Chapter 5
Hermione followed Sirius towards the study. It seemed with every step she took, her heart felt heavier and heavier. Vaguely, she could hear Ginny's laugh and Eridanus' squeal, but she didn't pay much attention. No, her attention was captured by the dark haired wizard in front of her.
Once they reached the door to the study, they paused. Hermione cast him a glance. "You know, the wards on the room were really impressive. Even Kingsley couldn't bring them down."
Sirius smirked at that. "Of course they wouldn't have been able to bring the wards down. Only a Black could remove them."
Hermione gave a small nod. Blood magic was really impressive, and even more impressive that Sirius seemed knowledgeable about it. A thought popped into her head. "Could Draco Malfoy have opened it?"
Sirius paused his wand movements for a moment. "I suppose so. It would be difficult for him. Narcissa might have an easier time since she's related more closely." A small smile appeared on his face. "When Eridanus is older, he'll be able to lower the wards so easily, because he's a pure Black."
Hermione frowned. "He's not a pure Black," she said, her eyes cast downwards.
Sirius turned to face her. "Hermione?" he said gently, tipping her face upwards. "You are the most pure person I know."
Hermione made a face of disbelief.
"No, really Hermione. You are the most loving and wonderful person, and I couldn't imagine a better person to have carried my baby. I don't care what anyone says, you're perfect."
"But I'm Muggleborn, Sirius, not Pureblooded. I've tainted your family line," she protested.
He smiled at her before leaning down brushing his lips against hers gently. Pulling back, he tugged a curl behind her ear. "I don't care about any of that Hermione, I thought you knew that."
"I know Sirius, I just didn't know if you'd change your mind now that Eridanus is actually here."
"Come on, let's finish this conversation inside," Sirius said. He quickly lowered the rest of the wards and opened the door.
Hermione followed him inside, sitting down on the couch.
Sirius sat down closely to her, their legs almost touching. He flicked his wand towards the fire place, a fire erupting in the empty grate. The crackle filled the room, breaking the awkward silence. The shadows from the flames danced along the walls, chasing each other back and forth.
"Hermione, I can sense your doubt," Sirius began.
She flushed. "Of course I am Sirius! I am beyond excited that you are here right now, physically with me. But I can't shake the feeling that this is just too good to be true. I'm going to open my eyes and you'll be gone! And then I'll be all alone again." The tears formed in her eyes and spilled over before she could stop them. They ran down her cheeks, leaving a trail behind them.
Sirius reached over, brushing the tears away. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm here Hermione, and I'm not going to leave you ever again." He cupped her face in his hands. "I'm not going anywhere, I swear."
"I was alone for so long! Sirius you have no idea how that felt for me. There are days where I wished I had died, instead of you! The grief consumed me, tearing me apart. If it wasn't for Eridanus, I don't know what I would have done."
"I know Hermione, and I am so happy that you're here. And that we're together again. Please, I can't say I understand what you went through, because literally no time has passed for me. But we're together now, and that's all that matters," Sirius reassured her, giving her another kiss.
Hermione was honestly afraid. She had given herself to Sirius completely before and he had left her. Not purposefully of course, but he had left her alone. And she really didn't know if she could take that pain again.
"Hermione, I love you."
Her eyes flicked upwards and met his.
"I love you," he repeated.
She was quiet.
"I love you more than anything. Hermione, if I have to wait months before you're ready to be with me, then so be it," Sirius said.
The resolution in his voice was astounding. Hermione's heart clenched at the sincerity of it all. "I love you too," she whispered. "I'm just so afraid Sirius."
"I know, love, but I'm here now. And we'll move forward together, okay?"
Hermione gave a short nod. "Please don't leave me Sirius."
"I won't. I swear to you Hermione, I know I've missed out on everything, but I won't anymore. I'm here now, and nothing in the world could move me from your side."
Hermione moved closer to Sirius, snuggling up to his body. "I need you, so much that it frightens me. I've always been so independent, but now, I find it hard to function alone."
