The next morning everyone enjoyed a wonderful breakfast. Andie and Bella talked and laughed as Hermione ate. Everyone looked up as the tired looking duo of Tonks and Chandra walked in. Andie smiled at them.
"You decided to bunk with Dora?"
"We watched a total of six movies… Do you have coffee?"
"Yes dear, help yourself."
Chandra staggered over to the coffee, her boots dragging a bit as she walked. Tonks sat next to Hermione and picked at the food on her plate. She finally ate some, perking up at the taste.
"Mom, this is good."
"I didn't make it, I only chose the ingredients."
"Who made it, hermione?"
"No."
Her eyes locked on to her aunt's smug face.
"You cooked this?"
"Yes."
"You can cook?"
"Yes."
"Oh…"
"Do you taste the poison?"
"What!?"
Andie smacked her sister's arm and Bella laughed. Tonks rolled her eyes, shoveling more food into her mouth. Chandra sat down and took a drink of her coffee before digging in.
After breakfast Bella stood in the living room with andie. Her sister had her wrapped in a rather painful hug.
"Please come visit anytime you want. It was so wonderful to see you."
"I will Andie."
Andie let go of Bella and smiled.
"I only wish Cissy was with you."
"Write to her, Andie. She misses you terribly."
As Andie's eyes filled with tears Bella wrapped her arms around her.
"I love you, Andie. I promise I'll visit again soon."
As she let go of her little sister Chandra and Hermione walked in. Andie looked at them with a smile as she wiped her eyes.
"Oh Hermione, it is so nice to have you in the family too. I hope you will visit also? And you too Chandra."
Hermione and Chandra smiled and nodded. Andie walked over to them and wrapped them in a hug, which they happily returned. The older woman then looked at Hermione.
"You take care of Bella. She can be stubborn."
Hermione laughed a bit and nodded in agreement.
"Believe me I know."
Andie said her goodbyes to the three women. She held back tears as she hugged Bella one last time before they left.
Chandra's mansion
Luna sat on the sofa watching an argument between Harry and Draco. She had lost interest in what they were talking about, she had been watching the clock for the last thirty minutes. It was now nine at night. She was beginning to worry if someone had seen them or if something worse had happened when the mansion filled with a loud popping sound. Luna and the boys stopped what they were doing and listened, not knowing if it was the others or professor McGonagall. They sat frozen until a voice called out from the kitchen.
"Why the fuck is there so many dishes in my sink?"
Luna smiled and pushed past the boys and ran to the kitchen, leaving the boys looking at each other with equally rude looks that read, ' we will finish this later.' As Luna made it into the kitchen she skirted past Bella and Hermione, who were already on their way to their room. Luna collided with Chandra, wrapping her arms around her waist, making Chandra stumble a bit.
Chandra let out a low chuckle as she wrapped her arms around the blonde. Luna's arms tightened in response and Chandra kissed her head.
"I missed you, Luna."
"I missed you too."
They stood there like that for a moment before Chandra heard a tapping from across the room. She looked up to see Bellatrix. The dark witch raised a brow and sarcastically gestured towards Luna and mouthed the words ' say it. ' Chandra blushed and froze and Bella let out a silent groan before disappearing into her room.
Hermione's room
Bellatrix closed the door and turned to find the room empty. She stood confused before hearing the sound of running water. She made her way to the bathroom. When she opened the door Hermione was taking her shirt off. She hadn't noticed Bella yet and the dark witch decided to silently enjoy the show.
As the brunette undressed Bella took in every aspect of her body. Her tanned skin, how she was slender but perfectly toned and how she even had a few freckles across both of her shoulders. When Hermione was down to her underwear Bella walked up to her, gently placing her hands on the girls hips as she kissed the back of her neck. Hermione smiled lightly and turned around, kissing the dark witch.
Bella looked at the girl's face. She wore a beautiful weak smile and her eyes seemed like they would close at any moment.
"Are you tired, pet?"
"No."
"Are you lying?"
Hermione groaned as she rested her head against Bella's.
"I thought we were going to do something fun when we got home?"
"Wouldn't you rather be awake for it?"
"I am awake…"
"Fully awake."
Hermione let out a small defeated groan and Bella smiled.
"Would you like some company?"
"You want to take a bath with me?"
"Is that a no?"
"No, I'm just surprised…"
"Well don't be."
Bellatrix unclasped Hermione's bra and slid it off of the girl. As she threw it aside Hermione finished getting undressed and turned the water off. Bella waved her wand, getting rid of her clothes before climbing into the large tub. Hermione stepped in, sitting between Bella's legs. Hermione blushed as Bella pulled her back, making her lay against her.
As Bella and Hermione soaked, the dark witch gently rubbed the brunette's shoulders, making the girl relax. Bella smiled as the sound of light snoring reached her ears. She laid there for a few more moments, enjoying the hot water and the feeling of Hermione pressed against her. After a while she picked the girl up with little effort and left the bathroom.
She laid Hermione on the bed, before kissing her lips softly. She smiled as she waved her wand, dressing Hermione in a black nightie. She got herself dressed and got in bed, wrapping an arm around the sleeping girl. She placed a kiss on her shoulder before closing her eyes and getting comfortable for the night.
In the living room Ron and Harry sat watching television when Chandra blocked Ron's view.
"Uh Chandra, could you move…"
"No. You know, me asking about the dishes wasn't just me talking for the hell of it."
"Okay…"
"One of you or both of you can go clean them."
Ron went to protest before Chandra gave him an irritated look. He decided against arguing and nudged Harry. The two boys made their way into the kitchen as Luna walked into the living room.
" You're not tired Chandra?"
Chandra turned to her with a smile.
"I'm always tired…"
"Well, let's go lay down."
"Oh you're actually going to lay down with me?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"It's just rare that you lay with me and not give me bad news."
Luna looked a little hurt by the comment and Chandra grabbed her hand.
"I didn't move you into my room to be alone...come on."
Chandra pulled Luna to their room and closed the door behind them. She let go of Luna's hand and sat on the bed. As she began to unlace her boots, Luna stopped her, doing it herself. Chandra found it a little odd but smiled as Luna looked up at her. When her boots were finally off Luna sat by her and rested her head on the taller woman's shoulder.
"I really did miss you."
"I missed you too, Luna."
The room went silent for a while as the girls just sat there. Chandra could hear Bella's taunting voice in her head. Why was she do scared? The worst that could happen is that she doesn't say it back…or say she doesn't feel the same. Chandra's heart raced so fast that she feared she would go into an attack. She panicked and the words fumbled out of her mouth.
"Luna, I love you."
Luna smiled at her for a moment, looking into her eyes. Chandra started to feel as if Luna was searching for something when the blond spoke.
"That took longer than I expected...I love you too."
Chandra smiled as a wave of relief came over her and Luna pressed their lips together. Chandra wrapped her arms around the blonde and fell back onto the bed, making Luna laugh and end the kiss.
"Your a very patient person, aren't you, Luna."
"I don't find it polite to rush people. Rushing feelings is worse I believe."
"You saying it first wouldn't have ben rushing…"
"No but your rather shy… I wanted you to be the first one."
Chandra thought for a moment and smiled.
"If you said it first I probably would have had a heartattack. I'm not good with the feelings thing…"
Luna smiled at her and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
"I think your doing just fine."
