There's Love in Information
C22: Joyous Moments
Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters
Three months after the trial of Lucius Malfoy and his subsequent throwing through the Veil, the wedding of the century was ready to commence, and none were more excited than Hermione and Bellatrix, who now on the day itself were far from happy for the sole reason that they had been forced to spend a week apart from her fiancee in over a year of being together.
Bellatrix was patiently waiting for her sisters, who were her Maids of Honor for today, and to get a little bit of payback on them, she waited for them in nothing more but the lingerie she would be wearing today, of course it being black lace, since no matter how old she was, black would always be her favorite color, at least until the invented a darker color.
She also couldn't be happier if she tried, something she had fought years for, and now that she was finally going to be able to call Hermione her wife after very secretly having a crush on the young bookworm for many years, she just couldn't help the permanent smile that was plastered on her face.
She especially loved her dress, which had been an exquisite find by her youngest sister. It was a black flowing princess gown that fell off her shoulders and also included a corset, which would give her already generous cleavage even more of a pop, something she was going to love teasing her soon to be wife did.
A knock on the door shook her out of her musings. "Come on in sisters. The door is open."
"Wrong Black mother. I just couldn't resist seeing you a last time before you walk to the altar." Fabian said with a soft smile as he poked his head in, looking very distinguished in his tuxedo.
She smiled at him and went to give him a hug, neither of them minding that she was just in her underwear. "Good morning my sweetling. I trust you slept well?"
He nodded at her. "I did thank you for asking Mom. Are the nerves setting in already?"
"A little, but it's good nerves for once. Have you seen Hermione yet?" Bellatrix asked softly.
"Yes and no. I reported for my Best Man duties as requested but I was early. She and Ginny weren't dressed yet, so I was kind of kicked out, so I figured I would come and see you, since I doubt you would kick me out no matter what state of dress you're in, I've seen it all after all." He said with a soft smile.
Bellatrix smiled and pressed a kiss to his cheek. "That you have, although you need to be careful. With Dora being pregnant she has become very possessive of you."
"I know, but she knows I'm here right now and she knows how close we are. Which I honestly hope is not going to change." He said softly.
"Of course it isn't sweetie. No matter what happens, you will always be my firstborn that I love more than life itself, even when Hermione and I decide to start a family of our own. Those children will be your siblings just as much as your daughter is going to be my first grandchild." Bellatrix said with a sweet smile.
He smiled at her as he gave her another hug. "Thank Merlin for that. I honestly was a bit worried."
Bellatrix smiled at him. "You needn't worry my sweet Fabian. I know exactly how you feel, because I felt exactly the same when you and Dora moved in together. I was so afraid that my little baby would forget about me."
"Mom, we work together remember, and how could I ever turn my back on the woman that has dealt with every temper tantrum I've given her over the last ten years." He said with a soft smile.
"I know sweetie, but a mother worries you know, especially when her son is spreading his wings at such a young age, although I also know I didn't have to worry about you and Dora. If there is one thing your cousin has always done, it is take care of you." She said with a soft smile.
He smiled and nodded at her. "That she does, and she's very good at it too, even more so since we embraced our new lifestyle."
Bellatrix smiled at that. "I don't doubt that, although I still have some trouble wrapping my head around why you two decided to become nudists."
"We chose that mostly because it's very freeing, plus we're still very much addicted to each other, which makes being naked all the time just easier." He said with a soft smile.
"I'm not surprised honestly. It's definitely something you got from me." Bellatrix said with a soft smile as there was another knock on the door. "I think that's your aunts to force me into my dress. I'll see you soon sweetie."
He smiled and pressed a last kiss to her cheek. "I'll go and see if your soon to be wife is ready for me to perform my best man duties."
Bellatrix nodded at him as he made his way back to his old bedroom which had been where Hermione was getting ready, and as he left, her sisters walked in. "Good morning Bella. Are you ready to be dolled up for the first time since we were little girls?" Andromeda asked with a bright smile, while Narcissa mostly looked at her oldest sister shocked because of her still being in her underwear.
