Drabbletag 5: Harry Potter, Bellatrix/Hermione, Smart
Title: Smart Mind, Smart Mouth.
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Bellatrix/Hermione
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 157
Note: Mild hints of past abuse.
Hermione knows she's smart. She always has been and yet... and yet it takes Bellatrix snapping completely for her to realise that the woman is broken. She has been used by her family to marry another pureblood family and yet... she clearly doesn't love it. Bellatrix is huddled, sobbing, shaking and refusing to move. She had, somehow, been pulled back from death at the last minute and yet she looks just as fragile as ever and is clearly not alright. Hermione had suffered at her hands and yet, as she watched, she realised why she didn't mind. She had suffered the beatings, screaming but still not giving Bella anything on her friends, she had been subjected to horror and yet her smart mind caught up to her smart mouth, and she kept silent.
She had crouched, moving to tuck hair from Bella's face, finding herself angry when Bella flinched back, openly whimpering. She needed to fix her.
