"Heeeeeeeeeey, not fair." Hermione moaned in her sleepy state, she turned onto her side and tried to curl up to return to slumber, but it was no use, she was just too cold and uncomfortable without her duvet. She let out an annoyed yet amused sigh and sat up.

"Fine. You win." She stated to Sirius, who was currently standing at the end of her bed, holding her duvet after whipping it from her. He gave her one of his rugged smiles and chucked the duvet at the bottom of the bed,

"Good, 'cause your tea's going cold." He said, indicating to her bedside table, which had a large mug on it, brimming with hot liquid.

Hermione looked amazed as she propped herself against the bed stand,

"You made me tea?"

Sirius replied with merely a glance, he raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly,

"Molly made you tea."

Smiling, Hermione shrugged and took a sip whilst Sirius sat down on the edge of her bed and began to tie his boot laces. Hermione eyed his faded dark jeans and scruffy blue shirt,

"Are you going out?" She asked, curiously.

"Yeah, I need to go into Diagon alley to get a few things. I can't believe we've been here four days already, I've got so much to sort out." Sirius replied, finishing his boots then turning to Hermione.

"I'm taking Harry. Ron and Ginny missed you at breakfast, I told them you were busy snoring up here but they didn't care- they just insisted that I come and wake you."

"Hey I do not Snore!" Hermione laughed, "But I know what you mean, I must have missed an enormous mount of school work, I've been trying not think about it else the worries will invade my dreams." Hermione said, biting her lower lip.

Sirius stood up grinning,

"Honestly Hermione, you must be the one human being who has seen the terrible sights behind the veil, and now has nightmares about schoolwork."

"I thought you were going!" She declared, swinging her legs round her bed and shuffling into her slippers.

"Sure am. " He said, heading for the door, he brought his hand up to his chin and felt his nearly-becoming beard. "I really should have shaved today." He said, almost to himself. Hermione ignored him but shuffled along to the bathroom, clutching her cup of tea.

"Sirius, Harry will be waiting for you, no one is going to mind the state of your beard but they will mind if you don't turn up for another ten minutes." She said pointedly.

Sirius grinned,

"As usual Hermione, your logic astounds me. I will be back later." He said, opening the door to leave.

"Oh Sirius! "Hermione suddenly said, making Sirius turn from the door, "Don't get into any trouble will you"?
