They were so very different from each other, the complete polar opposites. But it was their differences, each clashing trait that drew them closer together. Where Bellatrix fell short it was Hermione who made up for it.

Bella was night; dark and cold, alluring and consuming. And Hermione was day; warm and bright, illuminating and vibrant.

They were like fire and water. Yin and yang. Sound and silence.

But perfectly fitting like puzzle pieces. Like the sand meeting the shore.

Utterly contrasting. In every way. Save for one.

"I love you too Bella."
