HP Bella's Lie

45- Prepare with both hands

"Who do you think can convince Patriarch Black?"

In the dormitory at night, Bella seemed to be playing with a small metal gadget. Mona focused on applying softener to her freshly washed hair. She only glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, and heard Bella ask.

"Shouldn't you be the most aware of this kind of thing? Apart from Darklord, it should be the veterans of Volpes. For the leaders of other forces, it is more accurate to say that they are jealous than convinced."

After Mona finished speaking, she didn't hear Bella's answer, turned her head slightly, and found that she was frowning and studying the gadget in her hand thoughtfully.

"What are you playing?" she asked curiously.

Bella raised the object in her hand, and it was only then that Mona noticed that it was a gold disc surrounded by two gold rings, and the structure in the middle could not be seen clearly due to the distance.

It took Bella a moment to realize her question: "Huh? You mean this? 'He' gave it to me before parting. A time-turner."

"Why send a time-turner? Speaking of which, I have only heard of such things. Rodolphus said that the straight-A student in their dormitory once applied, but the Ministry of Magic and the school are very strict, and it seems that they did not approve it."

Bella looked at the time-turner in her hand and smiled: "It's nothing unusual, do you want to see it?"

Meng Na nodded, took it over to observe, and found that the middle of the gold plate was hollowed out, with a small hourglass embedded in it, but there was no sand in it.At this time, Bella's voice was heard saying: "I'm disappointed. It's scrapped and can't be used. The hourglass in the center has a big crack, and the sand has flowed out."

indeed.Even if you see the real thing for the first time, you can see the serious damage of this time converter at a glance.

"However, you don't seem to hate this gift that much? You just took it off your neck and wore it next to your body for a day."

"...I don't like it." Bella's answer was more like a mutter. She took back the Time Converter and wore it around her neck, and said as she walked to the bathroom, "He insisted that I keep it close to me. He said it was to prevent the erosion of the curse... "

Mona watched her walk into the bathroom.

"...Do you want to take a bath with that on?"

"It's just washing up..."

In the middle of the night, Bella who was lying on the bed still did not fall asleep.

The dormitory has been filled with darkness and silence.

My mind is like the evening sky, the colors are crazily rendered and splashed, and myriad of thoughts are condensed into a long painting with unknown meaning.

There is still no result to guess about V's identity, but the person who comes to mind at the first time is the most unlikely person rationally.But excluding the most unlikely person, the remaining candidates were not at the level she was familiar with.

Father's application for admission was self-defeating, but Andromeda conveyed his father's decision to give up this opportunity.Sure enough, he was still too careless, which led to the complete failure of his father's plan.

But compared to these... The brightest red in the clouds always shines with the picture of the mysterious seven days.

The broken time-turner was close to the heart through the fabric.

Although there is no more sand, the heartbeat seems to replace the scale of time, flowing with a bang.

As soon as that face flashed across the brain, the blood was involuntarily hot.

It is undeniable that Mister Mystery is unusually handsome.

Seven days allowed Bella to fully observe his apparent invulnerability.Not only is it amazing at the level of love at first sight, but also has a deep temperament and deep eyes accumulated over time.

Being handsome alone is already extraordinary, but he also possesses profound knowledge and impressive strength.

And what she saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

For young girls, Mr. Mystery's affectionateness is a fatal blow.

These excellent qualities made his concealment not only did not arouse Bella's disgust, but exuded a mysterious charm.

Bella was born with a desire for the mysterious.

The more mysterious, the more eager to approach, eager to understand, eager.

For Mr. Mystery, this kind of desire is mixed with a lot of green feelings.

Mona, who knew her best, asserted that she would choose Darklord's speech, and maybe that was her choice a week ago.But after only seven days, she couldn't be sure.

Thinking about it carefully, nothing special happened during these seven days.However, there is just something different.So much so that Mona, who knew her best, didn't understand her anymore.

Can love change a person?

Bella had this doubt for some reason.Then, did she fall in love?

The other party can only be a mystery.

She fell asleep in a trance.

At night, owls chirp at the top of the tower, and the moonlight gently caresses the cold bricks of the castle.

Bella dreamed of a boy whose face could not be seen clearly.

A long dream.

The morning light lifted the curtain, Bella sat up, shaking her head, unable to distinguish dream from reality for a while.This state continued at the dinner table, until she was awakened by a package delivered by an owl.

She let out a cry of pain, rubbed her head and angrily threw a plate of oatmeal to the nagging owl.

"Whose package? I remember you haven't ordered anything recently." Meng Na asked in a leisurely manner.

Inside the package was a letter:

Cousin Bellatrix, please grant me one request.Put me in for the upcoming darklord lecture at Hogwarts this month.I know it's against school rules, but you can do it, right?The package has props and books to help.Say it in advance, thank you so much!

yours,

Cousin: Sirius Black

In addition: Andromeda also received the same package, I suggest that you cooperate together, so that you can be more confident!