Bellatrix noticed the look and smiled at them both. "I'm as ready as I can be, and before you ask Cissy, the only reason I'm still in my underwear is the silent protest of being forced to stay away from my fiancee for a week."
"You two have skipped too many protocols already for a family of our standing. I know how stubborn you can be, but you also know that I am ten times more stubborn than that. Now let's get your dress on before you make us both even more jealous." The blonde said with a smile.
Bellatrix nodded and hugged them both. "I never meant to make you jealous. I never expected that this bond I share with Hermione to give me back so many years."
"We know Bella, and we're not really jealous, we were only teasing. Right Cissa?" Andromeda asked with a soft smile to their baby sister.
Narcissa only smiled and nodded as she went to get Bella's dress from the bag it was in, and while she didn't want to admit it out loud, she absolutely loved her sister's dress, which was a far cry from the robes women in their family usually got married in, and since she hadn't been able to go with Bella when she bought her dress, since she had been ill that week, she wondered how it would look on her sister.
…
Meanwhile in Hermione's temporary room, the brunette had just gotten her dress on, although it had to be still be laced in, which she would leave to Fabian, since he had more experience with that part of dresses.
Ginny was currently in the bathroom getting her own dress on when he poked his head in the door. "Is it safe for me to come in? No naked women to make my girlfriend jealous?"
She smiled at him. "You're safe Fabian, and thank you for giving us a little while to get my dress sorted. We did leave you a job though. It would mean a lot to me if you could lace me in."
"Of course Hermione, I'm just glad to help." He said with a smile.
She smiled and hugged him. "Thank you for agreeing to be my Best Man today Fabian. It means a lot to me."
"I knew that my mother's first choice would be her sisters, so to have you ask me was an incredible honor." He said as he moved behind her to lace up her dress.
Hermione smiled at that. "It was a no-brainer to ask you. You've been my brother in all but blood for as long as we've known each other and since I owe my current happiness to you, I thought it was only right."
He smiled at her. "I knew from the first moment you two met each other that there was something very special, although I could never have thought that I would one day be witness to you actually marrying her."
"I think the only one who knew that this was going to happen was Luna. She's said for years that this would happen one day." She said with a soft smile.
He smiled and nodded. "That because she told me she has seen it. Like her mother she has some Seer abilities, so when she saw this in one of her dreams, and it returned consistently too, I knew that this was going to happen at some point in the future, so I've had a little time to prepare for the fact that my best friend would marry my mother."
"I know, Luna told me the same, which honestly helped me a lot in accepting the fact that I genuinely loved her, and I will love you forever." Hermione said with a smile.
He just smiled at her as Ginny came out of the bathroom, her hair and make-up looking absolutely immaculate. "Hey Fabe, could I bother you for some help with my dress too?"
"Once I'm done with lacing in Hermione, I'll gladly help you Gin, but I don't want to deal with a drunk Pansy tonight saying that I touched you. I know she is very possessive of her lovers." He said with a smile.
The redhead giggled at that. "Trust me that she won't say a word Fabian. I already told her that I was going to ask you to help me with the dress that she picked out for me."
He smiled at her as he finished up with Hermione's dress, checking if all the laces were straight and untwisted, since he knew he was in for a scolding of epic proportions from his aunt if anything was out of place for the wedding she had spent nearly six months planning. "I'm just checking Gin. Because I know from experience that Pansy can't take any form of alcohol."
"I know, and we're working on that. She doesn't drink any hard liquor anymore, she's okay on beer and wine." She said as she turned around for him so he could do up her dress.
He nodded and smiled at that. "That's good to hear, although I think the presence of my aunt will be deterrent enough, since like most of the new generation purebloods, she has a healthy fear of Ice Queen Narcissa, who I have a feeling will be omnipresent today."
