Chapter 3
Bellatrix summand her house elf "FOOBY!". Instantly Fooby appeared "Yes Mistress". Bellatrix always made Fooby nervous. "Go down to the basement and remove my husbands body and take the girl to the guest room next to mine" Bellatrix demanded "And give her some new clothes and a fresh towel. Don't just stand there GO!". Fooby disapparited leaving Bellatrix and Regulus alone again. "Bellatrix you can not keep her here, if the Dark Lord hear's about this he will torture and kill her. If you try to stop him he will kill you too. Think carefully if you do have real feelings for her, let her go its the only way she will be able to live without either of you getting hurt". Bellatrix knew Regulus was right, but she didn't want to let Hermoine go. Every one she ever cared about had left her.
Hermoine was lost in her thought's when Fooby apparated in front of her, making her jump and scream. "Good day Madame i've been sent to take you to your room" Fooby removed the shackles that was holding Hermoine down. "W where are we going? What does Bellatrix want with me. Harry's not stupid enough to come here to rescue me. Please ask her to let me go. I will do anything" Fooby stood with his head lowered. What does Bellatrix want? Why move me to a room, i'm her prisoner not a guest! Is she playing games with me? "Fooby, why as Bellatrix told you to take me to a room?" "All Fooby was told was to take you to a guest room and be at your service for anything you require Madame". Fooby looked down at his hands. "Ok, do I have to remain tied up?". "No Hermoine, you do not" the voice came from behind her, making her jump. Bellatrix had spoke softly, this made Hermoine scared never in all her time being here had she heard the Death Eaters voice have any nice emotion, making it hard to know what she's going to do to Hermoine.
"Hermoine I'm not going to hurt you, don't be scared of me". Hermoine had turned to face her "Bellatrix, how can you expect me to believe you? After everything you and your husband has done"."Hermoine I'm sorry for everything that has happened, I'm not sorry that Rodolphus is dead I'm actually glad." "Fooby take Hermoine to her room, give her what ever she requests". Bellatrix turned to walk away, after a few steps she turned around, facing Hermoine "Your free to leave when you wish to do so". Hermoine froze. Did Bellatrix Lestrange just tell me I'm free to leave when I want?. Bellatrix quietly left the room. This is the only way she will be safe, when the war is over I will find her and explain.
Hermoine was lead by Fooby to the guest room, she passed a few doors, wondering what was behind each one. Fooby stopped at the third door on the right. Hermoine glanced at the door opposite, she knew from the door that it was Bellatrix's room. The door was made from dark oak with metal rods. Hermoine wondered what it was like inside. "If there is any thing you need please call Madame". Hermoine jumped as Fooby spoke, she had been dreaming of what Bellatrix's room looked like.
Bellatrix entered the kitchen once again, Regulus was sitting reading the paper, he glanced up, he saw Bellatrix Black, she had tear's in her eye's, he hadn't seen her like this since her Mother had died. "Bellatrix? Are you ok?" Bellatrix managed to shake her head before the tear's started to fall. "I've told Hermoine she is free to leave when she's ready" Bellatrix said between sobs.
Hermoine felt better after her bath. This must be a dream, Bellatrix would not let me go if it is real. I think I should find her before she changes her mind. Hermoine got dressed and went to find Bellatrix.
Bellatrix was sitting on her own when Hermoine found her. "Regulus has gone, it is just me and you" Bellatrix said without looking up. What's wrong with Bellatrix? she didn't react like this when her husband was killed. "B bbellatrix, I would like to leave now, if you don't mind" Bellatrix looked up, she got a feeling inside her, like she had been hit by a spell in the stomach. Bellatrix could only manage a nod, she stood up, her body shaking. This is my chance to tell her how I feel. Bellatrix took a step toward Hermoine. How can I tell this beautiful young witch how I feel, that I feel like i have known her all my life.
