Chapter 9:
Three weeks had passed after the small 'incident' of Hermione's, and Remus hadn't heard of her after that. Sirius was a bit restless whenever he was around Remus, and he thought that Sirius knew about Hermione, but he wasn't telling him. Remus was sure, because he knew that Sirius was very close with Hermione's friend, Kate. He even went to Pulse, he always went to private rooms, waiting for Hermione, but every time it was a different girl. He'd excuse himself from the young girls, pay them of course, leave and the next day he'd go once again, and the same thing would happen again. He even called Harry, asking him if he knew where Hermione was. Judging by Harry's stuttering answers, Remus was positive that he knew where Hermione was. He even called Draco, but being a former Slytherin, he wouldn't get a positive or a straight answer from the blond.
Overall, Remus was frustrated at everyone.
But he was mostly frustrated at himself. He couldn't think of anything other than Hermione and her face when she saw Sirius apparate in. What had really happened with Hermione? He wanted to know as well, he was so close to knowing, but then that happened and everything disappeared.
Her boss didn't know where she was, telling him that she had received a message from some of her friend's telling her, that Hermione might not come back to work for a month or two, and she didn't know where she was. What was he going to do? What if he'd never see her? He'd just found her, he wasn't ready to let her go.
Ok, now that's the second thought that was occupying his mind. What was so enticing in Hermione? She was brilliant, she had a beauty that no one else held, she had tattoos, and she had piercings. Remus chuckled at his own thought, and sipped his morning tea, sitting in his small living -room. What else? She knew how to keep a conversation going, and he would never get tired of talking to her. She knew how to dance…ok, that was a stupid thing to think about. But still he couldn't erase the image of her straddling his hips dancing on him, or dancing for audience, gripping the pole in her hand like a professional. Remus sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
His feelings were still a puzzle for him, ready to get sorted, but before he'd think of it, he had to find her, but…
Where was she?
"How's she?" asked Draco to Harry quietly.
"She's still sleeping," answered Harry tiredly, walking towards his husband, and slipping into the comforts of his bed, scooting closer to Draco's body, wrapping his arms around him. "I don't know what to do anymore." Draco tightened his hold on his lover, and pecked softly on his forehead. "I don't want to lose her, she's like my sister. She's something else, you know."
"I do," Draco murmured, and he was proud to say that he really knew her. She was a help that one could ever ask for.
"What if she'll never be back to normal?"
"She will."
"And the most surprising thing is, that she wants Remus, when she wakes up she murmurs his name, do you think that something happened between those two? Do you think…" he sat up and looked off to the space, "that day, night I mean, she asked me about where Remus' place is, I gave the address and she told me something, along the lines, that 'it's worth it' or something like that. Do you think they had…you know?" asked Harry and looked at Draco's face.
Draco looked at Harry with blank expression. "What if they had something together? Weren't you telling me, the other day that she'd want to do it with Remus. What if she did?"
"What if she did?"
"Yes."
"But that still doesn't explain why she is in this state."
"Harry, Sirius pop out of nowhere in front of her, and she didn't see anything like that in so many years, I think it's understandable for her being like this," Draco explained softly, and after a moment Harry nodded and got comfortable, once again, on Draco's body.
"So, what do we do now?" asked Harry in a small voice.
"I think we'll wait for a bit longer, and see if she'll come around, if not, we'll ask Remus to come, because it's him-"
"That she wants to see," finished Harry for Draco nodding his head. "Thank you," he whispered and kissed his chest.
"For what?" asked Draco looking down at Harry.
"Just."
Draco smiled softly and snuggling closer to Harry, fell asleep.
In the midst of Remus' 'mind struggling' Tonks came back from her vacation. Early in the morning when he neither wanted to wake up nor to sleep, he heard rapping on his front door. He grudgingly grunted and walked down the stairs, opened the door and saw that it was Tonks. She practically hauled him up the stairs and ravaged him hungrily. He being still sleepy didn't realize that he was responding to her administrations, before it was too late and he sunk in into her with a grunt, and heard her moan.