Ginny smiled and gasped as he tightened the corset. "Now I remember why I never wear dresses, especially those with built in corsets."
He laughed lightly as Hermione patted her best friend's hand. "I'm very glad that you are willing to endure it for a day Gin. It means a lot to me."
"Like Fabian, I don't want to piss off either bride, since I know they're scary as hell when they want to be and today's hostess is also not someone I want to be on the bad side of." The redhead said with a grin.
Hermione smiled at that. "Narcissa is a woman no one wants to be on the bad side of, even Bella fears her sister's wrath, although I expect her to have some sort of protest going on for having to have spent a week in separate bedrooms."
"You can say that again. When I went to see her after you two kicked me out she was just in her underwear, so that was certainly my mother in protest. She has always gone for a shock factor when it came to her youngest sister." Fabian said as he finished lacing Ginny in.
"Bella goes for a shock factor in everything she does I've noticed, which makes me hold my heart for how she reacts to when I am pregnant." Hermione said softly.
He smiled at her. "From the stories Pandora told me when she was pregnant with Luna, my mother will become the most caring woman in the world, as well as very possessive of you."
"That I expected to be honest. I couldn't imagine her not being possessive of those she loves, as she's proven over the last months. There is however one thing missing. Where is your tie Fabian. Don't tell me you still can't tie your own tie?" The brunette said teasingly.
"Of course I can, I honestly just forgot to put it on this morning. I'll put it on now, if I am allowed to use my old bathroom." He said with a wink.
"Why wouldn't you be? It's not like it's used much these days. In the meantime Ginny can get started on the mess that is my hair." Hermione said with a smile.
The redhead smiled at her as Fabian made his way into the bathroom, since they both knew he would need a mirror to properly do up his tie. "Any preferences Hermione? Or should I just see what will look best with your dress?"
"I trust you to not make me look like and idiot Gin, otherwise I might need a word with your girlfriend." Hermione said with a wink.
Ginny just smiled at her best friend as she magicked her way through a couple of different styles for Hermione's hair, quickly finding something that would look well with her dress, and would not bring out the features that she knew Hermione still was insecure of.
…
An hour later Hermione had taken her place at the altar where she was patiently waiting for her soon to be wife, with both Ginny and Fabian waiting by her side as her Maid of Honor and Best Man, and she really hoped that her nerves were not showing on her face.
Of course both of them noticed and smiled at her. "It'll be okay 'Mione. If my mother backs out now, I will personally drag her to the altar, kicking and screaming if I have to." He said with a soft smile.
She blushed a little as she smiled at him. "I know, but I doubt it will be necessary. It's just that I don't like waiting."
Fabian smiled at her as McGonagall walked up to the dais they had set up, because Hermione had specifically requested for the Headmistress be the one to marry them.
The Headmistress gave them all a slight smile before she took her spot, after which the wedding march was initiated by the small assembly of violinists that Narcissa had hired for today.
Hermione had to use every single ounce of her willpower to not turn around immediately to look at her fiancee as she walked down the aisle.
Bellatrix had no such issues as she walked arm in arm with her two sisters, letting her eyes roam over every single inch of Hermione's body. "Behave Bella. Keep it in your panties until the wedding night." Narcissa admonished softly.
"No promises Cissy. My willpower around Hermione is pretty much non-existent." The raven haired witch said with a grin.
Narcissa sighed softly as she gave her sister's arm a hard squeeze in reprimand, getting only a sheepish smile in return before they arrived at the dais, where Narcissa placed her sister's hand in that of Hermione before she and Andromeda took their places beside their sister.
McGonagall having heard the tail end of their conversation gave Bellatrix a stern look before looking to the gathered family and friends. "Good afternoon everyone. We have gathered here today to witness the union of Bellatrix Black and Hermione Granger in holy matrimony. These witches brought together through both prophecy and intellect have told me that they have written their own vows."
