My Professor

Chapter 23

Bellatrix sat between Minerva and Severus, all three ignoring the short pink woman who tried to engage them in conversation. " Do you think anyone would notice if I turned her into a cockroach and crushed her?" Bellatrix whispers reaching for her drink. " Please do." Severus mumbles taking a bite of his food. " Everyone would Notice Bella, though I can't imagine any complaints being made on Hogwarts behalf, however the ministry might not appreciate it." Minerva replies. Dolores clears her throat in attempt to get their attention. " Do you hear something?" Bellatrix smirks, "Do not start Bella." Minerva warns, Bellatrix rolls her eyes. Severus leans closer to Bellatrix and further away from the pink witch who just attempted to touch his hand. " Sounded like a toad to me." Severus said in his usual monotone voice, Bellatrix sniggers looking down at her plate, "Would you pair behave." Minerva scolds.

"What are you laughing at?" Dolores spoke up, looking at the three then the culprit who laughed. " Not that it's any of you're business, but I was merely laughing at Something Severus said." Dolores leans closer out of interest, "and that was?" Bellatrix smirks, " As I said, it's none of your business." The toad like woman frowned sitting back in her chair. Minerva rolls her eyes, well she did try.

Bellatrix sat at her desk, marking papers and going over her schedule ready for the following day, when the door opened, no knock or call, and because of that, Bellatrix looked up intrigued to see who dared enter her Class without any warning. She arches her brow at the culprit, "Feeling very brave lately, aren't we?" Hermione smirks closing the door behind her. Bellatrix folds her arms, " So you think you can just barge in here whenever you feel like it?" Hermione grins walking towards the woman "yes." Bellatrix frowns, " And for what exactly?" Hermione's grin grew wider as she rounds the desk, leaning down, her face inches away from Bellatrix's.  "This." Hermione caught The woman's lips with hers earning a small growl.

As Hermione pulls back for some air Bellatrix reaches for her tie, pulling her closer
"You should be carful little Gryffindor, have you any idea who you're playing with?" Bellatrix whispers
"Dynamite." Hermione grins earning an arch brow from the woman.
"Close enough." Bellatrix smirks pulling the girl in by her tie for another kiss.

Bellatrix sat on her settee in the little back room of her class as she waits for Hermione to bring her some tea. Hermione smiles handing the woman her mug then took a seat beside her.
"So do tell me, will you be making a habit of this?" Bellatrix takes a sip of her tea, "or is it just a one off thing?"
Hermione smirks "Oh this definitely isn't a one off thing, so you'd best get used to it." Bellatrix takes another sip of her tea, "I could get into a lot of trouble..."
"That's bullshit and you know it, I don't know how you do it, but I've noticed how you have Dumbldore wrapped around your little finger, whatever you do you never get in any trouble." Hermione smirks, Bellatrix chuckles.
"See now that's where you're wrong, Minerva has Dumbledore wrapped around her little finger, that marvellous woman can do whatever she pleases, she practically runs the school, Dumbledore's just there, he has a say now and then, but all in all without Minerva he'd be screwed. And I just so happen to be...quite close to Minerva." Bellatrix smirks taking another sip of her tea completely oblivious to the flash of jealousy on Hermione's face.
"I did notice..." Hermione mumbles also taking a sip of her tea.

Minerva waltzed into Bellatrix's classroom heading directly towards the young witch sat at her desk, " Just a heads up, she'll be starting her inspections tomorrow, behave and don't for the love of Merlin do not kill her." Minerva warns leaning on the woman's desk, blue eyes meeting brown.
"As if I'd do a thing like that." Bellatrix smiles, earning an arched brow from Minerva.
"Hmm imagine that." Minerva smiles rolling her eyes.
"Tea?"
"Thought you'd never ask." Minerva follows the younger woman.

Hermione sat deep in thought, book in hand though her mind was focused on something else...
"Hey Mione what ya reading?" Ginny smiles coming to sit beside her friend, who shakes her head then smiles.
"Oh Umm, just a book." Hermione gestures to the book in her hands.
"I can see that, but what book is it?" Ginny rolls her eyes, Hermione frowns, she didn't know, her mind had become too distracted with a certain person she'd forgotten what book she held in her hands.
"There you are!" Harry quickly bursts through the library door followed by Ron, both earning an irritated shush from the librarian.
Hermione sighs, happy the boys showed up when they did so she didn't have to look stupid by forgetting what book she was reading.
"Hermione, we need your help." Harry whispers, nodding to Ginny who smiles in return.
