Chapter 1: Hermione Jane Black
On a chilly night in September, 1990 Hermione Jane Black was born to parents Jane and Sirius Black. About 20 minutes after Hermione came her mother was fading fast. "Please Jane don't leave me alone in the world, I need you!" Sirius exclaimed. "I can't stay but I wish I could, Sirius, promise me that you'll take care of her, please" Jane pleaded with her husband. "I will and I will love her more than anything but please don't go Janey" Sirius said as he took hold of her hand. "I can't Hun, but I love you, goodbye" Jane said as her eyes faded shut. "Bye Janey, I'll never forget you" Sirius said as he let go of his wife's hand and kissed her forehead. That night was the night that Jane Becca Black died at the age of 21. That night was the night that Sirius vowed to never let Hermione go.
Sirius walked in a dazed state back to the infant ward of St. Mungo's to see his little baby girl. His best friends James Potter, his wife Lily and their son, Harry walked along behind him. His other friend Remus Lupin was walking beside him. As Sirius saw his little girl in through the glass window, tears of joy streamed down his face. "Look at her, she's amazing!" Sirius exclaimed as he stared at the little angel he created. "Yes, she is" Lily said as she walked up next to him holding her baby boy, Harry. "See, Harry that's your sister, Hermione, be nice to her, remember your only two months older" Lily said as a nurse came up behind them. "Mr. Black would you like to hold her?" the nurse asked. Sirius nodded vigorously. She smiled as she walked in to the room and picked up Hermione. "Here you go, say hi to Daddy!" the nurse said as she gently gave Hermione to her father. She looked up at him and smiled, it was the kind of smile that made your heart break just at the sweetness. "Hello 'Mione" Sirius said as a tear steamed down his cheek. Hermione just giggled. She had her mother's honey brown eyes, she had light brown hair duster across her head, and the cutest nose.
About a month later the funeral was held to honor the life of Jane Becca Black. It was short and sweet. The list of people in attendance was short only members of the Order and family and very close friends. The first war ended 2 years ago and there was no chance of Voldemort ever rising to power. The Order was still around for the people to practice, be aware and stay in touch. As the ceremony came to an end Sirius brought Hermione up to drop a single red rose of the casket before it was lowered into the ground. Sirius had tears streaming down his face freely as he walked back to his friends, and cousin Narcissa and her son Draco, whom she was holding. "Hey Sirius" she said as she give him a one armed hug. "Hey Cissa" Sirius said as he kissed her forehead. "Have you heard anything from Lucius?" Sirius asked venomously saying his name. "No I told him not to contact me, or Draco ever again even if he gets out of Azkaban." Narcissa said with a deep crease in her forehead. "You just tell us if he does!" James said as he came up with Remus. "Thank you, and Sirius I'm so sorry" Narcissa said as she walked away with Draco. "Come on buddy, let's get you home" James said as he wrapped his arm around Sirius's shoulders.
Over the next 5 years Sirius constantly checked on Hermione, he barely slept, if it was the last thing he did he was going to keep her safe. Today is the day of the 3rd anniversary since, Jane died, Hermione looks more and more like her everyday. Hermione was sitting in the Potter's living room with Harry and Draco playing with blocks. "Hey old man!" James said as he jumped on Sirius, making all the kids laugh. "DADDY!" Hermione screamed as she saw her dad. "Hey 'Mione" Sirius exclaimed happily. "UNCLE SIRIUS!" The two boys yelled as they ran over and hugged him. "Have you all gotten bigger sine I saw you this morning?" Sirius asked as he placed Hermione on his shoulders. "So what did you do today Princess?" Sirius asked his daughter. Her eyes lit up as she explained everything she did with the boys. "Then, I fell but Harry and Draco picked me back up and set me on my feet!" Hermione said as the two boys ran into the kitchen where they were all sitting. "Dad when can we go get 'Mione her own broom?!" Harry asked as he jumped up on James's lap. "When her father says it's okay" James said as he looked over to Sirius nervously. "Why don't we go tomorrow?" Hermione asked happily looking at her dad. "Are you sure you want one?" Sirius asked praying she would say no. "Yes Daddy I wanna be a Chaser just like you!" Hermione exclaimed happily. "Okay, I guess we can go tomorrow" Sirius said as he tickled Hermione. "Thank you Daddy!" Hermione exclaimed as she kissed him. "Guys, he said yes!" Hermione said as the three kids ran into the living room. "Oh, Sirius you're such a push-over!" Lily exclaimed with a laugh. "I know" Sirius sighed as they all broke out laughing.
The next day everyone went to Diagon Alley. "Now Hermione which broom do you want?" James asked his "niece". "I don't know which, is the best?" Hermione asked as she ran into someone. "Sorry, I didn't see you" They exclaimed as Hermione fell back into Harry. "I'm so sorry, I didn't pay attention to where I was going" Hermione said as she looked up to Mr. Weasley. "Hi, Mr. Weasley!" Hermione exclaimed as her dad walked over. "'Mione what did you do now, oh hello Arthur!" Sirius said as he picked up Hermione and shook Arthur's hand. "What are you doing today?" Arthur asked as his wife came over. "Oh we were picking out a broom for Hermione" Sirius said as Hermione saw someone off in the distance. "Daddy put me down" Hermione said as she banged on her dad's chest. "Here, go on" Sirius said as he put her down. "Don't get lost 'Mione!" Sirius hollered after her. "DRACO, DRACO OVER HERE!" Hermione yelled as she ran to her cousin. "'Mione, oomph" Draco said as Hermione jumped on him. "Nice to see you too 'Mione!" Draco said as he swung her around. "Hi Aunt Cissa" Hermione said as she hugged her "aunt". "Hello dearie" Narcissa said as she hugged Hermione. "Come on Drake we're picking out my broom!" Hermione said as she waved bye to Narcissa and pulled Draco away towards her dad. "DADDY, LOOK WHO I FOUND!" Hermione yelled as she pulled Draco back to her dad. "Hermione, you don't have to yell" Sirius said as he looked at his daughter. "Sorry, well I wanted you to know I found Draco" Hermione said as she smiled. "Hey 'Mione we found this awesome broom over here" Harry said as he pulled Hermione and Draco over to the front of an old building.
