It was a dreary Tuesday as Hermione headed out the door for work. Narcissa had packed her a lunch, she handed it to the younger witch and kissed her on the cheek before she could step outside. This made Hermione smile from ear to ear. She loved that the older blonde witch did so much for her.
Not long after Hermione stepped into work she was being called into Bellatrix's office. "What is it," Hermione inquired.
"I have a very high profile client I will be needing you to deal with today," Bellatrix stated.
After receiving all the details Hermione grabbed her coat and headed to the local pub where she would be meeting their new client. Hermione sat at the wooden table. She ordered an orange juice, considering some might think it too early to drink. She had not been there long when the person she was suppose to be meeting walked in the door. Hermione stood up and went to greet the person.
Hermione had never seen this girl before. She was very tall with intense green eyes. Her hair was long and brown. It had an unruly curl to it, but the girl had fixed it in such a way that it seemed almost sophisticated. Hermione was instantly drawn to her. She couldn't take her eyes off her. She also noticed the girl couldn't take her eyes off Hermione.
They had a rather lengthy breakfast and discussed the future plans for the wizard world. Hermione told her all about the plans Bellatrix had and how they were working really hard to better the world. The girl took it all in and seemed to hang on every word that Hermione said. They wrapped up breakfast. Hermione wanted more time with the girl, she wasn't quite ready to depart so she offered to take her back to the office and introduce her to the staff, and perhaps she could meet Bellatrix in person.
The girl was relieved that she got to spend more time with Hermione. They slowly made their way back to the building where Hermione worked. They would often stand too close to each other, occasionally brushing their hands against each other. Every time this happened she felt a bolt of electricity run through her body.
When they arrived at the looming dark building Hermione held the door open for the girl. She led her up the stairs to the floor where Hermione and Bellatrix's offices were. Hermione slowly approached the dark witches door. She knocked softly. She didn't know if she really wanted to introduce this lovely girl to Bellatrix but it would have to come eventually. She was a client after all. Hermione waited for a response, but didn't get any. As she turned to walk away she heard Bellatrix tell them to come in.
Hermione entered the room full speed ahead, but shortly after surveying the room she stopped in her tracks. Narcissa was there, and she was visibly upset. But now was not the time to ask what was wrong. Hermione stuck out her hand and pointed at their guest, "This is the new client, I just wanted to introduce her to the staff…," Hermione trailed off. She was uncomfortable with this situation, and she mentally kicked her self for rushing into this predicament. If only she had waited till next week, she wouldn't be standing in the cross fires of whatever was going on between the two sisters.
The girl bowed her head gracefully and introduced herself, "It is a pleasure to meet you ma'am, and i presume this is the other Black sister," she said. Narcissa nodded. After a few moments of awkward silence, Narcissa offered the young girl a seat. Hermione took the seat next to her, and they proceeded to talk about business as usual. Narcissa didn't want to appear an unthoughtful host so she poured their guest tea and set out a tray of cookies. The conversation went on for quite some time. The girl was very interested in all the things that had been going on and the plans for the future. She had more than enough questions.
It was becoming ever apparent that Hermione had taken notice of the girl. Hermione was letting her gaze linger just to long and was finding reasons to rest her hands on the girls leg. Narcissa and Bellatrix were not happy about this. There was enough competition between the two of them already, they didn't need to add another person to the mix. Bellatrix subtly reached under her desk. In a flash the dark witch had pulled out her wand and cursed the girl sitting across the room. The girl didn't even know what was coming to her, she had no time to react, and the carefully cast spell hit her square in the chest.
Hermione looked up into Bellatrix's glooming eyes. She could see the jealousy dripping from them. She chanced a look over at Narcissa whose eyes reflected how happy she was that the girl was no longer a threat. "What the hell did you do that for?" Hermione shrieked.
"It had to be done. You were getting too close to her," Bellatrix was fast to respond.
"Yea but you didn't have to knock her out like that, you could of just made up a reason for her to leave."
"You need to understand that these things aren't tolerated. If you are going to be with Bellatrix and myself, then it is just Bellatrix and myself that you should be interested in," this time it was Narcissa who was explaining.
Hermione slowly began to understand. She realized that these two were insanely jealous, and they had dealt with it as if they were toddlers. Hermione couldn't help but crack a smile. Hermione knew that both of these older witches cared about her more than anything else, even if they had odd ways of showing it.
Hermione helped Narcissa take the girl down stairs. They cast a few memory erasing spells and sent her on her way. The poor girl must be more confused than ever, Hermione thought to herself.
The three witches decided to call it a day and they all went home together. That night they did everything together. They made dinner and ate. They all read books in the living room to calm down from the days events. At the close of the night they all put on their night gowns and they all crawled into Hermione's bed. It was Bellatrix who fell asleep first. Hermione listened to the rhythmic breathing coming from her. Not long after, Narcissa was off in dream land. Hermione closed her eyes and listened to the silence. She thought back on everything that had happened that day.
Hermione thought she really was the luckiest girl in the world. She had two beautiful women who loved her so much, how would she ever be able to choose, all three of them fit together so perfectly. Even if they were all a little nuts.
Author note: Okay, be excited. I finally figured out who I wanted Hermione to end up with. It was a huge internal conflict for me, and I was having a hard time choosing one. But the next update will most likely be the last chapter. I have it mostly wrapped up but if anyone has any input let me know. Reviews are always much appreciated and welcomed. thanks.
