‘I’ve seen that look before, but it’s never been directed towards me.’ She thought as the fireworks light up the night sky. They were celebrating the death of Voldemort and Sirius’ return once again. They were standing behind the Burrow, the usual clan present; the Weasley’s, Harry, Remus, Tonks, Sirius, Hermione, and Kingsley, just to name a few. Hermione had arrived a little later than everyone else, having spent hours upon hours trying to control her hair, and was currently standing alone watching everyone interact with each other.
She was mainly watching Sirius. He had returned from the veil the day of the final battle. No one knew how, or why. He was found shortly after Harry defeated Voldemort, right in front of the Veil looking just the way he did the day he fell. He had no recollection of how long he was in there. He spent weeks in St. Mungo’s with Healers poking and prodding him, asking him questions about the Veil. Finally, he was released. From that day on, he spent his time making up for the years she spent in Azkaban and behind the Veil. He spent his time at pubs, bringing witches home at many hours of the night.
Hermione had seen him give those witches that look, but he never gave her that look. Until now. She’d been waiting to see if he would ever see her as more than Harry’s best friend. She’d wished on stars, like some young Muggle girl, but finally her dreams were coming true. He was noticing her. ‘About bloody time.’ She thought to herself with a small smile.
“What’s so funny, Mione?” someone whispered in her ear. That voice could make her knees go weak every time she heard it.
Gathering her wits about her, she turned around and looked into his eyes. “N-Nothing, Sirius.” She said with a small hitch in her breath. She was so deep in her thoughts; she didn’t even notice him walk over.
“You know, Mione,” he said taking a step closer to her, “I never really thanked you for taking care of Harry all these years. I believe without you, killing Voldemort would have been much harder for Harry.”Hermione locked eyes with the Animagus and blushed.
“You don’t have to thank me Sirius. There’s no need for that,” she said while forcing her eyes to stay locked with his.
Sirius chuckled, causing Hermione’s blush to grow deeper. “Well,” he said taking yet another step closer towards her, effectively backing her against the snack table, “I just wanted to thank you anyway.” He reached out and tucked a few of her curls behind her ear and winked, causing Hermione’s breath to hitch. He then placed his hand on her cheek, and at that moment, a new round of Weasley fireworks exploded, causing Hermione’s face to light up.
Sirius slowly leaned down, gently rubbing Hermione’s cheek with his thumb. "Hermione," He murmured before his lips caught hers. Their lips moved together for a few moments before Hermione felt his tongue lightly graze her bottom lip. Immediately gaining access, Sirius slid his tongue into her mouth, gently caressing her tongue with his causing her to moan. After a few moments of this, Sirius slowly pulled back, causing Hermione to whimper. Sirius liked into her eyes, his forehead on hers, and smiled. Hermione was slightly out of breath, her breasts rising and falling with every breath.
"Do you know how long I've wanted to do that?" Sirius asked with a smile.
"Why didn't you?" Hermione replied still out of breath.
Without answering, Sirius once again captured her lips with his.
*********************HGSB*********************
Sirius and Ginny spent two weeks looking for Hermione and Orion day and night with no luck. Ginny, frustrated with Hermione for being selfish beyond belief, decided that if it was space Hermione needed, then it was space she would give her. Sirius on the other hand, continued to look for them. Ginny tried to dissuade him saying, "She’ll come around when she's ready." Sirius ignored her, not to be discouraged from finding Hermione and his son.
On the third week after her disappearance, Sirius began to become discouraged. Slowly sinking into depression, he began to revert to being how he was when she first left four years ago. Drinking all night and sleeping all day, getting into fights, and bringing home a different witch every night.
One night, after a particularly nasty drinking binge, Sirius passed out on his bed. In the middle of the night he felt his bed dip down. Rolling his head to the side, he peeked one eye open and smiled; Hermione was kneeling beside him, smiling softly at him and gently stroking his head. Still in his sleep, he turned his body towards her letting her snuggle into his warm embrace. He could smell her vanilla scented shampoo and smiled, He was in heaven, and this was how life was supposed to be.
He awoke the next morning clutching his pillow. When reality hit him that the previous night was only a dream, he buried his face in his pillow and cried.
*********************SBHG*********************
“Mummy?” Orion asked as Hermione tied his shoelaces.
“Yes, Sweetie?” she asked knowing what was about to be said.
