Chapter 7
Hermione woke up in an incredibly good mood that morning. She smirked, knowing it probably had to do with the fact that she got laid for the first time in months. Glancing next to her she saw Sirius was still fast asleep, his arm lay draped across her waist.
She watched him sleep for a few moments, staring at him. She watched as his chest moved with every breath he took and how a small snore would escape every so often. Her eyes flicked down to his chapped lips; she wondered how they could be so rough looking, but still feel so incredibly soft.
"What are you doing?" he whispered sleepily.
Her eyes flicked upwards, seeing his grey eyes looking at her.
"I'm staring at you," she whispered, smiling. "I want to memorize every line on your face… every scar, every blemish. I don't want to forget a single detail."
He leaned forward, kissing her passionately. Gripping her hips, he pulled her on top of him so she was now straddling his waist. Hermione smiled, leaning down to kiss him.
"I wish we had more time, so we could do something about this," she said, reaching down and gripping his erection, "But we've got to get ready to go. We've got some doctor's appointments."
Hermione kissed him once more before she attempted to get up.
Sirius, however, had other ideas. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her body close to his. "I don't ever want to let you go," he whispered, his voice sounded hoarse.
"And I'm not going anywhere," Hermione said, squeezing his hand reassuredly. "It's been so long since I've been happy, but now, I have a shot at it again. I won't be going anywhere, I can promise you that."
Sirius looked into her brown eyes, astounded by all the love and emotion he found in them. "I love you," he said, leaning forward to kiss her.
"And I love you," she said, kissing him once more. "But I'm going to get ready, so I'll meet you in the kitchen later."
Hermione went and woke up Eridanus, taking him into the bathroom. He would often sit on the floor of the shower playing with his rubber ducky as she'd wash herself.
Sirius made his way downstairs, surprised to see Remus was already over.
Remus smiled at him. "It's so weird seeing you right now."
"I bet," Sirius said, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
"So, did you have a good time last night?" Harry asked, a smirk on his face.
Sirius narrowed his eyes. "Yes, I did. Why?"
Remus let out a small chuckle.
"Well, I'm happy for the two of you because Merlin knows Hermione needed it, but please, cast a silencing charm of something next time," Harry said, his face turning red.
Remus' chuckle had turned into a full laugh.
"You could hear?" Sirius whispered, mortified.
Harry gave a nod. "Never knew Hermione could be so vocal."
Sirius cast him a glare that told him to shut up.
"But on a more serious note, I have something for you," Harry said, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a small box, putting it on the table.
Sirius' eyes widened. "Where did you find that?"
"In your room one day while trying to clean. I held onto it all this time… hoping to give it to her when the moment was right. But, well, you're back now so I thought I'd just give it back to you."
Sirius took the box, slowly opening it. Inside was a ring. The band was rose-colored gold and the large gem in the center was a diamond. On each side of it were small pearls. It was the ring he was going to give Hermione.
"Harry, I don't know what to say…"
Harry and Remus smiled at their long-lost friend.
"We just want you to be happy," Remus said, patting Sirius on the back.
"Should I ask her to marry me?" he glanced up at the two of them, unsure of what they'd say.
Harry's expression was guarded. "Do you want to marry her?"
"Of course I do… I love her more than anything in the world. I just didn't know if it was too soon, or how she felt." He put his face in his hands. "I don't know how to fix what I've done."
"You've done nothing wrong," Remus said, glancing at him sympathetically.
"But I've hurt her, and although she hasn't said it out loud, I know she's afraid I'll leave her again. But I would never do that… I mean I love her, but I just feel like there's too much damage down."
"That's not true at all, so stop acting like this," Harry snapped at him, his green eyes hardening. "Hermione loves you more than anything in the world. She never stopped loving you, even while you were dead. And after everything, she finally has another chance, so don't you dare fuck this up."
Sirius was taken aback by Harry's outburst. It was moments like this where he realized everyone had changed and grown up. His godson was a man now, and was fiercely protective of his family.
"I won't screw this up," Sirius vowed, both to himself and to Harry.
"You've been given another chance at life, Sirius, don't waste it," Remus said, taking a sip of his tea.
"So shall I propose to her?" he asked, looking between them.
"I think she'd like it," Remus answered honestly. "With everyone else getting married, she'd been feeling a bit left out. Besides, you've gotten her pregnant, it would be the proper thing to do."
Sirius laughed dryly at that. "I've come back from the dead, Remus, there's nothing proper about this relationship at all."
Harry laughed as well. "But seriously, I would ask her. Ginny and I can watch Eridanus and you two can go out."
Hermione appeared a few moments later, holding Eridanus. "Are you ready?" she asked, turning to Sirius.
He walked over, kissing Eridanus and then her. "Yes, let's go."
Harry stood. "Don't forget you need to come to the Ministry later. I know it'll be a pain, but we've got to get it over with at some point."
Sirius nodded. "I'll swing by after we visit Hogwarts."
Hermione stepped into the fireplace, shouting "The Headmaster's office."
Sirius tapped the ring in his pocket. "Right, well, I'll see you gents later. Remus, I think a drink is long overdue."
"Indeed," Remus said, giving him a curt nod.
He followed Hermione into the fireplace, Flooing to Hogwarts.
"Oh, Hermione dear, I was just expecting you," Minerva said, standing up. Albus smiled at her from behind the desk.
"Miss Granger, you look lovely as always," the old man said, standing. He approached her, a smile on his face. "And how is Eridanus tonight?" he asked, making a silly face at the baby.
Eridanus giggled.
The fireplace turned green and Sirius stumbled out.
"Sirius, my boy, how wonderful to see you," Albus said, moving to pull him in for a hug.
"Thanks, sir; it's a pleasure to see you as well."
Albus beamed, that familiar twinkle in his eye.
"Now, Miss Granger, have you given any thought to Minerva's suggestion?" he asked.
Hermione blushed. "I've thought about it, but I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to make a definite choice."
"If it's any consolation, the Messrs Black would be able to move in an as well," he said, a smirk forming on his face.
Hermione blushed when Sirius sent her a quizzical look.
"But speaking of which, Sirius, would you be interesting in teaching Defense? I'm also in need a professor for that class as well."
Sirius bit his lip. The idea was tempting, but he wasn't sure. "Are you sure that's such a good idea?"
"Of course," Minerva interjected. "You've been cleared of all charges, Sirius, and I'm sure the board would agree with the choice."
"I need some time," he replied. "It's something I should discuss with Hermione."
She smiled at that, reaching over to grab his hand.
"Wonderful," the headmaster said. "Owl me once the two of you have come to a decision."
Hermione nodded. "We will, Headmaster, but we must be off now, Poppy is expecting us."
After saying good-bye, the trio exited the office.
Minerva turned and faced Albus. "Will you ever stop meddling?"
"I don't know what you're talk about," he said, feigning ignorance as he popped a lemon drop in his mouth.
She would have believed him if it wasn't for that damn twinkle in his eye.
