DURING THE BATTLE AT HOGWARTS – ASTRONOMY TOWER

Hermione was sitting at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the astronomy tower. Looking up she could see the stars shine bright and peaceful. But this night was anything but peaceful.

This night was horrible, people died, children died and friends died. And she knew that her best friend was on his way to the dark forest, facing his own death in order to protect his loved ones.

She sighed deep, silent tears rolling down her cheeks. She tried to fight them. She knew it wasn't the right time to fall apart.

The battle wasn't over because Voldemort was still alive and there were still two horcruxes. Although if she was right, which she usual was, one of those horcruxes was about to get destroyed, along with her best friend. So there was no time to fall apart.

'No time, no time, no time' Hermione repeated it over and over in her head, like a mantra.

She stood up, walked up the stairs and entered the astronomy classroom. She put a silencing charm on the room, opened her mouth, took a deep breath and started to scream.

"!" she screamed until her throat was soar.

During the screaming she tightened the grip on her wand. Her pain, anger and frustration was the source of her accidental magic. Almost everything in the room was breaking and then repairing itself.

After ten minutes Hermione calmed down, her breathing was almost back to normal, when she heard the door opening. Her heartbeat increased, she turned around and yelled: "STUPEFY."

But the person who entered the room deflected it with a non-verbal protego.

"Well my dearie, I was kinda hoping for a much warmer welcome. "

Hermione stood still, mouth open, staring at the woman that has been hunting her dreams for almost two years now. She couldn't believe it, what was she doing here?

" I know, I am breathtaking aren't I?" She walked inside the room and magically locked the door behind her.

"Bella? Is that really you?" Hermione asked the minute she refound her voice.

"Of course it's me. Who else would I be, you silly girl."

Hermione sprinted across the room and threw herself in the arms of her lover, Bellatrix Lestrange.

"O, Bella." She sighted and hold her tight.

She knew that Bellatrix took a huge risk finding her at this particulate moment. Not only was the whole castle eager to hurt, or worse kill her lover, but Voldemort had assigned all of his followers to retreat. And everyone knew that disobeying the dark lord would end up in being killed or tortured.

Bellatrix hugged her back and kissed the top of the younger girls head.

"Hmm, I almost forgot how perfectly you fit in my arms. And how natural it feels to have your body against mine." She whispered in Hermione's ear.

Hermione snickered and gave her a sweet and sensual kiss.

"Sweet talker."

A small smile came across her face, something only Bella could accomplish at every moment of the day. No matter how bad that day was.

"I am glad to see that you still have the ability to smile. I've always loved that smile of yours. You get this divine twinkling in your eyes. Did you know that?"

Hermione shook her head. Blushing fiercely at the compliment.

"It's that twinkling that kept hunting me after our first meeting two and a half years ago."

"I'm glad they did, because my Bella you are an incredible woman. I am so lucky to have you as my fiancée."

"Now who is the sweet talker."

They stood there for moments, just holding one another tight. They both knew that this moment would most likely be the last moment they'd ever spend together.

The older woman lifted her head and looked into the most dazzling brown eyes she had ever seen. She inhaled sharply, smelling her betrothed scent, she leaned closer and closer to those luscious lips before her. The moment their lips met an electric shock was send through their bodies. It was a shock that made Hermione weak in the knees and that made Bellatrix' arousal reach a higher level than humanly possible.

Bellatrix nibbled on her paramour's lower lip, pressing her body closer to the younger witch. Her body needed her, demanded her. And the only thing she could do was give into her primal instincts, she needed to mate with the woman in her arms.

The moment that she felt Bella's tongue begging for entrance, she opened her mouth and let her in. The sensation of the older woman's tongue against her own, battling for dominance made her even weaker in the knees. She had to clung harder on the body in front of her otherwise she was going to fall to the ground. She didn't really understand what was happening to her or to them, but the only thing she could do was submit to her lover.

Bella lifted Hermione off the floor and laid her on the ground. Still kissing her she let her hands roam over her fiancée's body, sneaking underneath her shirt. She needed her, naked, wet and panting underneath her. And she needed her now. She reached for her wand and stripped herself of her clothes.

"Ohh…" Hermione gasped when Bellatrix ripped the clothes of her body and their bodies came in contact. Her body arched up and her nipples hardened at the sensation.

Hermione's neck was the new target of the older woman's mouth and she started to suck on it hard, leaving a love mark. Tasting a little amount of blood from her lover made her crazy with want. Her hands started to wander enthusiastically over the younger woman's body ending at the soft and very sensitive flesh of her breast, squeezing her nipples hard. Hermione moaned.

Bellatrix took a moment to withdraw so she could look at her beautiful lover. "I want you! I want you so badly."

"Then please by all means, take me."

And take her she did, she took her hard and she took her fast. Until the younger woman was screaming her name during the most intense orgasm she ever had.

After their passionate lovemaking Hermione laid in the arms of her older lover. Bellatrix gently stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head.

"I don't want this to end, ever." Hermione whispered with fear in her voice. "I can't lose you Bella, you are my heart, my everything. You have to go, you have to hide. You have to be somewhere safe."

"Baby." Bellatrix sighed. "We've talked about this, I am not going anywhere without you. I can't leave when I know the love of my life is risking her life. I have to be here, protecting you."

Bellatrix lifted Hermione's chin up and kissed her on the lips with sweet adoration.

"I have to go. Don't forget that I love you."

And with that Bellatrix apparated out of the castle. Leaving Hermione behind naked, whispering a soft. "I love you too."
