Uten, thank you for your review, you made me notice something very important that I forgot to write about in my 2nd chapter. Since then I've re-posted the 2nd chapter with a few small revisions during the "Witch's Oath" scene pertaining to Bellatrix's Dark Mark. It doesn't answer your question outright but does acknowledge it. The answer will appear in a future chapter if I can ever get that far. Again, thank you for your use of vigilant eyes, and pointing me to where I messed up.
Dragon Sword Master, thank you for your review, great minds think alike… I think. Many of your suggestions for future chapters I've already been planning on using. Actually it's eerie that all except a very few of your suggestions, I've already been playing around in my head before I wrote a single word (What I call my general "very vague" idea for a plot). I won't tell which ones… That would spoil the surprise. Lastly, if I am correct and you do happen to have some sort of weird connection to my mind, please use it sparingly and responsibly.
DISCLAIMER: J.K. Rowling and various others own everything, I own nothing. Please don't sue me, I'm already poor and miserable.
Chapter Three - The Morning After
By MasterKtulu
"Hmmm…"
Harry slowly opened his eyes to find another pair staring right back at him.
"Good morning Harry, did you sleep well?" Bellatrix said resting her head on Harry's chest and was already half on top of him.
For the first time since he could remember, Harry had experienced a restful night of sleep without any nightmares.
"Never better actually, thanks to you I think… Did you sleep well?" Harry asked noticing for the first time that he had his left arm wrapped tightly around Bellatrix.
"Best night of sleep I've ever had, and I definitely know it's because of you Harry."
Harry looked down; his left leg was resting in between Bellatrix's two legs and she was grinding him occasionally. His right arm was resting across his chest but his hand however was resting right in between Bellatrix's two buttocks. He was about to pull his hand away in horror, when her very pleased voice made him freeze.
"After what happened last night, I was getting worried that you didn't find me attractive. When you said you were pretty tired and wanted to go to bed, I didn't think you really wanted to go to sleep."
Harry had removed his hand about an inch when Bellatrix grabbed is hand and placed it back.
"Oh no you don't! I didn't wait all night to be groped just so you can tease me when you finally grab something. You're leaving that hand just were it is!"
Bellatrix could sense that Harry was tense and tried to alleviate his worries.
"Don't worry Harry, I'm not made of glass. I wont break and you can't do anything wrong."
"I've… It's just I've never done anything like this before." Harry said embarrassed
"Really? I a bit surprised. Being famous Harry Potter, I would have thought that you would have taken advantage of opportunities that presented themselves before. I'm sure there are many girls at Hogwarts and beyond that would love a chance to spend a night with you."
"Er… Maybe?… But I've always thought that my first time should be with someone special."
"Am I special enough for you Harry?"
"Yes Bella, you are… We've haven't known each for even twenty-four hours but for some reason, I feel like I've known you for years. I can't explain it; I care for you greatly."
"I feel the same way Harry, and I don't know why either. I've never felt this way before, but I like it… Anyway, it doesn't matter that you don't have any experience Harry, everybody's got to learn sometime and we can learn together… I… I don't have much experience either… Well except for being raped under the Imperious curse for a year."
"Oh! Bella, I'm so sorry… I'll kill that fucking bastard the next time I see him. I'll make him suffer for a hundred years before I put him out of his misery. I'll make him beg for your forgiveness."
Bellatrix could sense the power radiating from Harry; she had never felt anything like it. His eyes were glowing, almost illuminating the entire room. He would have scared the living daylights out of Dumbledore and Voldemort at that moment, but Bellatrix for some reason felt perfectly safe. So safe that she felt like nothing was ever going to hurt her again, that Harry would always protect her.
"Thanks Harry… I'll enjoy seeing that."
"But… Er… What about… What about after your escaped from Azkaban…"
Bellatrix gave a wicked smile at this and said:
"Rodolphus's stay in Azkaban was far harder on him then it was on me. After we escaped, he noticed that he couldn't get it up anymore. Outside I was devastated; my 'perfect husband' was unable to pleasure me. But on the inside I was ecstatic; he couldn't rape me anymore. He didn't even touch me anymore after he found out… Anyway, back to our former subject… Don't worry Harry. you just have to follow your instincts, whatever they are. If you can't already tell, I'm willing to do whatever you want to do. Don't be embarrassed, whatever we do together is just between you and me, no one ever needs to know. If you do something I don't like which I seriously doubt will ever happen, I'll simply tell you. I'm ready and willing to let you try anything you want, and I'm sure I'll enjoy every minute of it."
