Ginny sat on her bed contemplating what she had just done. Perhaps it was a little... irrational of her to tell Sirius that she hated him, after all, he had been nice to her since they had arrived in this time period. But, she didn't see why he was so upset about it. It was rather obvious that he was smitten with Hermione, so why was he so upset?

She sighed and raked her fingers through her hair. Men! She leaned back against her bed and waited expectantly for Hermione to arrive. It wasn't long until she did, she strode in and leaned against the door frame and stared at Ginny.

"Don't you think it was a bit rash?" Hermione asked curiously.

"By that do you mean kissing Regulus or telling Sirius I hate him, because personally, I don't regret either of them." Ginny said, lazily opening her eyes to look at Hermione.

Hermione sighed and sat on the end of her friend's bed.

"I mean both, you barely know Regulus, until now you have never met him and in our time he was rarely spoken of." Hermione told her

"I know but, I still want to continue with him. After the war... Harry told me about Regales' story, about how he died getting the horcrux and I just... I guess in a way I admired him. He sacrificed himself to help defeat Voldemort and he refused to let Kreacher, his own house elf, die. I want to change that, to save him." Ginny explained, turning over so that she now lied on her stomach. "We're in the past Hermione, we could make a difference, we could save the both of them, Regulus and Sirius."

Hermione nodded and closed her eyes and smiled softly. "True, but if we change the timeline too much who knows what'll happen, after all, bad things happen to wizards who meddle with time. We might even create a paradox."

Ginny sat up and stared at Hermione a bit. "What?"

"Think about it, if we save some people's lives, then on the day we left for Hogwarts after the war, we might not have travelled in time then. Us... we would just disappear if we changed the timeline too much." Hermione explained. "It's just a theory though really, but we'll have to see."

"Anyway, I think you should apologise to Sirius. He likes us, and not to be self-centred, but I think he has a crush on me. Imagine Ron talking and snogging your crushes sister. It wouldn't feel good, would it?" Hermione explained and Ginny nodded.

Secretly, Ginny was still quite confused but for Hermione's sake she would apologise, being in a tiff with Sirius would only cause problems.

"I guess...but I will only apologise to Sirius if he also apologises." Ginny said, scrunching up her nose.

Hermione sighed irritably but nodded.

"I had a feeling you'd say something like that, but you're both stubborn prats so one of you is going to have to be the bigger man and apologise." Hermione said, rolling her eyes.

Ginny laughed care freely and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"A time will come when I stop being a stubborn cow, but today is not that day." Ginny said with a smirk.
