Hermione's growing up fast and if her friends knew how fast, they just might be a little jealous. Or possibly disturbed...
Sirius has been alone inside his head for far too long. When he meets his godson's best friend Hermione Granger for the first...
"Ready to see where we're going to stay," Sirius asked as he levitated Hermione's suitcase into the air and then minimized it. He placed it in the front pocket of his trousers.
She looked up into his gray eyes and nodded. "Alright," she replied. "Do you have luggage," she asked.
"In my other pocket," he said grinning.
"Ah, of course."
He approached her and wound his arms around her. "Hold on tight," he whispered.
"But I read that all I really have to do would be to touch the hem of your..." She looked up into his eyes again and blushed., then smiled as she nodded her head. "Alright."
"My way is far cozier," he whispered and she felt his lips on hers as she felt the sensation of being pulled at her navel through a bendy-straw.
They materialized on to a lush and very well manicured green lawn just as he was finishing the kiss. He looked down into her brown eyes and then turned her around and she looked up and gazed at what she would have described as a small castle. He took her hand in his and led her toward the stone structure.
"It's so small," she whispered to herself, not realizing that she had spoken aloud.
"Oh, that's merely the gate house, Love."
"Oh. Yes, of course." She rolled her eyes at her naivety, embarrassed that he had heard her.
They walked through the structure and she felt as if she had walked through a heavy curtain. "Alright?"
She nodded and as they crested a hill and she watched in awe as the stone battlements came into view. It was a mammoth structure and she felt that she would lose herself in there. "That's not where we'll be staying," he said. "It's huge and it's cold and it echos. Never did like it much. We will be staying in one of the out-buildings."
"An outbuilding?"
He nodded. "Mmhmm."
She sighed. "How far," she asked.
"It's a little bit of a walk. I can apparate us there if ya want?"
She stopped walking and shook her head. "I don't mind the walk, but I keep sinking!"
He looked down at her feet and saw that the heels of her sandals were in the ground. "Oh."
She giggled. "No worries. I'll just take them off." She said as she held onto his arm to steady herself and pulled off the sandals.
After a brisk twenty minute walk, they were nearing a large brick house. "This is my house," he said. As the head of the family, I've claimed it. Told the Frenchies that they could keep the castle, so they're very happy. Next to Hogwarts, this place is one of my very favorite places to be in the whole world."
