a new life
Dean lead her into a bar and hermione grinned he knew her well she didn’t like big fancy restaurants with stiff atmosphere and overly priced food and drink she’d much rather a dive bar like the ones she grew up In and mom and pops dinners. He lead her to a booth and went and ordered them some food and a drink beer for him and ginger ale for her with what ever greasy cholesterol raising food he could order.
Hermione sat rubbing her stomach looking around she never noticed two men walk over and sit in the booth till one put his hand on her leg and she looked at him raising an eyebrow he was uglier than a rats nest she’d sooner kiss Voldemort than these fuck heads.
“Mind getting your greasy paws off my damn leg?” she asked
The man leered at her “Why princess I can show you a real good time.” He leered.
Hermione snorted “Your incredibly over weight about the height of a stop sign and smell like the east end of a west bound jackass thanks but no thanks.” She said
The man glared “You listen here you little slut me and my friends are gonna take you out back and take turns with ya and you ain’t gonna say a damn thing about it.” He said the stale alcohol on his breathe almost made her wretch.
“And what makes you think you can force me anywhere without ending up with a boot in your ass and a busted face? If your lucky.” She said
“And what are you gonna do to me?” he asked snorting
“I didn’t say it would be me you got your meaty paw all over his girl and he’s a right ass when people touch me without permission a bit overly possessive of me.” She said nodding to the bar.
The man snorted again smirking “Cant no scrawny whimp take me im a 12-time boxing champion.” He said
Hermione smirked “Oh de do go easy on the bastard.” She said
A hand grabbed the man and drug him away from the booth slamming him into the ground and deans face hovered over the now frightened man. Dean was by no means scrawny he had lean muscle everywhere and his left pinky alone could hurt a grown man he hadn’t been raised by john Winchester for nothing he also had johns grade a asshole temperament and dean just happen to have it times ten especially when his girl was involved.
“I… I was just playing man no harm done.” The man said quickly
“You had your hand on my woman my pregnant woman and you threatened to take her without consent I say there’s been some big fucking harm done.’ He snarled
The man shuddered “P…please it was just a joke.” He said
“Come near my woman again and ill preform some cosmetic surgery and cut you into pieces got it.” He growled.
The man nodded frantically, and dean looked up to see his friend trying to drag hermione away and he got a smirk on his face. “You know you shouldn’t press against her like that.’ He said
“Oh, and whys that ill snap the bitches neck before you can get to me.” He said
“Well its just you might feel her gun and trust me when I say she knows how to use it.” He said. The sound of a gun cocking at the man letting go of hermione like she burned him, and she smirked “I let him take care of your friend don’t mean I don’t know how to defend myself.” She said
Both men left in a hurry and hermione walked over to dean and pulled him to the table “I assume our food will be ready soon.” She said
“Yes dear.” He chuckled.
Hermione moved and sat on his lap snuggling in close to him and he wrapped his arms around her nuzzling her neck he kissed her gently hermione groaned kissing him back they both lost themselves making out at the booth where the whole bar could see them but they didn’t care it was their first moment alone in weeks without pesky overbearing wizards and witches were in their faces.
“Hem, hem.” The high pitched and girlish sounding voice broke through hermione’s haze like shards of glass made hermione freeze in her attack on her boyfriend’s lips and pull back turning sure enough Delores Umbridge and six death eaters stood at their table.
Dean sensed hermione knew these people and cursed how the fuck had wizards found them here of all fucking places he held her tightly as she gripped her wand still hidden in her pocket.
“Umbridge.” Hermione snarled
Dean groaned and looked at the woman “Cant you freaks leave us in peace for one fucking day?” he growled hermione rubbed his arm gently.
“We wish we could we have no desire to be in this filthy place but miss. Singer has something that belongs to the dark lord.” She said her voice as usual ear splitting and migraine causing it was worse than the Cruciatus curse and it grated on hermione’s nerves something awful.
Hermione rolled her eyes at them “It doesn’t belong to him and I don’t know how you figured out I have it bitch.” She said.
“Quiet simple Miss. Singer a friend of yours gave you up after a rather long “Tea time” she said and hermione froze her eyes burning like fire “Who did you torture bitch?”
