Hours passed by before Hermione moved for the first time. She didn't react at all to Luna cleaning her. She kept still, curled up, sobbing.
Luna didn't mind cleaning Hermione, but as she was cleaning the sweat off of Hermione, she had to taste a lot of her blood as well, which she didn't find pleasant at all.
She spent hours just sitting by Hermione, caressing her, not saying a word. She knew no words would improve the state Hermione was in.
...
Eventually, Luna helped Hermione get on top of the mattress, though Luna basically had to drag and carry her, as Hermione didn't show any effort to move on her own.
Luna cuddled up to Hermione in an effort to keep her warm, though Luna's own body was also cold.
"Everything will be okay..." Luna whispered softly. "You will get better... You will get used to it... Maybe... one day we will get rescued? Who knows...?
It was surprising to hear Luna say such words, from the start it was she who didn't seem to maintain any glimmer of hope. But maybe Luna found the strength when Hermione was at her lowest.
"No..." Hermione spoke for the first time in hours. "N-nothing will be okay..: I'm just a w-whore now... Madame L-Lestrange's pet... And that's okay... A filthy m-mudblood like me d-deserves it..." She whimpered.
Luna frowned but didn't try to fight Hermione's words. She felt melancholic knowing that Bellatrix managed to break Hermione at last. She remembered telling Hermione that she should just submit, not fight against Bellatrix, and lose her stubbornness, but she refused to do so. Because of that, Bellatrix made Hermione submit with unbearable cruelty and force. On the other hand, Luna spent a lot less time fighting and more time admitting to herself that this was her life now, her place as Bellatrix's thing to toy with. Bellatrix was still cruel to her, Bellatrix didn't know anything else, and even if she did, Bellatrix would never be kind to a blood traitor or mudblood. Nonetheless, by submitting so quickly, Luna was spared restrictions such as Hermione's collar, nor did Luna have to endure so much torture just to submit, and thus Bellatrix didn't have to break her mind just to achieve that. She was still free to think almost anything she wanted. She just couldn't think about anything negative in relation to Bellatrix. Luna usually didn't think much of anything anyway... Until Hermione was at her lowest.
Luna was still happy that Hermione didn't get to experience the closet, or the golden snitch for that matter. She wasn't sure why Bellatrix never used it on Hermione, Luna was sure that the closet would break her friend immediately. But she was also sure that if Hermione still showed any signs of resistance after all of this, Bellatrix would definitely use the closet. After observing Hermione for several hours now, Luna was sure there was no resistance left, she just saw a broken soul, a shattered spirit.
"Everything will be easier now... I think..." Luna followed in an attempt to console her.
Hermione only sniffled, without reply.
Luna gently ran her fingers through Hermione's messy, damaged, greasy hair.
"I will try to take care of you... I hope it's okay... I wouldn't want to upset you." Luna said hesitantly. It was interesting how the tables have turned. In the beginning, it was Hermione who wanted to save and protect Luna, now Luna had the same intention, though in her own way.
Hermione didn't say anything again, she only had Bellatrix in her head, and she was the only thing she desperately tried to think about.
Luna had an idea on how to save or at least help Hermione, but it would be a slow process, and she couldn't start right now, Hermione deserved to just rest for now. Luna hugged Hermione even tighter. Hermione grimaced and hissed slightly as Luna pressed against her wounds. but she didn't complain and Luna didn't notice.
Silence spread throughout the room, interrupted only by Hermione's occasional sobs and whimpers. Luna got somewhat comfortable and even managed to fall asleep.
For Hermione, it took a lot more. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Bellatrix torturing her, raping her, humiliating her, hurting her in every way possible. She couldn't think the thoughts that would usually help her fall asleep. All she could think about was how grateful she was for Bellatrix for showing her where she belonged. She couldn't manage to fall asleep on her own, but eventually, she passed out because of extreme exhaustion.
***
*Two weeks later*
***
Bellatrix's arrivals were a lot scarcer as of late. Once Hermione was broken, Bellatrix didn't seem as excited to torture her as before. Luna thought that wasn't the reason why Bellatrix barely showed herself, anytime she appeared, she seemed in a hurry, always stressed but also strangely excited. There were sparks of fire in her eyes. She used to toy with them, but now she only meant business when she came into their prison. She gave them some leftover, moldy food, played with them a little bit, and then left again. There were days when Bellatrix didn't show up at all. Or at least Luna thought they were days, realistically she had no idea, but it was always a very long time. Bellatrix not showing up for days wasn't anything new for Luna, it happened to her before, she knew that Bellatrix would sometimes grow bored of her after having her in captivity for months, but it was unusual since Hermione was here. Bellatrix would never talk about what was happening on the outside of the walls they were confined to, and the girls would obviously never ask, especially not Hermione who was physically unable to.
Luna felt like something big was happening on the outside, something that would change everything. She didn't like thinking about it though, in case Bellatrix was listening. Luna got shocked a few times for feeling ever so slightly uncomfortable for having to worry about both Bellatrix and wrackspurts in her brain.
Luna had to watch pretty much helplessly as Hermione would slowly lose her mind. She would often have mental breakdowns, especially whenever the collar would shock her over and over again and she would be unable to stop thinking about whatever she was thinking about.
Hermione barely talked, she became very docile toward Bellatrix. She obeyed all of her commands without question or hesitation. She would obey orders faster than Luna at times. And it wasn't just in front of Bellatrix, the collar forced her to truly believe that she was inferior to Bellatrix, and that she didn't deserve anything better as a muggleborn. Luna wasn't sure if she was just saying all of those things so that she wouldn't get shocked, or if she really believed it now, nonetheless, Luna didn't remember that Hermione would ever get shocked in the last few days. She feared that Hermione might be gone forever, however, if they were to never be rescued, maybe it was for the better.
...
Luna was crawling on the floor. She was moving her hips from side to side seductively and smirking, she seemed almost content. She had bruises all over her body, mostly her butt, breasts and knees. She was trying to hide the pain that she was feeling when she crawled on her knees. Despite the pain, she was smiling.
