Parting of the Blood
By Wild Artemis
Disclaimer: First off this is my first story, I own nothing but a couple characters and the original ideas. During this story you will see me utilizing 3 franchises (TV show Merlin, Resident Evil, and lastly characters from Harry Potter). I have been working on adding new stuff on the flashbacks over the last 9 months or so. Hope you enjoy my story! Also, all reviews are welcome.
Italized words are the people speaking
This starts off two weeks before the final battle (though I changed the year to this one instead of 1998)
As the rain pours down on a hauntingly dark figure can be seen quickly racing down a gravel path that leads to the front steps of Malfoy manor. Lightning strikes in the distance illuminating the figure of one Rudolphus Lestrange. Pushing quickly through the heavy front door while continuing his fast pace he sheds his outer coat off and promptly throws it onto a tiny shivering elf, which is harshly knocked over by the large soaking coat. Without sparring a glance at the elf his urgent pace continues to his destination. Pounding loudly on the door leading to the throne room, causes the sounds reverberates throughout the normally quite hallways.
A low hissed Enter can be just heard ringing from inside the other room. Slowly the door swings open revealing the one and only Peter Pettigrew.
Peering down his nose at the weak man Rudolphus pushes past him with a heavy sneer adorning his face. Once in front of his lord Rudolphus lowers his head and bows deeply at the waist to the man sitting regally at the head of the long table. After several long seconds a loud annoyed Rise Rudolphus and tell me why you have requested me and the rest of the death eaters here tonight, and this better be good I have more important plans then chasing a fools' rambles, could be heard coming from the Dark Lord.
The once cocky man answers his lord as he stutters over himself Master, I have horrible and important news for you and the rest to hear.
Looking down his nose at the imbecilic of a man this better be worth it Rudolphus or you will be crucioed for your constant uselessness. Go on now and tell us what so important states Voldemort with a wave of his hand.
Master there is a traitor among your ranks states Rudolphus boldly with a smile that reflects the true madness within the man shinning bright on his face.
A look of pure agitation and anger passes the lords interested face before This better not be a lie or your suffering will be so much greater than a simple Cruico Rudolphus can be heard by all in the room.
With a slight gulp Rudolphus gathers his courage and pushes forward allowing the glee of his information transform his face back into the madding look.
Turning as to look at Bellatrix as he spits out The traitor among us my lord is someone so close to you that you have missed the treachery of your most loyal servant and my ex-wife Bellatrix.
A few deadly quiet seconds later Bellatrix's insane cackle rings out from the seat closest to her lord, you lying piece of dragon shite me his most loyal a traitor are you mad? Don't answer that clearly this accusations answers that for itself, sneers Bellatrix with a look of her own inner madness and hate shining through her near black eyes.
Calm yourself Bellatrix states Voldermort while keeping his eyes trained on the man in front of him. Now Rudolphus why would you bring these lies before me knowing how you will suffer?
My lord I speak the truth I followed her one night and found out what a lying whore she really is, if you don't believe me my lord I implore you to check her memories I will gladly die if I'm proven wrong.
Hearing this Voldemort's ever-growing paranoia breaks through his logical thought of his most loyal. Bellatrix I'm going to view into your mind and you can finally kill your useless ex once this is done.
Smiling gleefully Bellatrix nods all the while Rudolphus was talking Bellatrix was bringing up her strongest defenses around her mind. Diving violently into her mind Voldemort searches for anything that could make back Rudolphus claims and make him believe that she had been disloyal to him. Just moments away from retreating from Bellatrix's mind, Rudolphus finally realizes that the look of concentration on Bella's face is her actively keeping the Dark Lord from seeing the truth that she has hidden deep in her mind. Quickly he decides to strike her with a surprisingly strong crucio which makes her lose concentration on the walls she had been maintaining to protect those deep memories. With this now clear crack shining like a beaken on a wall Voldemort starts to violently ripe through all the images that flash before his eyes.
