Sorry for the long wait.
It was over. Voldemort was dead. The battle had been fought, and many had died. Hermione stood beside Ron as he looked at the still form of his brother. The brother that had once had more life than any other. She reached for his hand and gave it a squeeze. He squeezed back before letting go as he let himself be pulled into the circle of his family.
Hermione stood outside the circle. She looked around at all the families and friends of the ones who had died tonight, and she was at a loss. She had no family here, all of her family was safely away from this place. Then she saw him, sitting alone, his head in his hands as he grieved over his lost loved ones.
Hermione walked over and sat down beside Sirius, and placed a hand on his shoulder. He raised his head and looked at her "They're gone, all of them, I'm the only one left now." Hermione scooted a little closer. Sirius shook his head "What am I suppose to do now?"
Hermione shook her head "You're not the only one left. Look over there." she said, pointing to the Weasel's "Do you see that amazing young man over there?" she asked, looking at Harry, as he stood with Ron and his family "You have him, he will always need you." Hermione looked into his eyes "You have me, you are not alone Sirius. I know they're gone now, and I know it's going to be hard without them, but you are not alone. You have family."
Sirius didn't say anything, he just sat there looking at this incredibly smart young women in front of him. Hermione scooter a little closer and laid a hand on his back. Sirius leaned towards her a little and let her wrap her arms around him.
They sat like that for some time, her quietly holding him as he took comfort from her. Hermione didn't know what would come next. After so long, they had finally reached their goal. But she did know that she would not let this man in her arms ever be left alone. This man that she secretly loved, this man that she was almost certain would never know of said love, or return it. It didn't matter, he was what matter and right now he needed her, so she would be there for him.
Hermione pulled back and looked at him "I'm not going to let you be alone." She forced a smile "You can't get rid of me that easy." Sirius tried for his trademark smirk, but it came out as more of a grimace. Hermione stood up and held her hand out "Come on, let's go see how our family is." Sirius looked at her hand before reaching out and taking it with his own, letting himself be pulled along after her. Letting himself be pulled along to the group of grieving redheads, and his Godson. Letting himself be pulled along to his family.
