Hermione's Four Hearts 6

“I love you.”Hermione murmured as she rolled over and snuggled into Andromeda’s body. She kept her eyes closed trying desperately to hold on to the feeling of peace that came when you weren’t quite awake yet. Her body still ached but it felt a lot better than it did when she laid down. Having Andromeda next to her helped as well. Hermione had been away from her girlfriend for three weeks and had only been able to send messages not receive them. It had been hard being apart. Hermione was ashamed to admit that she was close to quitting a few times because she missed her lover so much. The thing that kept Hermione going was the fact that she knew in her heart that she was the only one who could actually win this war for the Light side. Even if it made her feel bitter towards the Order and the other people who looked down on her for doing what they themselves could never do.

“I love you to pet but I think it’s a little early in our relationship to admit such things.”A voice that was not Andromeda’s replied.

Hermione’s eyes snapped open and she realized three things all at once. One it was not Andromeda in bed with her, two it was Bellatrix and three more than one person was laughing at her. Jumping back from Bellatrix Hermione looked at her in shock.”Why are you in bed with me?”

“Because I won the right over the others.”Bellatrix of course had cheated but she wasn’t going to tell anyone that.

“That makes no sense.”Hermione looked around the room and noticed that along with her and Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa and Fleur were there as well.”Andy what is going on?”

Andromeda walked over to the bed and gave Hermione a kiss.”The final decision is yours but I have agreed to let Bella, Cissa and Fleur pursue a relationship with you.”

“What does that mean? Are you breaking up with me?”Hermione asked.

“Of course not darling. I would never break up with you.”Andromeda wouldn’t even consider breaking up with Hermione.”If you agreed you would be in a relationship with all four us.”

“How would that even work?”Hermione wasn’t against the idea. She felt connected to both Narcissa and Bellatrix when she met them at the manor. Even when Bellatrix was effected by the horcrux Hermione was drawn to her. Narcissa she had seen the despair and pain in her eyes when Hermione was taken to the parlor in Malfoy Manor and Hermione had felt the need to do everything she could to save Narcissa. It was the reason she killed Lucius instead of attacking Bellatrix when she had the chance. As for Fleur Hermione had felt a fondness for the Veela ever since she met her at Hogwarts.

“We will figure it out along the way. I just ask that you give us a chance.”Narcissa was annoyed she couldn’t hear Hermione’s thoughts but when she really thought about it it would make perfect sense for her to end up with someone with a silent mind. Who better to have peaceful moments with than someone who wasn’t projecting everything they were thinking all the time.

“I am not opposed but I am still unsure.”Hermione wouldn’t push them away but she wasn’t sure how it would work out.

“We will make it worth it I promise.”Fleur was extremely happy that Hermione was giving them a chance.

“We have more important things to worry about in the mean time.”Hermione said.

“Yes we do and one of those things is I know where a horcrux is.”Bellatrix told her.

“Are you talking about the one in the Lestrange vault?”Hermione asked her.

“How did you know about that?”Bellatrix was positive no one but her and the Dark Lord knew about it.

“You told me.”Seeing her confusion Hermione explained.”When you saw I had the sword you kept asking me where I got it? When I didn’t answer you moved on from that question to what else I took from your vault. As you got more violent every time you asked that question and I didn’t answer I figured that the Dark Lord gave you one of his horcruxes and you put in your vault. I mean it was a pretty smart idea to give a horcrux to a horcrux. The only thing I don’t know is if it’s the cup or the diadem.”

Andromeda shook her head.”Of course you had it all figured out.”

“I’m not surprised.”Fleur had expected Hermione to know about it.

“It’s the cup and with you having access to the Lestrange vault we can get it and destroy it.”Narcissa told her.

“Me having the access to the vault will make this a lot easier then my original plan of using poly juice potion to become Rodolphus and breaking into the vault.”Hermione was happy she didn’t have to do that.

“You were going to break into Gringotts?”Seeing Hermione nod her head Andromeda was now very glad that Hermione got the title.

“I’m almost sad we don’t get to do that.”Bellatrix would have enjoyed breaking into the bank.”It would have been a fun adventure.”

“A fun adventure that would have likely gotten us all killed.”Narcissa didn’t think they would have made it out alive if they broke into the bank.

“The ultimate adventure will be happening as soon as I am back to normal because I am ready to end the war.”Hermione had a few more things to do but it would end soon one way or another.

“What do you mean by that?”Fleur asked.