She was going in circles around the middle of the room. She was circling someone.
That someone was... Hermione.
Hermione was standing in the middle of the room, arms crossed, with a slight frown glancing at Luna as she was crawling around her.
"I r-really don't know, Luna..." Hermione said quietly.
Luna was desperately trying to help Hermione, get her to keep her own sanity. And this was the only way she thought of, that would hopefully remain harmless to both of them. She thought that if Hermione had the feeling of having power over someone else. If she had someone else that she would give orders to, Hermione would feel better.
Hermione had nothing but despair, and pain in here, and was only allowed to be submissive... a pet to Bellatrix; her property. Luna really thought that this way, Hermione would be able to get better, but she has been refusing to budge for a few days now.
Luna wanted to give her that power over her. Luna was ready to do anything for Hermione, especially knowing Hermione would never ask or do anything nearly as sadistic or cruel as Bellatrix. She also figured that the collar wouldn't shock Hermione as she was still just thinking about this place and nothing else. The only risk was that Bellatrix might not like it, and Luna risked a lot when she tried this for the first time, but Bellatrix had already visited them after Luna started doing this, and Bellatrix either didn't care or didn't know, it was more than likely that she just didn't care, she never even mentioned it.
"Mistress, please... May I serve you?" Luna stopped and looked up at Hermione with a hopeful spark in her eye. Calling Hermione a 'Mistress' came naturally to her. Her voice was as dreamy and silky as ever, but there was a bit of cheekiness hidden behind it. Hermione glanced at Luna again, and this time smirked ever so slightly before looking away.
Luna's heart was pounding. Hermione had never smirked before. Not like that. She knew she had to keep pushing.
"I will do whatever you say... You will feel better, I promise..." Luna purred. She didn't want to initiate anything without Hermione's consent. She wanted Hermione to feel in control of everything that would happen, the only thing that she did without Hermione's consent was trying to seduce her, but Luna considered that the necessary evil.
They haven't had sex on their own since that terrible day when Bellatrix broke Hermione. Bellatrix still forced them to, but they never felt as much pleasure as when they did it on their own accord.
Hermione was trying to think about it, but it was hard to think. At every thought, she was terrified that she was going to receive a shock, so all her thoughts were always replaced with her admiration of Bellatrix or self-degrading insults. She wasn't even doing it on purpose anymore, it was an instinct not to get shocked. The shocks were so powerful, that at certain points she wished that she would just pass out or even die.
"Don't be afraid... I believe you won't get shocked... I know you are scared... B-but... I've heard them again... After such a long time... The Nargles; they told me, not to worry... If they lied, I would be very mad at them, and I will be very sorry..." Luna had her eyes wide open and swiftly looked around as if she was checking the corners of the room for creatures.
Hermione smiled briefly when Luna mentioned Nargles after such a long time. Her quirkiness hasn't been showing a lot. Hermione thought that it was possible that Bellatrix tortured the eccentricity out of her.
"Take me... Mistress... Take me, and do whatever you want to me..." Luna continued.
Hermione wasn't sure what she thought about the situation even when she allowed herself some thoughts. It's true that Hermione liked to be in control of things, and she lost that privilege what felt like an eternity ago. But why would she want to be in control of who was now her dearest friend?
Would it hurt to try? Maybe? Definitely, if the collar doesn't like it. Hermione thought about it and immediately grimaced as she expected another shock... It didn't happen.
And why was Luna even offering herself up to such a position? Why would she do it willingly?
"I really wouldn't mind if you decided to order me around... You don't have to... But I think I would like it, even..." Luna smirked at Hermione again.
Luna knelt in front of Hermione and waited. There was silence. Luna held her breath.
Hermione finally made eye contact with Luna without looking away immediately. She inhaled as deeply as her lungs allowed her to, then sighed.
Will Hermione take the leap of faith?
I will. Hermione answered that question in her head.
"Alright, then..." Hermione mumbled quietly enough that Luna barely even heard it.
"Do you really want to me serve... me?" Hermione found the idea of someone wanting to be submissive to her absurd. Especially after she was destroyed so much by Bellatrix, and the person who was there to witness it, was the one wanting to be subservient.
With every new thought and word, Hermione was hesitant and always conscious of her collar.
"Yes! Yes! With all my heart!" Luna wiggled excitedly.
Hermione had a confused expression on her face for a few seconds. She had never seen her this excited in here.
Luna was more excited about the fact that Hermione was finally letting her in, allowing her to help, but she couldn't deny that she really wanted to know what it was like to be submissive toward someone like Hermione. Someone who actually liked her.
"What do you want me to do? I will do anything you say!" Luna followed after Hermione's brief silence.
As Hermione had never done this before, she mostly thought about ideas that came from Bellatrix. From things that Bellatrix did to them.
"S-start by k-kissing my feet." Hermione felt stupid, her tone being so anxious, and nervous, ordering someone around. But to her own surprise, she still didn't receive a single shock.
Luna didn't hesitate for a second, she immediately got back on all fours, and since she was already so close to Hermione, all she had to do was bend down, and start kissing Hermione's left foot.
Hermione's entire body immediately started buzzing, she felt butterflies in her stomach, and her skin was overcome with warmth.
Luna felt the exact same things, except her heart was even more excited. She kissed Hermione's foot passionately, attentively, with a genuine desire to serve Hermione.
Hermione knew right away then, what Luna meant by helping her. She already felt better than she felt in ages. She didn't expect it, but she found it hot... sexy.
Luna noticed it. She noticed the immediate change in Hermione's body, even though she barely let out a sound or barely moved. She could just feel like Hermione's body and soul were recharging. Filled with a new magical spark.
Luna had no intention of ever stopping. Unless Hermione told her to.
...
"N-now my other foot. Please..." Once again, Hermione felt stupid, maybe even more than before, for saying 'please', when she was supposed to be ordering Luna around.
