X is to mark the spot
When Hermione came down her from her room, she couldn't help but smile. She wore black shorts and a red tank top. She saw Harry down the hall and made her way toward him. She let out a light laugh.
"Great minds think alike, no?" she asked him, smiling. He turned and started laughing too.
"I guess so," he whispered. His black jeans rustling a bit as he walked toward her. She grabbed the collar of his dark red button down shirt and let out another laugh. She kissed him quickly.
"I tagged you earlier. Catch me if you can, love," she whispered as she took off down the hall toward the stairs. She stopped when she got to the kitchen. Walking in calmly, she went to the counter. Sitting on it and crossing her legs, Hermione couldn't help but laugh again. 'Their expressions will be so great,' she thought. She closed her eyes and relaxed.
"I thought I told you not to look like that when I was around," a voice whispered in her ear. She opened her eyes.
"You weren't around, Sirius. Go away," she told him looking toward the door to see Harry standing there. Her eyes lit up. Sirius kissed her on the lips lightly. She pushed him away. "I told you not to do that, Mr. Black. I'm sure my boyfriend would be very unhappy with you." She looked Sirius in the eye. He shivered. She wasn't happy and that look in her eye made him want her all the more.
"And who, may I ask, is your boyfriend?" he asked huskily looking at her, trying to gage if she was lying.
"I am," Harry said calmly as he entered the kitchen. Ron, Remus, Percy, and the twins made their way in from behind him and moved around the kitchen for food. After getting sandwiches and pumpkin juice they sat down.
"What are you?" the twins asked in unison as they realized Hermione was on the counter and Harry was still at the door looking intently at Sirius.
"Hermione's boyfriend," was all he said. She hopped down from the counter past a shocked Sirius and made her way toward Harry. "Tag," he said as he pulled her toward him and kissed her. She giggled and kissed back, but didn't let it get out of control and wrapped her arm around his waist, leaning into his right side. Remus laughed a bit.
"What's so funny, Remus?" Percy asked his old professor.
"I was wondering how long it would take for them to get together. I was beginning to think it would never happen." He laughed again and drank some pumpkin juice.
"Remus, it's been going on, on and off though mind you, for the past four years." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"So what made you want to tell us now?" Ron asked hotly. Sirius was still in a state of shook. He just simply sat in a chair next to Remus and looked off into space.
"Harry…" Hermione trailed off. She knew what she was going to say, but she didn't think she would have to tell them. That was Harry's job. "Well, he-" Harry squeezed her side and she looked up at him. She stopped taking all together.
"I proposed." Simple words that had a lot of impact. Hermione pulled her arm out from around Harry and wiggled her fingers at them as she smiled. A ring was on her left hand. Remus raised an eyebrow. He hadn't been expecting that. Everyone else just stared at the couple before them. "I didn't want anyone else to have her anymore," he said looking pointedly at the group of guys sitting in front of him. All of them, sans Percy for he didn't know what he had done, shifted uncomfortably. "Mia, should I tell them, or do you want to?' Harry asked suddenly.
"Mia? Why don't we get to call you that?" George asked.
"Because I don't like other people calling me that. He started it, no one else is allowed to call me Mia. And he knows, guys. So stop shifting. He doesn't care, just like I don't care about him sleeping with Ginny." She shrugged and smiled. The guys looked shocked at one another. Then she rested her head on Harry shoulder.
"You slept with Ginny?" the twins asked shocked. Harry looked sheepish and rubbed his neck nervously, other arm still wrapped around Hermione, before replying.
"Once. Mia and I had gotten into a fight, and Ginny was there. I didn't know until after that I had taken her...Well anyways, I felt so bad, but I had to tell her it wasn't going to happen." Ron laughed.
"Serves her right for letting her stupid crush on you take control of her. I told her not to go after you. She never wanted to listen." Ron shook his head and rolled his eyes taking a bite of his turkey sandwich.
"No wonder she hasn't been around the house lately," Sirius said suddenly.
"Hey, that was three years ago. I really don't think…" he trailed off. "Ok, so yeah that's the reason, but it was a while ago." Harry shrugged again. Hermione slapped his shoulder playfully.
"Enough about that. I don't care." Hermione stepped behind Harry and glamoured her features the way she had those months ago. "Percy, there's something you need to know."
He looked over to see that she wasn't there with his cup raised to drink. "Yes?" he asked as he took a sip of his drink. She stepped from behind Harry. Everyone looked at her shocked and Percy spit his drink all over the table. "What the hell, Hermione! What is this about? How do you know Julie?" Percy spieled off.
"Percy, I am Julie. I did it to make you feel better. I'm sorry," she told him.
"Wait, that chick you took home when Penny left you was actually Hermione?" Sirius asked. "That's bloody rich."
"She did seem to fit in rather easily instead of awkwardly for breakfast that morning," Fred said as he looked to George, who nodded his head in reply.
"Hermione, how many of us have you slept with?" Ron asked.
She took the glamour off and turned to Harry. "Let's go upstairs." She smirked. "Bye, guys," she said over Harry's shoulder as she pulled him out of the kitchen, avoiding Ron's question for now.
"I guess he's marked what's his." Remus said with a smile. Sirius grumbled.
"That was great!" Hermione exclaimed as they entered his room.
"Their faces where priceless when I said I had proposed. It was better that you had thought to wear that ring," he laughed as he put silencing charms on the room. "And I loved Percy's reaction to you doing that. I didn't know you were going to do that."
"I needed something up my sleeve. I am the brightest witch of our age for a reason, Harry." Her eyes danced with unshed tears of mirth as she went to sit on his bed.
"So…"he said.
"So?" she asked, her brow scrunching with confusion as he got down on one knee. Then she smiled and tears rolled down her face. Mirth was there, but there was something else now: joy.
"Will you marry me, Hermione? I mean, not just because they think we're getting married, but because I meant what I said earlier about settling down with you." He looked at her intently. She grabbed his hand and pulled him to the bed with her.
"Yes. Harry, I would love to be the one you settle down with," she whispered. He kissed her. It was unlike any kiss they had shared before. This one was passionate, but gentle. It was raw and she loved it.
She broke away. "I love you," was all she said. He kissed her again, pulling her closer to him as he leaned back on his bed. She straddled his waist and unbuttoned his shirt. He shivered at her touch and wrapped his arms around her, hands resting on her lower back. Pulling her top off, he broke the kiss only to kiss her neck and newly exposed skin.
"Hey, Harry?" Fred asked as he came into the room without knocking. The couple froze. Fred went wide eyed. "Sorry, I'll just ask you later." And he ran from the room, closing and locking the door so that no one else would walk in on them.
"I told you not to bother him," George's voice came muffled though the door. Harry and Hermione laughed, only to pick up where they left off.
I know. A little too fluffy at the end, but it was so much fun to write. I hoped you like my smutty fluffy piece. I loved writing this chapter. It was supposed to be a bit funny, and to me, it was.
I don't own the song. It's S.E.X. by Nickleback, in case you didn't pick that up already. I might make a sequel, but only because this particular story ending at three chapters. I only wanted to use those three lines for it. Or maybe a prequel type of thing that would be all of them in one story, but in different chapters. I already wrote the Remus and Hermione piece, technically, but I like writing for him. Those would be some fun chapters. All smut. Can you imagine? And with different people, too. You already know who, but you don't know fully why or how.
And…I was saving these. I love this story, and the idea of putting it into a mini-series kinda of thing works well for me. ^-^
Anyways, I'm going to stop now. Hope you liked it.
