DISCLAIMER: I did not own Harry Potter when I started this story. I do not own Harry Potter now. I will never own Harry Potter either…unless J.K. Rowling decides to give it to me but that will never happen.

In case you guys forgot where we left off…

Ron stared dumbfounded at first Sirina then Hermione, then back to Sirina. "Hey….," he said after a moment, "that baby looks remarkably like Sirius."

Now on with the story….

Chapter 16:

The whole room was silent. Everyone looked from Hermione to Sirius, then to Sirina, and back to Hermione again, hoping for some kind of answer.

"You know," Harry hugged Ginny, "I think Sirina wants to visit the kitchen. What do you say hun?"

Ginny looked at him then nodded in understanding. "Yeah, I think she does."

Ginny jumped up and rushed to grab Sirina. Hermione grabbed her as she hurried past. "Don't leave us in here alone," Hermione pleaded.

Ginny patted her affectionately on the arm. "Don't worry, they'll view you as the innocent victim. You should be fearing for Sirius."

Ginny rushed on past her and left the room with Sirina in her arms and Harry closely behind. Hermione glared at the spot where their only allies just exited.

Ron gulped. "Why doest Sirina look like Sirius?"

Hermione rubbed her temples and took a deep breath, hoping for a little courage. "Because…," she faltered, "Sirina is Sirius' daughter."

"WHAT!" Molly screamed, her face as red as her hair. "YOU…YOU…YOU..," she flew at Sirius in a fit, smacking him repeatedly with her hand.

"Molly!" Hermione called, trying to stop the older woman. "He was…"

"SHE WAS SEVENTEEN! I HAVE NEVER KNOWN A MORE IRRESPONSIBLE MAN! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING GETTING A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD PREGNANT?"

"STOP!"

Everyone turned in the room to look at Fred and George who were standing on the couch trying to grab everyone's attention.

"We were just wondering..," Fred said.

"How if Sirius has been 'dead' or whatever until a couple weeks ago," added George.

"And Sirina is about 4 months old now."

"Meaning Hermione got pregnant while she was still at Hogwarts."

"And Sirius was dead at that time."

"How is Sirius Sirina's father?"

Bill chuckled. "They do have a point."

Tonks surveyed her cousin. "I'm wondering that too, although Sirina does look an awful lot like you."

Hermione and Sirius glanced at each other. "Well…you see, when I disappeared, I actually went back in time."

"How far back?" Bill asked.

"Er…about 20 years."

"So…," that would mean you got there during the Marauder's last year…," Tonks concluded.

"So Sirius here was only…," Fred said after a thought."

"Seventeen?" George finished.

Sirius smiled. "Correct. I didn't know she was from the future…well, not until the night she told me she was leaving."

"I bet you they had one hell of a going away party," George told his twin quietly.

"I heard that George Weasley!" Molly said threateningly.

"Sorry mum," he said quietly.

Sirius placed an arm reassuringly around Hermione. "Look Molly, we were both seventeen when it happened. She didn't tell you guys because she didn't want you guys to pity her because she was alone. But I'm here now and I don't plan on going anywhere."

"Maybe we should go see how Harry and Ginny are fairing," Fred said to his twin and two brothers.

"Yeah," they all agreed quickly and jumped to their feet.

"Hey, you're not leaving me in here when they duke it out," Tonks proclaimed and hurried after the red-haired Weasley brothers.

Hermione and Sirius shared a skeptical look as the others hurried out, leaving them alone with Molly. They turned back to find her face returning to a shade of white.

"Molly," Hermione started, pleadingly, "when I was with Sirius, it was some of the happiest times of my life. There was no war, no threat that I would one day wake up and find someone I loved dead. I loved him and he loved me and it was so simple. He made me happy."

"Didn't we?" Molly asked sadly.

"You made me very happy," Hermione said, smiling at the older woman. "You are like a second mother to me and I'll always love you. But with Sirius, it's a different kind of love. I didn't want to leave him because I knew he would be dead when I came back. I didn't want to tell you guys because I was scared that you would feel sorry for me. I knew I wouldn't be able to remain strong if you guys felt sorry for me."

"We would of took care of you," Molly rushed to say.

Hermione smiled. "I know, but I needed to take care of myself first before I could let anyone try to take care of me."

Hermione stepped back and took a hold of Sirius' hand. "Sirius and I are together now. We're going to try to make this work. Please support us."