The two witches smiled at her before turning to each other. "Bella. The first time I saw you on Christmas morning I was immediately struck by your bright mind and compassionate nature. You were so willing to accept me for who I was, a Muggleborn with a penchant for being a know-it-all. When I learned of the Prophecy that I was to be mated to one of the Black sisters, I hoped with all my heart that it was you, because as much as I care for your sisters, I can honestly say that I only love you."
Bellatrix smiled at her. "Hermione, I never thought I was worthy of love after what I had gone through, but you have shown me not just in the last couple of months, but in the years that we've known each other that even I am worthy of true love. Your bright mind and unrivaled capacity for love never ceases to amaze me, and I am honored that after today I can call you my wife for as long as we both shall live."
"Those were beautiful vows, I always knew that you both were more romantic than you let on. May I ask you to now clasp your arms for the Marriage vow?" Minerva asked with a kind smile.
"If we may Headmistress, we would like to exchange rings before the vow." Bellatrix said with a smile.
The Headmistress smiled and nodded at them as Fabian handed Hermione the ring he had found for her in the Vault while Narcissa handed Bella the Black Family ring.
"Hermione, with this ring you will always be seen as a member of the House of Black, and will have access to all perks that come with that." Bellatrix said softly before they both turned back to the Headmistress
"I presume you are now ready to actually be married?" She asked with a smile.
They nodded and did as she asked of them, grabbing each other's forearms as Minerva took out her wand. "Do you Bellatrix Druella Black take Hermione Jean Granger as your lawfully wedded wife, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health until death do you part?"
Bellatrix smiled at her. "I do."
"Do you Hermione Jean Granger take Bellatrix Druella Black as your lawfully wedded wife, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health until death do you part?"
"I do." Hermione said with a similar smile.
Minerva smiled at them. "Then in my authority of Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot I pronounce you both married. You two may kiss."
Not needing to be told twice, the two gave each other a chaste enough kiss for present company.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to the Ladies Black, and before you all swamp them with their congratulations, they have requested to say a few words." McGonagall said kindly.
The newlyweds smiled at her before turning to their gathered family. As the Headmistress said, we know you are all dying to convey your well wishes, but we ask you wait with those until the reception. We have one more ritual to perform before we will be ready to join you all."
Everyone nodded and smiled at them as the followed Narcissa outside, where the reception would be held, while Bellatrix and Hermione made their way to the den which they had prepared for their ritual.
…
When everyone had gathered in the garden, Fabian immediately made his way to Dora, who he knew would want to see him after having spent so many hours away from him. Ever since her pregnancy started the second trimester, she had become very clingy and possessive of him, usually spending every waking hour by his side.
He didn't mind though. He knew it was something about pregnancies in their family that made women clingy and possessive of their lovers, having read all about it in the family book.
He found her talking to Fleur and Luna, both blondes having been frequent visitors to their home in the last months, most of the times catching them without clothes on as that had remained the norm in their home.
"Hey love, did you miss me?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
She smiled and leaned back in his embrace. "Of course we did. You know my pregnant brain cooks up the worst imaginable things when you're not here."
He smiled and pressed a kiss to her neck while he also rubbed her belly. "As it stands now, I'll be by your side for the rest of the day. Our little devil hasn't caused too much trouble for Mommy has she?"
Dora smiled and shook her head. "No, she's been fairly quiet. Your sister and her mate have been making sure of that."
"Then I suppose I should thank you both for taking care of my girlfriend while I was performing my Best Man duties. So thank you both." He said with a soft smile.
Luna smiled at him. "Don't mention it brother. We were happy to keep your girlfriend company, although you might want to tell her what those duties entailed."
"Of course. I merely needed to lace in Ginny and Hermione, since they both didn't know how to do that to our aunt's standards, and I went to see Mom for a bit since of course I walked in when Hermione was changing, so Ginny promptly kicked me out of the room until they were done." He said with a soft smile.
