Chapter 169: The Past

Bellatrix Lestrange is the jewel of the Black family. Pen "Fun" www.biquge.info She was a shy and somewhat autistic little girl, after all, Bellatrix Black could decide very few things on her own in such a strict upbringing, she sometimes envied her brothers, Sirius was always willful to do what he liked to do, such as calling friends with Gryffindors, and her little brother Regulus Black was a taciturn but very assertive person, Regulus Black was always alone in his room, reading or thinking, in a daze.

Bellatrix Lestrange had two younger sisters, her second sister, who was removed from the family. Because the second sister married a Muggle, such a thing happened to the Black family, which has always been pure-blooded and glorious, and made the head of the Black family lose face.

As a child, his time at Hogwarts was one of Bellatrix Lestrange's happiest years. At that time, she didn't have to think too much about things, as long as she went to class, got out of class, and completed her homework every day, she could play freely.

Not many people know the secrets inside the Black Lagoon, but Bella does, because she likes to sit alone in the window of the lounge and look out at the lake in a daze. There are some vague black shadows that suddenly appear in the water of the lake, which is a mysterious shadow that startles Bella, but fortunately, it didn't take long for Bella to slowly discover that those ghost-like shadows turned out to be some magical creatures, they were swimming freely in the water. The sun couldn't shine deep in the Black Lagoon, and although some distorted light could be seen in the Slytherin lounge, everything was dark farther away.

Quidditch is Bella's favorite sport, but unfortunately she is not very good at it. Narcissa is very powerful, and Bella often goes to cheer for her sister. After Bella left school, her younger brother Sirius entered the school.

Sirius is a headstrong child, and unlike Regulus, Sirius has a flamboyant personality and likes to do things out of character. The stricter Mom and Dad demanded of him, the more Sirius had to rebel. Sirius had a bad relationship with his parents and was even kicked out of the house several times. Bella tried to convince Sirius, but Sirius always laughed at Bella for being an obedient doll and would not show her own opinions.

Eventually, at the behest of her parents, Bella married the heir of another pure-blood family. There is not much emotion in this, just to continue the bloodline of the pure-blood family, so that the descendants can still maintain their strong magic, for the sake of the family's inheritance, the Black family needs to maintain the glory of the pureblood.

There is not much happiness in such a marriage, and Bella feels that she is constantly withering every day, as if she is just a flower waiting to wither, and it is about to wither without much wanton opening.

Her second sister seemed to be much braver than her, and the second sister fell in love with a Muggle, and at the cost of breaking ties with the family, she still married the Muggle. Bella secretly went to see the Muggle, who knew nothing about the sacrifice of the second sister. Bella sometimes envies the second sister, she is a braver person than herself. Bella is sometimes jealous of them, and they both get their own happiness.

Such a happy life lasted until that night.

Bella stood in front of the full-length mirror, once again making sure her makeup was fine, then straightened her clothes and got into the car for Muggle London.

At this time, Bella's body was still a working time turner, and some valuables were in the Mock bag, and her wand was not twisted at this time, straight and slender, like her somewhat pale fingers. As the eldest daughter of the Black family, Bella had enough dowry, and she bought a small shop in a decent location in Tumbledown Alley and ran a small business of her own. Earning money seems to be the only thing that Bella can do to relieve the emptiness and loneliness in her heart, her husband is a fool, a fanatical pure-blood, who lives in crazy fantasies every day. While enduring those boring crazy thoughts, Bella began to think carefully about what her future would be: just grow old slowly, and then die an ordinary death, or... She really didn't want to disappear into this world in obscurity.

A month after her marriage, she forced herself to work hard in the midst of unease. Bella has little interest in the so-called pure-blood family gatherings, and although her maiden and husband's families are both low-ranking and extremely prominent pure-blood families, the witch, who has been a little shy since she was a child, does not spend much time at those boring parties. After spending a month overseeing the renovation of his shop, it is finally going to open today.

