It was three days into their Christmas break. Harry walked into the kitchen and found Ron and Lupin sitting at the table. "Where's Hermione?" Ron pointed towards the stairs "They're in the library." Harry nodded "Right, thanks."
Remus looked at Ron, wondering why he said 'they' instead of 'she'.
Day Four.
Remus looked all over the house, but Sirius was no where to be found. He did find Molly though "Molly, do you know where Sirius has gotten off to?" Molly waved her hand in the air "They went to the book store." Lupin frowned. There it was again, 'they'.
Day Five.
Remus was sitting in the library with Arthur, when Harry and Ron walked in. "Dad, have you seen Hermione?" Ron asked. Arthur smiled at his son "They're in the kitchen." Ron and Harry left, leaving Remus to wonder why, once again, there was the word 'they'.
Day Six.
Lupin had a book that he thought Hermione might like, and he wanted to make sure she had it for school. "Arthur, where is young Miss Granger?" He asked as he entered the kitchen. Arthur smiled at his friend "They're in the library again." Lupin nodded "Right, wheres Sirius, I need to speak with him also?" Arthur frowned slightly "They're in the library." He said, a little slower this time. Lupin looked thoughtful "Why is it, whenever anyone asks about Hermione or Sirius, everyone says 'They're at this place' or 'They're here'?" Arthur shrugged "They've been together most of the time the kids have been here, wherever one's at, the other is most likely there also."
The Last Day.
Hermione sighed as she sat on the couch in the library. This was her last night here, they had to go back to school tomorrow. It wasn't often that she didn't want to go to school, but this was one time when she just wanted to stay where she was instead. "Hey." Hermione looked up and smiled a little at the man in the doorway. "Hi." Sirius walked in and sat in the chair by her "What's wrong, you look sad." Hermione shrugged "I don't know, I guess I'm just kind of dreading tomorrow." Sirius raised his brows "What? Hermione Granger doesn't want to go to school?"
Hermione rolled her eyes "It's not that, it's just, everyone's been in a good mood. Harry's really been happy for the first time in a long time, and Ron's been on a good mood the whole time we've been here, which never happens. I just don't want it to end."
Sirius nodded "I know, it's been great spending so much time with Harry, I hate to see it end myself." He cleared his throat "It's been fun spending time with you also, thank you for that, I know you didn't have to spend your holiday playing chess with me." He said with a smile.
Hermione smiled back "You're right, I didn't have to, but I wanted to." They sat quietly for a moment before Hermione remembered to thank him for a book he found for her on one of their trips to the book shop. Sirius shrugged "You would have saw it if I hadn't."
They sat and talked for awhile longer, before Sirius looked at the clock on the wall "It's late, and we all are getting up early tomorrow." He stood and held out his hand "Come on, time for bed." Hermione smiled and took his hand, letting him pull her to her feet. In the hall she stopped and kiss his cheek "Goodnight Sirius." He smiled "Goodnight 'Mione." She smiled as she walked to the room she shared with Ginny. He was the only one to give her a nickname, and as far as she was concerned, that's how it would always be.
The Last Morning
The children said their goodbyes, they kissed the cheeks and waved out the windows, leaving the adults standing on the platform. Remus looked at his old friend as he watched the train pull away. Hermione ducked her head out the window one last time to wave, and Sirius smiled as he held up a hand in farewell.
"Pads, is there..." Sirius turned to look at the man standing beside him, and raised a brow "Is there something going on with you and Hermione?" Sirius looked surprised, and a little shocked "What? Moony, she's a child." He shook his head "How could you think such a thing?"
"The way you are with her, the way the two of you act together." Remus shrugged "She won't be a child for long, she's almost seventeen. Hermione's never really been a child, her soul is to old." Sirius shook his head and looked at his friend like he had lost his marbles "You're crazy, old man." Sirius put a hand on Remus' shoulder and chuckled "Let's get out of here before you come up with anymore crazy ideas."
Later that night, as he sat in the now empty library, Sirius thought about what Moony had said. Yes she was his friend, and yes she was beyond her years, but.....she's still young enough to be his daughter, and she's his godsons best friend. Sirius chuckled as he closed his book. To think that he and Hermione could be a....he and Hermione, crazy. They are....well they're friends, and that's it.
I think the next chapter will be the beginning of book seven. That way I can just skip over the death of a certain headmaster we all love *sob sob* and get right to the Hermione/Sirius interations.
Now if anyone feels that Hermione is to young, don't worry, I totally agree. Which is why this is going to be a long series of on shots. It will g past the books. Years probably. But don't worry, there will be a happy ending(for Hermione and Sirius at least) So please hang in there, and I hope you all wil enjoy reading this, as I'm having writing it. Thanks!
