Hermione walked through the door at 12 Grimmauld Place to go get the gentlemen for breakfast at Burrow. She was expecting silence but instead, she heard yelling coming from up the stairs.
"Don't, Remus, stop! You are hurting him!" Harry was shouting and Hermione bolted up the stairs. "It wasn't his fault! He was given a potion!"
Hermione got to the top floor and saw her marauders brawling. When she rushed close to the doorway she saw the whole event and became speechless. There in the bed was a blond girl completely terrified clutching the blankets to her bare form. Harry was trying to grab Remus and George was trying to grab Sirius.
"Bloody psychotic werewolf!" Sirius spat and blood dripped down his bottom lip.
"How could you be so fucking dense!" Remus growled and Harry was having trouble holding on to him.
The blond was trying to move for her clothes, "don't you move," George warned her.
"Like I had any control over my genitalia with a fucking lust potion!" Sirius roared and yanked against George. "The bitch had me by the balls with it!"
"In his defense, Remus, we didn't find the antidote for that one until this morning. The bottle Ron gave her wasn't my prototype bottle." George told him.
Remus lurched in Harry's arms and broke free. The marauders scuffled and were fighting like rabid dogs. Hermione stepped into the room and Harry gasped. Remus caught Sirius in the ribs and a cracking halted the werewolf, leaving the animagus coughing blood on the floor. The werewolf shoved him to the floor viciously and he howled. George pulled Sirius back to him on the floor and started to try and mend the wounded man.
"What is happening?" Hermione's soft voice entered the space and Remus' head snapped to her.
Hermione did not receive an answer so she kneeled next to Sirius and tilted his face to her. "What did you do?" She asked him and saw Remus had done a number on him.
"I- I- Hermione... it was because of a potion. I swear it." His voice was weak and her eyes grew indifferent.
"Well, alright," she murmured and stood up. "Breakfast is ready," she told the room.
"He is a bloody brilliant shag," the blond gave her a challenging smile; she was trying to make Hermione cry.
"Oh?" Hermione purred and the blond nodded.
"True to his reputation I assure you," the blond murmured with a smile and Hermione glared.
Harry gaped at the gall of this witch, he supposed Ron did not warn her about the witch. Hermione walked up to her on the bed. "Were you the twat that drugged my Sirius or did my ex-boyfriend?" Hermione's voice was dangerous.
"I did-" she couldn't finish, Hermione grabbed her by her hair. She yanked her from the bed and tossed her to the door. "Get out, before I do worse," Hermione there was a breathy poison to her tone as she let go the loose hair from her hand and left it on the ground.
The witch moved to grab her clothes, but Hermione pulled out her wand. "I said, get the fuck out. Dare I need to repeat it a third time?" Hermione growled and the witch ran down the stairs completely nude. "We are not going to talk about this on my best friend's wedding day. We are not going to ask about it. We are not going to even think about it. Do I make myself clear?" Hermione turned and asked the rest of the room.
The wizards nodded and Hermione left the room, stomping down the stairs. "And clean up this fucking mess!" She yelled up the stairs at them.
"I take back what I said about Ginny, that witch scares the bloody wits out of me," Sirius grumbled and slumped against the wall.
Remus tugged away from Harry and pulled his wand out, "we best clean you up, Pads," his voice was tender again.
"Gonna give me a big fat kiss now, Moony?" Sirius grumbled and Remus laughed.
"Well, we buggered it up, whether it was together or not, it's done." The werewolf declared and started to mend the wounds on Sirius' face.
"What do you mean, Remus?" George asked and Sirius chuckled hoarsely.
"He means her. She will not forgive me for this. You saw her. She did not scream or yell at me, she was just going to leave before that bitch spoke up."
"It wasn't your fault, Ron is to blame," Harry snapped and shook his head. "I was wondering why he was so insistent on making sure you both were invited. I thought he was just finally getting over being a twit."
Sirius coughed blood again and Remus grimaced, "I am sorry Pads. I was in a rage."
The animagus reached for the werewolf and pressed their foreheads together, "you know I forgive you, Moony. I am sorry I buggered up so badly. Usually, I don't accept drinks from anyone. I forgot."
Remus nodded and helped the animagus stand up. "How is that?" The werewolf asked and Sirius shrugged with a wince.
"Better than the last bad scuffle we had. You only broke two this time." Sirius groaned and Harry frowned.
"You both brawl a lot?" He asked and the Marauders chuckled.
"It helps Moony and I let off steam. More for him than me. James and Peter used to join us back in Hogwarts and it would simmer us a bit." Sirius declared and George laughed. "If I wasn't such a masochist I'd tell him to fuck off." The animagus teased and Remus rolled his eyes.
Remus helped him sit on the bed and kneeled to check his legs, "Hey, while your down there can you suck my knob too? She wasn't worth a shit. Sloppy, nothing like the one Hermione gave you last night. Fucking disappointing that the one time I get forced to shag someone, it is a downer."
"Did not need to know about last night, Padfoot..." Harry grumbled with a bright blush.