Harry, believing her every word gave an exploratory squeeze of his right hand and started to caress Bellatrix's backside.
Bellatrix pressed her face against Harry's chest, and she moaned loudly as she caressed every bit of Harry she could reach. After a while she stopped caressing him, lifted her head and spoke.
"As much as I would love to do this all day Harry, we have much to do today. We'll be able to continue tonight though, I promise. Unless you plan on living here for the rest of your life, we'll need to find a safe and 'private' place to live. I don't feel like staying which a bunch of Muggles for the rest of my life. But if that's what you want… I guess I can adapt. From now on, I go where you go Harry."
Bellatrix had a big smile on her face that suddenly disappeared and gave way to a look of pure fear and tears started to roll down on both of her cheeks. Bellatrix push herself slightly away from Harry and started Babbling.
"Unless… Unless you changed your mind about me… I'll leave… You'll never have to see me again… I'm sorry I bothered you… I'm so sorry!"
Bellatrix was looking like she had suffered from a mental breakdown. She was about to get up to leave, when Harry took both his arms and wrapped them around her, gave her a small kiss on her forehead and said:
"Bella, you being in my life is the only certain thing I have right now, I'm not letting you go now or ever."
Bellatrix's teary eyes were staring in Harry's reassuring ones and hugged him like her life depended on it.
"I'm sorry Harry, since breaking the Imperious curse, I've had these mood swings. But they're much better than before, I shouldn't have them for much longer now."
"It's okay Bella, as long as we're together everything is okay."
Bellatrix's face split into a smile, buried her face in his chest and hugged Harry again.
"I think that we should pack up and shrink everything I own and use the Portkey and go to Gringotts today. I have no intention to live here one more moment than I absolutely have to. If we're gonna find a place to stay we'll need some gold. I'm sure I have enough to find us a nice and safe place to live. And we better do it soon before Dumbledore or Voldemort figures out what's going on."
At that moment there was a tapping at the window and a muffled screech.
"Oh! No…"
Harry jumped up from the bed and ran to the window. He opened the curtains then the window. A snowy Owl entered looking annoyed and flew to her perch.
"Hedwig! I'm so sorry…" Harry said as he closed the window and the curtains.
Hedwig was almost going berserk clicking her beak at Harry when she suddenly stopped and noticed they weren't alone.
"Girl, this is Bella… Bella is going to be living with us from now on."
Hedwig looked at Bellatrix carefully then turned around and put her head inside her wing and went to sleep.
"Don't worry Bella, she'll warm up to you with a little time."
"If you say so Harry… But I wouldn't bet on it."
Harry walked back to his bed, laid back down and pulled up the covers. Bellatrix cuddled him and shifted until they had the same position as they had before Hedwig's arrival.
"Continuing what I was saying… I haven't been able to go to Diagon Alley in three years. I'll need plenty of things… and you too. You're not going back to Voldemort to get your things; I'm not taking that chance. I have enough gold to last ten generations of Potters, so I have enough to buy you everything you need."
"I agree that I can't go back to Voldemort for my old things, but I have a bank vault Harry, I can buy my own stuff."
"No Bella, that gold belong to 'Dead-Man-Lestrange', and we'll have nothing to do with it. I'm taking care of you from now on."
Bellatrix pulled Harry close to her and said:
"I think I'll like being taken care of by you. Thank you Harry."
"You're welcome Bella, and… We might as well get Sirius will out of the way…"
"Oh! Harry… That can wait until your ready."
"No Bella, I need to do this as soon as possible. If I'm ever able to get over his death, I have to do this. I can't go on and feel sorry for myself forever."
"Okay, I'll be right there next to you, if you need any help. I'm never leaving your side Harry."
"But Bella, your still a wanted Death Eater, you can't just walk around Diagon Alley without an Auror or two noticing."
"Don't be silly Harry, I'm pretty good at human transfiguration you know. I'll change both our appearances, and no one will be able to recognise us."
"Okay Bella, but I'm sure they'll notice us no matter what our faces look like. Unless you think people will ignore a beautiful half-naked woman walking about in Diagon Alley hand in hand with a teenage wizard. Although I don't know that many Wizards who would complain about it."
"You think I'm Beautiful?" Bellatrix asked as though she had not heard Harry say anything else.
