"STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!" Bellatrix started to throw hexes to the furniture of her living room. "Fucking Idiot! FUCKING BLOODY IDIOT!"
Since floo Network in The house of Black has been disabled, A crack echoed in the old house alarming the older woman of the arrival of her young lover. She turned around and found young Hermione with a terrified look on her face. No one uttered a word, Bellatrix afraid of saying something that she will regret and Hermione afraid of...well Bellatrix.
They have been together for quite some time, indeed. But that won't change the fact that Bella has anger issues, always acting on impulse and the show she did earlier was no help.
"You..." Bellatrix said in a low dangerous voice, she tightened her grip on her wand and strode forward to Hermione.
Hermione, on the other hand, keeps stepping back but then she ran out of the floor to step back into, her back hits the wall. Her eyes fixed to her angry lover, searching for the Bellatrix she slept with last night, the Bellatrix that gave her multiple kisses before they fell asleep with each other's naked warm bodies.
Bellatrix fisted Hermione's hair it was tight then it was not. A hand on Bellatrix's Torso made the older woman unclasp her hand to Hermione's hair completely.
Hermione felt a stinging pain has been removed from her scalp but a pointy wand on her chin was its exchange.
"Bella..." Hermione plead but did not show fear, she said the nickname in her sweetest whisper possible.
Only Bellatrix's face bittered even more. "Oh, don't Bella me."
"Love..." Hermione tried again
"Don't." Said Bellatrix through her gritted teeth, her left hand on her side, tucking it away from Hermione, to prevent herself from her hurting the girl even more.
Oh, Merlin, she knows what Hermione did was stupid but it will never change the fact that she is still her lover and she has hurt her lover enough today that she will punish herself if she will do even more.
A pointy wand still in Hermione's chin, it's not pressed enough to draw blood but painful enough to inflict a pain.
"How can you be so Selfish!?" Bellatrix screeched to the younger woman's face. "Why do you have to be so fucking stupid?!"
Hermione only shook her head, forcing herself not to cry. Hermione's hand tightened to Bellatrix's corset.
"Do you know the risks you did when you fucking decided to fucking offer yourself to Alecto!? For what?! Huh? To save Potter? Your boy toy?! For fuck's sake mudbl— SO FUCKING STUPID! do you know the lengths I had to do to take you from him!? DO YOU?!"
Bellatrix continued shouting at Hermione's face. Hermione shook her head.
"Their fucking respect towards me lowered because of you. Do you know what I have to tell The dark lord just to keep you alive?! I told him and the fuckers that you escaped from me! NO ONE EVER ESCAPED FROM ME! They'll either end up dead or not in their right minds before they do so!" Bella's wand pressed to Hermione's chin harder than she expected. Hermione's blood on her wand because of her own doing is the last thing she wanted.
"Is that what you're worried about? Your reputation? My friends almost died!—" Hermione was cut off by shouting again.
"YOUR FUCKING ACT MADE THE FUCKING DEATH EATERS SUSPICIOUS TOWARDS ME! THEIR EYES ARE ON ME NOW!" Bella could not take it anymore she punched the wall behind Hermione, right beside the younger woman's face.
Hermione flinched but refused to let the tear drop from her eyes.
Bellatrix sighed and put down both of her hands to her sides, her head is bowed, her eyes are closed. She started thinking.
Hermione removed her hands from Bella's torso and cupped Bella's face. Bella let her at first but backed away and said, "I don't want to see you ever again."
That's when all the tears that Hermione has been holding back started flowing. Hermione's fear, the eight-word sentence.
"What?" Hermione choked, Bellatrix did not look up as she already knows that it will break her to see her witch cry.
"We're done. I do not want to see your face ever again and if I do...I swear to God I will end you." Bellatrix forced herself to look up and to look at Hermione, thank Merlin she managed to keep her face straight.
"No. No. I...I refuse to." Hermione took a step forward and catch Bellatrix in her arms. She hugged the older woman though Bellatrix is not hugging her back she still held her tight.
Bellatrix cherished the moment and let seconds pass before she uttered, "Get. Off. Me. Filthy Mudblo—."
Hermione removed herself from Bella and gave her a hard slap. Bellatrix gained blood in the corner of her lips, but she looked at Hermione with a devil grin and licked the blood.
"That's the first and last you will do it to me. Do it again and I'll e—"
Slap.
Again to her, left, cheek this time.
Bella's nose flared and grasped Hermione's wrists, pushed her to the wall, and wide eyes she said, "Don't make me obliviate you, damn Girl. Don't make me hurt you, we both know you're gonna regret it." Through gritted teeth.
Hermione tears keep streaming down, This is not the Bella she loved, this is the Bella who tortured her months ago.
"Why?" Hermione whispered, her head bowed.
Bella's eyes still fixed to Hermione's face, studying the feature of the young witch's face as she thinks that Hermione will forever hate her and will never and refuse to see her again. So Beautiful and innocent.She doesn't deserve this.I'm sorry. Forgive me, my love.
"Serve or Protect. I have to serve to protect. I'd rather die than to see you hurting." Bella whispered, removing her grasped from Hermione's wrist and with quick reflexes, she took her wand out, pointed it to Hermione,
"Please don't do this Bella. My love, I won't do it again. I prom—" Hermione was cut off by Bellatrix's lips. Sweetness from Hermione's chapstick, Coffee from Bellatrix and Salty from their tears.
One last kiss
Bellatrix broke the kiss, put their foreheads together and whispered, "Im so sorry, My love. Obliviate." To her own surprise, tears started streaming down to her face even more. She pulled away from the younger woman, quickly.
She never let Hermione open her eyes to disapparate. When she landed to Black Manor, she never expected her heart to hurt like it was crushed to a million pieces and stomped on by thousands of people.
She's used to being lied on, betrayed on by people she trusted and treasured the most but her betraying, leaving, and hid things on to the person she ever loved so deeply since she was a teen hurts like a fuck.
There are only four people she cares the most. Narcissa, Draco, Andromeda and there goes Hermione. Hermione Jean Granger, insufferable know it all, Brave like a damn and true annoying Gryffindor that slithered her way in Bellatrix Black blackened heart.
Bellatrix smiled at the thought, but the young witch will never know that they shared lovely moments, day, and night these past few months. Erasing her own memory crossed her mind, but she thinks that suffering with the memories of her former lover suits her well. I deserve it, Bellatrix thought.