George laughed and shook his head, "do you both... you know?" He asked and Remus chuckled.
"He's been asking me for years to shag him, George. No, I much prefer a pert pair of breasts to this sod's ballocks." The werewolf declared mending a few scraps Sirius had on his knees.
"I am prettier than most broads, Moony. Just one time. Suck it and see if you like it." Sirius said with a smile and Remus snorted.
"Not on your life, Pads," the werewolf retorted with an eye roll. "Besides, no one is prettier than our witch."
"Very true, no one else could be our Venus," Sirius sighed heavily with a nod.
"Sirius, why don't you ever really hit him. I watched you earlier, you don't go for blood like him." Harry noted and the animagus shrugged.
"He gets furious and stronger the harder I hit him. Unless I need it, I don't attack him. You would have to be a bloody idiot to take on a werewolf who is angry."
Remus patted Sirius once he stood up and exhaled heavily. "Do you think we are still her dates?"
Harry nodded and smiled, "yes, she will save face for the wedding. Speaking of which, Sirius..." Harry trailed off and rubbed his neck. "I think it would be best to ask Ron to step down from his duties to save Hermione any anger. Would you be my best man? I talked with George about it and he agreed. You would be perfect."
Sirius grinned wolfishly, "of course, Harry!"

Hermione had avoided any conversation about the incident leading up to helping Ginny get ready. Hermione was helping the witch into her dress while Fleur, Angelina, and Luna doted on her with compliments. Ginny noted Hermione's mechanical behavior and frowned.
"Hermione, why are you upset?" She asked and Hermione waved it off.
"I am just jealous your dress is so amazing!" The animagus declared with a grin and Ginny snorted.
Ginny sighed and smiled, "it is a beautiful dress, but I know that's not why you are upset."
Hermione frowned and gulped, "don't be silly Gin. I am completely destroyed you are going to be tenfold more gorgeous on your wedding than me." Hermione teased and the girls laughed.
"I am not going to marry two handsome wizards on my wedding day, though." Ginny retorted and Hermione cringed.
"I knew it! Harry told me something happened and you were upset." Ginny declared and Hermione groaned.
"We can talk about it after your honeymoon, Gin. This is your big day and I am not going to bring it down."
"So, was she pretty?" Ginny asked and Hermione rubbed her face.
"Very," she responded and a tear left her eye. "Too pretty. And she had the awful spite to tell me he was a brilliant shag."
"Wait, what happened?" Angelina asked and Ginny exhaled.
"Ron convinced some tart to give one of George's prototype lust potions to Sirius last night," Ginny grumbled and Hermione straightened her posture.
"It doesn't matter, it is your big day, Gin. I refused to talk about this on your big day."
"What a wanker," Luna declared and everyone glanced at her, shocked. "I am just calling it how it is. That is awful to do to anyone."
"I told him not to give Ron any of his prototypes. Poor Sirius, that is almost worse than being forced on." Angelina declared with a frown and Fleur nodded.
"He does adore you, 'ermione..." Fleur replied and Hermione bit the inside of her cheek.
Molly came in and gasped, "my baby!" She cried and Hermione was thankful for the distraction.
The mother started to hug and talk about memories through tears as she held her daughter. It gave Hermione the perfect distraction and to enjoy not talking about this morning. It was hard enough not to see her sitting on their bed. Seeing her marauders fighting. Hearing the broke tone in Sirius' voice. Smelling the disgusting scent of stale sex in their room...
"Five minutes!" Arthur came in and smiled.
"Our little girl is getting married!" Molly cried and hugged Ginny.
Arthur grinned brightly and came next to Hermione, "now, we just have one more." He said and kissed her hair. "in your own time, of course, Hermione."
They all lined up for the ceremony and Sirius appeared next to Hermione. She gasped and looked him up and down. He was absolutely breathtaking in a dark wizard dress robe with a magenta vest to match her. He grinned and nodded at her dress. "Worth the wait, love. You look absolutely breath taking."
"Sirius, I- oh- wow," she sputtered and he chuckled.
"Did I make you speechless?" He asked and she gulped.
"Places! Where is that other boy?" Arthur declared and took Ginny's arm.
"You're Harry's best man?" She asked him and he nodded.
"The best man he could find for the job that is." Sirius retorted and Hermione blushed brightly.
"Sorry, I am late," Remus declared and raced over to Luna. "I had to fix my vest."
Hermione glanced back at the werewolf and gasped, "you too!" She cried with a smile and he nodded.
The music started and Sirius cleared his throat, "are you ready to walk down the aisle, Miss Granger?" Sirius teased and Hermione giggled, taking his arm.
"Let's, Mr. Black."

The wedding was absolutely perfect and Hermione teared up several different times. Hermione caught Remus and Sirius exchanging prideful looks a few times as they watched Harry say his vows. Hermione's mind was confused but those marauders burrowed deeply in her heart which made it harder.
It finished with a wonderful jubilation and Sirius ushered Hermione near the house so others can go to the tent. "We are first here, I wanted to talk to you."
