Where the New Future Begins

Chapter 17

*Sirius' POV*

I continued to kiss Hermione. She was perfect for me. This was just right. Hermione was the best thing to happen in my life right now. Right then we heard a cough and right there was the man I called father. James father was standing there. I smiled to him and then said,

"Father P, I would like to introduce you to my girlfriend Hermione Granger."

"Yes, I have meet before. But I did not know you are together dear boy. Hello Professor Granger." Charles said.

Hermione nodded and then said,

"I will see you later Sirius. I better go and say hello to a few more friends of mine. They would never forgive me."

I smiled at her and she nodded towards Charles and walked away. I knew I would find her later but right now I knew I was going to be getting a lecture right now. I gave him a look and then said,

"Let's get on with it."

He gave me a look and then sighed. I knew he was contemplating on what to say to me. I could see in his eyes that he did not like it at all. I knew that I had to be the first to speak.

"Father, let me explain to you. I am falling for her. She may be my teacher, but I know for a fact that she is something special. She has the same feelings for me and we are about the same age. She is a fighter. That is what I love about her. I love you and mum, but she has my heart too. I may not have known her for that long, but I know that we are connected." I said.

I knew I had to give him time to think. I gave him a look and then went to find my friends and Hermione.

*Hermione's POV*

I walked over to Fabian and smiled to him. He was sitting at a table enjoying a drink. He handed me a drink and I said,

"Would you like to go talk to my friends?"

He nodded, and we walked over to James and the others. James smiled and said,

"Well, I think the fun is about to start."

I couldn't help but laugh. I just shook my head and said,

"Oh, you boys. How is he treating you Lily?"

"Oh, you know James. He's himself." Lily said with a smile.

"Did you find Sirius?" Remus asked.

I nodded and said,

"Your father caught us in a moment and I think he is having a stern talking to right now."

James looked around and nodded. But right then I felt arms around my waist and I turned to see Sirius behind me. Fabian smiled and said,

"What is this? Are you trying to steal my date?"

I laughed at how dramatic he can be. But he means it in a fun-loving way. Sirius smirked and said,

"Well, if you don't mind man. I would like to have a dance with your date."

Fabian nodded and stepped aside. I smiled at Fabian and walked with Sirius onto the dance floor. I looked around and saw a few people were dancing. I could see eyes on us, but I did not care. Sirius smiled at me and said,

"You look so beautiful tonight. I'm sorry about how I treated you earlier."

"I accept yours apologize. If I could ask... What did your father say?" I asked.

He shrugged and said,

"I told him my heart and let him think about it. He needs to see how much you mean to me. I am serious about this Hermione. I know that I was not really showing you my feelings, but I really do care about you Hermione and I want to see where this goes between us."

I nodded because I did not have words to form. I was speechless at that moment. That was the moment Sirius really opened to me and told me his feelings. I had the biggest grin on my face and you could see how happy I was. I just wrapped my arms around him and gave him a huge hug and kissed him in front of everyone.

We walked back to our friends and you could see the excitement and joy of the scene that just happened. I gave them a smile and said,

"Oh, shut up."

"We were not going to say anything dear." James said.

I just shook my head and turned to Fabian and I saw a look in his eyes. They were like a big brother look. I know people thought that he had strong feelings for me, but they were nothing romantic. He cares for me and just wants to see me happy.

"So I think someone owes me a thank you for bring this wonderful witch here today." Fabian said with a smirk.

I just gave him a look and said,

"Yeah well, I don't think someone need a big head about it."

"Who has a big head?" Gideon asked.

"Your brother." I said.

"Oh that is too late." Gideon admitted.

I couldn't help but laugh at that. I looked over to Fabian and smiled at him. He had a hurt look on his face. I just shook my head and said,

"Well, this has been an interesting evening but it is getting late and I have a few things to do tomorrow."

I looked over to Fabian and Gideon and they agreed. I gave the others a hug and turned to Sirius. He gave me this sad look. I then said,

"Oh don't worry dear Sirius we will see each other soon again. I promise it."

"Alright I am holding your word to heart." Sirius said.

I gave him a goodbye kiss and left with Fabian and Gideon. This was going be really busy and lots was planned. We got back to Hogwarts and I looked the Fabian and Gideon. They gave me a smile and said,

"I will see tomorrow morning. We have a busy day."
