor.
"Hermione, may I have this dance?"Sirius asked.
"Of coarse you can."I answered wile taking his offered hand.
Why do you look so familiar
I could swear that I have seen you're face before
I think that I like that you seem sincere

"Do you have any plans for when we get there?"
"Yes, actually. I do." He said with a mischievous smirk.
how do you always have an opinion
and how do you always find
the best way to compromise
we don't need to have a reason
we don't need anything we're just wasting time
"Do I want to know?"
"Im not sure."
I think there's something more
life's worth living for
who knows what could happen

just keep on laughing
one things true
there's always a brand new day
im gonna live today like its my last day
"Does it include kissing?"
"I hope so."

When the song was over we exited the great hall and then, after grabbing our trunks, we took a portkey to Sirius's house.