Sirius, who had been watching this without saying a word, decided to speak up and try to get Molly to see that his feeling were real. "Do you remember Molly when we were at the Black House how I always watched over Hermione more than the others?"

Molly nodded, "Yes. I believe I asked you about it once."

"Do you remember what I told you?"

"Yes. You told me that she reminded you of a girl you once loved with all your heart."

"Yes I did," Sirius said softly. "I also said, when you asked, that the girl still owned my heart because I knew one day I would see her again. And I did, only she didn't remember me."

Molly wiped a tear from her eye. "You said that your one chance at happiness was over when she walked out of your life. You said that she was your one happy thought in Azkaban, the one that you never gave up to the Dementors."

"I love Hermione. I always have and always will. She helped me survive the hardest times of my life and I need her now. Please. Please allow us to be together. I don't think I can lose her again."

Molly smiled at them through tear-filled eyes. "You two! You remind me so much of me and Arthur. Go on and be happy. Give that little angel a family."

Hermione and Sirius both grabbed a hold of Molly and hugged her tight. "Thank you," Hermione whispered.

"What's going on?"

"Shh!"

"Are they fighting?"

"Any screaming?"

"Any killing?"

"WOULD YOU ALL JUST SHUT IT!"

"Fine."

"Whatever you say."

"Dear Merlin," Ginny whispered as she glared at the twins before placing the extendable ear back into her ear to listen. Harry stood beside her, listening through another one.

"What cha hear?"

"I am going to hex the next person who says anything to oblivion!" Ginny threatened.

The twins, both knowing the full power of her bat-hogey hex, stepped back until they were hidden behind Tonks and Bill.

"YES!" Ginny suddenly exclaimed.

"What?"

"Did she kill them?"

"No, she's accepting their relationship," Harry told them with a giant smile on his face.

Fred and George looked disappointed.

"So no fights?" George asked.

"No deaths?" Fred asked.

"Not today guys," Bill laughed.

"I wonder how long it would have been before they'd have told us if Ron hadn't noticed the similarities," Tonks mumbled.

"They were going to tell tonight anyways," Harry informed her.

Ron stared at his best friend in horror. "So you knew and didn't tell me?"

Harry blushed. "Well…I wanted too, but it was their place to tell not mine or Ginny's."

Ron looked over at his sister, furious. "You knew too?"

Ginny rolled her eyes. "Of course I knew Ronald, she had to tell someone and she wouldn't tell a guy," she said hotly.

"Oh, yeah," Ron muttered.

"So should we get this little tyke back out to her parents?" Bill asked as he lifted Sirina into his arms. She immediately grabbed his fang earring and jerked. "OW!"

"I told you that you should get rid of that stupid looking earring," Molly said from the doorway.

"I used to like it…," Bill muttered, rubbing his ear, "now I think I'll rethink the whole dangling earring thing."

"I think you should rethink the whole earring thing," Molly imputed.

"Mum…" Bill warned.

"Alright, alright…," Molly conceded. She held out her arms. "Well, hand her here."

Bill instantaneously handed the earring puller over to his mother. "Gladly."

Hermione and Sirius walked in at that moment. Everyone looked at them. "What?" Sirius asked innocently.

"Are you two going to get married?" One of the twins piped up.

"Or are you going to continue having kids out of wedlock?" The other asked.

"We're going to take it slow," Sirius answered.

"We don't want to rush into anything," Hermione added. "But…"

"But I'm going to move in with her to help with Sirina," Sirius added.

Fred winked and nudged Sirius. "So we should be expecting more little Sirius'?"

"FRED WEASLEY!" Molly and Ginny exclaimed.

George draped his arm around Harry's shoulder. "Pity you mate, Ginny's going to be another mum."

"Yeah," Ron piped up, "have fun with that one."

"Oh you guys," Molly huffed, "let's eat."

A/N: Okay, that sucked! I'm sorry this was bad and it took a while…I've been at the hospital a lot lately with my grandpa. Hospital chairs are NOT comfy beds, believe me, I should know after spending one whole night in one. Anyways, I hope you guys will forgive me for the bad chapter and the time it will probably take me to update again. My gramps will be in there a while. For three or four weeks at least and if I'm not there, I'll be babysitting my little cousin. Sorry! I tried to make this a little longer to make up for everything but then I got writer's block and couldn't think of anything else.

Prize time!

Okay, no one got the prize this time. The answer was South Korea. Sorry about that. No trivia question for this chapter. Don't have time. Sorry!

Please Review!