"You have more responsibilities now Hermione, it's completely understandable. Everyone needs someone Hermione, its okay to feel this way." Sirius hated seeing her so vulnerable.
"Without Harry and Ginny, I would have been so lost. They've been such a huge help with raising Eridanus. Ron, Lavender, Luna, Remus, all of them. They've helped me so much."
"I'm glad they could be there for you when I couldn't."
Hermione looked towards him. "But you're right, Sirius, you're here now, and that's all that matters. We'll be a family."
Sirius smiled at her. "That's all I could ever want Hermione. To have a family with you. To be with you. To love you."
"Me too," she replied. Reaching down, she gave his hand a tight squeeze. Looking up, she brushed her lips against his. A small shiver traveled up her spine at the sensation. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him closer. Their lips met again, more aggressively this time. She tugged at his hair, bringing his head even closer.
Sirius shifted her so she was now straddling him. He cupped her cheek, continuing the kiss. It was sweet and so full of love.
A knock sounded on the door.
The two of them broke apart. Hermione grumbled. "I guess this will just have to wait."
Sirius reached up and kissed her lightly. "We have all of forever, okay?"
"Okay," Hermione said with a nod. She stood up, straightening her clothes.
Sirius stood and held his hand out.
Hermione grabbed his hand, the two of them walking towards the door. Opening it revealed Ginny.
"Sorry to bug you too, but I just wanted you to know I've put Eridanus to bed," Ginny explained.
Hermione nodded. "Thanks Ginny." She turned to Sirius. "I'm just going to check on him and then go to bed. Today's been rather chaotic."
"I'll come with you," Sirius said almost immediately.
Ginny smiled at them before disappearing down the hall to her and Harry's bedroom. "How are they?" Harry asked once his wife opened the door.
She nodded, smiling. "I think they'll be just fine."
"Good, Hermione deserves a bit of happiness in her life," Harry said as his wife crawled into bed.
Ginny nodded. "I'm still in shock she was able to bring him back."
"Hermione's a smart girl, I didn't doubt it for a moment."
Ginny stuck her tongue out at her husband.
"I love you Ginny," Harry said before leaning forward to kiss her passionately.
Hermione pressed open the door to Eridanus' room. She tip toed inside, Sirius following close behind. Peering into the crib, she smiled when she saw Eridanus lying on his back. Leaning down, she brushed his hair to the side. He let out a small snore.
Sirius put his arms around Hermione's waist, kissing her shoulder. "He's perfect," he stated, looking down at his sleeping son.
"Mhmm," Hermione responded. She bent down, pressing a kiss to Eri's hand. "Night baby," she whispered. Taking Sirius' hand, she led him towards her, well, his, bedroom.
She excused herself, slipping into the bathroom to change.
Sirius walked over to his bureau, surprised to see all his clothes were still inside. He guessed Hermione didn't have the heart to throw them out. He crinkled his nose, realizing he needed to shower.
Hermione walked into the room moments later wearing shorts and one of Sirius old Gryffindor shorts. She gave him a short smile.
"I'm going to shower," he said, holding up the bundle of clean clothes. Hermione nodded, leaning forward to give us a quick kiss.
Sirius disappeared through the doorway, leaving Hermione alone. Stifling a yawn, she climbed into bed. She'd wait up for Sirius, and then they could hopefully continue what they started earlier.
When Sirius finished showering, he gave himself a haircut and shaved. His hair was still shoulder length, but it wasn't as bad a tangled mess. Changing into the clean clothes, he inhaled deeply. Clean. He smelled clean.
A smile on his face, he walked down the hall towards his room. Pushing open the door, he stepped inside. Looking around the room, his eyes landed on the bed, where Hermione was curled up snoring. Smiling at her sleeping figure, he crawled over towards the bed. Lifting the covers, he slipped under.
"I love you," Sirius whispered to Hermione. He leaned over and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
He got comfortable, wrapping his arms around her body. He was sleeping with the woman he loved, while his son slept next door. Sirius had never imagined his life would take this turn of events, but was so grateful it did.
He closed his eyes, the sound of Hermione's steady breaths lulling him to sleep.