"Of course I do Bella, never doubt it, but that doesn't help your state of undress."
"Easy enough, I can always transfigure an old set of your robes that you don't wear anymore."
"Do you have an answer for everything?"
"Yep! After a while you get use to it." Bellatrix said in a playful voice. "But before we go anywhere we need to take a bath and get a decent meal."
"Well a bath I can do, the bathroom is just across the hall. The meal though I don't know, My relatives are pretty anti-magic, I don't think that you'd be welcomed at the table. I'm not even welcome at their table unless I'm the one who makes the meal."
Harry looked at his nightstand to look at his alarm clock to notice he was a little late to make the Dursleys their breakfast.
"Yeah, I heard about your relatives, Voldemort once told me that he couldn't understand how you could live with those Muggles for five minutes without killing them. He told me about the things that they supposedly did to you since they took you in… I don't know how he found out about it or even if half of it is true, but he had a good laugh about it…"
"I don't know what he heard about me, but I'm wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't all true. I hate my relatives, and I'll make them pay one day for every thing they ever did or said to me. But as long as I can't do magic and Dumbledore makes me live here, I have to control myself…"
"Harry, is your brain is still on holiday? Think about what you've just said."
Harry paused and realised that he could do magic now and he was leaving the Dursleys today. He was going to live with Bellatrix, never to return again. Harry's blank face gave way to a small, almost evil smirk.
"Don't worry about the Muggles Harry, I'll take care of them… You don't have to dirty your hands with filth like them; they'll regret everything they ever did to you before I'm done. I'll never let anyone hurt you again Harry, I promise… they'll have to go over my dead cold body to hurt my Harry… We're lucky Dumbledore put so many Wards around this house to protect it against intruders, he won't be able to detect what's going on inside until after we're long gone. And even after we're gone, he'll just find out what we want him to know."
Bellatrix had a very serious face on and her eyes could have killed with a stare. She noticed that Harry's smirk only grew bigger while she was talking. She untangled herself from Harry and got up.
"You coming?"
"Where are we going?"
"The bathroom, to take a bath together."
Harry froze on the spot. Bellatrix reached for his hand and pulled him up.
"It's just a bath Harry, and I don't bite… Hard… You wash my back Harry and I'll wash yours..."
Bellatrix gave Harry a big suggestive wink and for once Harry was able to figure out what it meant.
Bellatrix unlocked the door to Harry's bedroom and pulled Harry outside and into the corridor. It was dark and empty; being the weekend all the Dursleys were still asleep. Bellatrix found the bathroom and pulled Harry into it and closed the door, using her Wand locked the door and put silencing charms all around the bathroom…
…HPHPHPHPHPHPHP…
As they walked out of the bathroom an hour later, Bellatrix had a big satisfied smile on her face and was dragging a stunned looking Harry back to his bedroom.
"Wow! Harry, you have great hands, you're a natural. We'll need to do that every day, I don't think I can get enough. Did you enjoy yourself?"
Harry still stunned, only nodded his head quickly and said:
"Yeah… We can do that every day if you want."
Bellatrix chuckled at his response. She closed Harry's bedroom door and put another locking spell on it.
"Harry, we'll be able to do more… A lot more… You'll just have to be patient until tonight. Now come on lover boy, we need to find an old set of robes for me to transfigure. I want to make a good first impression on my new in-laws…"
"Bella, as much as you torturing my relative would be a deserved punishment and fun to watch, they are still my family. Thinking about torturing them is one thing but doing it is another. I just want to forget they ever existed, and move on with my life."
Bellatrix turned around a bit disappointed to look at Harry.
"Alright Harry, it's your choice. But I think you've just given me a great idea as to what to do with those Muggles that I think you'll approve of."
"What?" Harry said a little worried.
"You'll see…"
Harry changed into his best school robe, which were all black, and gave Bellatrix an old robe he still owned from his second year. Bellatrix transfigured Harry's old school robe into a very faltering woman's black robe. She noticed that Harry was sitting down on his bed, fascinated and was openly staring at her while she undressed and put her new robes on. So as any good girlfriend should do, she took her sweet time and prolonged Harry's visible pleasure. Azkaban and time might have damaged her body from its former glory a little, but as Harry was demonstrating rather nicely; it was still good enough for a horny teenager.
