AN: Hey guys! So uni is a bit hectic at the moment so my writing time is a lot less. We are coming to the end of this journey soon. I see there only being a few more chapters but I may consider a sequel if anyone is interested. I apologise or any mistakes. Im not too sure how I feel about this one but hey-ho. Hope you all enjoy :)

'I can't believe this is happening right now.' Hermione giggled as she applied the finishing touches to her hair.

'Me neither.' Harry grunted. The brunette turned to look at her best friend, a soft smile in place. Reaching out she rested her hand on his forearm before pressing a small kiss to his cheek.

'I know it's soon but it's what I want.'

'How did this happen so fast 'Mione?' The raven haired wizard sighed as the sides of his mouth crept towards a smile.

'I feel like a toddler I'm so excited.' Hermione spoke shyly, her eyes downcast as her lover caressed her cheek gently.

'I know what you mean.' Bellatrix softly kissed the young witch's forehead. She wasn't going to let Lucius anywhere near her love after her letter from Narcissa. It was with great reluctance she informed the brunette of said letter but the dark witch knew she wouldn't get away with keeping things from the bookworm.

'So we're getting married tomorrow night.' The brunette grinned.

'Yes. Yes we are.' Bellatrix laughed softly before kissing the young witch soundly.

'Its difficult to explain Harry just know that it makes me happy.'

'I think it's pretty cool.' Ron chimed in, grin in place as he fixed his suit.

Hermione laughed to herself as she turned to face the mirror once again. Deep down she knew Ron wasn't happy with the arrangement but the fact he was willing to put his negativity aside for her made her heart swell with happiness and love for her friends. Even Harry, who was more vocal about his disagreement to the situation, was willing to stand by her side while she married the love of her life in a secret ceremony. Originally the two witches had planned a grand wedding to show off their love. Then they decided on a small ceremony which would take place the coming weekend with friends and family. Now their plans had changed again. Hermione sighed softly. The circumstances for the change weren't ideal but she was going to marry her love in less than half an hour and that made her ecstatic.

'Your family really aren't going to be happy.' The brunette muttered sadly.

'They'll cope. They love me and they love you, what more can they want than us married?' The dark witch chuckled.

'But they've gone through so much effort. We've already changed things so much. From 6 months to 6 days and now to tomorrow.'

'Hermione, my family are going to be fine. It's only going to be my mother, Andy, Cissy, Dora, Draco and little Teddy. They will understand I promise you.'

'Harry and Ron aren't going to be pleased.' The brunette sighed.

'Merlin woman! Stop worrying about everybody else. This is about us.' The dark witch kissed Hermione's temple softly as her hands began to massage the girl's shoulders.

'I know I just want things to go smoothly.' The girl admitted as she pressed herself further against her lover's body.

'They will little lion. They will.'

'Oh! Bellatrix you look so beautiful!' Druella gushed as she cupped her daughter's face in her hands.

'Hermione's a lucky lady.' Andromeda smiled as she kissed her sister's forehead.

'I don't know about that.' Narcissa teased. Careful to avoid the slap her sister had for her.

'Girls play nice.' Druella grinned. 'Are you ready my darling?'

'I've never been more ready for anything in my life.' Bellatrix beamed at her family as they surrounded her.

'Everyone's here. Minerva, Bill, Fleur, Ron, Harry, Luna, Dora, Teddy and Draco.' Andromeda checked of the list of those invited. The two witches had seriously narrowed down their guest list for a wedding such short notice.

'Good. Hermione will be happy that they all made it.' Bella smiled to herself at the thought of her love.

'We'll see you out there Bella.' Andromeda grinned.

'Good luck big snake.' Narcissa smirked as she kissed her sister quickly.

'Bugger off.' The dark witch grumbled as her sister's left laughing.

'I am so proud of you.' Druella smiled fondly at her eldest born.

'I know mum.'

'Even if the circumstances are a little off, today will be perfect.'

'I should thank Lucius really. He might be a worm but if it weren't for him I wouldn't be getting married so soon.' The dark witch smirked.

'What do you mean Lucius is up to something?' Hermione's face turned to stone as she looked into the face of her love.

'He's been acting off for weeks. Hiding things more than usual, sneaking off. Cissy thought it best to tell us.'

