The Golden Trio and Ginny had found themselves in the Common Room celebrating with the rest of Gryffindor. Harry had caught the snitch mere moments before Malfoy, giving Gryffindor the victory. Hermione draped her arms around her two best friends, "Boys, I'm really proud of the both of you! And you too Gin." Ginny laughed, "Malfoy's face was a picture when you grabbed the snitch from right under his nose."
They continued talking about the match while sipping Butter beers that had been stolen from the kitchen. However, as the night went on, Hermione began to feel ill again. "I'm going to go to bed. Great job again on the match!" She smiled and left the Common Room, making her way towards her Dormitory. She felt exhausted, and her back was killing her. Once she was in her room, she took an Aches and Pains potion. Hopefully it'll help. Hermione closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep.
She woke up the next morning, sick to her stomach. And her head was still pounding. She heard Ernie knocking on the bathroom door, "Hermione, do you need me to get someone? You've been in there for a while." "No, I'm fine, really." He sighed, "It really doesn't sound like it." She heard him walk away.
Hermione left the bathroom about an hour later. She felt much better. Ernie sat up from his position on the couch, "Are you okay?" She nodded. "I'll be fine to do our rounds tonight." He nodded, before returning to his book.
Hermione walked out of their Dormitory and towards the Lake. Ernie was a nice roommate. He was usually quiet, but he was really intelligent, coming in a close second behind Hermione. She liked being able to have an intelligent conversation with him. She hadn't spoken to Ernie much during their years at Hogwarts, but they spent a lot of time together now that they were Prefects.
Once she was at the Lake, she sat down on the grass. She closed her eyes and let the cool breeze wash over her. She had a flashback to one of her moments with Sirius.
"Sirius, I am not getting on that thing." Hermione stamped her foot in defiance.
Sirius just laughed, "Of course you are love, so let's go."
Hermione stood still. "It's dangerous. I'm not getting on that contraption." Sirius just laughed even harder. He walked over to Hermione and picked her up, "Let's go." She started squirming trying to get out of his arms. He just held her even tighter. Sirius walked over to his motorbike and sat her on it. She tried getting off but he held her firmly in place.
"Come on Mione, it's time to face your fears." She gulped, knowing he was right. She hated flying, which is why he thought a good date would be going somewhere on the bike.
"I'm scared," she whispered. "I know," he replied, "I won't let you fall. Trust me." She nodded. Sirius climbed on the bike and sat in front of her. "Hold on tight, got it?" She nodded and then placed her arms around his waist firmly. She heard the bike roar to life underneath her. She began to panic. But before she could protest, Sirius took off, bringing them up into the sky.
Hermione closed her eyes in fear. Sirius turned around to see her with her eyes clamped shut. "Mione, open your eyes." She shook her head. "Come on, I brought you up here for the view. Now look at it." Slowly, she opened her eyes. They widened in awe.
Beneath them was the most beautiful sunset she had ever seen. The sky was a mixture of pinks, yellows, and oranges. "It's beautiful. Thank you Sirius." She hugged him. He smiled, "I'm glad you like it. The sky is beautiful. It makes me feel free being up here, you know?" She nodded. Being up here with him, she understood. This was his personal heaven and he was sharing it with her.
He landed the bike in a small secluded meadow. He jumped off then picked her up and placed her on the ground. Hermione looked up to him, smiling. "That was amazing Sirius. Thank you." He smiled, "I'd do anything for you Mione. I love you." Hermione looked at Sirius, not believing what she had just heard. "You do, really?" He nodded, before pulling her in close. "It's okay if you don't feel the same; I just needed to tell you." She pulled away and slapped him, "Sirius, you arse, I love you too." She got up on her tip toes and kissed him.
Hermione had tears in her eyes. Sirius had told her he loved her in that meadow. It was a magical moment she would always remember. They had gone back to that spot many times. She missed him dearly. She still felt hollow, just not as much as the first days after he had gone. She took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
She heard someone approaching and turned to see Harry. He sat down next to her and rested his head on her shoulder.
"I miss him too," Harry sighed. She could tell he was crying. Hermione simply nodded, not trusting her voice.
The two of them sat for a moment before Hermione spoke, "I'm sorry we never told you."
Harry shook his head, "Don't be. I know why you two did what you did. I just wish..."
Hermione sniffled, her tears had started again. "There are a lot of things I wish Harry. But there is nothing we can do. It's better to not dwell on these things."
Hermione broke out into a sob. Harry rubbed her back comfortingly.
"I dream about him, every night. We're together, and we're happy. And I just… It's so hard, waking up each morning, realizing we'll never see each other again."
Harry pulled her close, "Shhh, Mione. Life will get better as we take it a day at a time. I promise." She nodded.
"It won't change how I feel. Nothing will take away the love I have for him."
He nodded, knowing that Hermione would be fine in the end, they both would.
Hermione stood up, "Come on Harry, we don't want to be late for Potions." The two of them made their way down to the Dungeons where Ron was already waiting for them. They were going to be making a potion, and Professor Slughorn was pairing them up. Hermione was paired with Ron, while Harry was with Neville.
Hermione groaned. She loved Ron; he was her best friend, but if she was being honest, he wasn't very smart. Hermione knew she'd be the one doing all the work. Ron walked over smiling, "Hey Mione! I'm so glad we're partners. So what are we making?"
Hermione sighed, "Professor Slughorn assigned Amortentia, but I don't see why. It's a dangerous potion to make, especially if brewed incorrectly." Hermione opened her book to find the ingredients. She sent Ron off to retrieve them.
Hermione brewed the potion, while giving Ron the simple tasks. Towards the end of the lesson, their potion was perfect. It had turned the beautiful mother-of-pearl sheen color with spiraling steam rising from it. Hermione beamed with pride. Professor Slughorn came over, he was very impressed.
"Well done Ms. Granger and Mr. Weasley." They both smiled, glad to have done so well. Hermione smelled the aroma and her smile faltered. It smelled like leather and something musty. She burst into tears and ran from the room. It smelt like Sirius, it was almost as if he was alive…no Hermione. You can't think such thoughts. She ran into the bathroom, letting her tears fall.
She left the bathroom and went to the Great Hall, knowing that was where her friends would be. She sat down at the table and felt everyone staring at her. "Look, you all know what happened. And I'm fine really. So don't ask." They all nodded, understanding.
Ginny turned to her, "Ernie said you were sick this morning? Are you alright?" Hermione nodded, "Yeah, it passed. It must have been all the sugar I consumed last night." She laughed. Ginny nodded.
Hermione met up with Ernie and the two of them did their rounds. Exhausted, Hermione made her way up to her room where she fell asleep, ready to see Sirius in her dreams.
