Poppy glances at Severus catching his eyes before  quickening her pace, going on ahead of them. "I don't think its wise, her going off on her own like that." Severus mumbles as he watches her leave. Bellatrix looks at him, " Then why don't you go with her, I'm sure she'd be happy for the company." Severus glances at his friend arching his brow. "why do I feel like you had something to do with this?" Bellatrix smiles innocently, " Haven't the foggiest idea." he rolls his eyes, turning his attention to Minerva, " You'll be alright?" Minerva chuckles, " Aye, we've bin worse than this afore noo." The woman slurs earning a very small chuckle from Snape. "Very well." he smiles before leaving to catch up with Poppy.
                          
"Ah kno whit ye did thare." Minerva rests her head on the taller woman's shoulder as they watch the pair disappear into the darkness. Bellatrix chuckles, "I have no idea what you're talking about love." Minerva laughs, "O' coorse ye dinnae."

The pair enter Minerva's quarters, Minerva stumbling through the door slightly, "Carful." Bellatrix chuckles wrapping her arm around the laughing woman's waist. Screaming and applauding caught Bellatrix attention who reached for her watch : Midnight.
"Happy new year Love." Bellatrix smiles down at Minerva. Minerva smiles in return before capturing Bellatrix's lips with her own.
Bellatrix growls as Minerva began nibbling at Bella's bottom lip, stumbling slightly as she attempted to stand on her tip toes, luckily Bellatrix wrapped her arms around the woman's waist to steady her, pulling back slightly she smiles.
                          
 "Come on, lets get you to bed before you end up breaking something." Minerva rolls her eyes, leaning on Bellatrix "A wullnae break anythin' " Bellatrix smiles, guiding the woman to the bedroom. 
"Best hope you Don't, Or I'll have to punish you." 
Minerva smirks "Ah wouln't complain." Bellatrix arches her brow slightly shocked to hear that leave the woman's mouth, even if she was drunk, "Minerva McGonagall, you naughty little witch." Minerva chuckles as Bellatrix guides her to the bedroom, stumbling herself slightly. Minerva chuckles at the taller woman, leaving her go and made her way to the bed. Bellatrix watches her, smirking at the drunk Minerva as she sat on the bed trying to take her shoes off. Bellatrix found it rather amusing, especially knowing she was usually in a similar situation, and they'd both forget by the morning. But Bellatrix definitely won't be forgetting this, in fact she might not get that drunk again, it was far more amusing to watch Minerva.
                          
"Whit urr ye grinning at?" Minerva furrows her brows earning a chuckle from Bellatrix, "You, even drunk you're adorable." Bellatrix smirks walking over to the woman. "A'm nae blootert." Bellatrix smirks at the woman's denial, "Course not love." she takes Minerva's heels off, "Now, turn around, I'll unzip your dress." Minerva's eyes meet Bella's "Ah juist bet ye wull." she whispers before leaning closer and capturing Bella's lips with her own. Bellatrix growls, trying not to pin the woman down, especially when she felt Minerva nibble at her bottom lip. Bellatrix pulls back, examining the woman's face, growling at the mischievous look in her eyes. "You little minx." Bellatrix whispers, Minerva chuckles.
                          
After finally managing to get Minerva sorted and tucked up in bed Bellatrix got herself ready, then joined the woman in the bed. As soon as Bellatrix lay down Minerva had latched onto her like a leech, Bellatrix smiles happily wrapping her arms protectively around her little teddy bear, who eventually fell asleep, mumbling softly every now and then. Bellatrix gazes at the woman, finding that just by simply watching Minerva sleep Bella's heart melted. No one would ever fully understand just how much this woman means to Bellatrix.

"Come on Love, we're going to be late otherwise." Bellatrix calls holding up the woman's cloak as Minerva made her way towards Bellatrix.
"Got the presents?" She asks taking the cloak and putting it on.
"Yes, everything you told me to get I've got. Now get that sexy little arse of yours in action, we need to go." Bellatrix smirks at the frown upon Minerva's face.
"Behave." Minerva warns, but Bellatrix only winked before squeezing her backside as they disappeared.  They made an appearance in the dark little alleyway, that was a 10 minute walk from Minerva's brothers house.
"I thought I told you to behave." Minerva nudges the taller woman who bursts out laughing.
"I couldn't help it, it was just there." 
"You're unbelievable, you know that?!" Minerva shakes her head though a smile was evident on her lips. Bellatrix grins pulling the woman closer and kissing her. 
Minerva inhales, giving into Bellatrix for a minute before finally pulling away.
"My Brother's." Minerva said, looking up at the taller woman who's face held a smug smile.
