The Color Black

~Christmas~

~Hermione's POV~

I woke up today to see that Sirius wasn't in bed with me for the third time this week. I mean I get it I was a bit of a tease and kind of a bitch but that's no reason to act like a teenage boy. I got out of bed grabbing my long sleeve white and black dress, and my black high heels before taking a shower and doing my morning thing. I did my make-up before pulling on the dress and shoes, I left my hair down and natural before walking out of the room and down to the kitchen. I walked in to see Sirius standing at the counter drinking a cup of coffee, I walked over going to give him a kiss. He moved away and I let out a sigh shaking my head before grabbing myself a cup, I turned around and looked at him.

"Why are you acting like this?"

"Hermione, not now."

"Oh, then when?"

"When I'm ready."

He turned around and looked at me.

"Sirius, I love you and one night of us not doing anything shouldn't affect us this much, we haven't talked in days. You've been sleeping in your brothers room, so tell me, what's gotten into you, why are you acting like this?"

"It has nothing to do with that night, it has everything to do with me. I've been thinking, taking time to myself to figure out what I want."

I looked at him shaking my head.

"And that isn't me, is it?"

He looked at me with wide eyes.

"Of course I want you, I'll always want you."

"Then what is it?!"

I could tell that he was getting frustrated and what he shouted next scared the hell out of me.

"I want to marry you!"

I looked at him shocked.

"What?"

He walked closer to me placing his hands on my waist pulling me into his chest.

"I want to make you my wife."

I took a deep breath moving out of his hold.

"Well, now I need some time to think."

"I didn't want to tell you until I knew that you were ready, I love you Hermione, and when I think about the future all I see is you."

I looked at him.

"Sirius, we've never had a conversation about this and now all of a sudden you want to get married. We've never talked about what would happen if we got to this point."

"Do you want to talk about it now?"

I looked at him taking his hand in mine leading him upstairs to his room, I locked the door and sat on the bed. He came over sitting next to me taking my hand in his once again, we sat there for a moment before I finally decided to speak.

"I want a family, kids, is that something that you could consider having?"

"Yeah, as long as it's with you I could see it, so I take it that since you're talking about kids, I guess that means you want to get married."

I smiled.

"Someday yeah, but I want it at Hogwarts, every girl thinks about their wedding, it's just always been a dream of mine, I know it's kind of silly."

He shook his head at me.

"It's not silly, and I'll do my best to give you your dream."

I smiled at him.

"What do you want in your future Sirius?"

"Honestly, as long as you're in my future I'm happy, you add a kid or two and my already amazing life with you will become perfect. I just want you to be happy, that's all I care about, I'll give you your big Hogwarts wedding and I'll give you all the kids you want as long as you're happy."

I smiled as he laid down, pulling me into his chest, he held me close, kissing my head, I rolled over pulling my dress up a bit straddling his waist. He looked up at me, before sitting up placing his hands on my waist and holding me there for a moment, looking into my eyes.

"You going to torture me a bit more?"

I shook my head.

"No, but we do have to go down stairs, Ginny and Harry will be wondering and I don't feel like letting their minds wander."

"Good point, you never know what those two will concoct in their fucked up little minds."

I started laughing, getting off of him and opening the door to see Harry and Ginny standing there scowling at us.

"We do not have fucked up minds."

Sirius and I shook our heads laughing, before walking down the hall with Ginny and Harry following behind us. We all walked down stairs to the kitchen Ginny and I started cooking while the boys helped by carving the turkey and ham. Ginny and I made the sides and set the table letting everything cook while we sat in the living room drinking, opening gifts and just having a good time. I went to the kitchen to get more wine and check on the rest of the food. I opened the oven pulling out the casserole and set it on the table with the turkey. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist, I smiled turning around looking into the stormy gray eyes that I've come to love. I placed my hands on his side before connecting my lips to his, I pulled away before giving him a quick peck, he smiled.

"I love you."

I smiled.

"And I love you."

I moved out of his hold calling for Ginny and Harry telling them that dinner was ready. They came in and we all set down at the dining room table drinking wine, eating, and just spending time together. This is my family, I always thought that things would be different, like it would be bigger, but as it turns out my family is perfect just the way it is. I have my two best friends that I would do absolutely anything for, and I have the love of my life next to me, I don't know what I would do without him. When everyone was done eating we all cleaned the kitchen letting Kreacher do the dishes while we all turned in for the night. I pulled off my shoes before taking off my dress and pulling on Sirius's black T-shirt. I crawled into bed reading my potions book, Sirius walked in pulling on a pair of bed pants and looking for a shirt, he looked at me for a moment.

"You took my shirt."

I smirked.

"How bad do you want it back?"

He smirked, pulling the covers back grabbing his wand before lifting the shirt over my head. He hovered above me before I removed his bed pants, he positioned himself at my center sliding into me. Moans filled the room as he continued to thrust into me fast and hard, I wrapped my legs around his waist pulling him closer to me. My nails ran up and down his back and I knew I was leaving marks. I felt myself tighten around him as he continued to thrust into me, the both of us soon reached our high he pulled himself from my body. Rolling over next to me pulling my naked body into his, he laid there not bothering to move from the bed as we soon fell asleep in each other's arms.
