HP Bella's Lie

52 - you need time

Just after dawn, a carriage descended to the Black Lake of Hogwarts.

The dew was thick and the frost was heavy, the girl stepped out of the carriage on the wet grass, and a man's voice came from the carriage.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to me?"

Rt's voice was soft and deep, and Bella's mind had already automatically conjured up the extremely oppressive but gentle and seductive demeanor when he spoke.

Her chest rose and fell, and Bella slowly turned around: "When will we... meet next time?"

There was a smile on RT's lips: "Christmas vacation. You live in my manor."

Bella lowered her eyes and nodded with a blushing face: "Then... see you next time."

She waited for rt but did not answer, she couldn't help raising her eyes, and met the pair of gorgeous red pupils behind the car window.

"I don't think you have forgotten the little gift you received." He paused, his tone a little strange, "Although it's just a small thing, it can let you find me anytime."

Bella froze for a moment, unable to figure out what he was talking about. Regardless of her reaction, she drove the carriage away.

Looking at the black carriage gradually disappearing in the mist, a flash of inspiration flashed through Bella's mind, and she suddenly remembered what the gift he was talking about was.

Meng Na was woken up by the movement of the people who returned home in the early morning. In the misty morning light, she barely recognized the figure beside the bed as her close roommate Bella, who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets to search for something, making trivial noises.

Rubbing her messy golden hair, Meng Na's voice was full of sleepiness: "Bella, you just came back... What are you looking for..."

"Ah, I disturbed you. I'm sorry." Bella lowered her voice and answered absent-mindedly while searching, "It's still early, go to sleep for a while. Leave me alone."

Trivial rummaging sounds continued.

"..." Meng Na sighed and got up in a state of depression, "What are you looking for, I'll help you."

"Ah, no need...it's a mirror." Bella stopped, glanced at the other roommates who were half asleep, and whispered in her ear, "It's a two-way mirror. Remember?"

"Ah..." Meng Na raised her eyebrows and thought for a while, "Is it... Mr. Mystery?"

Hearing that name, Bella's face burned.

"Just...that's right..."

"Your face is a little red..." Meng Na whispered with her blue eyes open.

"Hush..." Bella stopped her words, and pretended to say, "The others are still awake. Let's search quietly." After she finished speaking, she continued to search.

Meng Na didn't rush over, looking at Ribera's blurred figure in the morning light, her eyes were thoughtful.

Hey... Guilty...

Is it related to last night's date...

The pair found the double-sided mirror in the bottom corner of the dresser drawer.

Bella wiped it carefully, and the copper mirror showed a warm and reserved luster, just like the temperament he had when he was still Mr. Mystery.

"What happened last night? I'll look for this as soon as I get back." Meng Na asked abruptly.

Bella was still immersed in the exquisite temperament of the mirror body, and froze for a moment.

"lo...I mean, Rodolphus, he... my father wants me to contact his family!"

Meng Na looked at her: "Oh...that's it. I thought it was Mr. Mystery who wanted to contact you."

Bella was a little embarrassed: "Ah, you, you still remember..."

Mona: "Of course, double-sided mirrors are quite rare. Mr. Mystery's family background looks pretty good."

Bella: "Haha... yeah..."

The two washed up and went to the hall to have breakfast together.

Mona made an appointment, staring at the exclusive report of Darklord's speech with gusto.

As always, Rodolphs showed up at the dinner table very late, with a chicken coop on his head that he had just woken up and had no time to tidy up.

"Hmm...you actually...really went to find Mr. Riddle...I even suspected that you...had the Imperius Curse..."

"..." Bella ignored him.

Bella was not in the mood to listen to the morning class at all, and kept rubbing the two-way mirror with her hands hidden in her robe.

He said he could use this to find him anytime.

Itching intolerable.

When should I find him?With what expression to face him?With what...feelings?

Bella once again fell into the vortex of contradictions.

Thinking about it carefully, since she met him, she has often been so indecisive, caught in a dilemma, and not like herself.

Is this... love?

It's a little bit different than I imagined.

That night, she had another dream.

About war and death, Avada Kedavra and skyrocketing gunfire, and out of time.

Suddenly, as if climbing ashore from the mud of sorrow, she woke up with a start, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.

After a few days, the person on the other side of the double-sided mirror couldn't hold back and contacted her.

Bella fumbled through the call like a hot potato.

The familiar handsome face appeared in the mirror, looking at her intently.Bella stared at him too, words stuck in her throat.

But rt unexpectedly did not speak, just looked at her carefully.The two stared silently for a long time.

Then the mirror went dark.

He cut off the connection.

Bella stared at the mirror, dumbfounded for a long time.

Immediately countered, rt reappeared on the other side of the mirror.

"...What did you mean just now?" Bella asked incredulously.

Seeing her expression, rt smiled a little: "Well, Ken has spoken."

Bella reacted, her face was hot, and she said stiffly: "It's obvious that you are looking for me but you refuse to speak."

After speaking, I felt even more ashamed and offended, and my expression was particularly distorted for a while...

rt smiled softly: "Bella, you need time. I understand."