Dora smiled at him. "As long as that was all you did. You know that my irrational mind can't handle you touching another woman right now."
"Trust me baby, I am fully aware of that. I would never want to purposely piss you off. I like my balls where they are, thank you very much." He said with a wink.
She just smiled at him as she placed her hands over his. "I and our daughter thank you for that, and I would never do anything to your balls, I enjoy playing with them too much."
"Okay, that's too much information from you two. We don't need to know everything that goes on in your bedroom, Dora." Fleur said with a slight blush.
Nymphadora smiled at her ex-girlfriend. "That is hardly the dirtiest thing we get up together Fleur. Both of us have lively imaginations, and I was mostly teasing. We only do such things incidentally."
The blonde's blush darkened at that as she pulled Luna into her arms. "I also don't think we're the ones to talk about giving too much information love. It's not like we're saints in the bedroom ourselves."
"I know, mon amour, but as you well know I've not grown up with such openness to anything sexual, as contrary as that may sound coming from a Veela."
Luna smiled and kissed the older blonde softly. "I know love, and I was only teasing. That usually gets a bit out of hand when Fabian and I are left unchecked."
"Yes, we are well aware of that fact. You have told me many stories of your shared mischievousness over the years, which honestly makes me a bit nervous for how our daughter and their daughter are going to interact, given that they will not be that much apart in age." Fleur said softly.
"Is there something you two need to tell us?" Dora asked softly.
The two blushed a little at that. "Yes, we do actually. We wanted to keep this a surprised for a little while longer, but Fleur is pregnant. We haven't told anyone else besides Gabrielle, because she sensed it in Fleur already, so please try and keep it quiet for a little while longer." Luna said softly.
"Of course Lu. I've always kept your secrets and I have no intention of breaking the promise we made so long ago." He said softly.
Luna smiled at him as Narcissa came walking up to them. "Bella and Hermione are on their way back, so if you four would please take your seats."
They nodded and followed the blonde to the immaculately set table, where she showed them to their seats, including a raised eyebrow at her nephew to help his pregnant girlfriend into her seat first.
He merely smiled at her as he pulled out Dora's chair for her, giving his love a wink as she sat down. "How gentlemanly of you baby." She said teasingly.
"Only for you love." He said as he took his own seat, at which point Hermione and Bellatrix walked out of the house, both of them still slightly glowing from their ritual.
…
As the day drew to a close the two newlyweds were glad that they were home again, both very excited for what tonight would bring, but also still on cloud nine from the day itself. "I can't believe we're finally married. It still feels a bit surreal." Hermione said with a soft smile as the raven haired witch set her back down on her feet.
Bellatrix smiled and pulled her wife in for a kiss. "I know, I can hardly believe it myself. I love you Hermione."
"And I love you Bella, and before we really get our wedding night started, I want to ask if we can keep our dresses in one piece, because I really like them and perhaps one day our daughters might want to get married in them." Hermione said softly.
"I was planning to love, because while I love to rip clothes from your body, tonight is about something else. We should take our time with each other tonight. It's been too long since we've done that." Bellatrix said with a loving smile.
Hermione smiled at her as she pulled her in for a kiss. "Then I suppose the only question remains is who is going to get naked first?"
Bellatrix smiled at her. "I think we should alternate, build a little more anticipation for the inevitable."
Hermione smiled and kissed her wife softly. "Then turn around love, I want to see exactly how intricate a knot your sisters have made."
Bellatrix smiled as she turned around for her wife. "I think you'll be a bit disappointed love. Neither Cissa or Andromeda were very adept at knots. All I do know is that Cissa spent half an hour making sure everything was perfectly centered."
Hermione smiled as she pressed a kiss to the back of her wife's neck. "Something you've managed to undo in just under a day. Everything is skewed."
"Then perhaps you should take it off me. I've got a couple of surprises for you under here." Bellatrix said huskily.
