Chapter 74: Hermione Avenged
****The last thing Sirius saw and heard at the end of chapter 73…
Finally she jumped up and down and clapped her hands with glee. "Nicely done Bella! You will always be the Dark Lord's favorite after today. He needs me to warm his bed again, like it was before that bitch returned."
Bellatrix raced into the room, hearing her in her cold, sickly-sweet voice proclaim, "All alone my dearie? What a shame. I came to keep you company while your lover is away."
Hermione stayed on the bed to finish crying and calm down. After Tom had left she knew she had to do what he has requested. She needed to remember, it was more than herself that she needed to take care of; her babies came first. Anyhow, she was so tired and drained from the anticipation of this battle. Going back to sit and hold Thomas sounded so relaxing right now.
Sitting up on the bed, she stretched her arms up high and she looked around for her wand. The door opened and in ran the last person she wanted to see right now, or ever for that matter.
In her cold, sickly-sweet voice she proclaimed, "All alone my dearie? What a shame. I came to keep you company while your lover is away." She twirled her wand around in her fingers, her black fingernail polish standing out against her pale, white skin.
"Taking a rest from the battle?" Bellatrix's eyebrows rose as she questioned, with a sneer. The dark-haired woman slowly walked over to where Hermione sat on the bed, her high-heeled boots clicking on the wood floors on her way over. Even with the woman's crazy personality, she still was rather sharp, her eyes darting to the nearby desk spotting Hermione's wand lying there. She could see the spark of interest in her eyes at Hermione's faux pas.
Hermione tried to stay calm and not keep staring at the desk. She didn't want to give Bellatrix any reason for her to pull her wand on her. Why was she here in the first place? So many thoughts were running through her mind.
"Is there something I can help you with? Shouldn't you be out there ready to fight again?" Hermione looked at Bella seeing if she could distract her, even for a moment.
"Why were you not there pretty, little Hermione?" Bella's scathing tone came out as she reached out to pull on one of Hermione's long curls. She giggled as she kept pulling on Hermione's hair.
Reaching out, Hermione's hand wrapped around Bellatrix's and she moved her hand away from her face.
"The Dark Lord has requested that I return to our son to protect him." Hermione stood up, now face to face with the dark witch. She kept a steady glance on her wand, making sure Bellatrix didn't make any sudden moves.
The older witch started twirling her wand around in her hand, like a drummer would with his sticks. The heavy pull of fear caused by this woman could be felt, creeping up inside of Hermione like cold water down her back. The circumstances of course were different, but deep inside she knew what this witch was capable of doing. After all she was responsible not only for many deaths, but also for driving the Longbottoms' insane with her favorite curse, The Cruciatus.
"I think you are just showing your true colors, aren't you sweet Hermione ? The Dark Lord truly can't count on you. He needs a woman who will stand by his side and not run off with her tail between her legs." Bella's tongue came out to run over her lips a she sneered at Hermione.
The battle was running rampant inside of Hermione. She wasn't running away from Tom. She had wanted to stay and fight with her mate, but he had requested her not to stay. Hermione could feel the sparks running through her magic and she wanted to smack that sneer right off of the crazy bitch's face.
The pounding on the door startled both women as they turned at the loud noise. As Bella turned, Hermione grabbed her wand. Both witches stood, wands at the ready for whoever was on the other side of the door.
The door swung open slamming against the wall and Sirius ran inside. Bella gave a loud growl at seeing her blood traitor cousin.
"So the wayward Black decided to come and play," Bellatrix fired off a hex towards Sirius who easily deflected it casting a shield.
Hermione could see that he was trying to circle around the room closer to her. The two cousins kept up a rally of spells against each other, neither hitting their target.
"It's just like old times isn't Bella? Our fathers used to have us practice on your estate at least weekly." Sirius's wand fired off another rally of spells to try and disarm Bella. The spells were fired off rapidly, neither one of them stopping.
"Did you come to kill me Sirius Black?" the witch cackled as she came very close hitting the man.
"I came to stop you from doing whatever you came to do in this room." Sirius spat out breathlessly, as their dueling now was tiring both of them.