Before they could go to work packing Harry's trunk, Bellatrix had little convincing to do. After Bellatrix's 'Little Show', Harry hadn't wanted to stand up for obvious reasons. Bellatrix had to tell him that if 'Little Harry' hadn't been up and ready after what she had done she would have been insulted and very sad about the implications of it. She told him that he didn't need to be shy around her, and if he helped her pack his trunk and left no trace of his living there ever, she would stroll around naked around their new home anytime he asked. It didn't take much after that before he was packing and leaving no trace of his existence.
They had packed all of Harry's possessions, shrunk his trunk and arranged the room to look like a guest bedroom that had never been used. Harry had written a letter to the Order saying he was okay and not to worry, just like he did every three days. He gave the letter to Hedwig whom having had a little time to cool off, was perfectly happy again to get work from her master. Just before she flew off, Harry stopped her.
"Hedwig, when you're done delivering the letter don't come back here, go hunt for a while or something. Then tomorrow start looking for me, by then Bella and me will have found a new place to live. I don't know yet where we're going to go, but it will be nicer than here… I can promise you that. Thanks to Bella, we never have to come here ever again; we're finally free girl."
At this statement, Hedwig gave a very pleased screech and looked over to where Bellatrix was standing watching hers and Harry's interaction with fascination, and she gave a small bow as to say thank you.
Bellatrix was stunned and simply said:
"Er… You're welcome?…"
Hedwig flew off and landed on Bellatrix's shoulder and nibbled her ear affectionately and then flew out the window to deliver the letter.
"I told you she would warm up to you Bella. Hedwig's just a bit temperamental but she's loyal, very smart and a good judge of character. She was the first friend I ever had and the only one who never betrayed me or lied to me. I can always count on her just like I hope I can always count on you."
"Of course Harry, you can always count on me. Now that everything is ready, lets go down to breakfast and announce that you'll be leaving forever. I'm sure that will make them happy."
"I don't know about that Bella, they're losing their House Elf, they might be mad." Harry said with a little humour in his voice.
Bellatrix however looked murderous, her eyes grew wide.
"I'm gonna kill those Muggles."
"Bella, whatever they did to me, it's over and in the past now, and you said you wouldn't hurt them."
Bellatrix deflated a bit and said:
"Okay I won't hurt them Harry, but there are still plenty of things that I can do to get a little revenge for you."
"As long as you don't hurt them, you can do whatever you want to them."
"Good… Let's go down, it's time we finally met."
They walked down hand in hand down the stairs, through the hall and entered the kitchen to find all three Dursleys eating breakfast.
"Boy! You didn't feel like cooking us breakfast, then you don't eat today. Maybe tomorrow you'll remember your place you little freak! Now go in the backyard and do all your chores. And if I find out that you've been lazy or sloppy, you'll be spending the night outside like the dog that you are."
Vernon Dursley said all this without looking up from his newspaper. If he had, he would have noticed that a unfamiliar woman was standing next to Harry and had a short and thin piece of wood pointed right to the side of his head and was wearing a murderous look on her face. Petunia and Dudley Dursley had noticed this woman as soon as she had entered with Harry. They had both frozen on the spot and were unable to say or do anything except stare in horror at this woman.
"Petunia dear, could you pass the Bacon?"
After a moment he asked:
"Petunia?"
Vernon Dursley finally looked up from his newspaper to find his wife and son were frozen in fear.
"What's wrong Petunia?"
He followed his wife's eyes and turned his head to find an extremely mad woman pointing a Wand directly at his head. Forgetting his fear and common sense, he shouted:
"Now, who the bloody hell are you? Get the bloody hell out of my house you freak before I make you!"
Bellatrix shouted back:
"Petrificus Totalus! Petrificus Totalus!"
Vernon Dursley arms and legs snapped to his sides and fell on the floor with a big Bang! Followed by an even bigger Bang that shook the entire house brought on by Dudley Dursley.
Bellatrix pointed her wand at Harry's supposed aunt and bellowed:
"Imperio!"
Petunias Dursley's fearing face went relaxed then completely blank.
Then Bellatrix shouted:
"Muggle! get off your bony ass and make Harry and me a breakfast fit for a King and Queen."
Petunia stood up and went to begging cooking breakfast.
Bellatrix pointed her wand at Harry's supposed uncle and cousin and banished them to the living room. She sat down at the table, looked over to Harry and said:
"See Harry, I didn't hurt them, unless you count those two whales hitting the floor."
