SO… I had a flame about this chapter and decided that before I have more stupid people that won't use their signatures when they flame, yell at me about it, I would fix it. I'm also going to try to get one or more people to help me systematically go through all of my stories and fix them up.

Please review people… and I am sorry in advance for my crazy humor, all I can say is you love me!

Sirius woke up earlier than anyone else, which was something quite amusing, as he was always the one to sleep in late. He quickly and quietly changed into Padfoot and padded around the house.

He knew that Hermione liked him. She had made it painfully obvious last night. Darker and more serious. He didn't even know she knew how to make puns like that. Then again, it was Hermione… brightest witch of her age and all. She could do absolutely anything she set her mind to. He was really hoping she set her mind to him.

He checked on Harry's door, making sure he was still asleep before sneaking to Hermione's room. She had conveniently left the door open a crack, but it was enough for him to paw at and push the door open.

He silently moved toward the end of her bed and jumped upon the trunk there, sitting down and staring at Hermione. She slept on peacefully, her hair fanned out underneath her head like a halo. Her dark lashes in sharp contrast to the creamy paleness of her skin. She was on her back, the blankets pulled neatly up to her stomach, showing Sirius that unfortunately she slept with a tank top on, and probably some pants.

He watched her for a few minutes, quietly breathing as she dreamt about something that put a smile on her face. Sirius wasn't a patient man. Padfoot was an even more impatient dog. Padfoot lowered himself so he was lying on the end of her bed, and crept his way next to her. When he was laying parallel to her he moved his head over and placed it on her chest looking up towards her face and began to whine softly.

But she didn't awake. She moved slightly, pulling her arm around the large black dog, and stroked his fur slowly, in her sleep. Padfoot enjoyed the moment for a few seconds, but decided that he really wanted her awake. So he raised his head up, and as any big shaggy dog would do, he licked her face.

Hermione awoke with a start. Quickly sitting up and dislodging the large black dog from her chest. It only took her a moment to realize what had woken her up, causing her to laugh and lay back down, her eyes open and watching Padfoot.

"Morning, Mutt." She said affectionately, petting slowly from the top of his head and down his back and neck.

Padfoot cocked his head to the side and gave her a look that she knew meant, "How can I be a mutt… I'm a pureblood." But she ignored it.

He crawled closer to her, putting both paws on her shoulder and laying his head on top of them, giving her the most pitiful, cute look he could muster.

She laughed, "Those puppy dog eyes don't work on me, Padfoot."

He raised his head and shook it back and forth a few times before changing into his human self, clad only in a pair of blue pj-pants, that rode dangerously low on his hips. "What about half naked gorgeous men in your bed… does that work on you?"

She paused for a moment, and made a look as if she was deep in thought. "Well that depends entirely on what, said men are doing in my bed."

Sirius levered himself up and over her, so that his muscled arms were braced on either side of her, and his hair was falling down creating a curtain around their faces, "What if said man was attempting to steal a kiss?"

"Then that definitely works on me." With that she wrapped her hand around the back of his neck and pulled him down on top of her, fusing their lips together in a searing kiss.

Sirius moaned into her kiss, she tasted sweet like freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and he couldn't get enough of it. Her tongue glided against his sensually, stroking the fire that was already in him. Her hands slipped to his back pulling him closer as she deepened the kiss.

He growled into her mouth, but was quickly brought back to reality by the sound of someone coming down the stairs. He realized that when he came into the room he hadn't closed the door. He broke the kiss and watched the door, as a half-awake Harry walked past the open door without looking inside.

Once Harry was out of earshot, Sirius looked down at Hermione, who had a huge smile plastered on her face. "We should probably go down…"

He made his face into a pout and gave her the same big puppy eyes as before; "Do we have to…"

She giggled softly, "I'll make you steak and eggs…"

He groaned, which was quickly followed by a grumble from his stomach. "I guess that answers that." He said as he moved off of her, and stood up.

She slipped out of bed and went to the door. She turned to him from the door and he realized that she wasn't going to change before going down stairs, "You coming gorgeous?"

Sirius gave her a devilish grin and proceeded to chase her down the stairs. Once down stairs, Hermione hid behind Harry, using him as a human shield. Sirius stood a few feet from them with his hands on his hips. Hermione slipped her arms around Harry from behind, who was simply standing in the dining room, as he had been on his way to the kitchen. "Protect me Harry… don't let that mutt get me." She whispered in his ear as she looked over Harry's shoulder at Sirius, giving him a smoldering stare.

Harry laughed, "…and what did you do to provoke the mutt into chasing you??" he asked, his hands slipping over hers, and linking fingers with her.

"Nothing…" she said in the most innocent tone she could muster.

Harry and Sirius both gave each other a look and continued to laugh. "Why don't I believe you?" Harry asked, turning his head to the side to capture Hermione's mischievous grin.

"I don't know… I do know that there is breakfast in it for you if you protect me…" The way to a man's heart was through his stomach, and she was an excellent cook.

"Well in that case…" he rose his finger and in a voice that sounded mockingly like Molly Weasley he said, "You better back off Sirius… because I'm hungry."

The three of them laughed and Sirius stood down, letting Hermione slip around from Harry, giving him a chaste kiss on the cheek in thanks before going into the kitchen to make them the breakfast she had promised.

Sirius and Harry sat down at the table, awaiting their feast and talked.

"How's the place treating you?" Sirius asked.

"It's ok. We got the picture of your mom off the wall… I've brightened it up a bit, got rid of all the house elf heads… Kretcher is much better and is quite happy. I like living there just for the fact that I can say that I have my own place… but at the same time, its just me there. It can get really lonely."

