As Kingsley and Hermione re-entered the room, the congregation silenced. All of them wanted to see what the Minister wanted; many wanted to know just what an 18 year old student would want with keeping a convicted killer such as Bellatrix out of prison.
"May I have your attention, please?" Kingsley said, all eyes and ears focussing on him as Hermione retook her seat. "Many of you in the public stand would enjoy seeing a convicted killer, or maybe three, locked up. That may have been how things were run in the old Ministry, but now the circumstances are different. Today, we take the first step into the future.
As Minister of Magic, I propose that the defendants, including Miss Black, be released under the condition that they are monitored by a member of the Ministry on a regular basis. Each defendant is to be given a case worker, who will be reported to and will be available for sessions should the need arise. Anyone who disobeys the terms of their parole will surrender their freedom and be sentenced to serve their remaining sentences in Azkaban Prison."
Bella glanced over to Hermione, who gave her a barely visible wink in reply.
"Minister, are you sure that this is a wise decision to let these, these killers, out on the streets again?" the Undersecretary said quietly to Kingsley. "What did the girl tell you, to give her a chance?"
"Yes, actually she did." The Undersecretary was shocked to say the least, but she still did not agree.
"All in favour of this motion; raise your hands;" Kingsley announced, and a large portion of the Council did so. After a quick count, he ushered their hands down. "All opposed;" the Undersecretary's hand shot up, to the annoyance of Bellatrix and Kingsley alike, along with a couple of other hands. He took another count, then ushered them down once more. "The 'ayes' have it; all defendants are to be released under parole as per my specifications." Bellatrix couldn't believe her ears; she was free at last, albeit under parole but still, freedom! She looked at Hermione and saw that she was crying with joy alongside her friends.
As the congregation started to exit the courtroom, the Undersecretary made a beeline for Kingsley, who had headed towards Hermione. "How can you let a convicted killer out like this?" she spat at the two of them.
"Why do you so desperately want to see her in prison?" Hermione countered, knowing this would elicit a reaction.
"She is a criminal, yet a single makeover and a smart dress and you think she is reformed? What proof do you have that she cares about anyone other than herself?"
"She saved my life." Hermione stared at this woman, this Ministry official; she knew that she hated Bellatrix, so she had to prove her worth. "A few weeks ago, I was severely injured when a building spontaneously collapsed on top of me. She was one of the ones who helped to rescue me from the rubble. She gave blood to keep me alive. Think about it, a 'Pure Blood' fanatic donates blood to a 'Mudblood' like me. She has changed so much; you're just too blind to see."
The Undersecretary was at a loss for words, all she could do was mutter a simple apology before hurriedly fleeing. Hermione simply thanked the Minister for his reconsideration and left alongside her friends.
"Hermione, can you wait up a minute?" Ginny shouted as she ran over to the fireplace where Hermione and Bella were ready to use the Floo Network.
"Sure, Gin. What's up?" Hermione replied.
"I have something I want to tell you, and I need some privacy to say it, specifically from them." She gestured to her parents a few metres away. "Do you mind if I come with you?"
Hermione looked at Bella, who nodded her permission. "Sure, come on." The trio Apparated back to Black Manor, where Bella immediately darted for the bathroom for a much needed cooldown shower. This gave the teens some much needed privacy. "So, what was it you wanted to say?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I was having some stomach pains earlier this morning, and I didn't think much of it until the trial; during the interim, I went to the bathroom and did a little test. It was positive." She let it sink in before revealing the sucker punch:
"Hermione, I'm pregnant!"
The brunette teen was shocked as well as overjoyed at the announcement. "Oh my God, Ginny! I'm so happy for you! Who is the father?" Immediately, Ginny's face fell, her eyes watering, voice trembling, so much so she could only manage a whisper.
"Harry."
Hermione could only hug her friend tightly, her child would grow up never knowing their father, and she had to help Ginny remain strong. However, something in Ginny's purse caught her eye. Naturally, her curiosity got the better of her.
"Ginny, how did you perform the test?" Ginny dried her eyes and pulled out a small card, emblazoned on it was the word 'pregnant'.
"The card identifies verbal symptoms, you say what the symptoms are, and it scans you and comes back with a result. Mum used them when we tried to skive off doing chores. They are highly accurate, really good at determining what is affecting you." Ginny passed the card to Hermione, and the word disappeared into magical dust.
"The reason I asked was that I thought you had done a pregnancy kit, like the ones Muggles use." When Ginny's face drew a blank, she left the point alone and continued on. "I wasn't feeling alright either this morning, but I just put it down to bad food last night." As she said this, the card in her hand illuminated and started to faintly glow. When it was finished, it had the same word as before on it. "Gin, you said this was accurate right, so why is it saying that I'm pregnant too?"
Ginny glanced at the card, and looked almost as confused as her friend. "Try this, name another symptom to double check; has your period been late recently?"
