Note: This chapter was edited to change the word telescopes to microscopes. lol stupid mistake on my part which teaches me never to post and write while tired. lol

I'm really sorry this took so long guys! It has been a busy week for me here and my brain needed a little rest from writing as well. I hope this chapter will somewhat make up for my lack of writing.

If you all were confused at all by the last chapter…Hermione's virginity was a topic that had been discussed before their meeting that day. Just clarifying that if you hadn't caught it.

Thanks to everyone that reviewed. I pretty tired tonight so I'll write more intensive thank yous when I write the next chapter.

The hallways of the first floor of the compound were bedlam since Remus had blown up the control room for security. Because of this it made it difficult for him to maneuver himself without being detected. The confusion was good though because when Harry, Ron and Severus made their move it would be easier for them to enter the building undetected.

A guard moved close to Remus and he ducked quickly into an open doorway and immediately felt the hair on the back of his neck prickle. Turning around he saw a row of cages filled with dogs. One of them was empty and he wondered if it was where Sirius had been placed before he was taken to Hermione. His eyes widened as he noticed a severed arm laying inside the kennel and he couldn't help but cringe at the thought.

Remus turned and looked out the doorway for a moment and when he turned to look back at the dogs he knew what he would do. With a swish and a flick all the cage doors swung open and several of the dogs peaked their noses out curiously. He quickly cast a disillusionment charm upon himself just before he cast a Confundus Charm on all the dogs. The animals shook their heads and staggered a bit and when one of the guards burst into the room he startled the animals enough to send them over the edge.

Remus tried to contain his chuckle as the guard ran out of the room screaming while three very angry and confused dogs chased after him. When he peaked out to see what was going on in the hallway, what used to be bedlam had turned into pandemonium. 'Perfect' He thought to himself and he slipped into the elevator. Hermione and Sirius were not on the third floor, that he was sure off having seen them leave earlier in the day. He also knew that they were not on the first, so that left only the second floor so he pushed the button and watched the doors slide closed.

'Patience' he told himself in his head as he felt his nerves. His entire body was taught from the excitement around him, and his head was starting to ache. He realized it was probably from hunching over under the cloak. It was amazing how much larger the cloak had seemed when he was a boy. The doors slid open and Remus quietly slipped out as a guard entered.

Looking to his right he saw the medical room that they had taken the polyjuiced guard into. Several staff members were inside looking through microscopes and taking notes. His eyes scanned the hallway which was a series of doors. He wasn't sure what one Hermione and Sirius would be behind so he tried to trail their scent. Slowly he moved from one door to another, ducking quickly when the odd guard would move past him and then sniffing each doorway until he came to the end and their scent was strong.

'This must be it.' He thought to himself and quietly said "Alohomora". He opened the door and slipped in, closing it before letting any guards in the hallway see. Once in the room he listened closely to make sure it was only Hermione and Sirius within and when satisfied he slipped the cloak off and made his way up the stairs. When he reached the top he heard a shower running and the smell of running water hit his nose. He couldn't tell where each of them were exactly so he let himself into the bedroom and noticing it empty he decided to wait on the bed for the two lovebirds to enter.

Hermione and Sirius lay side by side for awhile, basking in the post coital bliss. Their bodies had cooled and their breathing had regulated and they both lay in silence. Hermione tilted her head to look at Sirius's profile before rolling over onto her side to lift her head so she could look down at him.

"You aren't regretting anything are you?" She asked softly.

"No!" He replied vehemently, "Are you?"

"No." She responded with a smile and traced a fingertip from between his eyes down along his nose until she reached it's tip. Sirius started up at her and his brow furrowed when he saw her smile turn from innocent to sad.

"I know it is wrong for us to be doing this now, here. It is wrong on so many levels, but I just can't seem to help myself. It is as if I can sense that this could be the only time left for us." Her voice hitched briefly and she took a deep breath.

"Love, don't say such words." Sirius said in a somewhat angry tone while his palm rested upon her cheek. The look in his eyes spoke volumes for Hermione and she nodded before placing a soft kiss upon his lips.

"I have a need for a shower I think." Hermione said suddenly before turning her body and hopping out of the bed. Sirius thought of the last time he saw Hermione wet and he couldn't help the growl that rumbled in his throat. She giggled softly in response and shrieked softly when he suddenly bolted off the bed and chased her into the bathroom.

He caught her and swung her around, pressing her up against the counter in the washroom and his mouth dived down to claim hers. They kissed passionately for a few minutes and then Hermione managed to pull from his embrace to start the water in the shower stall. Sirius watched as she pulled a little knob and the water suddenly stopped pouring from a spout near the bottom and sprayed from the showerhead above. Muggle items still fascinated him whenever he saw them and he rather liked this one, especially with a naked and wet Hermione inside of it.

