My Professor

Chapter 26

10:24pm
The students are all in their dorms asleep when Severus returns, well all except one.

"Where is she?" Minerva quickly makes her way to Severus.
"Did you find her?, please tell me you found her." Minerva adds clutching his arm.
"Does it look as though I found her?"Severus said, though made no effort to pull his arm away.
"We'll find her Minerva." Dumbledore pulled the woman into a hug.
"What, what if they find her first I'll never-" Snape cut her up.
"We will find her. They will not harm her." Severus spoke, trying to keep his cool.
"You don't know that!" Mcgonagall snapped pushing Dumbledore away.
"Easy now, lets not bite each other's heads off." Dumbldore said, trying to calm Minerva down.
Hermione hid under the cloak of invisibility she 'borrowed' from Harry.
Severus mumbled something to Minerva as he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a tight embrace. Whatever Severus did seemed to work, however it wasn't long before Dumbledore interfered.

"Severus could you get Minerva some calming potion please, and meet us in my office." the old man added as he lead Minerva to his office and, she glanced over her shoulder to look at Snape and he offered her a warm smile before he headed to his class room.

This allowed Hermione to make a quick exit.

"Yer can come out of hiding now Bella, Snape has gone." Hagrid said sitting in his chair.
"Thank Merlin for that." Bella sighs taking a seat near the little table.
"Why do they find it necessary to always send someone after me?" she rests her head in her hands.
"Because they don't wan' anything to happen to yer, or they're afraid you'll kill someone" Hagrid shrugged.
"I feel like a trapped tiger." Bella sighs.
"Well, that's what ye get for having a deadly man obsessed with ye." Hagrid smiled.
"Very funny" Bella rolls her eyes.
He just chuckled, When something caught his eye.

"What's tha' " he mumbles getting up and looking out his small window.
"What? What is it?" Bella asks, sitting forward in her seat with interest.
"I think it's one o' Harry's friends." Hagrid said
"It's 'ermione." he adds.
"Oh god what is she doing out this late?" Bella sighed standing up.
"Going into the forest." he turns to face her.
"What?!" Bella hurried to the door.
"Thanks Hagrid, I'll speak to you soon." Bella said quickly kissing his cheek then left.
"Ya take care now." he yells waving her off.

"Oh Bella, where are you?" Hermione mumbles walking deeper into the forest.
Hermione stopped when she realised she had no idea where she was.
Then she heard a twig snap.
"Professor is that you?" she raises her glowing wand to reveal the werewolf Fenrir Greyback.
He grinned.
"Funny this, you being here, me being here." he shrugged walking closer to her.
"Get back." she held her wand tightly.
"So pretty." he grinned "How do you feel about...getting physical" he pounced on Hermione who instantly screamed.
"Shut up you stupid girl." he growled
when a hex knocked him off of her.

"You dare touch her!" came the familiar growl. The dark witch stepped out of the shadows.
"You dare bloody touch her or look at her like that again I'll torture you into insanity! " she moved towards the girl.
"Bella..." Hermione gasps, clearly shook up.
"It's alright pet I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you." Bella whispers helping her off the floor, as greyback gets back to his feet.
"Oh, Bellatrix. my lord will be so pleased when I bring you to him, then I'll have the girl." He grinns.
"You will do no such thing!" she spat stepping in front of Hermione.
He just laughed when she hit him with a hex.
"Bitch!" he growled "You're lucky he wants you alive." he adds, raising his wand and sending the stunning spell towards Bellatrix who effortlessly blocked it.
Her laughter once again filled the air.
"Stupid mutt, did you honestly think that would work?" Bella said as he suddenly pounced on her.

"Bella!" Hermione screamed as the werewolf wrestled her to the ground.
He had torn her black skirt revealing her legs.
"Huh, I always took a fancy to you mind..." he grinned slamming his mouth against hers.
Bella bit down hard on his bottom lip, biting right through his skin causing him to pull away. He wiped the blood away.
"You dirty " he started when something sent him flying into a tree. Bellatrix looks up to see Hermione with her wand held out.
"You bastard!" She yelled hitting him with painful hexes.
Bellatrix watched her, her eyes transfixed, she didn't know what to do, she was the one usually saving peoples arses instead of sitting on the floor like a useless damsel in distress.
"You alright?" Hermione quickly made her way to Bellatrix and began checking the woman over.
"I'm fine! Unhand me at once!" Bellatrix moves to break free of the girls grip. She quickly got to her feet leaving Hermione kneeling on the floor.

