Chapter Text
Hermione had never seen Bellatrix this excited. She watched as her wife moved quickly around the room, putting more effort in her outfit and makeup than Hermione had ever seen.
“Bella? We’re going to be late.” Hermione said, softly, as Bellatrix left the bedroom and ran down the staircase.
“I’ll be just a second, love! I’m just looking for my lipstick!” Bellatrix called from downstairs. Hermione got up and walked over to the desk in the corner of the room. A small bottle of dark red lipstick laid in plain view. She picked it up and looked at it for a second. It was her favourite colour on Bellatrix. She loved the way it looked when the woman smiled, and the way it always left lipstick kisses on everything.
“Is this the one you’re looking for?” Hermione asked loudly. She heard Bellatrix’s heels click against the stairs. The dark-haired woman walked up to her wife and took the bottle out of her hands gently.
“Yes! Thank you! Where was it?”
“Right here.” Hermione tapped the desk where the lipstick had been. She watched as the other woman held up a mirror and put a generous amount of dark red on her lips.
“Perfect!” She closed the bottle and placed it back down on the table. “Let’s go, my darling.” As Bellatrix said this, she sounded a bit breathless, and Hermione noticed.
“You’re very excited, aren’t you?”
Bellatrix nodded. “Do you think he’ll like me?” Hermione smiled awkwardly for a moment. Her wife sounded like a schoolgirl on her first ever date.
