True Love
C13: New Year's Madness
Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters
The morning of the Ball the three lovers were woken up early by Narcissa, much to the consternation of both Bellatrix and Hermione, who had once again gotten accustomed to being able to sleep in, and of course the raven-haired witch let her displeasure known by burying herself in the covers. "Now Bella, don't be difficult. I've given you plenty of opportunity to sleep in over the last few days and today is a special day. There is no time to be lazy."
Bellatrix grumbled as she pulled the covers over her head, to which Hermione pulled the blonde close, so Bellatrix wouldn't hear. "You know Bella responds well to sexual teasing these days Cissa. I'm sure she wouldn't expect you crawling in there with her and… convincing her that it can only work in her favor if she gets up with us. Andi and I will just sit back and watch the show." She said in a whisper.
Narcissa smiled and kissed the brunette softly before she turned to the lump of covers that was her sister, while Hermione sought the comfort of Andromeda's arms.
As Narcissa found a way into the cover fortress, Hermione and Andromeda couldn't help but smile at the blonde. "How do you think she'll go at it?" Hermione asked softly.
Andromeda smiled and wrapped her arms around the other brunette. "Very directly love, this is not going to take five minutes."
The moment she said it there was a loud moan as the covers were thrown off and they saw Narcissa pumping into their raven-haired lover with a magical dick as the blonde's lips were latched onto one of Bellatrix's nipples.
That shocked both brunette's a little, not to mention how horny it made them. "Really now Cissy. Isn't this a little bit excessive?" Andromeda asked softly,
"Not at all. We could all use the relaxation before we throw ourselves into the final preparations for tonight, so please, join us."
Not needing to told twice both Hermione and Andromeda moved crawled towards their lovers and Hermione wasted little time in straddling Bella's face while Andromeda sidled up behind Narcissa. "I had expected a lot of things Cissy, but for you to immediately conjure up a cock and fuck Bella awake was not on the list."
"Feel free to do the same to me love. I don't think we've ever done something like this before. I would love to feel you inside of me while I give Bella a proper workout." Narcissa said softly.
Andromeda grinned at that as she conjured up her own dick before teasing the blonde's lower lips with it. "I was planning to, my love. I just have trouble deciding how I want to ravage my baby sister." She said as she let her hands roam to Narcissa's breasts.
The blonde moaned softly as Andromeda kept teasing her lower lips with the magic cock, but the moan was soon swallowed by Hermione as she kissed the blonde deeply.
Right at that moment Andromeda slipped the magical dick into the blonde. "This is so unlike you Cissa. I could've sworn that you would have been against something like this." The brunette said softly.
Narcissa smiled at that as she broke the kiss with Hermione. "In the past, I would've never even entertained the thought of something like this today. But things are different now. We'll spend the rest of our lives being intimate together and it was only a matter of time before this would happen, so I've had time to prepare myself for this, and I'll be honest, this is amazing."
Both Andromeda and Hermione smiled at that. "I knew you'd like it Cissa. Bella being difficult was just an added bonus." Andromeda said with a smile.
There was a muffled protest from underneath Hermione followed by a loud moan. "I think Bella is trying to say that she wasn't being difficult, just tired, but that she certainly doesn't mind this turn of events."
The only response the raven-haired witch could give was a thumbs up, while never missing a beat in pleasuring Hermione.
Both Narcissa and Andromeda smiled at that as they too fell into a rhythm as they made love together, where Andromeda basically fucked her youngest sister into Bellatrix all the while she kept playing with the blonde's luscious breasts. "Sweet Morgana Andi, your nipples are rock hard. I love the feeling of them scraping against my back." Narcissa said with a loud moan.
Andromeda smiled at her sister. "You're the one to talk Cissy. Your nipples are hard enough to cut glass. I had almost forgotten how stiff they get when you're really turned on."
"I think we're all really turned on Andi, and I doubt it will be the last time we will find ourselves in such a situation, and who knows, perhaps next time I'll be the one in Bella's position." Narcissa said with a coy smile.
