I'm so sorry this has took so long to get out. I've just been focused on too many other things and not in the mood to write, forgive me. Leave some encouragement. Please and thank you.

Bellatrix and Hermione apparated outside of the house they shared with Narcissa. Hermione ran to the front door, as much as she hated to admit it, this felt like home and she was glad to be home. As Hermione walked through the door she spotted Narcissa sitting in an oversized chair with a book on her lap. Narcissa looked up and she let her mouth drop open without even realizing it. "She goes away for a few weeks with you and this is what you turn her into?" Narcissa said accusingly to Bellatrix.

Hermione quickly realized she was still wearing her black garb and probably looked nothing like herself. With a flick of her wand the clothes disappeared and the old Hermione was back. Hermione ran over and sat next to Narcissa wrapping her arms around the older blonde witch. "I missed this place, and I missed you," Hermione said. Narcissa returned the hug and smiled. She whispered in Hermione's ear, "I didn't mind your new wardrobe, I was just commenting on it."

With that Bellatrix huffed and left the room, she wasn't into sharing her toys. Hermione relayed the events of what had happened on their vacation to Narcissa. Hermione even showed off some of the new spells that Bellatrix had taught her. Narcissa seemed genuinely happy to have her sister and Hermione back home safe.

Hermione couldn't wait to go to sleep in her own bed that night. She had unpacked her bag of belongings and then crawled between the cold sheets. She quickly curled up and found a comfy spot on the bed. She was fast asleep before she knew it. That evening she had lustful dreams of both of the sisters.

The next morning when she woke up she was more confused than ever before. She threw on a white shirt, black boots, and black jeans. She was still trying to impress Bellatrix without having to wear the uncomfortable dresses that Bellatrix donned. Hermione walked out of her room and into the living room where she found the two older witches deep in conversation. They almost didn't notice her enter, but when Bellatrix finally looked up Hermione caught a glimpse of lust in her eyes.

"We can't do it with out her," Bellatrix was pleading

"But it's not safe out there, we need to come up with another plan," was Narcissa's counter argument.

Hermione wandered what exactly they were talking about. It soon became clear. Bellatrix wanted to send Hermione out with Harry so she could help him destroy the rest of the Horcrux's. Narcissa wanted Hermione to stay safe with them, and she wanted Belaltrix to take Hermione to destroy the Horcruxs themselves.

"I can go. I'll do it." Hermione was speaking in a quick tone, trying not to sound too overly excited at the chance to help. "I swear I won't betray you. Those people mean nothing to me now. They haven't come after me, but the two of you, you've kept me safe. And over the last few weeks, I've even been happy. It has to be Harry. We all know that. So let me help him." There was a certain level of pleading that rest in Hermione's eyes. She longed for the women to trust her on a mission.

Bella's eyes turned to Narcissa, who was frowning at Hermione. "I swear…" Narcissa began. "The two of you are like kids at the market. I've been double-teamed." Rolling her eyes and waving a hand, Bellatrix hugged her sister. It was obvious to Hermione that this meant Narcissa was bending to their will. She too launched herself at the blonde woman and hugged her. This was the first moment that Hermione had felt as happy as she had before her capture. She had someone new to call family and she was gratefully throwing herself into the opportunity.

"Lets get you ready!" Bellatrix announced with something akin to glee. She hopped off the floor and grabbed Hermione's wrist, leading her to her bedroom. When they got there, Bellatrix threw all of Hermione's clothes into a small sac, much like the one Hermione had herself.

""I want you to know that I will be constantly checking on you and I want you to give me full reports on everything that happens," Bellatrix instructed her. "I will give you information on a need to know basis on how to locate the Horcruxs. I don't want you guys to try and destroy them yourselves."

Hermione nodded in understanding. All Bellatrix needed to know was that she understood, then she started to cast spells to make Hermione's clothes look tattered, and her skin dirty. Hermione was not going to tell Harry about the relationship that she had developed with Bellatrix and Narcissa. She wasn't even going to tell him who she was with. Belaltrix told her that if they ask for any sort of story, Hermione should tell them she was captured by death eaters, tortured for information, then kept in a cell.

After Hermione was ready she walked into the living room to tell the two witches goodbye. A few tears fell from her eyes. She was going to miss the two sisters. They had become her eccentric family and she learned to care about them and protect them with every fiber in her being. Hermione gave both of them hugs goodbye, then she apparated to the burro.

She knocked on the front door, and was met by Mrs. Weasly. It had been so long since she had seen the old woman, her eyes had more worry lines in them than what she remembered. Her hair was little grayer and her eyes were a little more tired. The older witch enveloped Hermione into a very tight bear hug, while beckoning the other people in the house to come quickly. Soon there were a ton of people greeting Hermione. She was a little overwhelmed and she realized she had missed all of these people. But not one of them had ever done as much for her as the Black sisters had. They hadn't even came to look for her, and she was in plain sight.

Harry and Ron were last to greet Hermione they were both anxious and excited to see her. They wanted to know everything about where she had been, but Molly insisted that Hermione take a shower and get cleaned up first. They would have plenty of time to catch up.

Hermione turned on the shower and waited for the water to warm up. She pulled off her tattered clothes and ran her fingers threw her bushy hair as she waited. She already missed the bathroom she had become accustom to, it wasn't very big but it was a lot more accommodating than this. Hermione took a quick shower and washed away her worry. She got out and put on some loose fitting pajamas. She took a deep breath preparing herself to face Harry and Ron.

She slowly walked up the stairs dreading what was to come. They were her old friends, but she had lost any respect or caring for them. She didn't want to sit in a room with them and listen to how worried they were about her even though they didn't do anything to find her.

Hermione braced herself and opened the door to Ron's room. Harry and Ron were sitting on the bed having a conversation. As soon as they saw Hermione enter they stopped mid sentence. Hermione took a seat on the floor facing them.

They stayed up long into the night. Hermione told them the fake story about her capture. She went on to tell them that she had learned about the Horcrux's while she was in captivity. She told them they needed to leave and work on finding all of them. She told them it was the only way to destroy Voldemort.

They decided they would leave the next night. They would work on packing some belongings they would need and then when everyone was asleep the three would sneak out and start on their adventure.