Bella froze for a moment, a little afraid to look at him.

rt said: "You don't need to rush to explain to me, face everything at your own pace, and do what you really think in your heart, I won't force you. However, since things have reached this point, I will also use my own Way to solve it. Today I want to tell you that I have informed Black that I will attend your birthday party next month."

"Birthday party...?" Bella asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say you're going to do it..."

rt said: "I informed Black so, and they will do it."

His expression is full of strong confidence in his grasp, and the strong majesty almost penetrates the lens and spreads to this end of the double-sided mirror.

Bella stared at him blankly, revealing the yearning spontaneously in her heart.

rt looked at the girl gently.She is so immature now, compared with his huge power, she is too small to be vulnerable.A little carelessness, those influences that are deeply controlled by the darklord will easily influence her concepts, break her immature waist, and crush her immature mind.

Originally, I didn't want to go so fast, I wanted to give her time to grow up... But Bella is Bella, even if she is weak, she can't be deceived.

That being the case, let the truth all show itself.He will control himself, minimize the harm, and eradicate her worries and anxieties.

Then... force her to face herself.

Bella cuts off the connection.

Only when she regained her senses did she realize how long she had been staring at him foolishly.

He was so ashamed that he couldn't even say goodbye.

"Stupid as hell..."

She punched the comforter hard and buried herself in it.

With rt's words, Bella let go of most of her heart, and was finally able to re-invest in her studies.

Soon, she received a letter from her father.He told her that a grand birthday party would be held for her this year. In order to give her enough time to prepare, he specially moved the time forward to the penultimate day of the semester holiday.

"Are you going to have a birthday party?" Rodolphus exclaimed, "How old are you!"

Bella said to him angrily: "Fifteen soon."

"You also know!" Rodolphs made an exaggerated expression, "You are not a baby who has just turned one year old, nor are you an adult who is about to grow up. What kind of birthday party is held at such an unembarrassing age as 15 years old! The Black family is money Burning too much? Still in a hurry..."

"Rodolphs, if you say it again, I will remove you from the invitation list." Bella's forehead was full of veins.

Rodolphus really shut up.

Her father set aside some places for her, and she decided to invite friends from the school.Except for Mona and Rodolphs, the rest of the places need to be carefully considered.

No matter what rt's plan is, since the Black family has made it clear that they will spend a lot of money on the banquet, the invitation list should naturally maximize the benefits. Anyway, Bella has no special friendship with anyone except Mona and Rodolphs, so she can make full use of it at this moment.Those who are pleasing to the eye, those who have feuds on weekdays, those who want to date, those who have potential...all are written out and screened one by one.

Bella's life was fulfilling and exciting. It took more than half a month to finalize the list. She took Rodolphs and Mona to work as coolies to write the invitation letter, and also arrested Andromeda who was passing by. They were delivered one by one.

The last thing is to determine the dress on the day of the banquet.

Bella and Mona chose a weekend to go to Angle Alley together. This newly rising high-end shopping center is of course the first choice for all pure-blood families.

In Miss Mojin's advanced customization shop, Bella and Mona took turns running the fitting room like a relay race.

"Oh... Mona, believe me, you are more suitable for blue."

"It's beautiful, but, Bella, are you sure you dare to wear this cutout style?"

"I like this one! No, although it's dark in color, it contrasts with your pure skin! The only pity is that the design of the neckline is a bit cumbersome..."

"White suits you unexpectedly, Bella. However, I have to remind you that this mopping style requires an average of five seconds of cleaning spells for long-term care..."

The two tried more than a dozen pieces, each picked two pieces and paid for them. When they walked out of the store, they were exhausted, tired and hungry, but their spirits were still immersed in excitement.

The two girls decided to find a dessert shop to rest.

Walking into the Star Road coffee shop, the two ran into acquaintances from the school.It was Barbara, the second daughter of the Zabini family, and they were just nodding acquaintances, but greetings in this situation were due etiquette—not to mention that Bella had just invited her to her birthday party.

"Blake? What a coincidence, I met you here."

"Yeah, you came here alone?" Bella asked pretending to be very interested.

Barbara raised her chin proudly: "Longbottom went to the theater to buy tickets, and he insisted on inviting me to a performance."

Bella smirked: "That's really good."

Barbara glanced at her: "By the way, thank you for the invitation to your birthday party. You started preparing the dress so early?"

"You're welcome. Fortunately, we went to sit over there." Bella was not interested in arguing, so she quickly ended the greetings.

Pulling Mona to sit on the other side, Bella said angrily: "She is ignoring you, Mona, and I will kick her out of the banquet if you say a word."

Meng Na was in a good mood, and she leisurely drank the cloud top coffee with a layer of white mist covering the rim: "No need. Zabini has always been arrogant, if it wasn't for the banquet invitation, she might not even bother you. I I think you are right, inviting those people who are not used to it on weekdays will not only frustrate their arrogance, but may also take the opportunity to punish them."

Seeing her friend smiling as gentle and virtuous as ever, Bella felt a sense of pressure...

"Mengna... suddenly felt that you were a bit scary..."

"Hmm...don't you think so?" Meng Na calmly smiled back.

"Of course I... Heroes see the same thing." Bella smiled knowingly.
