Hermione Black and the order of the Phoenix (Hiatus)

Chapter: 3 Regulus's Room

Hermione woke up the next day at 6:30, Ginny was still sleeping so she had a quick shower and went downstairs to the kitchen. She found Remus, Sirius and Mr &Mrs Weasley in the kitchen. Sirus looked a lot happier this morning now that he knew she existed it was almost he remembered his will to live. They all exchanged good mornings "So did you owl Andromoda like you said" she asked Sirius in a whisper as she sat down next to him "Yes she, Tonks her daughter and her husband Ted are coming tomorrow and I wrote to harry I started with the first meeting with James, Remus and Lily" She smiled brightly After she finished breakfast it was only 7:20 "why don't you go into the library it's massive and I know your love of books. Just be careful if you do there is some evil magic but magic is magic there is no light or dark just magic but it is evil." Hermione then made her way with the directions Sirius gave her to the library. 

And just beyond the heavy, mahogany doors stood 'them'. Thousands upon thousands stacked in neat rows, all orderly arranged and alined back-to-back where their insides could not be judged by their covers. Each set in groups surrounded on five sides with wood as deep and dark as blood and each one a mantra of the previous. Their titles all curled and looped in one direction and turned to the side so that one had to tilt their head to read them, Each book held it's own world of wonders and answers to short and lifelong questions about humanity that had lasted for hundreds of years before the small library had even been assembled.

There was so much glorious magic a lot she hadn't ever seen before she started with the first book closet to the door on the first row. The title was Forgotten Ancient runes and what they are used for it was an old book. "Kreacher !" she called "Yes little miss " Kreature is happy to serve the noble and most ancient house of black, what do you need Miss" Kreacher in a happy and excited voice replied "Kreacher can you please remove all of the dust in the library " Kreacher did just that and Hermione tucked in the book she picked up she was two-thirds of away through 2 hours later when Remus and Uncle Sirius came through.

"Ready for the tour it looks a lot cleaner in here than when I left it, " Sirus said to Hermione "yeah I'm ready, I did get Kreacher to clean the library," Hermione said to Sirius and Remus. They gave her a long tour of the house her favourite room was the library but she thought the lord's Study would be very nice done up. Finally, they reacted to the room she was most anxious to go to her father's room. The door of the room hung a sign which reads: Do Not Enter Without the Express Permission of Regulus Arcturus Black. Her father's room was bigger than her bedroom in Sussex where her adoptive parents lived. The walls, windows and bed were draped with Slytherin's trademark colours: emerald and silver. It was a simple layout with a large window with a desk in front of it the desk was pushed in between the double bed and wall. On the other side of the room, the side with the door was a large door which opens into a wardrobe. On the wall was the Slytherin Quidditch team with her father holding the trophy with the captain's bag on.

" His bedroom looks a lot like mine even if he hasn't been here in a long time I think he is the type of person who is neat," said Hermione as she sat down on her father's bed." Yeah Reggie was a really neat person, I miss him," said Sirius in a sad voice Hermione sniffed the half-empty colon on his bedside table she noticed when she found out she was adopted she remembered bits and pieces from her birth parents like different sents and images it smelt familiar and made her fill safe. Hermione felt tear well up in her eyes and she couldn't keep them down she started crying. she felt the mattress weight go down on both sides of her she then felt two pairs of arms wrap around her. She cried for her father regulus, she cried for her mother Marlene, she cried for her godmother Lilly and harry. She cried so hard for so long that she ended up falling asleep against Remus and Sirius she felt safe and loved. She woke up at noon in her father's warm bed it felt safe and calm. She couldn't bring herself to go downstairs and see everyone so she called Kreacher to bring her the book she was reading. An hour later she was hungry and she finished her book so she went to the bathroom and to freshen up and then went downstairs for lunch. She came downstairs to the kitchen and saw the Weasley family, (minus Percy who left them and Mr Weasley who was at work) Remus and Sirius. She gave Remus and Sirius a small smile and sat down next to ginny "hey Hermione " many people said "hi dear are you feeling better Remus said you were feeling sick and went back to bed " Mrs Wesley said motherly to Hermione "yes I'm feeling better now said, Hermione

a little while later when the Weasleys left again Hermione talked with Remus and Sirius. Hermione wanted lessons on her family and magic. Remus and Sirius were hesitant to agree but they gave in. So began over the next week Hermione reading her way through the library, getting lessons with Remus and Sirius. She talked with surprisingly the twins the most Ginny and Ron were more or less ignoring her with harry not there and it hurt her deeply. Ron was meant to be her best friend. Any romantic feelings she had towards Ron left her when the yule ball happened at Hogwarts. She dated Victor for a bit but to disced to stop and remain friends in the holidays.
