After a while Chandra and Luna rejoined the group. Bellatrix was asleep on the sofa with her head propped up on her fist as Hermione laid against her, still playing the game. Draco poked his head out of the kitchen when he saw the two girls pass and quickly spoke.

"Hey Chandra, do you have any sweets?"

Chandra turned to look at him and his eyes drifted down to see her hand in Luna's. He blushed and huffed as he spoke once more.

"What?! Your really gay?"

The two women looked at each other then back at him. Chandra gave him a weird look before speaking.

"What gave it away? My obsession with your aunt or holding Luna's hand?"

Draco crossed his arms and glared at her.

"No need to be rude, Goldwing…"

Chandra walked over to him and messed up his hair while talking in a sweet mocking tone.

"Awe poor Draco, so clueless. It's so precious that you thought i'm straight."

Draco swatted her hand away, frantically fixing his hair as he glared at her. Chandra laughed and pulled him into a rough hug.

"Cheer up blondie, we're family."

Draco gave an odd smile only for it to fade to horror as Chandra spoke again.

"Which means you get way more teasing and a much more brutal ass beating if you ever wrong me...or Mione's and her friends."

Draco gulped as Chandra's bracelets dug into his arms.

"Got it blondie?"

"Crystal clear, Chandra."

She let go of him patting his shoulder with a smile on her face.

"Now, come on. Hermiones hogging the game and I want to beat it before sunrise."

Luna nudged Draco's arm, getting the boy to smile before her and Chandra went into the living room. Draco disappeared into the kitchen and emerged a few seconds later with a slice of cheesecake. He walked to the sofa and plopped down into his spot between Luna and Hermione. The sudden movement woke his aunt, who groaned in protest.

Bellatrix looked to the clock, over the television and rolled her eyes.

"You all are still at this? It's nearly midnight…"

Hermione handed the remote to Luna as she spoke.

"New games are usually an all night thing in this house."

Bella sat up a bit, looking at the group, catching sight of Luna, sitting with her legs over Chandra. Bella grinned and nudged Hermione, gesturing to the two girls. When Hermione looked over she smiled.

"Aww aren't you two just precious."

Chandra glared at her cousin as she put an arm around Luna, pulling the blonde toward her. Luna smiled, her eyes glued to the screen as she played.

The five of them played for hours, even getting Bella to try it. She only tried for about five minutes before getting irritated and tossing the remote to Hermione, earning a laugh from everyone.

Around three in the morning they were still steadily playing the game. The glass table in front of them was cluttered with empty cans, boxes and dishes. As they finished a level Bellatrix and Chandra perked up to the sound of a meowing cat. Crookshanks was asleep in Hermione's lap. Chandra got up and followed the sound, her wand drawn. The sound led to the front door. As she swung it open a short haired, striped cat sauntered in. Chandra sighed, still holding the door open as she cursed to herself.

As she turned around she was greeted by professor McGonagall. The professor smiled as she nodded at Chandra, who finally let the door close as the professor began to speak.

"I apologize for coming back so soon, may we all talk?"

Chandra nodded and led her to the living room where the others waited. Upon seeing McGonagall Bellatrix's whole body tensed up. She looked at the professor calmly.

"Two visits within twenty-four hours? How can we help you?"

"I have come to inform you that Mr. Potter has been filled in on the situation."

Hermione looked down, feeling guilty for some reason. She knew her friends would hate her now that they knew. She felt as if she was about to cry until she heard a familiar voice.

"You could have told us Mione…"

"What…"

Hermione jumped up and rushed toward where the voice came from. She grasped at what looked like nothing next to McGonagall and jerked hard, revealing Harry and Ron.

The two boys waved, giving uneasy smiles as Hermione glared angrily at them. Bellatrix stood and gripped her wand as Hermione shoved Harry.

"You! You called me a traitor! You had your wand pointed at me!"

Mcgonagall separated the two of them before speaking.

"Everyone of you was in a different state of mind that night, I'm sure Potter feels as bad as you do about the things he said."

Harry looked down and fixed his glasses.

"I do… if I knew what was really going on I would have never treated you like that."

Hermione snapped back with a sharp tone.

"Instead you saw Chandra's dark mark and judged me on that...and inturn judged her wrongly too!"

Chandra spoke up shortly.

"Only partly."

"Shut up Chandra!"

"Okay...Damn…"

She returned her attention to Harry, her body shaking from anger. She glared at him, her throat raw from screaming. Bella stood behind her and rubbed her arms, trying to calm her down.

"Go sit. McGonagall obviously knows what she is doing and Harry seems genuine enough. Just go calm down."

