Summary: Meet Hermione, The Golden Lion of Hogwarts. Meet Bellatrix, The Dark Serpent of Hogwarts. While Hermione does want she can to remain in the Light, Bellatrix will do anything to make the Golden Lion, her Dark Lion for all eternity.

Chapter One: How did it come to this?!

"Bellatrix! Please, listen to me! You don't have to do this! You don't have to kill them! You don't have to do this spell! Just let it go!" cried a very scared Hermione as she watched her Ex-Girlfriend pace the floor of her bloodstained living room with a Kitchen Knife in her right hand and a pistol in her back pocket.

With a dark chuckle, Bellatrix spoke. "Oh, my sweet little Mudblood; believe me when I say that all of this is needed. As long as they live, they will keep you away from me. They will keep interfering with our relationship and keep it from growing…." Bellatrix paused as she looked to her prey, which were all tied up, bloody and bruised, in chair. She points the knife to them, "As long as they live, Hermione….you will never be completely mine. You'll never be my Dark Lion…..like I always wanted. That's why I have to do this, Kitten. I'm doing this for us, so that we can be happy forever." Bellatrix finished.

Hermione looked from her position in the giant comfy chair that was positioned at the north corner of the living, looking at the people that Bellatrix proclaimed were getting in the way of their relationship from growing: Her Mother, Father, her two best friends: Harry Potter and Ron, even Bellatrix's Parents were there.

"Bellatrix, please…" Hermione was cut off by a loud outburst by Bellatrix, "What did I say about calling me 'Bellatrix'?! I told you to call me 'Bella'! I told you that the day you agreed to be my girlfriend!" Bellatrix roared as she pointed the knife in Hermione's direction; scaring the young girl to death.

"Bellatrix…..I'm not your girlfriend anymore…" Once again, Hermione was cut off by Bellatrix's outburst, but this time, Bellatrix marched over to the scared girl and gave her a fierce slap across the face; causing the Golden Lion to scream in pain and hide her face in her hands.

Then Bellatrix spoke in a slow and deadly tone, "Don't….you ever say that again, okay? You are my girlfriend." Bellatrix spoke, Hermione shook her head, "No…I'm not…not anymore".

That pushed Bellatrix to the edge.

In a flash, Bellatrix grabbed Hermione by her small pale neck and slapped her deeper into the cushions on the chair, looking at the girl with a glare that caused Hermione's blood to run cold. As she looked in the scared girl's eyes, she slowly brought the knife closer to Hermione's Cheek; causing the smaller girl to shiver when she felt the ice cold metal dripped in warm blood touch her cheek.

Hermione could tell if she said something like that again; Bellatrix would kill her right then and there. Bellatrix looked at her trembling and sobbing Ex-Girlfriend with a sickening grin on her face, a wolfish grin that resulted in the Golden Lion shiver in fear. Bringing her face closer to Hermione's, Bellatrix lightly whispered in the girl's ear.

"Shh Love, it's going to be okay. I know that you're scared, I can understand that; but sweetie, you have to understand the reason that I have to do this. You know how hard I tried to be nice and respectful to your parents. How hard I tried to make Potter and his red-haired friend see that I would never hurt you. How hard my own parents tried to force me to marry someone that I didn't want to. It's because of them that we are here now. If they had just left us and our relationship alone, none of this would be happening now. If I let them live, we can never be happy together. We can never be alone and have all that we could ever want…."

Bellatrix paused for a slight moment as she slipped her right hand from her Ex-Lover's neck to her stomach and rested it there; slowly rubbing it.

"If I let them live….we can't have our baby and be a happy family. To have a family of our very own, we both agreed that it would make us both very happy. Didn't we?" Bellatrix asked in a Deadly yet loving voice.

Hermione hesitated at first before she answered the question, "Yes, we did….but I told you that I wasn't ready for a baby just yet. I'm still in school." Hermione explained to the woman before her. To her surprise, Bellatrix began to chuckle and then soft laughter could be heard.

"Oh, My Sweet Kitten, I know what you said….and I did agree with you once. Alas, that time has passed us, Hermione. A Baby…would insure our happiness. It will be the product of the love that we have for each other." Hermione felt the cold lips of Bellatrix touch her cheek, "Don't you agree, my love?" Bellatrix asked. Before Hermione could answer, her mother answered in a very harsh tone of voice,

"Don't you touch my baby, you evil, vile woman!" Hermione's Mother yelled to Bellatrix as the black haired woman looked over her shoulder at the woman, who looked so much like her lover. Bellatrix moved from Hermione to the girl's mother; Hermione froze in fear as to what this crazy girl would do to her mother. Her answer came as a Pained Scream echoed throughout the entire house. Hermione looked at the fresh cut upon her mother's right cheek and the blood that was on the blade in Bellatrix's Hand.

