Hermione undergoes some serious teasing plus a pretty amazing bath time. Warning SMUT ahead!

I just want to shout out to all my amazing reviewers! You really have kept me invested in this story and there is so much more to come :) plan was to upload weekly but currently it's daily. I don't know how long I can keep this up for but I'm gonna damn well try!

"Either way that's a discussion for annother day. For now little witch let's get you clean."

They headed to the bathroom with Hermione still wrapped protectively in her arms. Unlike Hermione room, which had a shower, Bella had a very large bath.

"That's not fair! I only got a shower!"

"So did I little one, but we are witches after all!'

"Smartest witch of my age and can't even change a shower into a bath" She grumbled.

"You ARE the smartest witch of your age but so was I and I've had lots of time to practice since school. I can teach you if you like? But for now let's get you in."

"Please don't leave me"

"I wasn't planning on it little witch."

"Ok good." She stepped into the warm water and reached for Bella's hand. As she made contact Hermione concentrated on their magic and how it was interconnected, she sent a pulse of need through her hand and the magic responded. Bella was now stood beside the bath without a stitch of clothing on.

Hermione looked rather smug but also a little overwhelmed with the amount of skin on display.

"I thought we agreed we where getting clean?"

"Can't get in the bath with clothes on" She offered up innocently, whilst drinking in every inch of pale skin.

"You are going to be the death of me. Scooch forward."

She elegantly stepped behind Hermione and pulled the girl up against her body. Hermione moaned as she felt Bella's nipples graze her back. Bella's hands where wrapped securely around the young witch's body and Hermione let her head fall back onto Bella's shoulder.

"How the hell did this happen in a week"

"I don't think this was all in a week little one, I think it's been coming since the manor. We just needed to be in the right situation. I don't think the battle of Hogwarts was really the place or time. Plus until then you thought we were on opposite sides of the war."

"No, you're probably right. What the hell are we going to say to Minnie?"

"I don't know pet. But this..it might be premature to say but this is too special to sneak around. I'm not suggesting we tell the whole student body but I would like to be able to be seen with you by staff and not have to answer difficult questions."

"It's definitely way to early to say but... I agree. Maybe we can blame it on the scar?"

"Ye, maybe. But speaking of scars. give me your arm little witch."

"Already?"

"I promise one day I'll give you one you can keep for a few days. But not this, and not now."

Hermione nodded, Bella picked up her wand from the small table next to the bath and when Hermione gave Bella her arm she quickly healed the 'Bella's whore' scar.

"I really am going to miss that."

"Oh however will you cope without a scar of mine permanently on your body" Bella's said sarcastically.

"You know what I mean! This one was..."

"Kinky? Sexy? Ownership?"

"Hmmm I like that last one"

"I bet you do little one." she leaned closer to Hermione's ear "but scar or no scar you are still my whore"

"If you keep talking like that I'm going to make you take me right here in this bath."

"Mmmm I forgot how horny those teenager hormones can make you. Who am I to deny my pet what she needs." Her voice suddenly full of authority she said "Hands around my neck and don't let go"

Hermione reached her arms up behind her and clasped her hands behind Bella's neck, Bella then hooked her legs over Hermione's forcing her legs open wide.

"I do enjoy it when you're spread open for me like this. So vulnerable, so needy."

A hand snaked down and started to slowly circle the girls clit.

"Is this what you need little one? Do you need me to make it all better?"

Hermione could only let out small contented sighs. This was not the hard and fast fuck they had had before, this was soft, caring and gentle.

"That's it baby girl. Relax, I've got you. It feels so good doesn't it. My perfect little slut. So needy."

A hand tangled into dark curls as Hermione clung to her. She could feel herself building again but this time it was much softer. It snuck upon her like silent snow fall, gentle building until you're snowed in, never really knowing how it happened.

It was strange to be on the recieving end of compassion and care from Bellatrix but Hermione couldn't stop this moment if she tried. She didn't want the moment to end.

