Concurrent Existences

Chapter Ten: No Rest for the Wicked

One by one, broken like cup.

Each forgotten, but slowly picked up.

One item left, this one close by.

Don't throw the last, or it'll be goodbye.

She'd have her fun soon enough. The plan wasn't over after all.

Both witches knew that time had just restarted for both of them.

Bellatrix still was still awake after making passionate love for around two hours. It had been mostly Hermione climaxing leaving the younger witch exhausted and asleep. She gazed at the sleeping witch that was attached to her side like a little babe.

Lovely. This is what maintained her sanity. This is what let her regain her sanity.

And she would never give it up even if she had to burn the world for it.

Though the dark witch had most of the story pieced together. There were still a little bit of facts that still confused her and now that she had a sleeping witch by her side, but not yet feeling sleepy, it was the perfect time for her thoughts to wander. She had all the time in the world because of the brunette, but she couldn't help but think of them now.

The battle she was supposed to be in had already started. The battle where she was supposed to battle for her lor- for Tom Riddle. The man that had taken advantage of her weakened state and put numerous compulsion charms and whatever else to secure her obedience. She wanted to take revenge once her mind was clear against the man who had destroyed, manipulated and controlled over half her life, but her little witch said not to.

At first, the dark witch raged about revenge, but in the end, there was too much at stake for mere revenge. After her emotions calmed down, what her witch was saying rang true.

Tom Riddle was going to die anyway. Why bother? She was still conflicted nonetheless.

If it was anyone else aside from her witch however, she would have blasted them apart and done whatever she had wanted. Bellatrix Black did not bend to anyone, she would need to have her name sorted out too since Lestrange was still on it.

Any plans that Bellatrix had whether for revenge or whatever else was postponed though. Sadly, it seemed that she did allow one mudbaby to steer her around a bit.

The name change would be easy. It's not like paying off the Ministry would be hard, Rodolphus and her never actually consummated the marriage anyway. No prick was going to have their prick in her, ever.

That was one thing she vowed and actually stood by after Hermione and herself had given themselves to each other for the first time. Black Lake had too many memories.

Being a criminal would pose as a problem though.

The one thing Hermione was not clear about was about her plan. It seemed like the plan was being fleshed out as they went anyway. She sighed and still couldn't believe she was going along with this plan, but so far it was working, somewhat anyway.

The raven haired witch felt complete at the moment. A little witch attached to her side, three of the unused magical foci attached to her and her mind restored.

It was a pity for those she killed and tortured throughout the years. She truly regretted almost nothing for her past actions, even if she was under multiple spells at the time.

She was still a dark witch, that wouldn't change. The only true regret she had was torturing her little witch, now that was something she was still struggling to accept.

Right now, she had no other purpose in life than to just follow her witch and protect her, for now, that was enough. For the first time in several years, she was happy.

Bellatrix was ready for blood, but she was satisfied for now.

She was still a bit concerned about her age though. The little mudbaby probably had something up her sleeve as usual. Cissy had fixed her up mostly during her stay at Malfoy Manor anyway, but still, looking like she was in her late twenties or early thirties when her lover was barely out of diapers was kind of annoying.

Oh well.

The dark witch really needed to get in touch with her little sister though. Cissy didn't need to grieve when she was still alive. Maybe when things cool down or slowed down at least.

The raven haired witch still couldn't sleep. Getting lost in her own thoughts was getting boring and Hermione did say to wake her up soon.

Bellatrix grinned wickedly and shot a charge of magical energy through Hermione. The jolt probably causing some arousal that they would have no time to deal with. The little witch did tell her to wake up around one or two hours after she took a nap.

This bitch.

Hermione was tempted to smack the hell out of the dark witch. As if tying her to the bed and getting ravaged for a few hours wasn't enough! The orgasms were great, sure, but she was severely exhausted and couldn't return the favor or do anything else but nap!

They were on a time constraint too! Hermione could feel the Time-Turner slowly unraveling itself, whether she used it or not, it continued to deteriorate.

The lovely wake-up call wasn't so lovely either since they had no time to indulge. The battle of Hogwarts would have been over right now and she had to retrieve the last thing she needed before she could return to the present.

The prospect of finding out new things was almost as good as the sex with Bella. After nearly reading every possible thing she could find, Hermione had to get her fun somehow. Who knew experimentation was so much fun?

The brunette quickly casted a spell to put her clothes back on, while also biting back her arousal that the dark witch had caused.

Hermione got ready to go back to a scene she never truly wished to see again.

Both witches donned a cloaking spell while passing through the remnants of the battle outside of Hogwarts. Hermione could see the twitch in the elder witch when they noticed the leftover robes of Tom Riddle who had disintegrated into dust. The brunette did hope Voldemort was truly dead, but he had come back from the dead so many times that it was a joke. There was probably another way to sustain himself again, but it would be fine. The snake would need a long time to recuperate if ever and her love would get the revenge she wanted.

Too bad Dumbledore was dead, she owed him a good punch and a few choice words.

"Hey little witch, whatever happened to those two Dementors that got sucked into your little doohickey thing?" It was actually bugging Bellatrix a bit. Hermione had said that the two Dementors could only be stuck there for a finite time.

