The Color Black

~Fight to the Death~

~Hermione's POV~

I woke up today and instantly had a bad feeling about the events that were to unfold in my very own home. I rolled over and looked at Sirius, he was still fast asleep, I placed my hand on his tattooed chest and smiled before reaching up and placing a small kiss on his lips hoping to wake him up. I watched as his eyes opened and squinted at the sunlight coming in through the small window on the wall. I looked at him and gave him a small sad smile before getting out of bed, he grabbed my wrist and I looked back at him. He sat up pulling me to him and giving me a small kiss before pulling away looking into my worried brown eyes.

"I promise, everything will be alright, nothing is going to happen to us, I love you Hermione."

I nodded my head.

"I love you too."

I gave him a quick kiss before getting out of bed and finding the clothes that I wore through the war, I put a quick spell on them turning them into maternity clothes. I got dressed before doing my morning things, skipping my make-up for the day, I went to the kitchen getting a quick cup of tea. I stood there sipping it until Sirius walked in leaning against the door frame, he gave me a small smile.

"I really wish you would reconsider going, and just stay here where I know you'll be safe."

I shook my head.

"If she succeeds in this, I'll be dead anyways, plus I'd feel a lot better if I were there with you, we both know I'm quicker than you, even in my pregnant state."

I smirked and he shook his head.

"In your dreams luv."

I laughed setting my cup down before grabbing my wand and standing in the middle of the room holding my hand out to his so we could walk down to the pool key. We walked out of the school only to be stopped by Harry and Ginny running down the hill screaming at us. When they finally reached us they were out of breath, I shook my head as I looked at them.

"What are you guys doing?"

Harry looked at us.

"We're coming with you, you two aren't doing this alone, the teachers can take care of the school, let us handle Bella with you."

I shook my head.

"Harry, I'd really..."

I was cut off by Sirius.

"Then let's go."

"What?!"

Sirius looked at me, and I shook my head at him

"Hermione, we need all the help we can get and if they're willing to help then so be it, you're my pregnant wife. I'm not letting anything happen to you and if you insist on coming with then I would be more comfortable having more people with us."

I shook my head, before letting out a sigh and giving in with a nod of my head we continued walking down the hill to the portkey. We all looked at each other and I took Sirius and Harry's hand in mine while they took Ginny's, before we appeared in front of our home. I turned around and threw up on the side of the street before standing up straight, wiping my mouth. Ginny gave me a discussed look before looking at the house, I let out a rough sigh before taking the first step. We walked in and looked around a bit, Ginny and Harry took the downstairs while Sirius and I went upstairs to see not only our bedroom door open but the nursery door as well. We walked in to see Bella sitting on the rocking chair in the corner of the room, she smirked at us before standing up.

"Well cousin, I was wondering when you were going to show up."

Sirius looked at her shaking his head.
