"Hello there Kitten."
"Hello love, where have you been?" Hermione had come home from lunch with Ginny to an empty house, after realizing Sirius was gone she put away her purchases and settled into a bath which was were he found her when he came home.
"I brewed wolfsbane for Remus and took it over this morning. If I'd known this is what I'd come home to I'd have left much sooner," his vpice husky as he looked down at her.
"You're going to have to wait a bit longer because I need to start getting ready and I don't think I want you to see what I bought just yet," she teased as she stood up and summoned a towel. Sirius grabbed her from the tub making her squeal and deposited her onto the counter and settled between her thighs.
"Sirius..."
Slowly he untied the towel and lowered his head to her shoulder sucking on the soft spot between her neck and shoulder. Unable to control her moan she wrapped her legs around his waist. With her distracted he brought a calloused hand to her left breast and lightly pinched her nipple causing Hermione to tighten her grip on his waist and pull herself closer and begin working on his shirt. Pushing it off his shoulders she wound her arms around her neck and pushed her chest flush against his own. She smiled as she felt a growl resonate in his chest until he pulled away.
"Sirius," she whined.
"Kitten we need to get ready for dinner," he laughed before setting her back on the floor swatting her arse before leaving the bathroom.
Oh he is going to pay for that she mused as she followed him into the bedroom. In the closet she opened her top drawer and waited until Sirius left the closet before pulling out a little black corset set she bought earlier that day. Smiling to herself she put on the cheeky underwear and used her wand to tie up the small corset before grabbing her dress. Draped her dress on the bed she went into the bathroom to do her hair and makeup, completely ignoring Sirius as she did. He stood at the foot of the bed, mouth agape, staring at the bathroom door. Was that.. He didn't move from his position until she reemerged, hair done in a loose up-do and light make-up on. Grinning at his expression she went back into the closet for a pair of heals and sat on the bed to put them on. When she was done she gave him her back as she slipped into the dress and slowly pulled it up her body, smiling to herself when she heard Sirius groan from his spot at the foot of the bed.
"You ready?" she smiled at him innocently.
"You are playing a dangerous game Kitten," his voice husky with lust.
Walking over to him she kissed his chest before buttoning the rest of his shirt and smoothing it down his body. "You look very...dashing Lord Black," she purred.
Pulling her to him in a rough manner he brought his face to her ear, "Just wait until we get home Ms. Granger. I'm going to fuck you into the wall until you beg for me to let you finish." His crude promise filled her belly with fire and made her knees weak. "Lets go Kitten."
"That looks delicious!"
"Would you like to try it Kitten?" he smirked.
"Only if you don't mind," she grinned back as he raised his fork and offered it to her. "Oh it's heavenly!"
Chuckling Sirius leaned across the table and kissed her, thoroughly tasting the chocolate cake on her tongue. "Yes it is," he smirked as he sat back in his chair. "Now I have a present for you."
"No, you've already done so much you didn't need to get me anything."
Ignoring her protests he withdrew a small jewelry box and passed it across the table. She eyed him suspiciously before picking it up and opening it, gasping at the contents. Gently taking the necklace from the box she laid it in her palm and looked at it closer. On a delicate chain sat a white gold bog with small black diamonds for eyes. "Sirius.." she breathed finally looking up at him with glassy eyes.
Smiling at her he got up from his seat and came to stand beside her, understanding what he was doing she stood up and handed him the necklace before turned her back to him so he could fasten it around her neck. She fixed it at her throat and he kissed her neck before ushering her back into her seat. "I've charmed it so that if you need me all you have to do grasp it, think of where you are or what you need and I will know."
"How?" She questioned giving him an astonished confused look.
He grinned and pulled his own necklace from his shirt, it was a simple round disk embossed with the Black family crest. "I connected the two, so when you try to call me, mine with warm up and you're message will appear on the back if you have one."
Looking at him with wonder she couldn't help but smile, "This is amazing Sirius."
"Anything for you Kitten. And I'll admit it's just as much for me as for you. I feel better knowing you can get a hold of me no matter what."
"I love it, thank you."
Leaving the restaurant Hermione looped her arm in his and leaned into him. They walked along Diagon Alley towards the apparition point but before they reached it Sirius shifted their course and brought them into Florish and Blotts, "What are we doing in here?"
"I know you're on you last book." Almost shaking with excitement Hermione turned to the bookshelves, Sirius following close behind her with a wolfish grin as she stacked books in his arms. Once they paid Sirius shrunk her purchases and put them in his cloak before taking her back into the night air. At the apparition point he pulled her into his arms and she made quick work melting into him as she felt a pressure in her navel.
Suddenly they were in the hallway of Grimmuald, outside their bedroom. Sirius scooped her up and proceeded to pin her to the bedroom door. He set her down just enough to unzip her dress and let it fall to her ankles before spinning her around and slowly loosening her corset with a painful amount of calm. Freeing her chest he let the corset fall to the floor and picked her back up pinning her to the door again. Bringing her mouth to his he nipped at her bottom lip to gain further entrance, as they battled do dominance Hermione clawed at his shirt. Unable to get it off fast enough she growled into his mouth and used wandless magic to rid him of his shirt.
