Hermione's POV
"I can't believe you didn't tell us that you wanted to know information about Beallatrix," said Harry after I told him and Ron the truth.
"I know, I…." I began
"All the information that you get might be able to help us kill her," said Ron
"Yeah, after what she did to Sirius, she needs to pay," said Harry
"Guys, it's not like that I love her," I told them
Harry and Ron stop talking to me after that, I was walking through the halls when I heard my named being called I turned around and there was Luna and Neville.
"Hi Hermione, why is Ron and Harry not talking to you? They wouldn't tell me," said Neville
"Yeah, Ginny wouldn't tell me either" said Luna
I was shocked Ginny was the first person to know why wouldn't she tell
"Um…it's personal," I told them
"I understand," said Luna
"Me too" said Neville
"I have to go read this weeks Quibbler that my father just sent me" said Luna and she walked away
"I will never understand her" said Neville
I laughed
"So, Hermione want to study in the library tomorrow? Neville asked
"Sure that would be great" I told him
But the next day Neville never showed up to the library I waited for a couple of more minutes but he didn't come, I decided to go look for him. I found him at the entrance to the Gryffindor Common Room he had just told the Fat Lady the password and was about to go in.
"Neville, I thought we were going to study in the library, what happened?" I asked him
Neville looked at me
"Harry and Ron told me, how could you Hermione after what she did to my parents"
"Oh, Neville…I…." I started to say
"Don't bother" said Neville and walked away leaving the common room door open
I started to cry and I walked away ignoring the Fat Lady saying
"What's the point of me opening the door if no one is coming in"
I was still crying when I ran into Ginny
"Are you okay Hermione?" she asked
"Yes" I lied
"No your not, I heard about Neville" she said "I can't believe Harry and Ron told him"
"I think they did it because they saw me talking to Neville before he found out and they wanted to ruin our friendship" I told Ginny
"They will forgive in the end, you'll see" said Ginny
"No one in this castle will ever talk to me again" I said
"I will, No matter what happens I am always here" said Ginny
"Thanks, I am glad to have a friend like you" I said
"Yeah friend" said Ginny with a sad look on her face
"Um…exuse me….I….I am suppose to give this to Hermione Granger" said a first year holding a letter
"Thank you" I said taking the letter
This time I recognized Bellatrix's handwriting
"It's her? Isn't it?" asked Ginny
"Yeah it is" I said walking away from Ginny
When I got to the Girls dorm I read the letter
Dear Hermione Granger,
Thank you for meeting me, I heard what Potter and Weasley said to you, I am sorry. Since they don't accept you anymore do you want to join the Death Eaters, we will accept you and you will get to have revenge on Potter and Weasley by killing them
Let me know,
Bellatrix
P.S. call me Bella
I couldn't believe it did Bellatrix or Bella really love me or was it just a trick to have me join the Death Eaters, even though they weren't talking to me, I ran to the common room and showed the letter to Harry and Ron
"She is using you" said Harry
"She might" I told him
"might?" Ron "she trying to have you join the Death Eaters, You-Know-Who might have found out you had feelings for Bellatrix and this was is plan to kill Harry"
"It could be his plan, but what if Bella does have feelings for me?" I asked them
"Your going to call her want she wants you to call her even if it might not even be love?" asked Harry
"Yes" I told them
"Look Harry, It's Hedwig" said Ron pointing to the window
The letter Hedwig had was to me again I opened it
Hermione,
Meet me again tonight, same place
Bella
I read it out loud to Harry and Ron
"You can't go" said Harry
"yeah you can't" said Ron
I looked at the letter for a while then looked up
"Can you guys come with me the same time you came with me last time? I asked them
"Sure" said Harry
"We are your best friends Hermione, we will be with you" said Ron
"Thanks" I said with a smile