FLASHBACK to 1984 at Hogwarts
The memory slowly fades into, a young curly raven-haired teen that can be seen straightening her Slytherin head girl pin, green and sliver striped tie that stand out against her black robes while she waits for the stone gargoyle to move from guarding the passage to a familiar set of stairs. Walking up the tiredly up the stairs the raven-haired girl is curious what the headmaster could want with her. Upon reaching the top she takes a deep breath before she knocks heavily on the ancient wooden door. After a few long seconds the door has swing's open with a loud creak revealing Dumbledore dressed in his normal light grey and purple robes sitting behind in the headmaster's desk popping lemon drop into his mouth. Seeing the young girl, the older man slowly stands and walks from behind the corner of the massive desk with a genuine smile breaks across the man's face as a twinkle lightens up his blue grey eyes.
Motioning to the tall wingback chairs located front of a comfortable looking roaring fire Bella come please sit and have a set. Would you like a lemon drop or some tea?
With a slow shake of no indicating that she does not wish to partake in the sour lemon treats a blanket of curls fall and covers the look of confusion, and nerves that can be seen on the girl's face.
Stealing her nerves with a deep breath Bella quickly releases her first question Why am I here professor? If you think I'm the one responsible for those Gryffindor's who were stupid enough to get hurt then your gonna have to look somewhere else because I had nothing to do with that sneers Bellatrix looking very much like a spoiled child.
Taking a long few seconds to look directly into the young woman's eyes Albus face slowly grows serious before taking a deep breath replying Bellatrix I've asked you here tonight because there is a war brewing that will rip apart the wizarding world and possibly expose use to the muggles. But this is not the only reason I wanted you here I asked you here to fight or better yet spy for the light side which is called the Order of the Phoenix.
If there is such a violent war coming why do you need me to fight for you? Isn't there enough strong witches and wizards out there who will fight on your "light" side in the upcoming war you speak of, asks the curious curly haired teen with her eyebrow raised.
With a deep breath and a meaningful look Dumbledore answered I know that recently your father has introduced you to a very charming man who goes by the name Lord Voldemort. He has preached that he wishes to destroy all who are not of pureblood and those who do not hold up the same old pureblooded believes.
Breaking the lock eye, the girl takes a long consider the fire and questions Why should I care about those with filthy blood and blood traitors? They are beneath me.
Raising a bushy eyebrow while still staring at the girl the old man says, Bellatrix do you really want to be on the opposite side of the war than Andromeda when this all breaks out? With a jerk of her head she looks up from the fire with a very startled expression.
After receiving this look the old man answers Yes, Miss Black I'm aware that your sister Andromeda is with the young Tonks boy. I'm also aware that you are very happy she has found someone who loves her for herself and will to take her away from the suffering that you and your sisters have dealt with all your lives.
Looking away at the ground this time Bellatrix sighs I'm going to end up on a side that is different from one of my sisters regardless of which side I choose. Malfoy has recently been introduced to Tom as well, and he is completely on board with whatever the man says he acts like the man is the next Merlin. Narcissa's arranged marriage to him guarantees that she will be stuck on that side just by marriage alone. So, as you can see either way I'm going to be separated from one of them and can't do anything to protect them both she finishes with a sound of frustration.
A soft knowing smile forms on the old man's face What if I told you there was away for you to protect Andromeda but be with Narcissa at the same time?
Looking deep in thought the girl, turns with the question of how this will be accomplished showing clearly on her face.
Before she's able to utter a single word of how, Dumbledore begins to talk I would like you to be a spy for the Order of the Phoenix. We both know you will be a part of his inner circle as well as Malfoy. With both of your families following him, the two of you he will be able fund his war chest for years to come. Plus, you both are influential in the younger pureblood society and this is due not only because your wealth but also how smart and powerful in you both are in your own rights. With you in this position of power and access to information you will be able to stay and protect Narcissa physically and can pass information that will intern protect Andromeda. Giving the girl time to think on what he just said, Dumbledore continues with popping his beloved lemon drops into his consistently squinting face. I'll do it but you have to allow me to tell my sisters what I will be doing says the girl with fierce passion in her eyes.
I'm sorry Bellatrix but you must understand that I can't allow you do that, especially with Narcissa being right in the middle of where the inner circle will be declares the man with a sad look.
