Okay, until my laptop is fixed, my updates will be kind of erratic and irregular… and short. Here's one of the few I can do now… I'll probably revise it later to ass to another chapter and make it longer in general… but for now, this is it.

Hermione was nervous; she decided it would save them both much embarrassment if she were to carryout the terms of her and Remus' wager after the next class, this way; it would give them SOME form of privacy and give her some form of protection from her self-inflicted humiliation.

After Sirius had dismissed his class, Hermione hung back behind the others.

"'Mione! C'mon! Class is OVER, as in you can leave now!" Harry shouted at her.

"I'll meet you in the common room in a bit, I need to do something first."

"Okay, suit yourself." Harry said before his head disappeared from the doorway. Hermione took a deep breath before approaching the desk where Sirius sat chatting contentedly with Remus. Remus saw her first and grinned maliciously, he was going to enjoy this… he always was a bad winner.

"Why hullo there Hermione, is there something you wanted?" Remus asked, eyes glinting dangerously.

Hermione steadied herself, refusing to meet Remus' or Sirius' gaze, before leaning over to Sirius and gently pressing her lips to his. His reaction was one of shock and she felt his body tense for a moment before he began to kiss her back. She had not expected him to do that, so she started to pull away, he gently placed his hand at the nape of her neck and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. When it was finally over, they were both breathing a little heavier than normal, Hermione's face flushed with crimson that a Weasley could envy. She retreated hastily, refusing to lock eyes with either of the pair. Before she made her leave, Remus called after her.

"Never bet against a Werewolf!"

"Moony! What the hell was that about?" Sirius asked. His lips still swollen from the kiss, blushing slightly. That had been… different… wonderful but different. "No… she's your student… think non dirty thoughts! think non dirty thoughts!" he thought to himself but he could not help but realise something he had never noticed before, Hermione had grown up right before his very eyes, she was legally an adult and a very attractive adult at that. (If you counted the extra age she gained form the time turner in her 3rd year, considering her birthday was only a few days away and she aged at least an extra 5 months.)

"Well, Hermione and I had a small wager… if you looked as good as you did in our seventh year after you were de-aged, she'd have to kiss you… and I'm eternally grateful to you for your meticulous hygienic habits."

"Why, what if you had lost?"

"Then it would have been me and Rolanda…" Remus shuddered.

"That gives me an idea… after all; your birthday prank is approaching fast!"

"You wouldn't DARE!"

"Oh? Wouldn't I? I'll take that as a challenge!" Sirius grinned mischievously.

"Oh bugger…" Remus said dejectedly… he was in for it this time.