“I do believe his name is or well it was Seamus Finnegan.” She said hermione jumped up the elder wand in hand and pointed at her “YOU HORRID SHANK HE WAS A CHILD!”
This had the entire bar looking their way but a quick twist of her wand and the use of a somulus spell had all of them asleep minus her and dean and the death eaters. Hermione’s face was filled with anger “I knew I should have ended your miserable life in fifth year.” She snarled.
Dean stood behind her putting his hands at her waist calming her grounding her holding her temper at bay but not for long.
“I could say the same mudblood. But the dark lord wants you to himself congratulations you’ve surpassed even that brat potter on the dark lords list to kill.” She snarled
“Oh, yippee moldy shorts wants me all to his self. Im flattered… not.” She taunted them
The death eaters all snarled and pulled their wands out but hermione smirked having already anticipated this and had been the reasoning for her taunts and she cast a spell with a flick of her wrists ripping their masks off “Oh now I know why you were sent for me you’re all Dolohov’s friends I don’t suppose you miss the waste of space and magic.” She taunted.
“why you filthy little mudblood…” Macnair started the rage on his face rivaled that of Voldemort’s in the graveyard in her fourth year but Umbridge put her hand up as prim and impossibly proper as always “We can’t kill her the dark lord has given us our orders and we will follow them to a T bring him the wand and the girl alive unmarked you can kill, maim, torture and do whatever you want to her muggle pet though.” She said and smirked at hermione in what she thought was a superior and thus eloquent order.
A death eater raised his wand at dean but hermione turned quickly her reactions ten times as fast from her training as both witch and hunter “Avada Kedavra.” She shouted killing the bastard the green jet hitting him in the chests the death eaters stood stunned and she smirked.
“You really think you idiots can come in here interrupt my date with the father of my child and just kill him and take me? Im a slytherin I don’t follow Dumbledore’s love and forgiveness makes everything better morals I was raised to kill first and that’s exactly what I will do if you raise one wand against the man I love.” She snarled
“The dark lord said we had to bring you in alive not that we couldn’t hurt you first.” Umbridge smirked.
“ah, ah he said no marks toad face.” Hermione said then grinned feeling deans left hand slip from her waist and unheard by the death eaters but not hermione deans favorite gun was cocked and three shots sounded from behind her and three more death eaters fell dead with bullets in their heads leaving only two to deal with and the odds of six to two had drastically changed into hermione and deans favor. She laughed icily her face cold controlled her eyes like an uncontrolled raging fire and her smirk held death for anyone that dared to cross her.
“I am a witch but my “pet” here He’s a hunter and we can take out a few meseally death eaters.” She said dean pinned the last one and hermione stunned him in one swoop and turning before Umbridge could ger out the curse on the tip of her tounge she took her wand and knocked her to the ground using Umbridge’s wand to humiliate her more she stuck the wand at her throat Umbridge stared up in horror. Hermione’s lip curled in disgust even her wand was fucking pink.
“I had hoped that I’d be the one to find you Umbridge.” She said her voice simpering and sickly sweet. “I owe you for the Cruciatus curse in fifth year what was it 20 minutes you had me under it, and I didn’t scream lets see how you do.” She snarled and twisted her wrist in a complicated manner
“Crucio!” she hissed.
Umbridge screamed loudly her voice echoing throughout the surrounding area her body bent and twisted in utter agony. hermione stared with utter fascination as a smile split her features as Dean watched his girlfriend torture the bitch that had hurt her slightly afraid of her. Fear and awe filled his eyes as well as Images of his time on the racks in hell flashed behind his eyes and he put his hand on her shoulders gently.
“Baby this isn’t you.” He said his voice hoarse as he fought the images of his own torture.
She looked at him and the curse broke the worry and the fear in his eyes made her melt and she smiled softly “I know de, but this is war and this bitch hurt a very dear friend who was protecting me and our baby he died to protect us.” She said
Dean rubbed her shoulders ‘Then end hers baby but don’t sub come to them don’t let them drag you down to their levels killing in war is normal just like killing monsters in a hunt but torture is unnecessary and cruel your not cruel.” He said earnestly.