“The diadem is at Hogwarts. After the cup is destroyed I’m going to go after it. The Dark Lord will likely be alerted by his people that I’m there and try to stop me personally. I overheard some rumblings that he thinks I’m the one the prophecy is about. That means he will want to kill me. So I predict he will bring himself and his army to Hogwarts for a final battle.”Hermione told them.

“What is this prophesy about? I heard mention of one and your name was brought up a couple time in regards to it but I thought it was just the Dark Lord’s followers making things up to explain your successes.”Narcissa had thought the prophesy was just a story.

“The prophesy was one of Sybil’s predictions. It was overheard by Dumbledore and Snape.”Andromeda smiled when Bellatrix huffed.

“That slimy rat. I still don’t think he is really on the Dark Lord’s side.”Bellatrix didn’t trust Snape.

“He’s not. He’s a plant by Dumbledore who used his love of Lily Potter to manipulate him into protecting Harry. Harry being who Dumbledore thought the prophesy was about.”Hermione had seen the memories of Snape giving reports to the old man.

“I knew it.”Bellatrix was happy that she was right.”Back to the prophesy.”

“The prophesy talks about two people. One being the Dark Lord. The other person no one properly identified. It states that basically only one person can kill the Dark Lord and in return the Dark Lord is only one who can kill that person. Dumbledore assumed it is about Harry because his parents killed the Dark Lord in the first war dying in the process and saving Harry. The Dark Lord likely thinks it’s about me because I’m the destroying his horcruxes. I however think the prophesy is talking about Bellatrix.”Hermione told them.

“Why would you think it was about Bella?”Andromeda asked.

“As a horcrux the Dark Lord can’t die unless Bellatrix dies. Usually horcruxes can only be destroyed by the person whose soul it contains. Meaning that the Dark Lord is the only one who would be able to kill Bellatrix. Or in the case of it being a person Bellatrix could have killed herself. Thus killing the Dark Lord. What the prophesy didn’t take into account was me being able to destroy the horcrux without killing Bellatrix.”Hermione explained.

Narcissa thought it through.”I think you are right. Prophesies are convoluted and often times don’t come true the way people expect them to. It would make sense that Bella would be who the prophesy was talking about.”

“I agree Bellatrix being a horcrux would fit the person the prophesy is talking about.”Fleur could easily see Bellatrix being the person in the prophesy.

“I’m just thankful that I am no longer a horcrux.”Bellatrix did not miss having someone else’s soul inside her at all.

“So that means that after we destroy the last three horcruxes the Dark Lord will become mortal and anyone can kill him.”Andromeda was liking their odds of winning a lot more.

“Yes, but it won’t be easy. He has the elder wand. Although it doesn’t answer to him.”Hermione told them.

“What do you mean it doesn’t answer to him?”Narcissa didn’t like the idea of the Dark Lord having the elder wand.

“Dumbledore owned it but when Rodolphus killed him that ownership magically transferred to him. The Dark Lord didn’t win the wand he simply took it. That means the wand isn’t really his.”Hermione didn’t think the Dark Lord knew that however.

“Wait if Rodolphus was the owner and you killed him that means the wand is really yours?”Fleur asked Hermione.

“Yes and it doesn’t matter if someone kills the Dark Lord the wand will only fully answer to me.”Hermione was planning on taking possession of the wand at the first opportunity.

“Then you will have completed the Deathly Hallows.”Seeing Hermione’s confused expression Narcissa explained.”Andy told us about the stone and the cloak.”

“How did you get the cloak?”Bellatrix didn’t think that Hermione a Muggleborn would have had access to such a thing.

“Harry’s father James left it to Harry when he died. James also left him a magical map that he created with Sirius and a few of their friends when they were at Hogwarts. One day Harry was bragging about them in the common room and although I didn’t know about the Deathly Hallows at the time I knew both items would be useful. So I waited until everyone was at breakfast and I went into Harry’s room and stole them. Dumbledore made a big deal out of them going missing but no one ever suspected me.”Hermione didn’t think anyone but the four women in the room with her knew she did it.

“He kept the cloak unprotected?”Fleur wouldn’t have left it lying around.

“I don’t think he knew what it was. He was brought up by Muggles like I was and hasn’t put in any effort to live up to his parent’s name. In school he barely passed his classes only getting by due to Dumbledore’s influence. The reason he is allowed at meetings is because some of the Order members are still loyal to Dumbledore and they vouch for him.”Hermione had no respect for Harry.

“I had wondered why Harry and the Weasleys were at the meeting. It seemed like everyone was annoyed by them.”Bellatrix said.

