Chapter Four: Hermione, The Tour Guide

Last Time: Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasly have arrived at Hogwarts High School, waiting for the school to open; when they are interrupted by Bellatrix Lestrange, who has secretly been stalking Hermione Granger. Hermione is infuriated by Bellatrix' Pompous Attitude and her views on people due to something that she called 'Blood Status'. Now, let's see just what is going on here; but first...


( Present Day - In The Safety Room - 2 Hours After Hermione Escaped Bellatrix)


Hermione Granger, The Golden Lion of Hogwarts High School, was at a complete loss. Her Parents, Monica and Wendell Granger, and her Best Friends, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasly, were trapped, bruised and battered (Not to mention tied up) by Bellatrix Lestrange, Hermione's Possessive Ex-Girlfriend; who apparently could not take 'No' for a final answer. Bellatrix refused to take the answer that Hermione had given to her weeks in prier to the day: She no longer wanted to be Bellatrix's Girlfriend. That is why she was in the Safety Room, which was located under the house.

Hermione sat at the Computer Monitors, looking at the Living Room Camera; at her Mother, Father, Friends and the Parents of Bellatrix, confounded to chairs and leaking blood. There was nothing else for Hermione to watch due to the fact that Bellatrix had left the room to some other part of the house; most likely, to search for Hermione.

Hermione heard something coming from her room camera and clicked the button to switch the camera's sight. Once she reached her Room Camera, she saw Bellatrix, sitting on her bed. Bellatrix seemed to be talking to someone, but there was no one else in that room. Curious, Hermione added in some audio so she could hear; what she heard was so disturbing, it made her blood run cold.

Bellatrix: I could kill them...is that what you want, My Beloved? I could make sure that they never interfere with our love ever again. I was going to kill them anyway...but is that what you desire, Hermione? If you don't make your presence known soon, I will have to force them to speak of your location. (Bellatrix hugs herself) I just want us to be happy...Now and Forever...Do you remember, Hermione? Do you remember that day you lead me through the school and into the rest of our lives?

Hermione looked down to her hands, for she did remember that day: The Day That The Golden Lion Became A Tour Guide For The Black Serpent.


(Back To The Past Day - Outside Of Hogwarts High School)


Hermione was trying her best not to lost her temper to the newcomer that had just arrived not too long ago: Bellatrix Lestrange. Bellatrix is the Infamous Daughter of Druella and Cygnus Black, 2 individuals that judged people by something they called 'Blood Status'. Bellatrix had just arrived to the school, announcing that she would be attending Hogwarts High School due to the fact that she had nothing better to do. Hermione had met the girl in a previous encounter and she hated Bellatrix with a burning passion. On the sidelines, Harry and Ron were quiet, both of them thinking the same thing: 'This is not going to end well.'

Bellatrix, on the other hand, thought everything was going just perfectly. For a while now, Bellatrix has been stalking Hermione Granger, although she did not see it as stalking, she saw it as 'Getting to know your mate better'.

Hermione's Anger was beginning to subside, the Lion Aura was fading as well; that was until Bellatrix spoke up once again.

"Mudblood, you are the Golden Lion of Hogwarts, aren't you?" Bellatrix asked Hermione with a toothy grin, resulting the Black Serpent Aura around her the flare more.

Hermione calmed her anger and Lion Aura before she answered, "Yes, I am The Golden Lion. What of it?".

"Why nothing at all, it is a rather difficult achievement to obtain; and yet, you were able to get this without much struggle?" Bellatrix asked, placing her hands on both of her hips.

Hermione stood up straight and sighed, resulting in her anger to subside once again and the Lion Aura began to fade once again; to the point where it was almost completely transparent. "Yes, it was most challenging to obtain; but I managed just fine to receive what I wanted." Hermione replied with pride in her heart. Just then the wind blew a light breeze, making Hermione's Blazing Golden Mane of Hair to lightly bounce in the wind. The Lion Aura also seemed to shine brighter in the presence of the sun, Harry and Ron looked at Hermione with friendly smiles, while Bellatrix looked at the Golden Lion in complete amazement, her thoughts of making fun of the girl suddenly left her mind.

'She's so beautiful in the Sunlight. I never seen anything more amazing. I want to forget everything about this school and just take her with me.' Bellatrix thought to herself. However, right before Bellatrix could open her mouth to utter a signal word, the voice of another incomer interrupted all conversation; causing both the Lion and the Serpent Auras to vanish with the wind.

"Well, Good Morning Everyone." Everyone looked to the left side of the building, revealing who the newcomer was that had interrupted all confrontation: Albus Dumbledore, The Head-Master of Hogwarts High School. Dumbledore was a tall, yet elderly man, creamy white complexion, long white hair and bread, and gray like eyes. He wore a scholar's rode from some reason, but no one really denied that he was such a great leader that they never minded the Grey Robe.

Harry smiled at his Head-Master, "Good Morning, Head-Master Dumbledore." The Young Potter replied.

Ronald Weasly set a nod in the of the old man, "Best of the Mornings to you, Head-Master."

Hermione beamed at the Head-Master with a great smile, "Greetings to you, Head-Master Dumbledore."

Dumbledore smiled at the sight of the Golden Trio being the first ones to the school building everyday; this made his old heart flutter with happiness.

"Well Best of the Morning to you all as well, Golden Trio. Yet again, you are the first one's here to Hogwarts." The Head-Master proclaimed.

"Well, we wish to get the best advantage on our education, Sir." Harry said.

"I love to get some time in the Library, Mum and Dad really don't like me reading at the dinner table." Hermione said with a light smile, nervously scratching the back her of long golden hair.