Then I won't do it, I won't allow Andy to ever think I could hate her I could never hate her for being happy and getting away from our own Hell. And me trying to keep a secret from Cissy is a lost cause. I don't know how she finds out things but she somehow always does. It's like she's the best unknown legilimens that's ever lived says the girl.
Thinking for a few long seconds the old man sighs Ok, Miss Black I will allow you to tell Andromeda everything that is going on, but she must be sworn to secrecy with a Fidelus Charm and I will become the secret keeper for her. Narcissa will have to receive a binder as well, but I wish for her to have an Unbreakable Vow I will bind her to me like Andromeda. I will also teach her how to strengthen her shields around her mind. I have noticed that she has natural strong shield but with my teaching she will be so strong she will have the ability to show those trying to break in what she wants them to see without anyone noticing.
Listening to every word the old man tells her a proud smirk starts to break slowly across her face as she sticks her hand out to the old man and says one single binding word Deal.
FLASHBACKS Several Months
In the middle of a field of high grass a large bond fire can be seen reaching to the sky in center of ancient stone pillars forming a circle that are acting as a natural protector to the people dressed in black in the center.
Tom Riddle stands in his deep purple robes with a group of people in black robes horseshoeing out around him Welcome friends we have two new death eaters joining our ranks tonight Bellatrix Black and Lucius Malfoy. Bellatrix has proven her loyalty through her devastatingly powerful crucio on an Unspeakable who tried to stop her as she gained access into the Department of Mystery. Lucius proved his worthiness by using his influence in the minister to help promote the Causes message to the repressed Purebloods due to this filthy Ministers views on blood class. Is there anyone in this circle of "friends" that do not believe the two have earned their marks?
Taking a long second to look from face to face observing any reaction of his loyal members would speak out against his newest choices. Stopping on Rudolphus he can see the anger the man is portraying to his fiancée.
Taking a quick second to peer into his mind he hears the man's thoughts Stupid whore shouldn't be allowed in the ranks, what can a woman do? She should only be servicing me!
Pulling out of the idiot's mind Tom decides he needs to keep Rudolphus thoughts in mind when the man tries to throw doubt on the woman.
After pulling out of the angry man's mind Tom takes a deep breath and speaks once more Bella, Lucius raise your left arms so you can bear my mark for all to see.
The two teens slowly approach the man dressed in deep purple robles and slowly kneel before him.
Raise, your left arms so your can receive your rewards slowly raising their arms at the same time the quite spell casting can be heard coming from Tom as the mark starts to slowly appear on their arms at the same time.
Both recipient's face's stay stony however only Lucius's eyes reveal the pain they both are going through to their new Dark Lord.
As he finishes the spell his voice rings out again Friends lets welcome our newest members to our family both rise a little unsteady upon their feet and turn to the crowd who burst out with loud cheers.
Many of the men approach Bella as the others approach Lucius for handshakes and back pats.
Months of memories fly by the Dark Lords eyes until he again stops
Bella can be seen pulling up her hood over her face as she quickly sneaks away from Lestrange Manor in the middle of the night. Once she reaches the gate she quickly pushes through it and turns on the spot and disappears with a pop. Quickly reappearing she looks up at the outside of a dark building where her cousin Sirius is waiting for her.
With a giant smile breaking across his face Sirius greets Bella with an excited Hello, cousin it's been a long time since you were last here.
With a loud laugh Bella answers Sirius it's only been a week since we have last seen each other,
Ha-ha, you are right as always Bella, but you know I miss seeing you more often than that. Well, come on in Dumbledore and the others are here waiting for your weekly update on what's going on with team gloom and doom. Answers with a laugh and a smile.
As they walk into the hold home another dark-haired beauty approaches the duo at a fast pace walk, quickly colliding and throwing her arms around Bella Oh Bella thank Merlin, your safe when I heard that you had been hurt I almost lost my mind and stormed the manor.
While bearing her face into the brown curly hair Bella quietly says, Andy you should know that some newcomer Auror isn't enough to take me down.
With her head thrown back Andromeda laughs deep from inside her, she drops her face back down right into Bella's face with a smile on her face Your right sis, you're the big bad "death eater", but now let's go get you something to eat before sending you into the meeting.
