A week went by and the group was getting a bit of cabin fever. Chandra sat at the table with her morning coffee, looking at everyone's bored faces. Bellatrix groaned and threw her head back looking a bit dramatic. Chandra rolled her eyes and stood, chugging the rest of her coffee before pulling Luna out of her seat.

"Up. Up, all of you. Were going out."

Bellatrix let out an even louder groan before Chandra jerked her chair back making the dark witch jump a bit before standing. Harry chuckled under his breath, earning a cold glare from Bella. Chandra looked at six of them.

"Fresh air...thats what we need. Now, get ready were going on a walk. I don't know where."

Bella went to speak before Chandra cut her off.

"No Bella don't wear your fucking dress, its hot as fuck."

Bella mocked her under her breath before going into hermiones room to change. Harry and Ron looked at their clothes and shrugged. As Bella rejoined the group Chandra began to push them to the door.

After about twenty minutes of walking the group actually started talking. Harry looked to Draco, making him wrinkle his nose as Potter began to speak.

"So, is there any particular reason you haven't been out of your room all week Malfoy?"

"Maybe I don't like your presence Potter…"

Bellatrix rolled her eyes as she listened. She was looking around at the muggles who were crowding the streets. When one of them seemed to look in hermiones direction a bit to long her grip on her waist tightened so much that Hermione grabbed her hand and dug her nails into it, while giving her a rude look.

Bellatrix, not understanding what she did wrong, gave her a questioning glance. Hermione pried herself out of bellas grasp and walked to Chandra,whispering to her. Chandra looked confused as she nodded. With that Hermione left the group, crossing the street and going into one of the buildings.

Chandra looked at Bella and shrugged with a look of shock and confusion, causing the dark witch to grind her teeth. She waved Chandra away as she followed Hermione.

As bella entered the small building Hermione was sitting at a table picking at her nails as she mumbled to herself. Bella sat in front of her, earning a light groan from the brunette. Bella ignored it and spoke.

"What did I do?"

"I'm not yours bella…"

Bellatrix narrowed her eyes and spoke in a low whisper as to not attract attention.

"You damned well are mine!"

Hermione groaned, annoyed with Bella and irritated with her own wording.

"No Bella, I mean I'm not a piece of property...and not every person you see wants me."

Bella stiffened as she listened to her speak.

"What's it going to be like when we're both at Hogwarts next term? Are you going to do that to all of my friends? You even did it to Harry the day he got here."

Bella jumped a bit as a young girl placed a cup on the table. Hermione thanked the girl and she left. Bella looked at her and sighed.

"Are you calling me possessive?"

"Yes Bella."

"Whats wrong with that!?"

"Nothing, I jus-"

"Just what?"

Hermione looked at her, shocked. She studied her face. She was completely normal but her eyes were fantic. Hermione narrowed her gaze as she spoke.

"You're not afraid of others… you're afraid of me."

Bellatrix rolled her eyes and laughed lightly.

"What?"

"Your afraid i'll leave."

Bellatrix went quiet as she stared at Hermione, her face slowly twisting up in anger. She gritted her teeth until her jaw ached. She was trying to think before speaking but Hermione beat her to it.

"Why would I? Other than doing nothing but talk and have sex, I'm happy."

Bella glared at her, trying to understand what she was saying. Hermione took her hand, running her thumb along the back of it and smiled. Bella calmed down a bit, kissing the girl's hand. She looked at her with a small grin.

"So you want more Than talk and sex?"

Hermione sipped her drink and looked at the grinning witch, waiting for her to continue.

"What would you like to do then, pet?"

"Well...we've already ditched everyone…we can have the day to ourselves…"

Bellatrix smiled and the two of them left the shop.

A few blocks away the group was walking when Luna let out a playful sound. Chandra turned to see Luna knelt next to a small pin filled with what looked like fluff balls with faces. The woman that was sitting next to the pin smiled and spoke to Luna.

"They are really sweet. We just can't keep them because they get quite large."

"They are adorable, I just wish my school allowed dogs as pets."

"That's a shame, they make great companions. If you know anyone who can take one, send them our way, they are free."

Luna nodded and smiled before rejoining the boys. Chandra let them walk a bit further away before she pulled out her phone, texting her mom.

Chandra: Mom I need you to come pick up one of the fluffy dog things on mane Street.

Mom: Not another dog…

Chandra: its not for me mom please just do it...bring it to my place tonight around 9.

Mom: ugh...fine…

Chandra smiled at the woman, giving a wave before running to catch up with the group. When she caught she nearly ran into Luna as she struggled to stop. Luna moved aside and caught the unsteady woman, laughing as Chandra finally corrected her footing. The boys laughed and Luna questioned the happy redhead.

"What were you doing?"

"Oh nothing, let's get something to eat."

Bellatrix walked with Hermione, listening to her questions and answering the ones that she could think of an answer to.

"Favorite color?"

"Green."

"Obviously… Favorite food?"

"Uh...anything edible."

Hermione laughed and nudged her lightly, letting a small smile tug at her lips. Bella returned the smile and kissed the girl's nose before speaking in a soft tone.

"What about you, Ms. Golden girl… favorite color?"

Hermione looked down slightly, watching her feet as she blushed.

"Silver, but I'm getting quite fond of black."

Bellatrix grinned as she continued.

"Favorite type of book?"

"Murder mystery. I guess its Chandras influence but I love the tension…"

Bella nodded in agreement while rolling her eyes a bit. She looke at Hermione warmly and thought for a moment. What could she do to open up and make Hermione happy. She went through her options before asking.

"Do you think you could show me one of those movies tonight?"

Hermione looked at her, full of surprise. She didn't know what to say. Usually Bella didn't want anything to do with muggle things. She pulled herself out of her thoughts and smiled.

"Well, yeah. On one condition."

"That is?"

"You choose what we watch."

Bella smiled and wrapped her arm lightly around the girl as they walked.

"Deal."
