I'm really sorry this has took so long. College is so much harder than I imagined and I'm really struggling to keep afloat.

Wrote this while I'm ill, so sorry if its not up to much.

Thank you for everyone who's stayed with me from the beginning, each and every review has made my day.

"Harry, I'm so sorry, we didn't want you to find out this way and..." Hermione began to ramble, until Harry just held his finger up to her as he looked upon the couple.

"'Hermione, are you happy?" Harry sat down opposite the couple, looking straight into Hermione's eyes.

Hermione smiled shyly and looked up at Sirius, nodding her head.

"Sirius, are you happy?" He asked his godfather.

Sirius kissed Hermione's head and nodded towards Harry

"Well, that's all that matters then isn't it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've owe a lady some lovin'", he got up and swaggered off, and the next thing the couple heard was Ginny giggling and the whoosh of the fireplace.

"That went well love" Sirius said as he nuzzled into Hermione's neck. Hermione sighed, pressing her body closer to Sirius', not liking any space between them.

"Come on, let's go to bed" Hermione stood up and began to pull Sirius up.

"Wait 'Mione, just, sit down for a second." Hermione looked puzzled as she sat back down. Sirius knelt in front of the young woman, and took her hands in his.

"I just want to say it before I chicken out. These past few years, I've watched you grow into this, amazing young woman. I admire your beauty, I admire your strength, and I admire the person you've become. You make me a better man Hermione Granger, and what I'm trying to say is..."

Before he knew what had happened, Hermione's lips were attached to his. He returned her kiss deeply, and then Hermione pulled away, resting her forehead on his.

"I love you Sirius Black." She said breathily.

"I love you." He returned, and without warning stood up, swept her up into his strong arms and carried her to her bedroom.


10 Days Later (Christmas Eve)

The morning sun streamed through the maroon curtains, onto the sleeping couple. Hermione stirred, opening her eyes and adjusting to the light. Her gaze fell upon the man sleeping next to her. She trailed her finger down his chiselled chest, and he shifted slightly. He opened one eye groggily and said "Mornin' beautiful".

"Morning" Hermione said as she leant down and pressed her lips to his.

He leant up onto one elbow and wrapped his other arm around Hermione, the sheet dropping from her body. "I wouldn't mind waking up to this every morning" he winked, and began to kiss her hungrily.

"OH MY MERLIN HERMIONE HE PROPOSED AND WE'RE GETTING MARRIED...Ooh sorry guys" Ginny had rushed in and flung the door open, only to see a very naked Hermione and Sirius.

"Guess I should have knocked" She blushed, as Hermione scrambled to find the sheet while she covered herself up.

"Sorry Gin, just give me five minutes" Hermione blushed, as her best friend left the room giggling like a naughty schoolgirl.


Hermione entered the kitchen to Ginny waiting with two cups of steaming hot tea on the table. She sat down and immediately began to question the redhead.

"So...YOU'RE ENGAGED!!" She screamed happily, grabbing Ginny's hands.

"Yes! It was so perfect 'Mione. Christmas, we were just in my flat, in bed, and we were just talking after, well, you know, and he just did it, and pulled out a ring box from under the pillow" She sighed, resting her chin on her hands. "It was just the right proposal for us, simple but so romantic!"

Hermione squealed, her excitement building up for her best friend. "What exactly did he say?"

"Gin, I love you. They say home is where the heart is, and home for me is you. I want to spend the rest of my life waking up next to you. Will you marry me?" She wiped a tear away from her eyes, beaming at Hermione.

"Oh Ginny, I'm so happy for you." Hermione walked around the table and embraced her.

"I'm so happy 'Mione, ridiculously happy. Oh my Merlin, I'm going to be Ginny Potter!" She squealed.

"That has a nice ring to it" Hermione laughed.

"Right, I'm gonna go back to my fiancé, I have a fiancé 'Mione!" Ginny laughed, as she stepped into the fireplace.

"Go! Give Harry my love" Hermione laughed, as the whoosh of the fireplace took Ginny back to her Harry.


The brunette was stood in the kitchen, holding her cup of tea when she felt a pair of arms snake around her middle. She felt his warm breath on her neck.

"So they're engaged?" Sirius said in-between kisses.

"Yeah they are. They're so lucky." She sighed as she took a sip of her tea.

"Well, do you want to be engaged" Sirius kissed her cheek.

Hermione spun round and glared at him.

"Please don't tell me THAT was a proposal. Don't even think that that's how your gonna do it." She said with a look of distain upon her face. She turned round and walked out of the kitchen into the sitting room.


Sirius rummaged around in his pocket, fingering the simple diamond ring he'd bought days before during christmas shopping with Harry. He hadn't quite known why he was buying it so soon, but he had seen it and immediately thought of Hermione.

"It's now or never" Sirius thought and he followed the love of his life into the sitting room.

Hermione sat on the couch with her arms folded across her chest. She felt the couch dip slightly as Sirius sat next to her.

"'Mione?' he said quietly.

"Yes." She said curtly.

"I love you."

Those three simple words made her melt. It didn't matter how irritated she was with him, she could hear him say those words to her for the rest of their life.

"I love you too." She gave up, and snuggled into him.

"Mind if I give you your present early?" He grinned at her, hoping she said yes.

"Oooh" she squealed, "course not!"

He reached into his pocket and held the ring out on his palm. Hermione gasped, her hand against her mouth.

"I imagine how my life would be like in 20 years, and the person sat next to is you. You're the one I imagine raising children with. You're the one who I imagine growing old with. I love you with everything I've got, and if you're willing, I want to spend the rest of my life loving you. Hermione Jean Granger, will you marry me?"

A single tear rolled down Hermione's face as she nodded, and held out her left hand to the owner of her heart. He slipped the ring onto her finger and kissed it gently, and kissed her on the lips with all the love and adoration he could muster.

"I love you so much 'Mione. Merry Christmas." Sirius said as he kissed her forehead.

"I love you too. Forever" She replied, as she crawled into his lap.


11 Months Later

"Ouch, Sirius!" Hermione squealed, as she bumped her head on the doorframe of Grimmauld Place.

"Sorry love" Sirius grunted, whilst carrying a heavily pregnant Hermione into their home, "You have gained a bit of weight recently" he said playfully.

She pretended to smack him round the head, but kissed his cheek instead, as he settled her down on the sofa. She smoothed down her beautiful ivory wedding dress, and looked up at her dashing husband, looking sophisticated in his dress robes.

She glowed, pregnancy agreed with her. Her hands rested on her swollen belly, as Sirius sat down next to her, kissing her bump.

"Can't wait to meet you baby" He crooned into her stomach.

Hermione laughed, and gasped, as the baby kicked out in reaction to it's father's voice.

"That was one hell of a kick, he's gonna end up being a footballer!" Hermione laughed as Sirius looked at her perplexed.

"Football?" He said questioningly, stroking the bump, "And anyway, it's not a he, it's a she. A little mini version of you. She'll look exactly like you and can be Daddy's Little Princess.".

Hermione smiled at her husband, and said "Whatever it is I'm happy, it's half you". She leant down and kissed him gently on the lips, excited for the rest of her life.

The End.

So yeah, the end. Hope you've all enjoyed it.
Not the longest story ever but I tried :)

Muchos liebe
