My Professor

Chapter 31

Hermione examines the hallway for prying eyes, satisfied there was none she quickly enters the woman's chambers, locking the door behind her.
"What are you doing?" Bellatrix furrows her brows.
"You're bed is much comfier than mine." Hermione said innocently as she closed the gap between them.
"Bold of you to assume I'll let you share my bed again."
"Oh you will." Hermione smiles wrapping her arms around the woman's waist.
"I think I preferred you when you were this shy girl who was absolutely petrified of me."
"Oh really? Well I don't." She quickly captures the woman's lips with her own, loving the surprised moan that escaped the ravenette.
"I've been craving this all day." Hermione admits, nibbling the woman's lower lip.
"Oh really? Well I've been craving a cup of piping hot tea all day. Be a dear and make me some will you?" Bellatrix pulls away from the frowning girl.
"Fine, but can I have another kiss first?"
"Tea first, kisses later." Bellatrix smiles sauntering towards the settee, she glances behind to see a frowning Hermione.
Bellatrix winks, blowing the groaning brunette a kiss as she heads towards the kitchen.
Sighing Bellatrix finally sat down on her own settee and leaned back into the cushions, closing her eyes.

Hermione returned a few minutes later, tray with two teas and biscuits in hand. She walks around the settee to see the ravenette who must of drifted off to sleep, a smile warms her face at the image before her.
A few strands of hair had fallen to Bellatrix face and Hermione had the urge to tuck the behind the woman's ear, which ended with a pale hand tightly gripping Hermione's wrist, startling the brunette slightly.
Bellatrix's eyes dart open only to realise just who's arm she was gripping and instantly let it go.
"You shouldn't do that, not when I'm sleeping."
"I've done it before, when we were in bed and you've never done that."
"That's different, I fell asleep knowing you were beside me."
Hermione sat down handing Bellatrix her tea.
"If you see me sleeping like that again throw something first, better me tear the pillow apart rather than your arm." Bellatrix huffs taking a sip of her tea. Hermione sat silently drinking her tea, watching the woman before her.

"How was your day?"
"Oh you don't want to know."
"Then why did I ask?" Hermione shuffles closer to the ravenette, who visibly stiffens at Hermione's sincere interest.
Bellatrix swallows, the girl was getting to close and to comfortable, maybe this whole thing was a mistake.
Hermione senses the sudden uncomfortable behaviour from the woman, however before Bellatrix fled abruptly or bit her head off Hermione decided to make a move, cautiously though. Scaring the woman off was definitely not what she intends to do.
"It's okay if you don't want to tell me." She inches even closer, slowly placing her hand on the woman's knee.
"Just know that I do care, and I am interested in how your day went." She slowly began to caress the woman's leg.
"You don't have to lie-"
"I'm not lying, anything to do with you has my complete attention. I...I really do care for you Bella."
Bellatrix swallows, though her attention soon shifted to the sudden warm damp feeling on her leg.
"Shit..." she mumbles at her shaking hand that so carelessly spilt the tea.
A hand quickly took the tea out of the shaky hand, and places it on the little table.
Hermione quickly turns her attention back to Bellatrix, covering the woman's trembling hands with her own, the once tea stained dress now dry and clean thanks to a certain witch.
"Hey, you alright?" The taller witch gently squeezes Bella's hands.
"I'm fine!"
"You know, it's okay not to feel okay." She offers a friendly smile, but Bellatrix avoids her gaze.
"Bella look at me." The woman ignores the brunette.
"Bella..." Hermione sighs bringing her hand to the woman's face, lifting her chin up so she could see Bellatrix's face.
"What?!" The ravenette responds not wanting to make eye contact.
"Just look at me for a minute."
The ravenette sighs, slowly looking up to meet Hermione's gaze. The brunette smiles.
Bellatrix swallows, the girl was laughing at her on the inside, she just knew it! Laughing at how pathetic she was! How weak she was!

"You're so beautiful..." Bellatrix was getting ready to bite the girls head off, but that comment definitely caught her off guard.
"...what?"
"I said" Hermione smiles inching even closer "you're so beautiful."
" If this is some sick trick I will-" Bellatrix was so rudely cut off by lips against her own. Bellatrix didn't respond at first, she even thought about bashing the girls head in for trying to fool her, but something was stopping her, something deep inside wouldn't let her harm the girl.
"No tricks Bella, no tricks..." Hermione whispers before capturing the witch in another kiss.