Luna didn't think much of it, she just grinned as she moved over slightly, and started kissing Hermione's other foot with the same level of attention.
Hermione looked down at Luna with uncertainty, but as she was watching Luna doing everything in her power to please her, and watching Luna's cute, wiggling butt, that uncertainty was slowly but surely disappearing.
The touch of Luna's lips on her feet felt extremely calming and satisfying to Hermione.
"Kiss my thighs now..." Hermione's voice sounded a lot calmer now and even slightly more assertive.
Luna happily got up on her knees, glanced up at Hermione seductively, and then proceeded to gently kiss Hermione's sensitive thighs.
As the kisses were gracefully landing on her thighs, that alone made Hermione moan quietly. Her thighs were so sensitive, and now Luna was sending them to paradise. Luna's touch was heavenly too, albeit her hands were cold. Hermione kept her legs spread so that Luna had enough space.
Luna ran her fingers across Hermione's thighs. They were very smooth, taking into consideration that Hermione's skin was quite dry. They ought to be, Luna shaved them yesterday. Despite being in so much dirt, and neglect, Bellatrix was still very strict on them being fully shaven. Bellatrix would punish them if she found hair longer than a speck anywhere on their bodies, excluding their heads.
"Ohhh... Let's get on the bed, stand up..." Hermione's voice was quivering.
Luna stood up, and Hermione immediately grabbed her by the shoulders and started pushing her toward the mattress. Firmly but gently she pushed Luna over on the bed, making her fall on her back.
Hermione immediately crawled onto the bed and on top of Luna. Gently grabbing her neck, she forced a kiss.
Luna moaned softly into Hermione's mouth. She missed making love with Hermione so much.
Neither of the girls smelled nice, if someone who had never been to this room before entered this place, the smell, and their scent would be unbearable but their senses were desensitized. They could only smell the lust they had for each other. The warmth of each other's breath and bodies. It felt like even the moans had a sweet fragrance to them.
Luna also observed Hermione's body from below. They both got slightly skinnier than before, especially since Luna was already in a bad state because of her months in captivity. Hermione's body was also more bruised and scarred than even her own. It filled Luna with sadness because it only showed how much more Bellatrix hated muggleborns even over blood traitors. Or maybe she just hated Hermione more in particular.
However, Luna didn't want to stay fixated on Hermione's flaws that weren't even her fault. She wanted to focus on her perfection. And in Luna's mind, Hermione's entire being was still perfection.
Hermione kissed Luna on the lips, the kisses were fervent. Hermione swung in for kisses as fast as she pulled away. She was in charge, and she decided when her lips connected with Luna's.
Luna found this extremely arousing, with Hermione's hand still firmly around her neck, she could feel herself getting incredibly wet.
Hermione shifted down to Luna's neck and started kissing it just as ardently. Luna arched her back as much as Hermione's weight on top of her allowed her, and threw her head back. Luna couldn't wait for Hermione's next move.
Hermione straddled over Luna and looked her in the eyes. Luna giggled, and Hermione grinned back at her.
Hermione couldn't believe it. She felt like a different person. And all of it was apparently still within what she was allowed to do or think. Either that or the collar stopped working, but she didn't want to test it. She just kept thinking about very specific things about her being in this room.
Hermione reached for Luna's nipples with a cheeky smile and pinched them. Luna closed her eyes and moaned. Hermione didn't pinch them too harshly, it was just the right amount of pressure so that it would hurt slightly, but it only made Luna hornier. Hermione squeezed Luna's nipples, enjoying all the facial expressions she was making.
"Are you enjoying this?" Hermione whispered sensually.
"Very much! Oh... wow..." Luna whimpered as Hermione pinched her nipples again.
Hermione giggled as she turned around, still straddled over Luna, but this time, her back was facing Luna's face. She slowly and teasingly moved her butt across Luna's chest toward her mouth.
Luna had a sense of what was coming and it was exciting.
"We're going to make each other orgasm... But you won't do it before me, okay?" Hermione said softly, there wasn't any indication of threat in her tone.
"I understand..." Luna moaned happily.
Hermione sat down on Luna's face and bent down to her pussy. Hermione could see that Luna's pussy was twitching with excitement.
"Can you breathe?" Hermione asked.
"Mhmmm..." Luna's tone seemed content, and so Hermione took it as a 'Yes'.
Luna had her mouth full of Hermione's pussy but she could just barely breathe with her nose, and she didn't mind that.
"Start licking then... I will return the favor..." Hermione said cheekily. Even Luna couldn't believe how confident Hermione's tone was. "But remember... No cumming before me. And if you are about to cum too soon, warn me, okay?" Hermione still kept her voice very friendly.
Soon, Hermione could feel Luna's tongue buried deep inside her pussy. Luna didn't really have any other choice than to go deep. Once Hermione felt Luna's tongue swirling around inside her hole, she started gently licking Luna's clitoris.
They both had different approaches. Hermione was playful, teasing Luna's clitoris, while also rubbing her pussy, occasionally sticking her fingers inside and fingering her for a bit. On the other side, Luna was putting in hard work, she moved her tongue up and down, side to side, in circles, all of that at a high speed.
Luna was in bliss, it felt like her entire world at that moment was Hermione's pussy, and her entire meaning of life was to please it. Taste all the juices that would come out. She wouldn't care if she had to spend an entire day buried under Hermione's butt.
Hermione smiled and grinned, feeling the effort Luna was putting in, and started moaning softly. She realized she needed to stop teasing and start making Luna cum as well, she wanted to edge her before her own orgasm.
With that, Hermione lowered her head and started licking at a similar speed to Luna's, while also fingering her. That was an advantage Luna couldn't get.
Both girls were moaning louder and louder.
"Ohhhhhh!!! Ohhhhhhh!!! Can you- ohhh!!! can you still breathe??? OHhhhhhhh!!!" Hermione asked in between moans.