"Tut tut Kitten, so impatient," he playfully reprimanded biting her lip.
"Sirius, I need you."
"I hope you aren't too attached to these knickers," he growled and he ripped them from her body. She heard his pants unzip and she felt him rubbing against her core.
"Sirius.."
"Tell me what you want Kitten."
"Fuck me like you promised." With that he slammed into her making her head fall back into the door with a cry. He stilled inside her at the sound worried he'd hurt her. Frowning she fisted her hands into his hair she kissed him in a manner that was almost feral before biting his lip, "Keep going. I'm not going to break Sirius!"
Growling into her mouth he complied, pounding into her in rapid succession. Thanks to their earlier teasing it didn't take long before Hermione felt a delicious pressure in her abdomen, "S-Sirius..ah...I'm right...there." Kicking open the door he pulled out of her, causing Hermione to cry out at the sudden loss. Before she could say anything he dropped her on the bed and flipped her onto her stomach swiftly re-entering her getting yet another passionate cry in response.
"Oh gods! Ah! Sirius please!"
He continued his assault, fueled by her moans. As he felt the tension rising in his belly he felt her walls clinch around him in a vice like grip. "Sirius!" He continued to thrust into her prolonging her climax as long as he could before coming to his own deep inside her, calling out her name at an equal volume. Unable to hold himself up he rolled them to their sides, keeping the contact between them and kissed her exposed neck causing her to shiver against him.
"You ripped my new knickers," she laughed.
Smothering his face in her hair he smirked, "I'll buy you more." Resituating themselves under the covers, Hermione grasped her new necklace absently and drifted to sleep to the smell of his aftershave wrapped around her.
The day after her birthday Hermione walked into her department, her hand absently playing with the pendent on her neck. She was still sore from the night before but with every step she took she couldn't help but smile at the feeling.
"Good morning Ms. Granger. I put your mail on your desk already and your lunch meeting was cancelled. I also have some papers for you to sign from the Department of Mysteries."
"Department of Mysteries?" taking the pile she looked them over briefly, "Ah yes, thank you Olivia."
"Would you like your tea?"
"Oh no, I had my morning cup already, thank you." Making her way into her office she continued to look over the forms from the Department of Mysteries while she settled into her chair. For some reason they were still under the impression that she had a time turner. Shaking her head she put the papers off to the side and started to sort through her mail, noticing a small package on underneath them she decided to open it last. Using her wand she cut the seals of the package, "Olivia! Who delivered this package?"
Olivia came into the room and shook her head, "I'm not sure Ms. Granger, it was there when I brought in your mail."
Picking up the small note within the package she spared Olivia a worried glace she unfolded it;
Dove,
I wanted to wish you a happy birthday and I could think of no better way to do that then to send you a token of my affection.
I'll see you soon.
- A.D
Setting down the note she carefully unwrapped the contents of the package with shaky hands and shot out of her seat, immediately sending off her patronus to Harry. It didn't take long for him to arrive with Ron in tow. Olivia guided them into the office where they found Hermione standing as far from her desk as possible, her arms crossed fiddling with her necklace. Seeing them she pointed to her desk with a trembling hand.
Cautiously the pair approached her desk and opened the box.
"Bloody hell!" Ron looked sick.
"Is that..?"
"A heart, yes. There was a note too." She held it out to them still trying to stay as far away from the package as possible.
"A.D.? Who is A.D.?"
Stealing herself as she shivering she answered the red head, "Antonin Dolohov."
Both of them looked at her, Harry with equal amounts of worry and disbelief and Ron with confusion. "What makes you think that Mione?"
"Something Carrow said," she closed her eyes trying to remember his exact wording. "'Oh he'll be so happy you remember him, mudblood. He has a deep affection for you Dolohov does'. At the time it seemed like a backhanded attempt to unnerve me but it makes more sense now."
"Hermione!" Sirius bounded into her office and made his way right to her, "Are you okay?"
"Sirius? What are you doing here?"
"You sent for me," he said pointing to his neck. Shagging in relief she relaxed into his embrace. "What's happened kitten?"
"I got a package from Dolohov," she told him nodding to her desk. "He sent me a heart."
"Mione we need to take the package and the note."
Waving her hand she dismissed them, "Take it, I don't want it near me."
"We're also going to have to put a patrol on you at all time-"
Spinning out of Sirius's embrace she shot them a fiery glare, "Absolutely not Ronald! I am more then capable of taking care of myself."
"Mione, its not about that. Dolohov cleary has an attachment to you and we need to take extra precautions," Harry interjected in a sharp tone.
"Harry, I understand you're worried but you cannot make someone shadow me until you catch him. It could take months!"
