Chapter 25: Love

"Sirius, where are we going?"

"You'll see," he said smirking.

Hermione glared at him. "Do you have a fascination of leading me into cold, dark forests in the middle of the night? This is the second time you've done it."

"Yeah, and don't forget the foot of snow we get to walk through," Sirius teased.

"How could I possibly forget that!" she said, not even trying to hide the sarcasm.

"It will be worth it."

"I seem to recall you saying that before."

"And it was worth it, wasn't it?"

"Yes. Lead on."

Hermione followed him deeper into the forest. If she hadn't been so consumed with thoughts of him, she would have noticed that they were walking the same path he took her on Christmas. She would have also noticed that, as they grew closer, little bouquets of flowers and candles laced the path.

"Oh my god Sirius, it's beautiful!" Hermione said, finally coming out of her stupor.

Before them, hidden slightly by the leaves of the weeping willow, was a scene right out of a fairytale. A small table sat with flowers hanging all around it. Candles floated overhead, providing enough light so it wasn't dark but wasn't bright at the same time. Glitter swirled in the air and a nightingale was singing.

"Do you like it?" Sirius asked cautiously with just a little trepidation that she would hate it.

Hermione looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I love it Sirius. No one has ever done anything like this for me. Thank you so much." She brought his head down to hers and kissed him.

He gazed down at her orange and pink face; the pink now more prominent than it was earlier. "Come love, I have a present for you," he said taking her hand.

"I have one for you too," she said. "But let's eat first."

Sirius' face turned yellow. "Well about the food…I wanted to make you a really good meal and they say Italians make the best food so…."

Hermione smiled, "Did you make Italian?"

"Well, I tried. I also made this stuff Lily gave me a recipe for."

"So, what are we having?"

"Well we have baked ziti, chicken alfredo (Lily's recipe), and Italian bred for the main course."

"And for dessert?" Hermione asked, her mouth watering.

"Triple chocolate fudge mousse cake. James and I was experimenting with food a couple of years ago and came up with it."

"It sounds delicious. I'm hungry, let's eat."

Sirius led her over to the table and they began filling up their plates. Both ate the food hungrily. It was delicious!

Finally they decided to open up presents. Sirius gave her his present first. "If you don't like it, I can return it."

"Don't be silly," she said as she opened the tiny velvet box. Inside laid a necklace. It was two hearts intertwined and one was her birthstone, the other Sirius'. He helped her put it on. "Thank you Sirius. It is so beautiful! I love it!"

"You're welcome, now what about my present I was promised?"

"Here it is," Hermione said as she handed him a velvet box. She watched as he slowly opened the box and took out what laid within. It was a god pocket watch. "Open it up."

He opened it up and read the message- Throughout time, my love will be yours. He looked at her, his eyes a little misty. "Does this mean…"

"I love you Sirius Black. With all my heart, body, and soul, I love you."

He kissed her and they laid down on the blanket near the table. "I love you Hermione," he whispered on her lips.

"Then show me," she whispered lovingly.

He gazed down at her. "Are you sure?"

She nodded her consent and kissed him to show her she was sure. And there, in the soft moonlight, they became one.

A/N: I'm not good at the whole details thing so I didn't attempt it. I probably would have scared you guys off my story. I hope you guys like it though. The next chapter is called Saving a Life. That's all I'm going to give ya, you have to guess who's life it is that gets saved. Thanks for reading and PLEASE REVIEW!
