Harry fell out of the fireplace and started to curse under his breath.

"Watch your language Potter" Ron teased helping Harry to his feet.

"Sodd off Ron" Harry muttered shaking his friend off. Ron raised his eyebrows at his tone and his remark.

"What's with you?" Ron asked.

"You will not believe it" Harry started. "After we left Malfoy Manor, I found Hermione and Sirius kissing"

"Kissing?" Ron echoed looking dumbstruck.

"Can you believe it?" Harry asked, waiting for Ron to rampage.

But Ron just sat down on the couch and shrugged, 'It's a little weird but whatever makes her happy"

"Excuse me?" Harry asked not quite believing what he was hearing.

"Look he is better than Malfoy right?" Ron asked. Harry just stared at Ron as though he had never seen him. "Maybe it's about time we let Mione take care of herself. If she cares about Sirius then let's just be happy for her"

Harry sighed and was just about to reply when he heard someone apparate in. He turned around to see his fiancé glaring at him.

"Ginny?" he started feeling a little confused by her expression.

"You spoilt child" Ginny hissed, "What is wrong with you?"

"I-uh-I" Harry stammered not sure how to defend himself.

Ginny walked up and pushed Harry to the fireplace, 'Go apologize to your godfather and to Hermione, right now"

Harry sized Ginny up and realized she was serious and he had no choice. He took a handful of floo powder and went back to Grimmauld place.

"Hello son" lily greeted Harry when he walked into the kitchen.

"I am sorry" Harry mumbled to his mother she turned to face him.

"It's ok" Lily told him. "You were upset but I suggest you talk you Sirius and Hermione"

"Yeah" Harry replied and he sprinted up the stairs. He decided to talk to Hermione first because he felt the worse about what he said to her. He knocked softly on her bedroom door.

"Who is it?" Hermione called, sounding as though she had been crying.

"The worst friend ever" Harry replied. For a moment there was silence then Harry heard her say.

"Well come in then"

He opened the door and grinned sheepishly at Hermione, "I am surprised you're speaking to me " Harry admitted.

"I wanted to see how you would apologize" Hermione answered.

"I am so sorry Mione" Harry started, "I was being so childish. The idea of you and Sirius freaked me out because Sirius is like dad to me in a lot of ways. But I talked to Ron and he was right if you're happy then I am happy"

"Ron said that?" Hermione asked.

"Not those exact words but something similar" Harry replied, "I know it was odd seeing Ron be the mature one for once but he was. I was the idiot"

Hermione smiled ruefully at Harry, "We are all entitled to being moronic once. I forgive you"

" Thank you" Harry said hugging Hermione. "So, are you and Sirius?" Harry asked. Hermione's eyes clouded over and she shook her head.

'No" Hermione said softly. "I don't know what I was thinking. Sirius and I couldn't work out. I just…" Hermione trailed off. She shrugged and looked out the window.

"Do you love him?' Harry asked.

"Enough to miss a chance to be with Draco" Hermione answered. Harry squeezed her hand.

"Love you Mione" Harry told her. "I have another person whom I need to apologize"

Hermione nodded then grinned at Harry, "before you ask, it was your moms idea to set Ginny on you". Hermione erupted into a fit of giggles and Harry shrugged

"I deserved it" Harry said and Hermione agreed.

Sirius was sitting on the porch when his godson approached. Harry sat down wordlessly beside him and then cleared his throat. "I am sorry" Harry mumbled. Sirius looked at Harry.

"No, I am sorry" Sirius replied. "I should have taken you're feelings into consideration before"

"Before what?' Harry interrupted, "Before you fell in love? That doesn't make much sense. You can't help whom you love. I am sorry I was being a prat."

Sirius threw his arm around Harry's shoulder, "don't worry about it kid" Sirius said. "You're James Potter's son being a prat come naturally"

For a long moment the two were silent watching Crookshanks playing the yard. "She loves you" Harry told him.

"Poor girl" Sirius mumbled.

"Don't say things like that" Harry replied, "You're a great guy. You would be lucky to have one another."

"Yeah, she would be really lucky to have me" Sirius joked, "Scruffy, unemployed, irresponsible, broken me"

"I think she would love to have any part of you" Harry replied. Before Sirius could answer there was a loud voices coming from inside. Both jumped to their feet and made it inside, their wands at the ready.

"Put those down" Lily snapped when she saw them, 'Nothing is wrong, no curses are needs. Tonks is in labor that's all"

"We are heading to the hospital" Remus said, his voice a little weaker than usual. "We will let you know something…when we know something."

"Wow" Harry said, "This is the second baby that has been born in less than a year"

Hermione and Sirius locked eyes for a moment and then Hermione turned to leave, "Speaking of baby's I am going to check on Em"

"Go talk to her" Harry hissed pushing Sirius toward the stairs. He glared at his godson but followed the young woman anyway.
