HP Bella's Lie

03 - Bella's lie

Bella told Mrs. Cole to take good care of Riddle and not let him know of her existence. After paying her a large sum of "charity money" for this, she hurriedly ended the visit.

On the way home, Bella was full of thoughts in the car and couldn't calm down for a long time.On the one hand, she was very excited to meet that person, on the other hand, she was shocked and heartbroken by his childhood suffering, on the one hand, she felt the pressure of making plans suddenly doubled, and on the other hand, she was worried about the various future possibilities arising from it. And excitement and longing... Waves of emotions like a tide made her dizzy.

—Maybe motion sickness.

Bella has never been a sentimental person, and as soon as she got home, she threw away the random thoughts on the road and started to prepare for picking up Riddle.

Bella found a large piece of kraft paper, pulled out a few smoky silver threads from her temples with her magic wand, dipped them into the ink, tapped the quill again, the quill immediately jumped up, dipped itself in the ink, and started writing on the kraft paper. Swipe up and start writing.

This is what Bella has been doing since day one, writing down a paragraph of what happened in the future every day so that she can refer to it for herself.

Unlike the Pensieve, the memory written by this method can only be seen by the memory owner himself, making it an ideal means of preserving confidential memories.

"Fly."

Pulling out the chair, Bella poured herself a cup of coffee, and a Muggle book on the shelf fell safely onto the table.A bookmark twisted for a while, successfully turned the book to the page it was on, and then turned around triumphantly, and then twisted and sat on the edge of the page, acting as a part-time paperweight.

Bella didn't expect to live to this age, and still have the opportunity to regain the life of studying books in her school days.In order to better arrange little Riddle's life in the Muggle world before entering school, she tried her best, wishing to turn the Muggle civilization upside down to ensure that she did not miss any of its advantages and disadvantages.And the modern science that affects the course of Muggle history is even more compulsory. It is really not a pleasant experience to learn these things that she has never heard of before.

However, Bella has been a very strong girl since she was a child. Facts have proved that she has extremely high talents. She achieved excellent grades during Hogwarts, and she was also a fearsome female devil in her later life. When she made up her mind to master , no obstacle can stop her.

Starting from Muggle history, then to philosophical theories, political and economic works, and then to natural science, Bella is like a crazy sponge, quickly absorbing the essence of a strange civilization.

At the same time, with the help of magic, she reached out to the Muggle world in London.

There are countless ways for a wizard, especially an unscrupulous and powerful Dark wizard, to make some money in the Muggle world.Needless to say, Bella soon had a little money and influence of her own in the Muggle world.

She picked the best school near Knockturn Alley, and bought a two-bedroom house in the neighborhood around the school—it cost a lot of money.It then took some work to create a suitable form of identification, intended to take root in the Muggle world for the long haul.

All this was almost done, Bella finally couldn't bear the anxiety and longing in her heart anymore, and decided to adopt Riddle back.

Riddle was awakened by the sound of Mrs. Cole opening the door—if that kind of violence close to kicking the door counted as opening the door—Mrs. Cole pulled him off the bed with a gloomy expression.

"Boy, don't think that you can be lawless if you are not punished for confinement! Look at what time it is? Everyone else has gone to work, and you - lying on the bed and sleeping soundly? You really think of yourself as a young master!" ?”

Riddle was uncomfortable being dragged away by her, he struggled to free her hand, and immediately saw what was going on when he woke up, and said coldly: "Today is a rest day, no one told me that there is temporary processing."

"Let me tell you, you are a little bastard that no one wants! What are you going to eat if you don't work? Ah? Why do you think I keep your dozens of mouths? Now the nobles are picking each other up... "Ms. Cole didn't hear what he said at all, she just pretended that he didn't say anything, and continued to curse in front of her.

Riddle didn't expect her to listen to his explanation, he stared at her back and sneered in his heart——

He is different.

Just wait, sooner or later he'll make it clear to everyone.

Mrs. Cole has no idea what kind of terrifying existence the child behind her will become in the future. She just wants the lady to come back quickly and take this hapless child away. She has had enough of his eccentricity and hoarseness In the past, she could teach him a lesson, but now, in order not to annoy that lady, she can only swear - it's useless at all.

