AN: I am not sorry for this chapter... at all. ENJOY

The house is bigger than Draco's but it's less welcoming, more gloomy. A cloud of torchere and regret covers Hermione. Draco even seems uneasy.
"She's very...opinionated Granger, speak when she speaks to you and we might have no issues." Draco said softly
Might.
"What happened here? I can feel it all around me.." Hermione almost whispered
"My father happened. She won't bite now Let's go" Draco smiles reassuringly
It wasn't reassuring.
"You're not leaving my sight" Draco said
Draco put his hand up too the door and before he could knock it opened to his mother stood there hard and still. Not even a fake smile.
"Mother." Draco said
"Hello Mrs Malfoy" Hermione smiles
"Miss Granger, you can come in darling but Granger you stay out here for a moment" Narcissa says
"No mother-"
"It's okay." Hermione said softly
Draco went inside reluctantly and Narcissa closed the door behind her. Hermione gulped
"I won't hurt you. I hear that you two have been seeing each other" she sighed
"Y-yes we made official this morning...I think" Hermione smiles faintly
"You think? Is he treating you right?" Narcissa smiles
"Of course, he does everything for me" Hermione laughs
"Come in, to popular belief you are very welcome here." Narcissa laughs quietly showing her inside her home
"Oh it's lovely!" Hermione grins
"Thank you. You should go see Draco's old room" She laughs
"No mother- I'm sure she's redecorated" Draco sighs
"Oh no! I kept your room, it's special" Narcissa pouts
"I'm sure it'll lovely Draco, so green and covered in Spiderman stickers.." Hermione teased
"Spiderman?" Draco questioned
It's definitely more welcoming in the inside. Her doubts ease and she felt her arm start to burn, Hermione tries to hide her gasp but Draco hears it almost as soon as it exits her mouth.
She can never get away with anything. Draco pulls her to another room quickly and closes in on her, backing her into a wall.
"Are you okay?" He whispered
"Totally fine." She winced
"Is your scar hurting?" He asks
"Mhm" she winced
"Can I see it?" He asks gently moving her sleeve
It's bleeding and looking like it's decomposing without the actual process.
"Ah fuck-" Draco winced grabbing his arm
They were now both feeling it.
"Their burning aren't they.." A crackle was heard behind them
Bellatrix. She crackled and laughed heading towards Hermione, her hands stretched out excitedly
"Did you want round two?" She crackled evilly
"Aunt Bella, how nice to see you" Draco said in a low tone
He stood slightly in front of Hermione, if she was to attack Draco was in the way. Bellatrix inches closer