"Mmmmmmmm!!! Ohmmmmm!!! Mhmnmmm!!! Ahmmmmmm!!! Mmmmmmmmmmm!!!" Luna's muffled moans, though more hectic and excited, still didn't sound like Luna would be panicking, so Hermione assumed that Luna was safe.
Luna's mouth was being filled with Hermione's juices, while Hermione was tasting all of Luna's delicacies at her own pace.
As Hermione was getting closer, and closer to an orgasm. She suddenly heard a panicked scream and intensive tapping on her thigh.
Hermione's first instinct was to immediately get up because she thought that Luna was suffocating, but instead, she overcame her instricts and asked: "Do you want to have an orgasm???"
"Mhmmmmm!!!" Luna's muffled moan was desperately horny.
Hermione knew the tone and Luna wasn't in danger.
"No, Luna... Not yet... I haven't orgasmed yet, you know the rules!" Hermione responded playfully as she stopped licking Luna's pussy and instead started lightly slapping it.
Luna moaned in frustration but continued licking Hermione's pussy attentively.
"Ohhhhhh!!! Ohhhhhhh!!! Ohhhhhhhhh!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Yes, Luna! That feels amazing!!! Lick my pussy!!! Yes!!! Oh, yes!!! Oh my god!!! Ohhhhhhh!!! Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Hermione knew that she was about to cum, so she switched from slapping Luna's pussy to fingering it again. They both moaned in unison, the only reason Hermione's moans were much louder was because Luna's moans were muffled for the most part.
...
As Hermione exploded with an ecstatic orgasm, she struggled to keep fingering Luna but didn't stop. She fingered her until her forearm was hurting. Hermione could feel Luna scream into her pussy just a few seconds later, and it was obvious she also orgasmed. They both panted intensely, their sweaty bodies sticking to each other, Hermione let herself fall onto Luna's body, her head landing on Luna's thigh, she shifted slightly, freeing Luna's mouth, who was now still moaning and whimpering loudly.
Hermione rested on top of Luna for a while before finally rolling over and turning around to face her again. She was now lying next to her, gently running her fingers across Luna's chest. She waited patiently until Luna calmed down a bit, and rested. Admittedly she also needed some rest.
"I think... That you've been so good... That you deserve one more orgasm... hmmm?" Hermione said teasingly with a grin.
"Thank you, Mistress..." Luna replied innocently.
"Turn around... and get on all fours..." Hermione whispered into Luna's ear.
Luna didn't hesitate and turned around on her belly and then got up on her hands and knees.
"Spread your legs a little for me..." Hermione didn't have to wait long as Luna shifted her knees apart.
Hermione sat on her knees next to Luna at her side. With one arm, she reached in, grabbed a handful of Luna's hair, and pulled slightly, making Luna arch her back. Luna moaned but it didn't hurt too much.
Hermione leaned into Luna's ear: "I want you to ask me before you can cum, okay?"
Luna nodded. "Yes, Mistress..."
Both Luna and Hermione were surprised at how natural the dominance was to her. Though, for the most part, Hermione still only copied what she learned from observing Bellatrix, she just wasn't full of disdain and hate toward Luna, and really tried to be gentle while also assertive.
Hermione pulled on Luna's hair a little harder, causing her to moan again.
"Shhhh..." Hermione silenced her as she took her other hand and started softly rubbing Luna's clit.
"Do you want this...?" Hermione asked teasingly.
"Mhmm..." Luna moaned desperately.
"Do you want to feel my fingers inside your pussy, hmmm???" Hermione teased further by sliding two of her fingers into Luna's pussy but stopping at the very edge.
"Mhmmmm... Yes, Mistress!" Luna moaned even louder.
It felt strange to be called a Mistress for Hermione. She still had to think about what she really was... Even though this was helping her immensely, she couldn't forget about what was carved in her belly, and what Bellatrix constantly reminded her she was. And what she had to remind herself as well. She frowned for a little bit but then continued.
Sliding her two fingers deeper, Luna moaned needily.
"Get ready then..." Hermione made sure she was holding Luna's hair properly and then started fingering her. She wanted to make Luna orgasm really fast, and so, once the teasing was over, she didn't start slow, she fingered Luna relentlessly from the very start, and it didn't take long for Luna to start moaning.
Luna's body squirmed and her butt wiggled, giving Hermione a sensational view. She smiled as she could feel how wet Luna was.
Luna's loud moans and wet squelching sounds were the only noises spreading through the room.
"Ahh! Ahhhh!!! Ahhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhhhh! Can I cum??? Please, Mistress! Ahhhh!!! Ahhhh!!!"
"N-not yet!" Hermione was a bit out of breath herself.
"Oh no...! Oh...! Ohhh! Ahhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhh!! Oh no.., oh no... Please, Mistress!!!" Luna whined, moaned, and begged.
"I said, not yet, Luna..." Hermione whispered playfully.
"Ahhh!!! Ahhhhh!!! Ahhhhhh!!! Ahhhhhh!!! Please!!! I have to cum!!! Please!!! Ahhhh!!! Ahhhh!!! Ahhhhhhh!!! Ahhhhh!!!" Luna screamed desperately.
Hermione smiled and kept fingering Luna without stopping, she let Luna suffer for a few seconds longer.
"You're a good girl Luna!" Hermione exclaimed. "Cum now! Give me your orgasm! Come on!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Luna's body trembled intensely, her raspy, loud screams and moans filled Hermione's heart with joy. She loved that she made Luna feel so good. She let her fingers rest inside Luna's pussy, but let go of her hair.
"Your pussy feels so warm, and wet at the same time..." Hermione complimented Luna, who smirked as a response, though Hermione couldn't see it.
Finally, Hermione pulled out her fingers, and then lustfully licked the juices off of them. Hermione swiftly slid her fingers into Luna's pussy one more time, making Luna moan out in surprise, just to get more juices on them.
"Taste yourself..." Hermione ordered as she moved closer to Luna's head, with the fingers touching Luna's lips.
