::Chapter 2: Sirius's House::
"Hurry up Hermione! Your Harry will be here any minute," her uncle said from the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm coming. Stop calling him my Harry. He's not mine," she yelled back. She was fixing her hair and suddenly a clasp at the back of her dress came undone. The first small wire clasp. "Oh heck..." Hermione started and she fiddled with the clasp wearily. She put her arms down in strain. She suddenly felt a hand touch her back and swiftly clasp her fastening right above the zipper. She shivered as the hand moved up to her neck and turned her face towards them.
Harry's green eyes locked in hers. "You look spectacular."
She blushed lightly and touched his hand on her shoulder. "You look fine as well," Hermione said to him.
Harry smiled to her and took his hand in hers. " Shall we?" he asked his eyes twinkling.
" Let me get my coat," Hermione said as Harry let her hand go and she got her coat.
Harry put it on her from behind and then took her hand.
She smiled sweetly at him.
He was wearing a suit and his tie was clearly not done properly.
She rolled her eyes and tilted his chin up with her soft hand. She started to do his tie in a perfect knot. There that looks better," Hermione said satisfied.
" Wouldn't you like to take the duty of tying it every day?" Harry asked his eyes twinkling.
Hermione blushed and he took her hand in his and kissed it sweetly.
" Let's go," he said and they descended the stairs.
Her uncle was waiting on the couch and he was smiling at them.
" Okay here are the rules Ralph," Hermione started. " No alcohol, no stupid jokes, no embarrassing memories, and no teasing."
" Hermione...you take the fun out of everything. Imagine what I'd be like without some of those things. No alcohol...I agree. But I need the rest," her uncle pleaded jokingly as they headed out to the car.
" No is a no," Hermione said firmly to him.
He started to fake pout and Hermione gave in while laughing.
Harry chuckled and they made it to the car.
" Want me to drive?" her uncle asked with a glint in his eye and a wink.
" How tempting that offer is I must say no because we have to go to Sirius's house which is a very complicated route unless I use magic," Harry said.
" All right. I'll kip in the backseat," Ralph said and opened the door for Hermione in the front.
Hermione sat down as Harry sat on the other end.
She met his gaze and smiled.
Her uncle slammed the door of the car signaling he was in, breaking their gaze.
Harry started the car and he started to drive.
" So where exactly does Sirius live?" Ralph asked breaking the silence.
" Oh there isn't an exact place. I don't know myself. Hold on," he added and suddenly they felt the car going really fast as green clouds of smoke surrounded the car. Suddenly the car came to a halt in front of a medium- sized house.
Harry got out and everyone else did. " Follow me," Harry said. He led them to the house and when they walked inside the found it fairly crowded.
" Sirius, I'm back," Harry called over a rather large mass of people.
" Ah Harry back already. Yes I think everyone that is coming with us is here. Hermione you look beautiful," Sirius said to her. He just then noticed Hermione uncle.
" I'm Sirius Black, Harry's godfather," Sirius said putting out a hand.
" I'm Ralph Granger. Hermione's uncle and X-boyfriend," he said.
Sirius and Harry raised an eyebrow both simultaneously.
Harry looked curiously at Hermione but she was blushing a deep shade of red and she was tugging on his hand softly. He swiftly pulled her away from the crowd and up the stairs and they could hear Hermione's uncle say something to a very curious Sirius.
When Ralph was done, Sirius burst out laughing, their talk continued, and Remus soon joined him.
Hermione sped her pace after Harry.
Harry led her into a very well organized room. There were many posters but pictures took the majority. There were so many pictures. Some of trio during their years at Hogwarts and many of their friends. There were pictures of Lily and James with Harry as a young child.
Hermione frowned and said jokingly, " I like your room, but I don't see a picture of me as just me."
Harry laughed and took her by the hand. He took her to the desk where he said a password along with a spell and it opened.
There in the drawer were several pictures of Harry and Hermione both together.
" Harry..." Hermione started and she flipped through the pictures. She stopped at one that was of her and Harry kissing by the sunset.
Harry looked over her shoulder and smiled. " I was going to make a collage or small album...Nothing too big," he added with a wink.
Hermione smiled at him, put the pictures back in the drawer, and sat on the couch in front of the fireplace in his room.
Harry plopped down right beside her.
Hermione thought of something and she didn't feel him gently stroke her cheek. She suddenly realized that Harry was gently caressing her whole face. She found his hand on her chin slowly moving across her lips. She placed her hand on top of his, he pulled away from her face to his lips, and he gently kissed her hand. She smiled at him and he gently rested his head on hers, which was lying, peacefully on his chest.
He kissed the top of her forehead softly and closed his eyes taking in the scent of her hair. A sweet smell met him.
" What are you doing?" Hermione asked.