Hermione frowned and shook her head, "Sirius, I don't want to talk." She murmured and he put a finger under her chin.
He made her look at him and his eyes glistened, "I do. I want to apologize. I want to beg for forgiveness. I want you to get mad at me and scream. Anything! Because I know if you don't then you will leave us tomorrow." He pleaded and Hermione's lip quivered.
"I am not supposed to be angry at you, please don't ask me to be. That nasty witch practically raped you." She grumbled and tried to look away from him. "Sirius, I know you didn't have a choice."
He got on his knees in front of her and pressed his forehead to her stomach, "please, Hermione. Please just yell at me so I don't feel like you don't care. So, I can be in the dog house for weeks and live with that instead of you leaving."
"Sirius, but-"
"No! I cannot stomach you leaving us again. This was all my fault and I will do anything to keep you."
"Sirius," she said and ran her hand through his hair.
He gazed up at her and she could see he was doing his best to hold back the emotions raging inside him. "Hermione, please? I saw you during the wedding and just know that I want that to be us one day."
"And me too," Remus declared walking up to her. "it is a long shot, I know, but we both agree."
The rest of the wedding precession that was supposed to line up here was down some ways watching them. Harry kept them at bay so the marauders could have their space.
"Sirius-"
He interrupted her again, "no, please don't say you need space or time. Please, Hermione. I never beg or plead for anything like I am you. You are what makes us happiest and I don't want to be the reason you walk away." His voice was urgent and pained.
Hermione got down on the ground with Sirius and gazed at him. "Sirius, stop. You don't have to beg me. I was never angry or hurt by you. I was confused and a bit upset at walking in on you and Remus fighting. How could I be angry at you for being influenced by a potion? That awful bitch took advantage of my Sirius. You are my Sirius, do you hear me? I am sorry that you thought I would leave you for being manipulated." She murmured and he swarmed her with kisses.
"You- are- perfect-" Sirius shouted through kisses.
Hermione reached for Remus and took his hand, "you boys have my heart in knots, why would I leave now?"
Sirius helped her off the ground and she giggled as they both embraced her and kissed her cheeks. "You have no clue how much we were preparing for you to leave," Remus whispered and she ran a hand through each of their heads of hair.
"I am sorry, I know that it was the worst day for me to be distant." She declared and saw the others approaching.
"So, both of them?" George asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Most definitely, buy one get one free, Mr. Weasley." Hermione teased and the marauders chuckled.
She kissed Sirius deeply and he moaned. When she pulled away from him she turned to Remus and kissed him deeply. Sirius nuzzled her neck and Remus laughed against her lips. "Damn it, Padfoot, let me kiss her!" The werewolf teased and the male animagus rolled his eyes.
"Can we start the dinner now?" Harry asked them and Hermione giggled.
"Please, Harry. They might start bickering again and I am not going to stop them." Hermione retorted and the marauders took both her hands.
"Bloody relieved," Remus sighed and Sirius nodded.
Dinner was fantastic and Harry awkwardly danced with his wife on the dance floor for their first dance. Sirius took Hermione's hand and led her to the floor once it was open. He spun and danced with her in a way she did not realize Sirius could dance. "You know how to dance?" She asked with a smile and he nodded.
The floor was filling with other couples and Sirius danced with her through the whole song. When it was done he bowed deeply and Remus walked over, "mind if I cut in Pads?" He asked and Sirius patted his shoulder.
Remus danced closer to her and leaned his face to her cheek for the softer song. "You realize that we are very lucky? Me and him. Not many understand how it works how close we are. I just wanted to thank you for adoring us anyway. My condition can be a hindrance and you never treat me like such."
She kissed his cheek and smiled against his skin, "Remus Lupin, you are a funny werewolf. Why would I ever discard something so special because it is different? I am the one who lucked out; I have you both. Don't you know that?"
He pulled away enough to kiss her tenderly and she ran her hands over his stubble. "Oi! Me too!" Sirius shouted and raced over, leaving the girl he was dancing with.
Sirius leaned in and Hermione giggled and kissed him, "such a trouble maker, Sirius."
"I need a drink," Hermione murmured and Sirius kissed her again.
"Alright, love, I will get you sloshed if you like," The male animagus teased and Hermione rolled her eyes.
While their exchange on the dance floor was happening, Ginny and Harry were admiring them. "See, I told you they would work it out." She told him.
Molly walked by and glared, "why are those boys kissing Hermione?" She asked her daughter.
"They are dating her, mum," Ginny told her with a wide grin.
"Both?" Molly shouted and Hermione looked over, blushing.
Sirius leaned over and whispered something into her ear and Remus chuckled. Molly gazed around for her husband, "where is Arthur?" She stomped off and Ginny giggled.
The marauders started dancing with each other and Hermione folded her arms and smiled at them. "You are right, Gin. I don't think she has ever been this happy." Harry whispered and Ginny nodded.
Hermione got between them and pushed them apart, "you both are wicked," she exclaimed and they kissed her cheeks.
The rest of the celebration Hermione did not remember not smiling and laughing at her annoyingly handsome marauders.