'So he's just being normal Lucius! That's no reason to call off the wedding!' The brunette fumed.

'Hermione you don't know him like I do! Yes he's a coward but he's a devious one. He wants revenge, that much is obvious. If the situation were reversed I would be too. If it weren't for us he would be living the life he desires instead he's nothing. Nobody. But a dangerous nobody.' Bellatrix pleaded with the headstrong girl. She didn't want to postpone their wedding but saw no other option. She wouldn't risk anything when it came to Lucius.

'I don't want to wait Bella. He's not likely to do anything surrounded by people.'

'Im not willing to take that risk Hermione. I won't let anything happen to you. He faces a second trial in two weeks. That's no time at all really and with any luck he'll be sent down. Then we're free to marry safely okay.' Bellatrix reasoned.

Hermione looked down at her breakfast, avoiding the pleading look in her love's eyes at all costs.

'What if we get married sooner?' Hazel eyes slowly ventured to lock with onyx.

'H?'

'We could owl those closest to us today and be married tomorrow.'

'You're mad.' The dark witch laughed.

'Really mad.' The brunette sighed to herself as she linked her arm through Minerva McGonagall's.

'I just want to say how happy I am for you Hermione.' Her friend's Scottish accent rang through her ears. Hermione glanced up to see tears shining in emerald eyes.

'I must thank you Min, for everything you have done for us.'

'It was my pleasure.' Smiling fondly Minerva took a step forwards with the young witch. 'Lets get you married.'

Bellatrix Black felt her heart flutter as her young love walked towards her. The brunette had her hair in a tidy up-do, a short white dress that clung to her breasts and hips before flaring slightly at the bottom, coming to an end at the top of her knees. Bellatrix had let her curls fall freely, framing her face. Her own dress was longer than the brunette's, reaching the floor but it still hugged her curves nicely. showing off her marvellous body. They had chosen to marry on the beach close to their home with their closest friends and family. There was no fighting the grin that spread across her features as the young brunette reached her, automatically linking their fingers together.

Hermione felt tears stinging her eyes as she beamed at her love. Tears of happiness and love as the dark witch promised to spend her entire life loving her. A promise she wholeheartedly returned. Their vows were simple but honest. Their love eternal and everlasting as their lips collided passionately. Bellatrix pulled back and stroked Hermione's cheek.

'My wife.' She whispered, her voice laced with love.

The two witches couldn't have been happier. Their wedding was perfect in every way. They celebrated with their loved ones. Celebrated their love and happiness. Dancing, laughing and loving. Even Harry and Ron couldn't deny the warm feeling they had while watching the witch's union. Hermione smiled to herself as she thought of her wife.

'Lets go.' The dark witch whispered breathlessly in her ear before disapparating them.

Bellatrix's lips sought out as much skin as they could find. Licking and sucking all she could while her wife became breathless.

Both dresses were discarded almost immediately and hands explored every inch of newly revealed flesh.

Bellatrix let her hands wander up the inside of her young wife's thigh while her tongue flicked against a hard nipple. Neither woman were in the mood for teasing, they were desperate for each other. Bellatrix let her finger gently brush against her love's centre, relishing the soft gasp that escaped the brunette's mouth. Her own mouth continued to explore, sucking and biting at the soft skin if the girl's stomach.

'Bella... Please.'

The sound of her wife pleading her name with such need drove the dark witch insane. Smirking to herself she paused before deeply slipping two fingers inside of her lover's pussy. Her tongue eagerly flicked at her bundle of nerves while the brunette writhed beneath her. Bellatrix slid her free hand underneath the brunette, lifting her off of the bed slightly and giving her more access to her love's sweet centre. The dark witch continued to render her wife speechless. Driving into her while her skilled mouth encased her throbbing clit. The dark witch could feel her love start to tense, her insides quivering around her fingers.

Moaning loudly the brunette slid her hands into dark curls, holding her wife in place while her hips bucked. The dark witch held her wife tightly when her climax hit. Letting her ride out her pleasure while watching her in awe. Her lips melting with those belonging to the brunette before she whispered against them.

'I love you Mrs Black.'

Lucius growled as he read the note his soon to be ex wife left for him. Bellatrix and the mudblood were married yesterday, making his original plan completely useless. A smirk began to form on his features. Thank Merlin for plan B. The sound of laughter broke him from his own thoughts as his smirk seemed to grow. The newlyweds had arrived. Chuckling to himself the blonde wizard gripped his wand and headed for the stairs.

