Summary: Placing one foot in front of the other, taking steps toward the kitchen, her foot caught on something and nearly brought her to the floor. The offending object was a haphazardly placed suitcase in the hallway, Sirius' suitcase.

 

Setting her keys on the long marble topped entry way table, Hermione breathed in the smell of home, a comfort after an arduous day in the musty bowels of the Ministry. Not that number tweleve Grimmauld Place didn't have its own smell, a formerly repugnant smell, when she was young, before this old haunt had been transformed, renovated and virtually given a lobotomy. Harry made it a showplace again, restored its grandeur while stripping it of its malintent. Now it smelled of oil polished wood floors, fine crafted leather furnishings, fresh air that stole in through opened windows and Sirius.

She pushed that thought aside because it hurt, it was an empty feeling, laced with regret and surprise. The surprise was the hardest to grapple with because she thought was smarter then this, smart enough to recognise her own feelings, smart enough to pick up on the clues he had been dropping about his feelings for her. The truth of the matter hit her at her desk at work that morning, musing over his reasons to get out and see the world, get away from all he knew and loved. He had to get away from her and her rejection.

Placing one foot in front of the other, taking steps toward the kitchen, her foot caught on something and nearly brought her to the floor. The offending object was a haphazardly placed suitcase in the hallway, Sirius' suitcase. The commotion in the hallway caught the attention of the only other occupant in the house who looked around the corner and down into the ancient hall, his face set in determination. Stormy grey eyes pierced her, seemingly rooting her to the spot with fierce intensity, exposing him completely. Any doubt she may have harbored was instantly burned to cinders and ash.

"I'm through with half measures with you, Hermione," he said striding forward, never dropping his gaze. Upon reaching her he gave her a light shove against the wall, forcing a small gasp from her. "I love you and I think you love me too." And then his lips were on hers, one hand on her hip holding her in place the other reaching into her hair to cradle her head. A brief touch of annoyance was dispelled as he robbed her of all rational thought, only permitting her to feel as he shared his fire with her, setting her ablaze.

"Am I wrong?" he mumured softly, tenderly as his lips nibbled at her jaw, teeth grazing her skin and tongue caressing hot and wet along her neck. Grabbing the lapels of his jacket for support she tried to tell him that he was absolutely right and that she was a fool and thank god he changed his mind but all that escaped her lips was a pathetic whimper. Just as suddenly as his most welcome assault had started, it stopped as he stepped back cautiously to observe her, to gauge if he had in fact made an enormous, embarassing mistake.

Moving in step with him she did the only thing that made sense and went at him this time with every ounce of love and need that she had been repressing for god only knows why. Pressure behind her knees was the only warning before her feet left the ground and she was crushed against him, cradled in his arms, a slight noise of complaint slipping between her lips. "I didn't think he so," he said smiling with smug confidence, ascending the stairs, taking the steps two at time before entering his bedroom and slamming the door shut behind them.

Lovely! So much emotion of such different tones!

Also, and this is totally random - but have you changed the words at the top of your journal, about the sky and the flying carpet, or am I just totally oblivious? Either way, I really like them.

Lovely after a long gap....I almost crave for your style of writing now..perhaps a sequel?
By the way...you've got to tell me where you got that icon from as well as its sketch inspiration if it's not too much trouble...please!

I have to comment you. I just stumbled upon your work a day or two ago, shortly after just stumbling into the world of HP fanfic in general, so I'm REALLY a newbie. I have to tell you, your stuff is like crack. Seriously - I'm on CH37 of Innocence and I CANNOT STOP READING. I am truly impressed and more open minded now. I never took the idea of fanfic seriously, and it's wonderful to see someone take these beloved characters and run with them. Only, you seem to do so with a great deal of art and depth and class. The erotica aspect is so well written, and I am absolutely loving the rollercoaster overall. Not to mention now I'm utterly addicted to the notion of Hermione/Sirius :)

I have blown almost every minute of my spare time reading this lately, damnit.

Thank you so much for creating something like this and sharing it.

To read a marvelous drabble during vacation period in this awful weather is soooo good.

I'm glad I've finally found an internet connection in this forgotten land, I was feeling so lost