Today, Bella was always a little panicked, as if something was about to happen. After getting out of the car, she walked alone down Tumbledown Alley when she saw something seemed wrong with the Borgin Bock store across the street. Karaktakus Bock was a gentlemanly wizard who was related to the Black family, and he gave Bella a lot of advice on the decoration of the shop, and Bella couldn't help but stop across the street and look over to B. Ginkbock.

A man stood straight in front of the store, his hands repeatedly trying to comb the oily hair that hung down on his face. Mr. Borgin's voice and his hair were greasy. He seemed to be talking to another wizard who was wearing a thick cloak, and Bella couldn't see the wizard's face. Boginbock is the largest shop in Tumbledown Alley. It specializes in the sale of dark magic objects, some of which are very dangerous, and the owner, Mr. Bogin, sells them and collects all kinds of strange and evil things. That's why people who look dangerous often come to this shop. Fortunately, Bojin Bock has a complete security system that can deal with most situations, and Bokin himself is also a powerful wizard, so ordinary wizards will not come to such a big store to look for trouble.

But something seemed wrong today, and Mr. Bock stood tense outside the shop, as if he wanted to explain something to the wizard, and the two were wary of each other.

Bella couldn't help but walk over: "Mr. Bock, what happened?"

Bock glanced at Bella with his gaze, he didn't seem to dare to relax in the slightest, the wizard in front of him seemed to be putting a lot of pressure on Mr. Bock.

Bella looked at the wizard opposite, it was a very young, very handsome wizard, his face was a little pale, and his skin seemed to have some abnormal lines, and the wizard's eyes were staring at Bella without the slightest emotion.

Bella had been very familiar with Mr. Bock for some time. "It's none of your business," said Mr. Bock, sternly, "and here at once I have something to discuss with this young man." ”

Bella looked at the two of them suspiciously, she didn't leave immediately.

"Let's go, Bella, this lad used to be my clerk, and now he just wants to ask me a few questions, you're getting in our way here. Bock said coldly. This is a big difference from the usual very kind Mr. Bock.

"No, this person can stay, and if she is, maybe be a witness, what do you say?" the boy began to speak, his voice hoarse as a young man should be. This sound made Bella very uncomfortable.

"Tom, what do you think, I've already told you, I haven't seen your so-called locket at all, haven't you been very clear about everything in the store by now?"

"Don't lie to me, Bock, I can know your mind. It's useless if you want to hide it, that thing doesn't belong to you, it belongs to me. You cheated it out of that poor woman, and now I ask you to return it, and you have no reason to refuse. If you need a golden galleon, I can give it to you, but something must be given to me!" the boy said quickly, what seemed to be a series of hissing sounds.

"I don't care where you heard these rumors, I can tell you that I didn't get or seen what you said. Please get out of here, or I'll have to ask for help from the Aurors!" Mr. Bock said coldly. Bella could feel Mr. Burke's nervousness, and he seemed to tense every muscle in his body, as if facing a test of life and death.

"No, Bock, you don't understand my abilities, and you don't know what kind of wizard you're up against. I can tell you that since I left here, I have been traveling all over the world, and I was lucky, I thought I would have to prepare for a long time before I could get the right to talk to you on an equal footing, but the god of magic blessed me, and he gave me what I had always dreamed of. After a series of lucky transformations, I gained my current abilities. As you have just seen, those rudimentary defenses of yours are not worth mentioning to me. So I remind you again, be a little cooperative!"

Bella's eyes widened and she saw a huge python swimming out of the shop, hovering at the feet of the young man opposite, hissing at Mr. Bock.

"Tom, you've got what you want, and you can go the way you like. I've seen too much dark magic, and you've heard a lot of dark wizards about me. But until now, I'm still here, continuing to run Boginbock, and they're all rotten in Azkaban. ”

The boy on the other side fell into a rage, and he lunged at Mr. Bock, and Bella was startled, and Mr. Bock threw out a deformed human bone, which grew into a huge white palm and grabbed the boy.