She wasn't Hermione, nor she was the one that should be wrapped around him, but he was angry with her for jumping on him and he was angry with Hermione for wiping away from the face of the earth, and he was angry with himself that he foolishly assumed that Tonks won't do something like this and he would wait till Hermione would come back to him.
After some minutes when she reached her high and screamed, he just roughly rode his orgasm out and just pulled out of her; grabbing the first clothes that he could reach, pulling them on he apparated away, leaving a very bewildered Tonks behind.
He apparated to Sirius' place; it was still early morning, so it was understandable that he was still sleeping. He peaked into his rooms, and not surprised to see him tangled in sheets with a blond haired girl sleeping beside him. Remus snorted, and walked out of the room towards the kitchen. He poured himself a drink and sat, looking out of the window, thinking.
Why was he so angry at himself? It wasn't that he didn't like Tonks, they had something together some time ago, and when she decided to go to vacation, they agreed that they'd only have a platonic friendship, and she agreed. She God damned agreed. Now she ruined everything. Shit. What was he to do? Did he have to be with her again? Or not? What would happen to them? What would happen to Hermione when and if he'd find her? But wait…he and she did not have anything together. But why did he feel guilty all of a sudden?
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, when Sirius walked in, only in his boxers.
"I didn't know you were here," he grumbled, which indicated that he was not a morning person at all.
"Well, I apparated in and you were…asleep," Sirius grinned at that. "Rough night?" asked Remus sarcastically, but his heart wasn't into it.
"Very," agreed Sirius and poured him a coffee, sipping it as he sat on the counter and looked thoughtfully at Remus. "Something happened to you and you don't know if you should tell me or not." It wasn't a question.
"No, everything's fine, really," lied Remus through pursed lips, but he knew that Sirius knew him too well, and he could tell when he was lying.
"Bullshit," said Sirius and took a sip of his drink.
"Tonks is back," there was a hum of acknowledgement from Sirius, who was still drinking his coffee, "and we had sex."
"What?" coughed up Sirius, spilling out his coffee, "You can't be serious?"
"Well, I'm not Sirius, you are," joked Remus lazily.
"Don't fucking joke with me Moony," Sirius mumbled and wiped away the slipped coffee off his chest. "What are you going to do?"
"I don't really know."
Sirius looked at his friend closely and mumbled, "You feel guilty."
"I do," agreed Remus, not lying at all, because he knew that he couldn't lie to his friend.
"And it's because of…someone else? The guilt I mean."
Remus only nodded.
Sirius understood his friend in a minute, "Moony, you should know that…she is not yours, and you don't feel any responsibility towards her. You are a free man and she is a free woman," when Remus looked more dejected than ever, he added softly, "don't do this to yourself or her."
"I'm not doing anything to me or to her; I don't even know where she is at the moment. Do you know where she is?" Remus asked his friend, who shook his head in his turn, not looking at him. Remus ignored it, "She's something else…entirely. I gave up on Tonks and thought that I'd start something new with…someone else. But she came back and ruined everything."
"Why do you feel guilty Remus? Think of it as a sex and nothing else," suggested Sirius lightly.
"You know that I can't think of 'just sex' with Tonks, for one she's your cousin and for two I don't want to hurt her feelings."
"What about yours?"
"What about mine? I'm fine with it."
"So it's ok to hurt your feelings and not be happy?"
"If that what it takes from me to make her happy, then I'll do it."
"Where the hell had gone my friend? Who the hell are you?" asked Sirius incredulously.
"Sirius, don't. You know that she was devastated when I broke it off with her-"
"And now she all but fucked up everything," mumbled Sirius.
"She didn't," Remus tried to deny it, but the glare from Sirius silenced him. "I just…don't know already."
"You should just tell her to fuck off and that's it."
"I can't do that, don't you understand? I just can't," said Remus angrily, his voice almost a growl. Sirius looked at him sharply, frowning, "You know that I'm not like that. I can't 'just have sex' with Dora."
"Dora?"
"Yeah, it's her name, isn't it?"
"But you called her Dora when you were in a relationship with her. Did she give you a love potion or something?" asked Sirius looking worriedly at his friend.