After sitting at the table chatting with Andy about small things Bella finally finishes her food and moves into the large sitting room where the rest of the Order is waiting for the update about what this new plan from Voldemort is.
Good evening Ms. Black I will let you get right on to the matter of business. Greets Dumbledore with a small smile showing at the corner of his mouth.
Thank you, Dumbledore Bella responses. Taking a deep breath Bellatrix starts while looking toward the Longbottom's So the Dark Lord has heard a prophecy that talks about a boy being born at the end of July who can topple him. He has received information that the Potters and Longbottom's have such boys. He has revealed that he will be going to take care of one of these children in 3 days, but he hasn't reveled which one he himself is going to go after but I'm leaning toward the Longbottom's since they are both Auror's and would be the more logical choice for him to have the "stronger" opponents.
Sitting in dead silence the group all were trying to think of ways to help the two families but also thanking Merlin that their children weren't in the cross hairs of Voldemort.
Ok, so with this new information we will to make secret keepers and send the Longbottom's and Potters into hiding. And have groups staged at the homes to fight the death eaters and Voldemort when they appear Sirius offers up.
Your right Sirius that's a great plan Replies Lupin.
With the new information laid out in front of them, groups start breaking out to make individual plans for both places. As these groups form Bellatrix lets out a deep breath and turns to Andy who is waiting by the door with a cup of hot tea for her.
Come on love you need a cuppa says Andy with a small smile on her face.
Andy, that cuppa looks amazing sighs Bella.
What are you going to do the night they go after the families? asks a curious Andy.
I plan on going with the death eaters, least this way I can take out whatever idiots are charged with that part. Smiles Bellatrix. After finishing her tea Bella hugs her sister and walks out the door to head back to the Manor.
Time shift 3 nights later
The baby Harry defeated the Dark Lord. Rudolphus and Rabastan break into the Longbottom's home and start to torture them for information on what happened to their Dark Lord. After realizing the two men had went after the Longbottom's Bella disappears with a pop to the house to try and stop the two men. Coming into the home she sees a zombie eyed Frank looking at Alice as she is being raped by Rudolphus. Not hearing the woman enter both take a powerful stunning spell to their backs. Rushing over and picking up Alice's head Bella observes that the woman is in the same state that her husband is in.
Oh, Alice I'm so sorry I wasn't here sooner says Bella with tears coming down her face. Hearing a baby crying Bella races up the stairs to check on little Neville. Wiping the tears away before going into the nursery, Bella slowly enters the room and walks to the crib where the little baby is sitting up crying.
Hi, handsome are you hungry? questions Bella in a soft voice.
Seeing one of his favorite people baby Neville smiles up and lifts his arms to be picked up. Lifting the baby Bella bounces and makes baby noises at the boy as she Accios a baby bottle to her. Hearing a loud POP ring out from downstairs Bella places the baby back in the crib and places a pretago over him, then squares at the door ready to defend herself and little Neville. As the door swings violently, open Bella throws a strong stupefy at the first person through the door making them fly back into the other.
With a loud "wait" ringing out from Dumbledore, this keeps Bella from attacking more members of the Order. Quickly shaking off the blood lust mind set, Bella looks down and realizes she had stunned Lupin causing him to knock down Sirius.
Damn it Bella! Were you expecting death eaters? asks Andy with a laugh from the floor.
Yes, Andy I was expecting that, be glad you weren't getting more than that! answers Bella with a sassy remark.
OK, lets get Neville out of here, but you and I need to talk Bella! Answers Dumbledore, bringing the mood down as he turns and heads down the stairs.
Following Dumbledore down the stairs and into the kitchen. Dumbledore looks out the little kitchen window and starts Bella, you know the Dark Lord will return due to his Horcrux, so I need you to understand what I'm about to ask you is going to be important for the second war.
Taking a deep breath Bella answers I know about the Horcruxes and that he will return and that the Potter boy is the key to bring him down.