“They are annoyed by them but they have seniority by being involved in the first war. That includes their children as well. They aren’t trusted to go on important missions however.”Andromeda told her.

“That being a huge complaint of all of them.”Fleur had heard many arguments between the Weasleys and the others over their role in fighting the Dark Lord.

“The one time they trusted Ron and Harry to do anything the pair of them ended up arrested by aurors and they had to break them out of the ministry.”Hermione had not been involved in that rescue mission.

Bellatrix laughed.”And Harry thinks you are going to let him try and kill the Dark Lord?!”

“I honestly would be surprised if Harry showed up for the fight at all and if he did I doubt he would survive it.”Andromeda could guarantee Harry would die if he tried to fight.

“He will probably show up after it’s over and try to take the credit for winning.”Fleur would expect no less from Harry.

“He is already trying to take credit for destroying the horcruxes.”Andromeda said.

“How is he doing that?”Narcissa asked.

“He is telling everyone that Dumbledore and he figured out what they were and their locations and he told Hermione. That and how to destroy them. Nobody believes him even though some people wish it were true. That way Hermione wouldn’t get credit for it.”Andromeda knew that Harry was just a jealous boy.

“I would gladly let someone else take my place. I just can’t trust anyone to actually do the job.”Hermione would happily step back and let someone else take over.

Andromeda leaned over and gave Hermione another kiss.”You being the only one who can fulfill that role is something that brings me a lot a guilt.”

“It brings a lot of people guilt.”Fleur felt horrible that Hermione had been put in the position she was in.

“Well now she isn’t alone anymore. With the four of us helping her we are going to bring an end to this war.”Narcissa wasn’t going to let Hermione go off on her own again.

“How are you going to change the wards on the Malfoy estates?”Bellatrix asked.

“I just need to go to the main family manor and adjust the ward stones that are there. They control the wards over all the properties the family owns.”Hermione told her.

“Are there ward stones for the Black family?”Andromeda had never heard of her family having some.

”They are at Black family manor. I adjusted them after Sirius died and kicked the Order out of Grimmauld Place.”Hermione didn’t want the dirtbags in her home.

“I thought that they magically reset when Sirius died and that’s the reason they couldn’t use it anymore.”Fleur had thought that’s what she had been told.

“No, I just hate the Order and didn’t want them to benefit from my family. Sirius was of the same opinion but since they used it during the first war he went along with it. His hatred of them was also why he never gave them any gold no matter what reason they came to him asking for it.”Hermione had declined to give them any financial support either.

“If he hated them why was he a member?”Narcissa was happy that the Order wasn’t benefiting from her family. They didn’t deserve to.

“He joined during the first war and he told me that the people involved were decent then. They strived to do good and actually made a difference. However most of them died in the war or didn’t want to get involved in a second one. He also was pretty bitter that he was put in Azkaban and nobody fought for him to get a trial. So he only respected a few people involved now. The rest of them he told me not to hesitate to sacrifice if I got the chance.”Hermione was planning on it.

“He told you to sacrifice your allies?”Bellatrix was very surprised to hear that.

“He told me that none of them were worth my time and if they were in trouble don’t go out of my way to save them. Especially if saving them part me at risk. I personally think if they would have respected me more he would have liked them better. That wasn’t going to happen though. The Order is full of a bunch of blowhards who are to busy patting each other the back congratulating each other for being heroes to get anything done. I blame them for Sirius’ death. That being the reason I didn’t invite many of them to the funeral.”Hermione didn’t want their fake grief anywhere near the event.

“You were really close to Sirius weren’t you?”Narcissa asked.

“He was the father I never had. At first he didn’t know what to make of me because he couldn’t understand why a stranger would have more faith in him than his own godson and so-called allies but the more time we spent together the more we talked and the closer we became. He confided in me a lot and I was the one who helped him cope with the metal trauma that spending over a decade in Azkaban inflicted on him. He suffered from nightmares and sometimes when I knew he hadn’t slept properly for a few days I would sneak out of Hogwarts and visit him. When there I would sleep in his bed and he would hold while he slept. He told me that having me there made him feel safe enough to sleep because he knew that I would protect him.”Hermione treasured her time with Sirius.

“And it was never romantic between you two?”Bellatrix didn’t know how she felt about her cousin sleeping in bed with Hermione.

“No never. Not only did I never see him like that but Sirius was very gay.”Hermione told her.

“You never told me that.”Andromeda didn’t know Sirius was gay.

