AN: Not Jk Rowling. Reviews keep me happy a happy writer means more chapters.

The party was absolutely fantastic. I was passed from one set of arms to another being hugged from every direction. Professor Snape even pulled me aside to check and make sure the doxy wound was healing correctly. It was and he patted my shoulder awkwardly before walking away to speak with Professor McGonagall who was rumored to be his closest friend.

I tried to walk slowly around the room but my legs were still having problems moving correctly. My leg was having problems moving past the other, it really did feel like a weight was added to my leg. I miscalculated a step and almost fell into Fred's lap.

"Careful Granger or someone will think your hitting on me." He said winking at me. I froze shocked then blushed furiously and smacked his arm. Fred and George both stood up on either side of me.

"Ah come on Granger you know you love us." They said together then both leaned in and pecked my cheeks. I blushed and tried my hardest not to laugh. They both slipped their arms behind my back so I could walk.

"So how are your schemes coming along?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Schemes?" They asked in unison.

"Yes schemes I know you two are up to something." I said watching them closely.

"We have -"

"- No idea -"

"- What your talking about."

"Whatever you say guys just don't get caught." I said shaking my head trying not to laugh.

"Do you secretly like our products Granger?" Fred asked.

"I can think of one you might like." George said his eyes flickering over to Sirius. I stiffened what were they going to do to Sirius?

"What's the product?" I asked carefully.

They both leaned close to me and whispered, "Daydream Charms." I spluttered and blushed furiously. I looked up at them and they both seemed rather amused by reaction.

"Why would I possibly want one of those?" I asked in a dignified manner.

"Because we might have been trying to spy on the Order-"

"- and overheard something far more interesting earlier this evening." I looked between the two of them confused what in the world?

"Remus and Sirius seemed to be having quite the conversation about a certain student." George said watching my reactions closely. I tried to make my face politely puzzled.

"And what in the world did they say Georgie?" Fred asked as if he had never heard the story.

"Well Freddie I heard one Sirius Black say that he liked a Miss Granger more than he should." My mouth was suddenly dry and I felt light headed.

"He was obviously trying to pull a joke on Remus." I was as cool as a cucumber but my heart was pounding.

"It didn't really sound like it." Fred said seriously. My stomach gave an unpleasant jerk and I saw Remus glance up at me. He was frowning, it was close to the full moon so he was probably getting bombarded with my emotions.

"It sounded like Remus was telling Sirius to wait until you were seventeen to try anything. And what do you know you'll be seventeen around Christmas." I blanched and swayed on my feet. "We know about the time-turner and how much older you are." I was getting very close to hyperventilating now and Remus was quickly crossing the room towards Sirius.

"Hermione," Fred said squatting in front of me. "We don't care who you date or fall in love with but be careful how you tell mum. She was ranting about playboys who chased after young girls. We know in the wizarding world age doesn't matter I mean look at Dumbledore he's a hundred and fifteen. But mum doesn't think much of Sirius so ease her into it okay?" I nodded shocked and watched as they walked away but not before lowering me into a chair.

"Pet you okay?" Sirius asked kneeling in front of me. I nodded stiffly trying to digest everything Fred and George had told me.

"I guess its becoming pretty obvious to more people that..." I stuttered and blushed. "I like spending time with you drinking hot chocolate with a splash of Firewhisky." Sirius was looking around the room but his head snapped towards me shocked and I smirked. "Brightest witch of my age remember?"

"Sorry I thought it would help loosen you up." He said not looking apologetic at all.

"It did help me get to know you better." I said smiling.

"That it did but Hermione I'm not going to do anything until you are of age understand?" He asked looking closely at me. I nodded I did understand but I didn't want to.

"You know I'm older than you think right?" I asked watching him. He froze and slowly turned to look at me.

"How old are you?" he asked looking at me closely.

"I'll be seventeen the day after Christmas."

"BLOODY HELL!" Everyone in the room turned to look at us and I blushed brightly.