"What kind of messed up format is this!" Bella's dissatisfaction was twisted into a knot, "Sirius is trying to make trouble again. But this time he is delusional! How can I help him... Andromeda doesn't have that now Gu, it seems that this kid doesn't know what happened to me before."

"However, there seem to be quite a few people who want to come to Hogwarts recently. My cousin, who just graduated last year, wrote to say she wants to come and see me." Meng Na elegantly cut the steak on the plate, took the time to sweep the long table and landed. owls, "the number of owls is increasing every day."

Rodolphus said in surprise, "You mean your cousin? The cousin who hasn't spoken a word to you in the same school for three years?"

Mona nodded, "You are the only child, you probably haven't felt it yet. It's not just me and Bella, many students have been 'cared for' by relatives at home recently. If the principal hadn't stated early in the morning that people outside the school were restricted from entering and leaving this month, Huo Gewartz wondered how lively it would be."

"Hmph. Drunkards don't want to drink. Even a blind person can tell that they want to see the Darklord." Bella's tone was not very good.

Time flies too fast. Before the arrival of the 23rd, the entire Hogwarts was immersed in the excitement of the Darklord's upcoming appearance, especially Slytherin.

"Before I start explaining white meat, I need to ask someone, who knows the effect of carob beans?" Slughorn said in potions class, "I also asked a student this question a long time ago, Now he's quite a character. Guess what? Yes, the one who will be speaking at Hogwarts this month!"

There was exclamation in the classroom, and the little wizards whispered excitedly.A few students with a strong desire for performance raised their hands impatiently.

Satisfied with the enthusiastic effect he had caused, Slughorn deliberately waited for a while and scanned the students who raised their hands.

"Very good, very good. The students who can raise their hands may be the next darklord! But, as everyone knows, the darklord came from our Slytherin house—"

There was a subdued murmur of cheers from Slytherin's direction.

Slughorn glanced at them with a smile, and went on, "So, we also asked a Slytherin to answer this question."

Gryffindor's direction groaned, more accusations and complaints of dissatisfaction.

"Gryffindor don't need to be discouraged, everyone can point out the mistakes and omissions of this student's answer, and add one point." Slughorn comforted him skillfully.

Only then did the lion cubs shoot at the snake's nest with covetous eyes.

The man singled out to answer the question was none other than Rodolphus Lestrange.

On the eve of rt's arrival, all the Slytherins were eager to perform well.As the stronghold of darklord's brainless fans, they most want to show him their excellence.

In this regard, even the closest friends and lovers will not leave room.

Bella unceremoniously gave Rodolphs her fiercest gaze, and squeezed a warning through her teeth: "You'd better give me a flawless answer."

Rodolphus responded with a sharp stare of tit-for-tat—

You just wait to worship me.

Sword and sword shadow.

Not just the classroom.The Quidditch training ground, in the corridors, on the stairs, in the hall, by the grass field...

Little wizards have been particularly agitated recently.

Bella was originally a fanatic among them, but she always felt a little powerless.

It wasn't that her admiration for the Darklord had diminished, but something else was interfering with her memory.

Yes, memory.

From that night, she began to dream a lot.Every morning, it becomes more and more difficult to get out of the dream, and the illusion of dreams often occurs during the day...

He even began to regard what happened in the dream as his own memory.

However, when I really recalled what I dreamed, it was so vague that I couldn't even remember the outline.

But some knowledge that she shouldn't have began to blurt out from time to time.

The five-inch paper left by the professor of Muggle Studies, she wrote it in one go without consulting any information, and wrote an eight-inch long essay.

Mona almost thought she ate the book on Muggle Technology.

"Actually, I've done quite a bit of research on Muggle culture."

After finishing speaking, Bella realized the violation.

She had always despised - or rather - ignored Muggle stuff.

She and Mengna looked at each other, and both found the shock in each other's eyes.

"Bella...is there something wrong with you?" Mengna felt weird after she finished speaking, "But knowledge can't be grasped out of thin air just because of illness..."

"You're right. And I'm fine."

The two fell into an unresolved silence.

"Anyway... it's not a bad thing..." Bella murmured, and then cheered up and said, "Don't worry about it, Mona. Even if it's Muggle knowledge, I'm happy to relax. There are more important things now."

Bella will apply to go to Hogsmeade on the 23rd.

"Are you crazy?" Mona said in her soft, beautiful voice. "Are you really Bellatrix Black?"

"To be honest, I myself doubt it." Bella replied seriously.

Mona's expression seemed to have her world view refreshed.

In any case, Bella has not yet been able to make up her mind to choose between the two.

In order not to let herself regret it, she decided to make two-handed preparations and apply for Hogsmeade's school-leaving permit in advance, so that she could choose what she really wanted at the last moment.