“Mummy, may we please go back home to Nana and Papa? I miss them, and Auntie Ginny too.” He asked averting Hermione’s eyes by looking at his newly tied shoes. He had been asking Hermione to go back home for the past two weeks, and every time he asked, she responded negatively.
Hermione looked at the little boy in front of her; she could see the pain she was causing him. He was the last person she wanted to hurt, and yet she was hurting him more and more each day. ‘What am I doing?’ she thought to herself. ‘This is my child; I’m not supposed to hurt him. I'm supposed to give him everything he wants and needs in this world.’
“Ok,” she sighed. “Go pack your-.” She was cut off when her son threw his arms around her neck in a tight hug. All she could do was smile and hug him back. She could feel his happiness almost as much as she could see it in his face when he pulled away from her. She watched as he ran from her to pack his toys, thinking about all the explaining that she was going to have to do in a few hours time.
“Merlin, help me,” she whispered as she stood to help her son pack.
*********************SBHG*********************
When Hermione entered her parents’ house carrying a sleeping Orion, she was almost immediately ambushed by a flash of red.
“HERMIONE JEAN GRANGER!!!! Where have you been?” Ginny cried when she pulled away from Hermione.
Before she could answer, there was a gasp from the living room door. Looking up, Hermione’s eyes focused on her parents. She could see all the hurt she had caused them. Seeing the pain on her parents and Ginny’s faces, her heart clenched. She never meant to hurt anyone; she just didn’t want to be hurt. Her whole life had come crashing down that night at the Valentine’s Day Ball. If she had just stayed home like she planned, then none of this would be happening.
“I know I have a lot of explaining to do, and I will. Just let me put Orion down, and I’ll explain everything.” Hermione said taking a step towards the stairs. Before she made it to the bottom step, though, she was stopped by a voice.
“Damn right you’re going to explain.”
That voice, which had crept into her dreams every night, stopped her mid-step. Turning slowly, Hermione let her eyes fall onto the man that the voice came from.
“Sirius? What are you doing here?” Hermione asked rooted to the spot she stood in.
Sirius laughed, causing everyone to jump. “‘Why am I here?’ she asks.” He said darkly. He took three long strides, and he found himself in front of her. He was so close that she could see herself in his eyes. “I’m here because I found out, not four weeks ago, that I have a four year old son. I’m here because I was worried about you.” He wasn’t yelling, but his voice was so deadly calm that Hermione would have preferred him yelling.
“Sirius,” she whispered. “Plea-”
“Please what Hermione?” he was yelling now, his nostrils flaring with every breath he took. “What fucking more could you possibly want? I gave you everything and more, and you just left. You took my son away from me and didn’t have the decency to let me know he existed. No. there is nothing more that I can give you.”
Hermione’s eyes were filled with unshed tears. She had never meant to cause anyone this much pain, but she had.
Sirius sighed. “You have broken me. I have nothing left to give you.” He said before he turned and walked out of the house. Hermione stared at the door he just left out of as she felt the tears begin to slide down her cheeks. After a few seconds, she felt a small hand touch her cheek, wiping away her tears. She looked down and saw that Orion was awake and crying too.
“Mummy, it’s okay. I love you.” He whispered trying to comfort his mother.
Hermione couldn’t take standing there anymore, she needed to move. She turned once again and finished the journey upstairs. Instead of walking into Orion’s room, she carried him to hers and sat him on the bed. She rummaged in her side table for a moment before pulling out her wand. And with a flick of her wrist, her door was locked and warded. Climbing into her bed, she pulled Orion to her. He quickly snuggled into her embrace, and within minutes he was asleep. Hermione watched him for a while, memorizing everything about him. He was truly Sirius’ son, nobody could ever change that. Looking at the clock and realizing that she had been lying there for longer than she initially thought, for it was now well after midnight, Hermione made up her mind. Carefully climbing out of her bed as to not disturb her slumbering son, she walked downstairs. She found her parents in the kitchen drinking tea.
“Mum, Dad, I know I just got back, but there’s something that I need to do. I’ll explain everything when I get back, I promise. Would you please watch Orion until I get back?” she asked with tears in her eyes. She had hurt everyone by her little disappearing act, and she was reaping the consequences.
“Of course we will, Hermione.” Her mother replied. She knew what Hermione was going to do, and it was something that needed to be done.
Hermione thanked her parents and quickly left the house. Moments after reaching the nearest Apparition point, she arrived at her destination. Taking a few deep cleansing breaths, she placed her hand on the door knob, and turned it.