Luna obediently opened her mouth and Hermione gently put her fingers inside and Luna enclosed her lips around them. Luna was sure that normally Hermione's fingers, mixed with her own juices, would taste heavenly, however, mixed with so much dirt as well, the taste really wasn't pleasant at all, nonetheless, she hid that from Hermione.
"Thank you, Mistress..." Luna said happily as Hermione pulled out her fingers.
Hermione smiled and kissed Luna lustfully.
"That's enough... Thank you, Luna... Thank you so much..." Hermione decided to end the play and was immensely grateful for Luna's efforts to make her feel better.
Luna only smirked and turned over and lay on her back.
Hermione immediately felt some of her newfound confidence going away as the euphoria was disappearing and the reality was appearing in front of her again. Still, she felt much better than before.
Hermione cuddled up against Luna and started kissing her neck softly. Luna didn't return any kisses but she hugged Hermione back.
...
After a while, they just wanted to fall asleep. They weren't all that tired, if anything they were filled with a small dose of adrenaline, but now there wasn't much else to do. There was never much else to do when Bellatrix wasn't there. They preferred sleeping. They closed their eyes and caressed each other's bodies gently and slowly. Nonetheless, they struggled to fall asleep and it took a while until their eyes felt really tired.
But just as they were about to finally fall asleep, both Luna's and Hermione's eyes opened wide as they heard a loud bang followed by fast thuds on the floor.
They both jumped out of bed. They only briefly glanced at Bellatrix's intimidating figure before Hermione immediately fell to her knees, with her open palms on her thighs, and head lowered.
Luna copied Hermione's position right next to her, although slightly slower. Neither of the girls dared to look up at Bellatrix, still as they both involuntarily glanced at her, she seemed both sressed and extremely excited.
Luna also glanced at Hermione, and she could feel that all of the hard work that she put in to make Hermione feel better was immediately put to waste. It was as if Bellatrix was siphoning Hermione's energy and soul with just her presence. She was also terrified that Bellatrix barged in so aggressively because she was about to punish them for what they had just done. Luna wouldn't forgive herself if Hermione would be punished for what she coerced her to do.
Bellatrix stopped a few steps in front of them and chuckled intensely.
"You two... I never get tired of looking at you, pathetic sluts at my feet! HA!"
The girls didn't say anything.
"I have some big news for you..." Bellatrix exclaimed excitedly.
Luna's heart began pounding even harder in unison with Hermione's. Bellatrix never talked to them about the outside world. Never. At least not in recent days or weeks.
"Your stupid friend, that annoying Harry Potter was found at Hogwarts! The Dark Lord is making a move with his entire army! He will crush that dumb castle along with everyone in it who stands in his way!"
Tears were going down both Luna's and Hermione's faces. Hermione desperately tried not to think about her friends, but when Bellatrix was talking about them, it was impossible. She screamed out intensely as the collar shocked her, making her fall over, her muscles convulsing.
Bellatrix stopped in the middle of her speech to laugh at Hermione.
"Get up! Pay attention!" She snapped at her.
With whimpers and glassy eyes, Hermione quickly sat back on her knees and assumed the position.
"Potter will inevitably die at the hands of our lord, and then there will be NOTHING stopping him from wiping the filthy mudbloods and all blood traitors off the face of the earth!" Bellatrix seemed ecstatic, there was fire blazing in her eyes. She didn't have a single doubt about her lord's victory.
"Oh, and the amount of whores like you, that I will get my hands on!" Bellatrix licked her lips and cackled. "I might not even need you soon! You are getting boring anyway!"
While Bellatrix didn't mind having two obedient pets, that let her do anything to them she wanted, or that did anything she said without hesitation, it was starting to lose its spark. Bellatrix loved craziness, she loved action. And she enjoyed the girls the most when she could break them down into her pets. But now when they were her property, it almost seemed like a pointless routine, to just feed them, torture them, and have sex with them, or force them to have sex, every day or every few days. It was tiring. Maybe she could repurpose them. Make them into her maids or some kind of furniture.
Bellatrix smiled at the thought.
"Anyway... The battle is about to commence... It will be a slaughter..." She smiled devilishly. "And I need to train so that I can murder... ideally most of your friends!" Cackling loudly, she reveled in knowing how venomous were her words to the girls.
going to have to experience it! If anything you should be thanking me!" Bellatrix exclaimed with anger.
Bellatrix adjusted her skirt dress.
"Well.. as I said... The battle is about to commence... And I need to train my dueling skills, so..." Bellatrix held her breath, watching the girls' expressions, waiting if they were going to realize. "So... I need someone to train with! And I thought... Who's better than my two stupid whores?!" She said maliciously in a high-pitched tone.
Both Luna and Hermione were still confused. Was she actually about to give them wands?
"Get up! Now!" She barked and the girls quickly obeyed. Then she changed her tone again, completely. "So... do you want to be my duel buddies???" She squeaked innocently.
Hermione, still looking at the floor, dared to oppose Bellatrix.
"B-But... We are too stupid and weak to match your combat proficiency... We won't be able to put up a fight at all..." Hermione noted as subserviently as possible, afraid that Bellatrix would immediately punish her.
Luckily for Hermione, Bellatrix liked what she said.
"HA! You are right! No, you wouldn't stand a chance against me, and training as such would be useless! But you also prove how stupid you really are... In that small brain of yours!" She cackled loudly. "Did you really think I would give you wands, and let you use spells?! No! You are going to be my training dummies!"
Both Luna and Hermione gasped in unison. Bellatrix never used random offensive spells on them just for the sake of it, maybe with very rare exceptions.
Bellatrix's grin widened when she saw the girls' shocked expressions. She took a step back.
"Stand further away from each other!"
The girls obeyed and each did two steps away from the other one. They were both trembling.
"So... who wants to go first?" Bellatrix played with her wand and raised her eyebrow.
"Me! Please, Madame Lestrange!" Hermione spoke up eagerly.
Luna gasped quietly in surprise. She really felt like she did nothing to help her friend.