Hermione stared in his eyes she saw his love for her but she also the pain that he hid pain from johns death but also pain from his own experiences and she knew he was remembering hell he had come back from hell, but the memories still remained, and he was different from it, not broken but changed, she leaned up and kissed him gently. “Ok baby.” She said softly then turned to Umbridge.
“Its your lucky day bitch you no longer have to live this life anymore you get to move down to the racks in hell.” She said and pointed her wand at her “ Avada Kedavra.” She hissed a satisfaction filled her killing the bitch with her own wand it satisfied her and she felt she had avenged the fun-loving boy she’d went to school with.
She turned flicking her wrist a few times and conjured a box enlarging it she placed the dead death eaters in it with Umbridge on top she closed it wrapped it in a bow and stuck a note on it she shrunk it down and un stunned the last death eater and bent down “Tell your master next time send someone that can do the job or don’t bother coming after me at all.”
The death eater nodded frantically and disappeared with the box hermione stood and memory charmed the bar so they would remember this and took deans hand Appereating away.

Hermione and dean appeared in the Livingroom panting dean sat and put his head between his knees shocking everyone there they all stood and looking for the fight but hermione waved them off. “Its been taken care of.” She said
They frowned and sirius moved forward grabbing her arms looking in her eyes worry evident on his face “What’s been taken care of hermione?” he asked
“Death eaters they found us at the bar dean took me to cause fancy restaurants make me uncomfortable so we went to a bar and grill and had a run in but we took care of it mind if I check on my boyfriend?” she asked and pulled back bending down Infront of him. And rubbed his hair.
“Shh, shh baby you aren’t there you’re here with me and sammy you aren’t in hell anymore im sorry if I went to far.” She whispered
He looked at her and pulled her in his arms holding her tightly rocking them both and hermione let him he was always so strong for both her and sam it was her turn to be strong for him for once. She looked at sam and grimaced he looked at her questionably like everyone else and she sighed
“Umbridge was with the death eaters and I got a bit sadistic it reminded dean of the pit.” She said giving sam a look that had him swallowing though the wizards in the room looked even more confused but neither elaborated any further.
“Hermione what happened to the death eaters and Umbridge?” Dumbledore asked standing
She glared at him “I gave them rainbow kisses and teddy bear hugs what the fuck do you think happen you old coot? Dean and I killed them left one alive and sent him back with the body’s and message to the freak leader.” She said her tone sent shivers through everyone’s spines and sirius glared at Dumbledore who was giving her a disapproving look.
“Can it Albus this is war people die and hermione did the right thing so did dean.” He said “You shame her for killing and your shaming my house I wont have it she is the lady of my house I wont have it understand me?” he asked
Dumbledore nodded resigned
“She used that curse that witch did on john at the ball.” Dean shuddered
Everyone looked at her shocked they all know what spell that was but hermione rolled her eyes “She killed Seamus Finnegan to get information on me the bitch deserved everything she got don’t look at me like I did something wrong these animals set out to kill and love and forgiveness or stunning spells ain’t gonna work we have to fight and be ruthless if we aren’t then we might as well sign our death warrants now.” She snapped an order in her voice that both sam and dean recognized almost immediately.
“Mia you sound like dad.” Sam said
She smirked at him “Good maybe I can get through to people these death eaters are just as bad as demons if not worse we don’t hesitate killing demons we don’t hesitate killing death eaters or we are already dead anyone that can’t get behind that get out of my house.” She said then looked Dumbledore in the eyes, hers dark leaving no room for arguments she continued with her little impromptu speech.
“if I looked john Winchester in the eyes and suggested we let a fucking monster go that kills children and innocents I wouldn’t be able to walk for a month if they’re set out to kill you they aren’t gonna change their minds they’re gonna kill first and ask questions later so don’t preach to me about sparing their lives I end up in the afterlife because I didn’t fight back and I let them kill me I’ll have three very angry people on my ass.” She said
Both sam and dean nodded agreeing her “I’ll bring her back just to kick her ass she’s a Winchester and a black she goes out fighting that’s the way we are.” Dean said his voice strong sirius nodded agreeing with him.
No one moved and she nodded sharply then turned back to dean and snuggled into his arms burying his head in her neck holding onto him it wasn’t official but everyone in the room was pretty sure hermione singer black had just taken over the order.