Hermione grinned and slowly undid the silk ribbon that held up the corset her lover had fought so hard for, gently kissing the skin of her wife's back as it was revealed to her. "Not even wearing a bra for our wedding day. You're so scandalous Bella."
Bellatrix smiled at that as she turned around. "It was either wear a bra and have those straps be visible for everyone, or trust in my corset as I have always done. I chose the option that would not make me look tacky."
Hermione smiled at that. "I'm glad for that love, because I'm pretty sure that wouldn't have gone over well with your sister."
Bellatrix nodded and smiled as Hermione turned around so she could return the favor. "I see my son has put a lot of work in tying these the way Cissy expected of him."
Hermione merely smiled as they continued to undress each other, and soon both of them wearing nothing more than their lingerie, both women taking a moment to revel in the beauty before them.
Bellatrix then pulled the brunette close and smiled at her. "Are you ready for your surprise love?"
Hermione blushed a little and nodded as she crawled onto the bed, knowing the gist of what her lover was planning. "Of course I am Bella, my body and soul are yours."
Bellatrix smiled as she focused her magical energy to release the charm they had placed earlier this afternoon before taking off her underwear. "As mine are yours, my love. Are you sure you want to perform this ritual tonight? We can wait a few days if you're not sure."
"I'm ready Bella. I've been ready for a while now, and by doing it this way we make sure our child won't be born too far removed from his nieces." Hermione said softly.
Bellatrix nodded as the magical dick sprouted from her clit, after which she crawled onto the bed and pulled her wife into a kiss. "Then if you are ready, I am too, Lady Black."
Hermione smiled and spread her legs for her wife, and after another kiss from the raven haired witch, Bellatrix pushed her magical cock inside of her wife, both of them moaning loudly as the sensations ripped through them. "Sweet Merlin, you're so tight baby. Any of our strap-ons can't compare to this."
"You feel so big inside of me baby. Whose size did you have in mind when we finalized this ritual?" Hermione asked softly.
Bellatrix smiled and kissed her softly. "To be very honest, and I hope you don't find this weird, but since I only have two examples to draw from, I took the bigger option, being Fabian."
"Before a couple of months ago, I would have found this weird, but after we caught them, I can honestly say that I didn't know they could get that big. I'm honestly happy that you chose his size. It is a weird way of coming full circle for us, since we technically got together because of him." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Bellatrix smiled at her wife as they quickly found a rhythm. "True, and I think we should properly thank him for bringing us together, after our honeymoon of course."
Hermione nodded and moaned as Bellatrix picked up her rhythm again, the two moving together almost as one entity. "Bella baby, please let me ride you, it's been so long and I want to feel it all the way inside of me."
The raven haired witch nodded and slowly pulled out of her wife, just to tease the brunette a little bit more.
That made Hermione moan again as she pushed Bellatrix to her back and straddled her wife, teasing the magical cock with her lower lips as she ground against it.
"Don't tease me baby, I've been good today. I haven't sexed you up during either the ceremony, the ritual or the reception, just like I promised." The raven haired witch said with a pout.
Hermione smiled at her. "This is not teasing love. This is some more preparation. It is the biggest thing you've ever fucked me with after all."
"Yes, I am very much aware, and we are definitely using this spell again without the ritual, because I am really curious about how it feels."
Hermione nodded and kissed her wife softly as she slowly lowered herself onto the magical dick and started riding her, but because of the size and how it hit every spot inside of her she knew it wouldn't take long for her to cum, and given how wildly Bella was trying to push into her, she knew her wife was close too.
"Hermione, I can't hold on too much longer, you're squeezing so well with that tight pussy of yours." Bellatrix said with a strained groan.
Hermione smiled at her. "Then fill me up baby. Claim me as your property once and for all."
Bellatrix smiled and pulled the brunette into a kiss as she came with a loud moan, Hermione on her turn crashing into her own orgasm, the two witches riding out their highs with soft kisses and light touches as they fell asleep still entangled in each other.