I need you to get captured by the Auror's, so they can take you to Azkaban. You will be safe while in there, since I will put it under a spell to protect you while you are in there. It will also almost freeze your aging when you're in there. By doing this it will give you the place as Tom's right hand when he makes his return. Dumbledore calmly replies.
You are crazier than I am! Why would I do that? I will lose myself and my sisters hell I won't see my niece and nephew grow then! screeches Bellatrix.
Yes, you will lose all that, but I'd make sure you are put in front of Sirius. This way you both will have each other. He has no protection their Ms. Black, since they took him before I could get there.
After listening to Dumbledore mention Sirius being alone Bellatrix takes a deep breath and lets it out with the answer of Fine, I will let you do this hair balled scheme! Do it quickly so I don't have time to change my mine.
Quickly Dumbledore preforms the spell in the living room in front of a few Order members. With a quick handshake to Lupin and a hug to Andy. Bella steps back and get into the mind set of Madam Lestrange. With a quick pop's out Bella only needs to wait moments before the Auror's show up and battle capturing her and the two incapacitated death eaters.
Flashback to Bella's time after Azkaban
Bella is slowly walking into a room with shelves and shelves of prophecies as far as the eye can see which have given the room an eerie glow to them. She had never seen the department of mysteries until today and honestly believed there was no such places as the Hall of Prophecies. A little distance ahead she can hear Lucius talking to someone. Slowing her walk just slightly more she moves forward through the shadows she can see Lucius talking with who she can only guess is the Potter boy or Boy Wonder that she has labeled him in her head. Taking a quick moment to gather her "crazy" she lets out the most childlike voice she can Itty bitty baby, potter. As she fully steps from the shadows her breath catches in her throat as her world fades into only seeing the most beautiful creature she ever has ever had the grace of looking upon. She is snapped out of her viewing the breath-taking creature as a boy that's the perfect likeness to Frank Longbottom steps in front of the girl. As the bushy haired girl takes notice of the woman staring at her the girl bravely raises her chin in defiance, making Bellatrix smirk proudly at the girls' bravery.
The moment is broken when a loud Stupefy rings out breaking her from her bushy haired haze, just in time to see a spell heading right to her face.
Turning on the spot black smoke wraps around Bellatrix as she takes off to catch up with the now running bushy haired girl. As she's lazily chases the girl a loud crashing sound can be heard coming from behind her. Chancing a look back Bellatrix eyes widen in true horror as shelves upon shelves of prophecies start to collapse all around. Deciding she better pick up speed to avoid the shower of orbs, Bella races down the collapsing isles towards the kids. Observing her husband turning to go after the girl, Bella pushes herself to the limit to reach Hermione a split second before her ex-husband can get his nasty hands on the girl. Wrapping her airy arms around the girl, quickly consuming her into the blackness. Heading toward a door, the pair spend a few seconds flying down a deep hole leading into a lightly light room. Seconds later the two reappear on a stone ledge with Hermione struggling in the strong arms.
With a racing heart, Bella struggles within herself for a few seconds before she finally whispers into the girl's ear Trust me I won't hurt you.
After a long minute the girl in her arms relaxes, and ever so slightly nods her head truly having no idea why she's trusting this insane woman but feels it in her bones that the woman holding her is being truthful.
After a few seconds Bella whispers into the brown curls I'm going to try and get you to an order member as soon as I can. I need you to get out of here do you understand?
Again, the girl nods but this time she is having a battle within herself on not wanting to leave raven haired death eater behind. Now that all the death eaters have a teen in their arms, Lucius readdresses Potter, quickly the Order appears causing a battle to break between the light and dark. Quickly the older woman drags Hermione off the rock and down to the more protected floor, this lands them right in the field of view of Mad Eye Moody. With a quick understanding of what Bella's plan is Hermione starts to play struggle and screams let me go your crazy bitch!
As soon as they get into better range, Mad Eye falls into his role of being an Order/Auror member.
Black you bat shit crazy bitch give me the girl and I might think of killing your old arse fast.
You can't take this Mudbaby from me Moody she's going to be my lovely little pet yells the older woman in a "insane" like voice, throwing her head back she lets her battle/mad cackle ring out as the being to "fight".