The finale battle was happening and hermione paced the living room for 18 hours straight she wouldn’t sit or calm she worried over her friends and extended family she had grown attached to she knew the likeliness of them all making it was slim to none but she just hoped Voldemort didn’t win.
Sam and Dean watched hopelessly as their girl struggled over not being able to fight they knew it killed her for this to happen, she was a warrior she was meant to fight but her condition prevented her from doing so, the few times she broke down they held her and comforted her as best they could. Ginny had willingly stayed behind knowing hermione needed another magical being there with her and though she worried about her family she knew her job of protecting hermione and the unborn child in her stomach was just as important as killing the others.
Finally almost 20 hours later the fire turned green and harry stumbled through with Sirius hermione cried in relief if harry was here than they had won. She rushed to them but stopped as she saw Harrys resigned look and sirius who hadn’t stopped sobbing. She swallowed and helped him move sirius to the couch as the fire lit again and more poured out of the fireplace.
She looked around and noticed the many absence’s starting with Albus Dumbledore she swallowed as she noticed more missing from their group tonks, lavender, Fred, severus,… and many more she looked around and when she didn’t see remus her heart sank she looked to the man she considered her head of house outside of school and her heart ached she moved and crawled in his lap and he held her burying his head in her neck.
The finale toll for the light side had been massive hermione lost school mates, and friends she’d made during her time in the wizarding world but the deaths of Remus Lupin, Nymphadora tonks, Fred Weasley, and Severus Snape tore her heart apart. She spent days with sirius as harry and the others spent time with the Weasleys and others who had lost people in the battle… sirius didn’t speak he only ate when hermione begged him she was the only one that could get through to him. She put pictures up in a memorial wall in the house a room filled with pictures of those they lost. Sirius couldn’t go in without breaking.
Everyone gave up on him even harry but never hermione she moved everything he had to her house in the states and she took care of him, she grieved privately for the ones lost but spent most of her time with Sirius both sam and dean helped her when they could and as her pregnancy went on the more they helped.
Now she was close to her due date and she sat beside sirius who sat on the patio she made him come out and spend time with them it was almost Christmas and she had spells around the patio so they could watch the stars and snow without being cold sirius laid on a beach chair hermione had enlarged so she could lay beside him she had her head on his shoulder and she watched holding his hand tonight was remus’s birthday and as usual hermione was doing her best to keep him from breaking down he hadn’t spoken since the final battle and hermione missed his voice.
She watched the stars and started singing a song for remus and john that she had wrote it always made sirius tear up but he seemed to enjoy it “I miss the look of surrender in your eyes The way your soft brown hair would fall I miss the power of your kiss when we made love Oh but baby most of all I miss my friend The one my heart and soul confided in The one I felt the safest with The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again And let the light back in.” she began and Sirius’s arms tightened around her
“I miss my friend I miss the colors that you brought into my life Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now Saying it'll be alright I miss my friend The one my heart and soul confided in The one I felt the safest with The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again And let the light back in.”
She felt tears hit her head and she looked up at the sky “I miss your voice Siri sing with me please on this next part.” She whispered she always asked but he never did she always hid her disappointment but always asked hoping just one time he would before she could finish the song his deep voice rough from un use sang it finishing it
“I miss my friend I miss those times I miss those nights I even miss our silly fights The making up The morning talks And those late afternoon walks I miss my friend The one my heart and soul confided in The one I felt the safest with The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again And let the light back in I miss my friend I miss my friend I miss my friend I miss my friend” he finished the song and she closed her eyes holding onto him he began to rub her back gently.
“You’re the only one that hasn’t given up on me why?” he whispered
She looked up at him and cupped the side of his face in her hand smiling gently “Because Siri I’m your feisty kitten I wont let you wilt away you wouldn’t let me after John.” She whispered
He smiled at her tears in his eyes and he pressed a kiss to her forehead holding her tightly. They both laid there till they decided to go in and they both walked in sirius staying close to her still but now he was whispering to her talking to her. Hermione was so happy she forgot about the magical traps she’d set to mess with dean and sam and they both got caught in a door way, hermione groaned and sirius raised an eyebrow at her.
