A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews!!! :D
Ginny flopped down on to the cold kitchen floor and lay down on her stomach. "Ugh," she moaned.
"Everything all right, Ginny?" Hermione asked worriedly, seeing Ginny laying on the ground as she walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah," Ginny said slowly, sitting up. "My stomach hurts. I ate too much at dinner."
"I know," Hermione said, sitting down across from Ginny on the floor. "You barley stopped to breath."
Ginny laughed, holding her stomach. "Well, I couldn't get my self to eat at breakfast, we didn't eat lunch...I was starving!"
"I guess this means operation 'Get Sirius' is going to be canceled?" Hermione asked hopefully and wishing that Ginny would nod her head in agreement; but seeing Ginny's eyes, Hermione knew that that wasn't going to be her answer.
"Watch and learn, my dear friend," Ginny said. She stood up and walked over to the kitchen counter, sitting back down on a high stool. She smiled at Hermione before she put her head down on the counter, and buried it in her arms.
Hermione laughed and stayed on the floor. She leaned back on her hands. "I can't believe I have nothing better to do than watch this," she said, causing Ginny to laugh so hard she almost fell off her stool.
"Kreacher!?" Sirius shouted, as he entered the kitchen. "Have you girls seen Kreacher?"
Hermione looked up at Sirius, who stood towering over her. "No, I haven't Sirius, sorry," she smiled up at him.
"That's ok, Hermione," Sirius said, returning her smile. "I caught him trying to smack Buckbeak with some old umbrella, but he ran before I could get close enough to grab him, the stupid, annoying little jerk."
Hermione was about to defend Kreacher's sanity, when a large moan stopped her from speaking.
"Ginny?" Sirius said in a concerned voice. He walked over to the counter. Ginny moaned again and rubbed her belly with her right hand, while her head rested on her left arm.
"What's the matter, Ginny?" Sirius asked; he gently pushed Ginny's hair out of her face. Hermione's mouth dropped slightly with shock.
Ginny looked up at Sirius with big, puppy dog eyes. "I don't feel well," she said, her voice trembling.
Sirius pulled a stool up next to Ginny's and sat down so close to her that their knees touched. "Tell Dr. Black what the trouble is, dear," he said smiling and making Ginny giggle.
"My stomach hurts," she said.
Sirius laughed. "Well, Ginny, you did eat half of your mother's chicken all by yourself."
Ginny turned slightly red. "I was hungry," she whispered, wrapping her arms around her stomach.
"Do you want me to go get your mother?" Sirius asked, rubbing Ginny's arm.
Ginny's eyes flashed over to Hermione, who was trying her hardest not to laugh at this spectacle.
Sirius's head turned slowly towards Hermione's direction when he noticed Ginny's eye shift over to her.
Hermione looked back at Ginny who widened her eyes, mentally telling Hermione to say something.
"Mrs. Weasley isn't home, Sirius," Hermione said, which was the truth. Mrs. Weasley took the boys to Diagon Alley with her to help her replenish the cleaning supplies.
"My dad isn't here either," Ginny sighed, drawing Sirius back to her. Ginny laid her head on the counter, staring up at Sirius, and continued to rub her stomach.
"I'll take care of you, Ginny, don't worry," Sirius said in a reassuring voice. "Come one," he added, getting off his seat. Sirius grabbed Ginny's arm and draped it around his neck, than he scooped his arm under her legs and lifted her off the stool.
Hermione saw Ginny's eyes glitter with joy as Sirius carried her towards the door.
"I'm going to take Ginny up to bed, Hermione," Sirius said, over his shoulder. "If anyone wonders where I am," he added. Hermione saw him smirk at Ginny as he left the room with her in his arms.
Hermione stared at the door that they just left through for a whole two minutes. I am NOT jealous. I am NOT jealous, she repeated over and over in her head.
Ginny sat on her bed for a half an hour waiting for Hermione to come see her. She was just about to get up and go find her, when the bedroom door opened and Hermione walked in clapping.
"Bravo," Hermione squealed, as she sat on Ginny's bed. "Your stomach doesn't hurt at all, does it?"
Ginny shook her head and smiled mischievously. "Where have you been?" she asked.
"Giving you time to rest," Hermione responded, rolling her eyes. "Sirius told me to."
Ginny bounced up and down in place. "He kissed my forehead before he left," she said in a dreamy voice. "Jealous?" she added, returning to her normal triumphant tones.
"I've decided that I don't care anymore," Hermione said haughtily.
Ginny stared at Hermione with disappointment spreading across her face. She was having fun, and Hermione had to ruin it. "Oh, come on," Ginny whined. "You can't just stop liking Sirius that fast."
"Yes, I could," Hermione said, getting off Ginny's bed and pulling something out of her pocket. "And I've made you a detailed list of reasons why I don't like him."
Ginny grabbed the list and began to read it.
When Sirius came back from bringing Ginny up to her room, he asked Hermione if she wanted to help him look for Kreacher. Hermione was overjoyed to help him.
While they searched, instead of just enjoying Sirius's company, Hermione tried to discuss SPEW with him. Sirius disagreed with every point Hermione brought up. She got so annoyed she abandoned him, went back into the kitchen, found some blank parchment and made her list.
"Hermione," Ginny said, when she finished reading the list. "Some of these reasons are the same things just reworded."
"What!?" Hermione shouted incredulously.
"Number one," Ginny read out loud. "He is mean to house elves. Number eight he treats house elves meanly."
"Oh," Hermione whispered.
"Nice try," Ginny said, throwing the parchment at Hermione.
"Evanesca," Hermione shouted, pointing her wand at the parchment lying at her feet. It disappeared completely.
"You're just jealous," Ginny continued. "Because Sirius kissed me."
"He didn't kiss you, Ginny," Hermione said, annoyed. "He kissed your forehead."
"Fine; your forehead is jealous of my forehead."
Hermione sighed loudly and flopped head first on to her bed. "Ginny," she said, flipping over so that her voice could be clear. "I am so much smarter than this."
Ginny rolled her eyes overdramatically and clicked her tongue. "Hermione," she said, as if she was trying to sell her something. "Besides cleaning and listening unsuccessfully to Order meetings, what else is there to do around here?" Hermione opened her mouth, but Ginny stopped her from speaking. "And don't even mention our summer homework!"
Hermione smiled at the fact that Ginny knew what she was going to say. "All right, maybe I was a little, tiny bit...jealous," she said quietly.
Ginny sighed. "Wasn't Sirius so sweet to me?"
"Yeah," Hermione agreed, in a dreamy voice that made her face cringe when she heard it. "What did he say to you up here?" she added, returning to her normal voice.
"That's between me and him," Ginny giggled.
"Ok...let's not forget the fact that we are witches and that I can make you talk," Hermione said, smiling and pulling her wand out of her pocket.
"You're not that mean, Hermione," Ginny said, gripping her wand also.
"Nor do I care that much about what he said," Hermione said, putting her wand away.
They sat in silence for a minute. "Did Sirius smell good?" Hermione asked quietly. She remembered how Krum always had a strong cologne smell about him.
"No," Ginny laughed. "He smelled like Buckbeak." Hermione also burst into laughter.
The two girls continued to talk loudly about Sirius. Neither of them noticing that Hermione never closed the door after she came into the room. They also didn't notice the violet-hair covered head peeking into the room.
