I have got to do that again! I got another 5 reviews for that fast update! But not right now. By the way, expect a major withdrawal of updates in April. Mainly because that'll be when the next 39 Clues book is out.*
Also, I had to choose who to find Sirius & Hermione in bed together, and I had to choose between
Harry
Ginny
Draco
Ron
Remus
And I picked Remus . Mainly because I want everyone to know about them after there actually is a them, and Remus seems like a good secret keeper.**
Oh and I'll probably be updating less frequently. (And, okay, that's twice I've said that now, without actually doing it, but this time I'm serious! I think…) Now my Dad's been going off about how our ISP's charging us extra, I'm only allowed to go online before 12:00 midday. And I normally go online at night.
Edit: Sorry, I forgot the recap, I'll add it in now. Sorry!
RECAP:
The next time he looked, she was asleep. He gently laid her down on the bed, but when he tried to leave, her hand wouldn't let him go. He looked at her, lying down, so peaceful and serene. Her hair was splayed around her head and her lips were parted ever so slightly.
He yawned, he was getting tired as well. He laid down next to her and closed his eyes.
Soon enough, they were both asleep. Hermione unconsciously moved closer to him, and Sirius put his arm around her, pulling her closer.
Her nightmares didn't start again that night.
Remus was using the Marauders Map to check were Sirius was. He had some good news, and he wanted to celebrate it with his best mate. He got out the old parchment and tapped it twice while saying "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good" he grinned at the memory of the day they finished the map. They had tried to think of something a teacher would never say. Sirius suggested a lot of… colourful language, but in the end they settled on James's idea. Harry was a lot like James now, the same voice, the same face.
Remus tore himself out of the past and whispered "Messers Padfoot". The map zoomed in on the Head Girls Dormitory, and Remus apparated to the front of the portrait hole as soon as he saw Sirius's dot. It was right next to Hermione's. And, if he wasn't mistaken, that was her bed they were lying on. He said "Dumbley's Orders", the teachers password, and Godric swung forward to admit him.
As soon as he saw the two lying in bed together, with his arm around her and her snuggled into his chest, he voiced his thoughts. "What the hell is this?!" He shouted.
The two woke up with a start. About a second went by, then the two noticed the position they were in, and promptly sprang apart. Remus was relieved to see that they had all their clothes on.
Hermione did the same thing, before she remembered what happened last night. She sighed in relief, before she remembered what she had told him. She had cried all over him like a baby, for Merlins sake!
"I'm sorry Remus, but nothing happened, I just had a nightmare." She tried to explain.
"And so Sirius here decided to sleep in the same bed as you because you had a nightmare?" Remus asked coolly.
Sirius ran a hand through his hair. "Look, Moony, nothing happened, alright? Hermione had a nightmare, I was doing my rounds, I heard her screaming stuff and I comforted her. That's it." He said distractedly.
"Wait, she was screaming? From a nightmare? That doesn't happen unless it's serious." Remus asked, concerned.
"No! No, it's nothing, just a silly little nightmare, it's nothing!" Hermione butted in.
"Love, it's not nothing. You were really distressed, and even if you weren't, having a dream about Vol—"
"No! Don't tell him! No. Please, you promised. It's just a little dream!" Hermione stopped him before he revealed what her dream was about. "I never should have told you in the first place, you were just there, and you wanted to know, and I needed to tell someone but I should have just written in my dia-" She stopped abruptly, clenching her jaws tightly together. She would not tell them about her diary! Not after what happened last time! She continued, more calmly "I never should have told you, because it was just a silly little nightmare that I shouldn't have bothered you with! But I did, and I'm sorry for that, but you promised that you wouldn't tell anyone else. I already told one person, and that's enough. Not everyone needs to know what goes on in my head. It's my head!" She finished, folding her arms and looking defiantly at the two men staring astonished at her.
"Ok, love, I won't tell anyone, but you have to tell someone." Sirius reasoned.
"I did tell someone. I told you." She lifted her head and looked him squarely in the eye.
"Oh, fine then, I'll drop it." Sirius said reluctantly.
"Okay, so Remus, you can go now. Why are you in my dormitory anyway?" Hermione asked curiously
"Oh, yeah!" Remus brightened as her remembered his news "I got as the job as Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher!" He explained.
"Oh, congratulations Remus!" Hermione congratulated.
'Yeah, congrats mate!" Sirius said
"But… Isn't Professor Snape the DADA teacher?" Hermione asked, confused. Inside, she was glad she had gotten Remus to forget about her nightmares.
"Yes, but since there have been some complaints about how averse he is to the Griffindors, Dumbledore wanted to put someone else in. It'll also be a good opportunity for the students to see how to duel." Remus explained.
"Well, I'll be off then." Remus said, and turned to go, but Hermione had grabbed his arm.
"Um.. Remus, could you not tell anyone else where you found Sirius & I?" Hermione asked meekly.
