"I know it is you, behind that mask..."

"I was thinking..."

,,He is your best friend, Sweetheart..."

,,I know... but he almost bursted out, when I've told him, that you've had helped me, while your sister... had that little chat with me." Hermione said, a few days later, while she was still struggling with herself, if she should go to Ron's Birthday or not.

Narcissa smiled and took Hermione's hand, and squeezed it, before she said: ,,Remember what I've told you... I don't care what he might could say or think."

,,But I do... because you are important to me, and I hate it, when people talk bad about those whom I love." Hermione said, and Narcissa kissed her: ,,I love you too, sweetheart, but you really should go to that party..."

Hermione sighed and finally gave in, and nodded: ,,Alright..."

A few days later she stood in front of the burrow, holding Narcissa's hand, who got an invitation from Molly to come with Hermione to the party.

,,If he calls you a Bitch again..." Hermione said, but didn't finished the sentence, and after a slight smirk from Narcisa, she didn't have to finish it. They stepped forward, and Hermione knocked at the door and whispered: ,,How do you handle situations like that?"

Narcissa laughed, and whispered back: ,,Ten seconds are not enough to learn that, Darling." Hermione nodded, and told herself, it wouldn't be that bad. The door opened, and Molly greeted Hermione with a tight hug, and looked at Narcissa.

"Thank you for coming..."

Narcissa smiled and thought: "Let me guess.. you did not think it through..."

"Not really... he almost yelled at me, when I told him, you're coming too..."

Hermione looked back and forth between them, and cleared her throat to get a bit of attention. Molly smiled at her, and stepped aside, to let them inside.

,,Should I ask...?" She whispered, but Narcissa only shook her head. They walked through the kitchen, and were greeted by George, Ginny, Harry and Draco...

None of them said a single word... Draco gave his mother a nod, and looked similar nervous like Hermione, who was looking at the Weasleys.

Ginny was the first one who moved... she stood up, approached them, and reached out a hand for Narcissa, followed by George and Harry.

Ron only stared at her, and seemed to found his ability to speak at last: ,,What the hell is she doing here?!"

,,Don't talk to my mother like that." Draco said, but Narcissa only raised a hand in his direction: ,,It's alright, Draco."

,,No it's not..." Draco, Hermione, and Harry whispered, and Ron said: ,,You dare to bring her to my birthday party?!"

,,Yes, Ron... I dare." Hermione said, and tried to stay calm. ,,I would take her anywhere just to see people like you, stare at us because they can't believe that someone like me can really love her."

No one said a single word, until George started laughing, and the rest of them joined his laughter... Hermione felt Narcissa's soft touch in her mind, before she heard her voice in her head:

"You are in serious trouble now, Ms Granger..."

But something in Narcissa's voice told her, that the trouble was good...

,,You have to tell me everything..." Ginny said after a wonderful meal, and even Ron had stopped his death gaze at Narcissa, and Hermione laughed, and began: ,,Well it had started with those messages, I've told you about..." while she was talking, she felt something in her lower body... there was a sudden heat, and it felt like soft fingertips running up her leg... she kept talking with Ginny, while she tried to ignore her growing arousal. She looked around, and found Narcissa, who was talking with Molly. Their eyes met, and Narcissa gave her a wicked wink.

"Oh come on... I've made a compliment..."

"I know, sweetheart... and I'm a Slytherin, so let me have my fun in a house filled with Gryffindors..."

"What about... fuck... your son..."

"Doesn't count... he's busy with Harry... I really shouldn't have mentioned it..." Hermione heard her, and laughed in her head, and she also felt the magical fingers vanishing...

,,Am I interrupting?" Ron suddenly asked, Ginny and Hermione looked up at him, and Ron asked Ginny for a few minutes with Hermione, so Ginny left them.

Ron sat down, and cleared his throat: ,,I'm sorry Mione... I really am..."

,,Are you saying this only because it's your birthday?" Hermione asked softly, and to her surprise he shook his head, and said: ,,I saw her talking with you, and... I think I was really overreacting..."

,,Oh really?!" She just couldn't bit back her sarcasm, and gave him an apologetic look, but he nodded: ,,No, no... it's alright... but... why her?"

Hermione smirked, and looked over at Narcissa, who found her gaze, and gave her a heartwarming smile... she smiled back, and said: ,,I can't give you the exactly reason... it's nothing like, because she likes me, like I am, or the other way round. Not only because of that. I love her, Ron... I love her for whom she is, not for what she'd done..."

He nodded, and they just sat there in silence, until Harry and Draco said goodbye to Narcissa and Molly. They hugged each other, and after they left, she heard Narcissa's voice in her head:

"Would you like to leave?"

"Yes..." Hermione thought, and she also hugged Ron, before he went over to apologize to Narcissa... they left and Hermione asked: ,,Am I a bad person, if I think, that he only apologized, to feel better?"

,,I can assure you, that he meant it."

,,Narcissa Black, did you just looked in my best friend's mind?"

,,Me?! No... I would never do such things..."

,,No of course not... you only stand there, talking with Molly while almost magically finger fucking me..." Hermione said smirking, and Narcissa laughed: ,,Tell me you did not like it." She said, and apparated them back home, where her lips immediately found Hermione's soft lips.

,,Tell me you didn't like it, and I will never do it again..."

,,If you won't do it again... I will learn this spell by myself... and then I will wait, until you are standing somewhere... deep in a conversation... and then I would magically finger fuck you without warning..."

,,Hermione Granger... I will see you in my bed in ten seconds, or I swear to Salazar himself, that I will fuck myself..."

,,I was thinking..." Hermione said later, while Narcissa was stroking her bare stomach.

,,You really shouldn't do that..."

,,Bite me..." Hermione said laughingly, and turned to Narcissa. ,,No seriously... I was thinking about you and me." Narcissa didn't responds to that... somewhere deep inside of herself was still that tiny piece of fear, Hermione would want to have someone younger...

,,I... I was wondering, if I could move in... or... if you would like to move in with me... or if we-" Narcissa just had to interrupt her with an intensive kiss, because she didn't look in Hermione's mind before, and that question ripped away the very last piece of fear... at least she hoped it would take the very very last piece of fear...