"Oh my good little witch, I am so proud of you. You block my spells, you block me out of your mind, you torment me with your need for me, you are my perfect little whore."

Hermione sighs had changed to soft moans and Bella knew she was close.

"That's my good girl. Let go Hermione, Let go"

This time when Hermione Climaxed she did so with a gentle "Ooh" it sounded to Bella like she hadn't truly been expecting it. It was one of the most beautiful sounds that Bella had ever heard.

"You are so good. I am so proud of you."

Hermione once again was curled up on her lap and she softly stroked wet hair away from her face.

"Let's get you actually clean shall we?"

Bella set about washing Hermione thoroughly, she even washed her hair in a shampoo that smelled strongly of cinnamon. When she was clean she stood to help her out the bath, wrapped her in a large towel and cast a quick drying charm. She then walked them back to the bed.

Bella climbed in "Come here little one" she said opening her arms. "I know you can't stay much later, tomorrow is Monday afterall and I don't want you sleeping through your lessons. But let me hold you for a while."

Hermione climbed into her arms and yawned. "Please don't make me go."

"You've got to at some point little witch. Otherwise Red will come knocking in the morning and how will you explain why you're not there?"

"Ok, I'll go later. Just five more minutes"

"Ok little one, five more minutes"

Hermione happily snuggled in closer and closer her eyes, breathing in the scent of the dark witch.

She was awoken by soft kisses to her forehead.

"Hey sleepyhead, it's time to go. Red will be at your door in less than an hour. I don't want you to go but I left you as long as I could."

"You...you let me stay?"

"How could I kick you out when you looked so peaceful."

"How long was I out?"

"About 7 hours, maybe 8"

"I didn't have nightmares."

"What?"

"Nightmares. I've had them every night since the war but not last night."

"Maybe you were just exhausted. But regardless of how well you slept if you don't want to get caught on your walk of shame, you do need to head back to your own bed now."

"I know. We're going to have to talk to Minnie soon. Because if sleeping in your arms means I don't have nightmares l, then that meeting needs to come sooner rather than later"

God I really could fall for this girl

"What!!"

"Hu? What? What's going on?"

"I heard that. Why did you say that in my mind? Were you even talking to me?"

"Wait, what did you hear. I didn't put anything in your mind?"

"I heard" She flushed pink "God I really could fall for this girl"

"Hermione, I didn't put that in your head. I just thought it inside my own. I promise you I wasn't projecting."

"And I heard you?"

"You did. Hermione I've never... no one has ever been able to break my walls to read my thoughts before."

"But I wasn't trying, at least not intentionally. I don't even have my wand."

"We need to talk to Minnie. ASAP. I'll send you a date and time through the quill. But for now you've got to go to your own bed. If Red arrives and you're not there she will want the whole story and something tells me you're not ready to give it just yet."

Bella kissed Hermione on the nose and then leant in for a lingering kiss, full of need and want.

"Bed, now!"

Hermione stood and started to collect her clothes. Quickly fixing them and slipping them on. When she was finished she sat on the edge of the bed.

"I had the best night last night, thank you Bella"

She leaned forwards and captured red lips in a burning kiss.

"Hopefully that can hold me till next time. I'll keep an eye out for the quill. Bye Bella"

"Bye pet"

Hermione cast a notice-me-not spell on herself as she existed Bella's door and quickly walked to her own. Thank god it was only next door.

She slipped inside and quickly changed into her school robes, tieing her hair up into a messy bun. She then quickly rolled around on her bed to make it look slept in and headed to make herself a cup of tea.

Her mind swam with images of the previous night and she was grateful that she didn't have DADA until the end of the week. She wasn't sure how she would cope being with the Professor in front of anyone else.

-It's going to be such sweet torture pet

-Are you even trying anymore or is this just happening?

-Honestly? It just sort of happened. I'm not even trying, not really and you can hear me. It's very strange.

-I'm not complaining. So does this mean I can whisper filthy things in your head all day?