"Don't make fun of this Padfoot. Just don't," he pushed away from his chair and apparated away once again.
Sirius sighed and looked at the place where his friend had just been. The blond woman walked to kitchen scratching the back of her neck and yawning. "Morning."
"hm" replied Sirius.
"Is there a coffee here or something?" mumbled the girl.
"Here, take this, I don't want this, whatever this was," Sirius was so much thinking about his friend that he forgot what he was drinking, "Hey look, I'll leave the money on the nightstand, take it and leave later," he walked towards her and kissed her cheek, "Thanks for the night, lovely."
He was only rewarded by her small smile. Sirius winked at her and walked to his bedroom. He started to wear his favorite navy blue button up shirt and faded blue jeans, his mind racing. He knew that he was being a very bad friend not telling Remus the truth, but…he promised her, and in exchange for that promise she told him about her past. It was a very unpleasant thing to know that about her, knowing that she was a brilliant witch back at her time, and she still would've been if not for…certain circumstances. He sighed as he did his shoes and walked down the stairs and out of the front door. Taking a deep breath he apparated to Harry's place.
When everything was in the right place once again he opened the door to Harry and Draco's apartment and walked in. Being Harry's Godfather, and the Godfather for their wedding Harry gave him a key to his home, though Sirius only used it whenever he wanted or he was in a bit of a hurry.
"Harry?" Sirius called out when he walked into the living room. "Draco? Where are you?" There was no answet, but…
"They aren't home now, it's only me here."
"Hello Hermione," said Sirius kindly and walked towards her.
"Hi," she replied softly and hugged him close to her. She liked Sirius, because he was handsome and kind, and he was like a big uncle for her. He was incredible. He apologized after what had occurred between them the other day, and when Hermione opened up to him, not keeping her promise to tell Remus about her past first, he embraced her answer almost immediately. And he held her when she started crying after her story. When they pulled back Hermione had tears in her eyes.
"Oh, this won't do at all," murmured Sirius and wiped away her tears with his thumbs, holding her face in his hands, "I feel like shit, whenever you see me you start crying, it feels like I'm a bad influence on you or something."
"No, no Sirius, no," answered Hermione thickly, her voice filled with held back emotions, "it's just whenever I see you I remember…him. You look so much like Remy."
"Remy?" mumbled Sirius, "Why the two of you use nicknames is beyond me."
"What do you mean?" asked Hermione, taking Sirius hand in hers and walking towards the couch sitting down, Sirius by her side.
"It's…" looking at Hermione, Sirius thought that he shouldn't say a single word, but he couldn't help himself when he said. "Tonks is back, and I think that Remus might've gone back to her."
"Tonks?" whispered Hermione, she knew all about Tonks and Remus all too well, they were together when she was still in her sixth year, and after the war she knew that they were together.
"Yes, her. You know, years back, Remus ended it all up with her, but now she came back from her vacation and they are together now," said Sirius, "I don't even know what Moony was thinking when he did it with her. I know she's my sister and all that shit, but I don't really care if he'll break her heart. He was unhappy as long as I could remember him; it was like he wasn't meant to be happy in his life. But…" he paused and looked straight into Hermione's eyes, "He is out of his mind, Hermione. He wants to find you, real bad. He wants to know what's wrong with you and why you left the Wizarding World. And he wants to go back with Tonks, I don't even know why."
"Sirius, why are you telling me this?" whispered Hermione, breaking the eye contact.
"Because, somewhat, I know you. I know the both of you, and if this continues you'll end up hurting," he cupped his cheek and ran his thumb on her cheek, "I don't want you or my friend to get hurt. I love the both of you dearly, and if…by some miracle Remus will get his wits back, and break it all off with Tonks, he can be with you and the both of you will be happy. I want only happiness for the both of you, and nothing else."
"So, you are telling me to just…stop thinking about him and live my life like normal?" asked Hermione, her eyes brimming with tears once again. She bit her lip to hold back a sob that was so dangerously close to escape her lips.
Sirius looked at her and gave her a small nod, and Hermione couldn't hold back any longer as she started crying. Sirius held her once again while her body was shaking with her grief.