"Don't ever talk to me in that tone again, you Filthy Excuse for a Woman. Your 'Baby' belongs to me. Her Body is mine to do with as I please. Her Heart is mine to hold. Her Life is mine forever and soon…." Bellatrix moved closer to the woman's face, "She will have my 'Baby'. It's too bad that you won't be around to see your first grandchild grow up." Bellatrix said as if it were a promise.

Hermione looked at the right, where the stairway was located. Up the stairs, to the right, at the end of the hall was her room; if she could make it there, she could reach the safe room that her parents had created just in case of something like this.

She looked at Bellatrix, seeing that the girl was still busy with taunting her mother. That's when she made her move.

Ever so quietly, Hermione rose from her seat; making sure that the chair didn't creak. Once she was to her feet, she quickly and quietly moved for the stairway and was successful in reaching the stairway without alarming Bellatrix. Alas, as she landed her foot on the first step, a loud creak echoed throughout the house; causing Bellatrix to look at the source of the sound.

"Hermione?! What are you…?" Bellatrix was cut off as Hermione ran up the stairs in a quickened pace to reach her room. "HERMIONE!" Bellatrix yelled as she chased after her obsession. Hermione ran up the stairs, running for her life and the life of her parents. As she reached the top of the stairs, Bellatrix was halfway behind her. Hermione quickly bolted for her room, opening the door and attempting to close it; however, the blood soaked blade of the knife suddenly appeared and blocked her from locking the door on her pursuer.

Looking at Bellatrix, who was trying to force her way into the room, Hermione's eyes became flooded with tears and fear.

"Hermione! Stop this right now! I'm doing this for us and you know this!" Bellatrix yelled at her.

"I don't care! Leave alone!" Hermione yelled as she pushed the knife out of the way; causing her to cut her hand in the process. Locking the door, Hermione relaxed on her bed, looking at her scared and bleeding hand. Hermione breathed out, thinking she could rest for a while; however, the peace was short lived as Bellatrix started to pound away at the door.

"Hermione! Let me in this instant!" Bellatrix demanded. Hermione quickly jumped to her feet. Running to her closet, she throw the doors open and closed them as she entered the closet. Looking for the fake wall in the space, she quickly located it, pulled it open, stepped in and quickly closed it back as the Raging Bellatrix came bursting into her room.

Once Bellatrix was in the room, she looked around for Hermione; however she was unable to find her. "Hermione, where are you?! I know that you're scared but that's no reason to hide from me. I'm doing this for us, my love, so that we can be happy together." Bellatrix yelled as she looked franticly around for her lover. Under the bed, under the piles of clothes, in closet; No Hermione could be found.

Hermione moved quietly through the walls of the building, even though she couldn't be seen, she didn't want to be heard. She quickly found the secret stairway in the walls that led to the Safety Room under the house. Here's the thing, the house doesn't have a basement. Hermione's parent had hired someone to go under their house and create this room for them. Hermione would always go to the Safety Room for so peace and quiet, now she was going there to save her life.

Bellatrix on the other hand, still looking for her lover, couldn't find her and angrily returned to the living room where all of her captives were still trapped.

Hermione moved down the stairs and into the walls that led to the living room; there, she could hear Bellatrix yelling at her Hostages.

"Where is she?! I know you had something to do with this! She runs up to her room and suddenly disappears?!" Bellatrix yelled.

"We don't know! We're all right here!" Hermione's Father yelled at Bellatrix.

"This is all your faults! If you had just left me and Hermione alone, we would be happy! But no! You just had to come in between two people that loved each other! Now she hates me! She's scared of ME, when it's your faults for making her scared of the only person who loves her!" Bellatrix yelled in blind rage.

"We love her very much! You just wanted what you can't have, Bellatrix! Your Obsession with her is completely unhealthy and is driving you to this!" Bellatrix's Father yelled to her.

"I love her! She's mine! This is not an obsession, it's Love! You'll see she loves me!" Bellatrix yelled.

Hermione kept moving, soon coming to another set of stairs that led under the whole house. Walking with caution, she moved down the stairs. Upon reaching the bottom, she came to a giant steel door with a lock pad. Entering her personal code: Golden Lion, the door opened. Once opened, she stepped inside and closed the door behind her; sealing it once it closed. Hermione flicked on the lights of the Safety Room and looked around. Inside was a set of monitors and a control panel that controlled the cameras around the whole house, 5 beds that were against the wall, a small cooling unit and cabinets that had fresh food and water for months. Hermione moved the cabinets and retrieved some bandages, sitting on one of the beds and began to treat her wound.

Once cleaned, she moved to the chair in front of the monitors and activated the cameras in the house. Looking at the Monitor of the Living Room Camera, she watched as Bellatrix yelled at threatened her family and friends if they didn't hand Hermione over right now. At that moment, there was only one thing she could think at this time :

"How did it all come to this?"
