AN: I think it will take a couple chapters for Sirius turning to his Black tendencies. Like I said before I want to make my reviewers happy I've just never tried writing Sirius in a darker tone. Still not JK Rowling.

Sirius POV

"Why do you want to get married so soon?" Herman asked after a long pause.

"Well to be honest sir I'm not sure if I'll live through the upcoming war. I want to live each day to the fullest and have no regrets. Your daughter is one of the most amazing women I have ever met and I would be proud to call her my wife."

"What would you do if you both survived the war and it happened to only be a passing fling?" Jean asked shakily after a strained pause.

"Ma'am I have lived twelve years in Azkaban. Your daughter makes me forget that. She makes me feel like I'm actually worthwhile. I know what I want and that won't change. You obviously know your daughter better than I do but I really think she cares about me."

Jeans eyes shimmered with unshed tears. "Of course your worthwhile Sirius."

"What about the age difference you are a fair bit older than her." Herman asked rubbing his eyes.

"Well wizards live longer than muggles I mean you've met Dumbledore he's a hundred and fifteen and can be considered by some to be young. I think its a two to one ratio actually." I was trying to be as honest as possible but my hands were shaking.

"Would you treat her right including any children?" Jean asked eying me.

"Yes." My hands were still shaking.

"Would money ever be a problem?" Herman asked turning to look at Hermione.

"No, one of my uncles left me a small fortune when he passed away and I also have a rather large house that was left to me from my mother."

"Sirius I really do like you and think you would be good for her I just think its a bit sudden." I closed my eyes and blew out a breath. It wasn't exactly a no but it still hurt.

"Please think about it sir. It would be some time soon that I would propose and I would like your blessing."

"Your going to do it either way aren't you." Herman sighed defeated.

"No sir. I love Hermione dearly but I wouldn't do something you didn't approve of." Herman looked up surprised. He looked to Jean and they shared a long look speaking with their eyes. I looked between the two of them biting my lip. Finally Jean turned back to me a large smile spreading across her face.

"Welcome to the family Sirius!" And then Jean pulled me into a bone crunching hug. Remus stood in the doorway his mouth open in shock and I mouthed, Your next. He blushed and left without a backward glance.

AN: Sorry its so short guys it was really difficult to write this chapter for some reason. Please review.