-Hmmm I'm sure you could but I think we both know who would come off worse from that situation. You are ever so easy to get flustered.

-Game on!

-As you wish pet. On your own head be it.

-Have a good day Bella, I'll be thinking of you.

- I know you will pet, have fun in potion's. I on the other hand have a free period so I might just lie here reminiscing about the way you came on my fingers.

- I'm so screwed aren't I?

- That you are pet.

The loud knock on her door quickly ended their conversation. "Doors open Gin, I'm just in the lounge"

"Morning Mi, how's your head?"

-I'll be sure to find out soon, won't I pet?

Hermione nearly spat out her mouthful of tea but managed to swallow it down.

"Went down the wrong hole. My heads fine, no firewhiskey last night as promised"

-No just lots of kinky sex

-Will you shut up!

-You started it, now listen to Red she's talking.

"...pressed that you actually didn't drink. I had begun to think you were keeping something serious from me. Anyway you ready for breakfast? I worked up quite an appetite yesterday" Ginny's eyes sparkled and for a moment Hermione thought she had been caught.

"I know he's your best friend but you don't need to look so terrified every time I hint that we've had sex Mi. Sometimes I think you'll never get laid"

- If only you knew Red, Miss Granger can DEFINITELY get herself laid!

"Sorry Gin I just don't like talking about it that's all."

"It's ok, one of these days I'll figure out what makes you tick! Ha knowing you it's something kinky like being bend over my the librarian"

-I like this girl more and more. Wednesday night is going to be fun pet!

"Yes Ginny, that's exactly my thing" Her voice dripping with sarcasm, even when a small blush appeared on her cheeks.

'Oh come on, breakfast!"

Ginny and Hermione joined Neville at the Gryffindor table about ten minutes later.

Neville had his head in his hands and his plate was decidedly empty.

'You ok Nev? I've never seen you with an empty plate?"

"Honestly Gin I feel rotten. Luna forgot to tell me that the flask she brought to the library last night wasn't just pumpkin juice."

"Oh Nev, we've all been caught out by Luna in the library at least once the past few years. She swears the..."

"Dirigible Plum's stop the nargels. I know. But she failed to mention that the...' Nevil continued

"Dirigible Plum portion of the drink is actually a liquor. Ye even I've been caught out before Nev and you know I wouldn't dare get drunk in the library" Hermione finished.

- No pet, you'd just let me bend you over a desk and slip inside that pretty pussy of yours.

As Hermione was lifting a spoon of mushrooms onto her plate she froze, the mushrooms landing on the table not quite making it to her plate.

"Mi? You ok?"

- Where the hell are you? Are you still in bed? How the hell can you talk to me from your bed?

- Yes pet, in still in bed. Honestly I don't know how I can talk to you from this far away but I for one am greatly enjoying myself.

"Hermione. Hello? Earth to Granger!"

"Sorry Gin, what did you say?"

"I just wanted to know if you're ok, you've dropped mushrooms everywhere. You zoned out for a minute there."

"Ye sorry, just thinking." She quickly waved her wand over the table and the spilt mushroom's dissapeared. In an attempt to draw the attention away from herself she said "Gin, why don't you tell Nev what Harry was saying yesterday."

Luckily Ginny quickly started to tell Neville everything that Harry had told her the day before about Auror training, much to Neville's dismay.

-You don't seem to be enjoying our game as much as you said you would pet. Would you like me to stop?

-You know I don't. As much as I wish you would, I think if you did stop I'd probably be very disappointed.

-I know love. I do think we should probably go to Minnie sooner rather than later. If she gets wind of this from someone else ..

-I know. I know I'm risking not only my education but your job and you going back to...to...

-It's ok pet, it won't come to that. You're of age in the wizarding and muggle world and I think even Minnie can understand we've got a...

-Complex history?

-We'll go with that. Look pet, I don't want to stop whatever this is. But if it comes between you and your education then it's not even a question for me. Your education is who you are and I won't risk that for you. I'd go back to askaban before I took your education away from you.