"Oh, it's beautiful" Hermione sighed dreamily. "Daddy I want this one" Hermione said as she skipped over to her father and James. When she got there the whole Weasley family was there. "Uncle James, I found one" Hermione whispered as she pulled on his sleeve. "Okay, go get Harry and Draco would you" James whispered down to her. She smiled and nodded. "Harry, Drake, Uncle James wants us" Hermione said as she pulled the boys back to the talking adults. When they got their Hermione pulled on James's sleeve again. "I got them" she whispered. "Good girl" He said as he patted her head. "You've met my kids right Sirius?" Arthur asked. "Yes but it's been a long time since I've seen them all" Sirius said with a bright smile. "Well, this is the oldest, Bill" Arthur said. "Hello Bill" James and Sirius said at the same time. "This is Charlie and Percy" Arthur continued. "Hey guys" James said. "Here're the twins Fred and George" Arthur said pointing. "Dad, I'm Fred and that's George" Fred said as his father pointed to them backwards. "Sorry, these are my youngest, Ron and Ginny" Arthur finished with a smile. "Hello everyone" Sirius said as he grabbed Hermione's hand. "This is my daughter Hermione" Sirius said as he looked down to her beautiful smile. "Hello Hermione" all the Weasleys chorused together. "HI!" Hermione said as she waved. "This is James's son Harry and Narcissa's son Draco" Sirius said as he picked Hermione up. Harry and Draco just waved silently. "So what are you all doing later?" James asked the Weasleys.
Sirius put Hermione down. "How much is the broom you want?" Sirius asked. "It's 20 galleons." (A/N: I have no clue how much money that is) Hermione stated happily as her father gave her the money. "Go buy it and take everyone with you I don't want you alone" Sirius said as Hermione walked over to the Weasley children. "My daddy gave me the money for my broom and I wanted to know if you all would like to come with me to get it" Hermione said as she looked at all of them. "Which broom is it?" Bill asked as he looked down at Hermione. "I don't know but it's over in that shop" Hermione said as she pointed to the shop window. "Oh that's the newest Nimbus" he said as he walked towards where she was pointing. "Cool" Charlie sighed as he walked after Bill. "Anybody else?" Hermione asked. "We'll go" the twins said as they smiled down at her. "Ron, Ginny do you want to go?" Hermione asked. "Sure" Ron said as he smiled and walked off. "Ginny, come on you're walking with me so I don't have to be around boys" Hermione said as she took Ginny's hand. "I know what you mean they're always around!" Ginny said as she smiled at Hermione. "'MIONE, WALK FASTER!" Harry hollered as he pulled both the girls in the shop. "No need to be pushy" Hermione sighed.
"Is there something I can help you with?" a salesman asked as he walked over. "Yes sir, I would like to buy that broom" Hermione said with a smile. "Okay little missy, would you like the regular size or children's?" he asked with a smile as he bent down to eye level with her. "Children's please I don't think I could hold the regular" Hermione said as she compared the different sizes. "Good because I don't think you can either." The salesman said as he walked over to the front counter. "That would be 20 galleons Miss" he said as he looked down at her. "Here" she said trying to hand him the money, but was too short. "Ah, someone help" Hermione asked almost in tears. "Here you go sir" Bill said as he handed the man the money. "Here you go" the salesman said as he handed Bill the broom. "Here Hermione" Bill said as he handed her the broom. "Thanks Bill" Hermione said as she wiped her cheeks. "No problem" He said as he walked away.
"DADDY I GOT IT! I GOT IT!" Hermione yelled as she ran to her dad. "Great 'Mione" Sirius said with a smile. "Will you teach me how to ride it?" She asked hopefully. "Not tonight, we're going over to the Weasley's for dinner maybe tomorrow" Sirius said reluctantly as he saw the smile fall from her face. "Okay, what time are we going?" she asked trying to smile. "Around 5 o'clock." Sirius said. "Hey maybe, you can teach her how to ride her broom at our house!" Ginny said with a smile. "Please Daddy please!" Hermione moaned. "Yeah, we have a big back yard and everything!" Ron said as he walked up with the twins, Harry and Draco. "PLEASE DADDY!" Hermione said as she made puppy dog eyes. "Fine, bring the broom when we go" Sirius said as James started laughing. "Yes, thanks Ginny!' Hermione exclaimed as she hugged Ginny. "I just wanted to help" Ginny said as she hugged her back. "Well, we will be there around 4:45 alright?" James asked as he picked up Harry. "That sounds fine" Mrs. Weasley said with a smile as she picked up Ginny. "Are you guys ready?" Narcissa asked as she walked over to Draco. "Yes, are you coming with us to the Weasley's tonight?" Sirius asked as he picked up Hermione and swung her around making her laugh. "No, I have a meeting at work, but is it alright if Draco goes with you?" Narcissa asked. "Yes it'll be great!" Hermione exclaimed for her father. "It'll be fine Cissa" Sirius said as he picked up Draco too. He placed Hermione on top of his shoulders. "Good bye!" They all said. "See you tonight Gin!" Hermione yelled as she looked back at her. "Bye 'Mione!" Ginny yelled back.