"Would you like that Cissa? To be pounded into the mattress like you're doing to Bella?" Hermione asked sultrily.
Narcissa smiled and kissed the brunette deeply. "Would it surprise you if I said yes and that I want even more?"
"A little, but if I've learned anything in the past couple of months, it is that I should always keep an open mind with you three, and I will admit that I've had numerous fantasies myself where I was in Bella's position." Hermione admitted softly.
Narcissa and Andromeda smiled at her. "In time I'm sure we will all be in Bella's position, because it certainly seems like she is enjoying herself."
Bellatrix only moaned as an answer before she shuddered in orgasm, with Hermione not far behind the raven-haired witch. "Already Bella? I'm a bit disappointed since you always tout yourself to be the most insatiable of us." Narcissa said teasingly.
Bellatrix waited with answering until Hermione had gotten off her. "You chose that size for a very specific reason Cissy. You knew I would be willing to comply with anything. You do not play fair." She said with a cute pout.
Narcissa smiled sweetly at her sister as she slowly pulled out of her and bent down to give her a kiss. "I know love, but you can't deny that you didn't enjoy it, it's been a while since I heard you moan like that after all."
Bellatrix smiled and nodded as the four cuddled up for just a moment longer, since they did have to prepare the last few things for the event tonight.
…
Once the four lovers had taken a shower and had gotten dressed in some practical clothes. Narcissa gave everyone their assignments. Bellatrix, Fabian and Luna were tasked with making sure the entryway was ready for tonight. Dora and Andromeda were in charge of the reception hall while she and Draco would finish the last preparations to the ball room. This only left Hermione and Fleur, who were tasked with concealing everything that might have something to do with the Dark Lord or the Death Eater movements so that no one in attendance would be able to ask questions about that and possibly relay anything to the authorities.
The only reason Narcissa split them all up was because of what happened this morning and the fact that she did not trust herself to not to jump her lovers again.
Hermione didn't mind though, it would give her time to catch up with Fleur a little while also making sure her lover's standards were upheld and that everything would be perfect for tonight, knowing she would be a big part of that, since it would be her introduction to the greater pureblood community.
It was why Narcissa was so adamant on making sure everything was perfect, and why she had not once complained when dragged to countless shopping trips to find her the perfect dress since that was the only thing she had insisted on. She would not be wearing dress robes tonight.
Narcissa had eventually caved and allowed it, as long as she could pick it out for her, which the brunette had been fine with.
"So Hermione, are you excited to experience your first high society event?" The blonde asked to snap her out of her thoughts.
Hermione smiled at her. "I'm kind of nervous actually. Despite everything I've shared with them over the last months and all the lessons Narcissa has given me I don't know anything about how to behave in such polite society."
Fleur smiled at that. "I'm sure you'll be a natural at this Hermione, it is as much a part of you as your intellect is, and I'm sure that with your lovers standing next to you, you'll make a big impact tonight."
Hermione blushed a little at that. "That's what worries me. I've never been comfortable with standing in the spotlight, and I fear that even with them by my side I will make a fool out of myself, and that is something I vehemently refuse to do."
Fleur smiled and pulled the brunette into a hug. "It'll be fine Hermione. There is no need to worry about that. Just think of tonight as the Yule Ball. No one will dare to speak out against you with both Bellatrix and Narcissa standing next to you, not even behind your back."
Hermione relaxed in the blonde's arms. "Thank you, I think I needed to hear that. You've always known exactly what to say to settle my nerves."
"Part of that is because I'm a Veela. We care deeply about family and you are my family now. No matter what happens, or how annoyed you are with your mates, I will always be there if you need to talk, or even just vent to someone that is not one of your mates." The blonde said with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled at that. "I'll be honest and say that there have been times all three of them get on my nerves, and I'm sure that the opposite is true too. It's just that we can't seem to stay away from each other and thus seem to solve our issues with sex."
"I know exactly what you mean. Dora and I do the same. We usually talk afterwards when we're both a bit more level headed, since I am sure you know both of us can be quite hard headed at times." Fleur said with a soft smile.
