Chapter 4
Hermione raised her head to apologize and her eyes were locked in two onyx eyes.
"Oh Pet, it looks like you're chasing me but you're not even paying attention to what's in front of you." Bellatrix said with an amused grin.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you, and I have to say I'm not chasing you."
"Hmm, although two visits in one day is not a coincidence, but if you say so it is acceptable. I saw you earlier than I thought."
Hermione furrowed her brows "Don't worry you won't see me again unless the girls cause trouble again which I hope won't happen"
" Me too, but don't sure about to not see me in the future." she said with an amused grin, looking Hermione up and down.
Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "Can you let go of me while I go wash my hands?"
"Of course," Bella said and walked out, but then turned back and said, "Honestly, Pet, if I hadn't seen you in these clothes, I'd have thought you'd always wear those ridiculous jackets."
" I love that jacket and don't you dare insult the jacket that Ron gave me." she said angrily.
"Hmm and who's Ron?" she said with amusement.
"It's none of your damn business"
"I'm going to assume he's your silly little boyfriend who thinks no one will come near you if he gives you a jacket with the first letter of his name on it." she said with a sneer in her voice.
"Oh my God, let me go," she said desperately.
"Ok, I'll go." Bella said with a laugh.
Hermione said as she suddenly remembered something "hey you told me I'd chase you in case it could be the other way around , anyway you said I'll see you soon in the morning"
Bellatrix stared at her as if she had seen an idiot. "I won't Pet, this is my sister's restaurant and I don't need to follow you to come here, got it?"
Hermione raised her eyebrows "Narcissa is your sister?"
"Yes she is, and you seem to know her," she said with a cool face.
"Yes, I know her"
"Ok good for you , I'll go before she comes here to make sure I'm alive" she said and left the bathroom.
Hermione nodded and went to the sink to wash her hands.

Bellatrix pov
When she came out of the bathroom she walked towards where she was with Narcissa but didn't see her. She looked around to see where her sister was, she saw her coming towards her from a table at the end of the restaurant.
"Where have you been?" Bellatrix said.
"Nowhere, I just saw Rigel and went to talk to her"
Bellatrix rolled her eyes. "You mean Rigel Granger?"
"Yeah, do you know her?"
"This is the girl who punched Orion today"
Narcissa looked at Bella in surprise and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Do you think the girls will become friends in the future?"
"Can you hear me cissy? I said that she hit my daughter today." She said angrily.
"Don't be upset, it's just a very familiar story." She said with a laugh.
"How?"
"Before Draco went to France, he and Hermione had a problem with each other from the first semester of university and Draco says that it bothered her a lot until one day in the middle of the third semester, Hermione lost control and punched him in the face. After that, they almost became friends, until now they are close friends." she said with a laugh.
"So her daughter has gone to herself and apparently knows the whole family except me"
"Bella you weren't here and neither was Orion, it's only natural that she knows everyone."
"It doesn't matter that she doesn't know me, it's important that I see her everywhere."
"What do you mean?"
"I saw her at school in the morning, and now she hit me hard while her head was down like someone chasing me."
"Don't say bullshit , she doesn't chase you, she usually comes here once a month to eat with Rigel."
"Okay, anyway, I want to talk about Lucy." she said while waving her hand towards Narcissa as if to shoo away a pesky mosquito.
Narcissa rolled her eyes and said, "Okay Bella, but don't call him Lucy."

Hermione pov
When she came out of the bathroom, she quickly went to their table and sat down.
"You're lucky, they just brought the food now."
"Great," she said, she looked away from Rigel And she looked towards Narcissa, whose eyes unfortunately locked with Bellatrix's.
"Narcissa is at the restaurant, she saw me and said that whenever we want to go home, we should go to see her." Rigel's voice made Hermione stop looking at Bellatrix.
"Okay, we'll see her." she said and started eating and said, "Indeed, Rigel, Ms. Smith said that you should go to Ms. Hoffman's counselor twice a week for your fights and problems with Orion."
