The Color Black

~D.A.D.A Class #3~

~Harry's POV~

I woke up today a little earlier so I could go talk to Sirius and figure out what happened with Hermione last night, she came back kind of sad, I could hear her crying from my room. I changed into my uniform putting my tie around my neck before pulling on my shoes, I walked out of the common room heading to the dungeon. I walked into his chambers to see him still passed out still in the bed. I grabbed my wand using it to splash water on him and wake him up. He shot up and looked at me pissed, I smirked shaking my head throwing his robes at him, he shook his head.

"What are you doing Harry."

"Getting you up, we have things to discuss."

He gave me a confused look.

"What are you talking about."

"Get ready, we'll talk before class."

He nodded his head, getting out of bed while I went and made him his coffee, when he came out he looked at me.

"So what do we need to discuss?"

"What happened with you and Hermione last night?"

He looked down, getting really quiet shaking his head.

"She doesn't want me, that's her choice."

"Well how did you do it?"

"I asked her out and she said that she couldn't put you and Ron through that and she doesn't want to risk my job. However I talked to Minerva and she said that as long as no students find out, and I keep her in the loop we could be together. Hermione left before I could explain that everything would work out, she left and this is what came of it, why do you ask?"

I took a deep breath.

"She came in last night with tears streaming down her face, and her eyes were puffy. I think she likes you more than she expected the problem is she's with Ron. She doesn't want to hurt him, even though I was on the verge of killing Ron last night..."

He cut me off.

"Why were you about to kill Ron last night?"

I let out a rough sigh.

"Ron saw you two looking at each other yesterday, he hit her."

His eyes went wide with anger, he walked out of the room and I knew exactly where he was going. I followed him to the Gryffindor common room, he looked around until he caught sight of Ron, he walked over and looked at him.

"Mr. Weasely..."

He stood up before Sirius continued.

"I need you and Ms. Granger to join Mr. Potter and I after class today. Failure to show will result in detention with me for the next two weeks so do try to be present."

Ron nodded his head looking at me with a scowl on his face before he looked at Hermione. She let out a sigh and I grabbed her pulling her down to the room of requirement so she and I could talk. We walked into the room and I looked at her shaking my head, I let out an irritated sigh.

"What the hell were you thinking?"

She looked at me with wide eyes.

"Me? What about you asshole? You told Sirius about Ron and now Ron's going to know how Sirius feels and get him fired."

"That's not true and you know it, why won't you go out with him?"

"Why do you sound like such a fucking girl with this shit Harry? Did you ever think that maybe just maybe I'm doing this to protect him?"