Hermione laughed lightly at that. "Don't I know it. I am very well aware of my stubbornness, and I think they are at least just as stubborn as I am, which is usually the case for any kind of argument."
"It seems we've chosen women just as headstrong as we are. I suppose it was an inevitability." Fleur said softly.
Hermione nodded at that. "It's not just the women though. Fabian and Draco are just as stubborn, which I suspect is something they inherited from their mothers."
Fleur only nodded at that. "That's very true, which leads me to something I have been wanting to ask you for a while. Doesn't it bother you that both Draco and Fabian will basically become your step-sons and that Dora will become your step-daughter?"
"Dora asked me the same question when I just came here, and my answer hasn't changed. It doesn't because we all know that if this was a normal situation this would never have happened. Dora will just find it funny and I know for a fact that she will start calling me Mom on inappropriate moments from the moment we get engaged. I've also had a long talk with both Draco and Fabian about this and we've come to the agreement that it doesn't have to be weird. I will just be Hermione, and they will just be Fabian and Draco." Hermione said with a soft smile.
"That's good to hear, and you don't have to worry. I'll try my best to keep my girlfriend in check." Fleur said with her usual kind smile.
Hermione smiled and gave her a hug. "Dora is actually the one I would mind it the least from, because we've been friends for so long and I know she would only do it to tease me. She forgets that I have plenty of things to get her back on."
Fleur giggled at that as they finished up their sweep of the Manor. "I'm sure you have, and I will reserve the right to know about some of those things if I ever feel the need to tease her with something embarrassing."
Hermione only nodded at her as the two witches made their way back to the living room, having found nothing more that could link to the Dark Lord.
…
When it was time for everyone to prepare themselves for the evenings festivities, Narcissa was a bit worried that things might escalate, but after being given numerous assurances by all three of her lovers that it wouldn't happen, she had conceded and agreed to dress together with her lovers.
She honestly had a bit of doubt about the rest of the couples in the house, but hoped that their healthy fear of her would win out over anything they might want to try to stall for tonight's activities.
Despite them having all the room they would need for events like this, she was the last one to actually get dressed, wanting to make sure she could help Hermione get into her dress.
She honestly had little doubts about Bella and Andromeda being able to make the right choice in dress tonight, mostly because she knew that Andromeda go for safe and Bella would choose her usual corset and dress combination.
For herself she had chosen something that was a bit risque for her usual tastes for tonight, but with everything going on and she had been forced to rethink a lot of things about herself, she thought that she could get away with a bit more of a risky dress. It hugged her curves tightly and showed off a bit of cleavage as well as having a decent split up one leg of her dress.
"You know Cissy, I still think it's not fair that you get to wear such a sexy dress tonight while you have always admonished us for trying to do the same." Bellatrix said with a slight pout.
The blonde smiled at her lover. "This year is different love. So much has changed that I think we can get away with something a bit more risky. Chances are that we won't be the center of attention anyway, but rather Hermione."
Bellatrix smiled at that as she took off her dress so she could look for something more in line with that of her sister. I think you might be right in that. She will certainly be bombarded with questions from those that don't know what has been going on."
Narcissa nodded at that. "She will, but she'll be able to handle it. If she can manage to convince a room full of Death Eaters, she'll be able to spin a story for pretentious purebloods, and let's be honest, it's not like we won't be by her side all night."
"True, at least Andi and I will when you're playing host to our guests. All in all I think she'll make a very positive impact tonight." Bellatrix said with a soft smile.
Narcissa smiled and pressed a kiss to her lover's cheek. "I know she will, because while she doubts herself, our bond won't allow her to falter tonight."
Bellatrix nodded at that as she found the perfect dress for tonight. "That's true, but she'll be fine. She'll have the eyes of everyone in the room in the dress you picked out for her."
"I'll be honest and say that my choice for her dress was not entirely made for tonight. It was so that we had something to look at as well." Narcissa said with a soft smile.
"I knew it there was more to this dress than you let on." Hermione said as she too walked into the closet.