“Sam and dean made a pregnancy joke, so I wanted to get them back and put up mistletoe magical mistletoe they got caught under it and had to kiss and I forgot to change it back to the regular mistletoe.” She complained.
Sirius grinned at her “So we got to kiss?” he said
She blushed and nodded. “We have to kiss if we don’t, we’re stuck here.” She said
“Lets mess with dean I hear him coming in the room.” He whispered and she grinned looking up to see her boyfriend coming in the room he looked at them and raised an eyebrow
“ You two got caught?” he snickered
“Yea but since we aren’t in love with each other it don’t work we’re still stuck .” sirius said
Dean sputtered “In love? Im not in love with my brother either.” He snapped
Sirius shrugged “That’s the way it works so sam must be in love with you.” He said hermione was giggling burying her face in Sirius’s chest.
“I don’t believe you.” Dean said “In fact I don’t think you two have even tried to get out.” He said
Hear that kitten he don’t believe us.” Sirius said
She giggled harder “Guess we’ll have to prove it to him.” She said in between giggles. Sirius grinned at her and cupped her face In his hands and leaned in pressing his lips against hers. Hermione kissed him back gently then they pulled back and pretended not to be able to move.
Dean spluttered loudly “T…that’s not possible im not in love with my brother! And he ain’t in love with me!” he said
They both started laughing and sirius stepped out from under the door hermione following him and dean glared at them hermione giggled “we so got you.” She said
He crossed his arms “Not funny.” He said petulantly pouting at them and it made them laugh harder, sam walked in and it only served to make them laugh harder. Sam looked confused and dean explained to them what happened and sam started snickering at him
“You fell for that really?” he said
Dean grumbled and hermione walked over to him wrapping her arms around him “Look at sirius.” She whispered
He did as asked and saw him still snickering and he smiled a little even if his being tricked had done it the man was laughing for the first time in months and for that he would take it. Hermione kissed his cheek and went back to Sirius’s side “You know Black you’re a good kisser.” She giggled “Best kiss I’ve ever had.”
“Hey!” dean yelled
Sirius laughed again “Thanks kitten.” He said “thanks for making me live again and laugh again.” He said softly
She smiled and pressed a kiss to his mouth again “Any time Siri.” She said wrapping her arms around him tightly as best she could and Sirius put his hand on her stomach and rubbed it gently. “Someone ready to come meet uncle Siri?” he cooed softly
Hermione smiled gently “Actually dean and I wanted to ask you something.” She whispered
He looked at her “What sweety?”
“Both our parents are dead and we don’t really trust anyone else enough to ask but will you be our babies grandfather?” she whispered
Sirius smiled at her “Of course darling.” He whispered softly
She smiled and hugged him tightly curling close to him snuggling into his side, sirius wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head “You give me a reason to continue kitten everyone gave up on me but you never did.” He whispered
“I wasn’t raised to give up on things worth fighting for.” She whispered back. The three men smiled at her.

Hermione and sirius walked down the street of diagon alley and sirius was amazed by the amount of changes made to the alley he grimaced when he saw Olivander’s wand shop was closed and forcuteses as well. He saw the Weasley Twins shop was Up and running and seemed to be in good business he dragged hermione in the shop winking at her he walked up behind George Weasley and tapped his shoulder.
George looked up and his jaw dropped “So you are alive, I had figured once remus was gone you had offed yourself.” He said smartly
Sirius frowned “No is that what’s going around I committed suicide cause remus died?” he asked
George nodded “Your name is on the wall of hero’s lost because of the war if I hadn’t seen hermione beside you I might have thought you were an imposter.” He said
“That’s nonsense I’ve been in the states grieving for the love of my life hermione has been helping me through it.” He said then frowned more at Georges wince when he said hermione’s name again, hermione caught it as well and wrapped her arm through Sirius’s.