"Ok, but you have to keep telling Sirius about your dreams. You have to talk to someone. And, no, I don't mean like a therapist." Remus said, then left.
"Umm… Okay, can you leave now?" Hermione asked Sirius.
"Why? He asked.
"I have to change." She said flatly and then pushed him out the portrait hole.
Okay, Let's try out my new look. Hermione thought as she opened her wardrobe to her new clothes.
She chose an orange halter top and a denim bolero jacket with short sleeves, coupled with a pair of form-fitting jeans. She straightened her hair and applied a touch of lipstick and eye shadow. She turned around in front of the mirror and examined herself. Not too bad. She thought.
The brunette checked her watch, and seeing that she still had an hour before class, decided to write in her diary.
She got it out, pressed her thumb in the indent, got out her quill and started writing.
Dear Diary,
I had another nightmare tonight, not that that's any news. The same thing happened, I woke up, wanted to stop it, deluded myself into thinking I could, and then let myself down. But I forgot to put up the silencing charms.
I can't believe I forgot. Because I forgot, Sirius heard me on his rounds, screaming like a baby, and he came to check on me. He's so nice! He even put up with me telling him all about it, and—oh god, I told him about my dream! I should NOT have done that. Anyway, back to what happened last night.
He got me a glass of water, and when he came back, he tried to leave, but I didn't let him! Oh, why didn't I let him! I am a stupid little girl. I asked him to stay, because his presence is comforting, and with him there, it was like the nightmare never happened. Well, almost.
I asked him to stay, and then fell asleep. And then he got tired, and he went to sleep as well. So we slept together. And Remus found us. Sleeping together. His arm was wrapped around me, and I was cuddled up to his chest.
It was nice, with him all around me. He (And I can't believe I am saying this, because it sounds like one of the most stupid things I've ever heard, but since this is a book, and books are my friends (also a very stupid thing to say), and therefore cannot judge me, I'm saying it anyway) smelled really nice (told you). I mean, he had a kind of musky odour, and I loved it! Stupid nasal glands!
And, now Remus knows I have nightmares. Great. But he doesn't know what they're about. Thank God. But now he wants me to talk to Sirius about my dreams, otherwise he'll tell Harry, Ron, Ginny & Everyone. That man should have been in Slytherin. He's blackmailing me! Sneaky. Wait… So is Ginny… And Harry… And Sirius… And basically everyone I know, except for Ron, has tricked me in some form or other. Well, Sirius & Harry haven't tricked me yet, but I know they will. It's only a matter of time. If they have daily contact with Ginny, that means that they will slowly evolve into her.
I'm going to be surrounded by sneaky Slytherins. Ah, whatever.
You know what? When Ginny woke Sirius up, apparently she had a traumatic experience. Sirius sleeps in the nude. I tried to imagine what would be so traumatic about that, but I couldn't see what would be wrong. Oh, God. Dear Sweet Merlin, I imagined what Sirius Black would look like naked!!!!!!!!!! I am clearly insane. Must start sleeping more.
Bye,
Hermione
She ended her entry with her signature, and then turned it back into the diary. She placed it on the bookshelf, and decided to have a nap before she went down to the Great Hall for a quick bite to eat before class. She really didn't have much time to sleep last night.
She lied down on the bed, and was immediately assaulted by an onslaught of Sirius's scent. She inhaled deeply and tried to commit the smell to memory, before she caught herself and realized what she was doing. She stared accusingly at her pillow, as it was it's fault. "Stupid Nasal Glands" She muttered before she decided to skip the nap and just have breakfast.
When she walked into the Great Hall, she didn't notice that most people were staring at her, trying to figure out who the beautiful brunette was. She didn't notice, as she walked in, that a raven-haired Potions Professor had nearly choked on his breakfast.
He followed her with his eyes
Who the hell is that?
She seems familiar.
Merlin! That's Hermione!
What the hell's she been doing to make herself look so— here, he was about to think 'sexy', before he caught himself. Don't think that! That's your godson's best friend you're ogling! And indeed, he was ogling. He tore his eyes away from the teenager, but not before Remus noticed. The werewolf carefully noted this in the back of his mind.
Meanwhile, Hermione had eaten a piece of toast, despite Ginny's incessant pleas for her to eat more ("I'm fine Ginny!"), and left for the first class of the day. Defence Against The Dark Arts.
Okay, so honestly tell me what you think, because I think it was horrible. I have a headache when I write this, so I can blame it on that, but I still think that this is just atrocious.
And, I was intending Ginny to be with Harry, but now I'm considering some Ginny/Remus… Tell me what you think.
*I am telling you this now so I won't get any flames when I tell you later. Lol, I know, I'm evil. XD
**I used white text so you couldn't read it, unless you highlighted it. Why? Because I want you to wait the extra 2 minutes for you two find out who woke them up! XD