Hermione could swear she was floating. It wasn't at all possible for someone to be this happy.

'My darlings! I am so happy for you.'

Both witches grinned even as Druella Black insisted on hugging them tightly and showering them with kisses.

'Let them breathe mother.' Narcissa and Andromeda laughed as their mother finally stepped away from the couple.

'Well isn't this lovely.'

Bellatrix growled at the sound of Lucius' voice. All eyes turned to the staircase where the blonde wizard was slowly descending.

'What do you want Lucius?' Narcissa spoke, trying to prevent any type of conflict.

'I just came to offer my congratulations to the... Happy couple.' The man drawled while his gaze pierced the newlyweds.

'Great. Now leave.' Bellatrix growled.

'Im afraid there's one more thing.'

Before anyone could respond the room was plunged into darkness. Bellatrix flung herself around her young wife, desperate to protect her. A sudden movement to her left caught her attention as she spotted Lucius' figure crossing the room. Grabbing her wand she spun only to be hit in the back. Her body fell to the floor, her eyes open still seeing everything around her. The dark witch was relentless trying to fight the body binding curse that had hit her when the lights came back on. Her heart dropped as she saw the blonde wizard stood over her wife, his wand aimed at her chest.

'Why are you doing this?' The dark witch barely recognised the voice of Andromeda over the sound of her heart beat.

'She ruined my life so it's only fair she receives the same treatment.' Lucius snarled.

'You won't get away with this. You know her, she won't stop until you beg her to end your pathetic little life.' Narcissa glared at her husband, hatred burning in her eyes.

'I don't see how any of you can stop me.' The wizard laughed as he flicked his wand, tightening the ropes that bound them.

Turning his attention back to the young brunette he sneered down at her.

'Game over mudblood.'

Druella Black struggled tirelessly against the ropes binding her. Desperate to reach her new daughter in law and get her from harms way. Her stomach dropped as the wizard's lips moved.

Bellatrix felt her heart stop beating as a green flash filled the room. Tears sprang to her eyes as she stared at the lifeless body on the floor. Everything blurred around her, the spell binding her lifted but her body stayed limp on the floor. She didn't notice how her baby sister hexed the blonde wizard into oblivion. Her eyes ablaze with fury as she bound him.

Gentle hands cupped her face.

'Bella...'

Onyx eyes finally moved from the body on the floor to lock on hazel.

'Little lion.' The dark witch's voice was hoarse and broken.

'Im so sorry.' The brunette whispered as she wiped the tears from her love's face. The sight of her wife seemed to break the dark witch from her daze as she moved across the room.

Bellatrix cried quietly as she knelt by the still body of her mother. Her dazzling blue eyes seemed faded, a hint of determination still etched on her face. Shakily the dark witch closed her mother's eyelids.

'Be-Bella?' Narcissa's broken whisper penetrated the deafening silence.

'Is... She g-gone?'

The dark witch turned her head to face her youngest sister, tears streaming down her cheeks.

'Oh-Merlin!' The blonde witch sobbed as she collapsed to the floor. Anromeda wrapped her arms around her sister's shaking frame, holding her closely.

'I've sent my patronus to Dora. She's on her way with a team of Aurors.' The brunette stated softly, grief evident in her voice.

Hermione let her own tears fall freely as she clutched her wife desperately. Her head buried in the crook of her neck as she continued to stroke her cheek gently.

Not knowing what to say the brunette kissed her love's neck and continued to hold onto her.

Hermione and Bellatrix stayed wrapped up in each other for hours. Druella's body was taken to St Mungo's until further arrangements were made. The dark witch hadn't uttered a word since the incident and the young Gryffindor's heart was broken for her wife.

Lucius had been taken to Azkaban immediately and was unlikely to see the light of day again. Hermione had carefully told the dark witch that he wouldn't be able to hurt them again but Bellatrix remained silent. The brunette silently led her wife to bed were she lay next to her. Entangling their bodies and continuing to comfort the dark witch.

'I- I love you Hermione.' Bellatrix husked. Her voice low and weak.

'I know Bella, I love you too.' The brunette softly kissed her wife's lips before laying her head against her chest.
