Back, just as I said! ^^ This is a Guns n' Roses song called Think About You. It's a great song because the music perfectly catches the feelings you get when you've got a crush on someone. Great song, I definitely recommend it. ^^
...
I think about you
Honey you're the time my heart says 'yes'
I think about you
Deep inside I love you best
I think about you
You know you're the one I want
I think about you
Darling you're the only one, I think about you...
Yeah! Hahaha!
Think About You-Guns n' Roses
...
Sirius woke up the next morning feeling undeniably happy and refreshed. Better than he'd felt in quite a long time, and more mentally settled than he could ever remember being. He eased himself out of bed and stretched, groaning as his joints popped. He felt ready to fight off dozens of Death Eaters by himself. He felt younger.
Pulling on a pair of jeans, Sirius left his room, heading down to the kitchen where the night before he and Hermione had had their discussion and where Sirius knew was the beginning point of his newfound happiness. The other residents of his home had woken as well and were enjoying the breakfast made so care-filled by Mrs. Wealsey.
"Good morning, Molly," he said, taking his seat at the head of the table. "You look wonderful today."
Mrs. Wealsey tried to glare at him but just rolled her eyes and handed him a plate filled with all of his favourites. Things seemed to just be going his way. He didn't mind, really.
Hermione was also at the table, seated in between Harry and Remus, picking at her breakfast. "Eat up, dollface," Sirius said, winking at her. "It's a brand-new day, isn't it?"
She smiled and did as she was told.
After breakfast, Hermione announced that she would be going grocery shopping. Harry was sent with her, as there was a bounty on both of their heads and there was more power if the both of them went together.
Sirius couldn't help wanting to go with them. For a reason he couldn't place his finger on, he didn't want to leave Hermione. He couldn't help feeling as if his day was going so well only because she was there. And he couldn't stop thinking about her.
It was a strange feeling, one he wasn't entirely accustomed to, but he for sure didn't mind it.
That was, until he realised what it was. It was that feeling he'd felt when he'd first laid eyes on Lily Potter back in first year, when she was Lily Evans. A little boy crush that went away almost as fast as it has come. But here, it felt almost intensified, and it worried Sirius. She was so much younger than him, and obviously still hurting over Ron and the war and her parents. He couldn't let these feelings be made known!
...
That night an Order meeting was called. It was a very important meeting, and about something imperative they all be present for.
"Well, everyone," Remus said, standing, "we've got one of the numbers on our side. Come in, Mr. Malfoy."
Sirius's eyes turned icy as the young Mr. Malfoy came into the room nervously. His face was pale and haunted, his eyes dull. He looked as a starving child might, and one being followed by spirits.
"What is he doing in my house?" Sirius demanded through clenched teeth.
"Like I said, Sirius," Remus said, "he's changed to our side. He's been living on the streets trying to find us since the Battle of Hogwarts."
Sirius contented himself to silently glaring at the boy, who stumbled as he approached the table.
Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy's arch-nemesis, stood and helped Malfoy into her seat, giving up her chair for him. She truly was too good of a person. But he did catch the little glare she gave him, causing him to smile and try to push his bubbly, child-like happiness down and out of sight. He couldn't feel this way!
Remus quieted everyone's anger. "Draco has told me of the plans the Death Eaters have for us. They plan to target the ministry again by getting through to the high society people who work there. With Mr. Malfoy's help, I have devised a plan that involves six members-three boys and three girls."
Hermione raised her hand. "I volunteer myself."
Remus smiled. "Bless you, Hermione."
She smiled.
Not wishing to be outdone, Sirius raised his hand as well. "I want to help. Killing people is my specialty."
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Great," Remus replied, nodding. "Anyone else? I need two more boys and two more girls."
In the end, the volunteers included Hermione, Sirius, Ginny, Harry, Neville, and Luna.
"Alright, now I need a boy with a girl. Go ahead, partner up."
Hermione was horrified. She was partnered with Sirius. Sirius, though, couldn't have been happier. Bring it on.

I'm going to the library, but you can bet your computer/device you're reading this on that I'll be back!