"Are you just going to leer at me all day or will you join me?" She asked him with a wicked tone. Sirius chuckled and entered the stall leaving little room for them to move around.

The two of them spent their time soaping each other's bodies and kissing various bits of skin. It was a loving exchange, each of them wanting to memorize the other as if this would be their last time with one another. Their dream had become a reality and it was tough for them to not think of it as a fleeting moment. When they were done washing bodies and hair Sirius stepped out and grabbed a large fluffy towel and held it up for Hermione to step into.

Hermione smiled lovingly to him when she saw him wanting to take care of her needs before his and when she stepped into the towel he wrapped his arms and the towel around her. She tilted her head when she turned slightly and managed to catch his lips for a soft kiss before murmuring her thanks.

The two of them dried themselves off. Hermione had finished first and she couldn't help herself when she saw a smaller towel folded on the countertop. Grabbing the towel she twirled it around and with a deft flick and swish the towel snapped loudly and nipped Sirius in the rump. He jumped forward and grabbed his butt cheek and turned to give Hermione an evil glare. Her eyes widened and she suddenly realized just how vulnerable she was and with another shriek she ran into the bedroom to escape.

Sirius jumped and ran forward only to smash into her back when he rounded the corner to follow her into the bedroom. Sirius heard her grunt from the impact and his hands darted out reflexively to catch her before she fell.

"Hermione I can't believe you. Do you realize what kind of situation you two are in? Ahhh." Remus growled in frustration while flinging his hands into the air.

"Sirius really you couldn't wait till after this whole mess is behind us?" Remus continued.

"I well, er…no.." Sirius replied sheepishly.

"Remus, what if we don't have a chance again? There were no cameras anymore, and there was no one here well except for you now." It was Hermione's turn to look sheepish when she finished speaking.

Remus sighed softly and rubbed his face with his hand. "Well I'm just glad you two finally got over your stupidity and realized what you mean to each other. As for the camera's being removed, if I hadn't destroyed the monitors I think one of the guards would have gotten a nice view of Sirius's arse."

Hermione's face turned various shades of crimson and Sirius smirked. "It is a nice view isn't it Moony."

Remus rolled his eyes and shook his head. "For Hermione yes, for me and several guards no. Anyways, the others should be coming in to help get us all out soon, so we should get a plan together."

Hermione nodded. "Yes of course, do you mind if I do it dressed though?"

It was Remus's turn to show the various shades of red a face could turn and he nodded brusquely. "Of course, I'm sorry. You my friend should as well. The last thing we need is for your towel to slip while we make our way out of this place."

"At least it would cause a distraction." Sirius chuckled.

"You wish." Remus growled.

"No you wish." Sirius replied.

"That doesn't make any sense Padfoot." Remus chuckled.

"Ok I'm a little addled. I blame Hermione for it." Sirius said with a devilish grin.

"Just get dressed." Remus said as he laughed.

Harry, Ron and Severus were preparing themselves to make their move. There was something going on inside the base that they were unsure about, but if Harry could hazard a guess he would have to say it was compliments of Moony. Ron had determined that even though less came out of the base than entered it they would have to take advantage of whatever confusion was abound.

His friend's sharp eyes indicated where cameras were located on the building and they had created their route that they would take. Their plan was to disable the cameras surrounding the building first and then get themselves within.

Harry had notified Albus that they were about to make their move by calling Ron's father on a cell phone. The man's obsession with all things muggle made the ownership of such an instrument a necessity and at moments like this Harry was thankful he did. Magic was great, but sometimes Muggles had some great technological items.

With their plan of attack ready the group of men ran swiftly through the trees, winding their way down into the revine with stealth and speed. Night was falling now and the darkness would only help them to hide. Halfway down to their destination Harry realized that Severus had stopped following. He called out to Ron for him to wait and when he turned to look at his old potion's professor he saw an emotion on the man's face he didn't think he had ever seen before.

Horror, guilt and shock were all there within the man's dark eyes but he stood their mutely looking upwards. Harry turned his head to see what Severus was looking at. When he looked up it was just in time to catch the clouds parting themselves, much like the red sea, to reveal the large bluish white orb within the sky. Harry gasped and turned to ask Severus if Remus had taken his wolfsbane potion, but seeing the expression on the man's face was answer enough.

"Oh dear Merlin." Harry whispered and Severus jumped slightly as if startled and looked into the young man's green eyes.

"We need to get in there now Potter." Severus growled.

"Ron, shit Ron we need to get in there now!" Harry took off at a run and within seconds Severus and Ron followed shortly behind.
