My Professor

chapter 10

Snape accompanied Bellatrix to her class, having just come from the great hall.
"So Bella what are you doing tonight?"
"Probably cuddle on my settee with a book and a mug of tea" Bella smiles.
"Unless of course you care to join me, then I'd probably cuddle up to you with a mug of tea then gossip about others " Bella adds wriggling her brows, Snape scoffs, a smile on his lips.
"As lovely as that sounds, I'm afraid I'll have to pass , unfortunately for me Dumbledore wishes to discuss something with me and Minerva. But We may stop by later, depending on how long Dumbledore keeps us." Snape takes Bella's arm as they walk up the stairs.
"You three always seem to have a bloody meeting " Bella huffed as they continue walking up the stairs. They remained silent for a few minutes. Once they arrived to Bellatrix's class, Snape turns to her.
"Well I must part as I have some classes to teach." Snape smiles slightly.
"As do I dearie " Bella smiles back as she then went inside.

After classes, Bella started to head to her bedroom, for a nice glass of fire whiskey.

***

Four glasses of whiskey later. Bella was bored with nothing to do, she decides to go to the library.
Holding her wand up for light and
Sighing she looks at all the books on all the shelves.
Remembering the many nights spent here as a young girl.
Smiling Bella walks down each isle just looking over each book when one book in particular caught her eye.
The beast, between this and other romance novels Bellatrix had read every book in the library, from facts to myths even down to mystery's, she'd read most anything but Romance novels. She remembers Cissy used to read it, but she didn't understand why, then again Cissy did like her romance novels.

Bella shrugged, taking the book and settling down on the chair as she placed the book on the table, Bellatrix figured she might as well read as she has nothing else to do.
A few minutes into the book and she hears footsteps coming towards the library , getting up quickly, taking her wand she heads to the back of the library, the light of her
Wand fading as someone entered the library and headed in her direction.
Bella backed up into the very corner, holding her breath hoping she would not be found.
Although Bella had to lean against the one shelf that wasn't very strong, and that extra bit of weight Bella gave to it caused it to collapse, covering Bella in a pile of books.
"Ah for shit sake" Bella raised her voice as the shelf came crashing down knocking her off her feet and a pile of books on top of her.
Bella couldn't move and her wand was nowhere in sight.

A gasp escapes the shadowed figure as it began moving towards the woman.
"Oh my god! are you alright?" Bellatrix instantly recognised the voice to be Grangers.
"I...don't know...if...you've noticed...Granger...but I ...am ... currently trapped...under thousands...of books...and a shelf...so...no...I'm not...bloody alright" the dark witch growled struggling to speak as she was short of breath, and Her body was throbbing with pain.

Breath, she's not so scary, she can be nice, besides look at the state of her, it's not as of she can do much. She needs your help, don't show her any fear and don't let her get to you. Right now she needs you.
Hermione mentally prepared herself.

"Don't move, let me get my wand " Hermione said earning a glare from the ravenette.
"damn...I thought...I'd take...a...walk" Bella mumbles sarcastically.
Hermione rolls her eyes, even in a situation like this the woman still manages to be snarky and moody.
After removing everything from on top of Bella and fixing the mess, Hermione turned back to the dark witch who lay on the floor in pain. She collected the woman's wand and pocketed it, using her own for light.
"What were you doing?" Hermione asks as she kneels down beside the witch.
"I...I might ask you...the same thing."
"I couldn't sleep." Hermione shrugs
"That's...that's because you do it...during my lesson." Bellatrix scoffs as she attempted to move, Bella gasps instantly regretting her Choice.
"Ah shit" she mumbles in pain.
"Here let me help" Hermione quickly moves towards the woman.
"No, I don't, I don't need help!"
"Oh really?" Hermione arches her brow.
She was tempted to leave the woman there, but she couldn't, she couldn't walk away.

Hermione sighs, helping Bella up onto her feet and holds her close to make sure she doesn't end up on the floor again.
"Thank you"Bella whispers avoiding to look at the girl, holding onto Hermione.
Hermione's eyes widen with shock.
"What was that?" She grins looking at the woman.
"Don't push it Granger." Bellatrix hisses as she holds onto the girl.

First of all: Bella, you're an idiot!
Secondly: thank god it's only Granger.
And thirdly: stop acting so weak, man up!

Bella snaps mentally to herself.
The raven haired witch left go of Hermione and tried to walk by herself only to be met with terrible pain shooting through her body and her legs not doing what she wanted, instead they decided to crumble under the pressure.
Luckily for Bella Hermione had caught her.
"Maybe I should carry you" Hermione suggested.
"Don't...be...so silly...I'm, I'm perfectly capable...of walking" Bella hisses.
"Clearly you're not " Hermione said as she scooped the ravenette up in her arms, like a bride.

Pain shot through Bellatrix's body at the sudden motion, causing her eyes to squeeze shut, and she bit down on her bottom lip.
"carful!" Bellatrix growls
"Sorry." Hermione whispers feeling slightly guilty for causing the woman even more pain.
Hermione began to walk, causing Bellatrix to open her eyes.
"What...what are you doing? Put...put me...down." Bella demands.
Hermione ignores her request and smiles.
"Huh, your lighter than I thought"
She left the library with the woman in her arms. Bellatrix swallows, she really didn't like being carried.

"Oh god ,please...please don't drop me " Bella manages to wrap her arms around Hermione's neck, burying her head into the girl's chest.
Hermione felt her heart skip a beat, the woman was afraid, afraid of Hermione dropping.
She even wrapped her arms around the girl's neck, that's practically giving into her.
For once Hermione was in control, and she kind of liked it. If she were to tell anyone of this they'd probably laugh and call her a liar. After all who would believe this?

"Of course I won't drop you " Hermione smiles looking down at the woman, seeing her like this, she actually looked quite adorable.
The girl starts up the stairs, breathing in the scent of the older woman. It was dark, earthy, with a hint of cinnamon. It suited her perfectly and Hermione liked it.