"Hermione!" he yelled losing his temper, "you've already been attacked once and Dolohov has been targeting you since 5th year. Do you forget what happened the last time a death eater got their hands on you? I am not taking any chances. That is final!" The moment the words were out Harry regretted them. Hermione looked as though he'd punched her in the gut.
"Mate," Ron sighed shaking his head holding the bridge of his nose.
"Of course I remember," she shot back at him with venom in her voice, "You forget Harry Potter that while you are the beloved Chosen One, I am the who took the most physical damage out of the three of us during that war and still managed to keep you two alive! I am the one who took Dolohov's curse in the Department of Mysteries and almost died! I was the one who Bellatrix tortured and perminently branded! I am the one who was subject to the cruciatus until I almost lost my mind! And I am the one who was subjected to the cruciatus and Dolohov's curse a month and a half ago when I never thought I would ever experience them again! I will never forget. I am stronger then you give me credit for!"
"Kitten," she felt his hand on her shoulder, "They are worried about you. We all are."
"Hermione, you have always been the one who saved us and looked out for everyone else no matter what happened to you in the process. I would have never survived the war without you, neither of us would have," he pointed between himself and Ron, who nodded ardently at his friends words. "You are the best of us and I need to protect you because I owe you everything."
She stared at him for a while as she calmed down before walking up to him she put her hands on his face looking deep into his eyes before nodding, "Fine, but only one and only during the work day. When I am at home I have Sirius or I'll be at the Burrow."
Wrapping her into a hug he pressed his face into her hair, "You have to promise not to go anywhere on your own!"
"I promise to do my best not to go anywhere alone. Now please get this thing away from me."
Harry chuckled as he released her before casting a stasis charm on the package and levitating it out the room ahead of him, "No where alone," he threw back over his shoulder on his way out.
Ron gave her a stiff half hug. "Constant vigilance, Mione," he smirked on his way out.
Closing the door behind them she thumped her head against the door. "Why me?" she mumbled.
"Kitten, I'm taking you home."
Turning to face him she shook her head, "No I have work I need to do and I really can't get behind."
"Are you telling me you aren't already ahead on your work?"
"I am but I took a half day yesterday and I just really am not ready to go home yet."
"Fine but I'm your security detail for the rest of the week, you might as well send a note to Harry and let him know that way he doesn't send an auror over." Before she could respond he shifted into his animagus form and padded over to her, nudging her with his muzzle before trotting over to her desk and laying underneath it. With a laugh she sent a memo to Harry before turning to her work.
Hours later Harry had lunch for the two of them delivered with a note giving her an update saying they couldn't get anything off the package or Dolohov's note. She'd read the note aloud for Sirius but when she told him about lunch all he did was put a paw on her skirt and wait. Giving him a careful look she set his food down for him and took his muzzle in her hand, giving him a light kiss on the nose before letting him turn to his food.
Her work was mostly done when she picked back up the paperwork from the Department of Mysteries. Reading them over completely they signed them officially stating that she was no longer in the possession of a time turner and hadn't been since her 3rd year.
"Olivia!"
"Yes, Ms. Granger. Oh you have a dog!"
"I guess so. He's harmless-," Sirius growled under the desk, "He's harmless to you. Can you send take these back to the Department of Mysteries for me? Then you are free to go home."
"Yes, ma'am. You actually have an unexpected visitor."
"Who is it?"
"Draco Malfoy. He said its not urgent."
"You can let him in. Thank you Olivia, have a good night." Sirius nudged her hand in question as she left the room. "I don't know love."
"Granger."
Standing up she greeted him, "Malfoy, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Sitting down she motioned him to take the one opposite her desk.
"My mother is having a hallows eve ball and she wished for me to extend an invite to you. I've already seen Potter and Weasel." Putting his hand in his cloak he extracted a silver envelope and handed it to her.
"Oh, thank you Malfoy-"
"Please call me Draco," a small blush creeping into his face as he did so. Sirius noticed it and Hermione felt him rumble on her feet.
"Thank you Draco. I'll send a reply to your mother as soon as I check my schedule."
"Of course," standing he straightened his cloak, "Have a good evening Granger."
"Hermione."
"Have a good evening Hermione," he bowed slightly as he left the room. As soon as he was out of sight Sirius left his spot under the table and trotted over to the door, closing it with a bump of his hip before shifting again.
"What was that about?"
"It seems we've been invited to a ball by the Malfoy's," she countered as she stood up and wrapped her cloak around her.
"You were invited. There is more there, I could smell his arousal. Plus why would my cousins randomly invite you to a ball after all these years, Narcissa hosts them annually."
"Are you saying your not going to be my escort?" she grinned at him. "The boutique that just opened in Diagon Alley is hers. She spent the afternoon with Ginny and I yesterday helping me pick out my dress and my...other purchases. Malfoy came in the dressing room at the wrong time. He approached us after we left and asked if I was really with you. When I told him so he left, that was it."
"I am definitely escorting you to that ball! That boy wants in your knickers."
"Well that's not going to happen," she dismissed reaching up to give him a kiss before pulling him from the room. "Let go home."