Narcissa and Bellatrix smiled at her. "Sorry for the deception love, but we wouldn't want you to think I picked it out just for personal reasons. You really do look amazing in it."
Hermione smiled and kissed them both softly. "Thank you love, I have to say that I feel pretty amazing too. I barely recognized myself in the mirror."
Narcissa smiled at their lover as she pulled up the zipper on Hermione's dress. "That's because this is still relatively new for you baby. You'll be a natural at this, and if anything goes wrong, at least one of us will be by your side at all times." The blonde said with a sweet smile.
Hermione nodded and relaxed against Narcissa. "Thank you for the vote of confidence Cissa. I promise to try and not be an embarrassment tonight."
"I doubt you could be worse than me, Hermione. I'm kind of notorious for being a bit of a nuisance at the New Year's Ball." Bellatrix said with a soft smile as Hermione did up the zipper for the raven-haired witch.
"I think we're ready for the next stage. Hair and make-up, which Andi will do for all of us to make sure it will be perfect. She's always had an eye for that sort of thing." Narcissa said with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled at that as they made their way out of the closet and to what they had dubbed their beauty area, which were four full size vanity tables with fully lit mirrors.
Andromeda had already done her hair and they had to admit that she looked absolutely amazing. "Take a seat love. I have big plans for your hair today."
"I'm all yours baby. You would truly be a miracle worker if you could make something of the mess that is my hair." Hermione said as she took a seat.
Andromeda smiled at her. "You have gorgeous hair, my love. It merely requires a bit of work to tame it, which is something I won't ever mind doing. Your hair is so soft after all."
Hermione blushed a little at that as Andromeda started to work on her hair. "I think that you will look very well with a type of bun that Narcissa prefers, but with a slight alteration. I would like to try and have a few curls hang loose to frame your face a bit. Your hair has this natural curl that we shouldn't ignore." Andromeda said as she combed her fingers through Hermione's hair.
"I would like that. I had a similar hairstyle at the Yule Ball a couple of years ago and I thought that made me look beautiful far beyond the confidence I had at that point. Ginny really outdid herself that night." Hermione said with a slight blush.
Andromeda smiled at that as she pressed a kiss to her lover's cheek. "Then I hope to do as good a job as she did, although we can ask her tonight."
Hermione's eyes widened at that. "You invited her?" She asked Narcissa.
Narcissa smiled at her from the seat next to her. "Of course love, her and the twins. We know what they mean to you and any friends of yours are always welcome here. You know that we trust your judgment implicitly."
Hermione smiled brightly at that. "Thank you, it means a lot to me."
"Anytime love. All we want is to see you happy." Bellatrix said sweetly.
Hermione just smiled and blew the two witches a kiss before giving Andromeda a loving smile, now more at ease than she had been for most of the day.
…
By the time Hermione was deemed ready by both Andromeda and Narcissa, it was nearly time for her to make her entrance, which they had agreed would be beside Bellatrix for her first foray into the world of the purebloods.
They took a moment together in each other's arms while they listened for their signal to come down. "Nervous love?" Bellatrix asked with a soft smile.
"Not anymore. Fleur helped me settle my nerves a little while we were making sure nothing would be to obviously connected to the fact that we've been hosting Death Eaters and the Dark Lord." Hermione said softly.
Bellatrix smiled and pressed a soft kiss to her lover's cheek. "Good, I had hoped she would be able to settle your nerves a little. We all felt it through the bond that you had some apprehensions for tonight."
Hermione nodded and smiled at that. "I did, but now that I'm all dressed up and looking like a proper pureblood, I am ready to take on the world, since I will have you, Andi and Cissa next to me for tonight."
"It will probably be Cissy for the start of the night. She is most suited to make proper introductions, since I would just scare them off and Andi would just get annoyed. Once you've done your rounds we'll be there with a glass of wine and your friends." Bellatrix said sweetly.
The brunette smiled at that as she kissed her lover's cheek. "Would you be surprised if I said that I could really use a glass of wine?"
Bellatrix smiled and shook her head. "No love, no one would fault you. Chances are that you'll see Cissy become sloshed too. It is the one night a year she can both be the Ice Queen and be herself at the same time."
