AN: Those of you who love Sirius will love the next few chapters which will be from his perspective. Still not JK Rowling.

Sirius POV

It took a lot of quick thinking and me willing to be tied up for Madame Pomfrey not to throw me out of the infirmary. I sat next to the bed where Hermione lay pale and unmoving while I was tied to a chair. Remus kept smirking at me but I just rolled my eyes. Madame Pomfrey shoved one potion after another down Hermione's throat. After ten minutes she finally sighed and said she was no longer in critical condition.

"Will you wake her up?" I asked looking at Hermione closely.

"No she needs to wake up naturally." She said looking through some potions.

The others were brought in shortly after by Kingsley and Moody. Ginny's ankle was obviously broken, Ron was covered in welts and a dazed blonde had a large cut by her eye.

"What happened to Ron?" I asked looking at him closely.

"He summoned some brains from a tank," the blonde said shaking her head.

"Why are you tied up in a chair?" Ginny asked after Madame Pomfrey healed her leg.

"Cuz I'm a crazed murderer." I said shrugging. Ginny snorted into her sheets laughing. Madame Pomfrey was too busy applying Dr. Ubbly's Oblivious Unction to Ron's welts to respond.

"Sirius Black?" The blonde said softly watching me with large eyes.

"Yes?" I asked nervously. Her eyes darted quickly between Hermione and myself. She blinked confused then shook her head. Did she know?

"I'm Luna Lovegood." She said smiling brightly at me.

"Nice to meet you Luna. I would shake your hand but -"

"You seem to be a little tied up." Dumbledore said frowning coming into the room. "Madame Pomfrey you can release Sirius he has been given a full pardon from the ministry."

I looked up my mouth dropping open in shock. "I'm free?"

"Yes." Dumbledore said smiling.
"You were only gone half an hour," I muttered in shock.

"Apparently they believe everything I have to say now." His eyes were twinkling and he pointed his wand at me. The ropes fell to the ground and I stood up stretching.

"Thank you Albus." I said shaking his hand vigorously. He clapped me on the and smiled warmly at me.

"Harry do you mind if I speak to you?" Dumbledore asked turning to him. Harry pulled away from Ginny who had been passionately kissing.

"Uhh yeah." He said blushing. He quickly stood up and went to leave but I pulled him close to me.

"You and I need to have a little chat about girls later." Harry blushed brighter and quickly moved to follow after Dumbledore.

The moment they left I started laughing heartily. "Aw Ginny you two are perfect for each other."

She smiled brightly at me. "How long have you known?"

"Since Christmas. What about that Michael kid?" I asked going over to sit next to Hermione and pulled her hand into mine.

"I broke up with him last week," she shrugged nonchalantly. "But the spark was gone ages ago."

"How are you going to tell Ron?" I asked looking at the boy in question who was peacefully sleeping at the moment.

"He'll figure it out soon enough." She said shrugging. Neville was sitting quietly next to the window looking out at the sunrise.

"You okay there Neville?" I asked. He jumped and turned to look at me. I smiled at him reassuringly.

"Uhh yeah. Just a little nerve wracking to see Bellatrix Lestrange and to have her put the Cruciatus curse on me." He shook his head and looked back out at the grounds.

"I knew your parents Neville. They were some of the nicest people I ever met. If you ever want to know about them you can ask me or even Remus." He blinked rapidly and swallowed thickly.

"Thank you." He whispered his voice thick with emotion.

The hours passed and the others in the room fell asleep. I wasn't the least bit tired and watched Hermione closely as the sun rose higher into the sky. She was starting to get more color back and it gave me reason to believe there would be no lasting affects.

The door opened around mid-morning and hit the wall. The other occupants of the room jumped awake and immediately grabbed their wands. Harry and Dumbledore walked in a moment later a strange look on both their faces.

"Sirius -" But Dumbledore was cut off by a man and a woman who came rushing into the infirmary equal looks of fear on their faces. The woman had thick curly brown hair and the man was short and had chocolate colored eyes. Oh Merlin!

"Sirius this is Herman and Jean Granger, Hermione's parents." I let go of Hermione's hand and covered my face. Oh man I only hoped Herman wouldn't hit me when he found out about Hermione and I.
