--HGSB--

Back in Grimauld Place..

Harry was eating his pancakes and listening to the wizarding wireless, he stopped eating and focused on the wireless though when he heard the exclusive news.

"...And the Ministry has passed a new Marriage Law that would require all the unmarried muggleborns who are of age to marry the unmarried purebloods who are of age..."

He zoned out after that when he recalled what had happened in the morning, how is best friend has stormed into the house demanding the whereabouts of Sirius. He quickly put two and two together realizing what it meant. He was about to further contemplate his theory when the floo roared to life. He turned around to see Hermione stepping out of the floo, muttering incentives under her breath.

When she saw that Harry was about to ask her something, she simply shook her head and said "Not now Harry, I am tired and hungry. We'll discuss this once Sirius is here."

Harry nodded his head and sat in silence while Hermione ate her pancakes occasionally sipping her pumpkin juice. She was halfway through her meal when the floo roared to life once again, making the duo look up on just in time to see Sirius exit the floo regally, though the effect was lost when he stumbled and fell down face first.

Harry and Hermione looked at him with mildly concealed amusement. He just stood up, shrugged his shoulder and said, "What? this happens with everyone, I'm not the only one who stumbled like this." Seeing that now both Harry and Hermione were on the verge of hysterical laughter he said, "I'm not kidding,this happens with people all the time and who the hell placed the table here anyway."

The teens just rolled their eyes. After few moments of awkward silence in which Hermione just ate her pancakes and Sirius fixed himself some cornflakes, Harry unable to hold back anymore blurted out, " Well are you guys going to tell me what's the matter or not?"

Hermione who had finished her pancakes and pumpkin juice, looked at Harry straight in the eye and asked, "Why don't you tell us what you know about the matter and we'll tell you the rest of the matter."

Knowing his friend meant businesses and no funny nonsense,he sat up straighter and said, " Well I do know that the Ministry has passed a law, a Marriage Law to be specific and it requires the muggleborns to marry the purebloods and if my guess is correct then, you are paired with Sirius. Am I right?"

Sirius looked at Harry with wide eyes and said "Wha.. how? how did you know?"

Both Harry and Hermione said "Wizarding wireless" at the same time, to which the older man just said "Oh!"

"Well yes, it's true, in about the time of few days I'll be marrying your godfather here and will be becoming Mrs.Hermione Black. That is unless he wants to call of this wedding and lose all his magic and the memories he has of the wizarding world." The witch turned to her intended and raised an eyebrow at the last part, who just stared at her back as if she has lost her mind.

" Of course I don't want to call the wedding off, I mean I don't want to lose my magic and the memories I've of this world. That is unless you want to call the wedding off. "

The witch shook her head and said, " No, of course I don't want to cancel this wedding. Merlin I can't even imagine how my life would be if I am not around the magic, I can't even think of forgetting about the Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, the Wesleys, about you, Remus, Tonks, Dumbledore. I don't want to forget any day of my life that I've spent since knowing that I was a witch."

Harry though just stared at the pair, shook his head slightly and sighed a deep sigh."Merlin,I can't believe that in a couple of weeks my best friend will have to marry my godfather, it's fucking crazy. What in the name of Dumbledore was the Ministry even thinking pairing you with someone who is almost double your age and just a couple of years younger than your father. I knew the Ministry was bonkers before, but Kingsley should have thought twice before pairing you both."

Hermione stared at her best friend with wide eyes whilst Sirius just got up and left the room, banging the kitchen door loudly on his way out,startling the teens. Harry stared at the now closed door with wide eyes unsure of what had made his godfather so angry. Hermione too stared at the door for a few moments before excusing herself.

She went upstairs in search of Sirius and found him exactly where she thought she would, in Buckbeak's room. He was staring at Buckbeak, who was tied in a corner. His hands were shoved in his pants pocket. One would've thought that he was merely watching the creature, if it was not for his tense posture. She just stood at the door silently watching him for Merlin knows how long, before he spoke, startling her.