"And what about the Imperious curse on my aunt?" Harry said in playful voice.
"She isn't hurt, she's only making our breakfast."
Harry chuckled, sat down across from Bellatrix and reached across the table to hold her hand.
After about forty-five minutes both Bellatrix and Harry were full. Bellatrix looked at the last remaining Dursley in the kitchen and said:
"Muggle, go and sit with your husband and your whale of a son."
Petunia Dursley did as she was told and left the kitchen being followed not far behind by Bellatrix and Harry.
Bellatrix lifted the Imperius curse off the woman and said:
"Petrificus Totalus!"
And Harry's aunt was immobilised leaning on her same fated husband.
"I think that I like Muggles when they're like this… Harry, are you ready to go? Do you have the Goblin Portkey ready?"
Harry nodded and showed Bellatrix a deceivingly normal looking Knut in his hand. Then Harry froze with a look of realisation and fear.
"Harry, what's wrong?"
"The Goblins…"
"What about the Goblins Harry?"
"We can't go to Gringotts with you looking like you do… They'll alert the Aurors… You'll be sent back to Azkaban… I don't want to lose you…"
"Harry! Calm down… The Goblins won't alert the Aurors about me. Goblins only care about gold, not about Wizard's law."
"Oh!…" Harry said with a dawning look of comprehension.
"Now that we're all ready to go, we'll just finish our business with those Muggles of yours and we'll be off"
She pointed her wand at each Dursley in turn and shouted:
"Finite Incantatem! Finite Incantatem! Finite Incantatem!"
She then immediately pointed her wand at each Dursley in turn again and shouted:
"Obliviate! Obliviate! Obliviate!"
All the three Dursleys body's unfroze, just in time for their faces to turn blank.
Looking at the three Muggles, Bellatrix instructed:
"Lily Evans died in a car crash when she was eleven. You've never heard of a James Potter or a Harry Potter. Witches and Wizards don't exist accept in fairy tails. No one has ever lived here except for you three. You never had a nephew, let alone one that lived here. In a few days, weird people will come to look for a Harry Potter in your house. They wish to rob and hurt you, call for help as soon as possible. Whenever you hear or read the name Harry Potter, you and your family are in grave danger; every one around you is untrustworthy, you are to run for your lives and hide for at least a week."
Bellatrix turned her head to find out what Harry's reaction to all what she had said was. Harry was sitting down in a chair hunched over shaking slightly. Thinking he was crying for what she had said, she ran towards him to try to comfort him. When she reached him she saw him look up with tears in his eyes laughing his head off.
"Bella, that was the best… I wish I could see the Order's face when they come to look for me."
"You aren't mad at me? You know… about what I said about your mother…"
"No, I'm not mad at you Bella. We both know what happened to my mother… And that's not that far away from what the Dursleys told me happened to my parents before I found out the truth."
"Are you sure you don't want me to kill them Harry or at least torture them a little?"
"No… What you did was much better Bella. Here, grab hold of the Portkey before they get a hold of their senses back and wake up."
Bellatrix took hold the Goblin Portkey and waited for that familiar pull around her navel.
Harry took a deep breath, and tried to find some strength to deal with what he knew was to come, only to find Bellatrix staring at him.
Bellatrix was staring at an unusually unnerved Harry taking a deep steadying breath. She knew that he cared deeply for her cousin Sirius and the reading of his will would be hard on him.
"Harry, I'll be there… I'll help you get through this."
Harry smiled at Bellatrix, and closed his eyes.
"Thanks Bella… I knew I could count on you."
Harry took another deep breath and said with conviction:
"Black Estate."
In a soft white glow, Harry and Bellatrix disappeared from Privet Drive, never to return again.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I know this isn't my best chapter, but as it is my third chapter "ever" don't be too hard on me.
You now have proof that my Bellatrix is still a dark witch. When she's with Harry alone, she's nice, sweet and considerate to all of his needs. But if anyone gets in her way or is a threat to "her" Harry in anyway, you better run for your life.
As for those who don't like Cliffhanger Endings (As I know many of you don't), I'm sorry it's just the way I happen to write. Every chapter has got to end somehow, and I usually stop writing when I run out of Ideas.
And finally concerning the missing bath scene… I'm so sorry, It came out all wrong and I didn't know how to fix it, so I left it out. Better start using your imagination… Not yet… Not yet… Now!