Both adults start to "battle", after a few minutes of fun to make the act of their "battle" more believable Bella throws a crucio at Moody while he sends an acendio at the base of her skirts. As the dark-haired beauty's "attention" is "fully" on the battle Hermione tugs hard on the other woman's hold and makes a run to the side where she saw Tonks waiting for her.
Looking up when Bella yells NOOO both Hermione and Tonks see a quick wink sent in their direction as Tonks tugs on the girl's arm causing them to take off away from the battle.
Hearing the screeched NO, a lower ranking death eater, she's the pair running away. Turn to run after the two he quickly earns two spells into the back, one from an order member, and the other from Bellatrix "deflecting" a spell from battling Moody. Quickly turning her thoughts away from the girl Bellatrix decides to break battle with Moody and go "help" her fellow death eaters.
A week later at Grimmauld place
After a meeting with most of the inner circle of the Order Bellatrix is sitting in the kitchen eating a quick snack that Molly made her before she needs to depart. Being the only youth that stayed behind when Mr. Wesley took the others to Diagon Alley, Hermione walks in the kitchen and is startled to see the snaking witch at the kitchen table.
You're not really evil, are you? asks Hermione in a calm and slightly confused voice than the older witch expected.
Shaking her head heavily a low NO is released from the older witch.
Since seem to know some of your secret, you tell me how of this came to be? questions Hermione.
I'm sorry I can't, not yet at least answers the older witch sadly.
As if on cue Dumbledore walks into the kitchen and answers She can't do that Ms. Granger, this is due to being under a Fidelius charm. And I know you Ms. Granger will never let it go and that you only do things based on fact, so you will have to take the vow and she can tell you then if she wishes.
Thinking after taking the oath the older woman has no problem opening to this young witch, she doesn't want there to be secrets between them and she's not sure why.
A few weeks later at a random Order meeting…
Bellatrix is stopped in her trackers as she sees the young woman exiting the meeting, while talking with Sirius. She slowly approaches the girl and her cousin Hi says the young witch with a bright smile on her face.
Hello cousin! says Sirius with a smile beaming across his face.
Can I talk with you in private please? asks Bella while looking down at her feet. Sure, we can talk states a curious Sirius.
Not you Sirius I meant Hermione, but we will talk later Siri says Bella as she turns and starts walking to the library.
Shrugging his shoulder with a sly smile across his Sirius replies You better go catch her Mione.
Nodding her head Hermione quickly follows the dark witch to the library where she knows they can be alone.
Turning to the face the woman with a scratch of her neck Hermione I know this is probably weird for you and you can yell at me. But I need to ask this. says a surprisingly nervous sounding Bella.
What is Bella you know you can ask me anything responds Hermione with a concerned look on her face as she reaches to touch Bella's back.
Will you hmm…Hermione will you go out on a date with me? Exhaling after the older woman feels like she can breathe again till she realized what she said. Staring in shock the young woman forget to answer her. I see I made a fool of myself. I'm so sorry Hermione forget I even said anything. With the silence as her answer Bella turns and quickly rushes to the door.
Shaking out of the self-induced haze Hermione quickly replies as the older witch starts to twist the door knob. NO, Bella that's not it at all, I'm just truly surprised that you feel the same way I do. So, my answer is yes I'd love to go on a date with you says a smiling Hermione.
Taking a moment to relax with relief of those words Bella turns around heading back to the young woman softly taking her hand and kissing it.
Three days later
Hermione is nervously sitting in her new red dress at the front windows of Grimmwald Place, appearing to be searching for someone to appear in the dark streets below.
Walking quietly behind the nervous girl Fleur asks Hermione, why are you so nervous waiting for Bella? She will be here soon I promise, I know Bella can be late to places, but she loves you.
Turning with a look of surprise Hermione asks How do you know, what I'm thinking? And how can you be so sure that she will show up and that she loves me?
I'm a veela little one I can see the connection between the two of you answers Fleur with a smile breaking across her face.
A loud crack can be heard ring out from outside, causes the two witches to whip back toward the window. The two quickly focus on the figure with black curls racing up the walk way to the front door.
Looking back down at Hermione, Fleur answers with a cocky smirk as she walks away Told you so!
