AN: Not JK Rowling.

I refused to tell Sirius why I had been in detention. He would have blown a gasket if he had found out I only got detention for tripping and dropping my books. Apparently that was littering now.

"Baby please just tell me." Sirius said his arm wrapped around me.

"No its fine it doesn't matter." I said leaning against him heavily. He rubbed his hand up and down my arm and I shivered against his side.

"Well besides the detention how have the past few weeks been?" Sirius asked kissing my forehead.

"Pretty good. Ron has a girlfriend named Luna. She's a little weird, her dad is the editor of the Quibbler." Sirius barked out a laugh and a small smile automatically crossed my face. I absolutely loved his laugh.

"Harry has an unrequited crush." Sirius' head popped up and he smiled at me.

"Anyone I know?" Sirius asked watching me closely.

"Yes you do. Its Ginny." His eyes grew wide then an easy smile spread across his face.

"Well that's ironic." Sirius said laughing.

"That's what I said but she's dating a boy named Michael right now so we'll just have to wait and see." I smiled at Sirius and leaned closer to him.

"And how is my favorite girl doing?" He asked ruffling up my hair.

"I'm good Sirius, now that I'm with you. Its been so hard not being with you." I said leaning against him as a pillow. He smiled again and I settled closer to him drifting off to sleep.

Sirius POV

Hermione was falling asleep against me. It was obvious by the circles under her eyes she hadn't been sleeping well. She shifted slightly to get more comfortable and her skirt rode up a little.

I hadn't gotten a close look at her yet but she was still wearing her Hogwarts uniform. Her hair wasn't as chaotic as usual and she was wearing some great black lace up boots that did amazing things to her legs. The creamy skin of her thighs were showing. I closed my eyes and swallowed thickly. Oh man she looked good.

"Sirius?" Ginny asked. I opened my eyes as she came into the room a small smile on her face.

"Hey Ginny, hows your dad?" I asked softly shifting Hermione so her skirt covered her legs better.

"He's doing good but its Harry I'm worried about." She said nibbling on her lip.

"What happened?" I asked trying to sit up but Hermione was clinging to me and made it difficult.

"He thinks he attacked dad." Ginny said sadly nibbling on her lip.

"Why would he think that?" I asked sharply. Hermione moaned softly and pulled me closer.

"We might have overheard what the Order members were talking about. He's hiding with Buckbeak in your mothers room."

"Is it even possible?" I asked wiping my hand over my eyes.

"No." She shook her head. "I know what its like and I really doubt he's been possessed."

"I forgot about that." I said vaguely.

"Lucky you," she muttered darkly then shook her head to clear it. "How did sleeping beauty make out?"

"Not very good. She got detention." I frowned touching her hand softly.

"What? Ugh not again!" I froze and looked up slowly.

"What do you mean not again?" I asked darkly. Ginny shifted uncomfortably and bit her lip. "Ginny what don't I know?"

Ginny flopped unceremoniously into the chair across from me. "Umbridge has been targeting Harry and Hermione the most."

I sighed darkly and wiped my eyes. "Why?"

"Apparently they seem really close and she thinks Hermione is his Achilles Heel." At my confused look she gave me a humorless smile. "She thinks their together."

I blinked. "You mean together together?"

"Yeah, apparently. Umbridge wouldn't be able to understand a relationship if it hit her in the face. All Hermione talks about is you and Harry likes some mystery girl." I bit my cheek so I wouldn't smile. "The most they act like is siblings but I guess she could still be his Achilles Heel if you look at it that way." She muttered frowning.

"How's Michael?" I asked pulling Hermione closer to me. She sighed against my skin and I shivered.

"Hermione told you didn't she." It wasn't a question.

"Yeah." I said trying not to smile.

"He's fine I guess but I'm really getting sick of him treating me like a girl."

I frowned and chose my words carefully. "But Ginny you are a girl."

"I know I just don't want him to treat me like I'm not his equal." She frowned and kicked at a pillow.

"Ah okay now it makes sense." I said nodding. "Some guys are just raised that way but if you really don't like it maybe you should just date someone else."

"Maybe." She said nodding then smiled impishly at me. "Speaking of dating how are you and my dear best friend getting along?"

"We're doing good." I said nonchalantly running my fingers over Hermione's skin.

"And when do you think you'll propose?" She asked looking at her nails.

"What?" I asked shocked.

"Oh come on Sirius its easy to see you love her." I looked away biting my lip. "She also told me what Dumbledore said about waiting."

"Uhh." I shifted uncomfortably and looked at Hermione.

"Okay in all honesty we know You-Know-Who won't stay in the shadows forever and he will try to take over the ministry, right?" I nodded slightly dazed. "When that happens on of the first people they will go after is Harry, Ron and Hermione. Hermione is automatically a target because she is muggle-born but the fact that she's so smart and one of Harry's best friends." Ginny paused and swallowed thickly. "She thinks she won't survive the war."

"I know I won't," Hermione said her eyes still closed.

"Hermione -" Ginny started but one chocolate eye opened and she glared at Ginny.

"I've already accepted that I won't survive this war there is no point for me to marry Sirius only for us to be ripped apart a few months later. Besides I don't want him persecuted for marrying a mudblood." My mouth dropped open in shock but she shook her head and left the room with tears in her eyes.
