Professor Lestrange

Chapter four

Hermione looked at the clock. She realized it's almost time for the first class so she quickly changed her clothes took the books and went to the classroom.

She sat next to Ron. "Hey did you take some rest Mione?" he asked nicely. "Yeah I did I really needed that." she replied. Professor McGonnagall got in the classroom and looked at the students.

She didn't look as usual. Everyone saw she was worried about something. She acted like everything's alright and started with their lesson. "What's going on with her today. Do you think that's because of George's prank yesterday?" Ron asked as he laughed "It was hilarious!". "Oh god what did he do now?" Hermione asked.

"Miss Granger and mr Weasley is it too much if I ask for attention on my class?" McGonnagall asked with anger in her voice. McGonnagall? Who's always pretty, calm yelled at students? Now everyone knew something's wrong.

After the class they went in hallway. Hermione saw Bellatrix, but even she looked worried. She didn't want to ask what's going on..but she felt like she have to.

"Every professor in this school is acting weird! Can we have just ONE year without any problem?!" Harry asked frustrated "I'm honestly getting sick of this!". "Calm down Harry I'm sure it's not that big think as we think it is. They probably saw a giant somewhere around the school or something like that." Hermione replied calmly.

Just few moments later they heard professor McGonnagall entering "Everyone stay in your dorms!". "Professor what's going on?" Harry asked. "Don't worry Mr Potter we'll take care about it. Your job is to stay safe!" she said as she left.
It took a long time before McGonnagall got back.

Everyone were so stressed so they couldn't help but asking a thousand questions. "The most important thing is that everything is safe now." McGonnagall said. "But professor what if that happens again?" Dean asked "We'll have to do something!". McGonnagall sighed "We'll take care about that. Don't worry." she said as she left.

Hermione didn't understand what happened. She decited to go in moaning Myrtle's bathroom to relax.

On her way she walked next to Bella's office. Some strange sound made her stopped walking. It came from her office. Hermione quietly got in so Bellatrix didn't notice someone's there. On Hermione's surprise Bella was crying.

Bella was looking out of window and whispering "I'm sorry.. I'm sorry..". Hermione slowly placed hand on her shoulder"Professor..are you alright?". Bella looked at her.

Her eyes were full of tears and some of them were still falling down her cheeks. "I'm fine." she replied. Hermione looked at her. She saw how sad she was "You can tell me what's going on. I'm good at listening." Hermione said as Bella looked at her. "A-Andromeda.." she mumbled. "Your sister.." Hermione said "What about her?". "She's dead.." Bella replied and started crying again. Hermione couldn't watch her like that. She wanted to make her happy. "What happened with her?" she asked.

Bella looked at her "It's about earlier attack. Death Eaters came here through forbidden forest. She was there.. and they killed her..because she tried to stop them.." Then she looked out of window "When we were in your ages we fought. She didn't like that I'm working for Dark Lord. But I didn't care. And when I found her with a boy.. I got mad because he was not pure-blood and our parents wanted us to marry pure-bloods.. from that day we're not good..". Hermione looked at her and listened to her carefully. For the first time she saw her like that. "You'll see her again professor. I'm sure she's watching over you now..and listening to you. And I'm sure she forgive you."

Bellatrix couldn't help but hugged Hermione. It was strange feeling for her. She couldn't let Bella out of her head and now they're hugging. They both liked it. "Thank you!" Bella whispered. "Anytime professor." Hermione said. "Call me Bellatrix."
