Ginny stared at Regulus shocked. He knew it! She trembled violently and then began to speak in the strongest voice she could muster.

"I'm not going to tell you anything, just give me my picture and forget about otherwise. I'll go to Dumbledore and have you obliviated." Ginny told him.

"Fine, I don't blame you. It's not my secret to know, I won't tell anyone. But you should be more careful, you never know who might find out." Regulus told her before strolling back up to the castle, whistling a tune.

Ginny followed him eventually, not realising someone had heard them.

"Pssst, Hermione. Wake up, WAKE UP." Ginny whispered, now shaking Hermione violently.

"What Ginny?" Hermione asked groggily.

"Regulus knows." Ginny said, biting her lip.

"What!" Hermione gasped, leaping from bed. "Muffilato , Ginny how?"

"I left a picture of us after my second year with the date on it, I'm sorry!" Ginny cried.

"It's okay, are you sure he won't tell anybody?" Hermione questioned.

"Yes, I threatened to obliviate him." Ginny whispered.

"Okay...good. Go back to bed; I'm getting up to read." Hermione said as she pulled a dressing gown over her semi-transparent night gown.

She tiptoed downstairs and sat by the fire, not noticing someone was sitting next to her. She suddenly felt really tired, and slowly she began to drift off, leaning against none other than Sirius Black. Sirius had been having nightmares ever since he had seen his great aunt Cassiopeia kill herself at his 16th birthday dinner. She'd stabbed herself repeatedly then hung herself.

He had one that night actually, her bloody, mangled figure dragging him down to the fiery pits of hell. He went down to the common room and the few house-elves that were stoking the fire left. He sat down and watched the fire lick around the embers in an entrancing dance.

He was nearly falling asleep when he felt someone sit next to him; he looked out of the corner of his eye and saw, to his delight, Hermione Reeves. She sat next to him staring as the flames and he felt her sudden feel asleep. She collapsed in an awkward lean against him. He maneuverer her so that she was leaning into him, his arm draped around her shoulders. He drifted off, loving the feel of her body pressed up against his.

Hermione was vaguely aware of murmurs and giggles surrounding her. She snuggled into the comfy body... WAIT body? She peeked one eye open and saw a mass of shaggy black hair, she then saw a flash and she jumped up sending Sirius to the floor. Sirius glared at Lily and Ginny, who were hiding behind a camera, and replaced the position of being sprawled across the carpet for casually leaning back against the sofa bottom.

"So what were you two up to if you catch my drift?"
