I do not own Harry Potter.

"SIRIUS! Get up! NOW!"

Sirius Black was pissed. Firstly, SHE was ignoring him. They hadn't been able to meet that day due to Severus-friggin'-Snape! Even after arriving at Grimmauld's place, she has been avoiding him like the plague. He desperately wanted to talk to her. But with all the order meetings and repairing, he hardly got an opportunity. Not to forget, Mrs. Weasley's distrustful eyes lingering on him. He had been in Azkaban for 12 years, but he was not a criminal for heavens sake!

He had tried to talk to her but she didn't reply to his knock at her door last night. And now, someone was trying to bang his door down. 'This better be important!' He roughly opened the door.

"WHAT?! Oh! Remus, what's wrong?"

"Hermione is missing!"

"What?"

"Hermione... Harry's best friend..."

"I know her! I meant what are you talking about?"

"She's not in her room and we can't find her anywhere else! Plus, your mother's portrait is gone!"

"What?"

"Gosh Sirius! Stop being dumb! I was saying..."

But Sirius couldn't take in the rest of his words... Hermione missing... His mother's portrait gone... He ran upstairs to her room, Remus Lupin following him...

In the secret room

"Is this..."

"Yes, it is... And I'm giving you full permission to look around and pursue it."

"Are you serious?"

"No, I'm his mother..."

Walburga chuckled while Hermione stood dumbstruck at the sight before her. She was standing in Rowena Ravenclaw's legendary library!

"Rowena had been a close friend to our family. After her death, she left this library to the Black family. Only witches with extraordinary magical ability can enter this sacred haven. This room used to be my only salvation after Sirius had left and Regulus died."

"Oh Mrs. Black! This is... Thank you! I.. I'm speechless..."

"Oh, this sure does bring back memories..."

"Merlin! Are these actually Rowena's potions journals?"

"I believe it is... Though there's nothing much in that one... Only her researching on her lover's projects... It's really dark..."

"Dark?"

"Yes, what else did you expect from Salazar Slytherin, girl? Fluffy bunnies?"

In Hermione's room

"What happened to this room?"

"Well Sirius, looks like Hermione did a great job fixing her room..."

"It wasn't her... Unless... No! That can't be..."

"What..."

"KREACHER!"

There was a loud pop and the elf stood in front of Sirius.

"Where is Hermione? And what happened to my mother's portrait?"

Kreacher seemed to panic more about his mistress than her son!

"Kreacher don't know where the mudblood is. Mistress! Kreacher will go find mistress!"

With that, Kreacher disapparated.

"I'll check the other rooms."

"I'll wait here Remus. I think I have an idea about where she is..."

In Rowena's Library

"What's in that box Walburga?"

"It's a rare ingredient. Potions had never been my forte so I haven't gone through it. It was Rowena's last research before she took ill. I think you'll find her notes in the box."

Hermione opened the box and found a single sheet of parchment and a dozen white rocks.

"Hmmm... This says it's a cure for... Oh Merlin! It can't be!"

"What is it?"

"I have to go... I have to find someone! I'll be back... I promise!"

"I'm sure of that. Just don't tell anyone about this room, though I'm sure no one else will be able to enter..."

The two witches shared a smile and Hermione, holding the box in her hand, reached for the door.

In Hermione's room

Hermione stumbled into her room and would have fallen flat on her face if not for a pair of strong arms steadying her. She opened her eyes to stare at a pair of deep grey eyes staring back.

"Hermione..."

"Sirius... I..."

"I was so worried... Where were you?"

"I can't talk Sirius... I have to talk to Professor Snape..."

"What? I..."

Hermione walked out the door, shutting it behind her. Sirius was disappointed. He felt really down and walked towards the door, wondering whether it's too early for getting drunk. He wanted to shout "Sod it all" and get out of this hell hole of a house.

Suddenly the door flung open and his face was attacked by... soft brown hair?

Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck and her lips were on his within seconds. It took a moment for Sirius to realize what was happening and he kissed her back with more fervor. After what felt like ages their lips tore apart. Hermione kissed his cheek and brought her lips near his ear.

"Meet me in this room tonight..."

"When?"

"Midnight of course..."

With that, Hermoine left a grinning Sirius in her room...

A/N: I'm not that evil... I told you they would meet...Plllllllllllleeeeeaaaassssseeeeee Review...
