Chapter 8: Blushing

Hermione then turned the classic Gryffindor red, while Sirius was sporting more of a 'Weasley Red'. Sirius turned to stare at Hermione and then they got up and glared at Ginny and Lily.

"Very funny I just fell asleep here and look who happened to be there." Hermione said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Sure." Lily said with the most obvious sarcasm in her voice. She then turned to Ginny and said, "This picture will stay with me how about we go put it up in the dorm?"

Ginny didn't even need another second, "Yes!"

The girls ran up to the girls dorms and then Sirius and Hermione were alone once again in the common room.

"So what happened, why did I end up sleeping on top of you?" Hermione said quietly.

Sirius then explained the whole aunt nightmare problem and how she ended up sleeping there and just wanted to make her more comfy. When he finished Hermione had some tears in her eyes,

"Oh, Sirius I'm so sorry about your aunt and thank you for caring."

She then got up and hugged Sirius and stayed like that for a while until Sirius finally whispered in her ear,

"I never told anyone about her, not until now. It means a lot you listened."

Sirius then put his face deeper in Hermione's deep curls and then they broke apart and that's when they realized she was sitting on him with all her heat burning threw Sirius' PJ's.

Sirius' dark grey eyes met Hermione's magically altered dark blue ones and Hermione then leaned in closer until their faces were inches apart and then they heard the flash of a camera and there Lily was again with Ginny staring down at the two looking like deer caught in headlights.

"That picture is much better, and nothing was going on, eh?" Ginny said with a hint of amusement. She knew all too well how much Hermione liked Sirius but refused to say it. Lily then said,

"They're perfect for each other aren't they Ginny?"

"Absolutely." Ginny replied.

Hermione then stood up and said,

"If you don't mind I'm going to change into my school robes."

It's a Saturday you idiot. Well anything to get far away from them, but I wanted to kiss Sirius really badly. One week of being here and I've managed to almost kiss a guy, do you know how much that can mess up the future. And Harry's godfather no less.

By the time Hermione was done ranting in her head she was back downstairs and in her robes and the common room had Sirius there with James and Remus sitting next to him Remus reading and James playing with a snitch and Sirius deep in thought looked up at the staircase when Hermione walked in. James then elbowed him and gave him a wink. Sirius managed a small chuckle but that was all that was coming out. Lily and Ginny were on the other couch deep in a whispered conversation. No doubt it's about me, Hermione thought.

She then sat in a comfy couch near the fire and stared in the fire absent minded. Almost time for breakfast, at least I'll be out of here. A whole bunch of Gryffindors were doing their last bits of homework in the common room, and some were outside, even wondering about the castle, or just waiting in the Great Hall for breakfast. Hermione was then interpreted from her conversation when someone sat next to her and wrapped an arm around her waist. She then turned and saw Sirius something obviously on his mind.

"Well um, Hermione I was wondering if you'd want to come to Hogsmeade with me next Saturday. So what do you think?"

Hermione was shocked she then got herself together and then said, "I don't know Sirius."