Causing Hermione to roll her eyes and smile up at the older witch. A loud knocking can be heard ringing down the front hallway. Quickly, standing up and walking to the door Hermione flings open the door to reveal a breathless and nervous looking Bella holding a bouquet of lilies in her left hand. A large smile break out across the curly woman's face as her eyes rest on the younger woman standing before her.
Sorry, I'm late pet, but the Dark Lord had us have a last-minute meeting about training the younger recruits states the breathless woman.
It's ok Bella, you're here now that's all that matters states Hermione as she looks into the dark eyes in front of her.
Several months later
Screams and the sounds of crashing can be heard coming from the library where the two witches have locked themselves.
Damn, it Hermione I didn't mean to miss our Anniversary but I couldn't get away from the mission! yells Bella as she paces in front of the fire place.
You, have been missing so many of our dates lately Bella! It seems like all you want to do is spend time with the death eaters instead of seeing me! Hermione yells back.
Your acting like a child! Of course I'd rather be with you than those idiots!
Oh, I'm a child now am I. Fine then if I'm such a child, I'd rather not see you anymore answers Hermione with a chilly tone in her voice.
Fine, I'll leave then. Have fun with the little ginger weasel! yells Bella as she walks to the door and slams it shut behind her.
With tears racing down her face, the curly haired woman races down the stairs and out the front door. Pushes out the front gate a loud angry crack is the only evidence left behind as the woman disappears.
A week later
Bella is mopping around Black Manor, blaming herself for everything thing that has happened with Hermione. She's so happy that she hasn't been called away on a mission for Tom in the last week or she would surely show everything she has been feeling.
After an hour of pacing Bella in front of the large roaring fire a loud Fine, I will go say I'm sorry states Bella to an empty room.
With a turn on the spot Bella disappears with a loud crack. Reappearing in front of the dark building the dark-haired witch takes a deep breath and pushes the gate to the building open and slowly walks to the front door. Before she can even reach the front door, it swings open revealing Hermione with tears running down her face. Looking up and seeing tears in the younger woman's eyes makes Bella race across the small path to gather the other woman in her arms.
You came back, oh thank Merlin I thought you'd never come back! states a teary Hermione into Bella's black curls.
I'm so sorry baby I shouldn't have reacted the way I did. You are so amazing and I'm sorry please forgive me!" responds Bella as she tightly wraps her arms around the smaller woman.
We both messed this up, but we are ok. I'm never letting you go again Bells Hermione says passionately.
Flash to roughly a year later
A shaking Bella wearing a beautiful dress that has just the right mix of black and white is now standing in front of a small group of seated people who are anxious for another person to appear.
Do you think she will change her mind? asks a nervous Bella to Andy.
No, she won't change her mind she's completely in love with you, says a reassuring Andy.
The music starts up and Bellatrix vision tunnels to Hermione who steps out the back doors of Black Manor with her father guiding her down the wedding isle towards a jumpy looking Bella.
Once they reach Bella, Mr. Granger says with a bright smile and look of seriousness in his eyes Take care of our little girl Bella or I'll have to come and teach you a lesson.
As she takes Mione's hand Bella lets out a joyful laugh saying, I will Jake, and if I don't you are more than welcome along with my sisters.
Both witches take a moment to smile at each other before turning in unison to allow the ceremony to start.
With a deep breath the priest looks between the two women and says in a loud long tone You may now kiss your bride this gives Bella all the permission she needs to grab Hermione pulling her close and sealing their vows with a long deep kiss causes the world around them to fade into the background.
Later that afternoon after all the guests had left Black Manor or settled down in the opposite wing, the two newly married couple climbed to their bed chambers with a nervous energy bouncing off the pair. Pushing open the bedroom door Bellatrix quickly sweeps up Hermione and carries her across the threshold kicking the door closed as she continues her walk over to the large canopy bed that dominates the wall of windows. Laying her bride down gently Bella smiles down before crawling over her to kiss her passionately.
Slowly breaking away from the kiss Hermione says to her now wife I'm ready Bella.
