Bellatrix Black knew what was expected of her. Coming from one of the noble and most ancient pureblood families, she had a legacy to carry on -- a legacy she'd never fulfill thanks to her sister's Mudblood best friend.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE boundaries & curses
.·:*¨༺ ☾ ༻¨*:·.
𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀 𝐅𝐔𝐆𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄. Definitely not the best example to be setting for her young goddaughter. Andromeda would be shitting herself if she found out, and Ted would give her another lecture about how dangerous Bellatrix was and how reckless Juniper was being.
But when it came to playing it safe or risking everything to be with the love of her life, she'd pick the second option any day, and it seemed as if Bellatrix felt the same. She left only when she needed to and kept watch over Juniper from the dark window of her room at the Hog's Head whenever she was on duty to patrol Hogsmeade at night.
When neither of them had to work, they were curled up in bed, wrapped in each other's arms and telling tales to pass the time or getting lost in the other's body.
The latter was the most common seeing as Bellatrix must've never learned self control, but Juniper took responsibility in making sure the former was done, too. Afterall, there was more to a relationship than just sex. Whatever this was that she and Bellatrix had going on, it wouldn't ever work out if the dark witch spent more time inside of her than actually knowing her.
"You can't put me on a sex ban!"
"For Merlin's sake, Bella, it is not a sex ban. It's just a break. Besides, I—" Juniper folded her arms uncomfortably over her chest. "I-I'm on my period," she mumbled, her cheeks burning in slight embarrassment at the admission. Nevertheless, she stared up at Bellatrix with confidence. "You don't want to get your fingers all bloody, do you?"
Bellatrix shrugged. "Have you never heard of getting it on in the shower?"
"Bella!" Juniper thumped her on the forehead. She yelped in fright when Bellatrix retaliated by tackling her onto the bed. But instead of hurting her like she initially thought, she squirmed as the older woman started to tickle her. "Ah! Bellatrix!" She pushed on her shoulders, unable to keep from laughing. "St-Stop it!"
"Nah." Bellatrix smirked, continuing to tickle the auror below her. She leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Not until you apologize, Muddy."
"A-Apologize for what? You're the sex addict who should apologize to me!"
Hearing the seriousness in Juniper's tone, Bellatrix stopped ticking her. She ran a hand through her wild curls and sighed, her brows pulling together stubbornly. "Why? You're mine, remember?"
"I'm still yours, but we need to set boundaries, Bellatrix," Juniper stated, sitting up when Bellatrix got off of her. "We used to hang out. Or have you gotten so used to having me underneath you that you've forgotten?"
