He never forgot, She whispered sadly aloud.
And I told you, I couldn't forget you, An older voice speaking behind her.
(- Don't Forget)

Hermione, looking upon Sirius, the tears in her eyes blurred her vision, but there he was standing right in front of her clear as day.
Hermione still on the floor, she took a deep breath and tried to stop crying, she tried to speak as well but she couldnt. The shock alone was enough to make Hermione speechless. Sirius moved closer to Hermione, getting on his knees. He didnt say anything. Silence, echoed through the room.
But then she felt two familiar but now slightly larger hands on her face Sirius, she whispered . "How is it you?...the veil" Hermione now speaking. She felt thumbs brushing up against her tear stained face.
"Hermione, I'm not sure, how I can explain it, I don't know what happened to me in the veil but it was like I didn't have a body but I was still me" he said, Hermione brought a hand slowly to the side of his face, afraid if he'll just disappear from the contact.
"And then, I had woken up on the ground, outside of the veil, as if it had never happened but I knew it did" Sirius explained. Before he could say anything else, Hermione pulled him into an embrace.
Hermione regaining some of her focus, "How do you still...remember" she finally asked Sirius.
"Actually believe it or not, after Dumbledore, modified Lily, James and Remus memories, and after they had left, when it came to be my turn, He couldn't do it, I don't remember his exact words, but he said, the knowledge you've obtained of the future must be gone but however the love that you have gained and felt as well should never be erased" Sirius explained
"Dumbledore, locked you away in my head, and it wasn't till I saw you again, it started coming back to me, and those feelings haven't changed once" Sirius finished
In spite of it all, Hermione felt a small lone chuckle come out "Sounds like Dumbledore" she said,
Hermione pulled out of the embrace, and she put her hands on Sirius face, like he had held hers and placed a kiss on his forehead, but then Sirius lips met with Hermione's and he kissed her like he always had.