Causing the older woman to break out in a wide smile as she slowly lowers back down to run kisses up the younger woman's neck across her jaw and back to her lips before ghosting the words If you ever want to stop just say so, and I will stop and just hold you.
Quickly shifting to 11 months after the wedding
A nervous and excited Bellatrix is looking down at her sweating and very red wife, who is currently laying on a large bed with bloody sheets around her legs.
Come on my love push, you're doing amazing. Bella try's saying encouragingly.
Grunting Hermione lets out a hard breath You try pushing fucker this out of you yells Hermione with a loud grunt as she starts her final big push. Suddenly a loud cry pierces the air within the room. Molly holds up a wiggling mass of messy of bloody baby to the two proud mothers.
Omg Bella she has your hair states Hermione with a look of pure love.
And she has your nose honey says Bella while trying to fight back tears as she watches her little girl shake her fists in the air in defiance of making her appearance in this new world
Taking the little girl from Molly's hands Bella brings her up to her face giving her a kiss on the crown of her head, while Hermione watches on with a smile on her face.
Softly placing the baby in her wife's arms, Bella leans in place a soft kiss on her wife's cheek, pulling back to softly whisper in her the brown soaked curls Thank you for this gift pet, she's absolutely amazing before she softly kisses her wife.
FLASH BACKS ARE DONE!
This sends us back to the throne room.
During this whole time that has felt like hours in fact it only been a few minutes since Voldermort has entered Bella's mind, his anger has reached heights he never thought he could with his most loyal.
Harshly existing her mind Voldemort yells a pained sounding NOOOOO, you will die for this betrayal you whore!
Tossing a powerful crucio Bella barley jumps out of the way of the spell as she crashes to the floor as she feels the heat and anger behind the spell as it flies by her.
Turning to look over her shoulder Bella sees Narcissa standing right by Draco. Get out of here.
Quickly Narcissa grabs her son and disaperates before anyone can get a hand on the two. Turning back to Voldemort Bellatrix throws her own spells at the man. All of the inner circle pulls their wands to take her down. No, she is mine and I will destroy her hisses Voldemort.
As the spells start to volley with such speed and power the deflections start flying all over and start to take out some of the gathered death eaters or blow holes in the house.
Septumcempra with pure venom can be heard coming from Voldemort, after several more being yelled at Bella's defense he is finally able break through her defense and hit her.
Stopping once he sees that his spell has hit her Voldemort taunts the woman on the floor with You will die Bellatrix, your half breed brat will die, and your fifthly little mudblood whore will be given to the others before she dies.
NOOO yells Bella with throwing a silent crucio that knocks Tom off his feet. Allows her the split second to turn with the last of her energy and disapperat thinking of heading straight to Hogwarts.
Meanwhile at Hogwarts while on the hunt of invisible creatures she is familiar with in the court yard Luna turns once hearing a loud pop of someone enters the schools yard. Turning around she sees a heavily bleeding and swaying Bellatrix standing before her. Without a second thought Luna sends her patronous to the Order that's located inside the castle. Rushing to the bleeding woman's side the airy girl puts her hands on the worst cuts she can see trying to slow down the blood pouring out.
Bella what has happened to you? Don't answer that just stay with me, Hermione is on her way. Hearing footsteps fast approaching Luna looks up to see Hermione break through the archway followed closely by Snape, the Order, and surprisingly Narcissa and Draco Malfoy.
Oh no Bella hang on baby you will be fine Snape is here states a panicking Hermione.
Quickly muttering the counter curse the blood slowly starts to recede back into the limp body on the ground.
With a whispered He knows slips from the now unconscious woman's lips.
Quickly Madame Pomfrey runs out the great hall doors, coming to kneel beside Bella and starts pouring blood replenishing and pepper up potion down Bella's throat. Once the witch is stable the group levitates the slowing waking woman into the great hall, never looking back to see events unfolding where they had once been. Once arriving inside with Bellatrix, McGonagall turns a portion of the Ravenclaw's table into a make shift bed, complete with sheets. Only a few minutes later the peace is broken by young frantic and scare Ravenclaw girl, who runs in claiming that things happened after the group had left the outside world behind them.