Hermione smiled at that. "That only makes me wonder what she's like when she's drunk."
"Oh you'll see tonight my love, and I would dare say you would be surprised, especially since this is the first time we'll see Cissy drunk while also very much in love." Bellatrix said softly.
Hermione smiled and kissed her softly as they saw the blonde stand at the foot of the stairs, a soft smile gracing her lips. "I think that's our cue love."
Bellatrix nodded and hooked her arm through that of Hermione before they made their way down the stairs.
There was a slight muttering amongst the people present as they came down, mostly combined with gasps of surprise from the people who thought they knew who she was.
When they stepped down the last step Bellatrix pressed a kiss to Hermione's knuckles before placing her hand on Narcissa's arm. "Good luck love, and remember, don't let them see it if they hurt you."
Hermione nodded and smiled at her lover as she was swept away by Narcissa through the crowd.
Bellatrix on her turn made her way over to Andromeda, who was in conversation with Dora and Fleur, while Fabian and Luna stood close by while giving odd comments at appropriate times. She made her way over to them and wrapped her arms around her sister's waist. "Hello lover. I missed you."
Andromeda smiled at her. "You saw me ten minutes ago Bella. Don't start the drama this early."
"I was teasing you Andi. I just wanted to see what you would say." She said before turning to her son and niece. "That does not mean however we will allow chaos tonight however. It is Hermione's first time with us and your aunt will find a way to get revenge if any of us screw it up tonight."
Fabian and Dora both nodded. "We promise we won't do anything to derail things tonight mother. Both aunt Cissa and Hermione asked us the same, and honestly they are scarier than you are." Fabian said with a soft smile.
Bellatrix smiled at that. "It's good to know you still have such good survival instincts, sweetie. It will only help you in the future."
He smiled and nodded at her as he pressed a kiss to Luna's cheek. "I need to have proper survival instincts, because we all know I could never make Luna upset with me. I don't think my heart could handle it."
Bellatrix and Andromeda both smiled at that. "I used to wonder where you got your romantic side from, but in recent months I know exactly where that comes from." The brunette said with a sweet smile to Bellatrix.
Dora made a fake gagging sound in her throat, but was quickly admonished by her own girlfriend. "Don't mock their love, mon amour. I think it's sweet that your mother is so in love with her sisters and Hermione."
Dora smiled and pressed a kiss to the blonde's cheek. "I was teasing love. I might not want to cause chaos tonight for fear of what hex aunt Cissa might use, but teasing my mother and perhaps Hermione was always going to happen."
Andromeda smiled at that. "It's part of who you are sweetie, and I doubt that at this point there is something you can say that I haven't heard before."
Nymphadora smiled and nodded at that. "I suppose, but for once I'll behave, since I don't want to sleep on the couch tonight."
Fleur smiled and pressed a kiss to the Metamorphmagus' cheek. "I wouldn't let you sleep on the couch, I would just deny you certain pleasures."
"Could we not talk sex tonight. I don't want to lose my own bedroom privileges either." Bella said in a whisper, hoping Narcissa didn't for some reason hear what Fleur had just said.
"Also, it is not something I would like to think about. Even for our family there should be some mystery left. We're in close quarters for most of the time, so I would rather not know what goes on in different bedrooms." Fabian said softly.
Bellatrix smiled at her son. "That's a bit of the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it sweetie. All of us have been witness, both audible and visible, to how you and Luna often spend your evenings."
…
When Narcissa and Hermione joined their lovers an hour later, the brunette was already dead of her feet, which is why she was now lounging in Bellatrix's arms as they sat cuddled up against each other on the couch.
"So love, how did you find your first dip into the pool of pureblood gatherings?" The raven-haired witch asked with a soft smile.
Hermione smiled at her. "It went well actually, better than I actually thought it would go."
"You're too modest love. You were a natural. You never fell silent once and always held perfect poise and the upper hand in your conversations, as a good hostess should." Narcissa said with a fond smile.
