A/N: Thanks for all the lovely reviews. And for those of you that don't know, the next chapter is up for What A Malfoy Wants. ; )
Chapter 34
Just as she suspected, Sirius was trouble. She liked the man immensely but she was rather put out by his sly glances and carefully worded innuendoes.
He was getting bolder as the weeks went by. He cornered her in the library one night that Draco was out with Professor Snape.
"You know," he said conversationally as he leaned over the divan that she was sitting on to look over her shoulder at the book she was reading. It was on dark magic, more specifically, it involved the resurrection of the dead. She hadn't given up on her hunt for a way to save Harry. She would save him. She wouldn't fail him. She wouldn't allow him to sacrifice his life to be rid of Voldemort. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye. He was awfully close. So close that she could see the pulse in his neck where his artery was pumping his blood around his body. She stiffened slightly as he leaned closer. "You needn't venture into muggle London to sate your hunger, Princess. I'm right here. And I can tell you that I'm very much willing."
He waggled his eyebrows and flashed her a mischievous smirk. Hermione repressed the urge to roll her eyes at his theatrics. Instead, she closed her book and rose from the settee gracefully. She was getting much better at controlling her new body. "Thank you, Sirius. But that isn't necessary," she said sweetly. "Harry has already volunteered for that job."
She circled him slowly, predatorily. She wanted to scare some sense into the man. She knew that his heart was in the right place. She knew that he offered because he wanted her but also because he was scared that Death Eater's would capture her when she left the house to hunt. It touched her that he cared but he had to watch himself. She'd kept his behavior from Draco. It just wouldn't do for her mate to find out that his cousin was actively pursuing her. Family or not, she didn't think that Draco would be very accommodating of another man encroaching on what he felt was his.
"He did?" he asked. She watched his throat constrict as he swallowed.
"Hmmm…yes he did," she answered airily as she moved closer and inhaled. He did smell good. She imagined that he would taste even better. But she wouldn't feed on Harry's Godfather. It wasn't right and she was worried what might happen after. She would stick to hunting with Draco. He could satisfy her urges after she sated her hunger. But she didn't want Sirius to know that. She wanted to scare him off.
She let her fangs slide into place and she smiled sinisterly. "I turned him down though. Harry is like my brother. My family. But you…" she trailed off as she stepped closer. "You aren't related to me in any way."
She watched as his eyes dipped to her cleavage. She almost felt dirty but she pressed on. "It's almost a shame, Sirius, but I find that I like the thrill of the hunt. I like prowling after my prey. You are much too easy to satisfy that need Sirius."
She tried to step away but his hands gripped her wrists tightly. "Hermione, please," he whispered. "I haven't known this kind of want in years. Please, I'm begging."
She wanted to pull herself free from his grasp. She hadn't scared him at all. Merlin, she'd turned the man on. That wasn't supposed to happen. He was supposed to run the other way once he'd really glimpsed what she was. Maybe all those years in Azkaban really did ruin his mind. Maybe he was just a closet deviant. Whatever the case was, this wasn't going as she planned.
"Sirius," she pleaded. "Let me go. If Draco…"
"Draco doesn't have to know," he interrupted. He backed her into a corner. She knew that he was no match for her strength. She could easily knock him down and get away but she didn't want to hurt him. Harry would never forgive her. She wouldn't be able to forgive herself.
"Sirius," she caught his eye. She was going to have to glamour him out of this.
"Oh no you don't," he insisted as he closed his eyes and slammed his mouth onto hers. She cursed as she tasted blood. The idiot had bitten his lip in a gamble to incite her into a frenzy. It would have worked too, if it wasn't for the loud growl that rang through the room jolting her back to her senses.
"What in the name of Merlin is going on here?" Draco stood in the doorway with Snape just behind him.
And he was pissed.
End note: Ahh, feels so good to leave a good cliffy. Oh, how I've missed you so. That said, leave me some reviews. They make great presents and since my birthday was yesterday... : ) I'll see you Tuesday.
