It took them seven months to finally know each other's name.

And none of them complained. They stood there, still, unmoving, in the living room full with family and friends, two hands still entwined, staring at each other, as the final piece had now been slotted into place, perfectly.

Harry fake cough brought them back from their trance. His eyebrows rose as high as his hairline. "Alright?"

"All right." Stressing the first word. Sirius answered with a fond smile, eyes still locked on Hermione's.

Hermione blushed and smiled sweetly back at him, tightening her grip on his hand. "Yeah. All is right."

A/N: Thank you for reading my very first published fanfic. I've posted a ONE-SHOT of one rare pairing, My Boy. It was an experiment on trying out another genre, M rated.

As you might noticed there's still a lot of things I've left unanswered and it is meant to be left unanswered in this fic because my next fic will answer it all.

Please favourite this story and leave a review!

Before They Met will be posted on September 10, 2017.