"Thank you Cissa, it means a lot to me that you deem my manners appropriate for your functions." Hermione said with a slight blush.
Narcissa smiled at her as she took a seat on her other side, while Andromeda took a seat on the armrest closest to them. "We never had any doubts love. Our bond won't allow you to fail, because it doesn't want us to embarrass ourselves. It would be the same if the roles were reversed and we were doing something you used to do in the Muggle World. It wouldn't allow us to fail either."
Hermione smiled and pressed a soft kiss to the blonde's cheek. "Really now, then I think I might need to find something to test that." She said with a grin.
The three sisters looked a bit shocked at that, which made Hermione smile as she saw Ginny walk up to them. "We'll come back to that, because I think a Weasley hug is in my very near future." She said as she stood to accept said hug.
Ginny nearly crushed her best friend in her arms. "It's so good to see you 'Mione. I've missed you so much."
"I missed you too Gin. I'm sorry that I haven't been in contact more in recent months. It's all gone a bit fast." Hermione said softly.
The redhead smiled at that. "I know, and it's not like I've not been busy at school too. I'm just happy to be invited tonight. The twins wanted to come, but couldn't because they felt a bit under the weather. They asked me to send their love though."
Hermione smiled at her as the two took a seat so they could talk. "Be sure to send my love to them when you see them again, but how are you doing, I mean really doing? I know with everything going on it must be at least a little bit chaotic."
Ginny smiled and nodded. "It is, but I know it won't be for much longer. Ever since the raid the rest of the family has been silent, not even bothering to contact us anymore. Ron is more enraged than ever and tells everyone who will listen that he will be your end. He was certain it was you that attacked the Burrow."
Hermione smiled at that as she looked around. "You know that it was us, we needed to send a message to the Order, since they keep harassing us at every moment."
"I know 'Mione, and I fully understand. For the time being I can stay with the twins, and once everything settles I'll figure things out. But I am more curious about you. How did all this come about?" Ginny asked softly.
"It's a bit of a story. I'm sure both Ron and Harry have told you about what happened after we were captured, but I'm pretty sure that is a lie. I've made my choice a long time ago and I realize that it was the only right choice. From the talks I had with both Dora and Andromeda I knew there was something brewing, and when I started exchanging letters with Bellatrix I knew for a fact that it was something special.
When we were brought here and the boys were carted off, I reaffirmed my vows to Bellatrix, and not much later to the Dark Lord too. Our first assignment was to find out exactly what was happening between the four of us, and of course we dove into the full force. Apparently there is a Prophecy where I am the glue that will forever bind the sisters together, and I think we've made that come true over the last couple of months. I don't know if I can ever live without them anymore, and of course I've been rightfully accused of becoming more and more like them every day."
Ginny and the three sisters smiled at that. "I have to admit that you four look very natural together. I'm glad you found the love that you deserve, 'Mione."
"Thank you Gin, that means a lot to me. If there is anything we can do to help you or the twins in any way, just say it. I want to make sure the three of you are well taken care of. You have always stood by me and have been my best friend at school for six years, and you know I always try and take good care of my friends." Hermione said with a soft smile.
Ginny smiled at that. "You also don't have to be afraid to ask anything of us Ginny. We will gladly help you with anything you might need." Narcissa said kindly.
"I will keep that in mind, Ms. Black." The redhead said with a slight blush.
"Please dear, call us by our first names. You have been there for our love in her darkest times. You are a part of our family too, and you will always be welcome here." Narcissa said kindly.
Ginny smiled at her. "Thank you, that means a lot to me. I will admit I was a little bit nervous about coming here tonight, but surprisingly everyone has treated me no different than another. I was afraid that my allegiance to the Order, forced as it may be, would change people's perspective."
"You were invited as Hermione's friend, and Hermione has already garnered quite the reputation by being bonded to us. That will trump any allegiances to the Order. We also know that you know what is true more than most of your siblings and parents." Bellatrix said with a soft smile.
Ginny smiled at that as they continued their conversation for most of the night, and at the end of the night Hermione was sure that Ginny would return to her brothers with a lighter mind.