"Just me?"
"No,both of you."
"Great, it couldn't be better than this"
"Don't whine, I don't want any more trouble and I don't want to see her mother again either." She said and looked at Bellatrix who was paying attention to her sister.
"Why, does she frighten you?" Rigel asked with a laugh.
"No, of course not"
"She shouldn't, have you seen how beautiful she is?"
"Yes, I've seen it, now can you ignore her so we can eat?"
"Oh, you've seen." She said with a grin.
"Rigel," Hermione said with a frown.
"Ok" Rigel said holding back a laugh.
Thirty minutes later when the food was finished and Hermione paid they were ready to leave. When they approached Bellatrix's table, Narcissa was not there.
"Where is she?"
“She went to her office, how are you Rigel? Doesn't your fist hurt since morning?" She said with a teasing grin.
"I'm fine, thank you," Rigel said, While her cheeks were red from shame.
"Don't bother her, we're going to cissy's office"
"Oh really she lets you call her cissy, you must be a lovely friend, she doesn't let everyone call her that, Pet" she laughed.
"I hate you," she said in frustration.
“Oh seriously, are you? Your eyes say something else" she said and stared into Hermione's eyes as if she wanted to find her soul.
"Don't bother her Bellatrix," Narcissa said from behind Hermione.
Hermione turned and smiled at her "Hey, I missed you."
Narcissa said as she hugged her "Me too, I said to see you to invite you personally."
"Where?" She said and broke away from Narcissa's embrace.
"I mean, you don't need an invitation, but in two weeks, there's a party at my manor for Draco's return from France."
"Draco coming back?" Hermione said in surprise.
"Oh my god, it looks like you two aren't very good friends." Bellatrix said playfully.
"You..." Hermione was about to answer when Narcissa's voice interrupted her.
" Bella, be nice” she said, turning to Hermione.
"Can I punch him again when he comes back?" Hermione looked at her pleadingly.
"Although I know how much you love this, but no darling, if he hasn't told you yet, I think I ruined his surprise, my apologies."
Hermione smiled and said, "It's no problem. If he calls, I'll pretend I didn't know, so I'll see you in two weeks."
"Thank you and yes," she said with a smile.
"Bye Pet, see you in two weeks."
Hermione said goodbye to them while rolling her eyes and went to her car with Rigel.
..............
The next morning, while Hermione was having breakfast before going to work, she saw Rigel coming down the stairs and going to the door.
"First breakfast"
"I'm not hungry"
"I said breakfast"
Rigel began to eat as she sat down on the chair.
"I thought you weren't hungry," she chuckled and Rigel rolled her eyes.
"Today is Wednesday and you must go to see Ms. Hoffman, don't forget."
"Can I not see her?"
"No Rigel, I'm late, I have to go."
"OK"
She e took her bag, kissed Rigel's forehead, went to the door and got into her car to go to the company.
She was idle until ten o'clock when Mr. Robinson came to the office, then when he came he asked Hermione to go to his office. She knocked on the door and entered the room with his permission.
"Please be seated Ms. Granger, there is something I need to discuss with you."
Hermione sat up and looked at him with curious eyes.
"Honestly, I don't know how to express this issue, I decided to transfer the company to Italy and I will no longer have a company here. I won't be coming back myself, so I thought it would be better to let you know so that you can look for another job."
Hermione was in doubt and thought and missed the rest of his words.
After a few moments, she said, "So you're leaving forever?"
"Yes, I'm going and I don't think you have the conditions to come to Italy, do you?"
"no I dont have"
"So unfortunately we're done here, you can go to accounting and pick up the check I left for you"
Hermione nodded and said thank you. She e moved to the door when Mr. Robinson began to speak again.
"Indeed, if you find a job, I can personally confirm your work here."
Hermione smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Robinson." She left the office, wondering what she was going to do now without a job.