"Yeah, it has," Hermione confirmed, causing the card to respond again, confirming its prior evaluation. "I don't believe it!"
"Neither can I, we're both pregnant!" Ginny was jumping for joy, Hermione however was trying to figure out how she was pregnant.
"How can I be pregnant? When I gave Bella her, her 'equipment', I made sure it was sterile…" Hermione suddenly dashed to the bathroom, Ginny close behind.
"Bella, come out now, I need you to tell me something." Hermione yelled through the door. She heard the shower turn off and the sounds of a towel being donned before the door was unlocked.
"Couldn't wait for me to get out could you?" Bella joked, before noticing Hermione's look of shock on her face. "Okay, tough hallway. Alright, what is it?"
"Did you alter the charm on your dildo by any chance?" Hermione asked sternly, foregoing euphemisms in front of their guest.
"Oh. OH!" Bella realised what she was insinuating and immediately started beaming. "The only reason you would be asking is if it worked. You're pregnant!" While she was delighted, Hermione was still glaring at her. "Alright, I asked Tom to remove the charm from it. I wanted to have a child, someone who I wanted to watch grow up, and I wanted it with you."
"You should have told me, Bella." Hermione responded. "If you did, I would have removed the charm myself." Now both Ginny and Bella were confused. "As it happens, your parole starts now; you will be punished accordingly for your actions." She held her hand up, and a blue light enveloped Bellatrix; her wrists were bound above her head, her ankles were bound too and she was levitating in the air. "Come on Ginny, let's have some fun to celebrate our pregnancies." Ginny saw Hermione's eyes, and a wicked smile crossed her face.
Ginny and Bellatrix were led down to the dungeon area were Hermione was first brought. Hermione bound Bella to a wooden rack, before dressing her nude vulnerable body with adornments such as nipple clips, ropes and chains; each application designed to tease and elicit a response. She had also been gagged, so could only muffle her responses.
Hermione and Ginny returned to the room, carrying with them a box of 'toys' for the teens to play with. "I think that we should get started, right Gin?"
"Certainly, Hermione," Ginny replied, removing her top and bra, before tossing them to the side of the dungeon. "I must say, your girlfriend is really making me horny, you don't mind if we share her tonight?" she said seductively, walking over and playing with Bella's youthful tits.
"Not at all, Gin;" Hermione replied, also shedding her dress, but also removing her panties as well as her bra, leaving her completely nude.
"Babe, my hands are full at the moment, could you scratch an itch?" she said back in between fondling Bella's nipples and sucking on them.
Bella could only watch as Hermione slinked over to Ginny, dropped to her knees and slowly pulled Ginny's panties off with her teeth. When the panties were sufficiently lowered, Ginny stepped out of them, and spread her legs wide enough so that Hermione could 'scratch her itch' – with her tongue; Hermione proceeded to tongue fuck Ginny while Ginny played with Bella. Eventually, Ginny started to notice that Bella's cock had emerged, so she decided to tease that next, slowly licking up and down the shaft while being eaten out by Hermione.
After 5 minutes, Hermione moved Bella into a flat position, on her back; still bound to the rack. While Ginny was still teasing Bella's cock, Hermione rummaged through the toys until she found the one she wanted. "Gin, remove the convict's gag," Hermione ordered, to the mock affirmation from Warden Weasley. As Bella stretched her jaw, she saw what was about to replace it: an oral strap on. Hermione strapped the silver dildo to Bella's face, leaving her somewhat two pronged.
"My turn with the dildo," Ginny said, as she left Bella's erect cock and left to attend to her face instead. Hermione resumed the offensive on Bella's cock, starting off by sucking on it like an ice lolly. Ginny meanwhile was gently kissing Bella's cheek, stroking its smoothness. "You know, you look so beautiful as a 19-year old," she whispered before starting to suck on the dildo protruding from Bella's face whilst massaging her nipples once more. She glanced over to Hermione, who winked. The trio were suddenly levitated onto a bed, Della was still bound, but now she was more comfortable. The two teens stopped sucking on their designated cocks, and climbed on top of Bellatrix, ready to mount.
"Ready?" Hermione asked, and the two plunged onto their respective cocks, riding the woman below them like a bucking bronco. They leaned inwards and started to kiss each other, each woman in the threesome being pleasured in some form or another. The orgy finally peaked when Bella madly started to thrust into the pair, along with the sounds of a muffled orgasm.
"I'M COMING!" cried Hermione, just as Ginny confirmed her imminent orgasm too. The three rode out their orgasms, before collapsing onto the bed. Hermione removed the bindings from Bella, and took out the dildo. "We should do this more often…"
"You know," Bella said as she cuddled the two teens beside her, "when I woke up this morning, I never expected this."
"Well, I think we have plenty more time ahead of us tonight…" Ginny smirked.
A flash of grins from her girlfriends, and round two was underway.
