She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
she takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
woah oh oh
Sweet child o' mine
woah oh oh oh
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet Child o' Mine-Guns n' Roses

Something about the way Hermione looked reminded him of his Hogwarts years. It reminded him of how happy he was, having his best friends around him, loved by everyone just because of his looks and his wit. They were happier, more carefree times, times he wished he could go back to sometimes.
But other times he didn't want to go back to those times. As he sat out in the dark, stroking Hermione's hair, he thought he never wanted to be anywhere else but here. Her hair was so soft and pretty. It captured the moonlight and shone beautifully.
Her skin was soft and smooth as well. He ran a calloused finger along her cheek, savouring the feeling. He enjoyed the smoothness. She was a bit cold, though, so Sirius decided he should probably take her home. He stood with her in his arms and apparated. Hermione was so out of it she didn't wake, not even when he laid her in their bed and moved the blankets over her body.
After Sirius owl'd Remus, asking him to pick up his bike, Sirius returned to the bedroom so he could continue to admire Hermione's beauty. It was a strange beauty, to be sure, one you almost had to look for, but it was still there nonetheless. Like in her cute little nose and her wide, bright eyes, now closed as she dreamed, hopefully about Sirius himself. Beauty could also be found in her lips, forming a small "o" as she dreamed.
Sirius fell asleep that night with Hermione on his thoughts.