“He didn’t want anyone to know. He wasn’t ashamed of it but he knew that he would lose respect from the others. He also wasn’t dating anyone at the time so it didn’t make it important to tell people.”Hermione was fully supportive of keeping Sirius’ secret.”I shouldn’t be telling any of you now but I don’t want you to misinterpret my relationship with him.”

“I’m not surprised that we didn’t know. In our family being homosexual was a death sentence. I honestly think that our family would be less angry if we had a child with a muggle than us being in a same sex relationship.”Narcissa had never brought up her preferences because of that.

“Did all of you know you were gay when you were younger?”Fleur wondered what type of life the sisters lived before the Dark Lord came along.

“I did and I acted on it. That stopped after I got the Dark Mark. I married Rod a week later but we never had sex. He had affairs but I was never interested. I think it was because of the horcrux. I didn’t have any other interest than the Dark Lord.”Bellatrix hadn’t even considered having sex with anyone while she had the horcrux inside of her.

“I did as well but unlike Bella I didn’t have the chance to act on it before I was married off to Lucius. The first year of our marriage he was adamant that I give him an heir but after Draco was born he left me alone. I couldn’t have affairs because of the magic that was used to bind us together so there hasn’t been anyone for me.”Narcissa wasn’t sad about that. She preferred waiting until her husband was dead before starting a relationship with someone else.

“I always considered myself bisexual because of Ted but when I started to get close to Hermione I realized that Ted was just a way for me to get away from my family and the arranged marriage they were trying to force me into. Not that Ted’s reasons for marrying me were any better. He liked the idea of a pureblood woman turning her back on their family to be with him. It did wonders for his ego. I don’t regret marrying him of course because it gave me Dora but we were just going through the motions. We never really loved each other. After I realized that I knew that I was a lesbian.”Andromeda wouldn’t change a thing because of how everything turned out. She had a wonderful daughter and incredible girlfriend who gave her back her sisters. Life was good.

“Veela only mate with other women. We are physically unable to have sex with men. Our bodies aren’t compatible with them. Because of that we have no need for labels as our entire species are considered lesbians.”Fleur had been very confused the first time a girl had introduced her to her boyfriend. It had to be explained to her multiple times how a man and a woman had sex because it was that outrageous to her.

“I have only been interested in Andromeda so I think I would label myself as a lesbian.”Hermione didn’t really think about who she was attracted to.

“That’s because you have a cougar fetish.”Andromeda smiled when Hermione blushed.

“What does that mean?”Bellatrix wanted to know why Hermione was blushing.

“A cougar is a muggle word for an older women who dates people a lot younger than themselves.”Andromeda had learned the phrase from her daughter.

“I still need to kill Dora for teaching you that.”Hermione grumbled.

“I think that is my favorite thing to have ever been called.”Narcissa would proudly be called a cougar. It was a lot better than the other things people said about her.

“Well it’s a good thing you have that fetish pet because you now have three of them to keep you occupied.”Bellatrix made a note to ask her niece about other muggle sayings that would embarrass Hermione.

“And a very energetic Veela who will be happy to take up some of your time.”Fleur wasn’t going to let herself be left out.

“I have a feeling that sleep is going to be a rare occurrence from now on.”Hermione didn’t know if she would have the energy for four lovers.

“Don’t worry we will keep you caffeinated.”Andromeda would have to stock up on the muggle energy drinks Hermione enjoyed.

“So what is the plan going forward?”Bellatrix asked.

“Hermione needs to rest and recover before we do anything.”Narcissa wasn’t going to let Hermione leave the property until she was a hundred percent better.

“She should be better in a few days.”Andromeda told her.

“That will give us time to come up with a plan to get the cup.”Fleur said.

“Did you ever tell him where you put it?”Hermione wanted to know if the cup was in danger.

Bellatrix shook her head.”I almost positive he didn’t ask me.”

“He likely would have thought she would protect it with her life so he wasn’t worried about it.”Narcissa wouldn’t have worried if she was the Dark Lord.

“Good then he won’t be destroying the bank to get to it.”Hermione was relieved he didn’t know. It gave her time to recover.

“Do you think we are safe here or should we relocate?”Bellatrix asked.

Hermione thought about it.”I think we should relocate because it will be known far and wide that not only am I here but Narcissa and Bellatrix as well by the end of the day. Especially because Molly, Ron, Bill and Harry will bring it up in front of Percy and he will tell the Dark Lord.”

“I told you she knew.”Andromeda was not surprised at all that Hermione knew about Percy.