Sirius words were enough to startle Bella who turned her head sharply towards Hermione with a questioning look. The movement was enough to distract the barmy witch, giving Sirius the edge.
His next spell came and hit Bellatrix who cried out in pain. Throwing herself towards Hermione, she grabbed the younger witch and jabbed her wand into Hermione's neck. Sirius stopped moving and Hermione could see the look of horror in her friend's eyes.
"Stay there Sirius or she dies. Why do you care about her?" Bellatrix shoved her wand even harder into Hermione's neck causing her to flinch.
Sirius stood watching the awful scene not saying a word. Hermione felt like she didn't dare even breathe. This witch was one you could never figure out what she'd do from one minute to the next.
"Answer me cousin," Bellatrix looked from Sirius to Hermione and then she laughed. "So, were you the one in the dalliance with the Dark Lord's woman? I'm sure that he would love to be here to witness this reunion of you two lovers, then he would be rid of you both!"
Hermione's heart felt like it would burst at hearing Bella's words. "I don't see what he sees in this slag who knows nothing about loyalty."
Looking over at Sirius he gave a slight side-to-side nod of his head, showing her to say nothing to anger her more.
As for Hermione, she was fed up with Bellatrix and her jealousies. If it wasn't one thing Bella was yacking about, then it was another, but plain and simple she was jealous of everything that Hermione had and was. After returning to live at Malfoy Manor, Bella had hated Hermione and Thomas. She continually sneered at her or whispered insults under her breath. Bella of course never did this when The Dark Lord could hear her, but Hermione had hoped that she would stop and realize that she had no chance with Tom. Now here she was with Bellatrix's wand stuck in her throat and threatening to kill her.
"Bella, you need to think about what you are doing." Sirius tried to reason with her. "What would your Dark Lord say if you killed his woman?"
Bellatrix snarled, "He would be better off without her! He loved me when she wasn't here." Her wand was digging in so deep it hurt to swallow. Hermione knew something needed to be done soon before Bellatrix lost any control that she was showing, even with how minutely it may be.
"Simply, Her-Mi-O-Nee," she exaggerated saying her name slowly, "You must die!"
Hermione still holding her wand in her hand swiftly brought it up, and shouted, "Confundo" and used a disarming charm grabbing Bella's wand off of the floor.
Before Sirius knew what was happening Hermione shouted, "Crucio" at Bellatrix, cursing her with the witch's own wand. The wild-haired witch fell to the floor screaming in pain. "Crucio" Hermione shouted again, holding the curse out a little longer this time.
"Hermione," Sirius shouted at her, but getting no response from the woman.
"Crucio," Hermione sent the curse one more time to the witch that she hated. Hermione could feel the joy from cursing Bella and liked seeing her body twitching in pain.
Hermione as if awaking from a stupor, dropped Bellatrix's wand as if it was on fire. She jumped back from the woman and collided with Sirius. Her heart was beating over-time and she could hardly catch her breath.
"Gods, it was so easy to lose control." Hermione bent to pick up her own wand and Sirius's arms wrapped around Hermione. Her body was shaking as she stared down at the woman who was now passed out cold.
"We need to leave this room." Sirius said. Then turning her around so their eyes met he said, "You need to leave the manor, now Hermione. The battle is starting up again. I heard it out in the hallway while I was trying to get into the room."
"There's something I need to do first."
"What? You just need to get back to Thomas." Sirius was trying not to yell and Hermione could see he was trying to stay calm.
Hermione walked over to Bellatrix and put her wand to her temple, "Obliviate." Looking back up to Sirius she saw him smile down at her.
"Always the smart one, aren't you?" He held his hand out to her. "Now, leave this room for good before she comes round."
"I'm ready now." Hermione took one more look at the downed witch, walked over to her and kicked her in the head. "Now she'll really have a headache when she wakes."
"Remind me never to get on your bad side little lady," Sirius gave a barking laugh and they left the room, shutting and warding the door. There would be one less crazy out there battling. Hermione now felt secretly avenged for every ill deed that Bellatrix Lestrange had done to her and her friends.

More to come! Bellatrix deserved that don't you agree? At times she truly annoys me.