-Bella, I think we should probably have this conversation face to face. I also think we should wait until we've spoke to Minnie. I mean she knew we would be working closely for my scar right?

-She did and yes I think you're right. We've got far too deep for first thing Monday morning when we're not even in the same room. Brain chat to be kept to...

-Flirty banter only. Flirty banter, life and death situations and heads up that it's apple pie day.

-Deal! Now Pet, I'm sure Red can go on about the Wonderboy for hours but I think now is the time for you to actually pay attention to your conversation and eat some breakfast!

-You're probably right Bella. I miss you.

-I miss you too little witch...even though you left my bed about an hour ago ...

-I am mentally rolling my eyes at you

-I know, I felt it. Later then?

-Later.

When Ginny finished her spiel about Harry and Ron (and finally came up for air) Hermione took that as her opportunity to jump back in.

"It really does sound like Harry's found a home with the aurors, Gin. I'm glad, him and Ron could never have been stuck behind desks. I don't even know if I could be anymore."

"What happened to being the future minister of magic Mi?" Ginny asked.

"I dunno, I mean I still want to help overhaul the Ministry, I do. It just, I dunno it feels like that was the dream of pre-war Hermione. Now I don't know. So many things have changed. Even being here isn't the same. I see them, all of them, all the time. What if all I saw at the ministry was Sirius? And the atrium, that horrible statue, it's just...bad memories. God what is it with me and deep conversations today, it's Monday morning God damn it!"

"Why, who else have you been having deep conversations with today?" Neville raised his head off his empty plate to look at her quizzically.

-Landed yourself in that one pet.

"Oh no, I was just writing a letter to Victor and got all emotional. I told him that I had come out to you all and well I got all sappy."

-Nice save pet.

"Ohhhh ye that makes sense. Ye Nev, when she came out did she mention that Victor was gay too?"

"No! Victor...as in Krum? Bulgarin bon bon Victor Krum is gay!!!!"

"Oh yes, but please can we keep it down. It's still very much under wraps, you know what people can be like, especially regarding sexuality and sports. If it got out it could risk his whole career. I wasn't even meant to tell Gin but she guessed, honestly. So it goes no further!"

Ginny raised her fingers in a solute. "Yes Miss Granger, Ma'am! Instructions heard and understood!"

"Oh shut up gin" She picked up her fork and finally started on her food.

-Yes Red, Granger is much better at taking the orders. My good little teachers pet.

-I'm going to die of embarrassment on Thursday aren't I?

-Oh I hope so pet, squirming in your seat, hoping I take you right there in front of the class. Oh I'm sure you would if I told you too, you are ever so obedient sweet.

-I...in front of the class ...I...you wouldn't... we couldn't... you...yep, I'm fucked

-Thoroughly fucked if memory serves

-I should never have started this

-Probably not, but you're having too much fun to stop

"I can't believe we've got double potion's on a Monday morning when I'm hungover! Didn't we do enough in the war to deserve a break?"

"Ye, but at least it's not with Snape! Then the fate's really would be laughing at you."

"Ye, you're right Gin. Double potion's with Snape on a Monday morning whilst hungover is DEFINITELY worse!"

"I just hope it isn't something strong smelling. I couldn't cop right now."

"Want to pair with me, Nev? If it stinks too bad I'll just make it on my own and you can run round getting ingredients."

"Ginny I could kiss you right now." Neville's head quickly dropped back onto his empty plate.

"Oh shit Mi, sorry I think I've just dumped you as my partner...oops. you gonna be ok?"

"Ye, I'll be fine. If me and Nev can make peace with black I'm sure I can work with anyone"

-So long as you only do our sort of 'work' with me pet

-Damn it I thought you'd gone to sleep or something!

-Nope just earwigging.

"Ye I know you'll be fine Mi. Right come on potion's. Then at lunch we're swinging past Mione's to grab a potion. I can't believe three days in a row I've had to sooth a drunk best friend. I thought those hidden potion's would all be for me!"