“If you knew why didn’t you say anything? I mean Percy goes to Order meetings sometimes.”Fleur would have thought that would have been brought up.

“It wasn’t worth the headache or the fight that would break out if I told them. Molly would never have admitted it even though I am positive she knows and the rest of the Order would side with them because of their embarrassment at not catching on. That and the Order doesn’t talk about any sensitive information. Their meetings are all about how amazing and brave each member is. Think about it. When was the last time the Order actually sent people on a mission that accomplished anything?”Hermione asked.

Andromeda didn’t have to think about it.”Never. Every time they do something it either goes wrong or it’s so minor it doesn’t effect the tides of the war at all.”

“That’s true. Even my mission here. I was suppose to keep this as a safe house and be ready for emergencies. Instead they had Bill move in here bringing with him his mother, Ron and Harry. I actually heard Molly talking to Bill about the additions they were planning to put on the house so the rest of the Weasley family could live here.”Fleur had been outraged when she heard them speaking.

“I’m surprised you didn’t kick him out a long time ago.”Narcissa wouldn’t have put up with the Weasleys if she didn’t have to.

“I had put in numerous requests for him to be reassigned but nothing came out of it. I went through with it today because Minerva, Andromeda and Hermione were here. I knew each of them would back me up.”Fleur had been right of course. Hermione taught her how to properly alter her wards to keep anyone she wanted out. Be it a group of people or a specific person.

“I don’t get why Bill thought you would allow his family to live here. You aren’t even dating.”Hermione said.

“We discovered while you were resting that Bill had been using love potions on Fleur since he moved in her.”Bellatrix told her.

Hermione laughed.”Doesn’t he know that love potions and all other potions that are made for humans don’t work on Veela?”

“How did you know that?”Fleur thought that was a closely guarded secret.

“You weren’t the only Veela I talked to at Hogwarts.”Hermione had spoken to a few.

Fleur frowned at the thought of Hermione speaking to other Veela.”Who else did you talk to?”

“Collette, Valerie, Frances and Isabella.”Hermione told her.

“They never mentioned that.”Fleur had made it well known amongst her flock mates that she was interested in Hermione. That being the case they should have told her about their friendship with the girl.

“I helped Collette with her English, Valerie I taught to swim in the Black Lake, Frances was hopeless in transfiguration so I tutored her and Isabella and I shared a love of French poetry. We would spend time reading to each other. I treasured my time with each of them.”Hermione had enjoyed their friendships.”I still get letters every now and then from them but it’s been hard sending one back with how busy I am and not always being in a place I can send a letter.”

Fleur growled.”They knew how I felt about you and they still pursued you!!”

“I don’t know anything about pursuing me but they did tell me they enjoyed the fact that I wasn’t effected by their thrall. I think that is why they sought out my company.”Hermione didn’t think it was anything romantic.

Andromeda shook her head fondly.”Seriously Hermione you wouldn’t know if someone was interested in you unless they told you outright and even then it would take multiple confessions for you to believe it.”

“That’s not true. I knew you were interested in me the first time we met.”Hermione said.

“Yes you did but only after I kissed you and asked you to go out on date with me.”Andromeda reminded her.

“Wait you kissed Hermione the first time you met her?”Bellatrix wanted to hear how that came about.

“I had heard all kinds of stories about Hermione and all the amazing things she was doing. I was impressed that a muggleborn who we were told our whole lives were inferrer to us was leading the Light side against the Dark Lord. What really got me interested in her though was speaking to Sirius. Our cousin gushed about Hermione every time I talked to him. Telling me about how wonderful she was, how incredible her magical knowledge was and that she was an extremely powerful magic user. As we all know Sirius isn’t one to hand out praises to anyone. Not even himself so I was even more intrigued. The first Order meeting Hermione went to I was in attendance. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Hermione took over and put everyone in their places. She at one point cast a silencing spell on Molly to shut her up.”Andromeda smiled when the others laughed.

“We should have done that for our meeting.”Narcissa would remember it for next time.

“Well when the other Weasleys came to their mother’s defense Hermione restrained Ron and silenced him as well, then did the same to Harry. The old timers didn’t appreciate that and tried to bully her into obeying them. Hermione of course wasn’t intimidated and offered to duel the best duelist of the group for the rights to the leadership position.”Andromeda told them.

“I still hate the fact I was not at that meeting.”Fleur had heard about it but did not witness it.

“So what happened?”Bellatrix thought challenging them to a duel was a smart move on Hermione’s part.

