The Color Black

~Let's Try This Again~

~Hermione's POV~

Today's the day that Sirius and I try to do this all over again, today is the day that hopefully I finally become Mrs. Sirius Black. It's been one week since Sirius asked me to marry him for the second time on that dock and every time it happens I think things between us become much better than they ever were. I love Sirius with all my heart and I can't wait to actually start a real life with him, I mean sure it's going to be difficult for a while but I think we'll manage. Hell we haven't died yet, and we've been put through so much and honestly in my opinion we've been lucky. I was pulled from my thoughts by a knock on my old bedroom door in the Gryffindor tower, I opened the door to see Ginny standing there with her long burgundy dress and silver shoes in her hand. I smiled stepping to the side letting her in as we went to work on her, I flattened her hair leaving it down like she always does. When that was done I started on her make-up giving her a thin layer of black eyeliner, with a smokey burgundy eyeshadow. She looked in the mirror and smiled at me before pulling me into a hug and whispering in my ear.

"I'm so happy for you hun, lets just hope that this time one of my brothers doesn't fuck it up."

I laughed, nodding my head agreeing with her.

"That would be wonderful."

I pulled out of her hold walking to the closet grabbing my white dress that faded slowly from white to gray and into a black at the bottom. I showed it to Ginny and her eyes went wide before a smile came to her face, and she rushed over taking the dress in her hands.

"This is just gorgeous, why didn't you wear this the first time."

I laughed, shaking my head.

"I'm kind of glad I didn't."

"Good point, sorry hun, I know you don't want to be reminded of that awful day."

I shrugged my shoulder.

"Anymore, I don't mind, I've kind of grown numb to it, it's just a part of my past that happens to be growing in my belly in the present."

"I'm sorry this happened to you Hermione, I know that you wanted this to all be with Sirius, and to be honest you deserved to have it be with Sirius. I guess my fucktard of a brother thought differently, and I'm so sorry for that, I wish there was something I could do."

I shook my head at her.

"Ginny, today's not about Ron and the awful things he did to me, it's about Sirius and I celebrating the love that we have for each other. The love that survived all of the bullshit with Ron, the love that lasted even though we both thought that it was wrong. That's what today's about alright, so please, just help me get ready to walk down the aisle to the man I love."

She smiled at me and nodded her head.

"Alright."

I grabbed my high heeled silver studded shoes that I've worn many times but knew that I had nothing else to wear with this dress after such short notice. I slipped into my dress smiling at how elegant it looks, before pulling on my shoes and looking in the mirror. I smiled at myself before doing my make-up, I applied a light layer of black eyeliner with a black and silver smokey eyeshadow. I let my hair fall naturally and smiled at myself remembering how I felt the first time I did this, a knock soon came to the door and Harry walked in. He smiled at me, before pulling me into a hug and giving Ginny a quick kiss, I looked at him.

"So did you hear any news about an ex that might be coming to not only crash my wedding but try to kill me?"

He shook his head.

"Not funny Hermione."

I smirked a bit.

"It kind of is, and besides you brought this all on yourself you know."