With a chuckle, Mr. Bock seemed to think that this was the end, but there was only a cloud of black mist held by the white bone hand, and soon the black mist dispersed and rushed directly towards Mr. Bock, Bock's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly took out some other human bones and threw them at the black mist. Unhindered in the slightest, the black mist continued to pounce on Mr. Burke. In a few moments, Mr. Bock was overwhelmed by the black mist.

At the beginning of the battle, Bella was pushed by a soft magic, and seeing that Mr. Burke was at a disadvantage, she hurriedly took out her wand and wanted to help.

But the black fog completely consumes Mr. Bock, and Bella doesn't know what she should do. She wanted to cast the spell, but she was afraid of injuring Mr. Burke. A roar came from the black mist, and the red light shot through the black mist, and Bella heard a terrible howl, which seemed to be from the young man, and then the next moment, the black mist slammed away from Mr. Bock and pounced on her.

Bella was stunned, the black mist instantly surrounded her, and she fainted.

By the time Bella woke up again, she had arrived in a strange place.

A black-haired young man sat not far away, silently watching the bonfire in a daze.

"Snake Whisper: That woman is awake, do you want me to give her a bite and let her continue to be unconscious. Nakia hissed, coiled up, lazily sitting close to the campfire.

"Snake Whisper: No, she's just an ordinary wizard with little fighting power. Tom replied in snake language as well.

"Snake Whisper: Hmph, it's really bad luck to talk about today, I didn't expect that Bock to have hole cards, and finally forced him out of the store, but he still failed! I'm afraid there won't be such a good opportunity next time. Nagia said.

"Snake Whisper: Those wizards of the pure-blood family, they bought so many talisman treasures with gold gallons, if it weren't for that strange treasure this time, Bock must have been almost controlled by me. But wait, when I've fully learned the Slytherin Spell, Bock will be nothing more than an ant to me. Tom said fiercely.

"Snake Language: Don't underestimate ants, a swarm of ants can kill a big snake!Tom, I said a long time ago, a snake can't kill a lion alone!" Naguia hissed.

"Snake Language: Hmph, maybe what you say makes sense, but how can there be any friends in this world, even in the future, I only need tools and subordinates, so I don't need any clansmen!"

"Snake Whisper: Then what am I, aren't we brothers and friends?"

"Snake Language: Of course, Najia, you are different, you are me, I am you, we are one, aren't we?" Tom smiled coldly and looked at Najia, who nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Where is this? Who are you?" Bella looked around and saw that it seemed to be a dilapidated building, surrounded by staggered benches, and the stained glass on the windows was shattered, and the original patterns on it were incomplete. Tom and Nagia's conversation was in snake language, and Bella had no idea what they were saying.

"It's an abandoned Muggle church. As for me, you don't need to know who I am. All you have to know is that Bock owes me something. Tom replied in the language of a wizard.

"Mr. Bock owes you something, why are you arresting me?" said Bella, hurrying.

"Haha, that old ghost Bock, relying on the fact that he has a few good treasures, wants to kill me, so I have to kidnap you first and be my shield. That old fellow Bock still cares about you, and after I knocked you out, he really didn't dare to attack me again. Tom replied with a sneer.

"What do you think, the Aurors must be hunting you down now! You know, I'm a wizard of stature!" Bella said angrily.

"Dig into the bones!" Tom slammed into a spell that caused Bella to scream. It was the first time she had encountered such pain, as if countless knives had stabbed her body, and Bella rolled on the ground in pain.

"Stupid woman, do you dare to think that your identity is more noble than mine, do you know who I am? I am the direct blood of the great Slytherin, and you dare to look down on me for anything!"

"Snake Whisper: Looks like this woman's meal this week, yes, I haven't eaten a wizard in a long time!" Nagia hissed as Tom tortured Bella.

After a minute, Tom gasped and stopped the spell. "Snake Whisper: Why don't you continue, this woman is useless! I want to eat the wizard!" Nakia hissed angrily.

"Snake Whisper: That's enough, it's not the time yet, the old thing from Bock hasn't hurt me well, and now we need this shield. Wait for me to see if she has any secrets!
