HP Bella's Lie

56 - The Portkey to the Truth

Bella was intercepted by Voldemort in full view, but everyone was envious and jealous.

You can tell with your toes that they are going on an "engagement honeymoon".Even the Patriarch Black sent a congratulatory message.

It had to be admitted that Bella was also full of curiosity about the legendary Voldemort manor.That's not a place everyone can enter.

Avery, the well-known DarkLord's confidant, stood at the door to welcome them. The carriage was taken away and placed in the backyard. The manor was quiet and beautiful, with a few rare animals. Well kept and obviously quite a few house-elves in service.

Bella also meets Nagini, the legendary and mysterious pet snake.

[Oh...it's Bella!My God...] Nagini was so excited that he was about to pounce on him, but was stopped in time by Voldemort: [Restraint, Nagini.Don't scare her. 】

Bella heard him speak Parseltongue for the first time, and the novelty temporarily replaced the fear.He looked at him radiantly, but it was a pity that Voldemort dismissed Nagini with a few words and stopped talking.

Nagini looked at Bella reluctantly, and dodged aggrievedly.

Accompanied by a man and a snake, Bella visited the manor and lived in the guest room next to Voldemort.

Every morning, when she went to the restaurant to eat sleepily, she could always see a neatly dressed Voldemort waiting at the table, and started busy work after eating with her.

Contrary to imagination, DarkLord is so busy every day that he insists on enjoying two meals with her, except for two meals in the morning and evening. He spends the rest of his time dealing with endless documents and meetings, or going somewhere to deal with affairs due to apparation. Lunches are often too busy to come to naught.

From worrying about herself at the beginning, Bella gradually became worried about Voldemort, her mood became more and more complicated, and she even gradually longed to get close to him...

It wasn't until I got along with him day and night that I realized how much time he spent with her in the past!No wonder I haven't contacted her for a long time, so busy, who remembers what day it is today.

People who do business are always easy to be forgiven. After witnessing Voldemort's daily affairs for several days in a row, the awkwardness in Bella's heart has long since disappeared, leaving only longing and worry. She even wakes up earlier in the morning every day, hoping to get along with him. a little longer.

"Bella, no matter how early you get up, I don't even have enough time to get dressed." Voldemort said.

Bella smiled and welcomed him to be honest. Voldemort was amazed by her anti-hooligan skills, and rarely made progress, which made Bella feel a little regretful...

The first weekend of the holiday saw the first guests at the estate.Bella was wondering who was so honorable to be invited here, and Voldemort had already led him to her.

This person... she actually knew him.

"Mr. Front!" Bella called.

The front desk finally got out of the research institute, and immediately used magic props to come here to visit Bella.

"Oh... Bella! I miss you so much!"

He rushed over to hug her carelessly, and was pulled away by Voldemort.

The front desk smiled nonchalantly, and sighed, "It's been so many years..."

Bella looked puzzled, did she have such a deep relationship with Mr. Front?

The front desk recalled the memories of being a guest at Riddle's house when he was a child, and he was filled with emotion, but he couldn't express it, and his expression was very distorted.

The three went to a restaurant for lunch.The front table and Voldemort relive the memories, and feel relieved for a moment, while Bella is rare to have three meals with Voldemort, and she is in a good mood. There are not many words during the meal, but they are harmonious.

The front desk wanted to continue flirting with Bella, but was sent by Voldemort to help him with the affairs, and the latter himself got away from it and stayed with Bella for an afternoon.When sending off the front table in the evening, Bella said very sincerely: "Welcome to be a regular guest, Mr. Front!"

The front table agreed with a bitter face and couldn't say anything.

After that, the front desk really came over to do cheap labor whenever they were free.Bella couldn't help being amazed, until Voldemort told her that the front desk had been good at being tricked since she was a child, and she was used to it.

"You... have known each other since childhood?" Bella asked with a bit of a bad taste.

"Hmm." Voldemort looked at a file and answered a little absent-mindedly.After a while, feeling that Bella hadn't moved, I looked up at her, and smiled belatedly: "You're not happy."

Bella curled her lips and admitted, "Yes."

"Simple." Voldemort easily picked up the receiver on the side - Bella already knew that it was a modified magic item, used to contact various institutes - and dialed a few numbers, "I'll just break up with him. "

Bella was dumbfounded: "Wait, wait..."

"Hi. Well, Bella doesn't like you, we broke up." He hung up the phone simply after finishing speaking.

A quarter of an hour later, the front table appeared in front of Bella—she knew that he was free to enter and leave the manor—

With snot and tears: "Bella... I was coerced by him at the beginning, and I couldn't help myself. I didn't want to lie to you. I have always liked you..." He realized this sentence after finishing speaking It's a bit bad, "That, but of course it's not that kind of liking, it's admiration!... Uh, anyway, don't hate me..."

Bella said helplessly: "Although I don't understand what you're talking about, I just said it casually. The one who really wants to break up with you is him..."

"In this way, I'm relieved." Hearing her words, the front desk waved his hand with great relief, "Then it doesn't matter what kind of break-up, anyway, we don't have any friendship at all, um, don't care about these details... Uh," he raised his head Just dumbfounded, "Haha, why are you here, the work is done?"

Voldemort sneered: "This is what I want to ask you, is the sampling for the magic experiment complete?"

"Ahaha, I suddenly remembered that there is a set of data that needs to be measured again, let's go first!" The front table disappeared in a flash.

Bella's mood became more complicated... Voldemort sighed, kissed her on the cheek, a little helplessly: "We are friends... sort of. But, that's all."