“They picked Moody to go against her. The man was cocky and made vulgar comments the entire time but in the end it didn’t matter. Hermione wiped the floor with him. Not only did she take his wand but she took is mechanical eye. Then she refused to give them back until Moody formally apologized to her for the comments he made and that he had to admit she was the better dueler. He tried to rally the others to get his eye and wand back but everyone was too scared of Hermione to do anything. In the end Moody apologized and admitted Hermione was the better dueler. That also started Hermione taking the leadership role in the Order.”Andromeda was extremely proud of Hermione’s actions.

“I would have loved to see Moody apologize to anyone. It would be even better to see him admit someone else was a better dueler than him.”Narcissa had no use for men like Moody. He had no respect for women and had made comments to Narcissa about her body and what he wanted to do with it every time he saw her.

“How did that lead to you kissing her?”Fleur asked.

“After the fight Hermione took over the meeting and laid into everyone. She was so commanding not letting anyone get a word in edge wise. I was completely in awe of her. Once she dismissed everyone they hurried out the door as quickly as they could leaving only Hermione, myself, Sirius, Minerva, Lupin and Amelia behind. Hermione excused herself from us and after a couple minutes I excused myself as well. I searched for her and found her in the library looking at the family tapestry. When I approached her she began talking about how she was working on a way to have Sirius reinstate me into the family. I didn’t even know it was an option but there Hermione was talking about how me being kicked out was unfair. When she turned to look at me with fire in her eyes and promised that she would not rest until I was reunited with my family I fell completely in love with her. That spurred me into action and before I even knew what I was doing my arms were around neck and I was kissing her.”It was one of the greatest kisses Andromeda had ever experienced.

“How did you react pet?”Bellatrix was curious to know how Hermione would respond to someone kissing her.

“I may be inexperienced but I’m not stupid. As soon as I realized what was going on I kissed her back with just as much passion.”Hermione told her.

“You weren’t concerned that a person you didn’t know was kissing you?”Narcissa would think Hermione would have been hesitant.

“I knew of Andy’s history and reputation. So she wasn’t that much of a stranger. It was actually my plan to talk to her at some point about rejoining the family. As to her kissing me why would I be concerned that an incredibly sexy woman wanted to kiss me? They only things I was thinking was how did I get so lucky and how could I convince her to kiss me again.”Hermione felt like she had been blessed by gods when Andromeda kissed her.

“I was thinking the same thing.”Andromeda loved hearing Hermione call her sexy. It was obvious Hermione meant it and it puffed up Andromeda’s ego to have her young attractive lover think that about her body. 

Before anyone could reply Hermione’s stomach growled”I think I’m hungry”

“Being hungry is a good sign you are getting better.”Fleur said.

“I will make you something. Then while you are eating we can discuss where to relocate to because you are right the Weasleys will have screamed our location far and wide by now.”Andromeda wasn’t happy with having to move Hermione but it wouldn’t be safe at the cottage anymore.

“If we are going to relocate then I need to pack.”Fleur had things that she didn’t want to chance getting stolen or destroyed.”I also want to go through Bill’s room to see if he stole any of my stuff.”

“I think it would be fun to go through Bill’s stuff. Anything we find I can use as topics to bring up to embarrass him and make him mad.”Hermione wouldn’t mind going though Bill’s belongings.

“How about this? We set up a lounge chair in Bill’s room and you can watch us go through it while you eat.”Bellatrix suggested. She wanted to see what Bill was hiding as well.

“It’s settled I’ll get a chair set up for Hermione.”Narcissa volunteered making her way out of the room. She was going to make the chair big enough for her to sit on it with Hermione. That way she could snuggle with the girl and hopefully feed her. Narcissa was still upset that Bellatrix got to lay with her while she slept. She was positive Bellatrix cheated but couldn’t prove it. The next time they played a game for Hermione privileges she was going to cheat. If Bellatrix wasn’t going to play by the rules then she wasn’t going to either. Not that any of that mattered. What mattered was spending time with Hermione. The more she learned about her and the deeds she had done Narcissa found herself falling in love with the girl a little bit more. With Hermione agreeing to give them a chance Narcissa was going to do everything she could to prove to Hermione that Narcissa was worth loving. Narcissa didn’t think it would be to hard because Hermione already cared a lot about her. She proved it when she saved her from her husband in the parlor and by making sure that she escaped from Malfoy Manor with her and Bellatrix. If she didn’t care she could have just left her behind. Narcissa was just grateful she didn’t.
