Chapter Text
Opening the door she saw a soft orange glow enter her field of view. For a short moment she thought for a split second that she must have cleaned out the fireplace while she went to get herself a cup of tea. Walking in though she saw the chaos that was happening in her former living room.
“Bellatrix Black, what in the Morrigan’s name happened here!” she yelled across the room as she pulled out her wand already casting a water making spell in the roaring fires direction.
“I didn’t do anything!” Bellatrix called back to her as she dodged the flow of the water that was now creating a full plume of steam coming off the fire that had engulfed the wall where the fireplace used to be.
“Then WHY IS OUR LIVING ROOM ON FIRE!”
“I don’t KNOW, I WAS COLD AND SAID THAT OUT LOUD. I DIDN’T KNOW THE HOUSE WOULD RESPOND WITH SETTING ITSELF ABALZE!” Bellatrix called out as she rolled out of the way of a gulf of flames that seemed to be hell set on lighting the carpet ablaze.
Taking that in, she aimed the stream of water that was appearing out of thin air ahead of the tip of her wand. She had heard that some houses in the magic property market had been enchanted to be more luxurious, with theses kinds of amenities build in. Though when she had bought it they had failed to mention that this house had been enchanted in any way. Now she could see why that might have been.
“Get over here!” she yelled as one of the support beams overhead started to smoke and char from the heat of the fire.
Taking a second to see Bella make her way across the room till she was standing behind her she took a deep breath before, “Aguamenti maxima,” and filled the room ahead of her with water while she pulled herself and Bellatrix out of the room.
There was a sound of crashing stone and a low thud when one of the wooden beams hit the floor on the other side of the wall.
“So…” Bellatrix started.
“I doubt well be getting that deposit back,” Hermione said as she let out a small chuckle. Mostly from the absurdity of the situation if not the stress the past two minutes had caused her.
“Yeah, I think that went up in flames,” Bellatrix added before she dashed out of range for Hermione to hit her shoulder.