"Ah, remember I still had some left over Dragon Heartstring from the creation of the artifacts?" Hermione saw Bellatrix nod before she continued. "Well, I tied the Dragon Heartstring around the Repulsor, powered it slightly with a little magic and it can now keep them indefinitely." She shrugged. She had a plan for those Dementors in the future, but none at the moment.

"You have the bloody things on you?! You mad?!"Bellatrix hissed while her face blanched and slowly inched slightly away from Hermione. The thought of being so close to the Ministry trinket that held not one, but two Dementors, was a bit uncomfortable. Not that she was scared of course, bollocks. It's just that the creator of the shitty gizmo was probably a barmy oaf. It was like staying close to a ticking bomb!

"Oh, pish posh! I made sure they wouldn't get out. Besides, you can easily cast your Patronus now. You're being silly."

"You're being silly. Why don't you just toss it! Why keep the bloody buggers?!" Luckily for Bellatrix, the whole area was void of people her outbursts would've been heard.

"Relax. I have future plans for them, thanks to one book I read." More like experiments really.

Bellatrix just looked at Hermione like she had two heads.

"You're bloody mental, you know that?" Her muggleborn had crazier ideas than her! Playing with regular magical pets, sure. Playing with beings that suck souls for lunch? And she was supposed to be the insane one?

Further discussion paused as they reached the area that the Elder wand was lost.

Both witches stood at the exact same area Harry snapped the wand in two.

"Seriously? Potter snapped the Elder Wand and just threw the remnants down this ravine? What a bloody moron!" Bellatrix whisper shouted. Hermione agreed, even she didn't think of it at the time, but fragments of artifacts still held a lot of magic.

The Elder Wand fragments would be no different. The artifact that was said to be created by Death himself. One fragmented Deathly Hallows in her hand, the other just several meters away and she already had a good idea of what to do with both of them. Not for a while though.

Both witches slowly levitated themselves downwards into the depths. The bottomless ravine not so bottomless after all. Both armlets of the witches gave off a strong glowing effect that gave them the illumination needed since it was pitch dark where they were. Hermione began to feel the resonance between the fragments of the Resurrection Stone on her and the fragments of the Elder Wand.

It held so much power. It was a wonder she had not felt the same emanation of power from it before. Years of knowledge and practice probably giving her the experience needed to properly feel magical signatures.

Voldemort was right about one thing, it was indeed powerful. Even after being broken, Hermione could still feel the residual emanation of power.

Hermione levitated both parts of the broken Elder Wand. The brunette let out a quick burst of power to reduce the wand into dust and let the floating particles of the Elder Wand swirl around her hand for a moment. The power from within the particles seemed to be calling out to her. She began to listen closely, she could almost hear-

"Oi, snap out of it." Bellatrix flicked the girl's nose to snap her out of the trance. Hermione shook her head to clear the cobwebs from it. She have to research the Deathly Hallows further in the future.

"This is all we need. The Time Turner can only be used once more before it will be too unstable for time travel. I will also have to deal with the Ron issue once we get back to my present." Hermione hadn't heard or read of any person who actually went forward in time aside from herself. Her research indicated that it was never done, that she had been the first to actually attempt it. She doubted she was the first, but there was still no documents about it. Most probably just died.

She briefly had a fear that there would be an adverse effect bringing her dark witch into the future, but quickly dismissed it. The enhanced foci and synchronization between them would be enough.

The brunette quickly gathered the remnants of the Elder Wand in a pouch. She began casting the spell, the last time spell she would cast ever, till Bellatrix gave her another jolt that interrupted her spell.

"Bella-" She was cut off as the ex-Death Eater smashed their lips together. It looks like the dark witch didn't care that they were in one of the darkest, deepest ditches in magical London. Human contact was still something she was getting used to after the fifteen year time suspension, since her total time with the dark witch had not even reached a year in total. It still left her... sensitive even after the months spent with a younger Bella.

Bellatrix broke the kiss for a bit. "Since we have all the time in the world that we're just going to pressing fast forward, how about we play a little game?" The look on the dark witch's face made her weak in her knees. The lumos in the dark ravine making her witch more beautiful for some reason.

A quick apparate by Bellatrix and they were back in the Shrieking Shack bar clothes. That was an apparate she needed to learn.

Kinky.

It seemed her Bella would be insatiable for while. Not getting any for several years would do that to a person.

Mmm, not that she was complaining.

As Bella began to work her magic onto Hermione's body, the brunette just realized she had been a thirty four year old virgin since she was nineteen when the time limbo started. That piece of information- no one needed to hear.

AN: Happy Holidays! Sorry if this one is kind of short, I'm kind of under the weather. There might be a lot more scattered errors in this. x.x

Thank you for the feedback as always! Glad you liked the Battle Sex Doll.

This is what I was talking about last chapter about the book/movie scene. I took what happened to the Elder wand from the movie instead of the book. I just think burying the wand with Dumbledore was kind of dumb since it would probably be stolen or something. (Just my opinion!)

What will Hermione do with the Deathly Hallow Fragments? What else did Hermione liberate from the Ministry? Seriously though, I think Hermione can make a magical nuke with all the stuff she's been looting x.x

How is this Time-Turner not broken yet?! Don't worry though, this will be the last jump in time for a very long while. (There might not be another one since all the other Time-Turners are scrap anyway.)

Questions, comments, constructive criticism and suggestions are always appreciated!

Edit: Just some minor grammatical errors that I found~
