Hermione entered the room, slamming the door shut behind her. Pulling out her wand, she warded the door, not wanting anyone to disturb her. Her feet carried her over to the bed, and she collapsed onto it. Clutching the pillow, she inhaled. The room still vaguely smelt like him. She cried, her tears staining his pillow. This wasn't fair. Life wasn't fair. She cried, until she eventually fell asleep.
Looking up, Hermione saw him again. She knew it wasn't right to be dreaming like this, and it would come back to bite her on the ass, but frankly, she didn't care. He was standing there before her, staring out the window. His hands were clasped behind his back. Smiling, she stared at the love of her life.
She got off the bed, and made her way towards him. She placed her hand on his shoulder, burying her face in his back. "Sirius," she sighed. "I can't do this." She broke down, crying. He turned around, scooped her up and carried her back to the bed.
"Hermione, you can and you will. You have to be strong, for me, for your friends, and for Eridanus."
She shook her head, "I can't do this without you Siri." He chuckled at the use of his nickname.
"Hermione," he cupped her face in his hands. "You can do this; you've been doing so well so far. Things will work out; I promise you that they will. Trust me Hermione, please."
She linked her fingers through his. "I'm glad you're here. These, hallucinations, or whatever they are, I'm glad that I'm having them."
Sirius pulled away slightly. "Hermione, this is real. You're sleeping, but this, this is real. I'm trapped in this nothingness, but I hear your voice, every now and then. It's unreal." He kissed her forehead. "You're the most beautiful thing I have ever laid my eyes upon."
Hermione was confused. "What do you mean this is real? Are you still alive?" She practically shouted. Sirius shook his head. "I don't think so, I don't know. The properties of the veil are unknown to anyone. I feel like I am trapped in limbo. I can connect with you, yet everyone is here. My brother, James, Lily. They are here with me. I think its because I can't let go of you, or our son. I just don't know. You're the know-it-all love; work it out." He kissed her firmly on the lips before disappearing.
Hermione awoke with a start. The tears started falling once more.
Molly slammed her hand down on the table. "She should be excluded from the Order. She obviously isn't smart enough to take care of herself. What makes you think she can protect the others?" She was furious.
Remus growled, "Hermione is far more responsible than half of the people in this room and you know it. Don't you dare slander her reputation."
"Her reputation? Ha. My family was trying to save her reputation. And she threw it back in our face. How dare she act like this!" Molly replied, her temper getting the better of her.
The rest of the Order watched silently as they argued back and forth. Harry and Ron were kicked out of the room the moment Hermione fled in tears.
Remus snarled, the werewolf in him evident. "So that's what this is about?"
"Damn right this is what it's about! Ronald asked her to marry him; he offered her a way out of this mess. And she said no! I don't know how she has the nerve."
Remus glared at her. "Ron won't be Hermione's husband or Eridanus' father. Nothing you or anyone else can say will change that."
"Then the child will be a bastard. So be it."
Remus slammed both his hands down on the table. "How dare you say that! I will care for Hermione and the child. I may not be Sirius, but I will look after my godson and Hermione. IF YOU EVER SAY ONE BAD THING ABOUT HER AGAIN, YOU. WILL. REGRET. IT." He ground out the last four words through gritted teeth.
At this, Dumbledore finally stood, intervening. "Enough. Remus, go and see Hermione. You know where she is. Molly, you will never speak about her that way again. If you do, you shall be removed from the Order."
Everyone's mouths opened in shock. Holding her head high, Molly exited the room. Dumbledore turned back to face the Order, dismissing everyone. They were finished for the day.
Harry and Ron were sitting in the living room. Ron turned to Harry, "Blimey, can you hear my Mum going on?"
Harry paled, "Yeah, and I don't think it's a good thing. It sounds like she's tearing Hermione apart."
Ron's cheeks turned red. "She's just mad Hermione and I didn't end up together. I mean, we all just figured she'd be alright about it. Who knows, we might end up together down the line at some point."
Harry screwed his face up, staring at his friend in disbelief. "I'm pretty sure Hermione won't fall in love with you, no offense."
Ron's eyes narrowed. "How can you be so sure?"
Harry rolled his eyes, "Because you're not Sirius, simple as that." Ron was seriously pissing him off right now. Did he really think Hermione would just forget about Sirius and marry Ron? His friend was so thick headed at times. Then he recalled something Ron had said. "Ron, what did you mean by we figured she'd be alright about it?"
Ron snorted, "Oh, my mum thought she'd be good for giving her a lot of grandchildren."
At that, Harry stated, "Hermione wouldn't just sit at home and pop babies out for you Ron. She isn't like that."
Ron sneered, "Well, apparently because she's seventeen she'll be popping one out soon enough."
Harry stood up, "Seriously, what's your problem? I know you love her, but let it go. It seriously isn't going to happen. So back off!"
Ron stood as well. "You can't tell me you don't feel the same way. You're mad she slept with your godfather. Someone who was friends with your parents. It's twisted, why can't you see that?"
Harry was fuming, and before he knew what he was doing, he lunged at Ron, punching him in the face. "You're being a real git, do you know that? Sure, Hermione fell in love with someone older than her. I don't care. I love her and Sirius, and nothing will ever change that. I'm disgusted that you would bring that up to start an argument." Harry turned around and walked away. What the bloody hell was wrong with the Weasley's today…
Remus knocked on the door. No answer. "Hermione, please let me in." Silence. "Hermione." Silence. "Hermione, please let me in. You know I can't get through your wards. Please." At this, the door was un-warded, allowing Remus to enter.
He saw her staring out the window and came up behind her, wrapping her in his arms. Hermione sighed, enjoying the comfort. She turned around and started crying. Remus held her close, as she cried. When she finally stopped crying, she wiped her eyes. "Thank you," she muttered. "I'm sorry for the mess I've made."
Remus chuckled. "Never apologize for that. Besides, it was nice to get all that anger off my chest." He knelt down in front of her, taking her hands in his. "I told you I'd keep you safe, I promise."