Hermione gave him one more cold look before she went to the sofa. Bellatrix looked between the two boys and McGonagall. When she went to speak to Harry the room was filled with the popping sound of apparition. Bella looked back over to see McGonagall was gone. Chandra groaned loudly and jumped up, throwing her hands up.

"Oh my God this isn't a fucking hotel! She can't just leave them here! Are we really going to go with what she says?"

Bellatrix sharply glared at her, making the redhead shut up. Chandra mumbled and lit a cigarette and blew a puff of smoke while she looked at them. Satisfied with the silence Bellatrix turned back to Harry.

"How is Sirius?"

"He's fine...I could have sworn you hit him with the killing curse."

"Not quite…"

"Well whatever you did...thank you."

Hermione glared at them as they talked. She was trying to calm down but she just couldn't. She looked over to Chandra, who just simply showed her a single cigarette and waved her over. Hermione quietly made her way over and took it from her, taking a few drags and sitting on the windowsill. She listened to their muffled conversation about the prophecy and closed her eyes until Ron spoke to her.

"Mione, are you smoking?"

Hermione looked up to see Chandra inching away from her. When she looked at the three across the room she went red. The two boys eyed her with confused looks and Bella stood with her arms crossed and her brow raised, as if waiting for an answer.

"Chan-"

Hermione turned to see that Chandra and Luna had disappeared. She cursed under her breath and put the cigarette out, her eyes meeting with the group again as she went on the defensive.

"This isn't the issue right now! Are you supposed to stay here?"

Harry nodded slowly and inched away from Bellatrix, who was still glaring at Hermione. Ron snickered and spoke through laughs.

"I think a habit like that needs to be addressed on the first date…"

"It's not a habit Ronald!"

Bellatrix interrupted.

"No, Weasley is right. I'm a bit surprised, but really who wouldn't smoke...when dealing with those two every day."

Ron laughed and Harry nudged him in the ribs, waking him cough.

"What?"

"Ron, she's talking about us.."

"Ah...a bit harsh…"

Hermione huffed and lit her cigarette again. Just then Chandra came in holding her wand lightly, coffee cups hovering in front of her. She smiled as she spoke.

"Well if you two gotta stay here with us this summer then you're gonna help beat this damn game, so drink up. Caffeine will be your best friend in my house."

Ron grabbed a cup and laughed.

"I alway did like you Chandra, you are a bit scary though."

"Awe thanks Ron, now drink…"

He shrugged and took a drink as Luna walked up and kissed Chandra on the cheek, making Ron spit his coffee back into his cup.

"Bloody Hell...does everyone here have a girlfriend?"

Chandra cleared the table and placed the cups on it. With another wave of her wand the blacks cups ere adorned with everyone's name on their own. Chandra put her wand up and picked her cup up. As Hermione picked hers up she questioned.

"Were the names really needed?"

"Yes, I don't want any of you drinking out of mine."

Bellatrix wrapped her arm around Hermione's waist and looked at Harry.

"I suppose that bringing you here may have saved Hermione a bit of grief. But you still open called her a deatheater…"

Harry shifted as he looked at his coffee. He felt his stomach twist as he remembered his actions. He forced himself to speak.

"I know, I'm sorry. Next year will be hard for a while but I will do my best to fix that."

Ron nodded in agreement and Hermione smiled lightly.

"Thank you. I guess its all I can really ask for."

"No problem Hermione...were truly lost without you."

He looked at the rag-tag group of students and deatheaters and smiled.

"I was worried about Luna too...but it seems like she finally got to Chandra so everything worked out for her in the end…"

Hermione looked at Harry as ashe handed Bella her cup.

"You knew about them?"

"Luna doesn't have a filter Hermione. She always defended your cousin when others suspected things and would contanty try to be close to her while we were in training. I'm surprised Chandra never caught on, or even noticed."

Hermione smiled and shrugged before Harry continued.

"What I don't know is how you two got started…"

Hermione blushed and Bella lightly squeezed her as she chuckled. The dark witch sat her cup on the windowsill before answering.

"Well… my sister went behind my back because I planned on going against the prophecy. She brought her to Malfoy manor for winter break and forced me to spend time with her."

"Oh so thats where she went… did it go well?"

"After I failed to kill her...yes."

Harry stared blankly at them over the edge of his cup in shock for a moment before recovering his thoughts.

"Well aren't you two just a lovely couple."

Bellatrix smiled sweetly and tightened her grip on Hermione's waist. Seeing this, Harry decided to change the subject.

"Is Draco here by chance?"

Hermione looked around to find him but he was nowhere to be found. She looked at him and shrugged.

"He was. I guess he ran off somewhere. Why?"
