Hermione riddle [Wattys 2019] [Dramione]

Chapter 48- Fur time

*Edited*

Later that night after the party had ended and the family had gone their separate ways, Hermione was walking through the gardens by herself for some quiet time when she spotted a black snake curled up on the back of a big black grayish spotted leopard. 

Laying together near the hedges, Hermione couldn't help but smile knowing it was her parents. Who else could it have been. 

There was no one else that Hermione knew that had the animagus of a rare black spotted leopard besides herself. 

Voldemort's animagus was also relatively rare as his form was a incredibly venomous vamp snake. So Hermione knew. It was her parents. 

And It would have been an odd sight had Hermione not known about her fathers second suprise. 

A leopard with a big black vamp snake curled up happily on its back was a very strange sight indeed. But to Hermione it made her smile knowing her fathers plan had worked. 

Voldemort looks over and gives his daughter a snake smile before returning his head to Bellatrix shoulder. 

He had more then missed the feeling of laying on Bellatrix's back. Feeling her body heat through her fur. Curled up close to her and pressed close. 

The feeling of unity between their bodies. The curves and dips in Bellatrix back that seemed to match his snake body perfectly. 

Yes. He had missed this. 

Voldemort didn't realized how much until he was laying in her fur again. Bellatrix was curled up more then content laying in the grass with Voldemort on her back. 

She had missed this so much. The feeling of being free. The sights and sounds. The smells. The grass against her body and paws. 

The weight of Voldemort pressed on her back in a comforting way. She could feel the heat coming off him and it warmed her back. 

How she had missed all of this so much. She had even missed her tail. When she found out what Voldemort had done for her, she nearly burst out into sobs. 

Not being able to transform had taking its toll on the dark witch. Bellatrix for a while wasn't sure if she was ever going to be able to transform again. 

And that had broken her heart. Voldemort had known how much she had missed this. And how much she had beeen hurting due to her lack of transformation. 

So he knew. He would make this possible for his soul mate again. No matter what it would have taken. 

She and Voldemort had been curled up in the garden for a while now. And she was happy. They had both misssed doing this between them. 

And neither of them wanted to leave. Bellatrix looks over upon feeling Voldemort move and smiles in a cat way upon seeing her daughter. 

Nodding her head to her daughter, Hermione smiles before walking over and sitting beside her parents. Hermione gently runs her hand over Bellatrix's soft fur and smiles. 

"So I take it that you liked dad's second suprise?" Hermione says making Voldemort roll his eyes. He would have laughed had he not been so comfortable laying in Bellatrix's fur. 

He didn't feel like moving. He almost felt like falling asleep laying on Bellatrix's back. Because of how comfortable he had felt. 

Bellatrix nods her head and lays it in hermiones lap. "You weren't lying when you said I looked just like you mum." Hermione whispers making her mother chuff. 

It was the equivalent of a human laugh. Hermione can't help but laugh as well before hugging her mother and kissing her fathers cheek. 

 Hermione stands and goes to leave but stops and turns back to her parents to observe them for a moment. 

Hermione knew how much her father had missed this so she was going to let her parents have their moment. She would see them later. 

But as she watched her parents she couldn't help but smile. It warmed her heart to know her parents were together again after all those years of being apart. 

Hermione knew how much pain her parents had felt when they were apart. And she couldn't imagine feeling that pain with Draco. 

She didn't think she would be able to stand it. But her parents were strong. That was why they survived being apart as long as they did. 

And that made Hermione smile. Because if her parents were that strong. Maybe if she ever needed to be. She could be to. 

"Don't stay up to late tonight princesssss." Voldemort hisses as hermione goes to walk off. 

Hermione rolls her eyes. 

"I mean it Hermione." Voldemort says. He knew that Hermione had a habit of staying up late and it wasn't good for her. It made him worry. 

"I won't Dad. I'll see you in the morning." Hermione says before walking off to finish her stroll through the gardens leaving the two soul mates alone so they could have their moment. 

Voldemort frowns slightly watching his daughter walk off. He knew that Hermione was probably going to stay up despite what he told her. 

So he would have to check on her later tonight. But for now he turns back to Bellatrix and nudges her. Bellatrix purrs softly and rests her head down in the grass. 

Voldemort couldn't help but smile and follows her laying his head down as well. And it isn't long before the dark duo have fallen asleep together.