Mrs. Cole dragged Riddle back to the church, and Riddle was ordered to clean all the church seats under the sardonic eyes of the children.

"Don't try to be lazy, Riddle, I will check on you at night, if you can't finish cleaning dinner, you will have to delay!" Mrs. Cole said the harshest punishment she could use on him at present, and she was a little unwilling to see how severe it was. Her attitude made her tone extremely vicious.

Riddle kept his head down and did not answer, and Mrs. Cole left out of sight and out of mind.

"Haha! Riddle is out of luck! There are three hours left until dinner, he is finished!"

Sure enough, Mrs. Cole walked forward, and her enemies came up to add insult to injury.

"Who let him sleep for so long! It deserves it! Haha!"

"Riddle, where's your snake? Why didn't you take it out to scare us? Haha..."

This is another "happy" thing.Mrs. Cole finally agreed to Riddle to keep snakes because of Bella's urging, on the condition that Nagini could only move around in his own room.

Riddle raised an eyebrow, and sneered at the provocative person: "Aldo, Nagini has always missed your rabbit, why don't you bring it to play?"

"What are you talking about! Rabbit was almost bitten to death by that snake last time! Riddle, you, I warn you, don't play Rabbit's idea!"

"I'm not interested in your dirty rabbit. But Nagini is not with me, I can't control her, you have to pray for your rabbit's life."

"You..." Aldo blushed and couldn't say a word for a while.

At this moment, the door of the church suddenly opened.

"Children, stop first, a distinguished lady has come to see us!"

Riddle followed everyone's gaze to the door.

A tall and thin figure stood against the light in front of the door. He was wearing a dark green long skirt, and his long black curly hair was loosely scattered. His skin was so pale that it was sickly, but he could not conceal the noble temperament projected in his every move.

According to the past, when such a glance is over, Riddle will look back and do his own business with a clear mind.But this time it was different——

He met her eyes directly and never parted.

The breath of the other party told him that her goal was him.

Riddle sat still, silently looking at her from a distance, as if it was a silent stalemate.

The children around him who were still mocking him just now ran over one after another, hoping that they would be favored by this noble lady, and that they would no longer have to work, be beaten, worry about being hungry, or be bullied by other children... Riddle told them I know my psychology like the palm of my hand——

Because he was once one of them.

Bella has been doing beauty treatments for more than half a year for today's meeting—you have to forgive a woman who is no longer beautiful when she faces a man, uh, a boy she has been unrequitedly in love with all her life—anyway, Bella's heartbeat has never been normal since she met his gaze.

She approached him step by step, ignoring the eager eyes of other hopeful children, and came to Riddle.

Riddle kept looking at her with a cold and wary gaze.Bella seemed to see that person's unfathomable cold gaze years later, that kind of chilling gaze from the bottom of his heart, which was originally born from this.

Time is lush and lush, clustered together on this path of eyes, in front of Bella, countless buildings of time have collapsed and stood up again, and the hourglass of time dripped grains of gravel, little by little, shaping them into finely crafted small buildings in front of her eyes. Riddle.

mylord...

"Finally found you...I'll take you home."

Riddle was confused.He couldn't understand the deep emotion in Bella's eyes, which contained endless words, but he couldn't understand a single word.

But not being able to understand it doesn't mean he will let his guard down.

"who are you?"

Riddle asked coldly—it was almost malicious.

He was testing her to see if it was Mrs. Cole's conspiracy to get rid of his thorn in the side.

Yes, during this time Riddle had already begun to suspect Mrs. Cole's abnormal behavior.There will be no unreasonable tenderness in this world.Riddle saw through this maxim at an early age.He has been waiting for the day when Mrs. Cole reveals her true purpose——

Maybe today.

Although it sounded a bit funny, when Bella heard Riddle's expected questioning, she was like a girl who was about to confess to her long-lost dream lover, her heart was beating violently, and her hands and feet were so tense that she was sweating.

She silently cast a shielding spell, and exhausted all her courage to tell a lie that she had only dared to imagine in the craziest dreams:

"I am your future wife."
