"Hermione, I swear to you that this isn't one of my joke proposals" Sirius said as he tried calming Hermione's tears down. He simply held her to him, his hand rubbing her back out of a comforting gesture; mostly just letting her cry it all out was seem to working best. "Hermione, I know haven't been the most reasonable man, when comes to the subject of marriage; I came from a family with a long line of arranged marriages and huge portion of them had been incest." Confessed Sirius Black, "when I attended James wedding I thought it was alright but even then I still didn't think that marriage was for me." He added.
"However it wasn't until Remus and Dora actually did have a wedding that which got me thinking otherwise, I mean here we have a man who punished himself for being bitten by a werewolf at such a young age. Then you have someone like Nymphadora, and now look at them". Sirius explained as best he could Sirius turned his face to look at Hermione, "and then you came into my life Hermione, in a way I didn't think possible and then everything after that, just seemed all upside-down"
"Hermione, you make me upside-down, that I couldn't possibly be or even see right-side up; so I'm willing to marriage a shot if you will be the one, I shoot it with"
Hermione looked into his eyes and smiled.