"I just like hanging out with my Best Friends before school starts and we get separated." The Young Weasly shrugged.

Dumbledore began a light chuckle, just as he was looking among his Golden Trio, he noticed Bellatrix, who had remained quiet the whole time.

"Why Hello Young Lady, just who might you be?" The Head-Master asked as he walked closer to the Black.

"My Name is Bellatrix, Bellatrix Lestrange." Bellatrix said with pride in her voice.

The Head-Master raised his eyebrow at that name, due to the fact he knew of someone that went by the name of 'Bellatrix', but that individual's last name was 'Black', not Lestrange.

"Bellatrix you say? Hm, that is most intriguing." Dumbledore said.

"How so?" Bellatrix asked.

"There is someone that I know that is called 'Bellatrix', but her last name is 'Black'." Dumbledore explained.

"Yes, that is me. I am Bellatrix Black, however due to some problems that I have had with my family, I have undertaken the name 'Lestrange'." Bellatrix explained to the old man.

Dumbledore looked at the girl with wide eyes, "Oh, what a true surprise! The Daughter of Druella and Cygnus Black here. So, let me ask you this, Bellatrix: What is the reason that you are here at Hogwarts? If I am correct, all of the Black offspring were home schooled so that they wouldn't have to be mixed up with, as your parents call them, Half-Bloods or Mud-Bloods." The Head-Master asked.

"You are right that all of Offspring to the name 'Black' were Home-Schooled, but I have nothing else to keep myself active and entertained. Due to this fact, I have decided to attend this school. I have sent in an application and I received a message at stated to come here for a Grand Tour of the School so that I may see the classes that I wish to partake in." Bellatrix finished with her hand on her hip.

Dumbledore rubbed his chin, as if he was trying to process the information that Bellatrix had just given him, he understood and spoke once again. "Understood, Ms. Lestrange. You may have a tour of our campus once we find a suitable guide for you- "Dumbledore tried to say right before Bellatrix cut him off.

"Why Head-Master Dumbledore, you do not have to 'Find' a Tour Guide for me. I believe that I have met the Perfect One just this morning." Bellatrix said with a smirk, making the rest of the Golden Trio uneasy.

Dumbledore raised his right eyebrow, "Pray tell, Ms. Lestrange, who is this Tour Guide that you speak of?" Dumbledore asked.

Bellatrix looked to Hermione with a predatory smirk, "Why none other than the Golden Lion herself: Hermione Granger." Bellatrix asked as she poked to the Golden Lion, who was shocked.

Dumbledore looked at Hermione and nodded, "Yes, that is a grand idea, Ms. Lestrange. Hermione would make the Perfect Tour Guide."

"WHAT?!" Hermione, Ron and Harry all screamed in perfect unison.

Dumbledore clapped his hands together with a jolly smile upon his face, "It is a splendid idea. Ms. Granger, You shall be the Tour Guide of Ms. Lestrange today."

Hermione began to freak out, but tried her best to remain calm, due to the fact that this man was her Head-Master and she has always respected this man and the decisions that he has made in the past; all but this one, it would seem.

"Um, Head-Master Dumbledore, I really do not think that I would be a Good Choice of Tour Guide for Bellatrix." Hermione said with a forced calm look, while on the inside she was exploding.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrow, "And do tell, Ms. Granger, why is it that you think that you would not be a good choice of Tour Guide for Ms, Lestrange?" He asked The Golden Lion.

'Due to the Fact that I cannot stand being around her!' Hermione was thinking about saying, but instead she said, "I have a agenda that I like to stick to every morning and I wish not to break it when I am merely a student."

At this time, Bellatrix was stunned. The Woman that She Loved didn't want to give a tour of Hogwarts; Bellatrix was outraged but kept calm, not wanting Hermione to know the True Reason as to why she wanted her to be her guide. 'Please, Hermione, be my guide. I want some alone time with you.' She thought to herself.

"Now, Ms. Granger, I understand that you do not wish to stray from your normal pace, but this is needed. You have been here for a long period of time and you are best suited to do this job. Now, I must be getting to my paper work. Escort Ms. Lestrange through the school and then you may go about your business. Understood, Ms. Granger?" Dumbledore asked/demanded.

Hermione looked to the ground in defeat, "Yes, Head-Master Dumbledore."

With that response, The Elderly Head-Master took his leave and walked inside of the building. The 2 males of the Golden Trio looked at their friend with worry and concern; She was forced to be the Tour Guide for Bellatrix and she didn't even like the girl.

"Hermione, if you want, Harry and I could come with you and help with the Tour." Ron offered with Harry nodding his head in agreement to help his friend. Just before Hermione could open her mouth to answer, Bellatrix answered.

"NO!" A Simple Response from the Black Serpent. The Golden Lion and Her Friends looked at her.

"What's your problem, Bellatrix? What's it to you if we come to help Hermione?" Harry asked her with a raised eyebrow, "This is a One-Person Job, I want only one person with me; that person is the Golden Lion, you or your bloody Weasel Friend." Bellatrix growled.

Hermione stepped in before anymore words could be exchanged, "That Enough, Guys. I'll do the tour and then meet you guys in the Library. I will be fine, just wait for me." Hermione said. Both of the boys didn't like the idea of leaving their friend alone with Bellatrix but they knew how stubborn that Hermione can be and gave in to her will. Nodding there heads, the other 2 members of the Golden Trio turned their backs to Hermione and disappeared into the school. Leaving Bellatrix and Hermione alone in front of the school.

Hermione looked at Bellatrix, seeing the smirk on her face. 'This is going to be a Living Hell to deal with.'
