Chapter 2

Hermione woke the next morning not believing what happened yesterday. She could not believe she heard something only two other people in the world knew about. It was hard not to get up, run to Harry and Ron and tell them everything. But Ron was being such a git lately anyway. She got up and tried not to think about it. When she joined everyone at the table weird looks from everybody except Ron
who was too busy eating like it was his last day on earth to notice anyone.

"Hermione are you all right, you look like someone just dropped a whole bucket of barbies on you?" Asked Harry.
"I'm fine I just forgot to comb my hair this morning." Hermione knew she looked like hell but since she couldn't tell them the truth anyway she tried to change the topic.
"So Ginny are you going to tell us who is the new boy you are dating?" Ginny blushed like a tomato. "There is no boy Hermione. Why would there always have to be a boy in my life to make me happy? Do you not think I can do okay without one?" Hermione put her arms up in defeat and instead concentrated on eating her favourite chocolate chip pancakes. She started thinking about what Ginny said. She always imagined herself with a husband and two kids. But lately she had no desire for men. She found herself thinking of Bellatrix and how much that woman turned her on by simply looking at her. She imagined how it would be if she put her fingers trough that thick hair and how it would feel to pull the woman close and put her lips on hers. How it would be if Bellatrix kissed her back and pulled her closer. How it would be if Bellatrix started to undo her corset while she would be kissing Bellatrix's neck. Hermione was so deep in her daydream she didn't hear Harry calling her name.
"Hermione!" She jumped in her seat as she was brutally pulled out of her daydream. "What is it Harry?" She knew she sounded annoyed but at the moment she didn't care.
"I said that we have to leave for class. I heard some people talking in the hallway that Slughorn quit and now Snape has to teach two subjects. Let's go check it out." With that statement Harry grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her behind him towards the classroom.

Snape was already there and was scowling at the students. Which was nothing new just that this time they all heard him muttering something under his chin. It was something about free time and slugs. No one could hear him clear enough to decipher the exact message behind his rant.
About half way trough the lesson there was a knock on the door and in came Albus Dimbledore. Behind him was a furious looking witch. She was wearing a tight long sleeved shirt and over a corset that beautifully displayed her cleavage. She also wore black skinny jeans. Her hair was a messy bun of black curls that were desperately trying to escape. She appeared to be in her late twenties. Hermione thought she was the second most beautiful woman she has ever seen (the first of coarse being Bellatrix). There was something familiar about her, Hermione just couldn't figure out what.

Snape glared at the newcomers and asked with his normal unamused voice "What brings you here headmaster?" Dumbledore looked happily at him " I have come to release you of half of your hours. This is my friend professor Kate Black. She is here to teach defence against the dark arts. She will observe you today but tomorrow you will be free of one subject. I am sorry that I am trowing this at you now and without warning you but I just called her here this morning. Now you may continue with your lesson. Just pretend she is one of your students today." And with that Dumbledore left leaving professor Black standing in the middle of the classroom. She just shrugged and sat herself at the nearest seat. Which happened to be next to Hermione. Hermione who had been staring at her the whole time now blushed and the professor looked at her questionably. Which only made her blush more.

Snape started talking about the dark spells. They were apparently spells used to physically hurt someone. "So does anyone know what the spell feareous does?" Of course Hermione's hand shot up, but as always Snape ignored her. His eyes went to the witch next to her "Perhaps you would know miss Black?" She looked at him amused "Of coarse I know. It is a spell that creates immense fear in your enemy. It works on their brain so they are reliving the worst and scariest memories in their life. The images become so vivid the victims start shaving seizures and eventually die of an overload in their brain. The spell is extremely hard to do because you have to keep your wand pointed at them at all times. You also have to brake in their mind and relive the memories of the person you are casting the spell on. Therefore no one uses it anymore because it often causes the death of both the victim and the caster of the spell." There was dead silence in the classroom. "Would you like to know anything more or have I satisfied you professor?" Bellatrix said the word professor with a hiss. Like Snape was unworthy of being called that.
"Thank you miss Black. And yes you did satisfy me, thank you very much. That will be all for today class." Snape left quickly leaving the stunned students alone in the classroom with the new professor. Hermione was blown away
With the sexiness of her voice. She thought she heard that voice somewhere.

"Well students I guess this means I have the next few minutes to introduce myself. I am Kate Black and I am going to be your DADA teacher for a while. I expect you to be quiet during my classes and if you have a question raise your hand. We will be using the same book you have been using now, so you won't have to buy new ones. When I give you homework I expect you do it yourself because I will know when someone else did it. If someone would be nice enough to lend me their notes for tonight please." Hermione of coarse immediately jumped at the request and offered her notes to the teacher. The teacher just nodded and took the notes.

The class was over and all of the students were leaving when Hermione figured out from when she remembered the voice. It was Bellatrix. She quickly turned her head and looked at Bellatrix. "You are her aren't you?" Bellatrix lifted her eyebrow and looked at her questionably. "Who am I, miss Grainger?" Hermione looked at her. "You are Bellatrix Lestrange." Bella nodded "How did you know? It isn't visible is it?" Now she sounded almost worried.
"No I just recognized your voice from yesterday."
"You recognised my voice?" Hermione blushed again.
"Yes" she couldn't say anything else without choking from fear.
"Do you think anyone else can recognize my voice?"
"No" Hermione felt like a ten year old with his first crush. There was this giddy feeling in her belly and her breathing was getting a little uneven under Her glare.
"Do you think anyone else will recognise it?"
"No"
"So we are back to one syllable now?" Bellatrix got this glint in her eye she saw the previous night when she was talking about not having any rules.
"No professor I was just thinking about those questions I had. If you could give me some an..." Hermione's mouth was covered with Bella's hand in a moment. "Don't talk about that here you foolish child. Come to my cabinet today after dinner and I may be able to answer some of those questions you have." With that she walked away from Hermione once again and disappeared behind the corner. Hermione was exited and started to think of all the questions. Better write them down, she thought. She could not believe that Bellatrix Lestrange agreed to answer her questions. She had to prepare.

A/N: I know this chapter was without any... Well pretty much anything. But I have planed some action ahead so don't go anywhere.
I want to thank everyone who reviewed the previous chapter and I beg all of you to tell me what you think about this chapter.
Oh and happy new year everybody!
