Chapter 74
Hermione pov
Running I grab a branch swinging myself up looking around and frowning "hey Wolfie, should we be concerned about two women traveling together on horses here?" I ask.
Hearing Anita groan climbing up I glance at her raising my brow "Old age or became to comfortable with that world's stuff?" I ask smirking.
"I will push you from the tree" she snarls before looking at where I point.
"Fuck, avoid mentioning who your Mother is and no attacking, that's Aurora and Mulan she lead a small army to victory in a huge war" she hisses.
Huffing I watch them getting closer before leaning down locking my legs around the branch to hang upside down.
Feeling Bella slap me I hiss hitting her back before Narcissa pulls us apart "Bloody mad lunatic" I scream over her laughing.
Ignoring the two women reaching us I jump down hugging McGonagall smirking at Bella "I'm your favorite over Bella right?" I ask making myself sound younger.
"I'm her favorite" Bella screams pointing her wand at me.
"Try me" I scream ignoring the woman with a sword out watching us and guarding the princess.
Ducking a spell I laugh waving my hand at her sending her flying back into Narcissa.
Seeing Bella pale at seeing her when she gets up, I swallow nervously seeing her looking at the mud on her robes before glaring at us.
"Cissa" Bella says nervously.
"Lady Malfoy?" I ask at the same time.
"You both have five seconds to run because when I catch you I will make a Crucio seem like a warm hug" she growls.
Seeing Bella nod I step back before taking off running hearing Bella following after me.
Reaching a bush I jump kicking off a tree to pass it, hitting the ground I flinch hearing Bella struggling with the bush.
Looking back I see her caught in it by her dress, biting my lip I look seeing Narcissa stalking after us before the bush has a hole blasted in it.
"Dress wearing mad woman" I grumble grabbing her hand yanking her free before changing her clothes to leather pants but leave her corset.
"Combat boots" I mumble seeing her shoes before dragging her along.
"How long will she chase?" I ask.
"Till she tires or gets us" Bella says cackling while glancing around nervously.
Nodding I shiver before diving towards Bella knocking her out of the way of a spell getting hit on my leg.
Hissing I get up continuing with running ignoring the swelling and stinging on my leg.
2 hours later
Sitting in a tree hidden I fight back reacting to Bella checking out my injuries while hearing Narcissa calling out names "How the hell can she sound so sweet, when she's calling us to torture us" I grumble "I can't even hear her false sweetness" I add shivering.
My eyes widen seeing her eyes lock on us before seeing a vindictive smile on her face "Jump" Bella orders grabbing me as she jumps down.
Hitting the ground I scramble up following Bella seeing her covering her mouth, shaking with a manic look in her eyes "Are you laughing?" I whisper harshly.
"I can't help it, it's not like I can control it, never could" she screeches before laughing.
"What the hell does that mean?" I demand before screaming and raising a shield over us.
"I laugh when I'm nervous or dealing with anything upsetting" Bella screams grabbing my arm yanking me into a a tight grouping of trees.
"You have nervous laughter?" I ask taking a breath.
"Yes, it's why I was considered mad before going to Azkaban" she says leaning on a tree trying to catch her breath.
"So in battle or when torturing someone?" I ask.
"What about it?" She demands glaring at me.
"Your anxiety is at its highest that's why you laugh" I mumble before yanking her with me hearing Narcissa coming.
"Why are we not fighting back?" I ask.
"Because Cissa will make it worse when she catches us, doing this she burns her energy and magic up so her attacks are less painful" Bella whispers glancing around.
Running more I screech slamming into a body, jumping up I freeze seeing the dark haired Asian woman.
Bella grabs me yanking me up "Stop admiring her" Bella orders glaring at me before pointing her wand at the woman getting up and dusting herself off.
Feeling Bella push me forward I take off with her following me while feeling her glaring at me "Why are you glaring at me?" I ask.
"Just throwing yourself at that slag and admiring her" she hisses.
Glancing at her I raise my brow "Excuse me?"
"You threw yourself at her maybe she should help you escape my sister" Bella hisses.
Stopping I turn to face her pushing her back so she can't pass me "Are you insinuating I purposely bumped into her because she's attractive?" I demand.
"The moment she sees you turn into a dragon that sword will be flying at you"
Looking at her I raise my brow at her screeching comment before seeing her block multiple spells getting hit with the last flying forward.
Huffing I lift her up to my back running "I should just leave you there or use you up as a peace offering with your Bloody sister for saying that" I hiss.
3 hours later
Sitting in a cave I hiss at the pain all over my body before glaring at Narcissa seeing her smug smirk.
Glancing at Bella I sigh seeing her passed out "I have no idea where we are or how to get back" I mumble.
"What?" She asks looking panicked.
"You chased us out of the Moors, I have no clue where but the land is wrong it doesn't feel like home" I answer.
"We have to get back to the others and return home"
"Yes, but I'm lost I wasn't joking about not being familiar with the forest. McGonagall has Anita she knows the land and what's dangerous, we're on our own till we find them"
"You shouldn't have been fighting"
"You shouldn't have been acting insane" I counter twitching slightly.
"You two got mud on my robes"
"You had a repellent charm on them and all the mud was removed"
