The thing about Sirius, is he's one of those characters that just works with so many others whether they be male or female. I admit I do ship Sirius/Remus, BUT, I ship Sirius/Hermione just as much. That's the beauty of fan fic to me, there's so much freedom, and when you get a decent writer (such as yourself, and many others in hermionesirius) your appreciation for that ship becomes so much more.

Erm, anyway, sorry for the random babbling...

"Oh, no," she says, to no one in particular. "He can't be ser-" She stops herself from making that common mistake.

LOL, that never gets old, and I can imagine Sirius endlessly making a joke out of it much to Hermione's chagrin.

This was lovely, great job!