" Your hair smells wonderful and looks really nice," he said taking a whiff of it once again.
Hermione laughed and sat up straight. She started to run her hands through his hair. " Thanks but I wish I could say the same for you," she said quietly and pulled his head to hers.
He chuckled and grabbed her hands, " Oh really now. I smell bad? Or is it just the way the hair is?"
Hermione leaned in towards his collarbone and took a deep breath from her nose, " You smell great Mr. Potter. Just the hair is sort of messy, but that just adds to the look." She was running her hands through his hair trying her best to fix it. " Your contacts make your eyes look more vibrant or deep," she said looking into his eyes. " Overall average, what kind of crazy and desperate girl would come to you?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
He snorted but then slowly wrapped an arm around her and said, " My desperate and crazy girl, you..." he said before kissing her softly against the lips.
Hermione responded to the kiss and it was impassioned. She bent her head back as Harry started to kiss her bare neck. She shivered in response as his arms were now fully draped around her. She slowly positioned her arms around his neck and his lips came back to hers.
There was a knock on the door and they immediately broke apart.
Hermione looked to Harry and saw that there was an apology in his eyes. She shook her head and smiled. She straightened her position and looked to him.
He was smiling, " Come in."
The door opened and in stepped Sirius.
" Hello Harry, Hermione," Sirius said nodding to each.
" Hello Sirius," they both responded.
Sirius walked over and sat down on the chair opposite them.
Hermione glanced nervously to Harry and fidgeted in her seat. She wasn't sure if Sirius knew about them.
" Harry, I think you should put it out in the open," he said seriously.
Harry nodded but Hermione looked rather confused.
" I know Hermione," Sirius paused to grin madly while she blushed a little. " I know about your relationship..."
" Er...okay so Sirius how many are you expecting for the turn out tonight?" Harry asked quickly changing the subject and clearing his throat.
Sirius gave him a meaningful look but Harry gave him one of those not-right- now looks.
He merely chuckled, " About 45 or so for our portkey," he said rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
" How in the world are 45 people being able to clutch onto a small object that is the portkey?" Hermione asked.
" Their tickets are portkeys. They don't know that. We tell them the time and they hold onto them and they leave," Sirius replied. " I'll go now before on Mundugnus Fletcher drinks all the Butterbeer," he said chuckling. " I'll have some sent up here," he added and walked out of the room.
Harry laughed and leaned back on the sofa and rested his arm around Hermione's shoulders. " Hey, what's wrong?" he asked noticing her tension in the brown eyes.
" Nothing," Hermione said and put on a smile.
Suddenly the door opened and the two looked to see who came. Instead of a person two Butterbeers came floating into the room.
Harry laughed and caught them as they came towards both of them.
He handed one to Hermione.
They started to drink some of the delicious drink.
Harry draped his other arm around her again and let her rest against his chest, " Hermione the time had to come and now it has. ` I haven't come to insult but to praise Caesar'," he said raising his arm in the air.
Hermione laughed into his chest, " You remember that?" She blushed as the memory came back to her.
::Flashback::
It was winter and snow was about around the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The gentle fluff embedded into the ground was smooth and soft.
Harry Potter was attending his 6th year. He was in the Quidditch Pitch getting ready for the match that was next.
" Oy Harry," said a seventh year that was playing as a chaser for Gryffindor.
" Yes," he said swerving sharply.
"Your friend is here..." the person replied and pointed to a figure that was walking onto the pitch quite fast.
Harry grinned and started towards the ground with his broom.
Hermione's face was flushed and she was panting.
"Hermione...what are you doing here?" Harry asked and he saw from the corner of his eye that the rest of the team had landed as well.
"I haven't come to insult but to praise Caesar," Hermione said briskly. " I heard about what you did...after Potions...I thought it was very..." she started off looking for the right words.
"Polite, generous, brave, logical, practical, naive?" Harry asked his eyes twinkling.
Hermione laughed and said, "Yes including naive but not so sure about the logical part. You could have gotten into a lot of trouble, but thanks. Good luck in the match Harry."
::End of Flashback::
"I remember as if it was yesterday," he said softly, while stroking her hair.
Hermione's face spread into a grin. She closed her eyes drifting into her thoughts but to again be woken up by Harry.
"Hermione...we have to go in a few minutes," Harry said gently shaking her a bit.
Hermione opened her eyes, looked up, and saw Harry's eyes gazing down at her. She sat up straight and was pulled up by Harry. She smiled at him, walked to his dresser, and looked at herself. Her hair needed a bit straightening so she fixed it.
"You look fine," Harry said into her ear coming up from behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. He emphasized on the word fine.
They both started down the stairs besides each other. They entered the living room and saw Sirius motioning everyone to take their tickets to go.