She walked towards the withering wolf. Hermione watches the woman as she walks towards the vile man, She takes a deep breath then kicks him in the side earning a painful whimper.
"Bloody Bastard." Bellatrix mumbles before turning to look at the girl on the floor.

"Just what the hell were you thinking?!" Bellatrix frowns walking towards her, "Oh you silly girl you could of died!" Bellatrix snaps rubbing her temple. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack"
"I came to find you, I assure you, this wasn't apart of my plan." Hermione stood up off the floor.
"Are you hurt?" Bellatrix began examining the girl, and Hermione couldn't help but chuckle at the shorter woman.
"I'm fine, it's you I'm worried about, you appear to have a nasty scrape on your leg." Hermione points towards the bleeding wound.
"I'll live." Bellatrix shrugs.
"Bellatrix, let me have a look." Hermione places her hands on the woman's arms.
"I'm fine."
"So you say, but I just want to have a check, you checked me over, I didn't stop you."
"I don't need to be checked over, I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself." Bellatrix frowns stepping out of the girls grip.
"I know, but You're my girlfriend, I just want to make sure you're alright and-"
"What did you just say?" Bellatrix interrupts
Hermione frowns, "I just want to make sure you're alright..."
"No before that, you called me your girlfriend."
Hermione swallows, "did I?"
"Yes. yes you did." Bellatrix folds her arms, and Hermione desperately hoped she hadn't ruined it and caused the woman to go off on one...again.
"Let's get this straight Granger." Bellatrix took a step closer to the taller girl.
"I'm no one's girlfriend, and I'm definitely not yours." She poked the girl in the chest, her eyes narrowing as she glared at the brunette, Hermione swallowed, she wasn't about to admit it but her words stung.

Bellatrix took a step back, a playful spark in her eyes and a smirk tugging at her lips.
"That could easily change however, if you were to ask me nicely that is."
Hermione couldn't hide the smile that covered her face, for a moment there she thought she'd lost the woman, and all her hard work had been for nothing and she'd have to start again.

"Very well." Hermione took a step forward, "Bellatrix Black would you like to be my girlfriend?"
Bellatrix arches her brow, the playful spark in her eyes more evident now than before.
"I'll think about it." And with that she turns and heads back to the castle.
"Come along Granger, I do so hate to be kept waiting." She calls. Hermione grins, shaking her head she follows the woman.

As the pair walked, Hermione couldn't stop herself from glancing at the smaller woman, and the wound on her leg, the same leg that had been damaged not so long ago by the library shelves.
It looked nasty and if it was painful Bellatrix certainly didn't show it.
"Stop staring at my leg, it's fine!" Bellatrix snaps.
"It doesn't look Fine Bella, I do wish you'd let me take a look."
"It's fine, I've been in far worse situations than this and managed alone."
"Yes well you're not alone, you've got me and I'm concerned."
"God you sound like Minerva." Bellatrix rolls her eyes.

A pang of jealousy tugged at Hermione at the mention of the other woman's name. Don't get it wrong Hermione likes Minerva Mcgonagall, however she wasn't exactly fond of how close Minerva appears to be with Bellatrix.
"If I let you take a look back at the castle will you shut up?"
"Yes."
"Fine." Bellatrix growls, inching closer to the girl at the sound of rustling nearby.
Hermione arches her brow, a smug smirk on her lips.
"Shut up or I'll hex you!"
"I didn't say anything."
"I'm inching closer just in case I have to save your sorry arse again."
"Okay." Hermione kept the smirk in place.

She noticed the woman's hand falling loosely by her side, not being able to stop herself she took hold of the pale hand.
Bellatrix instantly looks at Hermione meeting her gaze then quickly turning away, Hermione could of swarn she saw the woman blushing. She smiles, she'd never get tired of seeing the woman's pink cheeks, especially since it wasn't something you'd associate with Bellatrix Black.
The pair walked back to the castle, and Bellatrix made no effort to pull her hand from the girl's.
