Sorry it's been so long without an update, butI kind of lost my muse for this story. Hopefully it won't be so long between updates again. I hope you like this one, let me know.
Sirius sat down beside Hermione. Harry had his head in a book, looking up spells, and Hermione sat alone, with a frown on her face. "I can't believe he left." she said, turning to look at him. Sirius cocked his head to the side as he looked at her "He'll come around, he'll probably show up in the morning, and act as if this whole thing never happened." he said, trying to sound reassuring.
Hermione sighed and looked away again, the frown still on her face. Sirius stood and went to help Harry. But no matter what he tried, he couldn't get the picture of her and that frown out of his mind, no matter how much he told himself he needed to focus, no matter how much he told himself that Ron would be back, it was never enough. She was unhappy, and because of that, so was he.
If you asked, he would never be able to point to the time when she became so important to him, but he knew she was one of his very best friends. Someone who knew all his faults, all about his past, but cared for him anyway. And here he was, unable to to do the simple task of making her smile.
Bloody Ron.
Sirius looked at her once more and shook his head as he thought to himself "If I had a girl like Hermione when I was his age, or even now, there's no bloody way I'd leave her alone. She's the kind of girl you stick around for."
Sirius pulled out his wand, pointed it at the book in Harry's hand, and flicked his wrist. The book flew into the air above Harry's head. Harry threw a glare at his God-father, before reaching up to snag the book. A few moments later, with another flick of his wrist, Sirius had the book in the air once again. Harry sighed and grabbed the book again. Sirius glanced at Hermione, and when he saw that she was watching, he flicked his wrist once again.
"Oi!" Harry yelped at the book flew from his tight grasp before landing at his feet with a "THUD" Hermione chuckled and Sirius threw a glance her way in time to see her hide a smile behind the book in her hand. She looked over the top of the book, and met his grey eyed gaze. Gave him another little smile, then went back to reading her book.
Sirius put his wand away and handed Harry his book "Here, you should really keep a better hold on this." he said, earning a small chuckle from the young witch. Harry rolled his eyes and shook his head. But when the two where sure Hermione was busy reading and would not hear them, Harry leaned toward Sirius a little and in a hushed voice said "Thank you." Sirius shrugged "Anytime mate."
Sirius glanced at the witch once more and knew at what he said was true, he would always try to keep a frown from her face. He also knew that Ron would be back, after all, she's the kind you stick around for.