"I'm sure it will be better once Ginny graduates…"

Harry nodded his head and looked down. Not saying anything to Sirius' last statement.

"Everything with Ginny is alright?" Sirius asked, hoping he hadn't made a mistake with brining her up.

"Oh yeah…" Harry looked up at Sirius for a moment, "I miss her. And at the same time, I wonder if we really are meant for each other, or if it is more like a cliché… like if I'm with her because, it is just kinda assumed. Much like Hermione and Ron. Every one thought they would be together forever, and here she is in her own house, while he is out playing Quidditch."

Sirius nodded, "I guess you'll have to wait and see huh?"

"Yep." Harry answered.

There was a comfortable silence for a few minutes, where the only sound that could be heard was from Hermione cooking breakfast for them.

"So… how is it living with the goddess of knowledge?" Harry asked.

Sirius chuckled, "I like it… she really is something isn't she?" He paused for a few seconds before continuing, "She sort of reminds me of your mother."

Harry wasn't surprised to hear this. From all accounts, especially Snape's, his mother had been extremely smart, as well as loving and caring… now that he thought about it, Hermione was just like her. He simply nodded at Sirius, and said, "yeah."

Sirius captured Harry's gaze, "They're proud of you, you know."

Harry's heart clenched that that statement. "You remember what happened to you behind the veil don't you?"

Sirius had never lied to Harry… at least not directly to his face, and he wasn't about to start now. "Anything I tell you has to stay between us…"

Harry nodded and Sirius continued, "When you grabbed the stone… and it brought us all to you, well when you let it drop it put us back in the room that I'd been in for the past three years… James and Lily, told us that we would get to come back, we just had to wait for a sign… they wanted me to tell you that they are proud of you, that they love you, and that they've always been watching over you."

Harry nodded once again. He knew he couldn't speak, because if he did it would come out choked and forced.

"We really weren't supposed to tell anyone, but if anyone deserves to know it's you…"

Harry let a single tear fall down his face, before whipping it away. "Thank you, Sirius."

It was only a few moments later when Hermione came bustling into the dinning room, followed by charmed dishes, that held steak and eggs, sausage, fruit, tea, pumpkin juice, and other assorted breakfast items.

She spelled them all to land on the table before sitting down next to Sirius.

Both men dug in without a moment's hesitation. "This is really good 'Mione" Harry said, after following a large mouthful of eggs down with a sip of tea.

"Thanks Harry."

As they finished off their meal Harry lifted his wand, and all of the dishes were sent to the sink to be washed. "So what are we doing today?"

"I have no idea…" she laughed slightly, knowing that she was the one that had invited him to spend the night last night. "When was the last time you got to watch a movie?"

Harry thought hard for a few moments, "Years… back when I still lived with the Dursleys…"

Hermione smiled, "I have a huge collection, if you guys just want to relax and veg in front of the T.V. for a few hours, and catch up on movies."

Sirius, who hadn't seen a movie since Lily died, as she had been the only muggleborn, among them, was interested. "Sounds good to me."

Hermione stood up, "You guys go ahead and pick a movie, I'm gonna go get dressed." She ran her fingers through Sirius' loose hair as she moved away and left the room.

Harry and Sirius moved off into the basement, which had been turned into a state of the art entertainment room. It had to be in the basement because there was too much magic up above and it messed with the electronics.

The main couch in the room was a perfect distance from the big plasma screen, and Sirius sat down on one side leaning against the armrest, "You can pick the first movie… I haven't seen one in so long, I wouldn't even know where to begin."

Harry nodded and moved over to the shelves on the left side of the room to find a good movie.

He was putting in the movie "Speed" when Hermione came down the stairs. She set two bowls of popcorn on the table in front of the couch. She moved over to the fridge on the side opposite of the movies and grabbed them drinks; giving Sirius ample time to see what she had put on.

She was wearing jeans again… as usual, and they were quite tight, but not nearly as tight as the ones from last night. Her shirt was a short sleeved fitted T-shirt, that ended a few inches above the top of her pants and had the words, "Don't make me transfigure you into a rabbit and put you into a hat" embezzled across her chest. Sirius laughed softly, remembering when Lily had explained what "magicians" did, back in forth year.

Harry sat down on the opposite side of the couch, leaving Hermione only room to sit in the middle… not that she minded. She handed the soda's to the boys and sat between them, Indian style, her knees brushing against both of their legs, as it wasn't the largest couch around.

Sirius was in awe with the movie… flying bus' were not new to him or anything, but when done without magic, could be slightly tricky. During the movie Hermione and Sirius had been playing with each other's fingers… but otherwise paid attention.

When it was over Hermione got up to switch it out for another one. Harry went to use the loo, and Sirius spread out on the couch, clearly covering Hermione's seat, and leaving room for only Harry. Hermione wasn't paying any attention. She picked up another movie, "The Fifth Element", and put it into her player. (A/N…LOL… come on you all know your laughing right now) She ignored the fact that Sirius was laying there; figuring he would move when she got back, and grabbed the empty popcorn bowls and went upstairs.

Sirius relaxed, putting his plan into motion, he left only enough room for Harry, which would force Hermione to either sit on the floor, or come and sit/lay on him… he was hoping she would chose the latter one.

So I know you were all laughing at the second movie I picked… if you weren't, because you don't get the joke, then put that in your review and I'll let you know.

Anyway… I figured out a new plot twist that will happen… and Draco Potter is currently angry with me for even thinking such a thing… so if you could appease him by leaving a review, and petting the poor bunny, it would be much appreciated.
