Hermione let out a loud sneeze.

Sirius came running. "You okay, Kitten?"

"What do you think?" Hermione asked in a nasally voice.

Sirius's eyes were soft as he came over to her. "I know you don't feel well, and I hate that." He pressed a hand to your forehead. "And unfortunately, you're still burning up."

Remus walked through the doorway. "I have some tea for you, Love."

"I don't want tea," she said, sniffling slightly. "I want to go to work. I have a big presentation planned for today."

Remus and Sirius shared a look.

Remus gestured for Sirius to talk.

Sirius took a deep breath. "Hermione, you're not going to work."

"Yes, I am," Hermione argued. It would have sounded fiercer if she didn't have a coughing fit right afterwards.

Remus shook his head. "You're sick. You're staying in bed."

They both kissed her sweaty forehead.

"Don't argue," Sirius murmured.

"Go to sleep," Remus nodded, and they both left the bedroom.

Hermione sat up in bed. 'They think I'm actually going to listen to them? Yeah, right.'

She stood up on shaky legs and slowly, she managed to get dressed. She was out of breath by the time she finished, but at least she was clothed for a day at work.

She grabbed all of the files that she needed and for the first time since they moved in together at the nice little cottage, Hermione wished there was a fireplace in the bedroom. Now, she had to go to the sitting room and pray Sirius and Remus weren't near the room.

She quietly opened the bedroom door and peeked out. So far so good.

She carefully walked down the hallway, doing her best to make little to no sound. She turned a corner and saw the sitting room. And there was no one there.

'Where are they?'

That's when she heard banging in the kitchen.

Hermione grinned. This was going to be easier than she thought.

She walked as quickly as possible to the sitting room and just as she stepped foot into the room, an alarm sounded.

Hermione gasped and quickly stepped away.

"Hermione, Hermione, Hermione," Sirius tsked as he came to her from behind her.

"See, Paddy. I told you the alarm was a good idea," Remus retorted.

"You definitely know our girl," Sirius agreed.

Hermione hung her head. "Back to bed?" she asked in a defeated voice.

"Back to bed," they answered simultaneously, and she trudged back to the bedroom, with the two of them following her.
