Hermione walked into the borrow and smiled. Ever since Dumbledor died nothing had felt right, but here right now, this felt right, this felt like home. Standing in the kitchen, she dropped her purse on the table and took a deep breath, then she smiled and turned around knowing that leather smell anywhere. "What are you doing here?" she asked the man standing in the doorway.

Sirius smiled and took a step into the room "Molly insisted that Harry and I come for dinner, the wedding's tomorrow, she said that she wanted one last dinner with everyone together." He cocked his head slightly to the right "I think she just wants to try to talk you three out of leaving again."

Hermione shrugged "It's not as though we'll be on our own, you'll be there with us the whole way." Sirius chuckled "I don't really think that makes her feel any better. Molly and I, well we don't really see eye to eye on things." He smiled "Especially were you three are concerned." They sat down at the table as he continued "I see you three as young adults, where as Molly still see's you as the eleven year olds who just boarded the train to Hogwarts got the first time."

Hermione smiled "I guess that's how she'll always see us isn't it? She's a mother, and even Harry and I are like her children." Sirius nodded "Yes."

Hermione smiled "But as you said, I'm not a child any longer, I'm an adult." Sirius nodded once more, but didn't get a chance to speak. Remus spoke instead as he walked through the door "Hermione, I think Ginny is looking for you. She went upstairs." Hermione smiled at her old professor "Thank you Remus." she smiled at Sirius "A game of chess later?" Sirius nodded with a smile "Of course."

Hermione left the room and Remus sat down in her chair "How is it, the two of you are always together?" Sirius rolled his eyes "Not this again." Remus raised his brows slightly "Only a question Pads. But on that note, remember, while she may be an adult now, she's still very young in years."

Sirius shook his head "You've gone mad in your old age Moony." Remus shook his head and smiled "You may not see it mate, but others can see the way she looks at you. I'm only saying, be careful. She's been through a lot in her short life, but in some things, she completely inexperienced."

Sirius nodded now, taking his friends words to heart. The last thing he wanted was to hurt Hermione. But could Remus really be right, could there really be something different in the way Hermione looks at him, than the way she looks at others?

...

Hermione and Ginny sat on Ginny's bed, looking through a potions book. Ginny found one and smiled "How about I try this one, I could give it to Harry." Hermione looked at the page and smiled. The potion was Amortentia. Ginny sighed "It probably doesn't really work anyway." Hermione smiled once more and nodded "It works." Ginny raised her brows "And how do you know miss?" Hermione blushed "Slughorn showed us in class last year. See" she said pointing to the page "It says here that it will smell differently to each person, depending on what the person is attracted to in another person." she shrugged "I read that it has even helped people figure out who it was they were ment to be with, just from the smell alone."

Ginny grinned "It would probably smell of broom polish and parchment, and that natural...Harry, smell." Hermione smiled at her friend, but Ginny wasn't done "What did it smell like for you?" Hermione didn't answer, she only shook her head "Oh come on Hermione, tell me, I know you smelled it, I can tell by the look on your face. now what did it smell like?"

Hermione smiled and blushed slightly once more "Peppermint." Ginny rolled her eyes "And...I know that's not all, there has to be more." Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes "Leather..." she smiled at Ginny, knowing she could trust her friend "Firewhisky and soap."

Ginny grinned once again "There, see that wasn't so hard now was it?" Hermione rolled her eyes again "Shut it." she said with a chuckle, Ginny chuckled also.

...

Later that evening, as Sirius and Hermione were in the middle of a game, Ginny walked up behind Sirius and leaned over his shoulder to look at the board "Who's winning?" She asked. Sirius chuckled "Mione is of course, she always does." Hermione shook her head with a small smile.

Ginny chuckled, then frowned slightly "What is that? Is that peppermint? Do you smell that too?" she asked, glancing at Hermione. Sirius turned his head as he leaned slightly to one side, so he could look at Ginny. He shook his head "I don't smell anything." he said, looking at her like she had lost her mind.

Hermione on the other hand was looking like she might kill her friend. Ginny looked surprised for a moment at the look on Hermione's face. Then her eyes bugged slightly as she stood up and looked from Sirius to Hermione. She looked at the back of Sirius' head as he looked at the chess board. She glanced across the room to where his leather jacket hung on a hook by the door.

Ginny looked back to Hermione, who looked like she wanted to crawl under the table "Merlin's beard!" Everyone on the room turned to look at her, but Ginny ignored them all. She stood in front of Sirius now, as she leaned forward, close to his face and sniffed loudly. She stood up again, leaving Sirius looking very confused. "Is that firewhisky?" Ginny asked, narrowing her eyes. Sirius looked around the room at the others, but no one said anything. He shrugged "Maybe."

Ginny stepped back and grabbed Hermione's hand "You'll have to finish the later, I need to talk to her." Ginny pulled her out of the room and up the stairs and into her room. Ginny shut the door and turned to Hermione "Sirius?" she asked, looking shocked "I mean...Sirius? Harry's Godfather Sirius?" Hermione put her hands over her face and nodded "I know." she said, sounding muffled "I know alright, it's crazy, nothing could ever happen. He's Harry's Godfather, he's to old, he's..." Ginny chuckled "A beautiful man? Is that the description you were looking for?" Hermione sat on the bed and sighed "He is, but...he's also those other things, which makes him out of bounds."

Ginny sat on the bed beside her and shrugged "For now anyway." she smiled at her friend as she wrapped an arm around her shoulders "But maybe someday...?" Hermione smiled and nodded "Maybe someday."