"Look at you! That's what I expect from an obedient, filthy mudblood like you! Absolute eagerness to do anything for me!" Bellatrix praised Hermione's quick response. "Unlike you, blood traitor! I didn't even see you opening your mouth to beg me to use you first!" She snapped at Luna.
"I'm sorry, Madame Lestrange... Please forgive me..." Luna lowered her head as much as possible.
"Hmpf... You're lucky that I'm in a hurry, so I don't care to punish you." Bellatrix turned to Hermione again and prepared her wand. "If you try to dodge, or protect yourself in any way, you will suffer consequences, understood?! And you will always stand up, no matter what I hit you with! And look up at me!" She added.
"Yes, Madame Lestrange..." Hermione obeyed, though the only thing she hesitated with, was looking up at Bellatrix, she was too intimidating to make eye contact with.
Bellatrix knew that she would get no real training here, the whole thing was just a charade, just so that she could torture the girls once more before the battle. She couldn't use most spells on them that she would be using in the battle later anyway. Well, only if she wished to keep them, which she did for now. She had to use spells that she wouldn't cast on opponents with the intention of murdering them, so most of this practice would be useless to her anyway.
Bellatrix simply flicked her wand, and shouted: "Stupefy!"
Hermione yelped out as she was knocked back and fell over. She felt dizzy, and her whole world was turning. She was very surprised that the spell didn't knock her out, especially in her weakened state.
Bellatrix felt dirty using that spell. She barely ever used non-lethal spells like this one. She didn't remember the last time she used Stupefy in a real battle, if ever.
It took Hermione a great deal of effort to get back up. She was stumbling all over the place, and each time she tried getting up, she fell on her butt. Bellatrix chuckled each time Hermione fell over.
Bellatrix decided not to scold Hermione for taking her sweet old time, but she tapped her foot impatiently, with her hands crossed. When Hermione was finally barely able to stand. Bellatrix immediately drew her wand again.
Bellatrix proceeded to use a bunch of non-verbal spells that mostly just pushed Hermione around like a ragdoll, Bellatrix laughed hysterically the entire time.
After she had enough of that she took a deep breath and cast another verbal spell.
"Petrificus Totalus!"
Before Hermione knew it, she was frozen and fell back first on the hard floor, she could feel it knocking the air out of her, but she couldn't move at all.
Bellatrix cackled loudly as she got closer to Hermione and laughed again at her shocked expression.
"Oh, I could do so many things to you like this!" Bellatrix exclaimed. "And you wouldn't be able to do a thing about it! ... Not that you usually can!"
She left Hermione immobilized for a while, and focused on Luna instead. Her first spell cast on her was also Stupefy, which Luna managed to withstand without getting knocked out, though maybe Bellatrix was doing that on purpose.
Then she continued to mess around with Luna with identical non-verbal spells.
...
"Time for some real fun..." Bellatrix mumbled to herself happily.
"Levicorpus!" She shouted, and Luna flew up, into the air, screaming as she turned upside down and was suddenly hanging by her ankles.
Luna was flailing her arms around as she was instinctively trying to grab onto something; unsuccessfully.
Bellatrix let out another one of her laughs, as she left Luna hanging and turned to Hermione again.
"That's enough for you! ... Finite Incantatem!" She cast the spell and Hermione's movement was slowly coming back to her.
Hermione felt incredibly sore, and her back hurt, she started coughing but remembered what she was told to do, and tried to stand up immediately. She stumbled again, but this time she was able to stand up sooner.
"You two are such good training buddies!" She wasn't trying to hide her sarcasm. She smiled devilishly as she prepared for another spell.
...
Throughout the next half an hour or even more, she repeatedly used various non-lethal spells on the two girls. Stupefy and Levicorpus were her most used spells because it was funny to see them stumble around and fall over after Stupefy, and to watch them flail around helplessly, panicking when upside down after using Levicorpus
After a while, the girls were hit with Stupefy so many times, and they were so disoriented because of Levicorpus, that they just couldn't stand anymore, they could only roll around on the floor as Bellatrix laughed and continuously cast spells on them. Luna eventually ended up knocked out when she was just hanging upside down and Bellatrix cast Stupefy on her, that was too much for her brain to handle.
Soon after Luna was knocked out, Bellatrix decided to finally stop. She got a bit sweaty and wiped the droplets of sweat away from her forehead, together with strands of her curly hair.
"Wow... That was fun! Though, probably not for Loony here! She thought it was so boring that she just fell asleep, how rude!" She cackled raspily.
The girls were covered with new bruises all over their bodies as they hit the floor hard over and over again, sometimes. Hermione was crying and Luna was as well before she fell unconscious.
Hermione sat by Luna's side, holding her head, looking very worried because Luna's injuries and bruises looked a lot worse. At least from her point of view.
Bellatrix didn't seem to care one bit.
"Well, girls... As I said, I'm in a hurry, and I have much more important things to do than mess around with you two disgusting whores... Oh, I'm going to unleash hell on you when I come back! We will have so much fun!" Her tone was intense and full of power. "See you soon... And have fun!" She added strangely cheerfully.
"This wasn't hell yet?" Hermione mumbled to herself and even managed to chuckle at the thought.
Her whole body hurt, but she still cared more about Luna's well-being than her own. She stroked her hair and face, as she hoped that she would wake up anytime soon.
...
It took about one hour before Luna finally woke up. Not without help, though. Hermione finally got so worried that she used their water and poured a bit of it on Luna's face, and that woke her up immediately.
They spent the following hours in the bed, almost wordlessly. Each minute, each day... All of it felt excruciatingly long in this place. But waiting for Bellatrix to come back with the news of the Dark Lord's victory... Those were the longest hours... or days... They ever lived through.
Hermione only thought about the Dark Lord's and Bellatrix's victory... She hoped for it. She had to hope for it.
