   Summary

   Hermione, a well known lawyer, works most of her time fighting for the underdog, the victims, the good people. Hell, she's been fighting for what's right since she could wave a protest sign. When she finds out The local Community Center has recently been sold, she has to intervene. She makes a deal with Bellatrix Black herself, face of the company she'd spent so long working against.

   Bellatrix Black is a philanderer not interested in philanthropy, but she needs a hire-- Someone who can appease her sister-slash-CEO. Lucky for her, Hermione happens upon her at just the right moment.

   But is it a deal they'll both regret making?
