“Whenever he’s around I can’t think straight and have the strangest urge to run my fingers through his hair.” Sirius spoke the words seductively in Hermione’s ear, his hot breath startled her, forcing a blush.

She looked up horrorstruck and slightly aroused. A cold trickle of dread danced along her spine while something warmer fizzed in her belly. “How?” she whispered.

“Came addressed for me,” he replied casually, still at her ear. He was close enough for her to feel the heat pouring off his body.

Struggling for purchase, her mind grasped at any tendril of reason. “Why?”

He shrugged, smug, not going anywhere, anytime soon. “Mercury is in retrograde.” He rolled his eyes when she didn’t understand. “Communication goes all wonky.”

“Rubbish,” she muttered darkly.

“Really?” he asked amused. “Then why is your letter to Ginny in my hands?”

Having no answer to that question she opted to glare hoping it would have some affect on the twisted little smile he was affecting. It didn’t. It only encouraged him.

“I wonder…how’s your thinking right about now?” She was caught in his gaze like a mouse hypnotized by the cobra. “I bet your fingers would feel wonderful in my hair…”

Thanks! It was fun! Mercury was an interesting one to navigate. I tried doing it in 100 but I just couldn't keep it that short.

I'm glad you kept writing, the more Sirius/Hermione interaction the better. By the way, any previsions about when you'll post the next chapter of Innocence? I'm really curious about the baby girl's name.

I agree that there is not enough Sirius/Hermione out there. I follow one story with what can only be described as religious ferver and wait rather impatiently for each new installment.

The next chapter of Innocence is in the capable hands of my beta being dissected as we speak. I don't usually use a beta (too impatient) but I had an issue with the last chapter that I needed to remedy with the next one. The girl's name is revealed with the next chapter!

I'm working on the chapter right after that right now and might be ready a week after the one being beta'd. We'll see...there are a couple of life events so I'm working those out. Then its just one more chapter and the epilogue and I'm done.

Really? This beta of yours sounds pretty bad-ass, yeah?

I think I do. She's cool. She mentioned something about having a bite to eat then sending it off to you.

I need to do something nice for her to say 'thanks'! Maybe I'll write another biofic for her, one involving Ben Barnes this time. Hmmm.....

Oh Ben. When he has long hair, he's Sirius. Short haired, Regulus.

What you can do is tell ALL your "Innocence" readers to go review "Of Family Resemblances and Like Kinds" because it's starting to think the other ff.net fics are taking the piss at it!

So, are your Sirius and Regulus twins outside of hairstyle? Isn't there someone who could be a competent Regulus?

What? A shameless plug in the A/N?

From: [identity profile] duck-or-rabbit.livejournal.com


Yes, they look very similar. Ben is all men to me. LOOK at him!

Totally kidding about the fic :)

I'm not ready to take that leap sweetheart but do enjoy your Ben swim. There are too many Sirius possibles out there for me...Christian Bale...Hugh Jackman...mmmmm......

I knew you were joking!

From: [identity profile] duck-or-rabbit.livejournal.com


All good men you mention :)

Barnes just makes me swoon, like young Sirius does :)

In my impatience to respond I forgot to say that my beta is none of than the too fabulous [livejournal.com profile] duck_or_rabbit !