Luna, who was still dizzy from the beating she received from Bellatrix, had other thoughts. For the first time in months, she had actual sparks of hope in her mind. She knew the results of this war were absolute. There were no in-betweens. Either the Dark Lord would win, and there would never be any hope for her and Hermione ever again. They would spend the rest of their lives in Bellatrix's captivity unless she decided to sell them off, and those lives might not even last that long. But suddenly, Luna also had hope that the tide of war might be turned and that Harry might win!
Her train of thought was interrupted as Luna yelped out in both pain and surprise when her collar shocked her. Hermione also got startled, especially because Luna never got shocked by the collar unless it was cursed to shock her no matter what.
"Are you okay?!" Hermione asked frantically.
"Y-yes, I'm sorry..." Luna said after touching her neck carefully with tears in her eyes. Thinking about Harry Potter's victory technically meant that Bellatrix was going to get hurt.. or worse at some point, that's why she got shocked, and she realized it.
Just the fact that Harry Potter was alive, alone gave her a glimmer of hope. Hope that it was not all decided yet. And if the Dark Lord lost the war, and Bellatrix escaped. It was much more likely they would be rescued. Harry and Ron would surely make it their priority after defeating the Dark Lord.
In Luna's mind, there were only a few outcomes of this situation. And no matter in what manner would Bellatrix return... Or someone else. She was resigned to live through the worst-case scenario, she didn't want to die. And she was prepared to serve Bellatrix for as long as Bellatrix had use for her, just to survive.
Hermione and Luna held each other tightly. They weren't able to sleep or rest. They were pumped with adrenaline the entire time, their hearts pounding, awaiting who was going to come through that door. They didn't know if the war was going to last a few hours, a day... a few days... a few weeks. They had no idea. Luna had no realistic image in her head to imagine what state Hogwarts was in at that moment, or how large were the Dark Lord's forces or how large were the forces of Hogwarts. But they had Harry Potter... At least they had him.
...
They didn't know how much time had passed. But they knew it was long enough that the adrenaline finally fizzled out of them. And they finally got a bit tired, though they both knew they weren't going to fall asleep. Their chests were still being gripped by extreme anxiety. They knew that the battle could've been over already. Or it could've been still raging.
Hermione got shocked a few times throughout their unbearably long respite. She just couldn't keep all the thoughts from her head.
...
As much as the girls didn't want to fall asleep until someone showed up, the exhaustion finally won over them, and after a few more hours, they both slumbered off, resting their heads against each other's...
...
When they woke up, the room was still filled with silence. Nobody was there, and it also didn't look like someone entered while they were asleep. Their bruises were hurting even more than before, with most of the adrenaline gone. However, they felt it coming back into their system as they knew that surely, anytime soon, someone would come.
"We will know soon... I feel it... Something is telling me that... We will know soon... And it will be over... In some sense..." Luna muttered softly. Hermione only whimpered quietly as a response.
...
A sound... Something... They heard something!
Both girls sprang out on the floor in unison, their hearts began pounding anew. The room was usually very good at keeping outside sounds where they belonged... On the outside. So the fact that they were hearing anything at all was very unusual... They weren't sure what it was... It could've been Bellatrix celebrating... Or it could've been something else.
Some of the sounds sounded like explosions... wood shattering... screams... shrieks... Panicked shrieks.
They were standing a few feet away from the door, holding their breath as the sounds grew louder... They thought they heard Bellatrix, but it certainly didn't sound like she was celebrating anything.
Suddenly, as a shockwave, the door flung open faster than it ever did before. In fact, it happened so fast the door shattered. Everything happened so fast, the girls didn't have time to react.
Bellatrix rushed in, and within a split second, she was suddenly behind both of them, holding one of them around the neck harshly, almost choking Hermione, while pointing her wand at Luna's neck. It was like she was hiding in between them.
The girls yelped out, more in surprise than anything. They didn't know what was happening, or why it was happening. They didn't know what got Bellatrix to act like this. Why would she ever act like this? They couldn't see anyone else... yet.
With the door opened all the sounds were suddenly much clearer. Someone else was rushing up the stairs.
They could see the black hair... the glasses.
It was him.
Harry Potter.
His face was covered in grime and blood, together with all of his clothes.
Wand drawn, he stopped right as he walked through the broken doorframe. He had fury in his eyes that was now being replaced by awe and shock. While he didn't lower his wand, he was obviously stunned.
He knew that the biggest chance of finding Hermione would be Bellatrix. He imagined that Bellatrix would keep her, and torture her... But to find her alive after what felt like such a long time... And Luna... He had no idea where Luna was, and he was almost convinced Luna wasn't alive anymore. And he didn't expect to find her with Bellatrix as well. His opened mouth was only widening in unbelievable surprise. His surprised gaze was slowly turning to horror, as he was processing what Hermione and Luna actually looked like. He realized he could barely recognize them when he really focused on them. When he rushed, he just automatically assumed that was Hermione and probably Luna because of the iconic blonde hair. Because he assumed Hermione would be there... somewhere. But once he noticed how tortured they both looked, how destroyed their bodies were... He wasn't sure he would recognize them immediately if he just randomly encountered them. He almost instinctively covered his eyes, looking at his two naked friends, but to a certain point, he kept his cool, realizing that there was still one of the most murderous, cruel, crazy witches with the full intention of murdering him... Standing right behind his friends.
"W-what... WHAT DID YOU DO?!" His raspy voice pierced through Luna's and Hermione's cries, along with all the other sounds that were still coming from somewhere Luna and Hermione didn't know.
"Throw away that wand, Potter!!! Or I will cut open this pretty throat!" Bellatrix yelled, circling her wand at Luna's neck.
Though Hermione and Luna couldn't see it at the moment, Bellatrix looked beyond distressed, she was sweating as if she just ran a marathon, and she was wounded in multiple places.
Harry bit his lips, he was growing increasingly angrier, the more he looked at Hermione and Luna.
"DO IT! Or I will kill them both!" Bellatrix pressed.
"DO YOU THINK THERE'S A WAY OUT OF THIS, BELLATRIX?! THIS IS THE END OF THE LINE! You are done!!! YOU WON'T KILL A SINGLE ANOTHER PERSON!!!" Harry yelled back at her.
