May Be You

by DominoTyler

Hermione and Sirius are brought together by a rather odd order mission. Both have had a difficult life, and are trying to put it behind them, but baggage is hard to leave behind. Will they be able to do it for each other? Series of songfics! SBHG. Enjoy!

40. Lay it Down

Last chapter for the night because it's late and I have church in the morning! ^^
...
(Lay it down)
Lay it down
Make it alright
(Lay it down)
Lay it down
I'll hold you so tight
(Lay it down)
Oh... before the morning light
It's gonna be alright
Lay it Down-Aerosmith
...
"Oh," Hermione said. "Well...I...um..."
"We don't have to do anything if you're not ready to, dollface," Sirius said, his eyes practically the definition of smouldering. Was he trying to give her a heart attack?
"I'm not sure..." Hermione mumbled. "I mean..."
"Do you love me?"
"What?"
"Do you love me?"
"Of course I do, Sirius, don't be ridiculous."
"And do you promise to love me forever? And that you'll be my wife?"
Hermione swallowed and nodded. "Of course," she replied softly. "And...And you? My husband?"
Sirius nodded, still gazing into her eyes. "I love you."
"I love you, too-"
Sirius brought his lips to hers again. He kissed her deeply, laying her back on the bed, throwing aside her book. And Hermione kissed back.
"I'm scared," she whispered.
"I'll be gentle," he promised. "It'll only hurt when it has to, I swear as a Marauder that I'd never hurt you if I didn't have to."
Hermione nodded, a tear leaking out of her eye. She truly did love this man.

Wow, that was soppy.
I'll maybe post more tomorrow, if I remember. ^^ I hope you enjoyed! Please review!
