Helllooooo! I mostly started writing this because I didn't want to study for my exams, but I'm kinda getting into it now. I'm still incredibly busy, so the chapters will likely be on the shorter side, but I'll try not to abandon it completely.
It was the night after Sirius and I had begun our illicit relationship, and the inhabitants of Grimmauld place were sitting together by the fireplace. It seems a picturesque holiday gathering, and it would have been, had my dirty thoughts not infiltrated the room. Sirius, harry, and Ginny were sitting next to each other on the couch and I was sitting on the carpet next to the fireplace, letting the flames heat my body. Harry and Ginny were cuddling up on the couch and talking with Ron about Mrs. Weasley's iconic Christmas gifts. Their interaction left Sirius and I to have a silent conversation between us.
My legs were crossed out in front of me, and I was leaning back on my palms. Subconsciously, I may have chosen the position to entice Sirius. Perhaps it was a conscious decision. I turned my head to look at Sirius, and found his grey eyes focused on me. His gaze was focused so directly on my face, my body, that I thought he was trying to burn a hole through me. My face started to heat, partially due to the hot flames to my right, but mostly because of the way Sirius was looking at me.
I glanced at Harry; he was an attractive person, in a young and fresh sort of way. I brought my eyes back to Sirius, who was continuing to undress me with his eyes. Those eyes. Sirius' face was ruggedly handsome, and his body was strong and experienced. Sirius' attractiveness was of an unconventional sort, which drew me to him even more. I swept my eyes over his legs, which were crossed out in front of him, not unlike my own. One of his arms was resting on his thigh, and other was leaning on the arm of the couch, supporting his face. His face. His lips were perfect, and I lingered my gaze on them for a little longer than anything else. For the first time that evening, Sirius' eyes met mine, and I let the smallest hint of a smirk dance across my lips. Sirius leaned back and ran a hand through his wavy black hair, looking smug and cocky, as usual.
"Hermione?" My head jerked towards the others in the room as I heard my name.
"hmm?" my voice was coarse. It was Harry who had spoken, but Ginny was looking at me too. Her eyes glanced from me to Sirius, and then back to me. I tried to look inconspicuous.
"Want to go gift shopping with Harry and me tomorrow? Ron is going to the Burrow tomorrow, and I doubt you want to left alone here with Sirius." Ginny spoke this time. I'm sure she said the last part of the sentence to goad me.
I agreed, and excused myself to go to sleep. On my way out, I glanced at Sirius. He could see the message in my eyes, he always could.
It hadn't been twenty minutes after I'd excused myself that I heard my door creak open. My back was turned towards the door, but I assumed it was Sirius.
"Hey." I tried to sound as seductive as possible. But when I turned around, I was face to face with a certain redhead. Ginny stood with her arms crossed and a look on her face that told me it was futile to try to spin a lie.
"We've only kissed once! Yesterday!"
"I knew it! You guys were having mental sex downstairs weren't you?"
I didn't answer her, but went to shut the door instead, realizing we could be easily heard if someone was in the vicinity.
"I wouldn't call it mental sex." I said this sheepishly as Ginny followed me to sit on my bed.
"I'm not you, so I don't know if it's worth it. Obviously he's incredibly sexy, but he's quite a bit older than you, Hermione. Not to mention that he's Harry's godfather."
"I know all of this Ginny."
"But you're going to continue it anyway, right? I can never talk you out of anything. Well I'd better go, you're probably expecting a visitor soon." Ginny winked at me as she exited the room.
I didn't move from my position on my bed as I thought about what I was doing with Sirius; however, I didn't get much time to think, as Sirius suddenly appeared in my room. He immediately pinned me on my back and started ravishing my lips. I must have been insane, because I pushed him off.
"What are you doing?" He wasn't fazed.
"Kissing you love." He looked so handsome hovering above me that I decided to just give in. Unsurprisingly, this wasn't the last time my attraction to Sirius would make me act impulsively.
