"What if I were to find a way to enchant something and send it to my past for only Harry to see." Hermione was pondering this when she

heard a knock at her door. "Who is it?" she called out

"It's Remus"

Remus? Hermione knew that didn't sound like Remus...but who would pretend? She knew...

"Come off it Sirius Black, I know it's you!"

"Aww Minnie, why must you use my full name?"

"It's your given name Sirius Black, tell me why I shouldn't use it." Hermione replied grumpily. She still felt somewhat hurt about their jests

earlier that day.

"Minnie, please just open the door? I've got to speak with you about an urgent matter! Be a good girl yeah?"

"Fine Sirius, you may come in." Hermione harrumphed

Sirius waited to hear the familiar "click" of the door, and slowly made his way into the room. He looked at Hermione and felt his heart melt.

She was sitting there in a her white bathrobe, hair up in a messy bun, nose red from crying, and yet, she had never looked more beautiful to

Sirius as she did in that moment.

Sirius gulped audibly, bringing Hermione out of her reverie. She made the mistake of looking up and was instantly mesmerized by what she

saw. His eyes held such pure adoration and, she knew it was for her. In such a short time she had found herself caring for him so much. As

she looked into those deep, devastating blue eyes, the world disappeared without a trace. She got up out of bed and made her way to the

middle of the room where Sirius stood.

"Hermione." he whispered in a voice that made her knees buckle. She didn't dare to breathe as her rebellious feet brought her closer to him.

Sirius didn't know what to do. She looked so fragile, standing there before him, her eyes aglow with emotion. He brought his hand to her

face and brushed away the rebellious strands of hair hiding her beautiful brown eyes.

"I wish this man would just kiss me!" Hermione thought to herself. But then, Sirius had never been one to follow rules. He slipped his hands

down to her waist and pulled her to him. He embraced her in a way that spoke volumes-and that's all it took. That was all it took for

Hermione's well-built wall to come crumbling down. She felt her eyes give way to her tears, and she felt Sirius stiffen at the sound of her

heart wrenching sobs.

"Minnie, what's wrong? I'm sorry about ignoring you! We just wanted you and James to spend more time with us! Please don't cry love."

he said hurriedly

"Oh Siri, it's not not you-it's- it's everything else. There's so much happening and I can fix it, but I don't even know where to begin! I can't

lose you all, I couldn't bear it! Knowing I could've saved you all and I didn't! It would kill me!" Hermione choked out.

Sirius let the weight of her words soak in. He suppressed his initial rash reaction and decided that he needed to be strong for her.

"It'll be okay." he whispered into her soft hair "We'll think of something."

He placed a light kiss on her forehead and let her cry into his chest. His heart breaking with every sob.