Of course Bella understood what he meant.It's just that there are too many people around him who have advantages over him, and the pressure is great...he needs to improve his strength.

With Voldemort's permission, she began to read the books in the manor, and found that the collection of books here was beyond her imagination, and there were many precious notes that she thought only some ancient pure-blood families would have, not to mention many There are many rare ancient books of unknown origin.

There is no restriction of the Hogwarts library here, and there is always the protection of one of the most powerful wizards in the world. Bella has no taboos in the dark arts.

Voldemort was happy with her actions, and after ensuring her safety, he let her do what he did.

The process of learning black magic is much easier than imagined. Bella was surprised to find that she used some magic very smoothly, she could learn it almost immediately, and cast it as if she had mastered it long ago.

She couldn't help showing off to Voldemort a little triumphantly, but the latter's eyes were a bit deep with a smile on his face.

"This is what you deserve."

Bella didn't quite understand what this meant, but she thought it was a compliment.

Bella was greatly encouraged by the results of her studies. She continued to work hard and continued to spend her life in the library every day, enjoying herself.

Until one day, she found a secret compartment at the back of a tome.Very hidden and small secret compartment, only one ring is hidden.

Bella didn't have time to think about it. The moment she touched the ring, a huge force came from her navel, which transported her to another place.

It's a portkey!

The nausea transmitted caused Bella to sit on the ground all of a sudden. After recovering, she realized that this was the living room of a Muggle family. She was sitting in the open space in front of the TV, with the ring door key dropped by her feet.

The mysterious Portkey of Voldemort Manor linked to a Muggle living room...?

Bella was stunned by this fact for a long time.Carefully put away the door key, stood up and called tentatively: "Is anyone there?"

From the living room to the kitchen, and then upstairs to the study, no one answered along the way.

This is an empty house.But it was clearly cleaned regularly, the furniture and floors were clean and there was a small amount of food in the kitchen fridge.

After Bella made such an inference, she was surprised to find that she knew the common sense of Muggles like the back of her hand, and even knew the location of the study on the second floor.

Something weird is happening.

on her.

Bella realized this problem with horror, and then further understood that this change must be related to this place, and even related to him.

She didn't want to think deeply about him, but decided to find out the details of the house first.

As if she had some guidance in her heart, she walked towards a bedroom intuitively——

It was that strange phenomenon again—she knew it was a bedroom before she went in.

Suppressing all the guesses in her mind, Bella pushed the door open and went in.

The style of the bedroom is simple and elegant. The shelf in front of the desk is full of books and notes. Bella walked up to her and opened a book that was pleasing to the eye.

The name on the title page reads:

Bellatrix Black.

Bella's heart was shocked, and she turned the pages.This is a study note that records Muggle mathematics theory. Strangely, the handwriting on the note is exactly the same as her own!

Countless unimaginable guesses were running in her brain at high speed, Bella closed the notebook in a panic, put it back to the original place, and supported the table with both hands to stabilize her emotions.

After a while, she thought of something, raised her eyes and quickly scanned the bookshelves, then pulled out a stack of notebooks, and opened the title pages one by one.

Sure enough, every notebook had the name "Bellatrix Black" written on it!

But one of the notes is slightly different. Below the name, a line of lighter-colored words reads:

Memory ink test.

Apparently to test the traces written in ink.But what is unusual is that Bella understood the function of memory ink at a glance, and she had never heard of this term before.Write down your own memory, the secret handwriting that only you can see, if it is really that kind of ink, then being able to see this line of writing means...

This is a sentence written by her own hand.

A voice inside her said—

that's it.

Open it and you will know everything.

Bella took a deep breath and slowly turned to the next page.The moment the pages of the book were lifted, it was like an ancient evil seal was opened, and the hidden dark magic could devour people's hearts.

The notes were turned page by page, and the light outside the window gradually dimmed. Bella had long forgotten the passage of time, and was immersed in that unbelievable long-term memory.

Her future, going back to the long past, collided with his fate, bursting out brilliant and fantastic sparks.Numerous puzzles have been answered, and secrets have been revealed one by one. Bella's mood goes up and down like a roller coaster.

And at the end of this most shocking secret memory, there is a heartbreaking and cruel truth.

—I am about to die.I clearly felt this fact coming.There is no afterlife, no rebirth.The me who is about to be born may be a brand new me, and may become a theoretical me, but the me who is sitting here writing this text will indeed die and leave this world completely.The feeling was so real that I couldn't have any illusions about it, I was just so conscious of the end that I couldn't do anything about it.But Riddle... I don't want him to bear the truth, although I know better than anyone how strong he is and how powerful he will become, but I don't want him to be alone forever, without anyone to accompany him... I know that if he doesn't want to, No one can really accompany him... If there is anyone who can take my place in his heart, it will only be the one who is about to be born.

Sorry to lie to him again.He will be angry.

The first time we met, I told him a ridiculous lie. I once swore that it would be the only time I cheated, but I didn't expect to end up with another lie.

The me who is about to be born... Please replace me and accompany him on the journey.

With a bang, the note fell to the floor, and in Bella's consciousness, it was amplified into a deafening noise like a falling meteorite!She glanced at the notes in horror, stood up tremblingly, and ran out frantically, her eyes filled with tears at some point, but she didn't know anything about it, she just wanted to escape from here.

She ran out of the room, stumbling downstairs, but suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Her nerves suddenly collapsed, and Bella froze as if the pause button had been pressed, staring at the locked door in amazement, countless thoughts flashed through her mind like a landslide.

—Who would it be?