Luna and Hermione were still in shock, they couldn't believe who they were seeing. They didn't want to believe it. They didn't want to have false hopes. It must've been a trick, deployed by Bellatrix. Still, they didn't know how to react, they only cried and whimpered, knowing that Bellatrix was threatening them. They were too afraid to move an inch.
"Ohhhh, I will do whatever I want! And you will do whatever I want unless YOU! You want to have more blood on your hands!!!" Bellatrix tried to sound as assertive and confident as she could, but she was audibly desperate.
"THROW AWAY THAT WAND!" She yelled louder.
Harry wished he could hit Bellatrix and avoid hurting his friends, who looked like they would crumble into pieces if he hit them with any spell at all. However, she was very carefully hidden behind both of them. He was looking for angles, but there was no way to hit her.
He stomped his foot and bit his lip again until it bled. He let go of his wand. As it hit the ground, it immediately seemed as if Bellatrix directed her wand at Harry, prepared to cast a spell.
Someone else rushed up the stairs... Even faster and with even more fury in his eyes than Harry earlier.
His ginger, disheveled, dirty hair whipped the air and his face as he was running.
Ron Weasley.
Covered in as much dirt and blood as Harry, if not more.
Seeing the wand in his hand, Bellatrix quickly turned her wand back at Luna.
Both Luna and Hermione could feel Bellatrix trembling, even more so now that Ron appeared.
If it was Ron at all... Luna wasn't sure. Maybe this was just wrackspurts messing with her. At least that's what she thought, because she wasn't sure Hermione was witnessing the same things.
Ron seemed to be so infused with fury, anger, and hatred, that he was only very briefly shocked by Luna's and Hermione's presence before his face turned back into pure rage. It was almost as if something so terrible happened that even finding Hermione after thinking she was dead, together with Luna, wasn't as important as the thing on his mind.
"GET AWAY FROM THEM, YOU INHUMAN SCUM!!! SO THAT YOUR MISERABLE EXISTENCE CAN FINALLY END, SO THAT I CAN RID THE EARTH OF YOUR FILTH!!!" Ron's rough, intense, furious tone drowned out all the sounds noises, and voices. Even Luna got scared. Hermione would get scared if she believed that what and who was in front of her was real.
"RON!!! Don't do it! For heaven's sake, don't do it!!! LOWER YOUR WAND!!! Don't cast it!!!" Harry yelled desperately.
Luna wasn't sure who Harry was trying to save. Bellatrix, them, or Ron himself.
"DON'T GET IN MY WAY HARRY!!! THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY THIS ENDS!!! WITH THIS LUNATIC DEAD!!!" Ron was screaming his lungs out.
"D-Drop your w-wand! ...Weasley! You don't want to see your girlfriend die, do you?!" Bellatrix's voice was quivering. Luna never heard her speak like that. Never.
Bellatrix realized that pointing the wand at Hermione would be more effective at that moment, and quickly flicked the wand in her hand, and now it was pointing at Hermione's neck instead, however, she couldn't hold Hermione as tightly anymore as she also had to hold Luna close so that her body wouldn't be exposed.
Ron shook his head in a blind rage. "THAT WON'T WORK ON ME, BELLATRIX! I WILL GO THROUGH 'ANYONE' TO KILL YOU." He put a special emphasis on the word 'anyone'.
Harry who looked nearly as furious as Ron did earlier, was now wearing an expression full of worry, and distress. His eyes kept fluttering between Ron and Bellatrix.
Bellatrix was preparing to cast the unforgivable curse on Hermione. She didn't care that she would lose her mudblood pet. If it would save her skin, she would kill anyone.
Hermione saw the entire thing in slow motion... Until it hit her. She finally realized... This was real. It was Harry and Ron... Standing in front of her! It was real!
"Oh my god... Ron!!! Harry!!! Please help me!!! Please--" Hermione was cut off.
...
Bellatrix never thought that it would be her own device, her own creation... That it would be her undoing.
As Hermione saw through all the successful brainwashing and hellish torture Bellatrix had inflicted on her... She was still wearing the collar. And the moment Hermione spoke out Ron's and Harry's names... And her head was filled with memories of them. She got shocked.
And she got shocked so hard, Hermione was in so much pain, that she involuntarily managed to get out of Bellatrix's grasp. Not completely, but she managed to make two steps sideways.
"RON, DON'T DO IT, IT WILL DESTROY YOUR SOUL, DON'T- NOOOO--"
Harry's yell was cut off by Ron's spell, he yelled it as loud as he could, and there was barely ever someone in history, that meant it as sincerely as he did.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!!!" A powerful, deadly... unforgivable green ray of light surged from his wand... Everything happened so quickly.
The green ray of lightning just barely missed Luna and slightly less barely missed Hermione. Hitting Bellatrix straight in the chest.
Bellatrix's last expression was pure disbelief, pure shock. As her lifeless body was violently thrown to the ground. Motionless... She perished... She was dead.
As Bellatrix fell, she took Luna with her, while Hermione managed to keep standing.
Harry only glanced at Ron in shock and disbelief, he had just about the same expression that Bellatrix would have carved on her face as long as it was still attached to her body. Then he turned his attention to Luna and Hermione. He ran to them. Ron didn't move. He panted angrily.
Before Harry could get to them, Hermione was finally overwhelmed. And fell to the ground. Unconscious.
"Luna!!! Luna.... Everything will be alright now, trust me... Everything will be alright..." Harry sat down next to Luna, and hugged her tightly, not even noticing that Hermione passed out. It was all too much.
Luna never heard sweeter words in her life. She smiled at Harry.
"I know... I know I'm safe now... Now what you're here, Harry... I... I am sorry... I am--uh...--"
As much as Luna wished to stay awake, and as much as she wanted to thank Harry for all eternity, her body and brain had other plans.
And everything turned to blissful nothingness.