“What George?” she asked
“There’s talk that you uh… you slept with Sirius and got pregnant with his child so you wouldn’t lose your title as Lady Black when he died.” He said quietly “Harry, ron, and the order and I have been fighting it but it doesn’t help Percy the prat is pushing the agenda.” He said
Sirius’s face darkened and hermione sniffled “I would never do that I know who the father of my daughter is and its not Sirius Black He’s Like a dad to me for merlin’s sake.” She said
“I know Mione but they’re looking to ruin someone’s reputation to get the eyes off the ministry and since you are in the states and don’t subscribe to the prophet because of skeeter they’re using you as a scape goat and since sirius is considered dead no one cares about his reputation or his now known by the public relationship with remus.” He said
She sniffled again and sighed quietly leaning into sirius she felt his frame shaking in anger. “Siri they aren’t worth it let them think what they want our friends and family know the truth.” She whispered
“No hermione I will not let it go, it is public knowledge I made you the Lady of my House to give you protection in the wizarding world, that I viewed you as a daughter and now they’re using you and me to escape the spotlight, I’ve been a scapegoat for a lot since James and Lily died I will not let them use you as one too.” He snarled quietly
“Siri…” she started the stopped as a wet splashing sound was heard, and she looked up in horror at him “My water just broke.” She said
Shit!” he said and scooped her up “George public Floo now!” he called, and George shoved people out of the way for sirius to get through it stepping in George threw Floo powder in and sirius yelled out “St. Mungo’s Pregnancy ward!” and they disappeared
Sirius and hermione appeared in the Floo and sirius ran out “SHE’S IN LABOUR!”
Medi witches and healers rushed to their side and pulled hermione away from him as soon as he saw her safe in a room getting ready for the baby he rushed out and too the Floo, flooing immediately back to the house and grabbing the bag dean had packed for her.
“COME ON YOU TWO ITS HAPPENING!” he yelled, and the two brothers ran in the house having heard him from just outside sirius took them both separately to the hospital and all three men rushed to the room dean immediately moved to Hermione’s side taking her hand and she looked up at him grinning “She’s coming ready daddy?”
He chuckled “Nope.”
Sirius and Sam moved to her other side and hermione smiled at them sirius grinned “the aid of magical drugs its got her all giggly.” He said
Sam and dean grinned
“Doc say how far along princess?” sam asked
“6 centimeters she’s coming pretty fast.” She said.
How long the goofy meds gonna last baby?” dean asked
She grinned up at him “72 hours.” She said leaning against him dean wrapped his arms around her kissing her head. Hermione hummed hey Jude gently as if remembering for a moment being young and laying in johns arms listening to him sing it to her.
Dean and sam smiled softly
“He’s here with us baby he’s here he got out of hell.” Dean whispered to her she looked up at him and smiled and smiled “I know like sirius always says the ones that love us never really leave us they’re always right here.” She said tapping his chest like she had done john back at the ministerial ball almost 3 years ago.
“We need a name for her baby.” He said
She nodded thinking searching her potion added brain for a name and looked up at him “Maryanne Rhea Black Winchester.” She said
Sirius stared at her
“Perfect baby.” Dean said kissing her head
The door opened and the doctor walked in with the nurse they smiled at the scene “Are these the three that’s gonna be in the room with you Lady Black?” he asked her.
“Yes, they are.” she said
“Alright who’s the father?” he asked
Even in the potions induced fog a glare graced her face “Obviously the man holding me don’t be a dunder head and believe the crap you hear in the public gossip circle.” She said
Dean rubbed her back gently raising an eyebrow but hermione just snuggled close.
The doctor looked properly chastised and nodded “Alright lets look see how far you are Lady Black.” He said and moved lifting the covers looking. Hermione leaned back against dean and smiled up at him “She’s almost here.”
He kissed her head again.
The doctor pulled back “Your right Lady Black “Your almost fully dilated now we are going to get things ready and welcome this little girl into the world.” He said
She nodded gently
0o0o0oo0o0o0
Hermione leaned against dean and held their daughter in her arms gently smiling looking up at him he smiled down at her rubbing the baby’s little head “She’s so beautiful.” He whispered
“She is beautiful gonna have problems when she’s older.” She giggled at him
Dean snorted “I have a very well stocked trunk for little boys interested in my little girl.” He said very seriously. Hermione giggled harder holding her close watching her little eyes fluttered
Hermione looked around and saw Sam, Dean, and Sirius and smiled “Welcome to our family Maryanne we’re all a little over protective but your gonna be the safest little girl in the world.” She whispered to her
The three men smiled softly.
