Next Chapter! :D enjoy!
September – Hermione P.O.V.
"Hermione! Wake up! Molly wants you downstairs." Sirius called to her through the door.
"Thanks Sirius, I'll be down soon!"
Glancing at the clock, she panicked. Her ministry interview was in 15 minutes and no-one bothered to wake her up! Where was Ginny anyways? Oh wait, that's Harry's voice, Ginny must be with him...
Sliding down the stair rail at full speed, she collided with the back of a strong man, who turning around reviled himself to be Sirius.
"Sorry Sirius!" she called back to him as she sprinted to the kitchen.
"Hermione dear, what's the rush?" Molly asked, handing her a cup of tea and a stack of toast.
"Ministry... interview..." she said through bites of food.
"Yes deary, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Mrs. Bones said she was too busy and would like to reschedule a meeting for sometime next week."
Hermione's body relaxed completely, releasing a huge breath and setting her toast down.
"Why did you send Sirius to wake me up then?"
"I didn't send Sirius" she said with a confused look. "I sent Ginny." That cleared stuff up. It all makes sense now... "What matters is that you are awake and know. I believe Harry would like to see you. He and Ginny are in the living room.
After levitating her dishes to the sink, Hermione started up the stairs where voices were drifting out.
Harry and Ginny were sitting in the two chairs on either side of the empty fireplace and Sirius sat on half of the couch. They all looked up at Hermione as she entered and ran over to Harry to give him a hug. Releasing him and turning around to see what seat was empty, her checks tinged pink as she realized next to Sirius was the only space left. She sat down next to him.
"Hello Hermione. Nice of you to join us." Sirius winked at her.
Ginny stood up very suddenly, "I'll go see if mum needs help with lunch. I think a bunch of the Order is coming. Harry, come on!" The two of them walked out of the room. Such a totally non-obvious way of leaving me here with Sirius, Ginny! What does she expect us to do alone? Snog? I like him but not that much. He is Harry's godfather!
An hour later and still no action...
"Ginny! Why did you leave me alone a foot away from Sirius on that couch? Why?" Hermione whispered into her ear at the lunch table.
"I was hoping something would happen! But obviously you two are ignorant of your obvious love for each other. You two are perfect for each other!" She whispered back.
"Gin, meet me upstairs in 10 minutes. We need to talk!"
"In the room, NOW!" Hermione growled. "Ok, so why are you trying to set me up with Harry's Godfather? He is over twice my age and I dont like him like that!"
Ginny started smirking, never a good sign. "My dear Hermione, Sirius has not yet realized it but me thinks he really likes you! Just you wait!"
"Gin, I don't like him! And anyways, he doesn't like me and never will!"
"Never say never 'mione. It will come back and bite you in the butt... And don't deny your love for him!"
"Ginny, just give up. You know I don't like any one at the current moment." Ron had broken up with her about four months after the Battle of Hogwarts. They just did not fit right together. Hermione hadn't had a relationship since, and was not looking for one. But that didn't mean someone was starting to catch her eye.
Please Review! :D
