AN: Here's the last chapter, I hope you like it. I daresay many of you will have your wishes come true… It's not very long, but it somehow just shouldn't be any longer…

Well, again some thank you's to all my reviewers, I love getting them, so please keep writing them. Oh yeah, and this brilliant dream said something about my misspelling realise, because I use an 's' instead of a 'z'. Well I've checked it, and both my dictionary and my English teacher if I remember correctly, have told me it can be spelt both ways… Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 6

Hermione of course knew what to choose. Love was more valuable than physical attraction, and besides, it was not as if she was not attracted to Sirius in those ways. She knew that there would probably not come anything out of telling him about it, but she supposed that in telling him a burden would be lifted off her shoulders and she would be able to sleep peacefully again, without disturbing and confusing dreams.

When Hermione woke up Monday morning she was nervous. Her last class that day would be defence against the dark arts, and she had decided to stay behind after class to talk to Sirius. He had, after all, told her to tell him, because he would be able to help, so she decided she need not worry about whether or not it was wrong to tell him. He had asked her to.

When the last class ended and everyone started to leave Hermione stayed behind. She was rather fidgety and her palms were sticky with sweat.

"Umm, professor… Sirius, may I speak with you for a moment?" Sirius looked up from the paperwork on his desk.

"Of course Hermione, what's wrong?" he asked in a concerned voice.

"Oh, nothing's wrong… or at least I don't think so…or I don't know… You'd probably find it wrong, but I don't think…."

"Hermione, you're babbling, get to the point!" Sirius cut her off rather sharply.

"Sorry Sirius," she said sheepishly and blushed slightly red, "It's just these 'boy troubles'… Well I had better tell you about them. You see there's a reason, and a good one I may add, that I didn't want to tell you, but I have to get it off my shoulders, even if you'll hate me afterwards."

"Mione, I will never hate you," Sirius said seriously, his eyes twinkling with slight curiosity.

"Very well, then," Hermione sighed, "It's not really boy trouble, it's a man… Sirius, I think… know wait a minute I know, I love you." There, she had said it. She closed her eyes and waited for him to start yelling at her, but the outburst she had berated herself for never came. She opened her eyes again. Sirius was just starring into nothing, his face totally expressionless.

"Sirius?" Hermione was slightly worried and waved her hand in front of him.

"I… I don't know what to say," Sirius said, still shocked.

"Well, I think I had better go…" Hermione went to leave, but Sirius grabbed her by the wrist.

"No, wait, Hermione" he said quickly, "Sit down. It's just that I was quite shocked, it wasn't exactly what I thought you'd say."

"So you don't hate me?" Hermione looked up at him sheepishly, blushing a faint pink. Sirius smiled and shook his head.

"Of course not, how could I?" he chuckled, then turned more serious, "But , I had better follow you example. Remember I told you I was in love too?" Hermione nodded, "Well, I'm in love with you, Hermione, however inappropriate it might be… You've grown up to be the most incredible and wonderful woman I know, and the fact that it seems to be you who saved my life does nothing but add to the package… I love you." His voice was calm and his gaze steady. Hermione looked into his kind black eyes, she could not believe her own ears, he loved her too? It simply could not be, could it? Sirius cleared his throat; he had begun to look slightly uncomfortable.

"I don't know if you're interested… but since you've turned 18 a relationship wouldn't be illegal… And I would like to know where this could go…" he trailed off.

"Me too," Hermione nodded and leant in over the desk, pressing her lips to his softly. His right hand went up behind her head and pulled her a little closer as he parted her lips with his tongue. His kiss was like that in her dream, his lips cold yet ever so soft.

The End.