"Does Harry really think that I am such a bad guy that I can't even take care of you." His words showed how hurt he was by what Harry has said. He turned around and looked at her in the eyes and said "Am I really that bad Guddu?" Guddu was the nickname he used for her. It was the nickname of Parvati and Padma Patil's mother's,who was a very good friend of the Marauders and died recently. He said that she looked a lot like Hermione when she was younger and thus started calling Hermione as Guddu. Though what shook her the most was the look he was giving her, she had never seen such a look on his face. It was a mixture of sadness, helplessness and desperation to be proved that he was wrong, that he wasn't a bad guy afterall.

"Sirius you know that what Harry said downstairs wasn't directed towards you. He is just angry about the situation. You know how much Harry loves you and looks upon you. Try to understand, it's hard for him too, knowing that his best friend is going to marry his godfather and will be having his godfather's babies." The witch stared back into his eyes all the time, so that he could see that whatever she said was true.

"I know he doesn't mean what he said, but still I feel like some sort of cradle robber. It makes me feel like I'm some sort of perverted old man who likes to bed young girl. Plus, when I see you with Harry it feels even more weirder, since I always thought of Harry as my son and you being his best friend..Ugh it's so frustrating..." He looked so helpless that the witch was unable to just stand there and watch him suffering like this.

She crossed the gap between them and hugged him tightly, he instinctively returned the embrace. For what felt like hours but were just few minutes the paired stood just like that, embracing one another.

After few moments, Hermione gently extracted herself from his embrace and looked at him. She barely reached his shoulders and had to tilt back her head a bit more in order to make eye contact with him. She placed her left palm on his face cupping his cheek, while her right palm rested flatly on his chest, just where his heart was beating.

"Sirius Orion Black, never think of yourself so lowly ever. You are a very good person, a person whom I would like to know more about, not as the godfather of my best friend but as the man whom I'll be marrying soon. I want to know the real you Sirius, the one who is much more than some prankster, more than the lady's man he has been called as. I don't think that you are a cradle robber at all Sirius. We're in the world of magic where the gap of nineteen or twenty years is normal. Also I'm of the age and am perfectly capable of handling my life on my own. Don't think of what people will think about you, it's their job, if you start thinking what the people will be thinking about you, then what would they have to think about. "

The wizard was in awe of the words that she's said, and even more mesmerized by the sincerity behind them that shone in her eyes. He moved his head just a bit and kissed the inside of her wrist and placed his other hand on her right hand which was still on his chest.

"I promise you Guddu, I would try to be the best husband and the best dad. I won't disappoint you. I swear on my magic as a wizard that I'll always be there for you when you'll need me." Hermione knew that he meant each and every word he said. After all he was a Gryffindor to his core.

" Oh you silly old man, stop it or else you would have to deal with a crying witch." The witch said good naturedly.

"Oh you think I'm an old man,huh?I'll show you just how active this old man is." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and grabbed the witch by her waist causing the witch to shriek in surprise.

"Get your paws of me Black." She said through her laughter.

"Oh do you really want to see the paws, fine then, your wish my command." Before she could say anything Sirius had changed into his animagus form and started licking her all over the face, causing the witch to roll on to the floor with hysterical laughter.

"Eww, bad dogy. Get off me this instant Black or else you would have to face the consequences." When the dog didn't move from atop her she sighed and said "Fine, have it your way." She quickly turned into her own animagus form which was a black kitten and started tackling the large dog.

That was how Harry found his best friend and godfather. He entered the room and stood shock still at the sight in front of him. His best friend and godfather were rolling on the floor in their animagus form while Buckbeak just stood in the corner as if willing the wall to swallow it before the crazy couple included him in their craziness as well. He just shook his head and went downstairs.

A/N- Well so that was the third chapter. How was it??? liked it?loved it ? Want to give some suggestions? As for the nickname Guddu it was the nickname of one of my closest friend who died two years ago in an accident. She was a Potterhead too so I thought that it would be fitting if I gave her nickname to one of the characters. I just feel had she been alive she would have definitely been ecstatic about it and would have helped me with the story as well. She was always a Sirimione shipper.

Please forgive any spelling or grammar mistakes that may have been there .

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year ... May this year take away all your miseries and the New Year bring you all the joy and happiness..

Review guys please do REVIEW... It will only take you few moments but I'll be having a very happy Christmas and New year...

Love you all,
